Dear Friends,

It’s the eve of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence!

As we reflect on our nation’s history, the importance of considering how the United States’ history isn’t framed by the Battles at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 or the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 is key. For me and so many in Lexington, our right to birthright citizenship came from United States v. Wong Kim Arm (1898)—reaffirmed less than a week ago by the Supreme Court.

As of today, I’m the same age Alexander Hamilton was in 1776! This past year has been an incredible experience, especially with all of your collaboration, and I’m looking forward to what 21 brings. Thank you to all of you!

TOMORROW: I’m honored to be part of leading and speaking at the community reading of the Declaration of Independence tomorrow morning! I look forward to seeing many of you there!

I’m reading the Boston Globe’s coverage as if they were around in 1776 today—check it out here!

I’m working on updating my website at votekunal.com with more information and resources about what’s happening. Do you have any suggestions on what I should include?

Happy Fourth!
