Several AFC members attended a vigil in Chicago for the victims at the Center on Halsted. Chinese-Jamaican poet Staceyann Chin dared everyone to be out and proud&#8211;even if you&#8217;re &#8220;over it,&#8221; she dared everyone to march in this year&#8217;s parade. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great time to be Proud,&#8221; she yelled.<\/p>\n<p>In that spirit, we invite anyone to march alongside our Pride Parade float. We&#8217;re float No. 53 and will be positioned to start on the west side of Broadway just south of Wilson. We are a couple of long blocks north of Broadway and Montrose in Chicago (the Parade starting point). We&#8217;ll be gathering there as early as 10 a.m. but will require you to arrive by 11:30 a.m. at the very latest. Thanks and we will see you on Sunday, June 26!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Board and members of Asians &amp; Friends Chicago send our support and sympathies to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2976"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2987,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2976\/revisions\/2987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afchicago.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
