[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress



Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate the official end of slavery in the
United States.

This week, the Biden Administration and Congress established Juneteenth as
an official federal holiday to acknowledge our history and honor the past
and ongoing struggle for Black liberation in our nation.

There is still so much work to be done in the fight for our collective
freedom. That is why Alexandria proudly supports H.R. 40, a Commission to
Study and Develop Reparation Proposals, and H.R. 1, the For the People
Act, to expand and protect the right to vote for all.

H.R. 40 would allow us to begin to research the best ways we can build a
path toward economic equity for the descendants of the generations of
Black people this country stole free labor from.

And H.R. 1 would expand and protect voting access by expanding practices
that have proven to increase voter turnout — including prohibiting
deceptive practices, interference with voter registration, voter
intimidation, and expanding automatic voter registration.

Alexandria believes that elected leaders have an obligation to do the most
they can to pass meaningful legislation that advances equity and justice
for all with the power people have entrusted to them. And that’s why she
won’t stop fighting to lift up all of our voices — to protect the right to
vote, to advance economic, social, environmental, and racial justice, and
to demand liberation for all.

Happy Juneteenth!

In solidarity,

Team AOC
