“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.



ELECTION FOR DEC CHAIR

DEC members, please attend the July 18^th DEC Meeting where we will be selecting a new Chair. If you are interested in running for Chair, your application must be received by July 11^th. Contact Stacey at 772-226-5267 or come into the office for a copy of the application.


RALLY BUS FOR HOMESTEAD

Lights for Liberty is organizing a protest at the Homestead children’s shelter on July 12th from 7:00-10:00 p.m. Lights for Liberty is organizing protests all over the country on July 12th at the largest children’s shelters (detention camps). We have secured a Rally Bus to take to this protest.

Currently, we have 2 “Scholarship” tickets available due to people being unable to come. If you want to come, but find the cost prohibitive, contact Al Griffiths at to use the scholarship tickets.

We CAN NOT sit this one out. If this isn’t the fight for the soul of America we don’t know what is. It is time to get out in the streets, be seen for what we stand for, as well as what we are against.

You can read more about the event at: [link removed]

JULY 4^TH PARADE

Thank you to all who came out to walk in the 4^th of July Parade in Sebastian. It was hot and long, but our volunteers walked, smiled and had an impact. We handed out our new palm cards to adults and candy to kids. It was a great way to start the day!
