Juneteenth commemorates the delayed but undeniable arrival of freedom. Freedom that Black people were owed long before it was ever granted. It is a day that reminds us of what has been stolen, what has been survived, and what we are still building toward.
We celebrate Juneteenth by honoring environmental leaders in the Black community, and we honor what it represents by grounding our campaigns in Environmental Justice principles and following the leadership of frontline communities of color.
