As we come together for the 59th Annual Delegates Conference, our theme, “The Power of One,” reminds me of something fundamental that we often overlook in the business of our lives—the incredible strength of unity. The strength that comes from individuals who, though they may stand alone at times, move together in the pursuit of a better, fairer Bermuda.
We all know that one person alone can’t solve every problem we face. But time and time again, history has shown that the actions of one individual—when aligned with the actions of others—can inspire movements, shift mindsets, and ultimately change the course of our future.
In the Progressive Labour Party, we understand the importance of working together. Whether it’s caring for our seniors, guiding and creating new opportunities for our youth, or tackling the most pressing issues of our time, we can’t get the job done without the full force of community behind us. It’s not about a single leader, or a single policy, or even a single term in government. It’s about each Bermudian, from every walk of life, coming together and doing their part to make this island fairer, more inclusive, and more prosperous for all.
When we gather at this year’s Annual Delegates’ Conference, you’ll hear from leaders like Premier David Burt, Minister Tinee Furbert, and Rev. Nicholas Genevieve-Tweed, and you’ll witness performances from our outstanding local artists. But the heart of the evening is not just the speeches or the entertainment—it’s the collective spirit in that room. It’s the shared belief that, together, we are stronger. It’s a reaffirmation of the truth that we are each responsible for lifting up our neighbour, for holding our government accountable, and for building a future that reflects our highest ideals.
As we reflect on the memory of Bro. Glenn Woods and other dedicated soldiers who sacrificed and have stood by this Party through thick and thin, let’s remember that every voice matters, every effort counts, and no contribution is too small. Each of us has the power to make a difference, but together, our power multiplies.
When we stand united, even in the face of adversity, there is nothing we cannot achieve. That’s the power of one, and that’s the power of us—all of us—working together for a better tomorrow.
See you at the Conference Opening Night this Wednesday starting at 7pm at the St. Paul’s AME Centennial Hall. This event is open to ALL, Party Members, supporters of just if you are interested in our vision for a fairer Bermuda for all of us.
