John,

Today, we honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His leadership in the fight for civil rights and racial equality encouraged a nationwide movement and made him one of the most revered public figures in the history of our country.

More than ever, it's important that we take time to remember Dr. King's words like: "History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people."

Between battling the COVID-19 pandemic, the fight for racial equity, and the events at the Capitol earlier this month, we're at an inflection point. Generations to come will learn about how we reacted and what we did -- or didn't do -- to respond to this moment.

We have a duty to to keep fighting -- for equality, to end the pandemic, and to call out attacks against our democracy, and that’s what I plan to continue to do as your governor.

Dr. King's legacy has proven to us that the fights worth fighting aren't easy, but they are necessary to make our state -- and country -- a better home for all.

Thank you,

Laura
