John Shearer/Getty Images for The Recording AcademyDemi Lovato is teaming up with The Trevor Project for a new campaign ahead of Pride Month this June.
In a video for the “Pride Everywhere” campaign, the singer narrates an inspiring message for the LGBTQ+ community. The message assures that just because celebrations won’t be the same this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pride can never be cancelled.
“When you see this parade, what do you see,” she asks, as we see footage of people joyously participating in a Pride celebration. “You see people from all walks of life, owning their power unapologetically, using it for those who need it.”
“You see resilience in a thousand forms. The strength to stand up, despite so many reasons to sit down,” Demi continues. “You see imagination at every turn, a brilliance shared by creative minds, writing stories, solving problems and painting pictures that will become our history.”
Demi concludes, “This is not a parade. This is Pride. And Pride isn’t going anywhere. Because Pride is everywhere.”
