1:11

1:16

boy chair for a planned parenthood affiliates

1:18

to california a rider

1:21

creepy

1:22

hander fan the limit

1:25

or yeah this conversation even happened we were on the

1:27

phone about the last well

1:29

affair with how are you

1:31

by you know that applies in three

1:33

right now they really is associated

1:35

with like

1:36

how are you managing right and

1:39

we both started

1:42

good man thing about all the thing

1:45

the thing about crazy though is that when she's man

1:48

it's like very factual right

1:53

a curse words yeah and so

1:55

i said you know why i would really love

1:57

if it was possible said the bring this conversation

1:59

the my

2:00

yeah i know that you are are folks

2:03

that are very action oriented i also know

2:05

that what's going on

2:08

in terms of the way that laws

2:10

are changing and specifically around roberts

2:12

is way that is is it seems

2:14

like an insurmountable i'm issue

2:17

and in many ways it

2:19

really is extending far beyond what a lot

2:21

of less can imagine based on us

2:23

our knowledge base an endless

2:25

a short call it open

2:28

my mind am i to them innumerable

2:30

ways the it reverberates and i know

2:33

a lot of folks can tell themselves like what this really

2:35

isn't my problem and i think that's

2:37

something that is very convenient and

2:40

what do you know better you do better and

2:42

so here we have christie said

2:44

the how walk us through i'm

2:47

not only some understanding

2:49

what's actually taking place i did what we think is

2:51

taking place but also ways in which

2:53

we can be setting

2:56

our sights on our best efforts to

2:59

that fell chris have a lot of

3:01

you just bring the mean okay

3:04

when a woman get it back for my wedding

3:06

say the fall so i like well

3:08

you know clinton had was started by

3:10

a racist white woman so

3:12

her focus was on a

3:14

board in children so i don't know why you are

3:16

avoiding black children so adam a while

3:18

care about roe versus wade

3:23

when i say early is

3:25

so much so many layers and so many levels

3:28

disaster not understand the concern

3:30

because many

3:31

queer we've known each other for a long time

3:33

my arsenal official giampaolo

3:35

is the cheaper for tasker and

3:37

depend on black folks yeah and so

3:40

at all costs know that i

3:42

approached every

3:42

but i do with that the we want to go down

3:45

the margaret sanger

3:46

i know roller post

3:48

one knowledge at the moment for it to

3:50

it's an accurate all the information

3:53

is online all the information is at

3:55

planned parenthood dot or to

3:57

understand the significance of the period

3:59

of

3:59

in that we were in when margaret sanger

4:02

found planned parenthood age

4:04

understanding our understanding

4:07

what the eugenics

4:09

movement is about in understanding that

4:11

hey who we are in a society

4:14

that know where black

4:17

ben protested or allowed

4:19

to be free from the

4:20

during a parent right they write

4:22

a h e definitely has

4:24

ah

4:24

here are some trouble than our pass

4:27

the their troubles in our pasts in every

4:29

institution that we are part of especially

4:31

this institution that we call the united states

4:33

of america us as our and then the concern

4:36

and i don't want to a discredit

4:38

that or to make anyone seen as as

4:40

hey this is irrelevant

4:44

it's man

4:45

oh to the time and the moment they were in

4:48

in terms of protecting ourselves and our freedoms

4:51

and it is not the motive in the initiative

4:53

a planned parenthood units modern

4:55

day

4:56

nor much of it's perfect

4:58

i'm proud of the one on a detailed

5:00

information do the research sites on

5:03

mob mob mob the expert

5:05

said

5:06

all over the place car wouldn't start fit

5:08

have never been to medical school sustained

5:11

attack occurred he had never opened the

5:13

or even understand what the movement

5:15

has been about and so on try

5:18

to preserve as much judgment i told you this morning

5:20

i'm still doesn't sell in the process of

5:22

i'm falling short the day i'm i'm passing

5:24

some judgment here in the apps and

5:27

that i just want to stay focused and

5:29

not distracted on all

5:31

the things that keep us from collectively

5:33

you nineteen to advance

5:35

the freedom of all black people and

5:38

one armed man that's one of the things

5:40

let me pay you know i think there's some people

5:42

who would say well this isn't really about

5:44

all black people because it doesn't apply

5:47

to black men or this doesn't apply

5:49

to men in general right there like this the

5:51

women's issue and sell you know

5:54

what i had somebody am i the as the like i mean

5:56

