Friend,

Last Thursday was Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, a federal holiday marking the day that over 250,000 Black Americans were finally freed in Texas by executive decree — over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Amid attacks on personal freedoms, DEI programs, and funding cuts to environmental justice efforts, LCV invites you to honor this pivotal day in history by attending a virtual panel conversation with climate organizers and Black leaders across the country. Panelists will discuss what freedom looks like and how we can work together to keep each other encouraged and politically active in our communities during this hostile political landscape. Join us to learn more about the racial justice challenges still being faced 160 years after Juneteenth, and actions you can take to help dismantle racism in your community.

Celebrate Juneteenth this year by listening in on this important discussion on June 25th from 5:30pm to 6:30pm ET. Sign up now!

When: Wednesday, June 25th from 5:30-6:30pm ET
Where: Virtual Zoom Event (link will be provided after you RSVP) 
Who: Climate Action, a program of LCV, featuring Campaign & Outreach Strategist at Alabama Forward Khadidah Stone, Chief Officer for Racial Justice and Equity at LCV Dr. Leslie Hinkson, and Teamsters President of Richmond Brain Peyton.

You won’t want to miss this! RSVP now. And don’t forget to forward this email to three friends who’d enjoy this webinar too!

We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you there,
