Sunny skies greeted the
Impeach for Peace group members as they gathered at Powderhorn Park
in Minneapolis to participate in the annual May Day parade, sponsored
by the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theatre.
World Can’t Wait demonstrators marched in the “Join-in”
portion of the parade wearing orange scrubs and black hoods, chained
together in representation of the many political detainees that have
been imprisoned, tortured and separated from their families by this
country’s current administration. The group was accompanied
by several demonstrators, including the young son of the founder of
the St. Paul chapter of World Can’t Wait, wearing a sign demanding
that Bush resign from office.
Meanwhile, other demonstrators provided information on the administration’s
crimes and impeachment-related actions steps at the Impeach for Peace
table. Over 80 people signed our contact list. Although the group
had hoped to collect donations, this was against the rules of the
May Day event. However, the interest generated was above and beyond
the group’s expectations. Impeach for Peace was invited to table
at another event in late June, where donations can be made.
The experience went well for a first-time outing, and some lessons
were learned. The group will attempt to secure a tent to cover the
table, and provide paperweights to prevent forms from being blown
around by summer breezes. |
