We will also have a featured performance by Chief Greenbud.
We are encouraging everyone in attendance to meet Saturday, May 7th, 1:15pm, near the corner of 12th St. and Trinity St., adjacent to Waterloo Park. From there, at about 1:45pm, we will march down to 11th St. and over to the South Capitol Steps for the rally from 2:00-4:00pm.
