The third annual "alternative people's" parade hosted by chapter 9 (the Smedley D. Butler Brigade) of Veterans for Peace in South Boston: this inclusive event is the alternative to a St. Patrick's Day Parade that has excluded peace groups as well as members of LGBTQ groups since the 1990s. This year's participants also included veterans and others from all over New England, as well as a large range of local-regional labor groups, faith communities, and others working for social, economic, and climate justice, including Occupy. Participants were treated to the music of 6 different bands and performances by members of the Bread and Puppet Theater. Themes ranged from blocking the Keystone XL pipeline to freeing Bradley Manning, and ending all wars of occupation ("support the troops: bring them home!").
