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.
Happy Pride Month! The month of June is a time to honor the history of the LGBTQ+ movement and celebrate our vibrant community. What began as a small gathering in Denver over 50 years ago has transformed into one of the largest Pride celebrations in the country!  Amid ongoing injustices impacting marginalized communities, Pride remains a symbol of resistance, visibility, and the ongoing fight for equity and liberation for all. 🌈

Throughout the month, our city is filled with celebration, with parades, 5Ks, and so much more. Check out denverpride.org to see the full calendar of events and learn more about how you can get involved! 💚
