Congrats to the first class of Hillary Rodham Clinton Global Challenges Scholars on completing their studies at @SwanseaUni. Your interdisciplinary work has prepared you to address pressing issues in creative ways. It’s been an honor getting to know you and I am so proud of you!⁣ ⁣ And welcome to the new class of scholars as they embark on their studies. A global pandemic isn't an easy time to start something new, but I know you all will rise to the challenge. I look forward to helping all I can. ⁣ ⁣ Thanks to Sky for making this program possible.

Buddy in the snow, January 20, 2000, via @wjclibrary42. Wishing everyone hit by the storm a good snow day—stay safe and warm!

A legend. But also a lovely, warm, utterly grounded human being. Thank you, Cicely, for the art you made, the path you forged, and the lives you changed.

Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress, made more history 49 years ago this week as the first Black person to run for the presidential nomination of a major party. “Our country needs women’s idealism and determination," she once said. "Perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.”

Wear a mask.

Spotted at the first Women's March on Washington, four years ago yesterday.

Meeting @KamalaHarris's grand-niece was a highlight of an already pretty great day.

Right now, our country needs caring, compassionate leaders who will act in service of everyone in America, not just those who voted for them. There’s nobody better suited to this moment than @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Wishing you a good first full day at the new job, my friends.

Honored to witness history today. May God bless @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris as they take on the work of healing our nation. May we all fulfill our duty as citizens to help our country and our fellow Americans through the challenges ahead.

It delights me to think that what feels historical and amazing to us today—a woman sworn in to the vice presidency—will seem normal, obvious, "of course" to Kamala's grand-nieces as they grow up. And they will be right.

Let's just sit with this for a moment and what it means. Tomorrow, Kamala Devi Harris will be the first woman sworn in as vice president of the United States.

Four days after her husband was assassinated in Memphis, Coretta Scott King came to the city to take his place at a march in support of striking sanitation workers. I was a college student at the time and remember listening in amazement to the news reports of this woman taking up her husband’s struggle on behalf of the dispossessed, three of her children in tow. ⁣ ⁣ She told 50,000 people gathered in the rain at Memphis City Hall that she was there to continue Rev. King's work to make all people truly free. Not just free from the obvious shackles, the legal segregation, or the oppression that one can see, but truly free inside, knowing that each of us has a personal relationship with God that can take us through any darkness. ⁣ ⁣ She made clear that day and through the rest of her life that her husband's work would live on in everyone who believes that "this nation can be transformed into a society of love and justice, peace and brotherhood." Their legacy endures. The work continues. #MLKDay

Democracy is fragile. We, the people, are its stewards. And we have a lot of work to do to protect it from those who attack it.⁣ ⁣ Let's encourage our representatives to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act as a first step to safeguard access to the ballot. #DemocracyAgenda

Ten years ago today, Rep. Gabby Giffords was holding a constituent meet-and-greet outside a Tucson grocery store when a man walked up and shot 19 people. Six people were killed, including a nine-year-old girl. Gabby was left in critical condition.⁣ ⁣ With luck and the help of talented doctors, Gabby survived. With hard work and determination, she has healed. And with her fierce commitment to making the world a better place, she has devoted herself over the last decade to ending gun violence with @giffordscourage. Her husband and partner in this work, Mark Kelly, was sworn in last month to continue the mission as a U.S. senator from Arizona.⁣ ⁣ We've all gone through so much over this last year. It can be hard to see a way forward. But Gabby put it best in today's New York Times:⁣ ⁣ "Through hard work, intention and commitment our country will overcome the rage of those who stormed the Capitol with Confederate flags and symbols of hate. We draw strength from the bravery and determination of our first responders and frontline workers. They inspire me. We will move ahead together as I did and still do every day—one foot after another."

Congratulations to the new senators from Georgia, and to everyone who organized and voted to get them there. It's a new day.

Today's Senate runoff elections will help determine how far the Biden administration can go to provide COVID relief, put people back to work, and help Americans through one of the toughest periods in our history.⁣ ⁣ Georgia, we’re all counting on you. iwillvote.com/ga

In this year of tremendous loss, grief, and hardship—but also care and solidarity—it feels fitting to give the last word to one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver. "Don't hesitate."

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a warm, healthy, and very merry Christmas. As we all celebrate in small-scale ways to keep each other safe this year, I'm remembering past celebrations and looking forward to more next year.

Two weeks to flip the Senate. If you're a Georgia voter, make a plan to vote early: iwillvote.com/ga If you're not a Georgia voter, pitch in money or time if you can: GASenate.com

Thank you to the 2,000+ members of the wider Onward Together family who joined yesterday’s partner call.⁣ ⁣ Our big news is that we’ve welcomed two new partners to round out 2020: @HigherHeights4 and Accountable Tech.⁣ ⁣ Higher Heights’ mission is to build Black women’s power in and out of the election cycle, with some incredible wins in 2020.⁣ ⁣ Accountable Tech is taking on the companies at the center of the misinformation crisis that has destabilized our democracy.⁣ ⁣ Onward Together will work with both groups to provide grants, advice, and other support as these organizations take their work to the next level.⁣ ⁣ Here’s to building power behind the values we share, and even more wins, in 2021.
