Today, we celebrate his life and the countless lives his work has impacted over generations.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, showing how far into 2019 black women must work to earn what white men made in 2018. Black women disproportionately are heads of households—you lift up black women, you lift up entire communities. They deserve equal pay.

Only one of the Members of Congress pictured below was born outside the United States.
It’s me, also the only one who was not the subject of a racist tweet by the President today. All of us — including those like @Ilhan and me born elsewhere — are proud Americans.

Nina Simone once said, "It's not the waking, it's the rising." You can be woke but still be in bed. Hundreds of faith leaders joined me and @RabbiArthur for Moral Witness Wednesday b/c we can't just preach in our pulpits. We must rise and be prophetic signs in the public square.
