A day to activate.

 
Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery on June 19th, 1865. However, true freedom for Black Americans is still long overdue. There is much work to be done. Here are some ways that you can learn more about Juneteenth and support community efforts toward liberation.

Support Police Accountability in Washington

Learn about the work the ACLU of Washington and community members are doing to end police violence in our state. 

Demand that Congress Pass H.R. 40 Now

We have the power to make reparations for slavery real with H.R. 40, a bill that would set up a commission to examine the institution of slavery and its impact and make recommendations for reparations to Congress. Momentum is building, and the time to act is now. Send a message to your members of Congress urging them to support H.R. 40. Read about and watch a recording of a 2021 community event held in Seattle on H.R. 40 and reparations. You can also check the ACLU's Reparations page to find upcoming events and information on H.R. 40.
