| Happy Juneteenth! 🎉
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Alaska Democratic Party's very own State Senator Elvi Gray-Jackson, the state legislature unanimously passed Senate Bill 22, designating Juneteenth as a paid state holiday in Alaska.
Juneteenth is a day to honor the resilience, courage, and numerous contributions of Black Americans in Alaska and throughout the country. By designating Juneteenth as a state holiday, we reaffirm our commitment to the Alaska values of freedom, equality, and justice that bring us together.
As we celebrate and reflect on the progress we've made, we must continue to look ahead at the persistent obstacles and challenges that stand in our way as we work to build a more equal and just future for ALL Alaskans.
That's why we're working to elect Democrats across Alaska who will champion policies that promote equity, justice, and opportunity so that every Alaska has the chance to thrive!
In solidarity,
Alaska Dems |
