#Juneteenth isn’t just a date on the calendar — it’s a powerful echo of resilience reverberating through history. On this day in 1865, news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas, the farthest part of the Confederacy. Their joy marked the end of slavery in the United States. While Juneteenth celebrates hard-won freedom, it’s also a reminder of the long road to true equality. The legacy of slavery continues to shape our society, and the fight for racial justice is far from over. This Juneteenth, let’s honor the strength and perseverance of African Americans. Here are a few ways we can engage: 📚 Unearth the Past - Delve into the rich history of Juneteenth. Explore the stories of resilience, resistance, and the enduring spirit of Black communities. 💪🏼 Empower the Present - Support Black-owned businesses, celebrate Black art and culture, and amplify Black voices. 🔎 Embrace the Future - Educate ourselves and others about racial injustices. Advocate for policies that dismantle systemic barriers. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the progress made, but it’s also a call to action. Let’s commit to building a future where the promise of freedom rings true for all.

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day of freedom, resilience, and reflection. Let's remember the struggles and celebrate the progress of Black Americans, acknowledging the journey toward equality and justice. Together, we can build a future rooted in understanding, unity, and respect.

Black Lives Matter this month and EVERY Month. Our collective liberation, along with the liberation of our Mother Earth requires the dismantling of systems that uphold white supremacy and capitalist structures rooted in racism and anti-blackness. While Indigenous Peoples know our own experiences of state violence, we must not overlook Indigenous complicity in the perpetuation of anti-Blackness, and recognize white supremacy is at the root of police and state violence against Black lives. We empathize with the challenges that “cultural heritage months” pose to marginalized communities only during specific times of the year, that are performative and promote the bare minimum—lazy at best, and deeply harmful at worst. Supporting, uplifting, and standing in solidarity with our Black relatives is necessary to strengthen our ability to challenge oppressive systems together, and revolutionize our efforts for sovereignty and self-determination. We call on our relatives and allies to continue to reimagine what it means for our Black relatives to thrive and remind ourselves that Black lives can't matter unless ALL Black Lives Matter everywhere and ALL THE TIME. #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistoryMonth
