FREE  COMMUNITY  VIEWING - STONEWALL  UPRISING - JUNE 25TH @6PM

6/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
JOMO Pride Inc. & Blackthorn Pizza & Pub are teaming up during Pride Month, on June 25th, for a FREE Community Viewing of Stonewall Uprising!

"When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City on June 28th, 1969, the street erupted into violent protests that lasted for the next 6 days. The Stonewall Riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world."

Due to continued issues surrounding COVID-19 we ask all attendees to practice safe social distancing guidelines when possible, and are encouraged to protect the high risk members of our community through the use of facial coverings.

JOMO  Pridefest  2020  in-person  event  cancelled

6/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Friends, Allies and Supporters,

With continued regulations on large scale events, social distancing guidelines and the concern for the safety of our community and attendees, the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision not to have an in-person Pride. It may not be feasible nor safe to proceed with our planned event due to COVID-19, but the Board is working diligently on ways we can still come together and celebrate Pride as a community, whether by virtual or other non traditional means. We will be keeping the same dates of August 29th and 30th.

While some of these restrictions may be lifted later this Summer, JOMO PrideFest was expected to bring over 3,000+ attendees from as far as 250+ miles away. While most other Pride celebrations in the Midwest have cancelled or postponed, we felt continuing with our in-person event could pose a significant risk to our community due to the influx of attendees from major city hubs across the 4-State Region. 

While the board works towards ways to provide a safe alternative to the in-person event in August, in the meantime, Jomo Pride Inc encourages the community to "Show your Pride" through the rest of Pride month and beyond by decorating your houses, businesses and yourselves and posting pictures online, tagging us using the hashtag #JOMOpride and sharing YOUR pride!

Downtown   diversity  JOMO  pride   pageant  2020 - cancelled

5/16/2020

0 Comments

 
It's with great sadness we must announce that due to so much uncertainty with COVID-19, the JOMO Pride Inc Board made the hard decision to cancel our 2020 Downtown Diversity JOMO Pride Pageant, originally slated for June 27th at the Wilders Event Center in Joplin. 

We didn't arrive at this decision lightly and wish things would have went differently this year, but the health and safety of our community and organization is paramount. 

We'd like to take this time to honor, Shayna Towers, Miss JOMO Pride 2019. Shayna has reigned with dignity, grace and upheld the values of our community and JOMO Pride Inc. Shayna has accepted an extension of her reign until our 2021 Downtown Diversity JOMO Pride Pageant next June at the request of the Board of Directors. Shayna will continue to act on behalf and represent JOMO Pride Inc and Joplin's LGBTQ+ Community until her official step down and crowning of our new Miss & Mr. JOMO Pride 2021. 

**Please note all pageant applications and entry fees will be refunded automatically. Please watch your email for further updates.

Due to the health and safety of our community during the COVID-19 outbreak our meeting on March 22nd has been postponed until April 5th at 6pm at which time we will have a Board member conference call and will reassess in person meetings based on current information available from local state and federal health and government officials. Our agenda will be posted publicly 72 hours before the teleconference and minutes will be available online afterwards. 


The health and safety of our community is most important and we urge fellow community members to take precautions and recommendations set forth by officials to minimize the spread of the virus to vulnerable parts of our communities. 


At this time our Drag Show Fundraiser scheduled for May 9th is still on, but we are watching the situation closely and will follow whatever recommendations are set forth at that time and will update the public of any further announcements or decisions. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. .
