Saturday, June 19, 3-6 PM: Atlanta DSA Juneteenth Celebration

Juneteenth is Freedom Day in Atlanta

Nobody is free until everybody is free! Juneteenth is a celebration of Black heritage and freedom - and a great time to reflect on what our future looks like as a movement and a people.

 

Join Atlanta DSA, Black Voters Matter, and Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda for a day all about family, friends, food, and fun. Juneteenth is Freedom Day in Atlanta! Bring your friends and be ready to make new ones. If you know any people or organizations looking to sponsor, please contact [email protected]!

 

St. Philip A.M.E. Church
