Pasha Eve Ripley
Parasol Patrol Co-Founder
Parasol Patrol is a grass-roots organization that grew from the need to protect children and others from verbal and visual assaults of protesters at the Drag Show for All Ages at Mile High Comics. Our founder, Eli Bazan, paid for ear protection and oversized umbrellas to keep the kids from hearing vulgar taunts and angry faces and hateful signs aimed at them. As the numbers of protesters grew, so did the number of volunteers shielding the kids. The owner of Mile High Comics, Charles Rozanski, knighted our group the Parasol Patrol and the name stuck. Now featured in news stories, we're growing and protecting more kids at more events everywhere. Feel free to contact us at Pasha@ParasolPatrol.org.
