United States has a new federal holiday. 🇺🇸 It’s the first new holiday in decades. The name of this holiday marks an important date—June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas. It’s a milestone in the right direction, but what next?

The Senate breaks tradition and unanimously passes a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. This upcoming holiday commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. A date that came two and a half years after the emancipation declaration upon the news finally making its way to Galveston, Texas where 250,000 enslaved people were still held. This holiday commemorates not only this country being founded on systems of oppression, but this holiday also commemorates how these systems have evolved and largely exist today. Here are four things that need to happen in order for anti-racist legislation to match the intentions behind this holiday.

1) Reparations for Black Americans.
2) The Emmitt Till Anti-Lynching Act.
3) The John Lewis Voting Rights Acts.
4) Dismantle and rebuild the racist institution of policing.

That's a wrap for this year's #SnowSchool season! Here are a few of our favorite highlights (read it all at @wwasnowschool's link in bio):

❄️ 34,000 participants across 70 active sites and in snow covered backyards nationally! 50% of students qualify as underserved and were snowshoeing for the first time.

❄️ 50+ hands-on winter activities and snow science experiments that K-12 students did every week of the winter, right out their back door! Thanks to the help from SnowSchool educators nationwide.

❄️ Students in the SnowEx flight path collected snowpack data as citizen snow scientists and we began developing a new instructional video series based on @NASA SnowEx snow science techniques.

❄️ Participated in NASA snow science through our collaboration with @communitysnowobs.

❄️ @winterwildlandsalliance hosted the first ever National SnowSchool Conference (virtual) for over 60 educators from SnowSchool sites nationally.

❄️ Engaged thousands of adult chaperones, parents, K-12 teachers and volunteer educators this winter.

So, what does the trail ahead look like? Read it all at @wwasnowschool's link in bio.
