SUMMARY:Veterans Appreciation March
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Mario Romero as our Keynote speaker. \nMario served as a Navy Seal 2003-2012.  His Service included two tours to Iraq & one to Afghanistan. He’s a demonstrated leader – as a Seal team instructor and during his tours. \nHonorably discharged\, Mario received a bachelor’s degree (in pure Math) from Columbia University and a Masters Degree in Systems Engineering (Magna cum laude) from UH-Clear Lake. He has worked for Intuitive Machines (building two vehicles that have landed on the moon) & NASA. Mario has received numerous awards recognizing his many achievements. \nHe wants to stoke change in order to support what most Americans want; affordable healthcare for all\, raised wages\, clean water & air\, protected social security & well funded public education. Believing in secure borders\, he looks for a humane approach to this problem. \nOne of his highest priorities is protection of Veterans Affairs – primarily healthcare. \nWe are privileged to have Mario join us on this important day. \n  \nShow support for our veterans as we protest cuts to VA services and other important federal services! \nWe will have an optional 1/2 mile Protest March along Seawall Blvd\, adjacent to the event venue. \nThere is plenty of accessible concrete space\, and a large shady lawn. \nBring your sign\, your water\, and your chair if you’d prefer to remain stationary. \nPaid parking ($5-10) is very close. \n\n  \nWe will be testing our cooling station in preparation for the summer! This is a particularly important protest as services for our Veterans are at tremendous risk. Please bring a flag\, bring a sign\, and bring your friends. This location is wheelchair accessible. \nClick here to rsvp for the protest: https://mobilize.us/s/Wswgsd \nWith our larger attendance\, we are getting better organized – and we need more help! We need people to put up signage\, put up canopies (tents) for our info booth\, etc. – or you can be one of our “yell leaders” and lead chants. \nClick here if you are willing to help: https://signup.com/go/qKKdexM
