All of US: A Nationwide Mobilization for Truth, Equality & Freedom Ahead of America’s 250th
June 27, 2026 – Nationwide
The Equal Justice Society is proud to be a partner of this effort.
This year marks the 250th Anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence, and our country is at an unprecedented crossroads. At a time when our country should be coming together to celebrate all that we are, how far we’ve come, and commit to finishing the work to make America a place where freedom and equality are truly for all, a white supremacist faction is pushing our country in the opposite direction.
The MAGA regime is in the midst of trying to whitewash our past so they can whitewash our future. We can see this in their attempts to not just erase the history of enslavement and genocide, but roll back hard-won civil rights victories.
We refuse to comply. While they plan a whitewashed celebration of the 250th. We are coming together to: Repair our full history rather than erase it; Celebrate the progress we have made through struggle; and Commit to the work to ensure liberty and equality for All of U.S.
