This July 4, the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Next250 has launched as a nationwide, multi-year initiative using the 250th anniversary of the US as an opportunity to bring people together around shared values and to build a future rooted in justice, belonging, dignity, democracy, and interdependence.

On June 27, Next250 will host All of Us 250, a day of action for truth, equality, and freedom. From rallies and protests across the country to a gathering in Washington, DC, this day of action is a chance to raise your voice, build community, and take action together.
