212.627.8100Today, Friday, June 19, 2020, Levy Ratner is closed in recognition of the Juneteenth holiday, as a symbol of support for and solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and the ongoing protests. We do this with the understanding that 155 years after the official end of explicit, government-sanctioned slavery was finally announced in Texas – over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect — there is still so much that needs to change.
As a firm, we encourage everyone to use the time to reflect on the roles we can play, individually and collectively, in the interconnected struggles for racial, social and economic justice for all.
