Today is supposed to be a celebration of 250 years of American history, but for many of us, the weight of life is hard to ignore. Watching families being separated day after day, "progress" begins to feel like a word from the past.

My heart is with my community today, with the brave individuals who left everything behind for a chance at a better life, and with those who continue to bring so much color and life to our society.

I am so grateful to call this place my home, a place where so many different cultures and languages weave together to make us who we are.

Regardless of borders or citizenship status, every single person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Amen amen amen! I’m grateful for all the voices speaking truth to power. I’m grateful for all my friends that have gone before me and did the hard work. I’m grateful to have obtained my Master’s and added to the Latinos in higher education. Thank you for sharing this Brian. I’m grateful for your work.
