Honestly I struggle with posting my speeches. I want to deliver them to you myself, in my voice, standing in a room or in sunlight. On the other hand, how can I share what I want to say, have to say, want you to know. I do not approve of all this patricrchal language but I am not a person who merely tells what should not be but offers the alternative. I do not like declaring war or fight back as that all will end up in the woof and warp of us. Today I choose to declare PEACE on Women and everyone including Mother Earth herself.

Good Morning Buenos Dias
I am so proud to be here with you today.
I am in love with equality and you are too
It is just that simple.
Welcome to this moment
Welcome to the place our opponents fear the most.
Where we have drawn a line
We have drawn the line to say enough is enough
When we rise up together to say enough is enough
In all 50 states We UNITE to say, enough is enough.
Welcome to this moment
We are women and men who demand equality
We are LGBT who demand equality
We are First Nation who demand equality
We are First Immigrants who demand equality
We are the 99% who demand equality under the law.
Welcome to this moment
when the majority sees their power,
seizes their power,
exercises their power
The moment of UNITY has arrived
when we refuse to be divided, diminished, dismissed.
Welcome to this moment
The whole of Mother Earth is calling for change.
The forces are collecting
The tipping point has arrived
From Egypt to Wall Street, from India to Mexico
The people are rising up and uniting for change
Welcome to this moment
Throw open your arms, be of good cheer,
we have found one another as never before
I am in love with equality and you are too
It is just that simple.
Today Let Us declare:
Peace on Women
Peace on Immigrants
Peace on Queers
Peace on Workers
Peace on the Poor
Peace on America
Peace on Earth
As usual, I can hear you saying those words and the smile upon your face-you write and you speak to me.
thank you
