We believe that if young people who are passionate about public service get financial aid for college, exposure to travel, and the networks they need to make a difference, the sky's the limit.
I hope you'll apply by March 22. https://t.co/IGJNIOwmkI
.@Bchesky and I were excited to meet with the inaugural class of Voyager Scholarship recipients at our Summit last year.
And we're proud to announce that applications for the second class of Voyagers are now open: https://t.co/rbtrjAlgPe https://t.co/XCmwGPIBP4
I hope you’ll join with the activists who’ve been sounding the alarm on this issue for years — and act. Stand with them at a local protest. Volunteer with them on a campaign. Donate to their causes. And vote in every election for candidates who will support reproductive rights.
On what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we’re reminded that progress can move backward. And that means we’ve got to recommit to doing our part to protect and expand reproductive rights for families today — and for generations to come.
Prime Minister @JacindaArdern has guided New Zealand through crises and seized opportunities by leading with foresight, integrity and empathy. Her country is better off because of her remarkable leadership—and the rest of us are too. https://t.co/3Mx2iYCnsE
Proud to see @SecBlinken visiting my hometown of Chicago! The Ukrainian community has always been a big part of what makes our city special—and today, with Ukraine on democracy’s frontline, that's as true as it's ever been. https://t.co/cZLR1Gh4ja
All this while solidifying our alliances and offering a guiding hand during a time of increasing global conflict and upheaval. I’m grateful for all that President Biden and Vice President Harris have done for the American people. And I know they’re just getting started.
And for the first time in nearly 30 years, Congress was able to pass significant gun safety legislation to help save lives.
They’ve strengthened the Affordable Care Act. They’ve lowered health care costs for seniors. They’ve capped the costs of insulin. They’ve distributed hundreds of millions of free vaccines.
Today marks two years since the Biden-Harris administration began. I’ve been reflecting on how fortunate we’ve been to have the steady leadership of @POTUS and @VP—and all the public servants working to deliver for folks across the country. https://t.co/6w23hOPdnt
Applications are now open for our new @ObamaFoundation Leaders USA program.
We're looking for passionate emerging leaders from every corner of the country, ages 24 to 45, who are making an impact in their community.
I hope you'll apply by February 3 at https://t.co/xH55hkIkMI. https://t.co/4RuS240Wd4
Happy birthday, @MichelleObama. You make every day brighter — and somehow keep looking better! https://t.co/hJwQy4YCSm
Today we pay tribute to the extraordinary life and legacy of Dr. King, and reflect on the lessons he taught us. Thanks to everyone who joined the @ObamaFoundation to lend a hand in Chicago. https://t.co/06Xb4aRFAJ
If you need to get covered, head over to https://t.co/DEjP7PTKgn. Open enrollment ends this Sunday, January 15.
I’ll always be proud to have my name associated with a program that’s helping folks get the health care they need. https://t.co/mnOTx4jdOA
This week, Illinois joined states across the country in passing a historic gun violence prevention package. This would not have been possible without the work of grassroots organizers, survivors and their families, and lawmakers who channeled their anguish into bold action.
If you haven't already, I hope you’ll take some time to watch Descendant on @Netflix. It's an important documentary that shares the story of the descendants of the Clotilda, the last known ship carrying enslaved folks from Africa, as they uncover the truth about the past. https://t.co/GQGDoGvwKQ
Last fall, visual artist Adam Davis captured tintype photos of the descendants of Africatown during the premiere of the @HGMedia documentary Descendant. He recently took one of me, too. These photos were inspired by the images taken of a Clotilda survivor, Cudjoe Lewis. https://t.co/ocXP8K8AkZ
The entire world has a stake in the success of Brazil’s democracy. Together, we must reject any effort to overturn or disrupt the will of the Brazilian people and affirm the peaceful transfer of power as a cornerstone of democracy.
15 years ago today, our campaign won the Iowa caucuses. I’ll always be grateful to the people who organized across the state, and built the relationships that made it all possible.
I recently sat down with six organizers to talk about that time and what they’ve been up to since. https://t.co/2fghTvMdLn
