 Every single one of us were written a check, okay, as Dr. King said. And we're here today to cash in on that check. We are tired of the 1% taking everything that those of us who are here have, you know, our parents have lived and died for. Those of us who are here alive and get ignored. Those of us who are denied health care, health services. Those of us who have been treated like second-class citizens our entire lives. Those of us who have, you know, who have just been asking just for just a reasonable shake, if you will, you know. And I think part of that, let me tell you why it is, is because there is a moral narrative in this nation. That somehow or another doesn't really speak to poverty. Never really had, right? When you start thinking about, you know, $800 billion that are being dropped, being dropped into the military on an annual basis. $800 billion on an annual basis. What is that? And why they get away with it, is because government regulations have been relaxed or not even implemented to be able to keep them from doing so. And what happens is, is that these impact, this pollution, this toxicity impacts those folks who are poor and who are black and brown around the globe. Right? I think it's just been far too long that we remain silent about some of these things. And some of us, we're just becoming aware of some of these things. And what we've done is we've chosen to remain silent, but I came to tell you today that when Dr. King said it's time to break the silence, I think what he was saying is, he said, you know, it's time for you to stop thinking about whether you're gonna be ridiculed. It's time for you to stop thinking about whether you're going to be single out, okay? Whether you're going to, whether somebody is going to try to give you an opposing opinion or whether it make you feel bad or maybe your family is gonna disown you or all of the other things that folks wrestle with when they're trying to stand up against things like systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation in the war economy. At some point or another, we as the people have to come together and make a conscious decision that we are not going to be silent anymore. We have to speak out on this at some point or another. All right, all right, all right. In a national call for a moral revival, people are standing up in 35 to 40 states to include the United States capitals right now, right now, with these types of signs, singing these songs that we're singing with this message on ecological devastation. We have access, same together, that we are not going to take it anymore. Keep on talking, marching on the freedom land. We shall not give up the fight we are fighting. We have only started, we shall not give up the choice. We have only started, we have only started. We have only started, we have only started. We have only started. We have only started. When a mass of people come to like this, it just drops people who are trying to hurt. It drops 10 people. We're brilliant. And all we can, and all there will have to be, we have only started.
