Tacoma showed UP and showed OUT for Juneteenth! With over 15,000 people in attendance, "Juneteenth Celebration: A Road to Economic Freedom" was one of the biggest and most powerful celebrations in the state. From unforgettable performances by Fred Hammond, Crystal Aikin, and Soul 4 Real, to incredible vendors, food, and nonstop good energy—this event was all about honoring Black freedom, culture, and the journey toward generational wealth.

Even while on leave, Besa Gordon pulled up to connect with the community, meet supporters, and experience one of the most joyful and meaningful events of the year.

Big love to JD Davis and the entire Juneteenth Washington team for creating a space that blended celebration with purpose. This wasn’t just a party—it was a reminder of where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what we can build together.
