Happy 250 🇺🇸
Spent the day walking through ancient Athens, including the Bouleuterion, where citizens gathered nearly 2,500 years ago to do the noble work of self-government in service of the common good. Standing there, it’s hard not to think about how long this experiment has been running, and how many hands have carried it forward since.
The U.S. is young by comparison, but part of a very old story. Each generation is called to renew its commitment to democracy and find new ways to improve it. The arc doesn’t bend on its own. Here’s to doing the noble work of citizens, today and always.

The holidays invite us to embrace the spirit of connection, compassion, and generosity. They remind us of the importance of fostering a world grounded in love and mutual respect, not just for one season a year, but always.

That's why I'm proud to be part of the Bayard Rustin Society, a national, multi-racial, intergenerational network of change makers dedicated to extending the spirit of the holidays throughout the year. Our mission is to create a brighter and more equitable future by embodying the core values championed by Bayard Rustin, a pioneering gay civil rights leader and advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In the words of Bayard Rustin, "If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end"

As we approach the end of the year, I invite you to join me and other passionate individuals across the nation as we carry forward Rustin's profound legacy. Become part of this movement of "Angelic Troublemakers" shaping a better future for our nation and the world.

Never underestimate how a chance meeting with someone who takes a chance to believe you are amazing can change your life. Through Tom, who I just met in September, I’ve made new friends, sharpened the strategic vision needed to fight for the rights of so many marginalized people, and mostly I’ve gained a true brother who I already miss (and I just left SF less than 24 hours ago).

Never let your differences outshine your sameness. We share a similar pulse for what’s wrong in the world…and our ability, alongside communities of care, to right it. 😊 taken in Lower Haight SF by @silvertom
