“The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...This document was written over 240 years ago, and yet, these very rights face challenges to this day. It is incumbent on all of us to fight for these rights. During these trying times, even when we feel exhausted and defeated, we must inspire and energize each other to keep fighting. Let’s denounce intolerance and strive to spread humanity and kindness. It is important for us, our children, this country, and the world.”
