Today, we commemorate . On the 19th of June in 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to declare the end of the Civil War and the liberation of approximately 250,000 enslaved individuals in Texas. This momentous occasion occurred two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.To learn more about Juneteenth, you can visit the following link: www.history.com/news/what-is-juneteenth.

Last week, a few of our members visited St. Catherine's to see the ✨after✨transformation of one of their shared spaces. This transformation was the result of a grant we awarded the Aurora Safe Home Environment (SHE) last year. We also had the opportunity to meet a few of the moms and gift them baby monitors! The JLM's partnership with SHE has been so meaningful to the League over the last 6 years, and it's a privilege to continue to support this organization in new ways 💕

As we work together to drive local and national change around our collective impact areas, it is critical that we understand the relationship between issues and systemic and institutional inequality. The Junior League of Milwaukee is committed to making sustainable change through an equity-driven approach as we work within our community.
