Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. As we honor the day when the last enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom, we also recognize the responsibility to preserve and advance its legacy. Through education, advocacy, community engagement, and cultural programming, IDAAC Indy works to uplift Black history, empower future generations, and promote equity throughout our community. This Juneteenth, we celebrate progress while recommitting ourselves to the work that still lies ahead.

Another example of how this administration is harmful to our community. They are absolutely ok with our communities being treated poorly by organizations receiving our tax dollars. We must get engaged in the political process to help prevent this type of treatment.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finalized a rule that narrows how discrimination is penalized across federal grants.
