To participate, just (1) pick a country from the list OTHER than your own, (2) have some form of a celebration and/or act on that country's independence day to honor the people from that country, and (3) post documentation to the Facebook page with a message that includes who you are and where you're from.
We are doing this to promote the idea of "freedom for all, not just for me". This is a stance against colonization in all of its forms, including that which is based upon race, class, religion, gender, and nationality.
