“At a time in our nation when healthcare is being rationed and rents are outpacing wages; teachers are working second jobs and rural hospitals are closing, we must continue to stand up for what’s right for all Americans. July 4, 2026 marks 250 years since the Declaration of Independence. The We the People March for Freedom is not just an event to celebrate this document or its declaring independence, but, the night before the fireworks, to remind America what and who it’s for,” stated Esteban Woods, AHF Director of Advocacy and Legislative Affairs and March for Freedom coordinator.
Organizations from across Florida can still sign up to join the coalition and participate in the July event. To learn more about the We the People March for Freedom and become engaged in the movement, visit wtpmarch.org.
