---------------------------- 

Kerry Washington [00:00:00]
Welcome. Welcome to the final night of the Democratic National Convention. The last three nights have been extraordinary, and tonight, we hear from our next president, Kamala Harris. 

Kerry Washington [00:00:19]
Now, as I stand here, I know that there are folks on social media already saying, go back to your tv show, shut up, and act. But I am not here tonight as an actor. I am here as a mother, as a daughter, as a proud union member. I'm here. I am here as the granddaughter of immigrants, as a black woman descended from enslaved people. 

Kerry Washington [00:00:50]
I am here tonight because I am an american and because I am a voter and because we, the people, are stronger when all our voices are heard. 

Kerry Washington [00:01:06]
Look, I know that I am the one standing on this stage, but I am not the lead character in this story. You are. All of you. You are the messengers. You are the fixers. 

Kerry Washington [00:01:22]
Dare I say it? You are the Olivia popes. 

Kerry Washington [00:01:29]
You are the superheroes saving this democracy. It is you, not me, who have the greatest power to convince your loved ones to vote. So just like Michelle Obama told us, let's do something. 

Kerry Washington [00:01:49]
Let's make a video. Everybody, take out your phones. Everybody, take out your phones. We're gonna make a moment. Can somebody bring me my phone? 

Kerry Washington [00:02:00]
I want to capture this historic moment and share it with the people that we love. 

Kerry Washington [00:02:19]
Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take this video, guys. We're all gonna take it together. We're gonna post it to social media, text your friends, send this message out into the world. When I say, when we fight, you're gonna say, are you ready? 

Kerry Washington [00:02:34]
Okay, let's record. We're recording. You ready, Tony? Yep. Okay. 

Kerry Washington [00:02:37]
Ready when we fight. When we fight. 

Kerry Washington [00:02:45]
When we fight. 

Kerry Washington [00:02:48]
Are you ready for Kamala Harris to win? 

Kerry Washington [00:02:55]
Good, because when Kamala wins, um, America wins. 

Kerry Washington [00:03:03]
We did it. We did it, Joe. 

Kerry Washington [00:03:08]
Thank you, Tony. I don't get to stay? No, you gotta go. Uh, bye, everybody. Tony Goldwyn, ladies and gentlemen.
