Honoring Juneteenth: A Day of Reflection, Resistance, and Hope

This Juneteenth, we honor a defining moment in American history and reflect on its enduring meaning for all of us, especially those committed to justice, freedom, and equity.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, marks the 1865 emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States. It is a powerful reminder of how long justice can be delayed and how vital it is that we continue the struggle for equality in every generation.

Today is a day of listening, learning, and recommitting ourselves to the work ahead. Systemic racism and discriminatory policies continue to disproportionately impact the Black community. From Emmett Till to Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and countless others—we remember the lives lost and demand a better future.

Our Commitment

Emgage is committed to civic education, voter empowerment, and advancing policies that reflect the values of equity and dignity for all. As a community, we must stay informed, engaged, and united in the face of injustice.

While the road ahead is long, we know that change is possible—and it begins with each of us. Today, we celebrate freedom. We reflect on struggle. And we renew our commitment to building a just and inclusive future.

In solidarity,
Team Emgage
