FLOAT’S MESSAGE
We are a nation shaped by immigrants from around the world. Their resilience, determination, and hope helped build a better future for generations to come. The Monarch Butterfly symbolizes the strength and spirit they carried with them.
Those who came before us helped build our democracy on those shared values that protect the basic human rights of all people: liberty, justice, freedom, equality, humanity, and unity.
They also entrusted us with a powerful way to uphold those values: our voice, expressed through the right to vote.
Your vote gives your voice power.
Special thanks to the Float’s designer Cindi Lopane
