The truth remains: America cannot be great without being good. It's time to reset national aspirations in order to save democracy.
My talk on American patriotism is featured today on @TEDTalks. Take a look: ted.com/talks/deval_patrick_…

1/ I'm Board Chair of FairVote — the nation's largest RCV org. I LOVE ranked choice voting. I'm also convening chair for Yes on 3, MA's All-Party Primary initiative. People ask (@avikchatterMD): why not RCV instead? Here's the story.

1/ People have been asking me why I decided to launch a ballot initiative for an all-party primary in Massachusetts. I've been working on this for five years, and I want to tell the story. So here goes. 🧵

A deeply caring servant leader with big ideas and a record of getting things done. More to come.

In March, we released 15 recommendations from a year plus of work by the Commission on the American Workforce, co-chaired by Govs. @DevalPatrick and @BillHaslam with dozens of other expert commissioners and working group members. This report is the foundation for our approach to supporting working families, educators, and employers for years to come.

Barney Frank was a force. He was brilliant, fearless, the sharpest person in any room. He fought for working people, for LGBTQ rights and for a fairer financial system with a wit and tenacity that was entirely his own. He loved Massachusetts, this country and all of its people.

On Saturday, I stood with friends, neighbors and fellow citizens on the hallowed ground of Concord — where ordinary people once bled not just to say no to a tyrant, but to say yes to something better.

That's still our calling. Not cynicism. Not nostalgia. Imagination, conscience and the courage to build something worthy of what this country has always promised. Thank you for showing up. Now let's go do the work. #NoKings

Reverend Jesse Jackson was a relentless advocate for justice who demanded that America’s opportunities belong to every American. From the streets of Chicago to the national stage, he expanded the coalition for civil rights and economic fairness across faith, race, party and more.

He lifted the political voices of millions, and his impact has shaped movements and leaders for generations. America has lost a champion of her best values, and I have lost a friend and counselor. Diane and I send our condolences out to Mrs. Jackson and the entire Jackson family.

If you have some time today, please watch the Reverend's 1988 Democratic National Convention speech. One of the best ever.

Patrick has brought seriousness of purpose and lasting impact to everything we have ever worked on together. His humility, fresh thinking and persistence is needed to deliver real results for the people of #MA08 and all of Massachusetts. I'm happy to endorse him for Congress.
Today I’m proud to announce that Governor Deval Patrick has endorsed our campaign.
Working for him in the State House and on his campaigns, I learned first hand what real leadership looks like. His mentorship inspired me to service, and I’m honored to have his support. Let's go!

Everton was a student of mine at Harvard. He understands that politics is about expanding opportunity and dignity for everyone, not just the powerful or those who already agree with him. The people of #GA13 would be fortunate to have him fighting for them in Congress.
I am deeply honored to have Governor @DevalPatrick’s endorsement.
Governor Patrick spent his career expanding opportunity, at the Justice Department, in the private sector, and as a groundbreaking governor who invested in education and communities. 1/2

Setti Warren was a colleague in government, a true public servant, and a friend. He believed in the power of community, of service, and he was always ready to engage in the hard work of making things better.

The work continues all the way up until the polls close. Make your voice heard — and bring a few friends with you when you do.

What a beautiful day in Pittsfield. Electing @KamalaHarris as the next President of the United States is how we reclaim our place as champions of American aspirations — showing up for everyone, everywhere, with hard work, hope, humility and purpose.
Let’s make history.

President @JoeBiden's decision is an act of statesmanship. He has given us powerful tools to restore the American Dream. A statement from me:
ALT A blue and white text graphic that reads: "A statement from Deval Patrick: President Joe Biden’s decision to leave the race for the presidency is an act of statesmanship. He has given us powerful tools to restore the American Dream and to make opportunity and fair play real for all Americans everywhere. He deserves our gratitude and respect for the wise, shrewd and compassionate leadership he has shown as President and through decades of service to the Nation. Diane and I appreciate how difficult this decision must have been for him and his family. We should all appreciate his patriotism. The President’s decision gives Democrats an opportunity to reenergize the Party, redefine the race and reclaim our place as champions of American aspirations. We should seize it."
