AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

This Sunday, June 5 -- DORCHESTER DAY PARADE and cookout after!







Get Ready to 

March Together in the DORCHESTER DAY PARADE!

(AND COOKOUT AFTER!)

Sunday, June 5

Gather in Lower Mills by 12:30pm

 





 

Dorchester People for Peace will be marching again this year in the Dorchester Day Parade on June 5 along with our friends and allied organizations.  

 

We’re in Division 1 this year, near the front of the parade!  Line up by 12:30 (or earlier if you like – our van will be there format least 11am) on Washington Street between the Walsh Playground and Richmond St.

 

Every year Dorchester People for Peace reserves a place in the parade, then invites our friends. Together we bring our vision and our values to thousands of people along the four-mile route. Join us this year!

 

Our message will focus on building a neighborhood-based movement to resist wars and military interventions abroad – while opposing racism, dispossession and budget cuts at home; reducing excessive military spending; and funding urgent needs in our communities.  Thousands of marchers and parade watchers will see our banners and get our anti-war flyers. 

 

Marchers will 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. We’ll have hamburgers and hotdogs – please bring a dish or drinks if you’re able (You can drop off what you are bringing before the parade – Jeff’s house is walking distance from the Savin Hill T-stop)

 

WHERE: Lower Mills, Dorchester
