Every word of this ❤️❤️❤️️. We love you, Congressman Lewis. And we’ll do our best to honor your service and sacrifice with our own. nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opini…

When it comes to reforming our criminal justice system, protesting is important. And pairing it with voting is the best way to create lasting change. Make sure you and everybody you know is registered to vote at whenweallvote.org/register.

This past month has shown that you all know how to make your voices heard. Now it's time to speak out at the ballot box. You can vote today in Georgia, North Dakota, South Carolina, West Virginia & Nevada. Don't miss this chance to have a say in the future of your communities.

Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.

Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it.

It’s up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own.

It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets. I pray we all have the strength for that journey, just as I pray for the souls and the families of those who were taken from us.
