Yesterday I celebrated a Seder, and this morning I attended Palm Sunday Mass.
These two traditions come from different faiths, but both call for the pursuit of justice and compassion in all that we do.
May you have a meaningful #HolyWeek and Passover.

At a time when efforts to erase progress on inclusion are growing, a Black man—Senator Cory Booker—made history.
His 24+ hour speech didn’t just break records, it reclaimed them from segregationist Strom Thurmond, who once stood against civil rights. A powerful stand for justice.

This is a moral crisis. We need urgent action to invest in mixed income housing, supportive services, and real solutions.
Federal officials say the United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said that federally required tallies taken across the country in January found that more than 770,000 people were counted as homeless.
