About the event
Unity through shared food, shared space, and shared humanity. This picnic is not just a meal — it’s a gesture. A handshake. A moment of healing. A reminder that America is still capable of sitting together.
🧺 Signature Elements
Unity Table — a symbolic “one long table” concept where every picnic blanket represents a link in the chain
Handshake Moment — at 1:00 PM CST, everyone turns to someone near them and exchanges a simple handshake or greeting
Open Blanket Policy — no one sits alone unless they choose to
The Angels Basket — a small basket of shareable items (fruit, cookies, water) that each group brings to offer to another group
