THE POWER OF EARLY VOTING AND WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT.30 minutes, 59 seconds
WHAT I DO WANT TO SAY IS THIS, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE MERGER OF THESE TWO WORLDS, RIGHT?31 minutes, 5 seconds
THIS NO KINGS WORLD, THIS WORLD OF FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN LEAD AND ORGANIZING LIKE LITERALLY OF MILLIONS OF FOLKS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TO COME OUT FOR RALLIES AND MARCHES, ETC., ETC.31 minutes, 15 seconds
BUT THEY MADE A DECISION THAT FOR THE NEXT ACTIVITY TODAY, THAT IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING THAT WAS FOCUSED ON ACTUALLY BUILDING POWER.31 minutes, 23 seconds
SOMEBODY SAY POWER. >> POWER!31 minutes, 25 seconds

OUR EARLY VOTE IS A WAY OF FIGHTING AND PUSHING BACK AGAINST THE SUPPRESSION THAT WE'RE SEEING AND THE SABOTAGE THAT WE'RE SEEING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.32 minutes, 29 seconds
