June 20 marks World Refugee Day, an international observance dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees around the world, who have been forced to flee their homes due to war, conflict and persecution. #worldrefugeeday

Juneteenth, AKA Freedom Day, commemorates the abolition of slavery in the US. A critical moment in history, but we remain aware of the Anti-Black Racism that remains today; and the personal and systemic racism that continue to exist in our society.