i don't understand like is it really that hard not to get

5:58

pregnant and i wanted

5:59

oh right sure my phone

6:02

i also because yeah it

6:04

is i mean i had a scenario where

6:08

whether you are looking i now have had

6:10

a scenario where they slept with some lion and when

6:12

it started there was a condom in the mix when

6:14

it ended that kind of was no longer there there

6:17

were not informed in that

6:20

situation now

6:22

the onus is on them there

6:24

was a problem if there was an

6:27

accident where are pregnancies a place

6:29

that i think accident because

6:31

you weren't

6:32

operating with the goal of getting pregnant and

6:34

you were asking a new exciting the

6:36

method

6:37

they said

6:39

maybe you say of a condom on here in the

6:41

first place in it was removed at the end so

6:43

the whole nother conversation said he said

6:45

to happen right like there whole nother situations

6:48

this happened also sometimes

6:51

you just get exhausted they were

6:53

meeting to prove any

6:55

one guy they've had

6:57

an abortion right like for every single

7:00

person we had an abortion

7:02

there's a different reason there's

7:04

a different

7:05

right now all of these days

7:07

but the truth of the matter

7:09

many a puppy this is why i had an

7:11

abortion

7:11

but that's that's the

7:13

point there there are all

7:16

of these things accepted uterus com

7:18

were an abortion in unintentional pregnancy

7:21

cause warrant abortions these

7:24

things i feel like part of the

7:26

the strategy right is the cheapest

7:29

defending as a cheap as excel

7:31

you need as cheap as asking for

7:33

permission over and over again when

7:35

the truth of the matter is my body

7:38

is my body when i choose to

7:40

do with it when why and how

7:42

yeah

7:43

me i'm sorry

7:45

i couldn't go through all of the stories

7:48

of why i had an abortion

7:50

why i know people who had an abortion

7:53

is no one sam business but

7:55

my own separate

7:57

set

7:59

the

7:59

able to have access

8:02

to say abortion

8:04

is above and beyond all of this

8:07

abortions will nafeesa happens

8:09

people will not stop getting pregnant and

8:11

he amount obsessed with be and had

8:13

one that decreased we

8:15

actually no the in a recession

8:17

greece it we know that pregnancies

8:19

improve and so

8:21

these reasons it is

8:23

absurd that were at this

8:25

moment in time this feel

8:29

nineteen o line graph

8:31

when we actually do not

8:33

have the right

8:36

to determine what's best for

8:38

ourselves and for our families

8:40

i mean

8:41

the acted right i'm sorry i'm sorry

8:44

single you guys , like

8:48

a laundry list of all of the

8:50

reasons people have an abortion right

8:53

my back to go through with some i'd

8:55

rather than i had than miscarriage

8:57

yeah i had

8:59

to have what i do

9:01

have a d n c the had a miscarriage

9:04

pulled out absolutely my

9:06

dad told me

9:08

the now

9:11

this

9:13

not really

9:15

loud in other states

9:17

he said in other places i wouldn't be able

9:20

to handle this i will do it

9:22

family as an assassin you would simply just

9:24

have to wait and then the psychological

9:27

ah duress as even bad

9:29

people understand or care about right

9:32

and by the way to find yes you

9:34

know came and picked me up for mattress

9:40

their family minutes to get in front of a long

9:45

, it's tell me what corner you that that

9:49

by now as inside

9:52

with the masculine like cause they decide

9:55

what

9:56

army merfyn admit an

9:58

anima report

10:00

about the emotional stress

10:03

a been able to deal with your

10:05

reproductive health fear when

10:07

things

10:07

they don't write might be amount

10:09

of sister who that the we need it the amount

10:11

of support the

10:12

are we have to have he said the

10:14

world is working against us

10:17

is magnified in a safe

10:19

where it's illegal magnified

10:22

in a safe where you don't have

10:25

the resources

10:27

actually

10:28

sarah

10:30

the legal and safe abortion

10:32

or reproductive freedom feel like sometimes

10:35

can go to canada right some people can

10:37

get on a private plane and though europe

10:39

some people can travel to california

10:42

where they can access this many ten

10:45

many cannot do those things

10:48

to access

10:49

safe and legal abortion

10:52

and so i mean the fight

10:54

is real and i think that one of the other

10:56

things that we

10:57

we don't hear talk about is the intersection

11:00

on nature of the injustice right

11:02

like i normally the noughties be very that

11:04

mean little to nothing but

11:06

the not just for healthcare

11:09

issue

11:10

a criminal justice issue rather

11:12

