00:44I think it's important to show a visual representation that the American citizens don't support the

00:50policies of our upper class. They don't support the policies of our elected officials. We

01:04not popular with the American people, if that makes sense.

01:09I would now like for all of you to join me in a message to our brothers and sisters in

01:17Palestine. We see you. We see you. We hear you. We hear you. And we will raise your voices.

01:32Raise your voices. No one is free until everyone is free. No one is free until everyone is

01:42free. Liberation of Palestine.
