Support FBA Reparations: Juneteenth Celebration in DC

Hello and welcome! This is Tariq Nasheed, and I'm excited to share with you the vision behind our upcoming event, the Rally4Reparations/Juneteenth Celebration. As a passionate advocate for Foundational Black Americans (FBA) and a firm believer in the power of community action, I've taken on the role of organizing this event to bring attention to a cause that's deeply meaningful to me.

Event Overview:

On Saturday, June 15th, 2024, we will gather at Freedom Plaza in Washington DC for a day filled with inspiration, empowerment, and celebration. Our event will feature an impressive lineup of guest speakers, activists, and musical acts, all coming together to amplify the voices of the FBA community and honor the rich cultural heritage of Juneteenth.

Purpose:

The Rally4Reparations/Juneteenth Celebration holds a special significance as we stand united in our demand for reparations for Foundational Black Americans. It's an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to justice and equality, while also celebrating the resilience and strength of our community.

Why it Matters:

For me, this cause is deeply personal. I've seen firsthand the impact of systemic inequality and injustice on the lives of FBA individuals and families. Juneteenth represents not only a momentous milestone in our history but also a reminder of the ongoing struggle for liberation and equality. By coming together in solidarity, we can ensure that the voices of FBA individuals are heard and that their contributions to our society are recognized and valued.

Impact:

The Rally4Reparations/Juneteenth Celebration isn't just a one-time event—it's a catalyst for change. Through our collective efforts, we can raise awareness, foster dialogue, and advocate for meaningful reparations that address the historical injustices faced by the FBA community. Together, we can create a more equitable and inclusive future for all.
