This a local Indivisible event!
We meet up every Friday in downtown Albany at the intersection of 4th and Ellsworth (east side of Linn County Courthouse), from 4:00-6:00 pm.
All signs supporting just, fair, and inclusive communities are welcome.
It’s Juneteenth!
Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.
The Juneteenth flag was created in 1997 by activist Ben Haith.
The star at the center represents Texas and the extension of freedom for all African Americans throughout the whole nation. The burst around the star represents a nova and the red curve represents a horizon, standing for a new era for African Americans. The red, white, and blue colors represent the American flag, which shows that African Americans and their enslaved ancestors are Americans, and the national belief in liberty and justice for all citizens.
*A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
