Graduates, I'm Asking Each Of You, At Some Point, To Act Up, Be Misbehaved. Buck The System. Fight For What You Believe In. This Is The Time To Do It. You're The Ones To Do It. Your World, Is Like No Other Generation, You Actually Get To Create The World That You Can Imagine.

There Was No Mistake In Us Making Abortion Legal And Available On Demand. That Was What We Call Progress. Just Like It Was No Mistake That We Abolished Institutional Racism In This Country Around The Same Time. The Easy Thing To Do Is Lay Low, But Then Are We Who We Say We Are? Do We Actually Stand For Anything, If What We Do Stand For Is Under Attack And We Say Nothing? There Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of Here Except To Allow A Radical And Recessive Group Of People To Bully And Intimidate Our Mothers And Sisters And Daughters For Exercising Their Right Of Choice.
