() “The events of recent days have been deeply troubling. Especially for us, here in Hell’s Kitchen. We’ve been called upon to question whether the people we thought were fighting for us were really monsters all along. We are being told that we are not strong, that we are not safe. Yet… here we are. Stronger, because we will not accept that we are weak. Safer, because we will not be divided. I am proud of all of you for coming here despite your fears. And I am grateful to you, always… for letting me call myself one of you.”
