National Day of Action: A Declaration of Resistance to the Rise of Authoritarianism

Saturday, July 4 - 8:30am – 12pm EDT
Arch Street Meeting House
320 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19106
AFSC warmly invites friends to join together July 4th as part of a coordinated National Day of Action: A Declaration of Resistance to the rise of authoritarianism. Together, we will explore ways to protect our communities and imagine the shared future we want to build. We will gather at Arch Street Meeting House (320 Arch Street) at 8:30 AM to take part in a People’s March from Washington Square Park to Independence Mall.
In coalition with local and national groups marching in the People’s March, we will declare our commitments to:
-
Protect people and communities
-
Resist authoritarian government
-
Build a free, equal and just future
After the march, we will come together at Friends Center at noon for lunch, fellowship, and light programming focused on the work ahead. We hope you will join us for this meaningful time of connection and collective purpose.
