JUNETEENTH! CELEBRATING AFRICAN AMERICAN FREEDOM. San Francisco SafeHouse would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Juneteenth! Today marks the anniversary of the day that union troops rode into Texas to announce the end of slavery, two and half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This year is a particularly powerful and special Juneteenth as the African American community and its allies continue to fight for the end of institutional and systemic racism. Here at SafeHouse, we have been witness to the multiple forms of violence as well as housing and job discrimination that impact our participants. We cannot talk about human trafficking and sexual exploitation without understanding the intersection and overlapping issues of systemic racism, criminalization, immigration, and poverty. |
As a womxn’s organization that celebrates our diversity, we will continue to stand with our participants, staff, and colleagues and prepare to continue the important work ahead. SafeHouse is a community that works in a culture of equality and justice. We respect all individuals to continue the important work ahead. Change starts at home, with you and all of us. We need to stand together and be unified. |
