of how people in these other generations that we've been talking about today and in other periods of regress, how they worked, how they built coalitions, how they existed in the world, how they fought. And more than anything, that long view of history and understanding, yes, we have been here before. We have been in places like this and generations before us because of their willingness
to think creatively and connectively with other people, to talk about inequity, injustice, and to find a mode of fighting that made sense and a way to stiffen their own spines when it felt impossible, they enabled us to get here. You know, they enabled the victories that these people are now trying to and succeeding in many cases at snatching away from us. And they do not.
That is why they're banning books. That is why they're attacking universities. They do not want the people to understand that there are millions of paths forward for us still. Even if you do not want to be extroverted in the world, it is a mode of resistance to go and read the books they don't want you to read, to go and learn about the past that they would prefer you not learn about.
And that's a very introverted path forward too.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
