There is a problem in this country, and we must acknowledge it before we can fix it. I am optimistic about our ability to overcome any obstacle, and I believe in people, in the power of empathy and compassion. May you be moved by my words and act accordingly. Our children deserve a world we know is possible, a world better than it is, a world we promised.
