Champaign, IL – At Champaign County’s annual Independence Day parade, Queers for Palestine took home the top prize with a float titled “Queers Against Genocide.”
The float was unapologetically bold – draped in rainbow colors and Palestinian flags, without a single American flag in sight. The float was a favorite among spectators, many who joined in with chants for “Free Palestine.”
Milwaukee, WI – A dozen members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) marched in Independence Day parades for the fourth year in a row over the July 4 weekend. The group of student and youth activists entered parades – without registering – in Whitefish Bay and Shorewood, which are in the midst of a heated recall campaign against Republican State Senator Alberta Darling.
