Today is Juneteenth, a day to remember and celebrate the 1865 proclamation of freedom for enslaved people in Texas, the last state in the Confederacy to uphold institutional slavery. This day not only marks the end of slavery but also honors the Black community's profound contributions to creating a fairer, more equal society for all. While the work and achievements of the Black community extend beyond a single day, Juneteenth is a pivotal moment to reflect on and learn from. In our mission to end domestic violence and create a national ecosystem of holistic support and policies, we stand in solidarity with the fight for racial equity and justice. Join us in honoring Juneteenth by learning more about this historic day and supporting our ongoing efforts to amplify survivors' voices, advocate for systemic change, and ultimately end domestic violence in our lifetime. #Juneteenth #SurvivorJusticeAction #EndDVNow

"While Survivor Justice Action is relieved at today’s ruling on Mifepristone, we need policymakers to enact laws that advance the rights of survivors and increase access to essential options for safety. This includes access to reproductive healthcare for all survivors, including reproductive healthcare for all survivors. SJA calls on Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. We will hold those accountable who are trying to roll back rights and protections of domestic violence survivors, and we demand systems change to truly see an end to domestic violence.” – Ruth M. Glenn, President of Survivor Justice Action #Mifepristone #DVAwareness #EndDVNow
