Happy Juneteenth. It is a day where we celebrate the end of slavery, honor Black resilience and history, and serve as an ongoing reflection on the pursuit of racial equity and civil rights.

At its core, Independence Day is the “birthday” of the United States as an independent nation. The holiday represents the nation’s foundational ideals: liberty, equality, and the rejection of a monarchy. It remains a day to reflect on history, freedom, and the sacrifices made to establish the country.

We celebrate Labor Day to honor the social and economic contributions, achievements, and resilience of American workers. It serves as a tribute to the labor movement and the historical struggle for fair wages, safer environments, and reasonable work hours.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is celebrated to honor the original inhabitants of the Americas, recognizing their survival, resilience, and vast cultural contributions.
