GLOE at the Capital Pride Parade 2014 THE JEWISH COMMUNITY MARCHES TOGETHER Saturday, June 7, 2014 (REGISTRATION at page bottom)
The Jewish community marches together at the fabulous 39th Annual Capital Pride Parade! Let's represent the love, equality, and inclusion that the Jewish community stands for, to all of DC. GLOE invites all individuals and Jewish groups to join our contingent of DC's LGBTQ Jews, our friends, families, and allies for this fun event. Last year, we had over 100 marchers from across 10 groups, and we can't wait to welcome even more this year. We want to get as many of DC's Jewish groups involved as possible! Expect singing, dancing and maybe even a little skipping... Bring your own LGBTQ-Jewish-supportive signs, wear a GLOE t-shirt, or just show up and enjoy all marching fun! ALL ARE WELCOME! Check out GLOE's full line-up of Pride events!
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY MARCHES TOGETHER Thank you to the Jewish community organizations marching
MEETING POINT:
REGISTRATION: Not marching with us but want a shirt? T-shirts can be purchased at the sign-up link below, or the following day at Sunday's Pride Festival, at the GLOE booth! INFO FOR JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS: Does your Jewish organization/congregation/social group/etc want to join us? Fantastic! We welcome all Jewish groups to join us, and to carry your own signs or banners. (All we ask - from all our marchers - is that signs are positive, friendly, and respectful... just like our Jewish Community contingent.) Is your group committed to being a welcoming, inclusive place for LGBTQ Jews and want to march with us? Contact GLOE Director, Halley Cohen, for details on registration, and including your group info and logo, and more: gloe@washingtondcjcc.org.
Pick from: "I (Heart) Nice Jewish Girls," "I (Heart) Nice Jewish Boys," and "I (Heart) Nice Jewish Queers" - in all the colors of the rainbow! DESCRIPTION: T-shirts are the soft, slightly more fitted style. Colors are deep rich hues, in the rainbow colors - red, orange, gold, green, blue, purple - and lightly heathered (except for the gold). *NOTE* We fill the t-shirt orders in the order they were received. Please give multiple color preferences in case your first choice shirt is no longer available in your style and size. Thanks for understanding. (Link to size chart and color examples - coming soon!) Not getting a GLOE t-shirt? No problem, but if you can, please wear a top that is a rainbow color! (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.)

If you can, please wear a top that is a rainbow color - either our t-shirt or your own! (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.) 4) How can I get my t-shirt? 5) Can I bring my own Jewish LGBTQ sign? 6) What is the parade route? 7) Can I bring a friend? Even if they aren't Jewish/LGBTQ/etc? 8) What will we be doing, exactly? We'll also be throwing candy, and we take turns carrying the banners and signs. It's just a fun group - you can be loud if you want to be, or simply be a friendly face and wave to the crowd. 9) But I'm a little nervous of crowds... 10) But what about Shabbat? 11) Rain plan? 12) Any other questions (not answered by the Capital Pride website)? SUPPORT LGBTQ JEWISH COMMUNITY! We hope you'll support GLOE's year-round efforts to create inclusive, welcoming, and diverse community for LGBT Jews, through programming and offering resources nationally, as the only full-time LGBT program at any Jewish Community Center, anywhere. Grab an extra t-shirt for $18 (for those not marching in the parade), a gift which helps us to offer OVER HALF of our more than 40 annual programs for free to the community. For your gift of $100, we'll give you a Jewish rainbow Pride flag (with a blue Star of David in the middle), an "I (Heart) Nice Jewish ___" t-shirt of your choice, a "Kiss Me, I'm Kosher" chapstick, and a pack of queer Jewish stickers, in appreciation! Thank you!
