Not quite a selfie, but I couldn’t miss the chance to post a #JohnLewisSelfie on what would have been his 86th birthday. (1/2)
Honoring John Lewis on his birthday.
Together, we led a 26-hour sit-in on the House floor, protesting Congress’s lack of urgent action after the shooting at Pulse Nightclub.
His legacy inspires me to keep challenging the gun lobby and making Good Trouble. #JohnLewisSelfie

Not quite a selfie, but I can’t miss the chance to post a #JohnLewisSelfie on what would have been his 85th birthday. John Lewis’s legacy of fighting injustice from the streets to the halls of Congress will live forever. I was proud to know him as a colleague, mentor, and friend.
On his 85th birthday, today, I’m thinking of my late friend Congressman John Lewis.
While those in power fight day and night to undo his life’s work, now more than ever, we must follow Congressman Lewis’ example and show what it means to get into Good Trouble.

Today, Congressman John Lewis would be 85. A tireless advocate for justice and equality. I met him in D.C. while advocating for children. He told me, “Your voice should never dimmer. Our children need loud voices.” His words still inspire me to keep fighting for change. #johnlewisselfie #GoodTrouble

Happy birthday to a true American hero, John Lewis.
I was very fortunate to be able to meet Rep. Lewis at a dinner where he was honored for his work in April 2018.
Today would have been Rep. Lewis' 85th birthday, and he is greatly missed.
