American Hebrew Award Acceptance Speech - 13 February 1934
February 13, 1934
Speech Feb 13, 1943 at “American Hebrew” Award for Mrs. Catt’s Petition of Protest against Hitler’s persecution Jews & liberals in Germany [Letter] To Jews the world around I extend my sincerest sympathy. It is my earnest hop that Non-Jews, everywhere, will comprehend the significance of the stupendous problem created by the recent happenings in Germany. These things came so unexpectedly that they were received with a degree of mental stupifaction. It took time to bring one’s self to believe the proved accounts of German acts and still more time […]

Address Delivered Upon Return from IWSA Special Conference - 1927
January 1, 1927
I have just returned from a Great Adventure. I have spent 4 whole nights and five whole days in Europe! I am sure none of you ever made so brief a visit. Many folk now –a-days get such deep and important impressions in a weekend stay in a foreign land that they write a book about it. Instead I thought I’d tell those impressions to you. The International Woman Suffrage Alliance of which I was president for 20 years held its first Peace Conference in Amsterdam. It was a timid […]

Yoga Day Speech at the UN Headquarters - June 21, 2015
June 21, 2015
Respected leaders, honored guests, Namaste and aloha. As individuals and as a society, in order to have peace and happiness, we need wisdom and spiritual love. Three days ago, a man walked into a church in South Carolina and in cold blood gunned down nine people. Why? Because of ignorance and hate. For too long the world has witnessed the brutal terrorism of groups like ISIS. Why do such groups exist? Because of ignorance and hate. There's so much suffering caused by this ignorant and hate. It points to our […]

As I said, corporate interests spent 14 million dollars thinking they could tell Wisconsin what to do. All of you said not on my watch. Because they know that I don't work for them, I work for you. So I want you all to know how proud I am of having the opportunity to be a part of such a strong and committed Democratic ticket. It is still early in the night, but I want to thank every Democrat who ran for office this year and helped build a stronger […]

Hi everybody. Oh my gosh I'm so honored by the voters of Washington State to continue to represent them in the United States Senate. This is one of the most amazing elections, when the voters of our state and many across the country in one of the most divisive environments can step up and have a record turnout and help set a mid-course correction. I want the voters of Washington State to know that I'm going to continue, no I'm going to redouble my efforts to work across the aisle, […]

November 6, 2018
I know tonight we will flip the House of Representatives because the president needs to be held accountable for selling out working people and for the hateful policies that spew out of him and tear our country apart. More than ever I am grateful and I am humbled for your vote because I am serving to honor that common- that- that common bond that drives our advocacy, the fight for the empowerment of others, the fight for those who are most at risk, those most in need, those who need […]
