America 250 is a momentous occasion that presents Americans with the opportunity to celebrate the greatest country in the world and all that she’s achieved. At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen, right?
Not according to America-hating leftists. Rather than come together to express gratitude for the nation they call home (well, at least for “indigenous peoples” anyway), these ungrateful crisis actors are aiming to hijack the semiquincentennial by turning it into a celebration of Marxist ideology and its accompanying policies — all of which are completely at odds with the American experiment.
According to a press release obtained by The Federalist, this June 27 “nationwide day of mobilization” organized by several left-wing groups “will include coordinated marches, rallies, cultural activations, performances, artistic installations, youth storytelling projects, teach-ins, faith gatherings, and community events.” The presser’s subhead further states that organizers — which include far-left activists Linda Sarsour and Carmen Pérez — launched the coordinated event as a way to “Advance an Inclusive Vision of Repair for the Next Chapter of America in Contrast to Trump’s Whitewashed ‘F250.’”
“Organizers say the mobilization is intended to offer a broader, more inclusive vision for how the country approaches the 250th anniversary. One rooted not in exclusion or erasure, but in participation, belonging, democracy, and a shared commitment to building the next chapter of America together,” the press release written in leftist-speak reads.
The June 27 mass demonstrations are being spearheaded “in part” by the Next 250 initiative, which is not shy about its goal of “leveraging” America’s 250th birthday celebration to “reimagine what our nation can become.” The group seeks to base the nationwide mobilization on its “Declaration of Interdependence,” an apparent mockery of the Declaration of Independence that attendees can sign committing themselves to the Next 250 cause.
And what, one may ask, is that cause?
The Next 250’s press release notes that the core pillars of its “Declaration” center around a “Living Wage for All” (wealth redistribution), “Climate Justice for All” (climate alarmist policies), “Reproductive Rights & Justice for All” (pro-abortion policies), “Voting Rights for All” (opposition to election integrity), and “Gun Safety and Peace for All” (gun control). Not exactly the patriotic sentiments expected of a supposedly celebratory America 250 event.
Next 250’s efforts to “reimagine” America through its June 27 demonstrations are also evident after examining its listed partner organizations for the event. Among the left-wing groups involved are One Fair Wage, the Trans Latin@ Coalition, the Workers Center for Racial Justice, and several others.
The Next 250 press release identifies All of U.S. 250, Get Free, 50501, Youth250 as among the other left-wing organizing groups that are part of the “broad partnership” helping coordinate the nationwide protests.
All of U.S. 250 proclaims on its website that, as the country is preparing to celebrate its 250th birthday, “a white supremacist faction is pushing our country in the opposite direction.” Clearly directed at smearing President Trump and his voters, the group further asserts that “the MAGA regime is in the midst of trying to whitewash our past so they can whitewash our future” and that “we can see this in their attempts to not just erase the history of enslavement and genocide, but roll back hard-won civil rights victories.”
Get Free is a radical left-wing organization that professes support for reparations to “undo white supremacy” and “repair the harm.” The youth-oriented group is a partner of “No Kings,” a leftist protest movement against the second Trump administration.
The 50501 Movement similarly sprung up in response to Trump’s return to office. The organization has espoused support for racist DEI policies, “LGBT interests,” and “Palestinian nationalism;” sought Trump’s removal from office; and participated in demonstrations against Trump, Elon Musk, and ICE, according to InfluenceWatch.
Youth250 seemingly aims to increase youth participation in “civic life.” The initiative boasts an FAQ tab on its webpage that includes a question, “I wouldn’t call myself patriotic, is this program for me?” The accompanying response reads:
There’s plenty to criticize about the United States, or any nation on Earth, whether you’re American or not. But patriotism isn’t just about waving a flag. It’s about believing in the potential of our country and working to make it better. Whether you love the 4th of July or skip the Pledge of Allegiance, this program is for you.
The groups’ main demonstration will take place in Washington, D.C., while “communities nationwide will host local actions and gatherings” throughout the country, according to Next 250.
