Folks --

The fourth of July is a time to remember how lucky we are to be
Americans. And while the celebrations might look a little
different this year, I am always grateful to take this day to
stop and recognize the great strides we have made as a nation - and the work that remains and the promises
left unfulfilled.

Because as we celebrate, I am reminded of just how fragile the
great American experiment is. The chaos and corruption of the
Trump administration are testing the strength of our democracy
and the values laid forth in our founding documents. Now, more
than ever, it is important that we hold those in power
responsible to preserve our great nation.

So while we might not gather for fireworks or parades this
year, I hope you'll start some new traditions, like checking your
voter registration status ( [link removed] ) or committing
to volunteer
( [link removed] ) on a
campaign you're passionate about.

It will take all of us - every individual citizen - rolling up
their sleeves this year to restore principled leadership to our
government and begin the hard work of repairing the damage
wrought by Trump on our values and our institutions. And I think
the birthday of our great nation is the perfect moment to
recommit to the fight for our democracy and our values.

Happy 4th of July, folks. Celebrate safely,

-- David
