Today we honor the emancipation of Black people from slavery, celebrate the resilience and contributions of Black communities, and reflect on the ongoing work of building a more equitable society for marginalized communities.

The struggle for freedom and equality is interconnected. Our oppression is tied together, and so is our liberation.

Happy Juneteenth!
