1
Now let me bring to the stage a sister beloved who has stood up on these issues.
2
She's shown up where she was needed and spoke out on what needed to be said.
3
Whether it was at the Neely funeral in Harlem, whether it was remembering Miss Colvin,
4
who many forgot that was the first to be arrested for sitting in the front of a bus, as Martin said.
5
She was there, and she has openly been there for all of the issues we're concerned about.
6
May I bring to you, I know people, I was Shirley Chisholm's youth director at 17,
7
and she had the same fire and vigor in this young sister beloved of mine,
8
Congresswoman from New York City, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocaso-Cortez.
9
Good afternoon everyone.
10
How are we doing today?
11
My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and I am so honored to be here today.
12
Sixty-three years ago, hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered right here and changed the course of our nation's history.
13
But what made that day possible began long before anyone arrived in Washington.
14
Before postal workers, professors, domestics,
15
and organizers gathered here, they started to build something together at home.
16
Before a movement changed the law, it organized to build power.
17
And before America could realize a new vision of freedom,
18
the people had to first imagine it and refuse to let it go.
19
That took a particular kind of prophetic genius.
20
moral clarity to know what we, the people, deserve.
21
The vision to see what America can become.
22
And the strategy to bring it all together.
23
That prophetic genius was everywhere in the movement that built this march.
24
Bayard Rustin, Ella Baker, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
25
Dorothy Height, and one of my personal heroes, A.
26
Philip Randolph.
27
You see, A.
28
Philip Randolph understood something radical, that black freedom, civil freedom,
29
and all of our full freedom requires economic freedom.
30
Because if we cannot exercise our most basic rights, a shelter to grow a family in, food to sustain our lives,
31
and an education with which to flourish, then it is no freedom at all.
32
It is tyranny.
33
Randolph taught that racial injustice wasn't only enforced through civil segregation.
34
It was enforced through an economy that depended on black labor while denying black workers their fair share.
35
Randolph organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters against one of the most powerful corporations in the United States.
36
And by 1963, Randolph and
37
so many others had brought hundreds of thousands of people to Washington to demand
38
that America finally deliver on its promise of freedom.
39
He put it plainly, freedom is never granted, it is won.
40
Justice is never given, it is exacted.
41
Brothers and sisters, these drum majors for justice, just as you all and countless others today, were not handed a movement.
42
have always had to build one.
43
And when they came here 63 years ago, they came with demands.
44
They demanded the right to vote, an end to segregation and fair housing.
45
They demanded a federal jobs program, a higher minimum wage, and an end to discrimination in employment.
46
Because together, those words carried a profound idea, the March on Washington for jobs and freedom.
47
That freedom is both political and economic.
48
And that movement changed what was possible in this country.
49
We got the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
50
And that is what paved the way for Head Start, Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance.
51
Because the Civil Rights Movement is the foundation for a great society, a new era of social and economic progress.
52
That was an extraordinary achievement, and we are living in the legacy of it today.
53
But their vision went further than their victories.
54
Because America may have agreed to open the lunch counter, but it never committed to us affording the meal.
55
And that is our work today as we defend the foundation that our foremothers and forefathers built.
56
You see, they gave us a piece of the freedom, but 63 years later, we are still fighting to afford it.
57
America is wealthier today than it has ever been, and yet millions of Americans work every day to struggle to afford the basics.
58
This is not simply an economic failure.
59
It is a moral and structural one, and we must refuse to accept it.
60
So let's be clear about the country that we are fighting for.
61
We the people demand full, protected, and restored voting rights in the United States of America.
62
We the people know that
63
that means we must respond to the arsonists redistricting the South with an organizing legislative
64
and civil strategy of our own to dismantle their injustice
65
and liberate the potential of our full civil liberties in all 50 states of the United States of America.
66
We the people demand guaranteed health care for every American as a right and not a privilege.
67
We, the people of the United States of America,
68
demand that one One job with no need for overtime should be enough for our most basic needs,
69
which also include rest.
70
And we must recognize that
71
that can only happen in an economy where black women are not the first to be pushed out
72
and the last to be brought back in.
73
There is nothing new about these demands.
74
They belong to the same fight and the same heritage that many gathered here 63 years ago.
75
And we are not alone.
76
Just as it was then, our ability to win depends on our ability to vote.
77
Republicans know this.
78
That is why the Supreme Court's decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act matters so much.
79
Because they know that when black Americans exercise their full political power, we unlock progress for all of America.
80
And that is what they are trying to hold back.
81
But there is a tide rising in this country, brothers and sisters.
82
They can put obstacles in our path, but they cannot turn us back around.
83
And this November, the first of many tides is coming.
84
Coming to respond to every right they are trying to take.
85
And it is coming to fulfill the promise that hundreds of thousands of heroes carried to these grounds six decades ago.
86
It is now our turn to summon that collective genius.
87
To look beyond the limits of this one moment.
88
And to see further.
89
To demand more.
90
to organize toward the future we know is possible.
91
The tide is coming, and this time we intend to win it all.
92
Thank you very much, and I'll see you out in the streets.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
