Get Ready to March Together in the DORCHESTER DAY PARADE! (AND COOKOUT AFTER!) Sunday, June 4 Gather in Lower Mills by 12:30pm

Dorchester People for Peace will be marching again this year in the Dorchester Day Parade on June 4 along with our friends and allied organizations.  We’re in Division 2 this year:  Line up by 12:30 (or earlier if you like – our blue Honda-CRV will be there from at least 11am) on Richmond St. between Dorchester Ave. and Adams St. (see map below) 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 Richmond Street between Dorchester Ave and Adams Street (Division 2) Look for the Dorchester People for Peace vehicle 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) ….
