This month's featured Asset of Commonwealth is History. At OC, we define History as, "The shared stories of our past times, people, places, artifacts, and experiences that give context to a community." It's that last phrase that makes this asset so powerful. Our past does not define us, but it does provide valuable context to our community's story. Knowing and understanding our history helps shape our futures.

Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, the sons of Stratford Hall founder Thomas Lee, were the only brothers among the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence. Their older brother Thomas Ludwell Lee was an active member of the Virginia Convention which instructed the Virginia delegation to make the resolution for independence from Great Britain. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee, senior member of the Virginia delegation to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia, presented a three-part resolution, "Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances. That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation." When Congress reconvened on #OnThisDay (July 2, 1776), it adopted the Lee resolution almost unanimously—New York did not cast a vote. Immediately, Congress began to shape the Declaration document to its final form, which was officially adopted on July 4—the day of its annual celebration in the United States. #stratfordhall #declarationofindependence #history #virginiahistory #historymatters #americanhistory #nnk250 #va250

Mass deportation is not the solution, it has never been a solution. Listen as Global Refuge highlights the dangers of such programs. Real solutions come from a real understanding of migration patterns. Follow reputable organizations like American Immigration Council, Global Refuge and Human Rights First for analysis and meaningful measures and actions to address migration and welcoming all people with dignity.

Conducting the largest deportation in U.S. history would be a disaster. History shows why. There's still time to learn from our past mistakes and not repeat them.
History shows just how terrible mass deportation is.

#KnowtheFacts Lying in the digital age is a bold choice - here is video proof of Trump speaking about the Heritage Foundation and Mandate Project 2025. His latest "statement" is an attempt to distance himself from it only now because of public knowledge and justifiable backlash. His posting and saying “I know nothing about Project 2025,” “I have no idea who is behind it” are demonstrably false and is an attempt to deceive voters about the dangerous direction a second Trump term could take. (Read more facts below in paragraph after next.) Project 2025 is a sweeping dismantling of #civilrights #equalrights #LGBTQrights, #healthcareaccess #womenshealthcare #education #votingrights #environmentalprotections #technology and would impose religious/conservative ideology on the #federalcivilservice From American Progress - Fact Sheets of Project 2025 State by State https://lnkd.in/eseq7_Dn From Scientific America - Far Reaching Threats to Science https://lnkd.in/ddpudazS From Forbes - Project 2025 Explained: What To Know https://lnkd.in/eJm2AAjZ From Newsweek - What Project 2025 Means to Women https://lnkd.in/e2k_eKxV Despite his public disavowal, Project 2025 has been heavily influenced by his team and forecast. The words “Trump” and “Trump Administration” appear 300 times in its pages. At least 140 former Trump officials are involved. Over 30 contributors served at direct levels in and around Trump's previous administration, staffed by and endorsed by numerous key figures from his inner circle, including some of his most senior advisers. John McEntee, director of the WH Presidential Personnel Office under Trump, is a senior adviser for Project 2025 and has played a pivotal role in compiling lists of potential staffers for a future administration. Stephen Miller, a prominent aide to Trump, has been described by Axios as "one of the most powerful architects" behind the initiative. Ben Carson, former secretary of housing and urban development; Peter Navarro, former White House trade adviser; Russ Vought, former director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought has contributed significantly to the project, drafting a key chapter and currently serving as the policy director for the committee writing the Republican National Committee's policy platform. Trump's super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., has been actively promoting Project 2025 through advertisements. The super PAC has launched a website called "Trump Project 2025" with both Stephen Miller and former press secretary Karoline Leavitt have appeared in online ads endorsing the initiative.
