We wanted to amplify this because itâ€™s genuinely sad that this isnâ€™t how Americaâ€™s 250th birthday is unfolding. Americaâ€™s 250th birthday should have been about bringing people together through our shared culture, history, music, art, and traditions.

It should have been a celebration that reminded us of everything that connects us as a nation a moment to showcase the incredible diversity and creativity of the American people. That would have been a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.
