Happy Covenant Day, CNMI!
This Monday, we celebrate Covenant Day, a moment to reflect on the vision, foresight, and persistence of our founders, the meaning of choosing to be Americans, and the progress we’ve made since joining the American political family. But the Covenant is more than just a historic document—it’s a living commitment. To me, it’s both an ideal and a tool, one that survives through our actions and advocacy. It reminds us that our unique identity within the United States must be continually protected and uplifted. As we mark 49 years since the signing, it’s up to us to give life to this agreement, to defend our rights, and to stay true to the principles of self-government and self-determination—even when it’s hard. Here’s to honoring the past, meeting the moment, and continuing to define our future.
Happy Covenant Day, CNMI!
