Dear John,
Juneteenth (June 19th) is a day that honors Black freedom and Black resistance, and centers Black people’s unique contribution to the struggle for justice in the U.S. This Juneteenth is a rare moment for our communities to proclaim in one voice that Black Lives Matter, and that we won’t tolerate anything less than justice for all our people.
Hundreds of thousands of people, from small towns to big cities, are taking to the streets and loudly proclaiming that #BlackLivesMatter and continuing the momentum for change. We're holding elected officials accountable and demanding they defund the police and reinvestment in housing assistance, public health, and education.
As DC Jobs with Justice we are supporting the efforts of Movement for Black Lives in their national 3 day mobilization starting on Friday. We invite you to join us and support the mobilization.
