Wisconsin voters, I hope you’ll make your voice heard in the April 4th election! This spring, your vote can decide who will serve on your state Supreme Court and as your local leaders. Make your plan to vote, and remind others to do the same at weall.vote/wisconsin. 🗳️ twitter.com/whenweallvote/…

My heart goes out to these girls in Iran. They should be learning in their classrooms today—instead, many are sick in the hospital. No girl should ever be afraid to go school, and we've got to do what we can to stand up for them and for girls everywhere. twitter.com/girlsalliance/…

Judy Heumann dedicated her life to the fight for civil rights—starting as a young organizer at Camp Jened and later helping lead the disability rights movement. Michelle and I were fortunate to work with Judy over the years, and are thinking of her family and friends.
