[Peace-discuss] Labor Day Parade - Progressive Coalition contingent

[Karen Aram via Peace-discuss]

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.
 
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.

    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.

    

    When: Monday, Sep 1st.  Start marching at 10am.  (Lineup starts at
    9am.)

    Where: Lincoln Square parking lot (where the Farmer's Market is
    held)

    

    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.

    

    The organizers of this Progressive contingent write:

    

    
    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 deb.pdamerica at gmail.com to volunteer for
        tabling or roving voter registration.
