00:00We've always been a part of the resistance.
00:02Resistance was literally built on our backs.
00:03This is nothing new to us.
00:05So that is, in fact, the opportunity,
00:06is that we're used to doing the work.
00:08If people think they're feeling emotionally drained now,
00:10think about people 50 years ago.
00:11Think about the women 100 years ago.
00:13Think about Harriet Tubman.
00:14She was emotionally drained, but she kept it going.
00:16So that's how you pick yourself up.
00:17Other people have to.
00:18Pick something, get a group of friends together,
00:21around that something, and then build a coalition,
00:23and that's how you're going to attack it.
00:25But first, you just have to pick one thing.
00:26I think wherever you use your voice is important.
00:28So whether you're in the streets, at a rally, on social,
00:30we need to be speaking up.
00:32So one isn't more important than the other.
00:33Just get out there, use your voice, speak up.
00:35Your voice is your vote, and we need it.
