On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed news of freedom reaching the enslaved people of Galveston, Texas. Let’s keep building on the work of the generations who came before us and making sure that the arc of the moral universe continues to bend towards justice.

I am committed to protecting and advancing the freedoms that we celebrate today by protecting voting rights for all Americans. #Juneteenth2024#FreedomtoVote
