Free America' Event Locations on July Fourth Weekend
Women's March, the organization behind "Free America Weekend," is calling on people to join or host events over the coming holiday weekend.

"We invite communities to create their own Free America events—rallies, marches, block parties, banner drops, street parades, art builds, backyard BBQs, dance protests, and more," the Women's March website said.

"They want us scared, divided, and alone. They don't want us to dream about freedom. But that's exactly what we have to do," it continued. "This Fourth of July, we will be in the streets with songs of freedom and joy. The dream of American freedom belongs to all of us, and we will not stop in our pursuit of its promise, now or ever."
