Folks –
 

Juneteenth is about the freedom of a people. On June 19th, 1865, all those enslaved in America were finally made free.

 

Every year since, it is celebrated by Black Americans as the day their freedom was finally made official. Which is exactly why Donald Trump tried to make it about him.

 

The people of Michigan and America deserve so much better!

 

As a dog-whistle to the racist portion of his dwindling base, Trump planned a campaign rally for June 19th in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where 99 years ago this month, Black residents and businesses were systematically targeted and attacked in the worst incident of racial violence in American history.

 

Trump’s rally was swiftly called out for what it was – a clear demonstration of hate meant to hurt a race of people and send a message to extremists that Trump is still their champion. In response to national pressure, the Trump campaign moved the rally – by one day. 

 

One day doesn’t make a bit of difference in the face of 400 years worth of genocide and oppression. The American people have had enough, and we’re not backing down – EVER. 
 

Thousands of our supporters in Michigan and across the country who are sick of the hate, tired of the division, and ready to move America forward – equally – for all us, are stepping up like never before, and together, we're taking the fight to Trump and taking back our future.

The world called out his Tulsa rally for the act of desperation and division that it is and that defines Donald Trump. But the demonstration of hate meant to fire up his extremist base only served to unite Americans around a holiday that was previously only celebrated by those it freed.

 

Now, Juneteenth will be honored by even more of our fellow citizens for the sacred date it is and serve to remind us all that America will rise above and someday reach that mountain top so many could only dream about before.

 

Donald Trump's blatant act of bigotry backfired, and now we’re going on offense more united than ever to take back the White House and elect Michigan Democrats up and down the ballot! Are you with us?
 

Fighting Forward,

Team MDP
