Des Moines Waterland Pride advocates, educates, and fosters LGBTQIA+ awareness, emphasizing acceptance and belonging. Our mission includes addressing intersectional issues such as racism, housing and food insecurities, and homophobia and transphobia, and to create intentional, sustainable, and safe environments for the Des Moines LGBTQIA+ community.
