Just helping to spread the word...
API Equality-LA is putting the call out to supporters in the Los Angeles area who would like to walking with them this weekend at the
LA Pride Parade. It's happening Sunday, June 12 in West Hollywood. Here are some more details:
Founded in 2005, API Equality-LA has been a tireless advocate in the Greater Los Angeles Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities for fair treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and marriage equality for same-sex couples.
This year, CSW (Christopher Street West) LA Pride is honoring API Equality-LA with the Connie Norman Award for its work in diverse communities! As a result, API Equality will be marching near the head of the parade AND be riding in a convertible!
Please join API Equality-LA who will be marching alongside with other members of the Asian Pacific Islander Pride Council (APIPC) in the LA PRIDE Parade on Sunday morning. We will meet... at the traditional APIPC pre-parade breakfast between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The breakfast is COMPLETELY FREE to paraders and will feature a generous spread of sandwiches, pastries, coffee, juice, and water, as well as an opportunity to meet and mingle with other members of API Equality-LA and APIPC.
The parade will step off at 11:00 a.m. If you miss the breakfast and want to meet us in the staging area, please call Tran Le at (818) 292-6922 after 10:00 a.m. for the location.
Please wear your API Equality-LA t-shirt. Or if you are joining us for the first time, we will provide you with a FREE API EQUALITY-LA SHIRT at the breakfast (Note: To ensure you get a shirt, please email us!). You may also want to bring sunblock and comfortable walking shoes.