than my or mental health issue it's

11:14

all of these face for so for those

11:17

who faces

11:17

the impact

11:19

your family mistaken for impacts

11:22

every single one of us regardless

11:24

of your bank accounts regardless of

11:26

your ability and an

11:30

ability to

11:31

them an escape it's impacts every

11:33

single one of us regardless of gender

11:35

and socio economic status no

11:39

no and when

11:40

when you pointed out

11:43

like listening

11:45

when the in the same fate have the

11:47

iraq the odds than an abortion has

11:50

allowed in the incense and rain well

11:54

there have been a history women

11:57

accused of white women in particular accusing

11:59

black men of right the wrong your hobby

12:01

and

12:02

and exciting birthday

12:04

and then if we're creating

12:07

this situation again you telling me that fly

12:09

i never situation that you can be in danger of rubble

12:12

they say and you're here the narrative they

12:14

always not that big of a deal it doesn't happen

12:16

that often

12:17

get out a year spewed out a year the easiest

12:20

person to prosecute for an icu

12:24

when for the blackness

12:26

how are

12:29

you didn't come from families and fab

12:31

your mom where and when pretty

12:33

interesting had interesting had into blading all of these

12:35

roles said into my first and opinion

12:37

based in fact and so we see

12:40

often times what the criminal justice system

12:42

means and does to people

12:44

cutler you have a state

12:46

the center say

12:47

only from a case of rape

12:49

you may have saved some will not even say that

12:52

send someone having access can

12:54

someone have access to abortion

12:57

return predestined

12:59

measures you don't know to

13:01

what can someone make bow to

13:04

okay a beer

13:05

the interior did they would not have

13:07

yes big didn't meet a certain level of criteria

13:10

and so when we talk about a criminal justice system

13:13

are we thinking about how we're protesting

13:16

those who will now be accused

13:18

of

13:19

let him know that will be achieved

13:21

the radio committee right i'm all

13:23

for how do we prosecute them right like this

13:25

is not a statement of how do we protect everyone

13:27

from being accused of rape for those

13:29

who will be accused of rape because

13:32

it's be easy

13:32

options things although

13:34

neither of my yeah i

13:37

think he's an easy to be worried about the

13:39

they x and it is directly attached

13:41

to overturning roe

13:44

v wade we will have limited

13:46

access to the legal

13:49

counsel we already know this

13:51

is i mean i have to break this down even

13:53

more but we know what it it doesn't

13:55

there is no safety and the criminal

13:57

justice system for black people and so

14:00

to introduce even more

14:03

the people to the opportunity to be bad

14:05

as the criminal justice system he

14:07

pops up at night and should make them

14:09

put on a shirt to stand out and

14:12

to say i think that this is ridiculous

14:14

and it is my

14:15

the ability to fight against

14:18

the overturning of roadie way i

14:20

mean

14:21

we're going to find one way or another

14:24

the company they need i think a lot of us

14:26

right or haven't conversation the bylaws

14:28

right because we're speaking

14:30

from la de kan from humanity income

14:33

but the truth is that people who are making the decisions

14:36

are not considering any of those things right

14:38

they are considering there

14:39

personal value system or lack

14:41

thereof and they have a very specific

14:44

goal in mind that for

14:46

all intents and purposes

14:48

there's a catchall whoever

14:51

gets in that

14:52

whoever father

14:53

the way pride in that like as irrelevant as long

14:56

as they get to their goal right which

14:58

is according to many people that goal

15:00

is to simply just produce more cry babies

15:03

are to other people that goal includes

15:05

a certain level of our political in socio

15:07

economic power ah that they're

15:09

using abortion as it's happening

15:12

to me old folks behind in terms

15:14

of voters support etc but

15:16

my question because

15:18

when you know you're dealing with that

15:21

you can read them with it then

15:24

where does our

15:26

effort though then

15:28

who are undermining

15:32

little white supremacy of a well oiled

15:34

machine

15:35

and shown up every

15:37

waiter and everything that religion

15:39

and your lives there is

15:41

that is that of a like every episode

15:44

as it has to sell assets same

15:46

state as it is a well

15:49

oiled machine that when you're sleeping

15:52

works when you're not paying attention when

15:54

works to keep you confuse works to make

15:57

