Happy Juneteenth! Today, we commemorate a pivotal moment in American history—the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in Texas were finally informed of their freedom. This day represents not only the end of a dark chapter but also the beginning of a new journey toward equality. Juneteenth is more than just a historical milestone; it's a call to action. It's a day to acknowledge the injustices of the past, celebrate the contributions and culture of the Black community, and commit to creating a more just and inclusive future. At King Soopers, we are dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion within our workplace and beyond. Today, we celebrate the progress we've made and recognize the work that still needs to be done. Let’s use this day to educate ourselves, support Black-owned businesses, and advocate for policies that promote equality. Together, we can make a difference. #Juneteenth2024 #EquityAndInclusion #CelebrateDiversity

In honoring and celebrating #Juneteenth, we recognize that there is more to be done to continue amplifying Black voices and fighting for a more equitable future. In the face of the recent DEI backlash and lawsuits against organizations like Fearless Fund, we believe that organizations must come together and define strategies for pushing back and advancing the work we know is critically important to closing the racial wealth gap. At Halcyon, we are more committed than ever to diversity, equity, and inclusion and creating an environment where those with ambition get access to the resources they need.
