Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It’s a day of celebration. A day of reflection. And most of all—a reminder that freedom delayed is freedom denied.

But the fight for racial justice and equality in America didn’t end in 1865. And it didn’t end with voting rights, desegregation, or civil rights legislation either.

It continues right now—as MAGA extremists try to silence voters, rewrite history, and strip away hard-won rights in state after state.

That’s why the Protect Our Democracy Fund is committed to electing leaders who fight for every American’s freedom—not just in word, but in law.

Leaders who defend voting rights.

Leaders who oppose whitewashing history in our schools.

Leaders who stand for equality, not extremism.

On Juneteenth, we honor the struggle for justice—and recommit to continuing that fight.

Will you donate $15, $25, or whatever you can to support pro-democracy candidates who are pushing back against hate and authoritarianism?
