Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave a passionate speech in response to Republican opposition to her climate change proposal. The Green New Deal, which was voted down, aims to virtually eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and calls for the US to shift away from fossil fuels and lessen social inequity. Republicans say the plan would devastate the economy and lead to a huge tax increase, while Democrats stress that climate change is deadly serious, leading to catastrophic floods, wildfires and hurricanes.

“He shot her ten times. Ten times. He shot her in the top of her head, he shot her in the heart, he shot her in the spine. If she had survived she would’ve been paralysed, she’s a competitive soccer player. She was only 14 years old, she had so much to give to the world, she was one of the great ones.” Alyssa Alhadeff was one of the victims of the Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas on February 14th 2018. Lori has since dedicated her time into gun reform.

I have such deep respect for the prime minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern for being such an exemplary leader. She demonstrated strength, empathy, justice, wisdom and maturity at an extremely pivotal time. She vowed to "absolutely deny" giving the mosque gunman a platform, the AP reported. Instead she said, speaking to Parliament, "I implore you: speak the names of those who were lost, rather than the name of the man who took them. He may have sought notoriety but we in New Zealand we will give him nothing. Not even his name.

A year ago today, I took the stage in front of over 800,000 people, I was really nervous, but I knew I had something to say – something I wanted to add to the conversation that was deeply personal and important to me.
Growing up as a girl of color redefines your view of America and I am not alone. Every day, I witness young girls of color exercising their power to take a stand and bring about change in their community.
We are innovators, writers, scientists, designers, students, athletes and much, much more. We have the ability to defy expectations, to dream big and achieve big.
Somedays, I don’t like how I look or how I feel. If you’re like me, sometimes you may feel like you’re not enough – smart enough, friendly enough, funny enough – but I am here to tell you that you are.
YOU are enough. We have to lift each other up just as much as the world sometimes lets us down.
On stage in D.C., I was representing Courtlin Arrington, Hadiya Pendelton, Taiyania Thompson – young black women who had been victims of gun violence in their communities. I want to acknowledge the American girls whose stories don’t make the front page of every national newspaper or don't lead on the evening news. And I still stand for them.
We have to let the world know that enough is enough. Every voice matters. And if people say you’re too young or that you’re repeating what an adult has told you, tell them like I do that I may be young, but I also have an opinion and a voice. We know the difference between right and wrong and one day – sometime soon – we’ll be able to vote and run for office. Let’s stand in our power and be the changemakers we already are.

Enough.
