NOTE FOR THOSE IN THE PARADE: The Pacific Palisades July 4 Americanism Parade is a celebration where all in the community come together to celebrate July 4 and the founding of our great nation. It’s a community, non-political, non-partisan event, where the community celebrates each other, our country and the holiday. The PPDC participates as part of the community. Rather than a protest march, this is a day of celebration. So issue or protest signs or T-shirts are not appropriate. This is a time when Dems can come together, have some fun, and celebrate the democracy that we were so lucky to inherit, and we will always fight to protect.
