Every year, millions march at Pride. But millions more can’t. So at WorldPride in NYC, on the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, we marched for everyone who couldn't. This is the story of #MarchForMe.
______________March For Me invited people from all over the world to join virtually the 860 L’Oréal USA employees who marched in support of the LGBTQ community at WorldPride 2019, in New York City.Working in tandem with its employee-driven think tank, OUT @ L’Oréal, L’Oréal USA created “March for Me” to represent those who could not be at the WorldPride March in person but who want to demonstrate their support for the LGTBQIA+ community. Thousands of people from all over the world, including many of L'Oréal's 86,000 global employees, submitted a photo or video of themselves, which were projected on screens atop the L’Oréal USA Pride March float at WorldPride 2019 in New York City on Sunday, June 30.
