Happy 250th Birthday America - Join us Saturday, June 27, from 1:30–2:30 PM at Steele Memorial Library in Elmira for a patriotic community event celebrating America’s 250th birthday with cake, proclamation, and a historic announcement from Julian Raven. This public gathering will feature the Elmira Declaration of Resilience, a message of hope, courage, constitutional liberty, fiscal truth, and civic renewal for a city at a turning point. As citizens face constitutional and free-speech restraints, families face rising costs, higher taxes, utility pressure, stagnant wages, and growing uncertainty, Elmira must remember America's story: Come celebrate America, hear a bold vision for Elmira’s future, and be part of the beginning of a local movement rooted in faith, freedom, accountability, and the power of We the People. Happy Birthday America!
