Disputed disputed: I found a transcript excerpt attributed to Desmond Tutu from the 2006 BIEN Congress that says, in part, “Friends, I do not need to remind you ... dignity, well-being, and inclusion of all people ... to move us closer to our vision of social equity.” The submitted version drops and changes key wording (for example, “campaigns such as,” “that are,” and “to”), so it is not verbatim. A published note also ties this fuller wording to the cited YouTube URL oISeAG7nmg8, while USBIG links the same BIEN speech to another YouTube upload.
