The Caribbean Equality Project (CEP) hosted its inaugural gala, entitled "We Are Home", on January 19, 2025, at Terrace On The Park in Queens.
As New York City's only Caribbean LGBTQ+ immigrant rights organization, CEP has focused on advocacy for LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights, gender equity, racial justice, immigration, and mental health services for a decade.
The organization's work includes public education, community organizing, civic engagement, storytelling, and cultural and social programming to combat racialized, gendered, and sexual violence in the queer Caribbean diaspora.
The gala marked 10 years of community organizing, culturally responsive programming, support services, and solidarity work since the organization's founding in 2015.
