Are you required to purchase a shirt to ride through the parade?
There is no purchase requirement, but we'd like to have a cohesive look for the group & we hope that you can wear last years shirt #AtheistsDefendDemocracy

Can I get a tax receipt for the purchase of my shirt?
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to provide tax receipts for payments made to cover the cost of the inventory.

How can you ride on our float for the parade?
Arrive to the Parade Staging Area found in the map attached no later than 8am wearing primarily red, white, and blue; a bit of PRIDE never hurts! 🏳️‍🌈
Parade maps are attached with information on how to find us!

How can you help prepare? Glad you asked, we need it!
Volunteers will be needed for decorating on Friday in Irving
(Exact location & Time TBD, but the location pin in this invite is for arriving at the Parade on Saturday)

How long does the parade last?
You should be heading home no later than noon, but we are usually figuring out somewhere for lunch by 11:15am

Can you still buy a shirt if you can't make it?
Our newest shirt dropped this weekend on our Merch Shop
