On Friday, we celebrate Juneteenth — the official end of slavery in this country. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Juneteenth celebrates Black joy, resilience, strength, and hope. It recognizes the contributions that Black Americans have made to the United States, and it acknowledges that their labor and voices have been silenced for much of our history.

Juneteenth is an opportunity for all of us to recommit to fighting for freedom, racial justice, and equal opportunity for all.

❤️💚🖤💛 ❤️🤍💙

As The Committee for the First Amendment puts it: “Silence is complicity, and solidarity is our only defense.”

This evening, people across the country will gather for Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment — a night of music, solidarity, and action in defense of free speech, protest, assembly, press, and religion.
