by coming here today we are sending a powerful message. we will not let anything or anyone divide us. we will not see control of our country to corruption, greed, and the powerful interests. we will keep showing up, and we will keep fighting back. the fight ahead may seem daunting, but there is hope when we look down at our feet and see whose shoulders we stand on. we all have heroes that inspire us in this struggle. my grandmother polly noonan was one of mine. she would have been proud standing here today with all of you. she was larger than life.
