Happy birthday to this talented, hilarious, and beautiful young woman. Malia, I hope 25 brings you everything you’re looking for and more.
Today, some of the books that shaped my life — and the lives of so many others — are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
Michelle and I want to thank these librarians for their unwavering commitment to the freedom to read. I hope you’ll read my letter to them, and join me in reminding anyone who will listen — and even some people you think might not — that the free, robust exchange of ideas has always been at the heart of American democracy. Together, we can make that true for generations to come.

While filming Working: What We Do All Day, I met Randi — a young woman working as a home care aide and raising her daughter in rural Mississippi. On a trip to the grocery store, Randi and I talked about her job, the challenges she faces, and how she finds purpose. Check out Randi’s story as part of @HigherGroundMedia’s Working: What We Do All Day, now streaming on Netflix.
From our family to yours, we hope you have a happy Fourth of July!
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of North Carolina voters in Moore v. Harper. They rejected the fringe independent state legislature theory that threatened to upend our democracy and dismantle our system of checks and balances by giving state legislatures near-total control of federal election laws.
This ruling is a resounding rejection of the far-right theory that has been peddled by election deniers and extremists seeking to undermine our democracy. And it makes clear that courts can continue defending voters’ rights — in North Carolina and in every state. Thanks to the National Redistricting Foundation and Eric Holder for helping make this happen.

Jim Crown was a pillar of Chicago who cared deeply about making our city a place where everybody can thrive. Michelle and I were also very lucky to call him a dear friend. We’re heartbroken today, and we send our love to Paula and their wonderful family in this difficult time.

While I was in Athens, I spent some time with a remarkable group of leaders from the @GirlsOpportunityAlliance who shared more about their work to educate and empower girls in their communities.
Thuba Sibanda, a leader from @PhysicallyActiveYouth in Namibia said something that stuck with me. She said: “When you hear of the mountain that someone else is climbing, you feel energized to climb your own mountain.” I’m inspired by the ways leaders like Thuba are creating a brighter future for girls—and ultimately, for all of us.

Around the world, @ObamaFoundation Leaders are working to help shape their communities for the better.
Last week, our latest group of Obama Leaders met in Athens, Greece to talk about their work, the challenges they’re facing, and what they’re hoping to do next.
