June 18th commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of June and nineteenth, referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.
The holiday is considered the "longest-running African-American holiday" and has been called "America's second Independence Day." Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, when the 117th U.S. Congress enacted and President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.

From the office of Congresswoman Julia Brownley, " Today marks 14 years since DACA first opened doors and opportunities for hundreds of thousands of young people who know America as their home.
For 14 years, DACA recipients have strengthened our communities, contributed to our economy, powered our workforce, started businesses, and raised families. They have enriched our nation in countless ways while living with uncertainty about their future.
DACA recipients have done everything asked of them and more. They came forward, passed background checks, and placed their trust in a promise that they could build their lives in the country they love. Fourteen years later, they are still waiting for Congress to act.
Their futures should not be defined by uncertainty or political gridlock. They deserve the stability, security, and opportunity that come with permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship.
Today, we celebrate the contributions of DACA recipients and recommit ourselves to building an immigration system that reflects our values, respects the dignity of immigrants, and recognizes that America is stronger because of them.
AAUW Thousand Oaks stands in support of DACA recipients!

AAUW Thousand Oaks had the honor of attending the Conejo Valley High School graduation ceremony. It was a truly special afternoon filled with many milestones! Below you will see the graduates standing that are first in their family to complete high school. AAUW Thousand Oaks, through the generousity of its members, was able to provide a scholarship to a graduate who will continue her education Moorpark College, majoring in Graphic Arts. As CVHS Principal Brian Mercer said in his remarks to the students, and I am paraphrasing, "...a group of innovators that had to learn to handle different challenges. Use your unique perspective to upset the status quo..."
