"Humans are complex. Humans are multifaceted. Humans are capable of grit and determination. This means that humans are also worthy of hope.

If I learned anything from watching this moment in history, I realize that it's not about being a 'Democrat' or a 'Republican' it's about being human.

What we do now will echo through future generations. My hope is that we choose to be better tomorrow than we are today."
