The Procession for the Future Will Have The Streets! Join Us - Help Us Get There - Support Our Efforts - Sponsor Our Young Activists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, it's official, the holders of the march permit for Tuesday 8/26 in Denver are embracing the Backbone Campaign's propositional Procession for the Future and co-producing the march with our theme and imagery. National TV Here We Come!

We are very grateful to the R68 organizers for their collaboration and willingness to collaborate in such a meaningful way. We also want to thank all the difficult logistical work activists in Denver and Twin Cities are doing in preparation for the Conventions. We look forward to supporting R68, immigrant rights organizers, Alliance for Real Democracy events in Denver, and our friends organizing for the RNC, including the Substance concert producers, and the Sustainable Living Road Show national tour with our positive, media friendly imagery. BUT -we can't do it without you!


5 Ways You Can Help:
1. We need to raise $5,000 to buy a box truck to replace the veggie oil bus we were relying on, BUT turned out not to have third gear! ($1,700 raised this week - $3,300 to go.) DONATE NOW! https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?aid=19548

2. Loan or rent us a van to haul people to Denver, Minneapolis and back (or even just to Denver and back). Contact us at Email bill {at} backbonecampaign.orgor call 206-408-8058 if you've got one we can use.

3. Join us in Denver and in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Email or call 206-408-8058 if you can meet us at either place or ride down with us.

4. Brew us some biodiesel to power the truck. If you brew your own, and can make us a batch Email or call 206-408-8058

5. LASTLY Sponsor an Young Activist to tour the Procession to DNC, RNC and 8 Campuses before Election Day. We have 3 AMAZING activist artist youth (Matt, Logan, and Carly) that are willing to "drop it all" and hit the road for two and a half months. REWARD their dedication by sponsoring one of them for one or more weeks (only $300 a week!). Donate, email, or call 206-408-8058.
