"At first, I didn't even want to do it myself, but I realized at the end I would benefit from it, and I would get to meet more people and make more connections. Doing activities together made me more open to them, and I was able to relate to them and build that brotherhood relationship,” said Joshua Croffie.

Joshua gained hands-on work experience, built lifelong connections, and discovered a path toward a future in mechanical engineering through the Columbia Urban League's summer employment program. His story is a powerful reminder that when we invest in young people, we invest in stronger communities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Juneteenth Rally at the Adam Clayton Powell Plaza in Harlem. Together with Until Freedom, we honored the legacy of freedom while recommitting ourselves to the ongoing fight for justice, voting rights, and economic empowerment.

Juneteenth is more than a commemoration, it’s a call to action. It’s a voice for the voiceless. We’re grateful to our partners, speakers, and community members who showed up and stood together for the people.

Happy Father's Day! 💙

Today especially, we celebrate the fathers and father figures who lead with love, courage, and wisdom in our communities every day.

Happy Juneteenth!

On June 19, 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free.

Just as much as is a celebration of freedom, it’s also a call to action. The National Urban League stands on the frontlines of racial justice every day because freedom delayed is justice denied.

Let’s keep fighting to protect the freedom we’ve always deserved. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽

As we gather on this for barbecues, family gatherings, and celebrations, we are reminded that delay is not denial.

In the face of unprecedented assaults on our rights as Americans and the erasure of our history, including the administration’s decision to move Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday from the federal park holiday calendar, it is our responsibility to those who waited for freedom to exercise ours.

As we gear up to celebrate Juneteenth, take a moment to honor Opal Lee, who helped bring to widespread recognition. Her courage, advocacy, and lifelong commitment to freedom helped transform a historic struggle into a national celebration.

Her persistence reminds us that progress is powered by people who refuse to stop pushing forward.

Why are we as a people being targeted?

That's the question bouncing through Black America right now. We’re continuing our fight for equity, opportunity, and justice for all in the face of attacks on our progress and freedoms.
