The mission of the Pagan Pride Project is to foster pride in Pagan identity through education, activism, charity and community. Our primary purpose is the advancement of religion and elimination of prejudice and discrimination based on religious beliefs. We are a growing congregation of people who adhere to faiths that, while different, are still valid and beneficial to society.

The pagan movement has been recorded as the fastest growing "religion" in the United Sates and the world. The success of last year’s event speaks not only of the numbers of pagans in Fresno and surrounding areas but the necessity of this event to be held for visibility and recognition of the pagan and other minority faiths. Because of the diversity of groups and practices this is one faith, which is nearly impossible to quantify, however the reality of paganism as a valid religion is still an uphill struggle for recognition in both mainstream society and by the US government.

Our temples and circles have a much harder time gaining recognition by the IRS, our priests and priestesses must still more often than not turn to outside sources for validity of ordination, most of us must still have a conventional wedding for show along with our hand-fasting's, and many pagans, especially solitaries are still most of times given funerals which are not of their own faith because of issues which may arise in families and friends of families. As we enter this new eon of enlightenment, awakening, education and progress this trend cannot be allowed to continue. In many places such as the bay area the dark hand of fear and persecution are already loosening its grip. Acceptance is quickly becoming a reality. Ignorance is a disease cured by persistence.

This can be combated through education, visibility, and pride and willingness to stand together, display and share our beautiful, life affirming practices and faith with each other as one voice, as one spirit, if only for one day. We feel that Pagan Pride Day not only makes us visible, but also leads us one step further to the religious freedom that every human being both desires and deserves.
