We extend appreciation to Chair Michlewitz and Parisella for their leadership and to Representatives Rodney Elliott, John Moran, and Bill MacGregor for co-sponsoring the amendment.

It's a day to reflect on the ongoing fight for equality and justice, and to recommit ourselves to creating a more equitable world for all. At Vinfen, our mission is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background. This Juneteenth, we honor the legacy of those who fought for freedom and stand in solidarity in the fight for racial justice.
