Allocate $6,000 to cover shortfall for 2025 Juneteenth Celebration
$6,000
In Plain English
Richmond's annual Juneteenth Celebration faces a $6,000 budget gap that threatens to cut youth activities and other programming. The city already provides $20,000 annually for the event, which celebrates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and attracts thousands of residents. If approved, this one-time funding ensures the full event happens as planned.
