From powerful group discussions to deep reflections, our Statewide Meeting brought voices together from across CT to learn about the school-to-prison pipeline and shape the 2026 campaign. We’re building something big — and this is just the beginning. Join us in January!

Connecticut is on the traditional lands of the Golden Hill Paugussett, Quinnipiac, Nipmuc, Wagunk, Mohegan, Pequot, and Schaghticoke people. May we honor, learn from, & support the people & history of this land. May we commit to a conjoined fight for a just & equitable future.

@NLYouthVoices Today we celebrate jubilee, resilience, and the strength of the Black community. Let's honor our ancestors, amplify our voices, and rejoice in the progress we've made together. Wishing everyone a day filled with joy, love, and unity! 🎉✊🏾❤️ Happy #Juneteenth!

[CT Black and Brown Student Union (CTBBSU) @CTBBSU]

🧵Did you know? #Juneteenth marks the day General Granger announced the end of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Texas had resisted abolition since forming the Republic of Texas in 1836, but was ultimately defeated in the Civil War.

[CT Black and Brown Student Union (CTBBSU) @CTBBSU]

In 1979, Texas made #Juneteenth official, led by Al “Mr. Juneteenth” Edwards. Emancipation Park in Houston, bought for $900, honored the day. But before its federal recognition in 2021, economic shifts and capitalism dimmed its celebration, overshadowing its true significance.

[CT Black and Brown Student Union (CTBBSU) @CTBBSU]

Happy Juneteenth! 🎉 Today, we celebrate freedom, community, and love. Juneteenth is a time for parades, barbecues, prayer services, and educational events. Let's gather with family and loved ones to honor this day of freedom. ❤️💚🖤✊🏾
