This a local Indivisible event!
A coalition of nine Indivisible groups in the Hudson Valley invites the public to Hands Across the Hudson to gather for democracy and join hands in support of our shared democratic values. The event will occur Sunday, August 30, 1 to 3 p.m. at the Walkway Over the Hudson between Highland and Poughkeepsie NY. Official hand hold across the walkway will take place at 2 p.m.
Inspired by the Hands Across America event 25 years ago, attendees will join hands in support of values we cherish and show United We Stand for:
• Voting rights
• Free speech and press
• Diversity and inclusion
• Affordable housing and healthcare
• Climate action
• Immigrant rights
• and more…
There will also be music, singing, a few speeches and booths for voter registration, food pantry donations via QR code.
Celebrate the strength of community and American values by linking hands across the longest pedestrian bridge in the world. Come along, join hands, listen to music, sing, and generate attention, enthusiasm, and engagement before the 2026 midterm elections. No signs are permitted.
*A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
