John,
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the occasion when the final group of enslaved African Americans in Texas were informed of their liberation — more than two years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
That two year delay is indicative of how the playing field is still not level for Black Americans even today.
I’m proud to be part of the Congressional Black Caucus to advance Black Excellence and put forward policies that address these inequities head on.
As the first African-American woman representing the Pacific Northwest in Congress, I am committed to advocating for policies that address these issues and build a nation that is more safe, more just and more secure for ALL Americans. Can I count on your support to keep up this work? → [[link removed]]If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.

We have a chance to take a big step forward in the fight for true equality but only if we work together to ensure that the promises of freedom and equality are fully realized for all Americans.
