Juneteenth Cookout

Join Project 3.5

This Juneteenth, we're not just celebrating our ancestors' freedom. Our theme this year is "Resist."

We're resisting tyranny and answering the call to defend our freedom. Join us for the Juneteenth: Week of Resistance, a powerful week-long series of events from June 13th to 21st, honoring our people's strength, spirit, and strategy in the face of ongoing attacks on our rights, voices, and communities.

Resist Juneteenth 2025 Events

Be Part of the "Buycott"

From June 15th - 21st, join the Buycott! Inspired by the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a "buycott" makes our voice heard through thje power of our collective wallets!

Our economic resistance has always been rooted in purpose! As programs like DEI are dismantled, we're doubling down on supporting businesses that honor our history, hire us, and respect our buying power.

Let's move our money with intention and invest in those who invest and hire us. Use the maps below to find and do business locally.

Boycott WalMart/Sam's Club

  • Date: Tuesday, June 17th
  • Time: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM ET
  • Location: Revealed at the link

Now that the administration is trampling on the accomplishments of women, minorities, gay, transgender and disabled people, Walmart stores are walking away from their commitment to fairness be eliminating policies that support diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Join us at 5pm on Tuesday, June 17th on the sidewalk in front of the Walmart's Sam's Club store in Southfield to demonstrate our love of diversity, the need for equity in the stores vendors, the value of inclusion and the fairness of access. We will encourage potential customers to shop somewhere where they are respected and show the world what it means to reject hate.

To make sure you never need to set foot on Walmart property, there is a vacant parking lot (a former Taco Bell) conveniently located just West of the store.

Annual Juneteenth Cookout

  • Date: Friday, June 21st
  • Time: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Location: Inkster Park, 1550-1676 John Daly St, Inkster, MI

We're closing out strong with our annual Juneteenth Cookout! Come through for the food, the music, and the joy that only we know how to create, even in the face of struggle. This is more than a party. It's a declaration that we're still here and rising and know how to turn pain into power. Bring your squad, your appetite, and your dancing shoes. It's time to celebrate freedom, resistance, and us!
