Today, President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100.
Over the summer, my Dad and I had a conversation about President Carter. What was the secret to his long life? My Dad had settled on the fact that President Carter never stopped working, never stopped serving others.
A lot of things happen in 100 years.
Minds change, people change.
But one thing President Carter always was and always will be, is right on ending the war on drugs and fighting for those on the margins.
Drug Policy
Called for an end to the war on drugs alongside members of Congress.
Criminal Justice
A fierce advocate for criminal justice reform and care for those on the margins throughout his post-presidency.
Human Rights
A lifelong champion of human rights who made dignity a centerpiece of his public life.
He was simply not appreciated because he was too forward thinking for the time. Perhaps he still is.
May we all be so brave to believe in the good in others.
Rest In Peace, President Carter.
Rest In Peace, President Carter.
