As we head into Thanksgiving

As we head into Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a warm and joyful holiday.

This year, I'm reflecting on what I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for the resilience of our communities. Grateful for the countless acts of kindness we see every day. And grateful that, even in challenging times, we continue to stand up for one another and for the future of our democracy.

I'm thankful that we live in a nation where most people still believe in justice, equality, and the power of coming together. I'm thankful for the organizers, volunteers, voters, and neighbors who keep pushing for progress — not because it's easy, but because they know it matters.

And I'm thankful for you. Your commitment, your engagement, and your hope for a better tomorrow are what make all of this work possible.

Wherever you are, and however you celebrate, I hope you find connection, comfort, and a moment of peace.

The times ahead won't be easy. But the only way we can fight for a better tomorrow is by standing together.

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Onward!

Jeff
