Proclamation 10140 of January 20, 2021

The President
A National Day of Unity By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation I am humbled before God and my fellow Americans to take the sacred oath of President of our beloved country.
Today, we celebrate the triumph of democracy after an election that saw more Americans voting than ever before in our Nations history, and where the will of the people has been heard and heeded.
We do so at a moment of great peril and promise for our Nation. A oncein-a-century deadly pandemic. A historic and deepening economic crisis.
Calls for racial justice some 400 years in the making. A climate crisis with force and fury. We also feel the rise in political extremism and domestic terrorismunleashed just days ago on our Capitol, the citadel of freedom, but brewing long beforethat we must confront and defeat.
Yet in this dire moment, democracy prevailed. On this day, we set our sights on the Nation we know we can and must be. I am honored to do so alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, the first woman who has taken the oath to serve in elected national office, and who will not be the last. Together, we know that to overcome the challenges before all of us, to restore the soul of America, requires the beating heart of a democracy:
Unity.
With unity, we can save lives and beat this pandemic. We can build our economy back better and include everyone. We can right wrongs and root out systemic racism in our country. We can confront the climate crisis with American jobs and ingenuity. We can protect our democracy by seeing each other not as adversaries but as fellow Americans. For the world to see, with unity we can lead not just by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.
As we start the hard work to be done, I pray this moment gives us the strength to rebuild this house of ours upon a rock that can never be washed away. And, as in the Prayer of St. Francis, for where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith, where there is darkness, light.
