“Two Lights for Tomorrow” Marks Paul Revere’s 1775 Ride

(April 19, 2025) — “Two Lights for Tomorrow” is a nationwide initiative to commence the celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States of America. The famous ride of Paul Revere occurred overnight on April 18 – 19, 1775. Two Lights for Tomorrow originated from a multi-state collaboration at A Common Cause to All in Williamsburg, Virginia. It uses the imagery of that shining light 250 years ago as a uniting call to action today for our fellow citizens to remember and to honor the birth of our nation’s independence. You know the line from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, Paul Revere’s Ride: “One if by land, Two if by sea.”
