We believe in our right to practice our faith freely and openly. While misunderstood and sometimes overlooked, our community is vibrant and thriving. By sharing our customs and beliefs, we hope to bridge the gap between Pagans and the general public, fostering greater acceptance and understanding.
Reno Pagan Pride is a local chapter of the International Pagan Pride Project, a nonprofit that organizes Pagan Pride Day celebrations worldwide every September. Our shared goal is to create a more inclusive community where Paganism is respected. Here is a breakdown of our mission:
- Advancement of Religion: We work to ensure Pagans have the freedom to practice their faith openly.
- Eliminating Prejudice: We combat discrimination based on religious beliefs and educate the public about Paganism.
- Fostering Pride: We help Pagans feel confident and proud of their spiritual path.
We achieve these goals through four key areas:
- Education: We provide resources and information to dispel myths and misconceptions about Paganism.
- Activism: We advocate for Pagan rights and participate in interfaith dialogue.
- Charity: We support charitable causes that align with Pagan values.
- Community: We help Pagans connect with each other and build a strong, supportive community.
