But, you know, let me say, truly, what we need to learn from this is in moments like this, you always have power.
And the power is your voice.
The power is...
standing up and always doing the right thing.
It's sort of what MLK said, right?
It's always the right time to do the right thing.
And in this moment, the right thing to do is to keep standing up and fighting for justice, right?
And when you see communities in this country being treated the way they are, you have to fight for them.
Well, let me say before I get to that, I want to say that in addition to standing up and fighting back and fighting for justice, one thing that is really important for folks not to forget is that the best way we can put a check on this maniac's power and make sure stuff like this doesn't happen in our communities is to actually defeat him at the ballot box.
Right.
It's important to stand up against this injustice, but it's also important to realize that elections have consequences.
And unless and until we put a check on this power, this is going to happen again and again and again in more places than just Minneapolis and Minnesota.
So my my.
ask of everyone listening, of course, and everyone not listening is don't just protest, take action.
And the best action you can take is get involved and help elect Democrats so we can put a check in power.
Let me just end with this.
Voter registration is so critical.
I'm so proud of this.
program that we launched, the When We Count program, to actually make sure we're creating more Democrats.
My job is to win elections, and to do that, we have to create more Democrats.
