Kennedy family wears jackets protesting Trump immigration policy at Fourth of July parade
"I really do care," they read.
The weather may have been sunny and warm down on the Cape, but the Kennedy family celebrated the Fourth of July in Hyannis Port in very particular jackets.
At the Cape Cod town’s Fourth of July parade, several members of the Kennedy clan donned green camo-colored jackets with “I really do care” written on them, an apparent reference to the “I really don’t care, do u?” jacket First Lady Melania Trump wore on her trip last month to a Texas facility housing migrant children separated from their parents.

Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Ethel Kennedy and the late Robert F. Kennedy, posted an Instagram photo of several of the jackets, along with signs that read, “Break bread, not families.” The jackets were reminiscent of a shirt that Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark wore in a Twitter photo last month and of clothes that many others have sported since the first lady was photographed in her controversial jacket.
Kerry Kennedy’s daughter Mariah Kennedy Cuomo also posted a photo to Instagram of herself and cousin Noah Kennedy wearing the jackets. Based on a picture in Kennedy Cuomo’s Instagram story, the family seems to have won a trophy for “Best Float or Group” at the Independence Day parade.

Last month, nearly 50 members of the Kennedy family began the Break Bread Not Families Fast, a hunger strike aimed at bringing attention to the thousands of children who have been separated from their parents at the border.
“We want to find a way for people who can’t go down to the border to actually do something themselves at home that is concrete and creates change, and this is what we’re calling on them to do,” Kerry Kennedy told The Boston Globe.
