Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the second Independence Day achieved in the United States. It is a day in which we honor the tireless efforts of abolitionists and activists who made it their mission to deliver the promise of freedom to all Americans. It is also a reminder that while our predecessors have made great progress, there is still much to be done to reach full liberation for historically marginalized peoples in this country. Here are some ways to honor Juneteenth: 🔸Learn more about the history and significance of Juneteenth 🔸Ensure that you are registered to vote and take a pledge to vote in the next election. 🔸Attend a local celebration 🔸Support Black-owned businesses 🔸Donate to and support organizations focused on civic engagement Remember, while Juneteenth is an important day in our history, it is more than just a moment: it is an everyday celebration. Let’s make it count! #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #DemocracyPrep

🌟 Honored and Humbled 🌟 Tonight, I had the incredible honor of speaking at the historic Apollo Theatre in Harlem, a stage that has seen legends, change-makers, and dreamers. As a Black male social worker who has strived to achieve many firsts in my life, this moment stands out as a powerful reminder of the impact we can make. Standing before the inspiring Class of 2024 at Democracy Prep Public Schools - Harlem High School, I was filled with immense pride and hope. We celebrated their achievements and looked forward to the bright futures they will undoubtedly create. My journey has always been about more than personal milestones; it's about inspiring, educating, and building strong foundations for Black men and boys. Together, we can forge paths of success and empowerment, creating a legacy of resilience and excellence. To all the young scholars: Keep pushing boundaries, breaking barriers, and chasing your dreams. Your potential is limitless, and your journey is just beginning. Here's to celebrating our shared victories and to many more firsts in the future! 🌍✊🏾 #ApolloTheatre #BlackExcellence #SocialWork #Inspiration #DemocracyPrepHarlem #ClassOf2024 #CommunityEmpowerment #BuildingTheFuture #DreamBig

36 scholars took a trip to Riobamba, Ecuador with Partners for Andean Community Health (PACH) as part of our Global Citizens Program! They rode horses in Cotopaxi National Park, rafted on the Pastaza River, and assisted in providing medical care to 650 individuals in six communities. The knowledge and skills our scholars attain through these experiences ensures they are prepared to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world and prepares them to embrace the challenges and opportunities of our globalized society. That is the power of our Global Citizens Program!
