While we celebrate the progress we've made, we must also acknowledge the work that remains to achieve true equality and justice for all. Let’s honor this day by: -Educating ourselves and others about the history and significance of Juneteenth. -Supporting Black-owned businesses and organizations. -Advocating for policies that promote racial equity. -Engaging in meaningful conversations about race and justice in our communities and workplaces.
