It has always been in our nation’s darkest chapters that our brightest
lights emerge.

And we — each and every one of us, whether we like it not — are living
history today.

From our nation’s beginning, American democracy has always reflected the
struggle between humanity’s highest and lowest natures: between subjects
and citizens, the Confederacy and the Union, freedom and bondage, labor
and capital rights and regimes.

It is no different today.

The struggle of our time today is the single most unjust concentration of
wealth in the hands of the very few, unseen in our nation’s and the
world’s history.

It is a time in which demanding what should be considered the most basic
tenets of human dignity is considered a radical and outlandish act.

It is a time such as today, when demanding affordable housing and decent
wages is considered a radical and outlandish act.
That we could afford our lives, our groceries, our transit? Is considered
a radical and outlandish act.
That we accept our neighbor as ourselves? A radical and outlandish act.

We must remember in times such as this: we are not the crazy ones. We are
not the outlandish ones.

They want us to think we are crazy — we are sane.

To demand affordable housing, a decent wage, the right to healthcare, that
we pay to care for our people instead of the flattening of Palestinians
and oppressed people abroad is not a radical act — it is basic and core
humanity.

We will send a loud message to President Donald Trump: his
authoritarianism is no good here.

We will send a message to ICE: that secret police do not belong here.

When I think about what is happening throughout our nation today, and what
Donald Trump has done in his demolition of the White House — we must let
him know:

That house doesn’t belong to him. It belongs to us. It belongs to the
people of this country.

There has been a day before this presidency, and there will be a day
after.

And it belongs to us.
