Happy Juneteenth! To quote John Albuquerque, "Let's make Juneteenth a commemorative, not of the horrific institution our country embraced, but rather as a showcase of the strength in the American spirit to recognize wrong and set about making it right ... Let us celebrate all that Juneteenth teaches us about our country's greatness in our use of the heart to hear and to learn and to work together for all that is good and just."

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that holds profound significance in American history and culture. Juneteenth marks the moment in 1865 when the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day is a vital reminder of the struggle for freedom and the resilience of those who endured unimaginable hardships. Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone. It is a call to acknowledge our past, celebrate progress, and recommit to the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality. Reflecting on this day reminds us of the importance of understanding our history to build a more inclusive and equitable future. At Evolve Marketing, we recognize the significance of Juneteenth and stand in solidarity with those who continue to fight against systemic inequalities. Together, let’s honor the past and work toward a society where freedom and justice are truly universal.

Today, EGA joins the many in observing Juneteenth. The National holiday commemorates the emancipation date of June 19, 1865, and recalls the systemic violence and economic theft of enslavement for four million humans in the United States. EGA honors the day to celebrate Black freedom, the long-term work of joy, and the multigenerational path to restoration and reparation. The legacy of repair lives in our global, national, and local work; and surfaces in our collective investment of a vocal, dynamic, nuanced, and healthy democracy as an enabling condition for a healthy environment. As environmental grantmakers, our members' work is tied to a tradition of resources in service of basic rights protection and against resource extraction, for people and planet. This Juneteenth, we ask you to consider the possibilities of resistance to the numbing effects of war, waste, and degradation. We invite you to examine how you fit into the narrative of the intergenerational struggle for truth, joy, and justice. We amplify with solidarity the ongoing discussion of reparations and celebrate Black life, lives, and livelihoods which are a compounding value to our shared work to meet the destruction of climate change with abundance and possibility.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that celebrates freedom and resilience. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Texas learned of their emancipation—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It's a reminder of the struggles and triumphs on the path toward equality and justice, and we honor the courage and perseverance of African American ancestors and celebrate their invaluable contributions to our society. Let's use Juneteenth as a time to reflect, educate ourselves, and amplify voices that promote positive change. Together, we can build an inclusive, diverse future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive in our workplaces and communities—that's The Attain Way.
