One of the things when we’re approaching Martin Luther King, and one of the deadly sins in our country is that loud voice of silence, where people, good people sit on the sideline and allow those who are promoting hate, promoting untruths to go unchallenged.
Lawrence speaks about the danger of silence in the face of hate and the importance of civic engagement.

I am proud of what this budget does. It includes a 30 percent increase in discretionary funding for child welfare programs.
I specifically encourage you to incorporate doulas. We know, especially in low-income areas, sometimes the doulas that are in the community are the only support system.
I am very active in addressing and trying to find ways to protect Americans from hate crimes.
this must become a priority for us in America. Too many moments of silence and best wishes for your family. We have to do something in America to address gun violence.
