Clearwater Booted from Parade Over Banners | New York City News
Description
The historic sloop Clearwater was abruptly pulled from a major July Fourth parade by Coast Guard boats just as it began, after displaying banners reading “Save the Clean Water Act” and “Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions.” Though Sail4th organizers claim the ship violated a prior agreement banning political messages, Clearwater’s leadership insists they were never asked to remove the banners and were simply ordered to leave. The Coast Guard acted on Sail4th’s request, though the exact communication remains disputed. Despite the disruption, Clearwater vows to continue its mission, buoyed by widespread public support and undeterred by the incident.
