Today we mark Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of slaves and African Descendants of Slaves (ADOS) in the United States. As a political organization, we are committed to fostering inclusion, fighting structural racism, and supporting candidates and legislation that promise to advance the cause of racial equality.
This weekend is also the final chance to vote early in the Democratic primary, which is on Tuesday June 23rd. Please click here to find your early voting site.
