portionately affects Indigenous,

Black and Latino people: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, 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.That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” We still have a long, long way to go until those self-evident truths become reality.

Until every Black person, every immigrant, every LBGTQ person, every American Indian or Alaska Native can freely breathe and live in true liberty and pursuit of happiness, we have no business claiming greatness. Remember that when going to the polls in November.
