Miche, After 30 years, I’m not sure why you look exactly the same and I don’t. I do know that I won the lottery that day—that I couldn’t have asked for a better life partner. Happy anniversary, sweetheart! pic.twitter.com/sYGKPOff1O

Obama Foundation: 5 Years

When Barack and I left the White House, we asked you to help us shape the @ObamaFoundation's work. Since then, we’ve launched nine programs and connected countless leaders around the world. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait for what's next. https://t.co/PrGkDTRbP3 pic.twitter.com/gGX9zX8tIf

Happy anniversary, Miche! Over the past 29 years, I've loved watching the world get to know you not just as a daughter of the South Side, but as a mother, lawyer, executive, author, First Lady, and my best friend. I can’t imagine life without you. pic.twitter.com/SEXc9jMXPl

Freedom And Justice

John Lewis and C.T. Vivian loved this country so much that they risked their lives so that it might live up to its promise. They gave all of themselves to the cause of freedom and justice, and inspired generations to follow their example. Now it’s up to us to continue the work. pic.twitter.com/LZNQHqIUAo

DACA: 9 Years

On the ninth anniversary of DACA, I’m thinking about all the brave DREAMers who have stepped forward to tell their stories. They have fueled a movement that is still working to guarantee the permanent protections they deserve. I will always be inspired by their fight. pic.twitter.com/YrVuuVTrrE

The Tulsa Race Massacre

On the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, we remember all those who were killed and the survivors who bravely continue to share their stories so that we never forget this painful part of our history. Take a moment to learn about what happened: https://t.co/RiqrSpKGNz

11th Anniversary

Join me, @ProtectOurCare, and health care advocates from across the country to discuss 11 years of the Affordable Care Act and the work we still need to do to make sure all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care. Watch now: https://t.co/Rae2yr8EjZ

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 22, 2021

As part of the American Rescue Plan, @POTUS just signed the largest expansion of health care since the Affordable Care Act. It’s an example of how government is supposed to work, and exactly what I hoped would happen when I signed the ACA into law 11 years ago today. pic.twitter.com/G7WUgYdxOp

The Affordable Care Act has helped 20 million Americans get coverage—and up to 130 million Americans can no longer be denied coverage because of a preexisting condition. It has been a lifeline for Americans who've lost their jobs and their health insurance during the pandemic.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 23, 2021

But I’ve always said that the ACA is like a starter home—it’s our job to keep tinkering with it and improving it over time.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 23, 2021

And now, thanks to the hard work of President Biden, Senator Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Americans all across the country who have spent years fighting against repeal and pushing to improve the law, our starter home is starting to look pretty spacious.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 23, 2021

The American Rescue Plan lowers premiums for millions of families, makes health insurance more affordable for low-and middle-income Americans, and provides incentives for states to expand Medicaid and cover as many as four million additional Americans.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) March 23, 2021

Now we need to keep it up. Because until every single American has access to quality, affordable health care, we have more work to do—and I’m grateful to President Biden for continuing to lead the fight.

My Brother’s Keeper: 7 Years

Today marks seven years since we launched My Brother’s Keeper to reduce barriers and expand opportunity for boys and young men of color. And it remains true that the only way our country lives up to its ideals is if our young people can reach their fullest potential. pic.twitter.com/dOoOGPxnNv

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 27, 2021

To date, My Brother’s Keeper has touched thousands of lives, and these are just a few stories of the inspiring young men we’ve met. By joining the @MBK_Alliance, you can help us reach even more. https://t.co/ol1G5LLZ8n

Voting Rights Act: 55Th Anniversary

Today is the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act––one of the crowning achievements of our democracy. But once the Supreme Court weakened it, some state legislatures unleashed a flood of laws designed specifically to make voting harder, especially in communities of color.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 6, 2020

We've got to fight harder to protect the right to vote. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have––and we can start by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Once we pass that, we should continue marching forward to make it even better.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 6, 2020

****

We can do this by making sure every American is automatically registered to vote, including formerly incarcerated people. Let’s also make sure to add more polling places, expand early voting, and make Election Day a national holiday.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 6, 2020

Let’s guarantee that every citizen has equal representation in our government. And end partisan gerrymandering, so that all voters have the power to choose their politicians. And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster—a Jim Crow relic––then that’s what we should do.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 6, 2020

****

We have to treat voting as the most important action we can take on behalf of democracy. So make sure you are registered to vote. Request a mail-in ballot early and send it back early. Then get your family and friends to do it, too. Every vote counts. https://t.co/XdZz4dh82T
