1/ I’m so proud to see Twitter continue to step into its purpose today by amplifying and centering the voices of a community that has historically been pushed to the margins of public conversation.
2/ This #Juneteenth https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> hits different. It’s been a heavy few weeks, few months, few centuries for our people. And today – like @opalayo said – I want to sit in this, sit in this feeling of freedom and Black joy. https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/1273956122962132994">https://twitter.com/Twitter/s...
3/ On your TL today, you’ll see an incredible thread from @TwitterTogether that points to educational resources and info about the importance of #Juneteenth https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">. We ALL gon’ learn today.

4/ On a day that is meant to represent freedom, I think about what freedom means to me: #BlackJoy https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">. It’s the reason we don’t stop and why we know the fight is worth it. Blackness is *multi-dimensional* – we are so much more than a history of oppression.

5/ Blackness is also joy. So today, we’re flooding your feed with #BlackJoy https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">. So let us see it – the jokes, the memes, the art https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">. We want to see it all. Tweet your #BlackJoy https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">.

6/ Part of my joy is uplifting voices that need to be heard, when they need to be heard. Proud to do that across the country today with billboards in 8 cities that have become the epicenters of protest in recent weeks.
7/ Each billboard highlights Tweets from strong Black voices that channel the collective Black experience as the fight for equality lives on.
8/ I’m so moved to see all of this come to life today. We stand in solidarity with you – in protest and in joy. Happy #Juneteenth https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊🏽" title="Erhobene Faust (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust (mittlerer Hautton)">
