I wish, hope that our peaceful and transparent demonstrations translate to change vitally needed. So appreciate the share. It’s one thing to name the elephant in the room and quite another to get it out the door!
Thank you, Jon, for sharing this incredibly powerful and timely video. The "Independence Day in Woods Hole" parade is a brilliant and moving example of how a community can clearly and creatively speak out against the unfolding challenges we face, relevant to anyone concerned with democratic values. The message conveyed by those posters, rejecting fascism and promoting joy, science, and freedom, resonates deeply. It's a vital reminder of what's at stake and the importance of civic engagement, no matter where you are in the world. This video truly offers both a mirror to what is happening and a beacon of hope for how to respond.
