Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, achievements, and lasting contributions of Black Americans throughout the nation's history. As a day of reflection, remembrance, and celebration, it recognizes the enduring importance of freedom and the continued pursuit of equality, opportunity, and justice for all.

June’s Veterans Advisory Commission meeting brought together commissioners, veteran-serving organizations, and community partners for discussions on veteran advocacy, military recruitment initiatives, and programs that support healing and connection through the arts. Commissioners also considered a letter of support for the Major Richard Star Act and received updates from the Los Angeles County Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
Thank you to everyone who attended, shared updates, and contributed to the conversation in support of the veteran community. Join us next month to be part of the conversation: https://ow.ly/WIKP50Y24ke
