June 19th is Juneteenth, a day to commemorate the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved people in the United States. However, the fight for Black liberation was not resolved with the end of slavery and the US Civil War, and this day reminds us of the injustice and brutality in our nation's history.

As an organization dedicated to empowering voters and defending democracy, the League is committed to building a future of progress and equity for all

 Juneteenth Festival Volunteers Needed

The HF League will be showing up to provide Voter Registration services at the Homewood-Flossmoor Juneteenth Festival.  Although Juneteenth is officially June 19th, the festival will be held on Saturday, June 15.  Voter Registrars and Assistants are needed for two-hour shifts.  If you're a new voter registrar or thinking about becoming one, this is an excellent opportunity for you to get started or simply observe and assist as needed. The festival will be held at the Homewood Flossmoor High School Parking Lot, 999 Kedzie Ave, Flossmoor, from 11 AM to 6:30 PM.  Please contact Voter Service Co-Chairs, Mary Griffin or Veroncia Amen at lwvhfareaboard [at] gmail.com.lwvhfareaboard [at] gmail.com (
