SOCIAL

JUSTICE

"A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked and justice is reserved for a select few."
-JRL

EQUITY IN

EDUCATION

"There are hundreds and thousands of young Americans who cannot or will not receive an education, because in order to get an education, you have to spend money."
-JRL

HEALTH

AWARENESS

"Health care is a right and not a privilege.”
-JRL

"Ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part."
