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?
