A few final thoughts. In this great struggle, here are some things that don't matter:
§ What we wear.
§ Whether we shake our fists or make peace signs.
§ Whether we can fit our dreams for a better world into a media soundbite.
And here are a few things that do matter.
§ Our courage.
§ Our moral compass.
§ How we treat each other.
We have picked a fight with the most powerful economic and political forces on the planet. That's frightening. And as this movement grows from strength to strength, it will get more frightening. Always be aware that there will be a temptation to shift to smaller targets - like, say, the person sitting next to you at this meeting. After all, that is a battle that's easier to win.
Don't give in to the temptation. I'm not saying don't call each other on stuff. But this time, let's treat each other as if we plan to work side by side in struggle for many, many years to come. Because the task before will demand nothing less. Let's treat this beautiful movement as if it is most important thing in the world. Because it is. It really is.”
