Last week we joined our partners in New York to celebrate the official opening of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center. NPCA's CEO and President Theresa Pierno reflected on the gravity of this historic occasion: "The power of place can be felt walking through the Greenwich Village streets where people stood up and spoke out, paving the way for equality for all. "When you explore the new visitor center, you’re learning from and honoring those courageous people. Stonewall will continue to inspire for generations and we’re proud to work to help ensure our national parks include diverse, inclusive stories that welcome and represent the people that shaped our nation.” #Stonewall #LGBTHistory #PrideMonth #NationalParks #ProtectOurParks #FullAmericanStory

The NJBPU SDDC Supplier Diversity Development Council celebrates Juneteenth. Officially made a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States after the last remaining slaves in Texas learned of their freedom. Freedom, equity, and diversity go hand in hand and Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom has not always been a reality for all. As the work for equity continues, it’s important to remember the words of Opal Lee that “none of us are free until we are all free.” At the SDDC, we are committed to affirming equity and inclusion as central to our mission. We believe a diverse supplier base strengthens the utility industry and drives innovation. Our initiatives aim to support and empower diverse businesses, ensuring that opportunities are accessible to all. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we reaffirm our dedication to creating a more inclusive and equitable future. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationDay #NJBPU #SupplierDiversity #Equity #Inclusion
