“Indigenous Peoples’ Day is more than a reflection on history. It’s a celebration of who we are today, and who our young people are becoming. Their creativity, courage and generosity of spirit remind us every day that they are building a stronger future rooted in connection and hope.”

Indigenous Peoples’ Day:
“Today, we honor the strength, beauty, and resilience of Indigenous peoples across this land — and we celebrate our vibrant cultures, which continue to nourish and heal our communities.”

“Happy International Day of the Girl—a day to celebrate the promise, talent, and determination inherent in every girl in our world. I’m also celebrating the extraordinary leaders in our @GirlsOpportunityAlliance Network, who are helping to break down the barriers that too many girls still face.”

White Feather Foundation:
“Females are born with an automatic disadvantage—inequality in every corner of the globe, from educational opportunities to threats of violence. This observance aims to raise awareness to change that.”

“Maria Corina Machado has shown that the tools of democracy are also the tools of peace. She embodies the hope of a different future, one where the fundamental rights of citizens are protected, and their voices are heard.” #NobelPeacePrize

Need to recreate this in Chicago: Gather up some blues artists, visit the museums, walk along the lake, get some pizza & end the day with a Super Bowl Shuffle dance off. #ChicagoStrong #IllinoisStrong #SayNoToFascism #PortlandSolidarity