you think that it doesn't make sense it makes

15:59

sense

15:59

it to work against you

16:02

and so for all of those reasons that

16:04

people may a magic here's

16:06

why

16:06

they don't want us to access

16:09

abortion year

16:10

many of them may be right many of them may

16:12

not be right but here's the thing we

16:14

want the freedom

16:17

the control our body me want

16:19

to have bodily autonomy me

16:21

once you have access to abortion

16:23

chaos agence been all

16:26

my time trying to figure out why

16:28

it's so easy as probably

16:30

will not be able to to figure

16:33

however i can also spend my time

16:35

working to defend and protect the

16:37

people that need it most and what that looks like

16:40

is who we can also talk about

16:42

hobbies shit about

16:43

how long time ago we talk

16:45

about how we

16:47

that have shown up to the posts

16:49

and at all about thing to

16:52

say this though i think never would

16:54

have shown up had the democrats been

16:56

a lot more clear and

16:59

the alarm a lot more expressive

17:01

in what was said oh so

17:03

lucky coach truly understood what

17:05

was that say if we're being honest hillary

17:07

was right she's out of planning that hillary one know

17:09

where she needed to be pilloried and sounds

17:11

in the places you need to stop hillary wasn't

17:13

out here giving us her best version

17:16

of charisma which is a luxury item but her

17:18

best version and i think we're still in

17:20

that place where the democrats are still

17:22

know you are been clearer

17:25

then i have seen any democrat aside

17:27

from a o sea

17:28

employing what is actually

17:32

at say

17:34

and the and igniting

17:36

people to then say oh

17:38

20:56

admitting i guess you and we have dropped the

20:58

ball and when i say we i do not mean the democratic

21:01

party as in no way am i a representative

21:04

of the democratic party at all

21:05

we collectively along the way have

21:08

dropped the ball in certain areas that we could

21:10

have done better we also has

21:12

to stop

21:12

searching for perfect sense nobody

21:15

is that they don't nobody is

21:17

voyage of not having

21:19

a scramble or of fact that

21:21

moment had some time but it does

21:23

not excuse us from

21:26

doing the work to be individually half do

21:28

to make that have arrived by there's so

21:30

many reasons that there's

21:32

so many reasons that our

21:35

political landscape looks the way it

21:37

does that

21:40

very reason and reasons is

21:42

why we now need to be

21:44

even more vigilant about been

21:46

engaged for in the process we

21:48

have to vote now more

21:51

than ever part of the for me is understanding

21:53

the signal

21:54

nowadays are what my ancestors

21:56

have gone to to guarantee the right remedy right

21:59

for her

21:59

fighting for freedom for reproductive

22:02

healthcare for criminal justice

22:04

for all of those things that are actually

22:06

in mine is how do you don't

22:07

then it matters why do it out

22:10

of respect to do it because

22:12

it actually does matter since oh right

22:14

now if we want to censor

22:15

we want to have more control or more

22:18

you have to get the people

22:20

out of power who are making

22:22

these decisions this isn't just the supreme

22:24

court oh my goodness i'm actually

22:26

i get the people off the supreme court i can't do

22:29

much but you can figure out

22:31

your d ah yes you can

22:33

understand what local elections look like

22:35

these are people have the power to

22:37

for love or to enforce

22:39

love and so we are organizers

22:43

that very good you are

22:45

american and you understand

22:47

what it means sometimes you wouldn't

22:49

his marriage know straight straight path

22:51

to anything once

22:53

door closed figure out another

22:55

when i'm comedy the back window of a hassle

22:57

leave a crack something so if

22:59

we can

23:00

move in one area we still

23:02

have to continue

23:03

in a know that he didn't ah

23:05

ok or may not be able to change that

23:08

right now that might be a long

23:10

term goals short term though

23:13

i need to make sure that people who

23:15

cross the border across state

23:17

borders to receive access

23:19

the chaos on my then

23:21

penalized when they come

23:23

back home they are not criminalized

23:26

when they come back hopes yet again what

23:28

we're talking about is a new crop

23:30

the going to another said he can you come back

23:32

and making show

23:33

the

23:34

the know have a little protection since

23:37

you went to another state

23:38

the have an abortion you now can

23:40

be prosecuted exam

23:43

ask your ability to provide for your family

23:45

