On June 19, 1865, nearly two years after President Abraham Lincoln emancipated enslaved Africans in America, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, with news of freedom. More than 250,000 African Americans embraced freedom by executive decree in what became known as Juneteenth or Freedom Day. With the principles of self-determination, citizenship, and democracy magnifying their hopes and dreams, those Texans held fast to the promise of true liberty for all. Today, Juneteenth celebrates African American resilience and achievement, while aiding in the preservation of those historical narratives that promoted racial and personal advancement since Freedom Day. What are some respectful ways to honor Juneteenth? Here are a few ideas MPI-CAC recommends: 1. Attend a Juneteenth celebration 2. Support black-owned businesses 3. Donate to Black-led nonprofits and community organizations #Juneteenth

Honoring Juneteenth - A Day of Reflection and Renewed Commitment Today, we commemorate an important milestone in American history - Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, the news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached the farthest corners of the nation, marking the end of slavery in the United States. While it was another step towards freedom, we know the journey was long and the fight against racism is still not over. Juneteenth reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit and the progress that can be achieved through perseverance and solidarity. At Nissa Consulting, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting racial equity and inclusion within the nonprofit sector and beyond. We vow to amplify voices that have been silenced, create more opportunities, and work towards dismantling systemic barriers. On this day, we reflect on how far we've come but also acknowledge how much further we must go. Let Juneteenth fuel us with renewed determination to build a more just, equal and compassionate society for all. We invite nonprofits and community leaders to share how you are honoring Juneteenth and what actions you are taking to advance racial justice. Together, we can spark meaningful change. #Juneteenth #RacialEquity #RacialJustice #DEI #SocialImpact

From Supreme Court cases to state-level legislation, the past year has brought unprecedented attacks on critical race theory, diversity, equity and inclusion, school curricula and the books available to the general public, as well as affirmative action. Our Black relatives in particular have borne the brunt of conservative “culture wars,” as they’ve been dubbed, which have left community leaders reeling and wondering how to launch not just a defensive strategy, but also a proactive one that asserts the possibilities for justice that lie through the strategies being dismantled. Our CHANGE Philanthropy partner, @ABFE, recently hosted their annual Harambee conference, which consisted of curated programming speaking to over 800 philanthropists on what they can do to meet the needs of this moment. “We must not be deterred or paralyzed in fear or confusion. Instead, we must stay focused on the goal of increasing resources to Black communities to build political and economic power; our communities are depending on us.” —Susan Taylor Batten, President and CEO of ABFE Read Inside Philanthropy’s article, “Three Ways Philanthropy Can Respond to Attacks on Affirmative Action, According to Black Leaders” to learn more ?? https://lnkd.in/eWa87dcK #AffirmativeAction #DiversityAndInclusion #DEI #AfricanAmerican #NativeAmerican #Philanthropy #Nonprofit #Equity #Inclusion
