Overview

  • Women’s March has organized roughly 200 community events—from block parties to marches—on July 4 under the 'Free America Weekend' banner to protest billionaire influence and economic inequity.
  • Indivisible chapters are staging 'No Kings 2.0' demonstrations in more than a dozen states to extend June 14 protests against authoritarian overreach and ICE raids.
  • The People’s Union USA is calling for a boycott of major retailers, fireworks displays and parades on Independence Day to spotlight wealth inequality and civil liberties concerns.
  • This wave of actions builds on the 50501 Movement’s holiday-focused strategy that began on Presidents Day and peaked with June 14’s nationwide 'No Kings' rallies.
  • Organizers are gearing up for a follow-up 'Good Trouble Lives On' day of action on July 17 to press for civil and human rights reforms.
