Happy 4th of July from the Freedom State of California.
Freedom.
While Republicans cry freedom, they dictate the choices that people are allowed to make. Fanning the flames of these exhausting culture wars. Banning abortion, banning books and banning free speech in the classroom and in the boardroom.
But the truth is, true freedom means being able to love the person you love without fear or discrimination.
True freedom means you can afford to get the health care you need without going bankrupt.
True freedom means you can go to a movie, a parade, a church or an elementary school without fear of getting shot.
True freedom is a woman and her doctor making the health care decisions she needs.
True freedom means you don’t have to choose between covering the cost of your utilities or the medicine you need to live.
True freedom means living life without fear that large portions of the planet will be uninhabitable for future generations.
More than any people, in any place, California has bridged the historic expanse between freedom for some, and freedom for all.
Freedom is our essence, our brand name – the abiding idea that right here, anyone from anywhere can accomplish anything.
So with that, I want to wish you and your family a safe, happy and healthy 4th of July from the Freedom State of California.
Thank you,
Gavin Newsom
