Happy Pride Month, John!
Today our nation is celebrating Juneteenth, commemorating June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers carried the news of the Emancipation Proclamation to the last of the enslaved people in Galveston, Texas telling them that they had been freed from slavery.
I cannot imagine hearing that news and not knowing what to do, where to live, how to earn, or my family’s newfound rights under the law.
While today is a day to celebrate just how far we have come as a nation, it is also a reminder of how much further we still have left to go. Over the course of American history, Black Americans have persevered and helped curve the arc of our nation toward equity. From the Montgomery Bus Boycotts to the Black Lives Matter movement, Black Americans have been a driving force for civil and social justice in America In that spirit, the Delaware Democratic Party is committed to aiding and enacting that progress.
Will you join me in making a contribution to the party today? Contributing helps us elect Delaware Democrats who continue the legacy of progress for Black Americans and systemically lift the lives of all people to bring about equality. [[link removed]]
