FORMER VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS:
“…When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it as, you know, nature pours a vacuum, so where there’s a vacancy, then let’s fill it, right? And let’s know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has always been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights. We’re seeing a U-turn right now.
For those rights to be maintained, which means we have to be vigilant, and it’s just the nature of it. I mean, look at this beautiful play, and everything that we know he ended, and he was suppressed, he had to suppress so much, but he knew, and he, you know, he took those risks, but we have to be clear-eyed, and it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything, right? These things all co-exist, but I believe we fight for something, not against it, right?
And that’s our optimism, right?…”
