We celebrate Juneteenth to honor Black liberation, survival, and cultural joy.

However, true freedom demands we recognize the ongoing struggle against mass incarceration and the exploitative prison labor allowed by the 13th Amendment. The work of abolition continues until all people are truly free.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to this past weekend's Block Party. With your help, we were able to raise $777 towards our efforts in aiding neighbors impacted by mass incarceration. Whether for assisting folks with rides to court, hosting free car clinics, or providing resources to transition out of incarceration; every penny counts! If you'd like to make a contribution, head to tinyurl.com/DonateAJRC and consider becoming a monthly recurring donor. Every dollar, even $5 monthly makes our work possible.
