Lenawee Indivisible in the Lenawee County Fair Parade

Lenawee Indivisible is marching in the biggest parade of the year—and we need YOU with us.

We were 700+ strong at No Kings—now let’s be the biggest and boldest group in the Lenawee County Fair Parade.

This is a joyful, high-visibility way to spread our message, have fun, and let folks know: if you believe in liberty and justice for all, you’re not alone.

Whether you walk, ride, wave, decorate, or donate candy, you’re part of what makes this happen!

🙌 How You Can Help

• Walk or ride the parade route and hand out candy and flower seeds
• Recruit friends, family, and neighbors to walk with us!
• Volunteer to decorate our float on Sunday morning
• Donate wrapped candy for the crowd
• Drive your truck + trailer in the parade

URGENT: Do you have access to a large-capacity vehicle (truck + trailer)? This is our biggest need—many participants can’t walk the whole route. One LI member has offered a Mustang convertible for the parade, but a truck and trailer would make a huge difference!

✅ One of our amazing volunteers has offered their truck and trailer for the parade. We’re so thankful for this generous support!

📬 Can You Help?

If you can lend a hand in any way—walking, decorating, driving, recruiting, or donating—please contact us ASAP at lenaweeind@gmail.com or via Facebook Messenger.

As soon as we hear from you, we’ll share more details:
✔️ Where to meet
✔️ Signage and decoration plans
✔️ How to safely hand out candy and flower seeds
✔️ Indivisible’s approach to community organizing

We are joyful, nonviolent, and united by our love of country. That spirit is at the heart of everything we do.

👕 What to Wear:

• Red, white, and blue
• Lenawee Indivisible T-shirts
• Patriotic or military garb

🕘 Schedule:

• 9:30 a.m. – Meet nearby to decorate
• Drive to lineup spot (on College or Michigan Avenues)
• Break (bathroom/snack)
• 12:45 p.m. – Walkers join the group
• 1:00 p.m. – Parade begins
• ~2:15 p.m. – End at the Fairgrounds
  (Get pre-arranged rides back to the staging area)

Parade route starts at Thee Old Mill on College Ave → proceeds down E. Maumee → ends at the Fairgrounds entrance on E. Dean St. Although GPS says it’s a 35-minute walk, parades move sloooowly.

📌 Important Notes from the Parade Organizers:

• No pre-registration required to walk—just show up!
• Walkers must keep moving—no stopping to perform or chat
• No candy throwing—handouts must be given curbside by walkers

💬 Why Visibility Matters:

• Many people feel uneasy about the country’s direction—and are looking for a way to get involved. This is our chance to show them we’re joyful, organized, and patriotic.
• Our pro-democracy message appeals across party lines and matches this year’s fair theme: “Stars, Stripes, and Summer Nights.”
• Indivisible gets results—from 700+ here in Lenawee to 5 million nationally during No Kings!

When people see our joyful, united crowd standing up for democracy, they’ll remember. Let’s be that crowd!
