Actor Kendrick Sampson talks about what it means to vote for women.
Transcript
00:00Saying I vote for women is understanding my male privilege and that I don't have to think
00:06about getting an Uber or a Lyft in the middle of the night.
00:12I don't have to think about so many things and I've been taught as a man to have the
00:19best game and not realizing that game is the same thing, it's synonymous with coercion.
00:29Getting a woman to do something she doesn't want to do, the further I can go in getting
00:34a woman to do what she doesn't want to do, the more of a man I am.
00:39That's rape, that's rape culture, that's sexual harassment.
00:43The game that we've been taught is abusive towards women, whether it's verbally, mentally,
00:52or actually physically a lot of the time.
00:57Understanding that privilege that I don't have to go walk around and think about a
01:02lot of the things that women do puts me in a position of responsibility to stand up for
01:08them and use that privilege to bring about change that ultimately brings equity between
01:17the genders.
01:18We vote with our money, we vote with our time, we vote with our voice, we have to vote with
01:24our ballot.
01:25The more we show up and if we come out overwhelmingly so in this midterm, which is usually pretty
01:32vacant, we show that we are here to hold you accountable and that we're watching and that
01:41you're not going to get away with this.
