Today on Loving Day, we honor Mildred and Richard Loving — a Virginia couple whose courage and determination changed the country.

Their Supreme Court victory ended bans on interracial marriage, and their legacy lives on in every fight for equality and justice we pursue today.

"Earlier this month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration projected that nearly 40,000 people died on America’s roads in 2024. That number is not just tragic; it is a policy failure."
