SIGN PETITION – HONOR RIPON, WI!

Repersent Ripon, Wisconsin, at America’s 250th Anniversary Celebration

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ripon Rabbit Hole Launches National Petition to Honor Ripon, Wisconsin, at America’s 250th Anniversary Celebration

Ripon, WI – November 10, 2024 – Today, Ripon Rabbit Hole announced the launch of a national petition to include Ripon, Wisconsin, in the Great American State Fair and “Salute to America 250” celebrations in 2026. The petition, hosted on Change.org, calls for Ripon’s recognition as a vital symbol of freedom, resilience, and justice in America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

Ripon’s place in American history is profound. Known as the birthplace of the Republican Party, Ripon’s Little White Schoolhouse was the site of the 1854 meeting where abolitionists and reformers joined forces to oppose the expansion of slavery. The town also played a role in the inspiring story of Joshua Glover, a freedman rescued by abolitionists after being captured under the Fugitive Slave Act.

In 1954, then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower commemorated Ripon’s dedication to freedom by lighting the Freedom Flame, a symbol of the town’s legacy that is rekindled every March 20th, and burns today in the hearts of many world wide.

As we approach 2026, the 172nd anniversary of the Republican Party’s founding and the 72nd anniversary of the Freedom Flame, Ripon Rabbit Hole is calling on supporters to join in recognizing Ripon’s contributions to our nation. Including Ripon at the Great American State Fair will celebrate the town’s impact on American history and remind us of the courage and resilience that define our country.

“Ripon’s history is a story of freedom, justice, and the relentless pursuit of equality,” says Aj The Ripon Rabbit. “We believe Ripon’s place in American history deserves recognition during our nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations. This petition gives everyone a chance to support that vision.”

Ripon Rabbit Hole invites people from all walks of life to sign the petition and help honor Ripon’s contributions. Through this initiative, we hope to ensure that America’s 250th celebration reflects our shared commitment to freedom and justice.
