Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Today Black folx are still fighting for freedom: economic freedom, criminal justice freedom, housing freedom, education freedom. Systemic racism is as alive as ever specifically when dealing with Black businesses, economics, education housing,criminal justice.
One way to honor Juneteenth is to contribute your Paid Time Off wages from the Juneteenth holiday to King County Equity Now or another Black-led organization as a form of economic justice and racial justice. Please consider contributing some meaningful amount to an organization fighting for racial justice.
