Join fellow vegans as part of the Doo Dah Parade on Monday, July 4, beginning at 12noon; the parade kicks off at 1pm.
“Celebrate Liberty and Lunacy with off the wall range of mischievous grounded superheroes, political debacles, homegrown satirists, and the other bohemian frolickers winding through the Short North.” This is a great time for vegans to come together and to be provocative, zany, and leave an impression that folks won’t forget.
We will need signs . . . all positive vegan statements please. Here are some suggestions . . . “Kale Yeah!,” dressing like zombies with signs and sounds of “Grains, Grains!,” “Tofu: the Other White ‘Meat’,” or a blue Facebook sign that reads, “Vegan . . . 70 Billion Animals Like This!”
If you have any ideas, please post in the comments.
We will be making our final decision of what to create by June 21. An example would be us dressed as non-human animals with a human kabob. Doesn’t have to be that wild, but you get the idea. We hope that you can join us!
Monday, July 4 at 11 am.

There will be candy to give the kids as well, of course!

Imprisoned American Indian Movement (AIM) elder Leonard Peltier is 77 years old, suffering from severe diabetes, hypertension, an aortic aneurysm, and is blind in one eye. He has been imprisoned for more than 46 years, unjustly convicted of aiding and abetting in the murder of two FBI agents.
Many members of Congress have joined Amnesty International, Nobel Peace Prize laureates including the Dalai Lama, and Pope Francis to call for his immediate release on humanitarian grounds. Former US attorney James Reynolds, whose office prosecuted Leonard in 1977, recently appealed to President Biden for clemency for Leonard, “We were not able to prove that Mr. Peltier personally committed any offense on the Pine Ridge Reservation,” on June 26, 1975.

We will meet before 4 PM on the North-East corner of Goodale Park, at the intersection of Park Street and Buttles Avenue, begin will a few words and walk clockwise around the Park. If you have a SPAN Ohio T-shirt and sign, please bring them. We will have some signs available. Bring a noisemaker.

From Michael Moore:
The choices we make in the next few hours will determine the fate of our democracy
Minutes ago the Supreme Court ruled, once again, that women are indeed second-class citizens — stripped of their rights to control their own bodies, and forced to give birth should they become pregnant.
This is one of the worst abominations ever committed by this country. And if we don’t act, RIGHT NOW, they will get away with it.
So, on this day of infamy, I ask, I beg, I IMPLORE you —
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
FLOOD THE STREETS!
Join me and the other millions in the majority and PLEDGE TO FIGHT BACK — today, tonight, and EVERY DAY until full rights are restored to women.
Remove all Republicans in November.
Friday, June 24 to Sunday, June 26, this on-line event requires advance registration
We’re a coalition of organizations and individuals working together to host A Radical Gathering — a virtual space for cultivating the world we all deserve.
A Radical Gathering will happen online the weekend of June 24-26 and will include a series of teach-ins, workshops, trainings, presentations, and panels, covering a myriad of revolutionary and visionary topics.
When we say the gathering is “radical,” we mean that it is for
• Getting at the roots of problems
• Thinking outside the realm of what we’ve been taught to believe is possible
• Exploring big questions and unsettling truths
The gathering is a chance to learn and teach each other, to meet other people doing their part of the work, and to practice some skills we’ll surely need. As we continue to move further into climate collapse and through other violent impacts of global capitalism and colonialism, those of us who have vision should gather, share, and practice together.
Will you join us and see where this goes from here?
