Dyke March

The 15th Annual Santa Cruz Dyke March

Saturday May 31, 2008:

Rally at 3:30 pm March at 6:15 pm

At the Clock Tower downtown Santa Cruz

On North Pacific Avenue and Water Street

The Annual Santa Cruz Dyke March has been happening for 15 years on the Saturday night before Gaysbian Pride. The purpose of Dyke March is to increase lesbian visibility and activism. We exercise our first amendment right to gather and without corporate sponsorship.

This year’s theme “I am not a failed attempt at being you” reflects an Anti-Assimilation Pro Queer perspective. Santa Cruz Dyke March is no parade- it is the practice of CIVIL RIGHTS DEMONSTRATIONS. We oppose the Gaysbian movement about obtaining Eurocentric straight privilege and challenge the power structure.

The rally convenes at the Clock Tower at 4 p.m. and steps off at 6:15pm. Featured performers are: MC Cheri Lovedog, Gabriel Morte, Genea Gjaguar, Lisa Dewey, Lex, Beaver Cleaver, Radical Cheerleaders, Frootie Flavors, Diane Patterson, Jasmine, Something Wicked Fire Troupe, and more…

No more male-dominated, corporate-sponsored Pride events.

Not a parade!

A direct action demonstration and a celebration of dyke visibility. Come out with your banners, signs, noise makers, and Be-you-to-the-full selves.
