 Celebrate Juneteenth in Louisville
Join in on the the Juneteenth celebrations in Louisville from June 8-19th.
Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, commemorates the day on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and announced that all enslaved people were to be freed. This came two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, and marked a significant turning point in the fight for freedom and equality.
We believe that Juneteenth is not just a holiday, but a symbol of hope and progress. We're committed to creating a space where people can come together to celebrate this important event and continue the work of building a more just and equitable society.

 Free Safety Around Water Clinics at All YMCA Branches
The YMCA of Greater Louisville will kick off a Swim Equity initiative offering free Safety Around Water clinics in May. Drowning is a local and national crisis; it’s the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4 and the second for those ages 5–14, with 4,000 fatal incidents annually in the U.S. alone–a staggering 11 drowning deaths per day. A number of socioeconomic, geographic and racial factors only worsen the statistics. Sixty-four percent of Black, 45% of Hispanic/Latino, and 40% of Caucasian children have little to no swimming skills. And socioeconomics factor in as well with 79% of children in households with incomes less than $50,000 have few to no swimming skills. Those who live in flood prone areas, in rural areas, or who frequently travel to bodies of water are at a higher risk of drowning.
This year, the YMCA is joining forces with several community partners to increase awareness around water safety and drowning prevention.
All YMCA branches in the Louisville area are offering free Safety Around Water clinics in June and July. To learn more about these clinics and how to register, visit ymcalouisville.org.
 New Campaign to Help Prevent Child Vehicular Heatstroke
Each year tragic stories of child vehicular heat stroke begin to appear with the onset of heat season. Child heat stroke occurs an average of 37 times each year, often when a child is mistakenly or purposely left in a vehicle. In 2023, 29 children in the U.S. died because of vehicular heatstroke. The Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is urging the public to help prevent child heat stroke through a new campaign that urges people to “Stop. Look. Lock.” The campaign emphasizes:
Before leaving a vehicle,
Stop, look for a child, and lock the car doors.
It only takes a second.
NHTSA reminds the public that everyone can do their part to keep children safe:
- By locking your car when it’s not in use, you can prevent children from gaining access to the vehicle and minimize the risk of them getting trapped.
- Even if you don’t have a child of your own, a child in the neighborhood could get into an unlocked vehicle, with tragic consequences.
- Never leave a child alone in a car, even if you think you’ll only be gone for a minute.
- Rolling down a window does little to keep a vehicle cool.
- Heatstroke can happen even on a relatively cool, 60-degree day.
- A vehicle can reach a dangerous temperature in as little as 10 minutes.
- When you’re driving with your child, remember Stop. Look. Lock. to make sure your child has been dropped off at daycare or with a caregiver, not left behind in the car seat.
- Keep an item in the back – like a teddy bear. Put the bear up front with you when your child is in their car seat to serve as a reminder.
- Or, put your bag or phone in the back with the child.
- Some new vehicles come with back seat reminder technology that will remind parents to check their vehicle before they leave.
- And if you see a child in distress in a vehicle – ACT. Call 911 immediately and get help.
For this Heat Stroke Prevention Day, help spread the word about the signs and symptoms of heat stroke, what to do in an emergency and the risks of heat stroke for childrentext.
 Report Odors
The Air Pollution Control District encourages residents to familiarize themselves with air quality tools and resources that are available to them. Notably:
- Residents can sign up to receive alerts when air quality is forecast to be poor, this is especially valuable for sensitive groups like older adults, children, and those with pre existing conditions like asthma.
- Residents can access live air quality conditions and health guidance 24/7 with resources like APCD’s Louisville Air Watch at lousivilleky.gov/air (graphic attached)
- If residents see or experience air pollution issues like odors, open burning, or dust we encourage them to report those to us with as much detail as possible (graphic attached)
We also encourage local businesses to sign up as Air Quality Action Partners by taking a few voluntary steps to improve air quality in Louisville.
