Feminist activist and writer Eve Ensler—playwright of "The Vagina
Monologues" and founder of V Day <https://www.vday.org/> and One Billion
Rising <https://www.onebillionrising.org/>—delivered a riveting endorsement
speech for Bernie Sanders in San Jose, California on Sunday, calling him
the "best choice for the most vulnerable among us."

"As a feminist and a supporter of women rights, I was initially surprised
to find myself supporting an older white man. But we all have many pieces
within us. I am anti-imperialist, I'm a feminist, I'm an anti-racist, I'm a
pansexual, I'm a climate change activist, I'm a survivor, I'm an artist,
and we must rise to challenge, holding and prioritizing all of these moving
parts. I believe Bernie Sanders is the best choice for the most vulnerable
amongst us," Ensler said to thunderous applause.

"I am standing with Bernie Sanders because he is openly and decidedly
anti-imperialist."

She continued, "I have given my life to movements, to building movements,
and I think I have finally found the movement I have been waiting for."

With Californians voting in Super Tuesday, Ensler also hit back against the
"Bernie Bro" narrative saying: "And by the way, can we cut this myth of the
Bernie Bros..I have never met such beautiful, tender, open-hearted men as I
have met in this campaign, and by the way, and by the way, it seems to me,
that things are pretty much run by women and particularly, women of color."
