From our The Obama Foundation Scholars to our Voyagers, the leaders I met this week inspired me. They’re organizing in their communities, finding solutions to important challenges, and using their voices to bring about change.

Today and every day, we celebrate the perseverance, strength and beauty of Indigenous communities around the world. Our traditions, cultures and lifeways are here to stay as we build a world where all Indigenous peoples are respected and heard. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

I am proudly Jewish and Hindu. My grandparents were expelled from Pakistan. But today I draw on the words of the Prophet Muhammad: 'If the Final Hour comes while you have a shoot of a plant in your hands and it is possible to plant it before the Hour comes, you should plant it.'

To the people celebrating the mass murder of Israeli civilians, you have lost your humanity. To the people enthusiastically calling for Israel to decimate Gaza, densely populated with 2 million Palestinian civilians, you have lost your humanity. Israelis and Palestinians are real…

Those who left the greatest impression on me when I visited Israel and the West Bank were the children. They want peace, they want safety, they want life. This violence must end, and all communities must enjoy the right to exist. Im yirzeh Hashem, in sha Allah.

I absolutely condemn the horrifying attack on Israel by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. There is no justification for this violence, and innocent people on both sides will suffer hugely because of it. It must end now.

Great mix of students & professionals at @UVM yesterday to hear about MIT's Dr. John Parsons's groundbreaking work on deep decarbonization.
