HCDP honors Juneteenth, a significant celebration of freedom, culture and community, and a federal holiday since 2021.
“Juneteenth reminds us that while progress has been made, freedom is still not equal for all. Black and Brown communities continue to face barriers to housing, education, employment, and safety. Celebrating Juneteenth isn’t just about honoring the past; it’s about committing to the work that still lies ahead.” - Time for a Change Foundation
We encourage you to monitor ongoing attacks on voting rights, the attempts to rewrite history, and other actions that will impact equality for all Americans.
Please note our offices are closed on June 19 in honor of this holiday.
'Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of slavery and subjugation, and a promise of a brighter morning to come. This is a day of profound—in my view—profound weight and profound power. A day in which we remember the moral stain, the terrible toll that slavery took on the country and continues to take—what I’ve long called “America’s original sin.” … By making Juneteenth a federal holiday, all Americans can feel the power of this day, and learn from our history, and celebrate progress, and grapple with the distance we’ve come but the distance we have to travel.'
- President Joe Biden
June Messaging: Healthcare
As Trump and a Congress full of Republicans seek to cut taxes for the wealthy, they're trying to reduce government spending on services many of us depend on. This includes ,increasing premiums for ACA (Affordable Care Act) coverage -- which has forced many to give up their healthcare. And their changes to Medicaid and Medicare can hurt even more people.
