Tonight is about joy. American history our common history is a testimony to taking on the insurmountable and achieving the impossible that should bring us joy. Our progress never ever came easy. But in America We do hard things. We built labor unions and small businesses. We created great public education. And world changing innovation. We nurtured. The best athletes and artists. Humanity has ever seen, and we kept the promise of Medicare and Social Security for our seniors. Look at who we are. Against bigotry and hate, we advanced equal rights for all Americans, civil rights workers' rights, LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights. The right to marry who you love. The right to be free. We did all of this. In a way that didn't pit American against American. We did this by healing rifts by bridging divides. By pulling people together. And all the while we in this nation lived up to our calling and our creed. To be a more perfect union. To make this one nation under God. A little more indivisible. Now you all know this. Trump betrays these ideals. He viciously attacks Democrats and Republicans. has put downs no no shame. John McCain's military service. Nikki Haley's heritage. Women People with disabilities, trans people are veterans. He is indiscriminate and is put downs. His is the politics of smear and fear, not inspiration. And elevation. Donald Trump speaks more of American carnage. That American compassion. But in America, You can't lead the people. If you don't love the people. Oh, the people. Now our nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walsh, they bring the joy. Think about it. They're descendants of immigrants, shopkeepers, slaves, educators, people who faced pain. With perseverance. People who met hate with love. They are the living dreams of their ancestors. But look in this arena, look around you right now. We are all our ancestors' wildest dreams. Generations who faced impossible odds. And that responded to every one of their challenges with that classic American creed. Yes we can. So there are doubters out there. There are people that doubt our collective strength. They want to tell us how bad we are. They want to say that they alone can save us. Well, we know that the power of the people is greater than the people in power, and we're not. We're not going to lose our faith. Look, I want everybody in here. To let us all say it together. I believe in America. Let me hear you. Believe in America. I believe in America because our soldiers died on beaches and battlefields. They died at sea and in the air so that we could be free today. And say together I believe in America. I believe in America because our fighters fought at Stonewall, or marchers marched in Selma. Delegates met at Seneca Falls. Every single one of them believed in America. Even when America didn't believe in them. Say it with me now. I believe in America because King dared to dream the impossible dream, because Neil Armstrong went to impossible heights and because when we elect Kamala Harris. There is not a boy or girl in America from any creed, color, or heritage that will ever think being President of the United States is impossible again. Ah. Say it with me. I believe in America, the land of hope and heroism. I believe in America, the land of courage and compassion. I believe in America where we share common ground and common cause and one common destiny, and let me tell you, if you believe in America, if you love in America, then you will work for America. And when we work together, When we stand together when we organize together when we vote together, I will tell you this when we fight, we win.
