I say this semi-cynically: celebrate #Juneteenth today by giving Black people money. Ways to give Black people money:
1. Directly (PayPal, ko-fi, etc.)
2. Buy something from an online or in-person shop.
3. Buy an artistic creation (books, visual art, songs) that pays royalties. Buy indie if you can.
4. Back a crowdfunding campaign AND promote it.
If you see someone boosting Black people's asks for money, boost them as well.
Tell all your friends about #GiveBlackPeopleMoneyForJuneteenth
good afternoon and happy Juneteenth!
if youβre a whitey itβs a great idea to show your support by sending some Black folks some cash. We need it. Many are posting mutual aid requests but struggle to meet their goals for months or years. Thereβs also threads of them. edit: linked thread in post.
If you have a disposable income or even a few dollars to spare I highly recommend to donate to the fundraisers, buy the art/wishlist items/etc. of those most marginalized and in need rather than large charities and corporations.
Black people do not have generational wealth because of centuries of slavery. Asking for money is not greedy and giving it to us is not unnecessary. Say that again til you understand.

When the mainstream media says something like "Trump is reaching out to Black voters" I don't know how the majority of their audience takes it since they're not a news junkie like me since they don't give it context like:
1) his Trump bible leaves out the amendment that freed the slaves
2) Trump has endorsed 12 out of the 14 senators that voted against #Juneteenth

Segregation carried on thru 1960's/70s.
Stop and frisk still targets black men . White folk still want us behind bars. My brother got 6 month jail time fo resisting police brutality last year he did nothing wrong . He just argued coz the police stopped him driving for nothing. They just laid that shit on his ass and got banged up fo being black. #juneteenth #blacklivesmatter

6 books that explain the history and meaning of Juneteenth
Juneteenth is part of a rich heritage of African American emancipation and freedom celebrations.The Conversation
End legal slavery in the US.
βAnd though members of Congress denounce imported goods made with prison labor in places like Chinaβs Xinjiang province, the offices of many government agencies in Washington and elsewhere are stocked with furniture and supplies made by prisoners in this country.β
βLabor that people have no meaningful right to refuse and that is enforced under conditions of total control is, unquestionably, slavery.β
Juneteenth is a federal holiday.
"But in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas; Republicans have passed laws to prevent teachers from teaching kids why."

So, Juneteenth is today & I would be super excited about barbecuing, tasting new foods & drinking delicious (non-alcoholic) beverages. However, I must go to work later tonight (my boss gave me Sunday off instead), so I must skip most of the festivities. Although this holiday commemorates the liberation of my African ancestors on American soil, it is also a time of solemn reflection on the struggle involved in achieving freedom (which wasβ¦

Hey y'all! We're a coupla weeks into June and Biden got his white hand kissed by Billy Porter at a #Juneteenth celebration for some reason. Weird how the federal recognition of a holiday with Black self-actualizing origins gets us to a moment like that but I think it truly calls for another Juneteenth reparations thread!
Procedure: Black ppl, post your cashapp, gofundmes, ko-fis, etc Others--especially if you're getting Juneteenth off at your work--pls boost, and donate if you have the means!
Here is the first #Juneteenth #reparations #MutualAid thread. Lots of folk in these threads have $$ needs that are still unmet and there is also a post with Sudanese mutual aid links.

*Please boost this and the og threadposts as well! I want this place smothered and covered with opportunities to support Black people.*

Hey y'all! so last year on #Juneteenth I started a lil #reparations thread. Some racist assholes took issue with that... So this year I'll be making multiple threads throughout the month! It's now June where I am so I'm eager to get started.Black Twitter
I'd like to see the fediverse celebrate this year's #juneteenth by lifting up Black voices, and making Black people feel more welcome here.
To people who feel really strongly about quote boosts, putting content warnings on people's lived experience, and denying all the evidence of racism being prevalent here, maybe take a break for just one day.
Teaching about slavery in schools and doing it well isnβt just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make #Juneteenth about so much more than the end of slavery.
Todayβs holiday offers abundant opportunities to teach about what it means to fight for freedom and maintain a sense of self-determination in the face of oppression.

Juneteenth offers new ways to teach about slavery, Black perseverance and American history
Many students say they arenβt learning much about slavery beyond its harsh conditions. A historian explores how Juneteenth offers opportunities to change that reality.The Conversation
Tombstones that used 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' restored a sense of dignity to people who had been denied it in life.
