National Affirming/PIE Day 2025
Join us for the next National Affirming/PIE Day on March 14, 2025!
Why PIE? PIE = Public. Intentional. Explicit. Those are the standards we hold ourselves and our welcome to when we seek to live into being Affirming, Welcoming, or Inclusive people and communities.
This year’s theme, "Sing Out Proud," represents our sharing of values and joy in celebrating difference and diversity throughout our beloved 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
We are excited to share our inaugural PIE Day song contest's winning original songs and choir performance. The video and songs (lyrics & sheet music) will be shared with you to use in your PIE Day event(s).
How can you “Sing Out Proud” this PIE Day?
Bring together local 2SLGBTQIA+ musicians or choirs to perform for a PIE Day concert or service
Ask your community’s singers or choir to perform one of the winning PIE Day songs
Host an open mic night fundraiser for a local 2SLGBTQIA+ serving group, with pie served at intermission
Learn and sing a new PIE Day song together at the next anti-2SLGBTQIA+ protest. In the 1960s, “We Shall Overcome” became the song sung at peaceful demonstrations and is still used today. Create a new tradition of protest songs!
Think of what it means to you to “Sing Out Proud” through music, arts, food, or whatever else you can dream up!
Submit your PIE event to the official calendar here. Tag Affirming Connections and Affirm United/S’affirmer Ensemble as you share stories and photos on social media so we can celebrate alongside you!
