This year’s theme, “United We Ride, Stronger Than Ever,” was a defiant anthem of unity after a tough year of immigration enforcement. Community members felt more confident, proud, and ready to stand tall against attempts to silence their heritage. Mayor Brandon Johnson, announcing his reelection bid on the same day, praised the event as a healing force, contrasting it with last year’s fear. With traffic plans in place, the parade was a vibrant, unshakeable declaration: together, they’re unstoppable. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
