What is the Outreach Team?

Maximizing the number of marchers is key to cultivating an inclusive atmosphere at the Disability Pride Parade. Outreach volunteers distribute promotional materials, organize outreach meetings, and reach out to media organizations, potential performers, and elected officials. You don't need to march yourself to help us spread the word.

What are the Different Outreach Team Roles?

• Promotional Materials Distributors: Distribute promotional materials, including Disability Pride Parade flyers, to various communities and on social media. 

• Community Outreach Organizers: Hold outreach meetings or create your own flyers and promotional materials. If you would like to host an outreach meeting, please reach out to Ed Yood at envpush.yme@verizon.net

• Media Outreach Leaders: Reach out to media organizations requesting their promotion of the Parade.

• Talent and Influencer Outreach Leaders: Ensure partnering podcasters are promoting the Parade and reach out to other podcasters and influencers. Research and contact potential performers and marchers.

• Elected Official Outreach Leaders: Follow up with Ed Yood's outreach to mayoral candidates and other elected officials and candidates as needed
