Juneteenth Legislative Community Forum

This Juneteenth, we invite you to start the day with purpose, connection, and community power.

Join GRAAHI this Friday for our free Juneteenth Community Conversation, a morning gathering focused on civic engagement, voting rights, health equity, voter registration, and the policies that shape everyday life in West Michigan.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom has always been connected to voice, agency, and action. This event is an opportunity to come together as neighbors, friends, families, advocates, and community members to ask questions, learn more, and get ready to participate in the elections ahead.

With Michigan’s August primary approaching and the November midterms only a few months away, now is the time to make sure you are registered, informed, and ready to use your voice.

Joshua Elliott, Deputy Chief of External Affairs, Michigan Department of State
