Happy Juneteenth! Today, we honor Juneteenth, a significant day in American history. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of slavery, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation issued two years earlier. This day symbolizes freedom and the ongoing journey towards equality. Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone but a celebration of African American culture, resilience, and contributions to society. It’s a time to reflect on our progress and the work that still needs to be done to achieve true equality. Juneteenth should be more widely celebrated because it reminds us of our collective history and the importance of freedom and justice for all. It’s a day to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and take actionable steps towards creating an inclusive future. I encourage everyone to talk to their leadership about recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth in the workplace. Together, we can foster a culture of awareness, respect, and unity.

**Celebrating Juneteenth: Learning from the Past** Today, we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom on June 19, 1865—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. As we commemorate this day, we must reflect on the importance of learning from our past. Juneteenth reminds us of the long journey toward justice and equality, highlighting both the progress we've made and the work still ahead. By understanding our history, we can better recognize the resilience and strength of those who fought for freedom and continue to fight for civil rights today. Let's take this opportunity to educate ourselves and others about the significance of Juneteenth, honor the legacy of those who endured and overcame oppression, and commit to building a more inclusive and equitable future. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #LearnFromHistory #CelebrateFreedom

In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, NJP celebrates and uplifts Native American communities statewide, and invites you to reflect on today. Indigenous Peoples’ Day, at its core, aims to celebrate and honor the past, present, and futures of Native peoples throughout the United States and acknowledges the legacy of colonialism, which has devastated Indigenous communities historically and continues to negatively impact them today. This holiday expressly replaces Columbus Day, and the substitution is in and of itself important to reflect on. As activism has surged against racism, movements have toppled monuments that perpetuate a false history of the United States and torn down the narratives that they support. These are monuments that were erected to honor and further colonization by depicting a narrative of white racial superiority and domination. So instead of honoring a brutal slaver and genocider today, crediting this man with “discovery” of a place already well known by its many residents and a place that he didn’t even actually reach, celebrate contemporary Native peoples and renounce symbols of white supremacy. Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day by: - Supporting Native American representation in media, education, and all levels of government - Centering and amplifying Native voices - Prioritizing learning about Native American communities and histories from the teachings of Native Americans about themselves #NWJusticeProject #LegalHelp #WashingtonState #IndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousPeoplesDay2023 #IPD #Native #NativeAmerican
