Mark Takano: “Despite the soaring rhetoric, ESSA is not a blank check to states and districts.”

Every generation must take up the work of renewing and perfecting the idea of America so that America lives up to its promise.

We fight for an America where nobody feels that they have to carry a passport to prove they belong.

America belongs to all of us. Let’s Go For Broke. Go all in for democracy. Go all in for equality. Go all in for freedom.

We are here because the work that began 63 years ago is unfinished.
