Today, we celebrate Juneteenth National Independence Day.

More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was enacted - June 19, 1865 - official word was finally delivered to the military in Galveston, Texas, that the Civil War was over, and all remaining enslaved people were to be freed.

Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day, celebrates one of the many fundamental steps taken to ensure the independence of Black Americans. Armed with hope and unwavering persistence, more than 250,000 formerly enslaved people forged ahead, contributing to the greatness of this country.

Please join us in celebrating, reflecting, honoring, and learning about Freedom Day.

We're so thrilled that our own Sam McClure will be honored tonight at Twilight on the Terrace with Baltimore Pride's Legacy of Pride Award!

This award recognizes individuals whose dedication and leadership have strengthened Pride celebrations, activism, visibility, and community empowerment over time. Sam and her team's creation of the Elder Pride tent at Baltimore Pride created a new space of joy, advocacy, and belonging for generations within the LGBTQIA+/SGL community.

Thank you, Sam, for all you do for our communities--we can't wait to celebrate with you tonight, and all weekend!

Members of our Sexual Health Clinic, substance use, OB/GYN, and Population Health teams were out and about at Charles Street Promenade last weekend to offer STI testing, Narcan training and kits, and information about Chase Brexton’s services. They distributed 56 life-saving doses of Narcan, and tested over three dozen individuals—way to go, everyone!
