Today, on Juneteenth, we honor a defining moment in our nation’s history — the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, that message of freedom finally arrived.

Juneteenth is a day of celebration, but also a reminder: justice delayed is justice denied. And while we commemorate freedom, we must also recommit ourselves to the fight for racial equity and justice that continues to this day.

As Colorado’s Secretary of State, and now as a candidate for Attorney General, I’ve always believed that government must be a force for fairness, dignity, and equal rights. That means protecting voting access, defending civil rights, holding systems accountable, and standing up to those who would roll back progress.

On this day of remembrance and reflection, I’m holding close the stories, the sacrifices, and the strength of generations who fought for freedom — and I’m renewing my commitment to keep fighting for justice, every single day.

Thank you,

Jena Griswold
