Bernie - change comes from bottom up

Here's a 40 second clip from Bernies speech two weeks ago, after Renee Good was murdered.

"These are dangerous times, but we must never forget this. Real change has never
come from the top on down. It has always come from ordinary people standing
together, protesting, organizing and fighting for justice.

"Democracy is not something that we inherit, it is something that we fight for. And if we do that, if we stay engaged, if we stay united, we will not only defeat authoritarianism and oligarchy, we will build a country that finally works for all of us, not just the few.

"Thank you very much".

Change comes from the bottom up. When people are engaged, when they stand together united and organized, they can accomplish anything. History says so.

"Take a sweeping look at our history and you will discover that almost all movements that mattered started with just one or two people - from the fight to abolish slavery, to the creations of the environmental, trade union, consumer protection and civil rights movements. One voice becomes two, and then ten, and then thousands.”— Ralph Nader
