July 3 Parade for America

An invitation from Alex Kearns:
It is often the case that in the darkness of tragedy, a small light
glimmers: a light born of increased knowledge and the determination
to learn from shared heartbreak. As a catastrophe of almost
unimaginable proportions continues to unfold in the Gulf of Mexico, a
renewed awareness of the fragility of our planet is sweeping our
nation...and the world. The crucial need for renewable sources of
energy, calls for greater regulations – and the strict adherence to
those regulations – and the demand for the exploration, funding and
development of sustainable energy can no longer be ignored.

On July 3rd in St. Marys we will celebrate the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence. Throughout the United States
environmental organizations are reporting a massive surge in their
memberships as citizens begin to more fully embrace the need for
mindful stewardship and environmental awareness. Independence from
oil is imperative, for as long as our country continues to bear the
burden of consumer-driven addiction we will be destined to repeat the
Gulf tragedy.

We invite you all to walk with the St. Marys EarthKeepers during the
July 3rd parade. Parade participants will be gathering at 9:15am on
Meeting St. (beside the old mill property). Now is the time for
unified voices, solidarity and strength. Please join us.
