Redefining Freedom Center

There are #NoKings in America. We ended that in 1776. Our job, now, in 2026 is to protect the freedoms they won for us 250 years ago and to grow it, expand it and make it available to all of our citizens forevermore. Democracy does not sustain itself. We do! We the People must renew and win freedom in every generation. #America250 #Freedom250 #RedefiningFreedom

#FreeSpeech already has limits--as spelled out in our Bill of Rights and Constitution. And as interpreted by our #SCOTUS--we do not need Mrs. Macron to tell us about freedom. Free speech does not need to be limited. It needs to be debated, engaged, and civil.

On this day 100 years ago, @usarmy Soldiers began guarding one of our nation's most sacred places, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at @ArlingtonNatl. Since March 25, 1926, we have kept the watch to preserve and protect the Tomb, and to pay tribute to those laid to rest there in honored glory.

Nonviolence calls us to be disciplined in how we show up, especially in moments of tension and disagreement. Speak truth. Keep dignity. Seek repair. This is not easy work, but it is necessary if we are committed to creating the Beloved Community.