that is their ability to put food on the table for

23:47

your children that's find

23:49

and legal fees that you may

23:51

or may not have simply because

23:54

hipaa laws did not protect you

23:56

despite your company

23:58

we will probably

23:59

you have to fight against

24:02

facts you have to make sure that

24:04

people who are seeking the size of

24:06

chair are coming back into states

24:09

that do not prosecute them for

24:11

these ring secular law

24:13

fell in order right that the

24:15

people who are making the laws that would say

24:18

okay this is not going to

24:20

be criminal are your state senator

24:23

and the governor's because the reality

24:26

is that they are putting the power back

24:28

to the states and their federal government

24:30

has this is saying that save get to defy decide

24:33

you know individually what they want to

24:35

do and so now

24:37

more than ever we've been screaming at about my lungs

24:39

that you that a care about local elections now

24:41

more than ever the president

24:43

is a figurehead to you is

24:46

in reality of what they're setting up

24:48

your your now is the president

24:50

have your say

24:53

her family and your think senator

24:55

is our exactly that they're your senators

24:57

they are representative

24:59

and feminists who are creating the laws

25:02

that you will be adhering to and as say

25:04

and that you'll be able to challenge on the supreme

25:06

court level

25:08

absolutely absolutely amazing

25:10

until i'm better than i mean

25:12

it didn't yes you are i will tell you a

25:14

politics isn't what isn't study i'm

25:17

but i'm know how important it is it also

25:19

want also want throw into that amanda

25:21

as were understanding who controls

25:24

what and why it's necessary very remote

25:26

at a local election and we get one

25:28

thing

25:28

the brownlow fab

25:30

stronghold door and that creating

25:32

culture and at this moment in time

25:35

culture influences policy

25:37

think about how black

25:40

history month and stevie wonder

25:43

go hand in hand when we things about

25:45

mlk holiday and creating

25:47

and song that would have cultural explosion

25:49

right

25:50

the all singing the know today

25:52

that's actually was what twice

25:55

malaysian over the have

25:57

to say now

25:59

or

25:59

you're

26:00

it a poker impact

26:03

policy we are real

26:05

yet at creating an

26:07

impact in cultures i think one

26:09

of the things that policy users

26:11

so well white supremacy use the so

26:14

well ah

26:16

those who are against every bit of

26:18

our freedom you so well is it man

26:21

the ability to make us

26:23

feel badly the

26:26

ability to make us feel

26:28

less than what decisions

26:30

that we've made better in the iphone

26:32

avast and first of ourselves spurred

26:35

by design is by design

26:37

we can pop or that left

26:40

know much but what is a powerful

26:42

beast has powerful

26:44

beyond measure which is why he

26:46

remains under constant attack our voices

26:48

remain under constant attack in how we

26:50

use it insults families moment

26:53

yeah though

26:54

yeah go to the polls yes and

26:57

and your local election

26:59

everybody acted as a looks differently

27:02

there are other options

27:04

and components

27:07

of activism that means using your

27:09

voice and using your culture to

27:11

see or years worried and to protect

27:13

the fan and stand with others in that

27:16

moment in south you know we can't legalize

27:18

something that we have normalize

27:20

how would you gotta

27:26

you know when i'm done one i don't know what i'm

27:28

such a suntan but may not

27:30

lead the lies something

27:32

here we are not have the ability to normalize

27:35

we

27:35

talking about abortion

27:38

if we're talking about reproductive

27:40

to their and freedom in the corner

27:42

and whisper it for making code name

27:45

sport in all of these other things they

27:47

will continue to use

27:49

that against us it every utterance right

27:51

and in mason them and know

27:53

the one thing that i'm saying

27:56

i'm is free

27:58

i'm not really know

27:59

the fight for freedom says i'm

28:02

so i don't want anybody to hear me

28:04

and say oh well christie told me to go

28:07

do all of these things i made a decision a long

28:09

time ago this say he wasn't what

28:11

i was wasn't on my agenda because

28:13

i had led ago i made the decision a long

28:15

time ago but i was not look

28:17

a free roots if i my freedom

28:19

it doesn't exist i'm paying the price every

28:21

day sensible we talked about

28:24

the courage to stand

28:26

up and say i too had

28:27

abortion when we talk about the

28:29

bravery bit it takes for

28:32

men whose end up in some as

