AFSCME Texas Chapter 12 recognizes the resilience of those who survived unimaginable conditions and emphasize that freedom and fair work are intertwined. Juneteenth celebrates the freedom for Black workers to enjoy the fruits of their labor, while acknowledging persistent economic disparities. Only together can we move forward.

This Juneteenth, we celebrate the resilience and leadership of black workers who’ve paved the way for freedom and equal opportunities for all. Let us honor them by recommitting ourselves to the fight for safe working conditions and fair pay for working people.
