Tuesday Morning Topline Dyke March Raising Funds to Come Back Strong

Jerome Jernigan LaDay, an Oakland man, tragically lost his life in a hit-and-run incident while cycling home from work on International Boulevard. Police are investigating the case but have not released any details about the suspect vehicle. In a separate community effort, organizers of the Dyke March are working to raise $100,000 to cover costs associated with permits and emergency medical services, aiming to restore the event to its former scale. Currently, they have raised nearly $30,000, demonstrating strong community support for the event. This fundraising effort underscores the cultural significance of the Dyke March in promoting LGBTQ+ visibility and rights.

Such events often rely on community engagement and funding to thrive. The success of this campaign will be crucial in ensuring the march can continue to take place annually. Local involvement will play a significant role in the march's future and its impact on the community.
