You're invited to march for our heroic WikiLeaks whistle-blower Chelsea Manning and show your support for Chelsea, whistle-blowers, and government transparency. * Be a contingent safety monitor (more info below) * Help lead the Chelsea Manning parade contingent by holding our lead banner! * Wave from the motorized cable car! * Cheer on our Flash Mob Dancers! * Help staff the Chelsea Manning booth at the TransMarch In 2013, the Chelsea Manning contingent was awarded the highest honor, "The Absolutely Fabulous Overall Contingent." That contingent was the largest non-corporate group with well over 1,000 people! And last year, Chelsea Manning was honored as an official Parade Grand Marshal! With Chelsea's legal appeals beginning soon, she needs your support more than ever! Volunteers are urgently needed to attend a one hour contingent monitor training prior to parade day. Contingent monitors walk (or ride) along with us during the parade to double-check everyone is following the parade rules and being safe. SF Pride requires each contingent to provide their own monitors to participate, and we'll need about 20 monitors to participate. Organized by the Chelsea Manning Support Network and Courage to Resist, and endorsed by the SF Green Party. *===========================* To submit events for our newsletter, please email a short blurb to news@sfgreens.org.
