 Hello. Hello. We got some new guests in the house. My name is Jeff Caesar. I'm the Outreach Director of Rights and Democracy. I want to thank you all again for coming here today. This is an exceptional opportunity, a phenomenal event for us to really galvanize behind, you know, the people all throughout the state, and bring us together in a common platform. It's really a wonder of technology that we're able to do this today. Speaking of wonders. Okay. Ready? Hi. My name is Emma Spett. I live in Burlington, Vermont, and I'm a volunteer with Rights and Democracy. Hi. My name is Jessica Early. I am a nurse, a nurse practitioner, and I am also Rights and Democracy's healthcare justice organizer. Hi. I'm Shannon Jackson. I'm the Executive Director of R-Revolution. Hi. I'm Brandon Churchill. I'm Brittany Nevins, and I'm the Co-Chair for Rights and Democracy here in Vermont. I'm Al Walski. I live in Berkshire, Vermont. Hi. I'm Shelley Rinaldi. I came down with Al, and I am from Bakersfield, Vermont. Hi. I'm Kyle Rosenblatt. I live in Manuski. My name is Glenn Tallton, and I live in the Old North End of Burlington. I'm just a few blocks away from here. And we just finished our Democracy Summer Kickoff, Protests to Power, where we are working on building the movement throughout the summer so we can get ready for the legislative session. And so we can build leaders who can run for office. This is the time that we forget about that's extremely important, and so we need everyone to get involved and do all that they can. I'm here today because I'm excited to take all of the energy that was made clear during the Women's March and the People's Climate March and channel that into really tangible and important change in our community, that in the form of new organizers or new legislation or programs that allow progress to happen here in our state. I'm here to actually support everybody who is speaking tonight and this organization, and I live way up in Bakersfield, and we don't have many people who get plugged into things locally, so I'm anxious to listen to the speakers. And I was very pleased to be a part of the Rights and Democracies Summer Democracy Program launch. Our revolution is organizing all around the nation. We have 265 groups and many partners, and Rights and Democracies is one of the ones we're most proud of. They are active on campaigns, whether it's been issues or candidates or large motion, large movements. I'm going to be speaking at this wonderful Democracy Summer Kickoff tonight about what we can do here in Vermont to move forward with a health care system that covers everyone and provides access to high quality care when and where people need it. It was a pleasure being here today to be with them during the live stream event where probably more than 50, 60 people here in the Burlington event. There was 12 or 13 events taking place throughout the state, and I think this is exactly what the political movement is. It's about bringing people together to rally around the cause and to fight for the values that we view as human rights, whether it's education for all or health care as a human right or taking care of our planet. The mission of our revolution is very much in line with the mission of Rights and Democracies, and I look forward to working together to progress this. I'm here to support keeping or increasing our health care benefits and stopping us from losing social security and those types of benefits. I'm a veteran, disabled American veteran, and I get support from the government, but I want everyone to have health care. I'm down here because health care is very important to me. Without health care, I wouldn't be here today. I came down basically for the same reason. Without good health care, I wouldn't be here today either. I'm lucky enough to have insurance through my husband's company, but my friends do not, and so I'm here for them and anyone else who needs health care. And I'm here to stand up and speak out against what the Trump administration is trying to do and let them know that there are sincere people here in this country who love the rest of the people around us and are not just concerned about the 1%. And I'm here because I think given the regressive and unjust policies that are emerging at the national level, it's more important than ever to focus on advancing progressive causes at the state level, like climate justice, social justice, economic justice, equity-financed health care for all, and you name it. So I'm very impressed with what everybody's doing at Rights and Democracies and our revolution and all these groups, and I'm kind of a newbie, so I'm going to go figure out how I can do something a little more productive. Hi, how are you? My name is Jeffrey Cesar. I want to thank everyone for joining us today. I'm over-excited that we had such a phenomenal event in that the voice of the people, it's really becoming a conversation that is being taken seriously on a much more substantive level. So over the next few years, we're going to take it over. Thank you.
