REI Health Specialist Arie Hayre-Somuah will be going around to staff and clients throughout the month to get reflections in person as well.
In 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives joined the Senate in passing a bill to declare Juneteenth a federal holiday. We celebrate this historic achievement even as we acknowledge the long road ahead toward true liberation.
“The legal term for reparations is restitution, and it means asking 'What will it take to acknowledge and end the harm?' Let's deal with it on its face. It’s time for us to be a just nation if we’re going to be a nation at all.” - Rev. S. Todd Yeary
On June 16 from 12-1 p.m., we'll explore legislative tie-ins to Juneteenth and our work.
As part of our agency commemoration, we'll provide boxed lunches for staff at 12:30 p.m. Our friends at Class Act Catering will prepare Grilled Capon Chicken Breast, Macaroni and Cheese, Caesar Salad, Brown Sugar Green Beans, Chocolate Chip Cookies + Vegan Meals including Eggplant Tower and Chef's Choice Sides.
Make a dish or two this month from Epicurious' recipe list for Juneteenth. Share your dish!
