Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that for many, freedom was brutally delayed, and that the fight for true equity continues. While the abolition of slavery marked a monumental shift, we recognize that the economic and social gaps created by centuries of systemic oppression persist today.

As DSF staff take this day off, we pause to honor the resilience of the Black community, celebrate Black joy, and reflect on our role in the ongoing fight for liberation.

⬇️ Here are a couple of ways you can honor and acknowledge Juneteenth today and every day:

- Make a conscious effort to buy from Black entrepreneurs, artists, and restaurants
- Share resources about Juneteenth and Black history with your network, workplace, or school.
- Offer your skills or labor to local organizations doing grassroots equity work.
- Donate to nonprofits focused on dismantling systemic racism and uplifting Black voices.
