Saturday, June 19th marks Juneteenth—a day to acknowledge + celebrate the freedom of enslaved people in America. Our offices are closed on Friday, June 18th in recognition of this important day and to allow for reflection, education, and understanding. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities, and religions are joining together to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. We invite you to learn more about Juneteenth and to explore these resources so that together, we can make significant and lasting changes to advocate for inclusiveness, empowerment, and dignity for all.
