Fox Valley Citizens for Peace and Justice will march in the Elgin 4th of July day parade.
We will have a banner and several signs that say “Should the 1 percent run America?” We will have 2 banners that say ” Stop the Enbridge pipeline.” We will have signs carrying other social justice, anti-war, and environmental justice messages. You can bring a sign or banner of your own as long as it carries a congruent message. Signs in Spanish are welcome and encouraged.
We will be delighted to have you walk with us.
