Michelle Obama Issues Juneteenth GOTV Message

“On Juneteenth, we celebrate our freedom, our resilience, and our progress. Today we’re honoring all the Black folks who came before us – who helped build our country with their bare hands – who marched and fought to do everything they could to build a better future for us all.

“This Juneteenth, let’s pledge to keep using our voices and our votes to create the change we want to see in our country. Juneteenth is all about celebrating our collective freedom and fighting to protect it.

“Our power, our rights and even our planet are on the ballot this year. So now is the time to think about how you’re going to make your voice heard in this election. Get yourself registered to vote, and then text three friends to do the same.

“Do not sit on the sidelines this year, because this is a critical moment for all of us.” – Michelle Obama, in a video message posted to her 22 million followers on X.
