Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸

We join our country in celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We reflect on the long, ongoing story of American democracy: one built, generation after generation, by people from every background who chose to contribute their talents, labor, and leadership to this country’s promise. Just as our nation’s founding required unity across differences to build something enduring, our country's success depends on standing together — mentoring one another, having the courage to speak up, and lifting up the next generation of government leaders.

We wish you and your families a joyful, safe, and meaningful Fourth of July.
