Today we celebrate #Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day. On this day in 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the last slaves were freed. While we celebrate the end of slavery, we can't forget that racism is still engineered into our economy and politics.

Redlining. The War on Drugs. Broken Window policing. Arrest quotas. Health care inequality. Poisoned drinking water. These crises, along with many others, are remnants of a racist social order that is still very much in effect today.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, TX were freed - two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. #Juneteeth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and recognizes the ongoing work we must all do to achieve racial justice and equality. https://t.co/Ua78HWwOfd
Today marks the 135th anniversary of #Juneteenth. As millions raise their voices to protest racial injustice and police violence, this year’s celebration is an opportunity for Americans to proclaim in one voice that Black Lives Matter. The fight for justice cannot rest. (1/3)
