NH Rebellion to Walk the Seacoast on July 5

The group is working to get money out of politics.

On Saturday, July 5, hundreds of citizens will walk the New Hampshire seacoast, joining the NH Rebellion in demanding an end to the root problem of money in politics.

“The role that money now plays in the political process disrupts the free market, encourages polarization, forces politicians to cater to special interests, discourages new candidates from running, and leaves the public ever more disillusioned. The NH Rebellion is focused on the root of this problem — money in politics — and is giving the public hope and a way to take action,” said NH Rebellion Executive Director Jeff McLean.

From 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on July 5, please join the hundreds of local supporters that will walk a 16-mile stretch of coastline starting in Hampton and ending with an event at 2 p.m. at Fort Constitution in New Castle.

For two weeks in January, the founder of the NH Rebellion, Lawrence Lessig, led hundreds of people in walking the length of New Hampshire to raise awareness and give hope to the public — a public who has become disillusioned by the central focus that money now plays in our political system.

The NH Rebellion will ensure that the problem of money in politics is a central issue in the 2016 Presidential election by asking every primary candidate this simple question: “How are YOU going to end the system of corruption in Washington, D.C.?"
