Hi Fae, I’ll be attending UK Black Pride in July this year and was planning on taking photographs. Do you know anything about the application process for photographer access at that event? Or is anyone else planning on attending to take pictures?
Best, Josie

As it's been a fortnight, so I have written to the Pride London events team about photographer access. I believe that it is too late this close to the event for them to register passes for Wikimedia photographers, however I have asked on behalf of the WMLGBT+ user group and we'll see if they can make an exception.
Thanks, Fae

Training of stewards has started for Pride (6 July) and I was wondering if WMUK will register a list of photographers for passes again this year? Media info is at https://prideinlondon.org/media-centre. As there are 580 organizations and several centers to the event, getting varied coverage in photo and video on Wikimedia Commons would take several photographers.
I went along to steward training last week, if anyone would like to volunteer for one of the support roles, you can find out more at https://prideinlondon.org. The event needs 1,000 stewards, with an expected viewing public of a million during the day.
