Discussion on racial justice. Here is Actress Eva Longoria leading off the first day of the convention. Ms. Longoria good evening. And eva longoria guest on welcome to the 2020 Democratic National convention, uniting america. Every four years we come together to unite our democracy. This year we come to save it. It is going to take all of us, so tonight we stand together united by the values we cherish decency, respect, justice, and the opportunity to rise up. We always hear that line about this being the most important election of our lifetimes, but this year, it really is. The past few months have tested us all. We have lost more than 170,000 family members and friends to covid. This tragedy is compounded by the loss of jobs and income. But it is not just the past few months.
