Their names have echoed through our streets and headlines around the world
for weeks: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Nina Pop, Rayshard
Brooks, and the countless Black people whose lives have been stolen by law
enforcement and white supremacy.
Millions have already shown up offline and online in defense of Black
lives, to defund the police, invest in Black communities, and imagine a
new, just world. And we aren’t stopping now.
Today is Juneteenth. A day to honor Black freedom and Black resistance.
It’s a rare moment for all of us, across communities, to proclaim in one
voice: Black Lives Matter.
That’s why our partners at the Movement for Black Lives are organizing
hundreds of events at the White House, in our communities, and in our
homes to show our power.

On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas — two and a
half years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation — with news that the
war had ended, and Black communities were now free.
Every year since, Juneteenth (June 19th) has been a day that centers Black
people’s unique contribution to the struggle for justice in the United
States, and the painful reality that freedom for Black people has always
been hard-fought and much-delayed.
This Juneteenth is a rare moment for all communities to rise up and
proclaim in one voice that we won’t tolerate anything less than justice
for all Black people.
If we keep rising up, we will win.
We’re already seeing how much Black organizing and uprisings across the
country are changing what’s possible — unprecedented wins are stacking up
from Minneapolis to Los Angeles towards defunding the police and building
new visions of community safety, infrastructure, and recovery. More than
two-thirds of people in the U.S. agree that police violence is systemic.
We just HAVE to keep up the momentum. Will you join the Movement for Black
Lives TODAY to mobilize for Juneteenth weekend?
