Monday is Juneteenth. From all of us at Equality NC, we wish you a happy and liberatory Juneteenth!
We've compiled a list of local Juneteenth events all around the state, which we encourage you to check out and attend. Feel free to email us at nate@equalitync.org and let us know if there are events in your area that you'd like us to add.
In whichever way you choose to acknowledge Juneteenth, we hope you'll consider the ways that you are showing up for this fight for our communities -- and for the Black people in your life. There is still so much work to do.
