Why this petition matters
Started by Evangeline Reynolds
In 2000, Trailblazer & Texan Opal Lee Started the Yearly March for Its Federal Inclusion and Then in 2021, It Was Recognized into Federal Law by President Biden—the Juneteenth Holiday Experienced a Long, yet Triumphant Journey From June 19, 1865.
Yet, the Journey Continues for the State of Alabama, which Currently Awaits a State Legislative Consensus Before Governor Kay Ivey will Implement into Law. Without Such Legislative Agreement, Each Year the Governor Performs a Declaration Recognizing the Federal Holiday.
Enough is Enough! Together We Can…
Require State of Alabama Legislators to Pass Legislation which Permanently Includes the Juneteenth Holiday on the State Calendar for Governor Kay Ivey to Sign for 2024.
