He San Miguel de Allende Center for Adolescents AC (CASA) is a non-profit organization legally established in Mexico, which since 1981 has been dedicated to improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable population, through interventions in health, education and culture, promoting respect for human rights with a gender perspective. Using a youth-to-youth model, it has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and has advocated for public policies to promote structural changes. 

It is the text that greets you when you enter the website of www.casa.org and from which several things could be inferred with a selection of certain keywords such as vulnerable population and gender perspective as well as its firm objective of improving the living conditions of this population. 

More than 30 thousand people have been assisted thanks to their social intervention program and the number continues to increase, thus expanding the help they provide on a significant scale. Their multiple programs such as childbirth care or their Library Program ensure comprehensive support for anyone who needs help.

And it is in this month of PRIDE que Casa forms a partnership with Colectivo Colores who on this occasion are organizing the San Miguel Pride March representing each of the shades of the rainbow as a symbol of the incredible diversity that exists in our community and the expression of all gender orientations as well as the emphasis on the dignity and pride of sexual diversity. 

This space of trust and dissemination is in charge of celebrating the march, which is a global movement, in a local way in the only way that San Miguel is capable of doing so: through art and the relaxed and inclusive way that our locals have of demonstrating. 

The walk will take place this Saturday, July 13th, starting at 4 pm with a meeting point at Juarez Park and ending at the Main Garden, all with the goal of familiarizing and accepting the great diversity that exists in our community and so that both repression and discrimination can be abolished once and for all. 

Both Nadine Goodman (director of CASA) and social activist Rafael Cabrera called on people not to miss the march and how it is important to defend and enhance the rights of the LGBT+ community.

See you at Pride!
