This flyer is advertising an early edition of the Christopher Street Liberation Day March, what would eventually come to be known as the Pride Parade. Based on the date, this seems to relate to the 6th annual march, in 1975. The historical significance of this object alone makes it worth highlighting in the exhibition, while in addition telling us a lot about the press and its function. Written on the flyer is the instruction to contact the Stonewall Commemoration Committee through the Come!Unity Press itself by dropping by between 2 P.M. and 2 A.M.. This underscores the doubled sense in which Come!Unity Press created a public space. In addition to the production of leaflets and pamphlets so vital to movement communication, its establishment of a literal physical free space created a clearinghouse for activists to network.
