ACLU of Santa Cruz County, CA

 Sunday, June 6th in downtown Santa Cruz, the ACLU will again be participating in the Pride Parade to celebrate GLBT Liberation. We will have a banner and encourage all local members and friends to join us in marching from Pacific Avenue and Cathcart Streets to the County Building (about ten blocks). The parade kicks off at 11am, but come early and enjoy the positive atmosphere and colorful crowds.

We recommend bringing water, sunscreen, and a hat. When you get to San Lorenzo Park Bench lands (near the County Building) you can enjoy a day of music, food, booths, and fun.

 Latinas and Lesbians and Allies (LyLyA) has announced that they will be creating the First Annual Dyke March in Watsonville to be held on August 22nd, 2009. Designed to give visibility to a community that many times is shrouded by homophobia, this will undoubtedly be a historic event. The march will begin with a rally at Watsonville Plaza at 5 pm.
