<b>1) March with the Stonewall Warriors, and others as part of the
AskTellAct Coalition contingent in Pride on Saturday, June 9.</b><br>
<br>
In response to the “official” theme this year (“Proud to Serve…”) there
has been a groundswell of opposition to the Pride Committee’s
subservient nationalism-in-a-time-of-war message. The AskTellAct
Coalition - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.asktellact.org">http://www.asktellact.org</a> - has
been meeting for a month
and the movement against, war racism and sexism in the LGBT community
is growing! Our community has a major role to play in helping end the
immoral and unjust wars of occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and to
bring the troops home NOW! We need to send a strong message that there
is "NO PRIDE IN OCCUPATION"!<br>
<br>
<b>* Work Session</b> - Help make banners and placards for Pride<br>
Thursday, June 7 at 6:30 at the Action Center, 284 Amory Street (the

The struggle to win their freedom has galvanized a broad united front
among those who battle oppression based on their gender expression
and/or sex and who they love. Individuals and organizations have signed
on from 45 countries, from every continent and from virtually every
state in the continental U.S. <br>
