The #summersolstice is a highly regarded day for cultures around the #world 🌎☀️.
The #sun feeds us, warms us, and is overall an amazing thing to have around. Our lives are dictated by its rising and setting, so what better day to appreciate it than when it’s highest in the sky?

We all need to speak up to save this law and the species it protects!
