Hi there,
There have been very few occasions to celebrate recently -- so President Barack Obama wants to make sure we don’t miss this one: The Supreme Court just ruled to protect LGBTQ+ Americans from workplace discrimination all across the country.
That photo is from 2015, when the Obama White House was lit up in rainbow colors to celebrate the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality. It’s a reminder that civil rights victories have come before. And this ruling against LGBTQ+ workplace discrimination is a reminder that civil rights victories will continue to happen now and in the future as long as we work for them -- and that times are never as dark as they appear.
In short, our former president is reminding us all of what our country is capable of at its best -- and showing us that we can get there again. Do you miss having a leader like that? Tell us now:
