Hands Across Long Island — In Defense of Democracy @ Westhampton

This Memorial Day, May 25th, join us for Hands Across Long Island — In Defense of Democracy, a powerful day of unity, community, and action. Forty years ago, Hands Across America inspired millions to come together in a shared call for compassion and hope. On this 40th anniversary, Long Island is creating its own moment of solidarity — not by physically joining hands as in 1986, but by joining voices, hearts, and purpose. Across Long Island, “We the People” groups, community organizations, advocates, families, friends, and neighbors will stand together to defend the values that connect us: equality, freedom, rights, choice, justice, and the power of every voice to be heard. This is an invitation to everyone who believes democracy is strongest when people show up for one another. Whether you are attending for the first time or have spent years advocating for change, your presence matters. Come be part of a visible, united movement for hope, dignity, and democracy — because together, we are stronger. This event is on Memorial Day, a somber day; it is the hope that signage for this day will be focused on encouragement for the defense of our democracy rather than criticism of the current administration. This is a local Indivisible event brought to you by Indivisible Long Island.
