MEMORIAL PROCESSION – INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE KILLING US
We will end this rally with a memorial procession across the street. We will cross in groups, following the Band and the Speakers, each person placing their white carnation at the Altar. Donation buckets will be available near the altar. Please make a contribution to help pay for the costs of this and future rallies and also leave your postcards to the presidential candidates and Governor. Thank you for attending this event. See the back to stay involved in the efforts to win real health care for all.
