‘This isn’t about any one administration’: protests kick off in DC to reimagine the next 250 years in the US

Thousands are gathering in Washington today at the Next250 rally, launching an art installation called the Declaration of Interdependence. It's a reimagining of the nation's founding document, outlining collective values organizers say should guide the next 250 years: a living wage for everyone, access to green spaces, and safe communities. According to The Guardian, the installation opens in McPherson Square, one block from the White House, timed for one week before the nation's 250th birthday. Organizers stress this isn't about any single administration—it's a broader vision for America's future.
