I understand your position, but please reconsider.<br>
<br>
The Labor Day parade is an oppurtunity to not only have more
public exposure but also to confront ( so to speak ) those
people who will be there and ask them why they do not consider
the war an importent issue.<br>

<div dir="ltr">It sounds nice, these holiday parades, scheduled
once a year to celebrate what our predecessors did for us,
but until some of these groups show some solidarity with the
cause of "anti-war." I will sit this one out.<br>
<br>
I am thinking that we/AWARE should be demonstrating today,
tomorrow, or Saturday given the current US bombing of Iraq,
plans by tomorrow to bomb/attack Syria, and pending "whatever"
in the Ukraine.<br>

Subject: [Peace-discuss] Labor Day Parade - Progressive
Coalition contingent<br>
From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net">peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net</a><br>
<br>
There'll be a Progressive Contingent marching in the Labor Day
parade on Monday morning - want to march with it? Bring your
own sign, or we'll have some of AWARE's. This is the same
sort of thing we did for the Fourth of July parade.<br>
<br>
When: Monday, Sep 1st. Start marching at 10am. (Lineup
starts at 9am.)<br>
Where: Lincoln Square parking lot (where the Farmer's Market
is held)<br>
<br>
Who: probably people from several groups will be there.
Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) are organizing it.
Jobs with Justice, Food and Water Watch (some of them will
dress as bees and I might too), a group of young women
speaking out for reproductive rights, AWARE, and likely
others. But this will be separate from the political
campaigns and the main party groups - they'll have their own
contingents in the parade.<br>
<br>
The organizers of this Progressive contingent write:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><span class="ecxfsl">PDA Central Illinois will
march in the Champaign County Labor Day Parade as part of
the Progressive Coalition. Line-up starts at 9 a.m. in the
Lincoln Square parking lot, with the parade starting at 10
a.m. We will have a vehicle for those who do not want to
walk AFL-CIO picnic afterwards. We will have a voter
registration table at the picnic. Contact Deb at <a

to volunteer for tabling or roving voter registration.</span></blockquote>
