Get Ready to
March
Together in the DORCHESTER DAY PARADE!
This
SUNDAY, June 2

|
Dorchester People for
Peace
will be marching again this year in the Dorchester Day Parade on June 2 along
with our friends and allied organizations. Please join us!
Together, we bring our
vision and our values to thousands of people along the four-mile route.
Our message will focus
on ending the war in Afghanistan and opposing any new military intervention in
Iran or Syria; reducing the military budget; and funding urgent needs at home in
our neighborhoods and communities. Thousands of marchers and parade
watchers will see our banners and get our anti-war flyers!
We’ll gather around Noon in Dorchester Lower Mills (Richmond St.) with the parade kick-off about 1pm.
We’ll have our
after-Parade barbeque and celebration at Jeff Klein’s house,
123 Cushing Ave. from about 3:30pm. Bring a dish or something to drink if
you can. Marchers can drop things off at Jeff’s house before the parade if they
want – please call ahead – 617-288-4578.
WHERE: Lower Mills,
Dorchester
Richmond Street between
Dorchester Ave and Adams Street
Look for the Dorchester People
for Peace van
You can’t drive or park
anywhere near there on Dorchester Day, so travel early and travel by T
(to Ashmont Station on the Red Line, Butler or Milton on the Mattapan trolley)
…. Or park a ways away and walk.
BRING: A
sun hat, comfortable walking shoes (it’s four miles), water. You
can bring a banner for your organization if you have the people to carry
it.
COOKOUT: After the parade at Jeff Klein’s,
123 Cushing Ave (near the end of the parade and near Savin Hill T
station)
