Walking through the festival was like a year of walking through JP compressed, everyone from JP seemed to be there. Most of my own time was spent cruising the many info booths and talking up the IMC, but I also listened to what each had to say. Here are a few of the projects and groups I heard about:

        The Center for Green Chemistry This program at the University of Massachusetts at Boston (and soon to be at the Lowell campus) offers the only Green Chemistry degree in the country!

        Jamaica Plain Action Network An anti-war group that came together after 9-11 and meets first and third Monday night 7:00-8:30 at Spontaneous Celebrations. (contact # 617-524-0224

        The Freedom to Marry Coalition of Massachusetts A group that engages in grassroots education, advocacy, and lobbying in support of civil marriage rights for same-sex couples. (And has a great website!)

        The Lucy Parsons Center A non-sectarian radical bookstore and organizing space in the South End (Near Mass Ave on the Orange line!)

        Here are a few more photos of the parade...
