Polar Pride Day 2024

Good Morning,

We would like to invite you to join us and our partners across APECS on Monday, November 18th, 2024, to celebrate Polar Pride Day.

Polar Pride Day celebrates the contributions of LGBTQIA+ people to polar science. It was launched in 2020 with participation from 49 countries, over 4000 tweets, and a global reach of over 12.8 million people! In 2024, we want to build on this success and take the Polar Pride message to an even bigger audience, and we need your help to do it. 

A particular highlight of last year was the images of celebrations in the field. If you plan to celebrate at either pole, at your institute, or virtually, please make sure that you take some photos or videos to share on the day. If you are using Twitter, please use the hashtags #PolarPride, #PolarPrideDay, or #PolarPride2024. 

Please share widely, stay in touch, and let us know what you’ll be doing! The attached document provides more information.

Best wishes, 

Jasmine and Darcie
