Brand New Day

Today was the first day of our new Congress that is more representative than ever of the demographics of our country (https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/03/politics/new-congress-history-women-diversity/index.html). I was at a program tonight that stressed just how significant this moment is not just because of the backgrounds of these new politicians, but also their backbones. Even before being sworn in, these leaders have taken stands about their orientation and introduction to Congress that have never been taken before. They give me hope.
