Kings. 57 years ago today, my parents, my uncle A.D., my Aunt Christine, and my paternal grandparents in Oslo, Norway for Daddy’s acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. People don’t often see my father’s parents and siblings. Would you please share this? #MLK #Legacy #Love

Powerful @nytimes editorial calls for @NationalService as a new social norm: “a year in which barriers of race, class and income were breached…could help restore a measure of the community, commitment and hope that America cries out for.” nytimes.com/2021/05/01/opi… #AmeriCorpsWorks

It is critical that communities hit the hardest by COVID-19 are at the center of the policymaking process. The next cohort of @TheNext100 Policy Entrepreneurs will do just that, and #nationalservice can be part of the solution. Learn more and apply: thenext100.org/join-next100

Congratulations to @MLB for taking a stand on behalf of voting rights for all citizens. There’s no better way for America’s pastime to honor the great Hank Aaron, who always led by example.

The $1 billion for @AmeriCorps in #AmericanRescuePlan is historic but the real story will be told by the lives saved and improved: Americans vaccinated, students back on track, families out of hunger, children reaching their potential; stronger communities & a more united nation.

The @washingtonpost nails it: In the Shadow of its Exceptionalism, America Fails to Invest in the Basics: “America can put a rover on Mars, but it can’t keep the lights on and water running in the city that birthed the modern space program.” tinyurl.com/3w7m24z9

Since we know that N95 masks are a remarkable deterrent to the virus, it seems that one big missing national strategy is for the federal government to use the War Production Act to massively increase production and send them free to every American. cnn.com/2021/01/22/hea…

If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag or gave up on our country.

This is the most unAmerican moment of our lifetime. Everyone -- especially our nation's leaders -- must condemn this attack on our democracy. There must be a reckoning for those who fueled this shameful, dangerous and unacceptable attack on the US Capitol.
