Excerpt from A Speech by Jill Ruckelshaus
Were in for a very, very long haul
Im asking for Everything you have to give
We will never give up
You will lose your Youth, your Sleep
your Patience, your Sense of Humor,
and occasionallythe understanding and support
of people that you Love very much
In Return, I have nothing to offer you but
Your Pride in being a woman, and
all your Dreams youve ever had for your daughters,
and nieces, and granddaughters
Your Future
and the certain Knowledge that
at the end of your days,
you will be able to look back and say that
Once in your life,
you gave Everything you had
for Justice
