Speaker 1: United States of America USA President Joe Biden has said

2
00:00:05,240 –> 00:00:08,640
that the country wouldn’t have existed if not for the blood,

3
00:00:09,119 –> 00:00:15,919
swayt tears, determination, dreams, and contributions of Black Americans. JOOE.

00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:19,239
Biden stated this on Friday during the Menen edition of

5
00:00:19,320 –> 00:00:23,920
White House Branch in Celebration of Black Excellence. Joe Biden

6
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:27,320
also in the first book post stated that our nation

7
00:00:27,480 –> 00:00:32,039
would not exist without the blood, sweet and tears, and

8
00:00:32,119 –> 00:00:38,119
without the determination, dreams, and contributions of Black Americans. As

9
00:00:38,119 –> 00:00:41,320
we host the first ever White House Branch in celebration

10
00:00:41,520 –> 00:00:46,200
of Black Excellence, we honor this simple truth. Black history

11
00:00:46,320 –> 00:00:51,399
is American history, and Black excellence is American excellence. Our

12
00:00:51,479 –> 00:00:56,359
administration is making the most significant investments in Black America EVA,

13
00:00:56,759 –> 00:00:59,920
with racial equity at the center of everything we do.

14
00:01:00,759 –> 00:01:04,560
This has led to more Black Americans with jobs, wealth,

15
00:01:05,120 –> 00:01:10,159
health insurance, clean water, funding for higher education, and so

16
00:01:10,359 –> 00:01:14,799
much more. Earlier on Thursday, Joe Biden, in a separate

17
00:01:14,920 –> 00:01:19,599
meeting on gender based violence, said since the legislation on

18
00:01:19,760 –> 00:01:24,280
violence against women were enacted, the rates of domestic violence

19
00:01:24,319 –> 00:01:28,599
and rape cases have dropped. The USA President stated this

20
00:01:28,799 –> 00:01:32,040
on Thursday during his remarks on the thirtieth and eventsary

21
00:01:32,159 –> 00:01:36,680
of the Violence Against Women Act. The Violence Against Women

22
00:01:36,879 –> 00:01:40,599
Act is my proudest legislative accomplishment, and I am so

23
00:01:40,719 –> 00:01:43,959
grateful for the heroes I meant along the way here

24
00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:47,400
at the White House and across the country, women and

25
00:01:47,560 –> 00:01:51,640
men who run shelters and rape crisis centers, fighters and

26
00:01:51,760 –> 00:01:55,640
allies who stand up to industry titans to expose the truth,

27
00:01:56,359 –> 00:01:59,959
and survivors who speak of for themselves and empower these

28
00:02:00,200 –> 00:02:05,239
suffering in silence. Since we passed the Violence Against Women Act,

29
00:02:05,760 –> 00:02:10,039
rates of domestic violence have dropped. Between nineteen ninety three

30
00:02:10,120 –> 00:02:13,639
and twenty twenty two. Annual rates filled by almost seventy

31
00:02:13,680 –> 00:02:18,800
percent reps and sexual assaults declined by fifty six percent.

32
00:02:19,360 –> 00:02:23,319
It matters. When I first wrote the Violence Against Women

33
00:02:23,520 –> 00:02:26,680
Act in nineteen ninety my goal was to change the

34
00:02:26,759 –> 00:02:31,319
laws and culture to provide more protection and support for survivors,

35
00:02:31,719 –> 00:02:36,759
and to create more accountability for perpetrators. And that’s what happened.

36
00:02:37,039 –> 00:02:40,960
I’m proud to announce new significant actions under the Violence

37
00:02:41,039 –> 00:02:45,080
Against Women Act that expand on existing protections and tackle

38
00:02:45,199 –> 00:02:49,680
the next frontier of gender based violence and abuse. Because

39
00:02:49,759 –> 00:02:53,400
Caamalai and I know the work never stops. Joe Biden

40
00:02:53,479 –> 00:02:59,800
