Al Gore Instagram – As we commemorate Juneteenth today, please remember that we cannot have climate justice without racial justice. We cannot have equality when our Black and Brown communities are suffering at the frontlines of ecological devastation and the climate crisis.

Today, we’re celebrating Juneteenth, honoring Black freedom, resistance, and liberation. On June 19, 1865, Union general Gordon Granger arrived in Texas to inform enslaved black people about their freedom – two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. ⠀
⠀
Juneteenth is a day of celebration, education, and community for Black people in America – and this year, that includes the fight against systemic and environmental racism, and police brutality. ⠀
⠀
We encourage you to organize and support the ongoing fight for racial justice in America in whatever ways you are able. #BlackLivesMatter #Juneteenth | Posted on 19/Jun/2020 23:20:25
