  • Carry giant fake birthday gifts labeled “Another Indictment,” “More Lawsuits,” “Bankruptcy.”

June 19 – Thursday – Juneteenth

• Focus: Black Liberation and Economic Justice
  • Description: Mark Juneteenth by honoring the end of slavery and the ongoing fight for Black freedom. Center the struggle for true liberation, justice, and dignity. Lift up demands for reparations, land rights, economic justice, and the full realization of freedom for all Black Americans.
