Recognizing Juneteenth June 19
Juneteenth — also known as Freedom Day or Jubilee Day — is a holiday that celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. Effective June 17, 2021, President Biden signed a bill to establish Juneteenth as a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Food co-ops are for everyone, and we’re committed to continually learning and growing so we can live up to that statement. Learn how food co-ops, like The Merc Co+op, are prioritizing and supporting racial equity.