28:34

a student from an abortion but

28:36

not much

28:37

i mean it couldn't be laugh or any of

28:39

us that's why we need to collect gifts

28:41

to fight and defend when people put

28:44

themselves on the front line right

28:46

yeah have to put yourself on the front

28:48

mock if you're not willing to put

28:50

yourself on the front mine we're

28:54

nothing to say when

28:56

i say

28:59

had

29:00

yeah

29:01

i mean that that little this is the

29:03

hard truth that i feel like a lot of folks are

29:05

right or like the i'm i don't

29:07

know if i'm ready to beyond the

29:09

front line

29:12

enlisted oh my god i just sit on the breadline

29:14

for a long time of their

29:17

i've taken the heat and people have seen

29:20

the heat that's a good and they say i

29:22

don't know how you do it i don't know

29:24

yeah are you managing

29:26

and i will tell you i manage it

29:28

besides when i assess

29:30

and i ask myself you know

29:33

what have i been better to keep this well

29:35

you know sometimes i'm like okay could have worded

29:38

that differently or maybe i could

29:40

add time something differently the ultimately

29:42

my resolve

29:44

all conveyancing my

29:47

now there was more

29:49

help the up for other

29:52

than there was hurt to me and me sharing

29:55

yeah our picks up

29:57

mouth to that because i think that

29:59

that is you you them

30:02

the are

30:04

that are you using your guest and

30:06

that is using your boy for activate

30:08

them i understand why some people may say

30:11

i don't know how you do it because i'm be quite

30:13

honest my billie to be on the front

30:15

line from the beginning to time privilege

30:18

rap all around you had a my privilege

30:21

the fact that i can stand on the front

30:23

lines in in my own way

30:25

right now and fell i want to be clear

30:27

and understand the every one activism

30:30

look very different the

30:32

hey he arm

30:34

or the lack thereof the sitting

30:36

on the front line in the same way i do or you

30:38

do may be much different for other

30:40

people who have different resources

30:43

limited resources different responsibilities

30:46

just different life experiences in

30:48

general right and so when i'm i'm screaming

30:50

and i'm judging and i'm like now you gotta

30:53

be loud yeah to be on the front line that

30:56

looks just

30:56

for different people

30:58

now is some wine oh

31:01

have a different walks of life might

31:03

be dropping their friend on

31:06

there are place they they know

31:08

they have resources and and i'll

31:10

pick you are i'll be here this i'm not pick you

31:12

up in i'll come back some of them they

31:14

might be i'm going to tell someone you're somewhere

31:17

else at this month whatever the cavalry

31:19

be my life being an alibi you

31:22

know now all of that all that but

31:24

would you have to do is some

31:27

things but i think one of the things

31:29

you do so well and

31:31

people don't understand how much courage and

31:33

strength it takes is join

31:37

it anyway

31:38

doing it anyway i am going to say

31:40

something wrong for the time

31:43

you call me tonight tomorrow i guarantee

31:45

you i'm going to say something that might

31:47

not be perfect and name

31:49

is a comment make a decision made all

31:52

of these things but

31:53

im believe i am

31:55

here because my answer is to

31:57

fight for the freedom of our people write about

31:59

don't understand how v

32:03

you can be com

32:04

from doing all of those

32:06

an enduring everyone

32:09

else is opinion of

32:11

how you did it when you did it fly

32:13

when did it was doing nothing

32:16

at last night and

32:19

i'm not alone

32:21

they're not allowing brace by day

32:24

human near of all

32:26

of us as opposed to saying you know what amanda

32:29

thank you

32:31

for speaking through every

32:33

single day in

32:35

the sense of me and my

32:37

is

32:38

the front of in our community know

32:40

why

32:41

the ever going to get that one hundred percent

32:43

right is or will we think about this

32:46

against row when we think about this fight

32:48

against the government in all of these

32:50

other things great have got to

32:52

be given even to our leadership

32:55

and those who are trying to move benito to

32:57

say

32:58

there's no blueprint for the shit right

33:00

like we're figuring it out each and

33:02

every day but what we are

33:04

all collectively doing

33:07

is committing are worth

33:09

ourselves and our voices for

33:11

processing and descending that freedom and

33:13

i hope that people will hear that over

33:16

and over again do you see if someone

33:18

is going to say it wasn't enough

33:20

someone is gonna say i could have chosen

