Saturday, July 4, 2009 4:00pm
Reverend Billy and Savitri D and the Life After Shopping Gospel Choir – arrested two years ago for reciting the 1st Amendment’s 45 words before a Critical Mass bike-ride.
A drum circle gospel salsa sing–along of the guarantee of our freedom in the US Constitution.
A celebration of the history of Union Square, a re-affirmation that it is our National Historic Landmark for its history of patriotic dissent.
A defense of the Pavilion against commercialization by wealthy friends of Bloomberg.
A protest against the violation of the 4th Amendment – the assurance against unreasonable seizure – and the obvious racism in Ray Kelly’s “Stop and Frisk” program.
Come before the fire-works and enact your patriotism!
