This June, we are extending a SPECIAL INVITATION to you - our phenomenal Crew Leaders from every corner of the country - to be the first to say "YES" and join us on an EPIC journey back to the streets this Juneteenth weekend. Together, we will extend a radical welcome to sisters everywhere by inviting you to claim your neighborhood by hosting a Welcome Walk in your community during this upcoming Juneteenth weekend.
Here are our Top Juneteenth Welcome Walks FAQs:
1. WHAT ARE JUNETEENTH WELCOME WALKS?
Welcome Walks are powerful ways to extend radical welcome to sisters everywhere by claiming 1000 Black neighborhoods across the country. That’s why we are activating GirlTrek Crews to host a welcome walk on Juneteenth weekend. It’s a part of our "Summer of Radical Welcome" (Official announcement coming on Monday, May 29th!). Just know that we will be in our neighborhoods deep, planting flags, and welcoming sisters into the movement. Save the date for Saturday, June 17th and get ready to claim your official GirlTrek neighborhood flag when the announcement drops!
