Our ObamaFoundation Leaders are working hard to tackle some of our toughest challenges. It was great having some of them join TrevorNoah and me on TheDailyShow to share more about their work.

Today at the ObamaFoundation Democracy Forum, we brought together leaders from around the world to share ideas and discuss ways to strengthen democracy. When we think about how to protect, preserve, and improve democracy, we have to find a language, a story, of how we can affirm the best of traditional values, create a space for our differences, while insisting that our politics and governmental institutions uphold the overarching principles of equality for all people. As always, what gives me hope is the next generation of leaders coming up – young people who understand what’s at stake and are ready to do the work. Today I’m happy to announce that, in addition to our Obama Foundation Leaders programs in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Europe, we’ll be launching a new and expanded Leaders United States program in the coming months that can help more young people put their idealism to work. Michelle and I are proud to support so many of these young leaders through our work at the Obama Foundation.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi will go down as one of most accomplished legislators in American history—breaking barriers, opening doors for others, and working every day to serve the American people. I couldn’t be more grateful for her friendship and leadership.

Among MichelleObama's many talents is the fact that she is a fantastic writer. In her new book, The Light We Carry, she shares the tools and lessons she’s learned that help her navigate times of uncertainty. It's a book you'll want to go back to over and over again.

Thanks to all those who have proudly served our country in uniform, and the families who have served alongside them. We owe you so much—on Veterans Day, and every day.

For democracy to thrive, we need to tell better stories about ourselves, and how we can live together despite our differences. On November 17th, I'll be joining global leaders working to protect democracy at our ObamaFoundation #DemocracyForum. Learn more at the link in my bio.
