March in Solidarity with OCA-GLA and API Equality-LA
You are invited to march with OCA-GLA and API Equality-LA in the Annual Golden Dragon Parade to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Join us as we welcome the Year of the Snake and provide an LGBT presence at Chinatown's largest celebration! As the only LGBT contingent in the Golden Dragon Parade, we will march together to show that our movement for equality and the fair treatment for LGBT individuals is stronger than ever!
When: 12:00 PM on. Saturday, February 21, 2015. We will provide limited quantities of sandwiches and drinks, so please come early!
Where: Courtyard of the Hall of Records, located at 320 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, CA. The courtyard is located on Hill St., just south of Temple St.
If you arrive after 12:45 PM, proceed directly to the staging area on Hill St. between Temple St. and Cesar E. Chavez Bl. and ask for the API Equality-LA unit or look for our red t-shirts.
Transportation: Public parking is available for a fee at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, located at 555 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, 90012. Other commercial parking lots are also available near City Hall, Olvera Street, and Little Tokyo.
Persons taking the Metro Red Line should exit at the Civic Center station and walk a half block up to the courtyard between the Hall of Administration and Los Angeles Superior Court. DO NOT exit at the Chinatown Station because that is the end of the parade route!
Costumes/Shirts/Signs: We ask that you wear API Equality-LA shirts for the entire duration of the march for a consistent a presentation. If you do not already have one, you may get one for a suggested donation of $5 at the parade meeting location. We also ask that you bring NO signs with you.
