Wishing you a meaningful Juneteenth!

For more than one-and-a-half centuries, the Juneteenth holiday has been sacred to many Black communities.

It marks the day in 1865 enslaved people in Galveston, Texas found out they had been freed — after the end of the Civil war, and two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

The AFL-CIO commemorates Juneteenth as a day to reflect on the end of slavery in the United States and to reaffirm its commitment to racial justice and equity within the labor movement. The labor movement acknowledges the ongoing economic disparities faced by Black Americans and the need to root out systemic racism in the workplace and society. The AFL-CIO also recognizes Juneteenth as a celebration of Black resilience and joy and a reminder of the ongoing fight for freedom and justice.

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

“Exploitation in Jersey City is the direct result of the political elite selling out the community and workers to billionaire developers like the Kushner family,” Michael Hellstrom, vice president and eastern regional manager of the Laborers’ International Union of North America said in a statement.
