"#Juneteenth has always been more than a holiday. The day stands as a testament to and celebration of the unyielding spirit of a people."
"Not a day off:"
As faith leaders mark Juneteenth, "they are reflecting on that history while also looking ahead to work they say remains to improve an almost 250-year-old America."
Beyond immediate steps to secure peace, a broader reckoning is needed to confront the lessons of this disastrous war. ⬇️
“The Trump admin. needs to end its senseless war-first foreign policy. True peace is only possible when we put human dignity first + invest in the hard work of real diplomacy.”

If spending alone guaranteed security, America would be the safest nation on earth. But the Trump administration has proven that the military industrial complex is not creating real security. Instead of giving out blank checks to defense contractors, we must fund programs that support all Americans.
