About the June 27th Mobilization:
The June 27 mobilization is a large-scale national gathering that brings together elements of movement organizing, civic engagement, cultural celebration, healing, and public action. The gathering integrates organizing, culture, healing, storytelling, spirituality, and public action into one collective national moment. The mobilization will include music, art, spoken word, cultural performances, storytelling, and other creative activations that reflect our communities’ spirit, diversity, and resilience. Rather than organizing solely around opposition, this mobilization centers on what we are building together: a future grounded in democracy, belonging, justice, dignity, and shared humanity. Next250 is providing a bus to the mobilization in collaboration with BLIS Collective, Middle Church, and New Yorkers 4 Reparations and we would love for you to join us!

More about Next250:
Next250 is a nationwide, multi-year initiative using the 250th anniversary of the United States as an opportunity to demonstrate our unity as a people around shared values and issues, and to imagine and build a future for our country for the next 250 years that is rooted in justice, belonging, dignity, democracy, and interdependence. Next250 is an opportunity to reflect honestly on our history while also declaring the future we want to build together. The first 250 years were shaped by systems built by people, and those systems can be reshaped by people.As we witness the ongoing erosion of voting rights, attacks on civil liberties, the targeting of immigrants and marginalized communities, and growing efforts to divide and silence our people, we know this moment requires all of us to come together with courage, clarity, and collective action.
