We have to save our democracy, save our system of justice, but we do so at the kitchen table.

Jobs, health care, education, housing, which I consider a health issue.

But that is not to diminish the necessity of us to get the rest of these files, to satisfy the concerns of the—we call them survivors.

They're so strong.

It's so—

So articulate in making their case.

They're a great asset for justice in America.

And we will not stop until that job is done.

Well, let me just say this.

Let me tell you this little story.

Some years ago, before I was in leadership, I was asked by a school in San Francisco, the New School of Law in San Francisco, to have a reception at my home, a benefit for the school.

The guest of honor was going to be Anita Hill.

We got such a tremendous turnout from people that I know who never came to a political event for me.

You know, they just are not involved in any of that.

But they came and they came and they came to it.

And what I learned was that people that I knew very well, my neighbors and friends, had been victims of some kind of abuse.

And you would never know it to see their success and their this and their that, but they had survived that.

And I think that part of the public concern about this is that women can relate to it.

So I would warn the Republicans not to make light of this.

This is deadly serious, as we know, and we just will persist.
