We need lots of volunteers to make and bring posters of what you stand for, about 6 volunteers to hold big banners, and about a dozen people to bring empty lawn chairs. Optional: wear patriotic colors and a decorated hat. We suggest coming early and parking near Buckley Park and walking down to the train station for the start. The city will have a street dance after the parade at Buckley Park, so feel free to stay and enjoy.
