We will come away today and continue to do the work in our own backyards with our local politicians.

We are the ones coming up in the world and we must continue to push this movement forward and close the gap. I am also inspired by the masses of all the young people here today, the younger generation, my generation. I know that some of you have been fighting and doing advocacy work that stems all the way back to the Stonewall riots, and I salute you. I am humbled to stand before all of you here today.
I have seen and witnessed so many things over the past two years, and I can say with such certainty that this is the single most important moment of my career.
