Vital Matters offers The Baltimore Interdependence Day Parade as an anecdote for fascism, right wing nationalism, and the many ills that plague our country as we are coming upon this 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We join many artists across the country, who are part of a “We the People” movement that seeks to offer altnernative visions and versions of democracy and “America” to the ones being offered by our current administration.
JOIN US, and make your voice heard! Show us what YOU value and what you envision for a more just, equitable, beautiful, and joyful future.
ALL SPECIES, GENDERS, AGES WELCOME!!
