Woodbury for Justice and Equality is hosting our fifth annual community celebration of Juneteenth on Saturday, June 14, 2025 from 11am-3pm at Ojibway Park in Woodbury.
There will be a dance performance by Afrocontigbo, drumming and poetry from the Irreducible Grace Foundation, music again provided by Madison Sound DJ, free BBQ chicken and hotdogs, ice cream for purchase from MikMart Ice Cream Truck, as well as tables with information, kids activities, and merchandise from community partners.
Come join us in celebrating how far we've come and how far we still need to go! See you there!!
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.
