On June 19, 1865, news of freedom reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas — a moment now recognized as Juneteenth.
Today, Juneteenth is a reflection on resilience and the ongoing work of equity. We recognize that access and voice are deeply connected and that historically underrepresented communities must be included in decisions that affect their daily lives.
Guided by our Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion principles, we work to identify barriers to participation, support culturally responsive outreach, and create space for more voices to be heard. Because meaningful engagement starts with making space for every community to participate, be represented, and help shape the future.
