And then I would say on a political level, start calling your senators, start emailing them, calling them. They listen to us. And the more that we raise alarm about this, the more they're going to realize that this is something that people actually really care about.

Yes, I was getting it from personal level and then also online. I will say largely my community was actually pretty on board because I โ€“ it's funny that I sit here today and I'm considered to be somewhat political now because I spoke in front of the Senate and I've really aligned myself with Bobby. But largely before that, I completely stayed out of the conversations.

I've been a voting Democrat my whole adult life. I mean, I voted for Obama. I voted for Biden the last election. So... I just I believe so much in this cause.

And I also was listening very intently to what Bobby was saying. And I was also finding that to be true. And I'm sorry that I'm not even sorry, but this is going to come across political.
