Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, and a reminder that freedom must be defended. As court decisions and redistricting efforts threaten Black political power, our votes are essential to protecting our rights and our communities. This Juneteenth, honor the legacy and vote.

Pride was shaped by the resistance of queer Black and Brown New Yorkers who wrote, organized, cared for one another, and demanded justice. At CVH, we carry that legacy forward by building tenant power and fighting for a New York where everyone can live with dignity and freedom.

Honoring Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s legacy means more than remembrance. It means continuing the work he demanded: making democracy real through economic justice. At Community Voices Heard, we’ll keep organizing for dignified housing and economic security for New Yorkers.
