On DACA’s 14th anniversary, we celebrate Dreamers. They have gone to school, built families and lives, and contributed enormously to our communities. They belong here.
When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.
Congratulations to Allegra Levy for winning our 2-K jingle competition! And congratulations to these 6-year-olds for knowing a lot about numbers...for example: "Knicks in 5" and "2-K starts this fall."
