WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the United States celebrates Independence Day and the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Independent Women is inviting Americans to take part in its Freedom 250 campaign, a yearlong initiative to celebrate America’s exceptionalism, honor the women who helped build the nation, inspire the next generation, and advance the enduring promise of self-determination.

Meaghan Mobbs, director of Independent Women’s Center for American Safety and Security, said in a video for Independent Women’s Freedom 250: Celebrating America’s Exceptionalism campaign:

America has given women opportunities unprecedented in human history. Thanks to our founding and the liberty it protects, women have been able not just to succeed, but to flourish.

From the earliest women who fought for independence, to the suffragettes who insisted that the rights proclaimed in the Declaration belonged to them too, to the generations of women who built, defended, and strengthened our nation—for 250 years, American women have been the example for the rest of the world.

We must never lose sight of what an incredible inheritance this is. This freedom cannot be taken for granted. It must be protected. It must be fought for. This is our national inheritance. Preserving it—and expanding it—is our cause so that future generations of Americans will not only enjoy the freedoms we have today, but will live flourishing, abundant lives as truly free and independent women.

For 250 years, America has led the world, and, together, we will fight to ensure the next generation inherits an even stronger, freer, more perfect America.
