[Voiceover] For over 30 years, when there has been a crisis, we have run toward it.

[Voiceover] Our fundamental belief in the dignity of every person and the hope in the potential of every life is at the root of everything we do.

Support General Assistance” among others, a smiling man, two smiling women, a younger man and an older man shaking hands, a group of smiling children, a resident and her daughter hugging at a podium after speaking at the gala, two smiling women – one shirt says “Love Opens Doors”]

[Voiceover] We have built a community that YOU are part of.

[Images: Two community members hold vigil candles at an outdoor event, a police officer smiles with a group of children, three blindfolded protesters hold signs “None of Us Are Home Until All of Us Are Home” and “Open Your Eyes”]

[Voiceover] We fought the good fight. You told us not to quit.

[Voiceover] COVID has been a different fight. And that’s why you’re here with us tonight, answering the call with us.

[Voiceover] We’re so grateful you’re here, and we’re not surprised. You’re the will that’s pressing us on and moving us in the only direction we’ve ever known, in the only way we know how: Forward. Together.

[Images: Two smiling young men, man dancing/celebrating, two people holding signs “None of Us Are Home” “Until All of Us Are Home”]

[Voiceover] We are sisters, we are brothers, we are family. We’re in this together and we’ll get through this together.
