You’re Invited to People’s Independence Day<h2>Reading America Into Being</h2>On July 4, 2026, the United States will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But whose independence are we celebrating—and how close has America come to fulfilling the promises it made 250 years ago?Join us for People’s Independence Day, a special public presentation that examines the nation’s founding ideals, its unfinished struggle for freedom and equality, and the work still required to build a democracy that truly belongs to all of us.Through powerful readings and reflections, our speakers will explore the meaning of independence—not simply as a historic declaration, but as a living commitment that each generation must claim, defend, and expand.<h3>Featured Speakers</h3>Mimi Kennedy Anthony Manousos Rick Banales Daniel Tamm Sharon Kyle Dick Price<h3>Saturday, July 4, 2026</h3>10:00 a.m. to NoonOrange Grove Friends Meeting Hall 520 E.
