In 1773, a stalwart band of patriots took direct action against the tyranny of King George by dumping a million dollars worth of tea into Boston Harbor. From this grassroots protest, an American revolution and a new democratic nation were born. (P.S. Even if you're not going to
Boston, you can still support our revolution!) |
You are cordially invited to join Kim Gandy and Eleanor Smeal at a
