A wonderful piece to read on this Juneteenth by @CondoleezzaRice: "In some sense, the history of the United States is a story of striving to make their soaring words—We the People—real to every American. It’s the story of becoming what we profess to be.".
On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, and freed the last enslaved people in the Confederacy. When we celebrate their freedom, we celebrate America itself.

.@freedomhouse released its Freedom in the World 2024 report today. I hope you will join me in reading it and thinking about ways to #advancedemocracy and #freedom in the world this year.
📣 NEW: #FreedomInTheWorld 2024 is now LIVE!. Flawed elections and armed conflict drove an 18th consecutive year of democratic decline. It's against this backdrop that billions will vote in 2024—a crucial test in the struggle for global freedom.
