Another fantastic event celebrating Juneteenth with our Woodbury neighbors! Check back for more W4J&E events. See you soon!
Woodbury for Justice and Equality is hosting our fourth annual Juneteenth celebration on Saturday, June 22, 2024 at Ojibway Park in Woodbury, MN. Come join us in Honoring the Resilience of our Black, Brown, and Indigenous neighbors as we commemorate the end of slavery in the US.
Like last year, W4J&E will be sponsoring this event including a DJ, live performers, free food, and lots of community connections. Our grill masters are returning with their famous BBQ chicken too. All are welcome to this family friendly event and come hungry!
If your organization or business would like to host a table at our event, please email us. There is NO fee to host but you will need to bring a table (and tent if you'd like shade). We appreciate donations of water, snacks, or paperware to suppliment our sponsored lunch of your organization would like to further support us.
Our 2023 Juneteenth Celebration was such a fun event. Thank you to all who came out to join us. A special thank you to the City of Woodbury for creating this video of our event.
Our Mission is to learn about systemic inequalities and racial injustices in our community in order to seek solutions to change the status quo. Our Vision is to have a Woodbury where everyone has an equal opportunity and feels welcomed.
This group was created first on Nextdoor for our neighbors in Woodbury to learn more about social injustice from the people who are experiencing it and most importantly to join the fight to change the status quo. This is only possible if we stand in solidarity to promote equality. We can start change in our own backyard and this will go a long way in changing the world.
While we do have a group of over 500 members online, a core leadership group as organized and meets monthly to plan our next projects. Walter Dobgima is the President and founder of the group. Please contact us if you would be interested in being part of the core team.
