Today we celebrate Juneteenth. 🫶 Also known as “Freedom Day” and “Emancipation Day,” Juneteenth marks a pivotal day – the arrival of Union General Gordon Granger in Texas in 1865, finally bringing the news of freedom to enslaved people there. Though the Emancipation Proclamation came earlier, Texas’ remote location delayed its impact. It wouldn’t be for another six months that slavery in the United States would be formally abolished with the ratification of the 13th Amendment. While freedom wasn’t instant across the nation, Juneteenth celebrates that pivotal moment in Texas and the ongoing fight for equality. • • • • #camposhomesnj #equality #juneteenth #juneteenthcelebration #realtor #realestate #realtorlife #camdencounty #gloucestercounty #burlingtoncounty #southjerseyrealtor #njrealtor #kellerwilliamsrealty #kellerwilliamsrealtor #newjerseyrealestate #newjerseyrealtor

🇺🇸 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🇺🇸 Today, we commemorate the signing of the 13th Amendment, a monumental step toward liberty in American history. Yet, like a symphony, true freedom requires all voices in harmony. While progress has been made since 1865, systemic inequalities and injustices continue to plague our nation, from racial profiling and mass incarceration to voter suppression and economic disparities. As James Baldwin said, “Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” His words serve as a stark reminder that complacency is our enemy.

These fundamental values are the bedrock of a just and equitable society, and we must actively defend them. ✅️ 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺.

Every step, from advocating for policy changes to challenging personal biases, contributes to the collective movement for freedom. Remember, freedom is not a destination; it's a journey we must walk together.

On Juneteenth it is important to reflect on where we have been and what still needs to be done.
On Juneteenth, we honor the end of slavery in the U.S. while recognizing the ongoing fight for true equality. Although the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in 1863, it took over two years for that news to reach the last remaining enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. While we've made progress, systemic racism persists. At Griesing Mazzeo Law, we stand against all forms of oppression and injustice. As a women-owned firm, promoting diversity, inclusion, and equal rights is central to our mission. We wish everyone a reflective Juneteenth as we continue marching towards true liberation. #juneteenth

Equality under the Constitution: Reclaiming the Fourteenth Amendment - OA PDF: https://lnkd.in/g7CwTjh4 The principle of equality embedded in the Declaration of Independence and reaffirmed in the Constitution does not distinguish between individuals according to their capacities or merits. It is written into these documents to ensure that each and every person enjoys equal respect and equal rights. Judith Baer maintains, however, that in fact American judicial decisions have consistently denied individuals the form of equality to which they are legally entitled―that the courts have interpreted constitutional guarantees of equal protection in ways that undermine the original intent of Congress. In Equality under the Constitution, Baer examines the background, scope, and purpose of the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment and the history of its interpretation by the courts. She traces the development of the idea of equality, drawing on the Bill of Rights, Congressional records, the Civil War amendments, and other sections of the Constitution. Baer discusses many of the significant equal-protection cases decided by the Supreme Court from the time of the amendment’s ratification, including decisions on reverse discrimination, age discrimination, the rights of the disabled, and gay rights. She concludes with a theory of equality more faithful to the history, language, and spirit of the Constitution. #FourteenthAmendment #14thAmendment #EqualityUnderTheLaw #Citizenship #CivilRights #Equality #USConstitution #SupremeCourt

The Second Amendment is a beacon of freedom that shines equally for all Americans, irrespective of color or creed. It embodies the principle that the right to bear arms and protect oneself is universal, transcending racial and ethnic lines. 🔫 In embracing this fundamental right, we acknowledge the strength and diversity of our nation. The Second Amendment serves as a reminder that our freedoms are shared and must be equally respected and protected for everyone. It's a call to unity, emphasizing that in the eyes of liberty, we are one and the same. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻 Let's stand together in support of a right that knows no color, advocating for policies and practices that ensure this freedom is accessible and equitable for all Americans. As we uphold the values of the Second Amendment, we reinforce the foundation of our democracy: equality, respect, and justice for all. 🗽👥 #SecondAmendmentForAll #UnityInFreedom #Equality #AmericanRights
