00:00Every blue dot in a sea of red with a feckless leader ready to roll over for
00:05a wannabe dictator, you're next! I ask you to join us in this fight because as
00:13they test these waters in Memphis, know we may be the first, but we will not be
00:18the last.
00:21I do not believe that we don't have a problem here. And I am not soft on crime. I am smart
00:36on crime. We know what works because we are here in the streets of Memphis and we do not
00:43need Donald Trump or Bill Lee or Marsha Blackburn telling us what to do.
00:50We don't send soldiers, send solutions. Solutions and money. If you really want to fight crime,
00:58fight the poverty, invest in Memphis.
01:01Good morning. Good to see everybody again. We are the people of Memphis who are standing
01:11here today to say no to Donald Trump, no to fascism, no to occupation, no to the national
01:20guard. You want to call us all criminals? Less than 3% of the population of the city of
01:26Memphis commits crime, but 100% of us will be occupied if we bow down today to Donald Trump.
01:33How can you deprive us of resources and then tell us the only solution is military occupation?
01:40We need poverty eradication, not military occupation. This is a moment in time that we're going
01:48to remember where folks stand. We're going to continue organizing. We're going to continue
01:54building power in our community because Donald Trump is not coming here to take care of us.
01:58Because in the city of Memphis, we take care of our own. We will be prepared. We will not
02:04be scared because as we say in Memphis, we don't bluff. Thank you.
02:40You
