“I have seen Katy's commitment to the causes she believes in firsthand,” Clinton said in her speech. “I've gotten to spend time with her and I know how deeply she cares about making our world a better place. She is serious about understanding the complex problems we face and pulling people together to solve them. We need champions like Katy now more than ever: her passion, her energy and, yes, her voice, louder than a lion.”

"Truly, my work has only just begun," Perry said in her acceptance speech. "And this award is a starting line, not a finish line. And it will be a constant reminder to get back in the field and shine my spotlight on where it matters most."
