Today, RIPIN acknowledges Juneteenth, a significant day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. We honor the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality. Our commitment to racial justice goes beyond words. That's why our offices will be closed today in observance of this important holiday. And our work continues throughout the year. The RIPIN Racial Justice Steering Team actively works to ensure our business practices and interactions are conducted with inclusivity and equity in mind, from all-staff professional development opportunities to individual support. We are committed to putting our values into action, every single day. #RIPIN #Juneteenth #FreedomDay
