Very confused on how Juneteenth presents logistical issues that St. Patrick's Day does not.
Also, can we stop using DEI as a euphemism for Black and just be honest? Juneteenth is not a "diversity initiative" it's a holiday celebrating Black folks' freedom. Full stop.

Organizers say safety issues along with mounting resistance to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are making it harder to hold Juneteenth events.

This summary should be the epigraph of a book of US history.
The contract on violence in America upholds that, first and foremost, it is white men who have the unquestionable right to use violence.
And this violence is not to defend people, but to defend who and what they view as their property.

George Floyd should be alive today.
He should be raising his daughter, living his life.
5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags.
His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.”
Let’s stop failing her, and him.
Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
