Florida injury lawyers celebrated Juneteenth by supporting ACLU
MIAMI, June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Brandon Stein, owner and founder of SteinLaw, recently announced the firm's donation to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The contribution coincided with Juneteenth celebrations across the United States that occurred June 19, 2022.
The non-profit, non-partisan ACLU was founded in 1920. Its overarching mission is to expand the reach of the United States Constitution's guarantees so that they are applied to all persons equally. The ACLU is frequently involved in history-making litigation to uphold individual freedoms for persons of color and others who have traditionally been denied equal protection and rights under U.S. law.
SteinLaw actively demonstrated its support for African-American history, culture and progress with this donation, and support of the ACLU complements the law firm's goal of maximum recovery for clients. SteinLaw understands that recovery must include a level of personal satisfaction that goes far beyond financial compensation.
"Our support of the ACLU demonstrates that SteinLaw is committed to ensuring civil liberties are available for communities of color," explained SteinLaw founder Brandon Stein. "SteinLaw stands up for its clients, and that willingness to stand up for others extends to supporting social justice issues more broadly."
SteinLaw's staff is comprised of individuals from diverse backgrounds who have direct experience with cultural, religious and racial differences in society. The contribution to the ACLU was the most recent of several donations demonstrating SteinLaw's respect for impact lawsuits and similar efforts in the public interest of marginalized populations.
"I believe that good representation, both now and in the future, makes a difference," Stein said. "Juneteenth is a national holiday now, but it took 156 years. The perseverance of real people is what ultimately brought about the change, and SteinLaw's central mission is to help real people," he continued.
The American Civil Liberties Union currently has more than 1.7 million members. More ACLU lawyers appear before the U.S. Supreme Court than any other private organization. The ACLU collaborates with 2,000 volunteer attorneys in all 50 states to represent clients whose rights have been violated.
Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19, officially became a national holiday in 2021. Juneteenth is considered by many to be the longest running African-American holiday, as June 19 is the anniversary date of the 1865 proclamation that freed enslaved people in Texas.
Federal offices, including the United States Postal Service, U.S. stock markets and schools were closed Monday, June 20 in observance of Juneteenth. According to a survey by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, around 30% of private employers made Juneteenth a paid holiday for employees in 2022, a number that's expected to grow in future years.
