🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 78s

"I'm interested in hearing more about what is the decision-making when they said that they couldn't stand on the sidelines and had to get involved. Like, what were some of the particular policies or things that they still play out on on TV that they felt like, okay, I need to kind of show up in some way. There are so many things. I mean, for sure, the ice abductions just crosses such a line of morality and decency. I mean, it's just so offensive. And I know any woman cannot watch a child being ripped out of the mother's arm and the mother be taken away and the child screaming without just knowing something is deeply, deeply wrong in this society. So the ice abductions, the Epstein files, for sure, just the gross corruption, the just absolute blatant corruption, the gutting of social services and support for low income people while enriching the richest people already in the country, all of these things. But there's one thing more than anything else that makes people ready to protest. And it's not what's happening externally. It's not an external event. It's if they have friends who are also protesting, if they have a community."
