De Niro went on to thank SAG-AFTRA, especially in the current era where there is "hostility" toward unions. He then listed a series of issues that political leaders who support unions are more likely to get behind, such as "the Affordable Care Act, equitable taxes, humane immigration regulation, a safe environment, a diverse citizenry, reproductive rights, sensible gun control, and fair wages and benefits." The actor then noted that "we owe them our support and we owe them our vote."

 

De Niro labeled the current political climate "dire," adding, "There's right and there's wrong, there's common sense and there's abuse of power. And as a citizen, I have as much right as anybody ― an actor, an athlete, a musician, anybody else ― to voice my opinion." He emphasized, "If I have a bigger voice because of my situation, I am going to use it whenever I see a blatant abuse of power." He then said, "That's all I'm going to say about that tonight."

 

Concluding his acceptance speech, De Niro thanked his "beautiful" family and the acting community.

 

PANIC ongoing. Think he ever gets the feeling no one is listening?
