Happy #Juneteenth! On this day in 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston Bay, Texas were finally informed of their freedom—two whole years after the Emancipation Proclamation was declared. Today, celebrations featuring food, festivals, parades, and art take place locally and nationally. We encourage our teams and communities to learn more about the holiday and participate in opportunities to honor the Black American community’s ongoing fight for freedom and progress. Fun Fact: When Juneteenth was officially recognized in 2021, it was the first new federal holiday enacted since #MartinLutherKing Jr. Day was adopted in 1983!
We're proud of another big win last night for Sensible Strumming for Best Broadcast Radio Single PSA at the Radio Mercury Awards. 40% of popular country songs in the United States mention alcohol, many of which encourage listeners to drink their problems away. So we created a country song encouraging people not to. SAFE Project (Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic), a non-profit, partnered with Ryan Whyte Maloney, a finalist on NBC’s The Voice, and his band to create the single “It Ain’t 5 O’Clock Somewhere,” confronting country music’s glorification of alcohol. #createwithpurpose

It’s #AANHPI Heritage Month! In May, we reflect on and celebrate the role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) have played throughout American history. This month we honor our AANHPI colleagues and the perspectives and contributions they bring to our work each day.
For National Asthma and Food Allergy Awareness Month, we teamed up with Elijah-Alavi Foundation Inc. to create HappyHalers—fun, functional, 3D-printable, snap-on asthma inhaler cases for kids. Why? Because getting kids to use their inhalers is just as important as the air they breathe. Free downloads are available at HappyHalers.com
