Hi neighbors,

On Friday, July 4, I’ll be spending part of the afternoon doing something I believe is deeply patriotic: standing with my neighbors for the values this country is supposed to stand for.

“We the People” in Mountlake Terrace🗓 Friday, July 4🕒 3:00 – 4:30 PM📍 236th St SW & 56th Ave W, Mountlake TerraceHosted by Democracy in Action (MLT/Lynnwood/Edmonds/Brier)👉 Event details and RSVP

This peaceful gathering is about showing up for justice, inclusion, and the basic rights enshrined in our Constitution—free speech, equal protection, and the idea that power comes from the people. It’s not a protest against our country—it’s an act of love for it, especially in a moment when core democratic principles are under threat.

We’ll be holding signs, waving flags, and reminding each other that patriotism isn’t just fireworks and barbecues. It’s standing up for dignity, for truth, and for each other—especially when it’s hard.

While this event isn’t specifically about the city’s use of Flock cameras, the values at stake are closely connected. If you’re looking for a sign idea, you know I’m partial to “Flock NO!”

Hope you’ll consider joining.
