Kick off Pride Month with a purpose at the annual Equality Illinois Pride Kick-Off Brunch! Gathering over 300 community leaders, LGBTQ+ champions, and allies, this high-energy celebration honors those who fight daily to keep Illinois a pro-equality, pro-family state. It is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow advocates, enjoy a fantastic brunch, and help fuel the critical civil rights and public policy work needed to advance full equality and acceptance across Illinois.

This year’s event features a special celebration of the 2026 Community Pride Honorees: Aisha N. Davis, Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison, and Antonio King. Whether you are looking to network, show your support, or just celebrate LGBTQ+ joy where mimosas meet the movement, you won’t want to miss it.
