Happy Juneteenth Freedom Day! Honoring Juneteenth is crucial because it commemorates the hard-won freedom of enslaved African Americans, reminding us of the ongoing fight for equality and justice that must be upheld for all. Diversity and inclusion are not just ideals; they are essential for advancing the rights and dignity of every individual, which lies at the heart of what Juneteenth represents. By embracing diversity, we learn from each other, grow in empathy, and ensure that everyone has a say in building a fairer and more inclusive society. Juneteenth resonates deeply with the Jewish community, drawing parallels to our own story of liberation from slavery and emphasizing the path from oppression to freedom. Our shared values such as Herut (Freedom), Tzedek (Justice), Yizkor (Remembrance), Kehillah (Community), and Tikvah (Hope) align closely with the themes celebrated on Juneteenth. Our history of fighting for justice, including marching alongside Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, underscores our commitment to equality and social justice. As we commemorate this day, I wanted to take the time to reflect that although we are different, we are also aligned in our commitment to creating a fair and inclusive society for all. #JuneteenthFreedom #JusticeForAll #JewishValues #UnityInJustice #EqualityNow #DiversityAndInclusion Natalie Loeb David B.

Happy Juneteenth! Today, we honor Juneteenth, a significant day in American history. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of slavery, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation issued two years earlier. This day symbolizes freedom and the ongoing journey towards equality. Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone but a celebration of African American culture, resilience, and contributions to society. It’s a time to reflect on our progress and the work that still needs to be done to achieve true equality. Juneteenth should be more widely celebrated because it reminds us of our collective history and the importance of freedom and justice for all. It’s a day to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and take actionable steps towards creating an inclusive future. I encourage everyone to talk to their leadership about recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth in the workplace. Together, we can foster a culture of awareness, respect, and unity.

You think??? What do you suppose comes next? Took over 100 years to recover after the attempted genocide of our people. You Brits fucked up by integrating us into your society. Then discriminating against us… we now surround you. And we are tired of your mistreatment. Watch your back in the coming weeks. BIA you got some heavy lifting to do… best get on with it! Advocacy for Native American rights remains crucial in today's society, addressing issues like sovereignty, self-determination, and the protection of sacred sites. It's about ensuring respect, recognition, and reconciliation for Indigenous cultures and histories. Your passion and efforts, Ron, contribute significantly to these causes, highlighting the importance of integrity and justice in advocacy work.
