<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;font-size: 12pt;">Wish there were some way to relate our war & racism concerns more directly to the parade's official themes. I'll walk for whatever theme or slogan is chosen, but hoping it will
not be merely the hundredth or thousandth instance of pounding on the demon Obama. Will probably be at Bloomsday event today around time of the AWARE meeting.

<div dir="ltr">Who on the listserv plans to walk in the parade? Help make signs, a banner, and/or a float? I plan to walk and help make.

<div style="">From a logistical standpoint, handing out flyers is kind of unworkable -- most of the crowds are set way off from the main roadway, and the parade moves too fast to engage with anyone.</div>
