Juneteenth, short for “June Nineteenth,” marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. A federal holiday since 2021, Juneteenth occurs on Friday, June 19, in 2026.

Brothers and Sisters, we are looking for donations of non perishable food, water, and Gatorade to be donated to our brothers and sisters on strike at UAW Local 2093. Donations can be dropped off at the hall and we will have them packed up and taken to the regional office. We are looking to have it taken Thursday morning. We've been through strikes and we understand how it can be. Let's show them as much support as we can!

Memorial Day is a great day to enjoy time with friends and family, but the holiday has a deeper meaning. We remember those who gave their lives for our freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom to worship, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition, freedom of the press and more. On this Memorial Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country and to their families.
