CODEPINK ON THE MARCH: 4TH OF JULY PARADE, Alameda

[Sappho]

This wonderful parade with a small-town feeling is one of the largest
in the USA. CODEPINK has joined the Alameda Peace Network in the
parade for three years now and has a wonderful time promoting peace
and dressing up very very pink, including our vehicles and bicycles.
The crowd cheers and flashes peace signs at us all along the route.

Pink Paraders will meet up at 9:00am on Lincoln Ave. at Walnut Street.
We are parade entry #112. Look for the pinked-up pickup truck and Dozo
the Clown. Marchers can take turns riding on the truck. Bring your
pinked bicycles too!

Our theme this year:
"YES, WE CAN! PRESIDENT OBAMA: END THE WARS AND BRING ALL OUR TROOPS
HOME SAFELY"

Other messages we could have:
"JOBS AND HEALTHCARE-- NOT $14 BILLION/MONTH FOR AFGHAN WAR!"
"STOP KILLER DRONES IN AFGHANISTAN"
"INDICT CHENEY FIRST"

Don't forget water, sunscreen and a hat. It's about a 3 mile walk and
takes about 2 hours. Bring something to share for a fun picnic at
Alameda beach afterward.
