Dear MoveOn member,

To be honest, this Fourth of July will be challenging for many of us.
We’re in a time of national crisis, and these last few years have left us
feeling anxious, exhausted, and more divided from our neighbors than ever
before.

But there’s a different story to tell about America and the moment that
we’re in: America is a work in progress. It's a narrative that we are
shaping every day through our resistance to racism and our commitment to
creating an America that works for all.

We are proud to partner this Independence Day weekend with prominent
writers, actors, musicians, and performers on #MyAmericanFlag, a social
media campaign highlighting diverse voices that truly make America great.
Artists including Stephanie Beatriz, Aloe Blacc, Roxane Gay, Billy Porter,
and Alfre Woodard have worked with us to create versions of the American
flag that honor and celebrate their own individual heritage and how it
fits into the broader American fabric. No matter where we're from or how
we got here, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to be an American, and we
all have a role to play in making the American dream a reality for
everyone.

We won’t let our identities as Americans be restricted or undermined by
those who sow hate and fear. By celebrating those voices that are
sometimes excluded from the definition of “American” because of race or
national origin, we’re reaffirming our commitment to our country’s highest
ideals. And of course, an important part of being an American is our
ability to determine who leads our country. If you're able, that
begins—but doesn’t end—with voting.
