I want to thank our new Bronx Borough President @BronxBP Vanessa Gibson for inviting me today for #MLKDay as we work side-by-side for voting rights. This fight is far from over, and we won’t stop fighting until we win.
Judge Gilbert S. Merritt understood the power of his position and sought to use it to advance justice for the Americans he served and to help build democracies abroad. He was a man of great integrity and I am lucky to have benefitted from his mentorship, wisdom, and friendship.
Thank you to @TheRevAl and @NationalAction for having me today in New York for #MLKDay as we stand together to fight for voting rights. We won’t stop fighting until we win!

What an honor to receive an award today from the Baptist Ministers’ Conference of Greater NY & Vicinity and the NY Interfaith Commission for how we’ve delivered for churches amid COVID!
Churches have helped keep communities together in this crisis. I won’t stop working for them.
Health Canada’s approval of @pfizer's COVID-19 antiviral is great news for Ontario. This provides our health care system with another tool in the toolbox to protect Ontarians.
We expect to receive approximately 10,000 courses of treatment from the federal government in January.
Proud to join Ecuadorian Pres. @LassoGuillermo, Colombian Pres. @IvanDuque, and representatives from Costa Rica & Panama in expanding the area around the #Galapagos, creating the largest protected #MarineCorridor on the planet & taking forceful action against #ClimateCrisis.

As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we must pledge to each other and for each other we will put in the work, not just with platitudes on holidays, but by protecting the right to vote, eliminating injustices many still face, and creating a more beloved community.
As the voting rights bill finally comes to the floor of the Senate, there is only one vote which will really matter. Will 50 Democrats vote to override the filibuster, protect American democracy and pass the bill, or will Manchin and Sinema vote with the GOP and let the bill die?

- torture & murder doesn’t matter
“We don’t care.”
ALL that matters to them is more $$ from CCP so NBA millionaires & billionaires can get even richer.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said that denying the right to vote "is a tragic betrayal of the highest mandates of our democratic tradition."
This #MLKDay that sacred right is under threat. I join the millions calling on lawmakers to defend this core tenet of our democracy.
Today as we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
The fight for voting rights is not over.
I was honored to join @BAM_Brooklyn for #MLKDay to stand together to say that this fight is just too important.
We won’t stop fighting until we win.

Of course. They’re too busy getting ready for Russian gas, after Biden & 44 Dems voted to give Putin a multi-billion dollar pipeline.
Dems claimed capitulation would get Germany’s help. Oops.
Biden’s & Dems’ surrender to Putin make Russian invasion of Ukraine almost inevitable.

As we celebrate the extraordinary life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., let us not just celebrate the man, but remember the values and vision that motivated him.

Dr. King was instrumental in passing the first Voting Rights Act. As we remember his life and legacy this #MLKDay, let's recommit ourselves to ensuring everyone has the right to vote and can easily cast their ballot.
As we commemorate #MLKDay, let’s also remember that it was Mrs Coretta Scott King who kept the faith and legacy alive. Honored to have worked with her and others to help make this holiday permanent. This is a day of service.
On this MLK Day, the best tribute we can pay Dr. King is to defend and advance, in word and especially deed, the causes he lived and died for—including the right of every American to cast a vote and have it counted without politically motivated barriers.
Let's honor Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy by working to protect the right of every American to vote.
"The denial of this sacred right is a tragic betrayal of the highest mandates of our democratic tradition,” he said in 1957. It was true then and it's true now.

Today on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor the memory of a remarkable man and a giant of the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. challenged our Nation to live up to the highest ideals of our founding and his memory will continue to inspire generations to come.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the most influential Americans of all time. We are blessed for all he did to change our country. #MLKDay
Today’s winter storm in parts of Ontario is creating treacherous driving conditions in many areas. Please use extreme caution if you are heading out on the roads today. Stay safe and God bless each and every one of you.
As we honor MLK today, may his courage inspire us to redouble our commitment to working together for change. Let’s commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King by uniting the two Americas into one: an America that includes justice for one, and justice for all. #MLKDay
Honoring Dr. King’s legacy means we have to keep up the fight to advance social, racial, and economic justice — and that includes passing legislation to protect the sacred right to vote.
It's time to end the filibuster and get it done.
With the King family marching today, we remember that the fight for voting rights takes perseverance. As Dr. King said, “There are no broad highways to lead us easily and inevitably to quick solutions. We must keep going.” May we honor his memory through action forged in faith.
I often turn to the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for inspiration.
Today, I’m keeping these words in mind: the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
We are praying for all those impacted by dangerous weather yesterday throughout SW #Florida. And awaiting the initial damage assessment to determine if any federal aid is available to assist.
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
Ephesians 6:11
“When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.”
Dr. Martin Luther King (1963)
Indisputable.
