DC Emancipation Day reminds us that enslaved people in DC were the first to be freed in the US. It also reminds us that we're not fully free or autonomous until we become the 51st state. Today, let's celebrate our culture, celebrate our history, and remember that the fight continues.

Alejandro, Jose, Dorlian, Miguel, Maynor and Carlos are immigrant heroes. In the middle of the night, they labored on the Francis Scott Key Bridge to make the daily commute smoother for tens of thousands of travelers. We join their families here and abroad in mourning them.

FACT: Of the 115 Native languages spoken in the U.S. today, 79 will go extinct within a generation without serious intervention. This week I joined @SecHaaland to talk about the role @USEDGov plays in preserving Native languages.
For Native peoples, our languages connect us to our ancestors and homelands, and help us share Indigenous Knowledge from generation to generation. @Interior and @USEdGov are teaming up to preserve Native languages to empower and create lasting impact for Tribal communities.
