Dear John,

On Juneteenth, while we celebrate the progress made in the fight for freedom, dignity, and justice for Black Americans since Emancipation Day- we also recognize that this fight is far from over.

Here at Ruth’s List, we are proud to stand with pro-choice Black women, who are leading with courage, vision, and integrity at every level of government across the state.

We believe that creating a more just and equitable future begins with leadership that truly reflects the diversity of our communities. That’s why we are committed to recruiting, training, and electing women from all backgrounds—especially those who authentically represent the people they serve.

Our work doesn’t stop here. We're proud to continue advancing Black women in leadership for years to come—and we’re grateful to have you by our side.

We wish you a meaningful day of celebration, and are thankful for your ongoing support.
