My sense is that lots of people would be curious to learn more about parade who don’t know us that would come to it because it’s us… but who knows.

To me that word choice connotes communist/socialist rhetoric from the 1960s/1970s (e.g. People’s Republic of China, Chairman Mao) and probably leftwing activism for young folks. So not a bad thing in itself, but I see it as an obstacle to reaching many of the “average folks” we’re trying to reach and mobilize. Probably the people who are attracted by that phrasing are already on board!?