33:22

to be instead of h yeah

33:24

none of that matters do

33:27

something vs ah scared

33:30

protect and defend what you

33:32

know is right for

33:34

ourselves and for others and

33:36

so yeah tamblyn on a tangent they

33:38

are but i just have to say and i

33:40

commend you because don't think people

33:43

and they and how difficult

33:45

it can be

33:47

stand up and to be honest

33:49

the football and censored in in what

33:51

you doing

33:52

i mean i i definitely by myself sometimes

33:54

this like damn said i said that like was

33:56

that was and the canal the paper my that obama

33:59

that email

33:59

the get from you know like uses

34:02

m i must lose his identity ah

34:04

you know and that comes with

34:07

reading about just injustice you know i've seen

34:09

friends of mine who have supported

34:11

palace in like be blacklisted you

34:14

know i've seen friends of mine

34:15

who have i'm he

34:17

knows it is

34:18

questions about nino

34:21

faction the cetera i've seen them had

34:23

opportunities taken from their lives seem friends

34:25

of mine who in frying

34:28

to correct past wrongs

34:30

are still you know sequestered

34:32

to their former selves even

34:34

inconsistent it's home and and pursuit of

34:37

a higher version right so they may say

34:39

so it can be very ah

34:43

they can be very unattractive

34:45

have a choice to make by will

34:47

say that

34:49

the other part of this that that we're stepping into

34:52

is a says it's about being on the front line

34:54

anymore and just being subversive

34:56

or in challenging the mainstream

34:58

but now

34:59

we are many of us put in a position

35:02

of criminality that we were not in before

35:04

right now yes out a thing

35:06

like when we

35:07

about criminal than we thought about week the judge me

35:09

that we pass on from so often we

35:11

don't realize that would determine somebody to

35:13

be a criminal assemblies is the law of that time

35:15

and who's in power

35:17

yeah

35:18

literally i literally as of

35:21

monday last week when

35:23

what it is fast as then my my mind

35:25

is in says oh i like

35:26

it was friday for the friday

35:29

right

35:31

that's it i'm not happy a boy

35:33

it's a blast it i think it was friday

35:35

avalon vacation and madly say some

35:37

rap with the notification com it or else i

35:39

flashed on but i believe that was friday

35:42

that within that amount of time ah

35:44

of on friday notification that

35:47

the already waited been overturned and in

35:49

higher swaths of people

35:51

for now considered criminal

35:54

yeah

35:54

the only because a regime

35:57

beams and that's so that you know that

35:59

that so that

35:59

the great is also the

36:02

element that we have to put ourselves through because i think

36:04

we forget you know martin luther king was considered

36:06

a criminal the on a positive love the top this man's

36:08

name and still him out there when it's convenient

36:10

etc they said he was a criminal

36:13

he was in a jail cell he won't

36:15

have so lazy work for the are hard

36:17

to write a book

36:18

they wanted to write a book he was in a jail

36:21

long enough to write a whole that

36:23

damn book of letters of the birmingham

36:25

jail and so as a criminal as

36:27

a criminal

36:28

larry and anti love the and now

36:31

he has his own holiday

36:32

yeah

36:34

the

36:35

the as but we thing

36:37

on a regular basis as you mentioned somehow level

36:39

you to authors

36:40

forget about the ways in which need seeing

36:42

the criminalization of this even before

36:45

this overturning because i don't think many

36:47

of us myself included were aware

36:50

that they were criminalizing on

36:52

abortion to this extent them

36:54

prior to this ruling

36:57

and black freedom enjoy his his

36:59

criminalized every turn right

37:01

in my mom often said

37:03

the rules are only made for

37:05

those who follow them and so in order

37:08

create change you probably

37:11

are gonna have to break the law yeah

37:13

not encouraging any punches program

37:16

robert the trouble part

37:18

of the design is why we

37:20

don't wanna be part of the criminal justice

37:22

system

37:23

it might give i know that i'm gonna have

37:25

to break the law but if i break the law

37:27

these are the consequences of my

37:29

actions better by

37:32

design to the tower yeah

37:34

you from breaking the law but

37:37

our freedom is attached

37:39

to breaking the law because i'm not

37:42

free under these cars

37:43

an under the current legislation

37:46

when

37:49

the newer terminal

37:50

and then you are a concierge luxury

37:53

lounge service where you can smoke

37:55

the finest sounds a lot

37:58

