## Transcript

I have been silenced for 20 years. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] I have been slut- shamed. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] I have been harassed. I have been maligned. And you know what? I'm just like you. Because what happened to me behind the scenes happens to all of us in this society. And that cannot stand. And it will not stand. I came to be a voice for all of us who've been told we're nothing. For all of us who've been looked down on. For all of us who've been grabbed by the mother [ BLEEP ]. No more, name it, shame it. Call it out. Join me. Join all of us as we amplify each other's voices. And we do what is right for us, and for our sisters, and for this planet Mother Earth.

It's time to be whole. It's time to rise it's time to be brave. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] In the face of unspeakable. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Actions from one monster we look away to another, the head monster of all right now. [ APPLAUSE ] And they are the same. And they must die. It is time. The paradigm must be subverted It is time. We've been waiting a very long time for this to happen but we don't need to wait anymore because we got this. Hollywood may seem like it's an isolated thing, but it is not. It is the messaging system for your mind. It is the mirror that you are given to look into. This is what you are as a woman.

This is what you are as a man. This is what you are as a boy, girl, Gay, straight, transgender. But it's all totaled through 96 % males in the Directors Guild of America. [ APPLAUSE ] That statistic has not changed since 1946. So we are given one view. And I know the men behind that view. And they should not be in your mind, and they should not be in mind. It's time to clean the house.
