 My brothers and my beautiful sisters, remember, we can only change the world when the people in it changes. Repeat after me. What does it take to be free? What does it take to be free? What does it mean for equality? What does it mean for equality? Justice, justice, peace, peace, justice, justice, peace, justice, peace, justice, peace, and we scream in equality, equality. We are a political organization that is fighting for the many and not just the wealthy, few. We believe that those closest to the pain are also closest to the solutions, the innovations and the breakthroughs. And what could be more democratic than that? I decided to use my platform to tell narratives from my community and to bring empathy and compassion to the experience of what it is to be black and to live in poverty or to be from the hood. This generation of activists, engaged citizens have an opportunity to bring to fruition the promise, acknowledging the past, acknowledging the struggle, acknowledging the difficulties, but ringing that bell for the promise. You were able to vote for the first time in 30 years as a result of Amendment 4, which is an effort that you led. What did that feel like? My story don't have a happy ending because we're still fighting these systems that insist on holding us back. Our democracy doesn't work if the criminal justice system isn't working. It's important to understand that the original sins are ultimately still running through democracy's veins in America, and it plays out in these very technical ways. We're not educated enough as to who to believe in and how to make our power count. Most important thing we have as citizens is the ability to shape this government. Our founders made it very clear we the people are the government. We the people form the more perfect union. The idea that those that are directly impacted by any system should have a voice in being able to shape it. We keep fighting through and especially trying to get this younger generation to understand that this system, this is how we get things done. Democracy begins with how we see ourselves and how we allow other people to see us. You can't sleep on this one. You can't stay away from what you're being called to do as citizens because if you don't, I don't want to hear you bitch and come 2021. Everyone, we sort of share the same values and have the same hopes and dreams. We just need our system to be able to work for all of that to be accounted for. Everybody who is doing that from you tiktokers that I don't understand, tiktok to the folks who are actually out in the street, thank you, you all give me hope for the future that we will save this planet and we will actually get the country that we deserve.
