15 years ago today, our campaign won the Iowa caucuses. I’ll always be grateful to the people who organized across the state, and built the relationships that made it all possible. I recently sat down with six organizers to talk about that time and what they’ve been up to since.

Kwanzaa is a time to celebrate the richness of African American culture and heritage. As the Obamas said in 2016, Kwanzaa's seven principles are also the shared values that bind us all together. From our family to yours, may the light of #Kwanzaa bring happiness to your home.
Happy Kwanzaa graphic with bright golds, reds, and blue hues. It reads: "May your celebration be filled with hope, unity, and togetherness." The Obama.org logo is on the right side of the graphic.
Graphic that reads the seven principles of Kwanzaa: unity, self-determination, collective work & responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
