OPEIU strongly affirms the right of all Americans to make their own health care decisions and have control over their own bodies -- including decisions over their personal reproductive health. Today's Supreme Court decision is a devastating blow to working women and families across the country that will hit hardest low-income women and gender-oppressed people and result in financial insecurity for so many.

This is the latest in a long list of recent attacks on the fundamental rights of working people in this nation. OPEIU reaffirms its commitment to continue fighting for reproductive justice and economic equity for all.

Arriving on this day in 1865, the Union Army announced the liberation of all enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. The anniversary of this fateful announcement — enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln two-and-a-half years before — has since been celebrated each year as Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is the oldest known Black holiday in U.S. history and, as of last year, the newest federal holiday. It’s a day of reflective celebration honoring the history of Black struggle and progress. In celebrating that rich history today, we too must remember the fight for Black liberation and freedom is an ongoing one.

OPEIU is proud to honor the 157th celebration of Juneteenth. We wish for you and your loved ones a joyful, relaxing and reflective day.
