Lunar New Year for All 2013 will mark our 4th year marching in the
Lunar New Year parade. Help us continue the tradition by joining Lunar
New Year for All on Sunday, Feb. 17 to celebrate the Year of the
Snake.

WHY WE MARCH ---We march because homophobia, transphobia and
discrimination still exist in Asian Pacific Islander (API)
communities.  We march for the grandmas, grandpas, aunties, uncles,
mothers, fathers, siblings, cousins and all other family members in
our community who love and accept us for who we are.  And we march to
honor all of the different kinds of families that exist in our
community.

1.) JOIN US ---
When?  Sunday, February 17
Where?  We will meet at Project Reach on 39 Eldridge Street [cross
street, directions, map at bottom of msg.] before the parade and walk
over to our designated area. (Project Reach is wheel-chair accessible)
What time?  TBD
After the march, we will have an after-party at Project Reach.
Lunar New Year for All is
open to all, particularly LGBTQ APIs and family members.

12 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Project Reach - This will include a
presentation on API Equality’s research on how to talk about LGBT
issues to Chinese people of different generations.   Food will be
available.
RSVP [?] on Facebook, “Like us” and share the event with friends -
