Municipal workers in Anchorage can now count on having both Juneteenth and Indigenous Peoples’ Day off this year.
“Holidays give us this space to really celebrate who we are as a community, and the richness and diversity, and different types of folks and backgrounds and contributions both historical and current,” Assembly member Austin Quinn-Davidson said.
“ probably one of the best things I’ve had the opportunity to do serving on the Assembly is providing in the code and in our processes, recognition of two very important holidays for large segments of our population,” Constant said.back to June 19, 1865, when the last slaves were freed after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. The recognition of these holidays has been monumental for many people in the Anchorage community.
Parker says there are people within their culture that work in the government who have never been able to take the day off to celebrate and still be paid.
