frederick of -- for a big douglas -- frederick douglass said power never has conceded anything but demand and tell the mental-health community is willing to stand up, be counted, and demand equal treatment and care, we will never get to where we want to go. like the labor movement and the civil rights movement, we are going to create the demand for sharing -- for everyone to be able to do the job they want to do and they are already doing. he is not good to happen with all of you. -- it is likely to happen without all of you. every time a person next to improve the lives of others, they sent forced a ripple of hope -- sent forth a ripple of hope. those create a current that can knock on the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. we can do this, not alone, but we can do it together. i have learned in recovery that half measures of the only nothing. we need to be in this all the way. with the committed audience icl there today, we will be successful in getting the job done. thank you very much.
