    As says, “no democracy is perfect, and no democracy is ever final.” That’s the beauty. We, the people, are in the driver’s seat. We get to decide where we go next—together. That’s what makes a democracy.

    In the face of a pandemic that has disrupted business operations worldwide, the companies we honor with the Secretary’s Award for Corporate Excellence this year have not only sustained but strengthened their resolve to empower communities to build back better.

    On the challenges we face -- from ending the COVID-19 pandemic to responding to the climate crisis -- we need American business to play a role. Today, I was honored to recognize U.S. companies who are putting their resources to work in finding and scaling solutions.

    Gutted by the news of Fred Hiatt’s passing. We have lost one of the strongest and most forceful human rights defenders of our time—to say nothing of a thoughtful writer and editor, a devoted husband and father, and an all-around good man. I will miss him—and his voice—dearly.
