"In moral crises, too often we overestimate their power and underestimate our own power...we should declare today that this reality is over and we should make a a fresh promise of our own, and that is that we will organize and we will fight for the soul of our democracy. We must unpack the greatest myth of our time, that is the notion that extreme policies only hurt a small subset of people such as people of color, or gay people or women or poor people. Extremism hurts us all!...
...Teachers, you just can't be concerned about education, because the people fighting you are not just concerned about education; see, the same people fighting you are the same people fighting against voting rights; the same people fighting voting rights are the same people fighting women's rights; the same people fighting women's rights are the same people fighting immigrants rights; the same people fighting immigrants rights are the same people fighting labor rights, so you and I must be smart enough to hook up....you hook up with an agenda..."
Our new MLK has arrived.
