Today, we mark the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
On that cold Sunday morning, 600 brave souls began their march from Selma to Montgomery. They were met with crushing violence, beaten by troopers with nightsticks and trampled by horses. And still, they returned to Selma and marched on, crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge determined to push our nation toward a future that was more equal, more just, and more free.
60 years later, we honor the legacy of those 600 brave souls, and we march on.
This work is not easy, and we cannot do it alone. Together, we recommit to our fight to safeguard the freedom to vote. Together, we must stand for democracy. Together, we must continue our fight for justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
This evening, I was honored to accept the NAACP’s Chairman’s Award.
I grew up inspired by the work of the NAACP — by all those who took up the fight for justice, equality, and opportunity. Their example is part of the reason I chose a life of public service.
At this moment, people around our nation see the flames on our horizons, the rising waters in our cities, the shadows gathering over our democracy, and ask, “What do we do now?”
We know exactly what to do. Like those who forged the NAACP and those who carried its legacy forward, we use our power. We organize, mobilize, educate, and advocate.
Not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. Because the fight is worth it.
This chapter in our American story will be written not by whoever occupies the Oval Office, nor by the wealthiest among us.
The American story will be written by we, the people.
On this day in 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was tragically shot and killed while jogging in Georgia — an innocent life taken by racial violence. Today, we honor his memory and stand with his family members, who still grieve this heartbreaking loss. Sending love and strength. 🕊️
I’m thinking about POTS patients (and those with other forms of Dysautonomia) who would be hurt by not having access to drinks like Gatorade to get their electrolytes.
I’m thinking of those with T1 Diabetes who need access to sugary snacks to stabilize their blood sugar levels.
surrounding himself with a bunch of children who have no concept of what they’re being used for and instilling in them a fear of trans people based on nothing but hate. this is the indoctrination i’ve been hearing about
Elon Musk seized control of our payment system—that's how your grandpa gets his Social Security check or how your mom’s doctor gets paid by Medicare.
The unelected billionaire wants the power to turn that on or off, for anyone.
No more business as usual. We need to fight back.
Black history is American history.
Our music, art, sports, literature, leadership, resistance, and resilience are fundamental to the fabric of our nation and the progress that we fight for.
This month and every month, we celebrate Black history, and we continue our fight for justice and equality for every American.
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
What we needed today was a President who evoked compassion for families, mourning for the lives lost, and a unified commitment to the safety of travelers.
Instead, what we experienced was a divisive, insensitive message, which lacked any factual basis for casting blame on DEI.
The message evoked racism, discrimination, and continued misunderstanding of the intent of initiatives that did not dismiss merit and excellence, but ensured that merit and excellence were not dismissed in non-white, non-male, non-heterosexual, differently-abled people.
We have a choice, America.
We can educate and elevate ourselves beyond this.
In doing so, we must cultivate and expect leadership that promotes dignity and creates an atmosphere for building the Beloved Community.
