Celebrating Juneteenth in Solidarity with Our Community

In recognition of our community and business partners and the need for social justice reform and change, we are honoring Juneteenth by taking a company-wide holiday on June 19th. Juneteenth is a celebration by the African American community commemorating emancipation from slavery on June 19, 1865 in Texas.  Our hope is that this day will provide time for reflection on how we can all drive  meaningful change within our social systems.


In addition to this action, we encourage our employees, customers and partners to share their voices in support of social justice reform. We are pursuing making a difference through the following actions:

Contact Political Representatives: Make phone calls to your local, state, and federal representatives and tell them your issues and the actions that you would like them to take.
Share Your Voice: While we are in the pandemic, show your solidarity while social distancing. Consider joining a caravan car parade, post signs, wear buttons. have a conversation.
Donate:  Donate funds to not for profits and community organizations supporting communities and social justice reform.
Be Informed: Gather information from a variety of sources, read books and articles, and listen to podcast and NPR.
Vote: Register to vote and vote in all elections.  If you will be traveling, register for a mail in ballot.

We are inspired by our partner’s, Ultimate Software and Kronos Incorporated, and are following their lead in taking this action. Here is their announcement:

The historical significance of Juneteenth will be honored as a company-wide holiday by Ultimate Software and Kronos Incorporated. Standing in complete solidarity with our community we will also take this time to focus on the critical work ahead in the pursuit of racial justice.

Be safe, be active, speak up!
