Donating to support grassroots organizations is an important act of resilience on Juneteenth. There are widespread attempts to silence those who seek a better world. WCRJ is working hard to preserve the legacy of freedom and justice that Juneteenth represents.

The road ahead is steep, with so many urgent issues on the line this year, we need everyone to chip in. NOW is the time to double down on our commitment to Black liberation - there are only ten days until Juneteenth, give today!
