0:00.0 | Hi everyone. For those of you who don't know who I am, two years ago I was an |
0:04.8 | impartial researcher on my way to Australia to begin my career as a |
0:08.4 | professional long-border. Now I'm a ferocious advocate for truth, justice, and |
0:13.5 | rights to life for all beings. I want to start by quoting Josephine Baker, French |
0:19.3 | resistance agent, entertainer, and civil rights activist. In her speech at the |
