Dear Fellow Americans,



Happy 4th of July everyone!



As fireworks illuminate the sky, they remind us of the core values upon which this great nation is founded. While we celebrate America’s independence and the blessings of liberty, let us not forget those who are still yearning for freedom, justice, and equality.



The Palestinians continue to struggle for the basic rights and freedoms we often take for granted. In honor of American values and in the spirit of unity and shared humanity, let’s come together to support liberty and justice, not just for ourselves, but for the Palestinians and all oppressed people around the world.



Wishing you all a joyful and reflective Independence Day!
