Today, we honor and celebrate Juneteenth, a significant milestone in American history—particularly Black American history—marking the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas in 1865. This day reminds us of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice.

Nine years ago today, a targeted attack on Pulse Nightclub in Orlando became the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history at that time, devastating LGBTQ+ and Latino communities. We honor those lost and injured by continuing to fight against hate and prejudice.
