VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

We are in need of volunteers to act as contingent monitors who will monitor the safety of our group of parade participants. This requires a one-hour training prior to the day of the parade. If you are interested in volunteering for the event please email Dan Belsky at ccwork@sfzc.org.

Participate by walking or riding in the parade with the SFZC float, handing out flyers and carrying banners.

While waiting for the parade to start we will be decorating the “floating zendo.” There may be time to watch part of the parade before we start marching. We will bring water and snacks for everyone, but you may want to bring some of your own.

Let’s celebrate the LGBTIQ community at the San Francisco Pride Parade!
