Juneteenth
Green Bay 2026
From Freedom to Flourishing
Freedom is more than a moment in history.
It is a commitment to creating communities where Black families are safe, supported, celebrated, and empowered to thrive.
Every June, We All Rise brings together thousands of community members, artists, businesses, educators, faith leaders, and organizations to honor Juneteenth through culture, education, wellness, and collective joy.
This isn't simply an event.
It's a living celebration of resilience, remembrance, and the future we're building together.

Why Juneteenth Matters
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865—the day enslaved African Americans in Texas finally learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Today, Juneteenth is both a remembrance and a celebration.
It reminds us that freedom must continually be protected, equity intentionally pursued, and communities intentionally strengthened.
At We All Rise, Juneteenth represents the work we do every day:
-
Building healthier communities
-
Supporting survivors
-
Investing in Black leadership
-
Celebrating culture
-
Creating spaces where everyone belongs
This Year's Theme
From Freedom to Flourishing
This year's theme honors the journey from emancipation to empowerment.
It celebrates the generations who transformed struggle into strength and asks each of us to imagine what becomes possible when opportunity, healing, culture, and community come together.
Flourishing means more than surviving.
It means creating spaces where Black families, entrepreneurs, artists, youth, and future generations can thrive with dignity, purpose, and joy.
Freedom opens the door. Community helps us walk through it.
