π½ is (fundamentally) a celebration of β and πΊπΈ
In the pursuit of freedom, justice, and equality for all, we have not yet arrived.
The American dream is yet to be realized - and is under threat in our perilous time.
And so we rise up. β¨π
Joining hands and hearts, across time and space, with one another and with those who have gone before us and given their lives to the cause, and we
Stand together this Independence Day to declare:

To cruelty, greed, and bigotry, WE DISSENT
To authoritarian rule, WE DISSENT
To the illegal kidnapping and disappearing of our beloved immigrants, WE DISSENT
To military and state sanctioned violence, WE DISSENT
To fear-mongering, scapegoating, and manipulation, WE DISSENT
To the ongoing, illegal and blatant violations of our constitution, WE DISSENT
To oligarchy, WE DISSENT
To stripping the resources and support for our most vulnerable persons, WE DISSENT
To the ongoing funding and support of genocide, colonialism and war crimes, WE DISSENT
make our stand today, this Independence Day, as our forefathers and foremothers did before us. π½πΊπΈβ
And we keep the dream - and the hope - set before us. We can be free. And we shall be free. And we will continue the ongoing struggle for love, equality, and justice for all.
We are the soundtrack. πβ¨
