Boston Pride
2024-06-08 08:45 - 13:00
FUUSN IS GOING TO BOSTON PRIDE AGAIN!
Before COVID, FUUSN participated in the Pride Parade for decades – someone must know how long – and we’re going back on Saturday, June 8th!
We have a registered team, at least 20 interested folx, and are figuring out logistics. Some will meet at Arlington Street Church at 8:45 for pre-parade worship, or go in together on the train. Some will carpool or ride-share from FUUSN or from someone’s home and meet at Copley Square at 9:00. We will carry a banner and dance in the streets with bubbles and percussion (maybe). Looking for fun ideas!
It’s only 1.7 miles from Copley Square to Boston Common.
Please read more at bostonprideforthepeople.org before you ask any questions, and respond to Jacki Rohan at rainbow-umbrella@fuusn.org with a firm commitment and number of family and friends. The first 25 folx will automatically be on the team. After that we need additional team captains to be trained; our absolute max is 75 humans.
