Good evening, bienvenidos and
thank you to everyone here today
endeavouring towards a better, more just
future for our country and our world,
in fidelity and gratitude to a mass
people's movement working to establish
21st century social, economic
and human rights
including guaranteed health care,
higher education, living wages
and labour rights for all people
in the United States.
A movement striving to recognise and
repair the wounds of racial injustice,
colonisation, misogyny and homophobia
and to propose and build reimagined
systems of immigration and foreign policy
that turn away from the violence
and xenophobia of our past.
A movement that realises
the unsustainable brutality
of an economy that rewards explosive
inequalities of wealth for the few
at the expense of long-term stability
for the many,
and who organised a historic grassroots
campaign to reclaim our democracy
in a time when millions of people
in the United States are looking
for deep systemic solutions to our crises
of mass evictions, unemployment
and lack of health care.
In el espirito del pueblo and
out of a love for all people,
I hereby second the nomination of
senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont
for president of the United States of America.
