Now, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. These past two years have been tough. Higher prices, more wars, corruption and lawlessness. But we hung in there, fought back. It felt like mission impossible. We knew it was mission necessary. And tonight, sisters and brothers, because of your tireless work, we can proudly utter the inspiring battle cry of our beloved and departed sister and warrior, Dolores Cuerta. Si se puede! Yes we can! Si se puede! Yes we can! Yes we did! We fought!
