Today, on June 19, we commemorate the freeing of the last slaves in the United States — more than two years after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Today, we celebrate Black resilience and Black joy, and acknowledge our shared journey towards liberation.
Our work isn’t over. In this country, Black and Brown folx still face ongoing, systemic oppression, disenfranchisement, and racism.
Recently, lawmakers in states across the nation — from Texas to Georgia — have attacked the sacred right to vote, seeking a return to the policies of Jim Crow.
The For the People Act would expand automatic and same-day voter registration and voting access — including vote-by-mail and early voting, reinstate critical voter protections, and fight back against efforts to drown out the voices of everyday people. These policies are critical to building a more just and equitable country, for everyone. They are a continuation of the struggle for civil rights that has gone on since the very earliest days of our nation.
Today, we celebrate and we recommit ourselves to the work ahead. Add your name now in support of the For the People Act and send a message that we will not stop working to lift our collective voices — both on the streets and at the polls.
In solidarity always,
Ayanna
