#December6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Today we remember the tragic, senseless murder of 14 women at l'École Polytechnique in Montreal 29 years ago, and strive to ensure that violence against women is eliminated. #VAW #EndVAW 🌹

Happy Hanukkah! Over these eight nights, we draw inspiration from light that can overpower any darkness, and recommit ourselves to building a brighter future for our families, our communities, and our world. Chag Sameach from the Obama family to yours.
