Dear John,

The 4th of July has been a celebration of freedom and liberty in the United States which is why we choose to protest instead. According to Fannie Lou Hamer, there is no freedom to be celebrated because “No one is free until we are all free.” How can we celebrate something that is denied to the most vulnerable in our communities? This year, the staggering disparities of privilege and injustices that have been ingrained into our society have been even more exposed. Join us for one of our Independence from War Caravan this Saturday at 4pm EST to demand an end to war and violence while uplifting messages of peace and justice

What: D.C.: Independence from War Caravan
When: Saturday, July 4 at 4pm EST
