Together, we must ensure all people can enjoy the extraordinary gift that is a long, happy, and healthy life.

As President, I am committed to ensuring every child in America—regardless of who they are or where they live—has the opportunity to explore these treasured spaces.

Every child—no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they grow up—deserves the chance to reach their full potential.

In America everyone should be empowered by the country they call home, not limited by the zip code into which they are born.

All people deserve to live free from fear, violence, and discrimination, regardless of who they are or whom they love.

We will keep fighting, for however long it takes, until we are all able to live free and equal in dignity and rights.

The equality that all women deserve is inextricably linked to safeguarding access to preventive services and treatment and eliminating disparities in health outcomes.

Because no matter who you are, where you live, or how much money you've got, you should be able to access the world's knowledge and information just like anyone else.

If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child.

I feel passionate about making sure everybody in this country gets a fair shake.

Some of us may be less talented, but we all have the opportunity to serve.

No one should ever lose their job simply because of who they are or who they love.

Now is the time to end this kind of discrimination in the workplace, not enable it.

Our journey as a nation is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law.

As President, I have always believed that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally under the law.

It's not a privilege, it is a right.

America has always succeeded when everybody succeeds.

I am signing an Executive Order today to improve outcomes and advance educational opportunities for African Americans.
