Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, culture, and progress.

Despite just about every obstacle standing in their way, the generations that came before us built this country from the ground up. They taught us that progress is possible when we come together and make our voices heard — especially at the ballot box.

This Juneteenth, let's honor their fight by working to protect Black lives, voices, and votes. Stay informed, get involved, and make sure you are registered to vote with When We All Vote at WhenWeAllVote.org.
