“We’re seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped, resources to fight the climate crisis being cut for fossil fuels and animal agriculture destroying our planet, and people’s access to food and health care becoming a privilege for the wealthy instead of a new basic human right for all Americans,” she continued. “It is very clear that protecting our planet and our communities is not a priority for this administration. And it’s really hard to celebrate that when we no longer feel safe in our own homes or in our streets.”
Billie went on to say that say that she’s starting to feel more hopeful thanks to the fellow honorees and guests in attendance at the ceremony.
“I am so inspired by all the stories and the other honorees tonight and everyone in this room,” the Oscar-winner said, “and I’m grateful to everyone and for the huge community of people who are taking action centered on Dr. King’s message.”
“I just want to thank my mom, both my parents, for raising me the way they did. I wouldn’t be doing any of this without you, Mom,” Billie added. “I have this platform and I think it’s my responsibility to use it, so I feel like I’m just doing what anyone in my position should be doing.”
