DIY Kit for Taking Action on 4th of July weekend

Take Actions on July 4 weekend wherever you are.

Here's a DIY Kit for channeling your frustration and protest energy into specific actions. This kit was created for people in Voices of Reason, an Indivisible group in central Illinois. Yet, there are ideas for all people who come to this weekend with concern about what's happening in our country.

Voices of Reason encourages you to bring creativity and thoughtfulness to this Independence Day to acknowledge we are independent, a land of No Kings.

America is in crisis. Real democracy feels out of reach. Freedom is in trouble.

This July 4th weekend, when the U.S. marks Independence Day, we’ll gather across the country—on porches, in town squares, backyards, and streets—to stand for real freedom and build a vision of a Free America brick by brick. The July 4 DIY kit is a way to bring that conversation home, or wherever you are traveling so celebrate with family and friends. Patriotism is what you make it out to be. 

The dream of American freedom belongs to all of us, and we will not stop in our pursuit of its promise, now or ever.
