UNIONS TO MARCH IN PRIDE PARADE (this Sunday!)

http://www.mnaflcio.org/news/join-minnesota-afl-cio-2012-twin-cities-glbt-pride-parade

Twin Cities Pride Parade update:

Parade is this Sunday, June 24 beginning at 11 AM.

The Minnesota AFL-CIO is assigned spot 43 in the parade lineup, but since we will have a float we will be staging with the other float entrants in the parking lot at 3rd Street South and Hennepin Avenue (across from the Central Library). We are asking participants to aim for a 10 AM arrival so we can self-organize before the parade begins.

Union members (friends and family) who will be marching with the MN AFL-CIO are asked to rsvp at: http://aflcio.mn/Kwjfbx

New this year, the parade ends at Hennepin and Spruce, but the contingency continues on Hennepin to the Dunwoody Institute parking lot for dispersal (just after the I 94 underpass). Union members walking with the MN AFL-CIO may want to park at the Dunwoody Institute, and walk up Hennepin Ave. to the beginning of the parade route at 3rd and Hennepin, so they will be at their car at the end of the route, or arrange a carpooling system with other people from their union who are participating.
