Meeting Description

Who

If you are an out atheist, and want the community to know you're proud of who you are, come march with us!

Organized by

"We're gathering in Cedar Field at 18th Ave and 25th St. We'll be in a group with yellow t-shirts."
--August Berkshire and Bjorn Watland

Details

Parades are one of the most fun events we do as an organization each year. As the weather warms up, we grab our banner and march with a mix of groups in the community to let people know we're here. If you feel like being part of our crowd, come on down and march with us. Together, we can let those freethinkers who are still in the closet know that they are not alone!

We'll be in Powderhorn Park after the march talking with curious citizens all about our organization and about what we support.

    Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Being new to this meetup group I think it's going to be a great way to get involved and meet fellow atheists.

Who Attended

The organizer estimated that 30 people attended.

  • Ataraxia
    "Well it looked like there were many people. We got there around 3, awww! The police were just removing the street horses, awwww! So the children that came with me missed it, awwww! But can see that it was a lot of fun and the weather was co-operating too. Maybe the next time we can be on time, awwww! So sorry it took longer to help my sister than I had anticipated, awwwww!"

  • August Berkshire
    "We had almost 30 people participating. Attractive yellow shirts for the event. Nice friendly conversations with festival attendees. Bjorn and Jeannette did free hugs from atheists (they had a sign), which was a great success and gave us an extra positive image."

  • LINDA MASSIE
    "it was a totally perfect day; weatherwise, event wise and fellow atheists wise. There could not have been a better, more perfect day. To anyone who missed it, eat your heart out."
