(GASPS)
What has fueled my passion for change
is righteous indignation at injustice.
Anybody can be an agent of change.
All it really takes is finding what you feel most passion about.
I don't care what it is. It doesn't have to be a thing I care about.
If it is an issue
that stirs your passion,
and by working on it
you can contribute to the greater good
- including for those
who you do not necessarily like,
politically or ideologically -
I think everybody should volunteer a couple of hours a month.
People think that if they can't tackle all the world's problems
and make it all better overnight, there's no purpose.
I totally disbelieve that.
I believe that every action
really does contribute to change.
The power that each and every one of us has to decide
whether we want to be participants in creating the world we live in,
or we choose - and this is also a choice that we pretend isn't -
we CHOOSE to do nothing.
People say, "I'm not interested in politics."
Every single thing we do is politics.
The interaction of human beings is politics writ large.
I believe that we have to feel
empowered to make that choice.
If we choose to feel passion
about something and do nothing,
you have chosen to do nothing.
Believe me, there are other people who will step into that gap,
take your power and use it to accomplish what they want.
