❤️💛💚 Juneteenth & Civic Season: What Is Your Wish for America? ❤️💛💚

Today we celebrate Juneteenth and the beginning of Civic Season, a nationwide movement led by Made By Us that takes place each year between Juneteenth and July 4th. Civic Season encourages people to connect with history, engage with their communities, and reflect on the future they hope to help shape.

As part of Civic Season and America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, the New Rochelle America 250 Wish Project invites visitors to share their hopes, dreams, and wishes for the nation’s future. Through this interactive community art installation, every wish becomes part of a growing display of community voices and aspirations.

Wishes collected in New Rochelle will join thousands of others being gathered at libraries, museums, and community spaces across the country as part of the national Wish Wall initiative coordinated by Made By Us.

📍 Visit the America 250 Wish Project at New Rochelle Public Library through June 23 and add your voice to this growing community artwork

What is your wish for America's future?
