Socialist Alliance invites you to join us and march in the 2002 Pride March.
The march is an opportunity for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals,
transgendered people, intersex people, queers of every stripe AND all
supporters of gay liberation who want to combat homophobia, to take to
the streets.
Socialist Alliance has registered a contingent and will be marching to
highlight one of our priority pledges -- ACTIVE opposition to sexism,
racism and homophobia.
When: Pride 2002 takes place on Sunday January 20.
Time: The march will start at 5 pm precisely. Assembly starts from 3.30
pm. The Socialist Alliance contingent will assemble at 4.30 pm.
Assembly point: The march assembles at the park on the corner of Fitzroy
Street and Lakeside Gardens in St Kilda. Assembly points will be
assigned around the perimeter of the park. The Socialist Alliance
assembly point will be clearly marked.
What to bring/wear: The Pride March places emphasis on contingents
having a "visual look" [last year the march attracted 45,000
spectators]. So that our contingent has a bit of a colour theme, please
dress in your preferred combination of black, red and pink. Bring placards.
Help make the banner: David Glanz will be coordinating the production of
a new SA banner for Pride. To help contact David on:

Help build the contingent: Please forward this e-mail on to anyone you
think might like to join the Socialist Alliance contingent. If you can
include leaflets promoting the contingent in mail outs or distribute
them at community events, please contact Alison Thorne on:

Pride March policy: FYI, Pride March has a policy of not allowing the
sale of merchandise in the assembly area without prior permission (they
actively enforce this policy). They will not grant permission on the
day. Pride March does offer community groups the opportunity to have a
trestle space at the final concert at the end of the march. The cost is
$16.50 and stalls can be booked by contacting Pride on 9513-3054.
Help raise the profile of Socialist Alliance in the LGBT community and
promote the understanding that the struggle queer liberation and the
struggle for socialism are inseparable. See you at Pride.
