Harry Mickalide and I carried signs in the Immigration Forum
contingent of the parade today. They said:<br>
<br>
Our Wars Displace Millions<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
Stop the Wars // Welcome the Refugees<br>
<br>
Another guy carried a sign:<br>
<br>
From Palestine to Mexico // Border Walls Have Got to Go<br>
<br>
And Karen Medina carried this one:<br>

<div class="">Good for you, Karen! <br class="">
<br class="">
PDA was in the parade as well, and this year we had a
single message: Healthcare not Warfare. We were well
received by spectators, ranging from waving and thumbs
up to clapping and cheering. By engaging we keep the
subjects we care about in the public sphere and we have
the chance to foster serious discussion and education. <br class="">
<br class="">
We save what we love, we love what we understand, we
understand what we learn--the reason education is so
vital. <br class="">

Sitting on one's couch is always an option. <br class="">

The 4th of July commemorates the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence. It is true that some have
co-opted it as a celebration of wars that the United
States have fought. <br class="">
<br class="">
The theme of the Champaign County celebration is,
‘Salute To Education,’<br class="">
This theme is particularly important, especially
because we as a country fail miserably at education.
We, miseducated Americans, continue to allow US
presidents to kill between 20 and 30 million people
since 1945, for the profits of the US 1%. Let us join
together to improve education and help people develop
critical thinking in our country. <br class="">
<br class="">
Or we could sit on our couches. <br class="">
<br class="">
As for me and my house, we will join the parade which
begins at 11:05 a.m. near First and Florida, continues
East on Florida to Lincoln Avenue then proceeds North
on Lincoln Avenue to California. I will be walking
with the Immigration Forum. <br class="">
<br class="">
Sincerely, <br class="">
Karen Medina<br class="">
