MLK parade - Help PAA distribute Impeach flyers!

Event Description:

The annual Martin Luther King, Jr. parade is in downtown Houston, and we plan to be there to remind people that the struggle for peace and justice continues and that we need changes now as much as we did in the 1960's.

• 9 am - 10 am: Distribute Impeach Bush/Cheney flyers
• 10 am - 11 am: Parade

We now know that Bush & Cheney have wiretapped US citizens just as Nixon wiretapped MLK, and have lied to us about a terrible war, similar in many ways to the one that King protested in the 60's.  If King were alive today, I can imagine what he'd be saying about the Bush regime, about corruption and torture, about the govt. response to Katrina, and about the Iraq invasion and occupation.

The two groups which have had separate MLK parades here for the last 10 years have come together for a single parade honoring one of the great heroes of civil rights, peaceful non-violent civil disobedience, and peace.  It's a great place to reach a lot of people.

We plan to arrive early (while people are waiting for the parade to start) and distribute flyers to educate attendees about the reasons why Bush and Cheney should be impeached, and what attendees can do to help make it happen.  We'll probably distribute Impeach bumper stickers, too.  We'll be there, rain or shine, as long as the parade goes on.

Last year, we had lots of interest in literature we passed out before parades, and most folks were very receptive.  I hope you can help with this.  It's fun, easy, and you get to watch a parade, too!

Check back soon for details, including where to meet to pick up flyers & bumper stickers to distribute, the parade route, etc.
