Thank you for sharing your gifts to help make the United States great. I am disappointed in my country these days, but I couldn’t be prouder of my friends. My life, my communities, and this world are stronger for your presence. I’m sorry that immigrants had to make their presence known and appreciated today. I’ve never taken immigrants for granted because so many of my good friends and beloved colleagues were born outside of the US. However, I have never before been quite so cognizant of how living in the country I was born into is a source of my privilege. I promise that in honor of all of the light that immigrants bring to my life, I will persist in fighting policies and actions that dehumanize immigrants or put immigrants in the margins. I stand in solidarity with immigrants today and every day. I will do everything in my power to make “liberty and justice for all” a reality.
All My Love,
LB
