DEMAND THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA REINSTATE JUNETEENTH AS A HOLIDAY!

The Issue

Reinstate the Juneteenth Holiday (the day slaves were freed from bondage in America) observance in 2021 and beyond for the City of Philadelphia employees the same as in 2020.

To have had the Holiday and then it's removal is both tone deaf and hurtful to the City's workforce and citizenry.
