Description

Happy Independence Day. Please remember that not everyone in this country is free. Indigenous people have been largely forced to live on government established reservations where running water often doesn't exist and their sacred lands have been sullied or destroyed. Black lives are too often snuffed out by police practices that value them little or not at all. The pandemic is frightening for all of us but black, latino, and indigenous people are being affected in far greater percentages than whites. Until these injustices are recognized and righted, we are not all free in this "land of the free."
