Plural Pride Day 2020
Join the live stream to celebrate Plural Pride with us and other systems at 6PM EDT on Saturday July 18th.
Thank you Rings System for this beautiful poster! We’re Stronger Together!
1. Support the Plural Association Nonprofit
This empowerment and resource website is a part of The Plural Association. TPA is the first grassroots, registered nonprofit for Dissociative Identity Disorder and all other forms of Plurality. Our nonprofit has 50 registered volunteers and supports nearly 3000 Plurals on a daily basis. TPA depends fully on a community and ally support and does not receive grants or other government support. Currently we are fundraising to build a Plural Support WarmLine Platform, where Plurals and their headmates can share their stories and worries with lived experienced, trained Plurals. We truly believe this community supported and funded project can help new systems so much, we believe it will support Many. Plural Pride Day is the perfect day to make a donation. We thank you for your support.
2. Spread awareness online
Let’s get the #PluralPrideDay trending together!
By retweeting, reblogging, liking, sharing and commenting on posts & spreading awareness.
If needed make a second (or third lol) account to protect your identity if needed. Via @thepluralassociation and @did_system on twitter we will provide a continuous stream of new infographics, meme’s and pictures throughout the day for you to love and share. Please feel free to also create your own! Or look back for your favorites and reshare/reupload them! The facebook pages @powertotheplurals and @thepluralassociation will also upload throughout the day!
3. Meet up
Meet up with your Plural friends (wear a mask) or if you join any sort of support group, talk with the group facilitator about the possibilities of highlighting Plurality on Plural Pride Day and see our suggestions in the ”10 things support groups can do during Plural Events”

As always, we encourage you and your System to follow your own truth, to soul search, to find words, labels, visions, theories and communities that aren’t only within your values but also match your lived experience and/or long term goals, so that you might find belonging and don’t have to try to fit in.
