Brainerd Area Coalition for Peace (BACP) and Brainerd Lakers United for the Environment (BLUE) will not march in the Brainerd Fourth of July parade this year. The parade unit's float needs repair and a truck may not be available to haul the float or a trailer. Instead of marching in the parade, BACP and BLUE will hold a peace and environmental justice vigil on Monday, July 5 before BACP's monthly meeting. The vigil will be held at the intersection of Sixth and Washington Streets, Brainerd, across from the historic Brainerd water tower. The vigil is scheduled to last from 6 to nearly 7 p.m.
After the vigil ends, BACP will hold our monthly meeting in Gregory Park. Gregory Park is located at 511 North Fifth Street, Brainerd. BACP will meet at the southwest corner of Gregory Park across from the Brainerd United Church of Christ (UCC). If bad weather prevents the vigil from being held and meeting in Gregory Park, BACP will meet in the UCC upstairs library at 7 p.m. The UCC is located at 415 Juniper Street, Brainerd, near Gregory Park.
Everyone is welcome to join the BACP/BLUE peace and environmental justice vigil and the BACP monthly meeting. Please join us.
