Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. But Juneteenth is more than just a celebration – it's a reminder of the long road to racial equality and the ongoing fight for justice.

Let's honor the sacrifices of those who came before us and recommit ourselves to building a more just and equitable future. Here's how you can take action:
- Educate yourself and others about Black history and the ongoing fight for racial justice.
- Support Black-owned businesses and organizations working towards racial equality.
- Speak out against racism and discrimination whenever you see it.
- Demand equal opportunity and justice for all.

Together, we can create a future where celebrates not just the end of slavery, but the true liberation of Black people in America.

Today is the World Day Against Child Labor, a day that serves as a reminder of the millions of children forced to work under inhumane conditions. Let's take a moment to reflect on their hardships and stand together to demand change and end this injustice.

While the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) calls for all children to live free from exploitation, child labor is still an unfortunate reality. Although we would like to think that this is only limited to faraway lands or countries undergoing armed conflicts, some estimates suggest that there are approximately 500,000 child farmworkers in the United States.

Contact your elected representatives today and demand the strengthening of laws protecting children from exploitation!
