Happy #Juneteenth! Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery and marks a crucial moment in the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equality. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued. Juneteenth also highlights the fundamental connection between emancipation and labor rights. While slavery legally ended, many newly freed individuals faced economic exploitation and continued to struggle for fair wages and decent working conditions. The labor movement has historically fought for these rights, aligning with the broader quest for economic justice and equality.

 Today's significance lies not only in its historical context as the end of slavery but also in its relevance to the continuing fight for equality, labor rights, and social justice.

A little bit of interesting history for you today June 19th, 1865, when Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas, confirming the war's end and ensuring the freedom of all enslaved individuals. Though the Emancipation Proclamation was a beacon of hope in 1863, it took over two years for its promises to be realised in Texas, the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery. As we commemorate this pivotal moment in history, let's reflect on the journey towards equality and justice. The resilience and courage of those freed on Juneteenth continue to inspire. Let's honour their legacy by fostering inclusivity and championing diversity in our workplaces and communities. Yet, as we celebrate progress, let us also acknowledge the road ahead. The pursuit of justice is ongoing, and we must commit ourselves to creating a future where opportunity and freedom are not just ideals but realities for all. This Juneteenth, take time to educate, to celebrate, and to act. Whether through community service, participating in events, or simply broadening our collective understanding—every effort counts in honouring this significant day in history. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality

"Although the Roman Empire described itself as being in favor of life and peace, the various Caesars and their enablers regularly dealt death and destruction in their wake...Fast forward millennia and that world bears a strange resemblance to the media distractions, #violence, and regressive policies that #MAGA and other #extremists are pushing forward in our times. Whether it’s Donald #Trump’s assertion that “I alone can fix your problems”; #SupremeCourt and state legislative attacks on #reproductiverights, #samesexmarriage, and #transyouth in the name of family values; cuts to #welfare, #healthcare, #workersrights and other life-sustaining programs to protect corporate interests; the militarizing of endless communities by allowing #guns (especially #AR15 rifles) to proliferate, while offering only thoughts and prayers to the victims of violence, the MAGA movement is promoting #culturewars and extremist policies under the banner of #Christiannationalism." #HeritageFoundation #Project2025 https://lnkd.in/eTQXyKfA
