ALERT: Local Parade Bans Crosses

America was founded as a Christian nation. So why is one local Independence Day parade restricting Christian expression for participants?

We were shocked when we learned that the Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce recently changed their policies to prohibit religious symbols and flags in their annual 4th of July parade. 

At Idaho Family Policy Center, we recognize that it’s impossible to celebrate America without fully embracing our nation’s – and our state’s – Christian heritage. 

Christians should be free to respectfully proclaim the Gospel, the Cross of Christ, and the Christian flag. This is ESPECIALLY true at celebrations of the United States of America.

It’s time to push back against this censorship of our founding values—and stand with conviction for religious expression at local Independence Day celebrations.

Send an email directly to the Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce, asking them to allow Christian parade participants to express their faith – and the faith of our forefathers – at this community event.
