"have clean drinking water. They're never going to be checked on the fact that they're polluting our communities in a way where I have a father with six-year-old twins that has to put them in a breathing machine because literally they live in the shadows as one of the most awful corporate polluters in the state of Michigan. That ain't right! You know, the climate crisis, Doc, as a direct result of unchecked corporate greed. For decades, we know this, for decades, corporate polluters have poisoned our neighborhoods, putting profits over people's lives. We've seen it, and it's just the latest in the long line of loopholes and handouts for big oil executives to get richer while the rest of us get sicker. You know, a lot of our folks on the state level say, well, we have a public hearing about an air permit. But do you know what my folks, my residents call that state environmental agency? Permission to pollute agency. They're tired of it. And I know I'm tired of so many of the corporate polluters raking in the record profits while frontline communities like mine and Detroit and Dearborn and Wayne County communities struggle to breathe clean air. And in order to pay for these tax cuts for the billionaires and CEOs, they want to rip health care away from millions of our families. Shame on them. I just want you to think about this. They're playing the resident The community is paying the toll, getting sicker while we subsidize the fact that we have sick care in our country, the fact that many of our folks can't even afford to take care of themselves. So I want you all to know they're moving, of course, with these massive cuts to programs. And I talk about the $880 billion in cuts in Medicaid, but behind all those cuts is the person. It's not even saving organizations, it's saving lives. You know, we're not powerless. I remind people I come from the most beautiful, blackest city in the country, city of Detroit. And I'll tell you, I was taught by the community mothers. It wasn't Congress who got us the Civil Rights Act. They didn't wake up one day and say, hmm, I think equality and fighting against healthy is a good idea. It's we made them. We marched. We boycotted. We created resistance in the streets that made this institution behind me that isn't ready for people like us. Right? We make them ready. And we make them move. It's the same thing with organizing unions. You think somebody in the White House woke up and said, wow, we need to make sure people have human dignity in the workplace? It's when people withheld their labor. So understand the power that you all have, and I'm so incredibly proud of you for being here. Know that I'll always have your back. I won't sell out. You know, I'm standing with some of my colleagues, even in the Democratic caucus, as we try to move with urgency, even before this man became our president. I remember in those days of trying to understand why we always seem to have money for wars and bombs, but we don't seem to have money for clean air and clean water. And it has been courageous for many of the folks in the Oil and Water Don't Mix Coalition. They're up here every single year fighting to say, protect the Great Lakes. Think about that. They're begging the institution that's supposed to be about people, not those that, again, extract and about corporate greed. So I want you to know, don't always have your back, and this is how we do it, through movements like this. And again, I love it when you're all out in front of some of my colleagues' places now in their district, because sometimes coming to D.C. is fine, but go to their backyard. They don't like that. Let's go to their backyard. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Representative Tlaib. So now I will turn it over to Gacero Zarita, that's"
