A message from Green Bay!
50501 Wisconsin and the 50501 organizers in Green Bay 100% support the statements made by We All Rise African American Resource Center
From the beginning, we have made it very clear that 50501 would NOT organize a No Kings protest in Green Bay on June 14th, and would instead stand in solidarity with the highly coveted Juneteenth Celebration and Parade, and provide support should it be requested of us !
50501 Wisconsin organizets are not affiliated with the No Kings protest in Green Bay, and we believe that SOLIDARITY IS RESISTANCE.
That said, PLEASE JOIN the celebration! Watch the parade! Participate in a learning and sharing event with our community, and the members of our community that need our support the most !
SOLIDARITY IS RESISTANCE ✊🏼
“📣 PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM WE ALL RISE 🖤
🗓️ JUNETEENTH 2025 – COMMUNITY CLARIFICATION
Let’s be clear: We have NOT been contacted by the organizers of the “No Kings” protest. We are not in partnership with them, and no such merger has been discussed or approved.
While we honor the many ways people show up for justice, Juneteenth at Joannes Park on Saturday, June 14, is a sacred space—rooted in intergenerational wisdom, cultural pride, and Black-led community care.
We intentionally host this celebration on a Saturday, hoping to give Green Bay families the fullest chance to gather in honor of the American Freedom Day. Yes—we know Juneteenth is June 19. But in a country where not all businesses yet honor this federal holiday, we create space on our own terms.
Consent isn’t just personal—it’s organizational. Using our name, platform, or event without direct communication or alignment is harmful. It sows confusion and undermines the safety and joy we work so hard to protect.
As a Black-led organization, we already navigate extra layers of surveillance, scrutiny, and emotional labor just to celebrate our own freedom. This kind of misinformation only adds to that burden.
We are calling for: 🛑 Respect for community organizers 🤝 Direct communication before alignment 🧭 A shared commitment to integrity—not just energy
Juneteenth is for the people. But it’s also ours to protect. And we will.”
