It matters to us

On Juneteenth (June 19th, 2020) we joined for a march of unity, solidarity, and love! It’s an occasion to show that people of all races and ethnicities can unite to raise up humanity and overthrow color supremacy— together.

Floyd and ongoing police misconduct unknown. But by marching together on Juneteenth in a spirit of love, we’re showing that we’re committed to continuing the work of those that fought before us for diversity in society. Asian, Latin, Black, and White are blood vessels of one body. One soul.
