We are now planning for the 2003 Summer Pride Parade season. American Veterans for Equal Rights New York will be marching in two parades: Queens, and Manhattan. We also hope to have tables at each pride festival. AVERNY welcomes SLDN members and supporters in joining us in these events. You do not have to be a veteran to march with us, all supporters and veterans are welcome. To sign-up, please e-mail or telephone us and let us know which events you would like to participate in.
