"Also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day and Emancipation Day, Juneteenth — which combines the words 'June' and 'nineteenth' — commemorates that historic day. For generations, Black families and communities celebrated Juneteenth through community gatherings, such as prayer, music, storytelling and cookouts, honoring the resilience and perseverance of those who endured and survived centuries of enslavement.
Today, Juneteenth offers an opportunity to reflect on and learn from the past and consider what freedom, citizenship and democracy mean in the present. Its lessons encourage thoughtful conversations about our shared responsibility to build a more informed, engaged and equitable society. Juneteenth requires us to center the experience and emphasize the role of Black Americans in the movement for freedom."

CANTWELL ON IRAN DEAL: "An initial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to halt President Donald Trump’s war in Iran has been publicly disclosed," the office of U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, stated in a news release Thursday. "The MOU grants significant concessions to Iran while postponing any commitments from Iran on its nuclear programs."

Cantwell issued the following statement:

“The President’s war with Iran was a mistake. The MOU is the price the President must pay to get us out of this unauthorized war before it further damages our economy and costs more lives. The President should now work with Congress and our allies to negotiate a new regime of sanctions and inspections to ensure Iran never develops nuclear weapons.”

Thank you, AG Brown! We agree!!!

We sent a letter today to 39 county prosecutors and more than 250 municipal attorneys offering our assistance in protecting the rights of Washingtonians to organize politically through the initiative and referendum process. There have been reports of harassment directed towards signature gatherers. While the AG’s office does not have the legal authority to initiate criminal cases without a referral from a local prosecutor, we are here to assist local prosecutors in these cases. https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/ag-brown-offers-local-prosecutors-help-safeguarding-initiative-and-referendum
