Excerpt from A Speech by Jill Ruckelshaus

We’re in for a very, very long haul…

I’m 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 occasionally…the 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 you’ve 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
