As we celebrate with family and friends today on the Fourth of July, let’s recommit ourselves to the founding ideals of our democracy. America is strongest when we acknowledge our history and come together to create a brighter future for all our children.

This Independence Day, we draw strength from our history of breaking down oppressive systems and from the realization that we have capacity to keep on moving forward. Our fight for liberation is far from over. #FourthOfJuly
