"Silence is a failure of leadership in times like these. Harvard, with its motto “Veritas” — truth — owes it to all of us on the frontlines of these false attacks to defend us for teaching and practicing the very values it claims to uphold." — @KhalilGMuhammad

My latest in @TheHillOpinion: as we enter a new phase of great power competition, in which democracy is under threat in many regions, we need to supercharge our cultural diplomacy efforts. We need to find a way to coordinate our influence outside the traditional venues.

God bless Senator Feinstein. Millions of women were able to make choices about their own bodies because of her courage. Gay Americans are freer because of her leadership. The politics will come but high and deep praise for a woman who fought for us.

As a firm, @TheRabenGroup has been a real inspiration for me and many of my friends. @RobertRaben with his diverse, incredible team have built such an amazing place to help make the change we need in this world. Here’s to 20 more years!
When I founded @TheRabenGroup 20 years ago, I knew three things to be true: Justice is a long arc, change does not just happen, and progress is not linear.
A blast to work @TheRabenGroup! Let’s do another 20 years.
Both our victories – and the unfinished work – are proof points. As we look ahead to the next 20 years, we thank our many partners, clients, and friends for having so much to celebrate: rabengroup.com/twenty
Congratulations @TheRabenGroup on this milestone anniversary! Thank you for standing with us…and pursuing justice & equity alongside us.

.@RobertRaben Thank you for your relentless pursuit for justice & equity. You’ve embolden us to demand what is rightfully ours…and unleash our power to create the changes we need & deserve! Onward towards progress! Much work remains to be done these next 20 yrs.
When I founded @TheRabenGroup 20 years ago, I knew three things to be true: Justice is a long arc, change does not just happen, and progress is not linear.
I recently celebrated 10 years @TheRabenGroup. Seeing this thread about what the firm has accomplished in its full 20 years — some of these things I've even had the privilege to be a part of — is pretty awesome. ¡Gracias jefe (@RobertRaben)!

@RobertRaben @TheRabenGroup congrats on all that you have accomplished
@GOVERNING: Lots of them are named for slaveholders, British royalty and even fictional characters. It’s time we honored some of the heroes of the struggles for freedom and equal rights. @RobertRaben @TheRabenGroup governing.com/now/hardly-any… #localgov
Kudos to @RobertRaben for an excellent piece which honors Fannie Lou Hamer- and other historical people of color! Hardly Any Counties Are Named for Black People. Let’s Change That. governing.com/now/hardly-any…
@elliotcwilliams @TheRabenGroup @RobertRaben I live in this county and never knew any of this 😳 , “For example, there's King County, Wash. Originally named for an Alabama slaveholder named William R. King, in 2005 its namesake was changed to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”
Justice is still a work in progress. createsend.com/t/r-3DE5C2AD5D… @RobertRaben
@RobertRaben I have been screaming this at my TV for weeks. "am I going to pack the courts? You want to talk about court packing? Let's talk about how the GOP has been packing the courts!" FLIP THE QUESTION!
This @Slate podcast is great and anyone interested in the Barrett hearings or SCOTUS politics writ large should listen. Thx @RobertRaben for the Amicus discussion with @Dahlialithwick.
Thank you to @Slate’s @Dahlialithwick for having me on the Amicus podcast for some frank talk about next week’s Senate confirmation hearings. slate.com/podcasts/amicu… via @Slate
