I am fired up.
Look at this turnout. Look at this energy.
Today in Northern Virginia, people lined the highway waving signs, cars honking in support, strangers stopping to say hello. It wasn’t staged. It wasn’t quiet. It was loud, visible, and impossible to ignore.
This is what democracy looks like in real time. This is freedom of speech in action. People showing up. People standing together. People refusing to be silenced.
Thank you to everyone who came out.
I have one ask of you.
When you’re at these rallies and you see someone standing alone, please go up to them. Embrace them. Please welcome them into your circle! I know so many people who want to be there, who believe in this, but are scared to show up alone. Let’s make sure they never feel that way again.
Because this fight isn’t abstract. It’s happening right now: in our communities, in our voices, in moments like this.
We stand together.
NO KINGS! Not today. Not ever.
It was amazing getting to meet some of you today. Thank you for saying hello. It means a lot to me.
Sending you strength and love across the miles!

P.S. The song at the end, “Freedom” by one of my favorite artists, Jon Batiste, felt especially fitting.
