Distribution of Iraq Notebook at Cinco de Mayo Rally May 6
Event Description:
This is info on the Cinco de Mayo Parade May 6. It has info for First UU paraders, but it applies to all of us. The parade begins at 10 a.m. in the Minute Maid Park area. (see map below)
Please wear white clothing (e.g., white shirts, t-shirts) to show Solidarity with immigrants.
For distributors of Iraq Notebook/Cuaderno de Irak: Our mission is to alert people, especially spanish speakers, about the Iraq war and provide info regarding recruiters, how to prepare your file for CO status as well as how to get it once you are in the armed forces -- all in legal ways. Good contact info for GI and peace organizations. Also, educational articles on Iraq, Iraq veterans for peace, great quotes and meaningful poems, etc. Read it yourself for good info!!
The Loes have papers at 1659 Harold #B (ring upper buzzer) which can be picked up Thurs. from 3 - 6:30P and Friday all day until 4:30P. We will also park our car (dust colored Prius with pink ribbon magnate on each side) at First UU church (on Fannin @ Southmore) on May 6 arriving about 8:30P and will have the papers with us. DO BRING YOUR OWN STRONG BAG (Whole Foods has great ones of heavy canvas) to the apt or the Church. If you don't have a good bag, we have a few extra. The paper is 16 pages and 200 are a bit heavy. But you will be able to get rid of them quickly; folks are usually grateful to receive them.
I will be at the LULAC booth also and have some papers there around 9:30A or earlier.
