So proud to volunteer for Sweet Potato Comfort Pie’s grand Juneteenth play today - Kumbayah! Written by our own LWV member Rose McGee 🧡💜

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers announced to enslaved persons in Texas that the US Civil War had ended and that they had been freed from bo***ge by the Emancipation Proclamation (2 years prior).

However, the fight for Black liberation was not resolved with the end of slavery and the close of the US Civil War. Today, we continue to fight and work towards justice and equality for all.

On Election Day, there can be as many as 30,000 election judges temporarily employed at polling places across Minnesota. You too can be an election judge—many towns and cities are always looking for qualified applicants. To apply, check out MNVOTES.GOV for specific instructions based on where you live.
