Juneteenth is a distinctly African American holiday commemorating the final death blow against the system of slavery in the United States. Black freedom was won through persistent struggle against the slave masters to the very end. Freedom had to be seized from the clutches of the defeated slaveocracy by Black people acting as agents of their own liberation. 

Historically, the Black struggle for equality and dignity has deep connections to the struggles of oppressed people across the world fighting colonialism and U.S. imperialism, including the Palestinian freedom struggle. For over 76 years, Palestinians courageously resist the occupation of their land and fight to end a system of racist apartheid and Zionist colonial brutality supported by the U.S. ruling class.

In honor of Black-Palestinian solidarity, let’s march together in this year’s Juneteenth parade to demand a permanent ceasefire to end the U.S. backed genocide in Gaza. We demand the U.S. government fully fund Black working class communities, not wage endless wars using our tax dollars! U.S. out of the Middle East!
