Celebrate Equality, But There is More to be Done

This past year was a year of tumult and a year of change.

As a nation we sought unity to protect human rights and freedom. We have taken steps forward to defend the vulnerable and speak up for the voiceless. We have tried to prevent any steps backward to a past era of intolerance and discrimination. We have joined hand in hand to celebrate, not silence, the differences that make our nation whole.
