Because there is so much happening in this country we disagree with

we are attending a No Kings rally today…

This doesn’t mean we are terrorists…or we hate the USA.

We plan to raise our voices in opposition…as is our right to do

and peacefully tell those in charge of our government…

we disagree with you.

That we're against sending our military into our cities

that your tariffs have caused many including our farmers strife…

That we’re against ICE and your racist immigration policy

your lies and your disregard for human life.

That every life not only matters…but is important and valuable too… 

not just the ones you deem important…the ones who voted or agree with you.

That we would like to see everyone have health care…

That you stop banning books and whitewashing our history…

That all humans are treated humanely

and we plan to do this…non-violently.

Yes…we will raise our voices in opposition…as is our right to do

and peacefully tell those in charge…we disagree with you.

Because we hate what we see happening in this country…

doesn’t mean we hate the USA

and is the reason we will stand with many others…

in the No Kings protest today.

All the while we will be keeping a watchful eye

feeling nervous, worried and stressed

for those sent by our government 

to take away our right to protest…

Because as our government moves away form a democracy

and its actions every day seems more and more bizarre 

Despite what those in power are saying…we are not terrorists…

but we know who the terrorists are.

May we be blessed to have learned these simple facts. 

knowledge we should have been taught in our youth….

how we don’t need many words…

when we’re going to speak the truth.

And if creating a better world for everyone…

is our our goal…our undertaking…

how important it is to speak our truth

even when our voice is shaking.

 Today's Juneteenth blessing comes from Ida B. Wells

and is meant to correct the lies being told about slavery

and all the ones who continue spawn them…

‘The way to right wrongs…she said 

is to turn the light of truth upon them
