Nick Brana speaks at the 15th Annual Human Rights Awards Banquet "Resisting Oppression and Building Alternatives" (Partial Transcript) Hello everyone! So I know I'm in good company when the evening starts off by celebrating the universal declaration of human rights, probably the most advanced document that we've produced collectively together. So it's just great to do that, and it's great to be in everybody's company tonight. I want to thank Richard (Hobbs), I want to thank Malinda (Markowitz) and Cesar (Juarez Ruiz) and everyone, and all of the distinguished award recipients tonight and everyone who came as well and everyone who's here, and they've just been been speaking to people, leading the charge for really progressive issues in their own way. I was really honored and really grateful to be asked to come and speak. I was particularly grateful because Human Agenda is part of an emerging 21st century consciousness that looks beyond political ideologies and recognizes that basic human well being is something that has scientific determinants, it is something empirical, it can be measured and that’s to say that public health is a question of discernible means. We need air, we need water, we need nutritious food, warmth and shelter in the form of clothing. A place to live, a roof over our heads, education as well to nurture our minds and time to take care of those things as well. And human well being is therefore a direct function of society's ability to satisfy those needs. And so, the political arguments that we hear are so far from that discussion. those ideologies, the actual determinants of human needs that I've heard tonight here and then I heard Richard speak about it in Minneapolis for the first time when I was there for a Democracy convention. And it's also an understanding that drives the new political party that myself and that tens of thousands of others are working to build right now with Movement For a People's Party. We began as Draft Bernie for a People’s Party aiming to get Bernie Sanders to start a new party and we have since morphed into Movement For a People's Party because that original campaign inspired so much support and enthusiasm inside the progressive movement. And so, tonight, I wanted to try to place all of our efforts in the context of human history because in many ways I think that we find ourselves at a crossroads. The peril of our situation has never been greater but neither has the opportunity or the promise. We live at this intersection and this crescendo of so many different convergent trends and forces in society, some of them decades and centuries, even, in the making. For example, since we are in Silicon Valley and probably a lot of people who will know about this, but for hundreds of years, the found ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvBrm2onZfA
