Soccer isn’t just a game—it’s a global language shaped by movement, resistance, culture, and community. Community and intersectionality continue to make the beautiful game great - we encourage you to learn, reflect, and take action where you can.

107ist.org/juneteenth

#JUNETEENTH #BAONPDX #RCTID

Juneteenth is a celebration of emancipation—and a reminder that freedom is a shared promise still being pursued.

As we celebrate and acknowledge Juneteenth, let us also commemorate Juneteenth not only as a historic milestone, but as a call to action. Now more than ever, our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness must bind us together as a community.

That means recognizing that none of us are free until all of us are free.

As we honor Black resistance and joy, we also stand in solidarity with immigrant and refugee communities who continue to face detainment, deportation, and fear. The struggle for liberation has always been interconnected—and our work must be, too.

We believe in a world where community means protection, not punishment.

Where soccer celebrates culture, not just competition.

Where no one is left behind.

Keep each other safe. And keep showing up—for freedom, for justice, for one another.

Juneteenth es una celebración de emancipación y un recordatorio de que la libertad es una promesa compartida que aún se persigue.

Mientras celebramos y reconocemos Juneteenth, también conmemoremos Juneteenth no sólo como un hecho histórico, si no como un llamado a la acción. Ahora más que nunca, nuestros derechos inalienables a la vida, libertad y la búsqueda de la libertad nos deben unir como comunidad.

Esto significa reconocer que nadie de nosotros es libre hasta que todos nosotros seamos libres.

Mientras honramos la resistencia Negra y el júbilo, también debemos solidarizarnos con la comunidad de migrantes y refugiados quienes siguen enfrentando detención, deportación y miedo. La lucha por la liberación siempre ha estado interconectada -
y nuestro trabajo debe serlo también.

Creemos en un mundo donde comunidad significa protección, no castigo.

Donde el fútbol celebra cultura, no sólo competencia.

Donde nadie se queda atrás.

Mantengamos la seguridad entre unos y otros y sigamos manifestando nuestra presencia - por libertad, por justicia y por todos.
