Hi Fellow Democrats!

Today is Juneteenth and marks 159 years since the end of slavery in the United States, when the last enslaved people in Galveston Bay, Texas were told by Union Soldiers they were free, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.

Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, is a day of hope and inspiration filled with celebrations of freedom and Black culture.

Join us, this evening at a Juneteenth Community Moment, and let’s reaffirm our commitment to an equitable community.

Tonight at 6:30pm in Treganza Heritage Park!

3200 Main St

Lemon Grove, CA 91945

Happy Juneteenth!

In solidarity,

Spring Valley Lemon Grove Democratic Club

Additionally, we’d like to thank Mayor of Lemon Grove, Racquel Vasquez for her hard work and commitment to recognizing this day. She was a champion when she fought to have Juneteenth recognized by San Diego County, she was a champion when she brought forward the Juneteenth holiday in the City of Lemon Grove, and she is a champion today, as the Juneteenth flag is flying high above the Lemon Grove City Hall!

There is still an Ongoing Migrant Crisis

The current migrant crisis at our San Diego/Mexico Border is bleak and dire. Our San Diego County Board of Supervisors have allocated funds to address this crisis, but money is about to run out.

Congress must provide Federal Relief to help us address this problem. Tell your representatives to provide relief by providing the basic needs for these refugees to survive and to fully fund the ongoing efforts at the border.
