It’s not over.
Millions of us marched before you and millions of us stand behind you.
We are the forest and the trees,
roots entangled beneath the soil,
holding hands,
a resilience that connects us in the dark.
It’s not over.
The past is powerless.
Not victims, but veterans
we’re called to be the heroes of our own story,
an army that asks “who is the leader?”
and responds to itself: “It’s you. It’s me. It’s us.”
You are not alone.
From this day on, we break the silence that has held us captive in our own bodies.
From this day on, if we have a voice, we’ll use it.
And if you do, I’ll speak up too.
If you stand up, #metoo.
If you raise your hand, #metoo.
If you speak up, #metoo.
This is just beginning.
