Feeling a little conflicted about celebrating America 250? Celebrate anyway with Indivisible LYH!
🇺🇸Indivisible LYH at Downtown LYH’s Independence Jam! 🎆
Feeling a little conflicted about celebrating America’s 250th birthday this year?
Come celebrate anyway.
The reason so many of us organize, protest, volunteer, and defend democracy is because we love this country. Patriotism means working to build an America that lives up to its ideals of liberty, equality, and justice for all.
Join us for an evening of community, conversation, live music, food trucks, and fireworks as we gather at Downtown LYH’s Independence Jam!

Our Commitment to Nonviolence
A core principle behind every Indivisible LYH event is a commitment to nonviolent action.
We expect everyone to help create a welcoming, peaceful atmosphere by:
• Remaining calm and respectful.
• De-escalating any potential confrontation.
• Not arguing or debating with people who disagree with our values.
• Following all laws and event guidelines.
• Leaving all weapons at home, including those that may be legally carried.
Let’s enjoy an evening celebrating community, democracy, and the freedoms we continue working together to protect.
See you at Riverfront Park! 🇺🇸
