Here’s a quick history lesson for you, John:
On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Texas finally got the news that President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom from enslavement and embraces a moment in history when the scales were tipped towards justice.
The California Democratic Party invites you to a virtual celebration of Juneteenth this Thursday, June 17 at 6 PM. Join us for a conversation focused on how the Black Lives Matter movement has shifted the Democratic Party and what the party can do to advance justice going forward.
We need your voice and participation as we continue the movement to confront racism and make fundamental changes to protect Black communities.
Thanks for all you do, and we hope to see you on Thursday!
California Democrats
