On Sat. Dec. 2nd, Atheists United is going to participate in the City of Covina’s Annual Christmas Parade!

Why? Because we want people to know…

• Atheists are not alone this time of year

• Atheists participate in our communities in wholesome, positive ways

• Atheists are resilient against intimidation and bullying!

We did this last year and had a blast… in spite of the police surprising us with an escort!

It turns out one individual had made intimidating comments online about us and authorities didn’t want any trouble. And, there wasn’t, especially not from us!

The only way to overcome being met with reactions like this is to consistently be out in our communities… and show people they have nothing to worry about!

# Event details:

When:
Saturday Dec 2nd
Meet at 5:15 PM
Parade starts at 6:30 PM
Arrive early. Roads close for the parade by 4:30 PM

Where:
Corner of Badillo St and Barranca Ave (look for entry #172)

Waiver:
The city requires all participants sign these waivers for adults and youth (must be 11 years or older to walk with our vehicle)

Judging:
The parade’s theme this year is “sweet.” They’ll be judging us on that, so let’s get sugary… whatever that means to you! Our team name is the Solstice Sugar Saints. We’re planning on wearing glittery, sparkly gear and clothes that feature candy canes, gingerbread, and all that great stuff. (Nobody’s allowed to be Santa.) Your creative interpretation is also welcome!

They’ll also be judging us based on our decorations, enthusiasm, and crowd appeal. So let’s bring it!

RSVP:
Drop-ins welcome, but let us know ahead you’re coming so we can look out for you!