obama blah blah

38:00

the your point only

38:02

criminal because someone gained

38:04

it to be the case but what we understand

38:06

is that there there are some acquaintances

38:09

and impact of cremona lines

38:12

a reproductive health care

38:14

criminalizing reproductive freedom

38:16

we see it right now mississippi

38:19

alabama oklahoma

38:21

where people are serving sentences nothing

38:24

sarge already child

38:25

convicted serving sentences for

38:28

let's see i did

38:29

name

38:32

and sides with manslaughter from

38:34

drug addictions and all types

38:36

of things maybe when they didn't know they

38:38

were pregnant so many layers to this

38:40

little this is so many lay of the what

38:42

we are seeing is that this has been criminalized

38:45

or overturning roe v wade we

38:47

just get here overnight we

38:49

didn't wake up and now all of these things

38:51

are happening is very much had

38:53

been happening in the beginning now

38:56

we're adding more legislation to legalize

38:58

it were adding more research resources

39:01

to legalize it and it will continue

39:03

to impasse those that criminalization

39:06

impact the most now and also

39:08

what we matty that we're dealing we

39:10

didn't even dive into the impacted

39:12

us as on the south i think

39:14

about the hub for our

39:17

culture the hub of our

39:19

instead black cultural institutions

39:22

and saints how the we attack that

39:24

we attacked the south

39:26

we're we're

39:27

everything that's the route and the and

39:30

i'm who we are a church is everything

39:32

else we talked about

39:34

database get an abortion

39:37

in louisiana and i come to california

39:40

but the minute i fly back into

39:42

the wheezy or across the state line

39:44

and you show proof that i've had an abortion

39:47

i'm a criminal

39:48

my ob driver is a criminal is

39:50

he drove me to a location

39:53

we found that you know

39:55

and so all of these things are

39:59

that again

39:59

if you're voting

40:01

back again to if it is criminal i

40:04

how can you i ensure

40:06

that those who are in power

40:09

on a local level well now

40:12

not in

40:13

or the criminalization

40:15

of these ridiculous law that

40:17

prevents us from accessing

40:19

safe and legal abortion

40:22

the

40:24

it is intertwined on everything

40:26

that we when so when people say it does

40:28

not impact me he dies he

40:31

didn't have it impacts women

40:33

now

40:35

though so i nine gender conforming

40:38

all of them all of

40:40

us are connected to this any

40:42

we don't see it

40:45

why i want every group an organization

40:48

that

40:49

the marches and five when

40:52

we have in their asses say

40:54

40:59

41:07

p m re san wow

41:10

levitt right now where

41:12

are you right now this

41:15

doesn't have to be the is it is

41:17

it doesn't have to be the conversation of what are they gonna

41:19

attack net one

41:21

of us is not free none of none

41:24

of us are free so let's

41:26

fight became just is now

41:28

so we don't have to continue

41:30

to say but what's going to come that the what's

41:32

gonna come next when

41:35

it was in entire and because i know you

41:37

hear me talking about reproductive justice on reproductive

41:39

freedom but at the next police shooting

41:42

the next time a black person

41:44

probably happening right now while we're on our

41:47

what you're going through the criminal justice i

41:49

want to see not women's rights

41:51

movement i want to see that

41:54

roe v wade activists

41:58

so are at i don't want you to hear

41:59

the a paragraph find something to be

42:02

hypocritical on us me on something

42:04

this isn't it down and so i

42:06

am holding

42:08

the movement

42:10

the i'm doing air

42:12

quotes the feminist movement because as a whole

42:14

nother conversation yesterday point

42:16

as accountable and responsible to show

42:18

up in the face of injustice all

42:21

the town because i'm a tesla if we

42:23

showed up better

42:24

thrive on

42:26

was town and we showed

42:28

up that we

42:30

are we so that back then

42:34

we would have more representation

42:36

and a stronger boys right now

42:39

and

42:39

i you know i think it's hilarious

42:41

but not how we can separate

42:44

the injustices and

42:46

so

42:47

you i mean i've i've had people when i was

42:49

talking about immigration you know i had people saying you

42:51

know this isn't a business they don't help us the why do we help

42:54

then i'm like will first one immigration is as specifically

42:56

just relegated says slutty next people

42:58

so the most important

43:00

people are the actually departed

43:03

so good

43:04

for that black pencils sow know

43:06

that but also

43:08

i'm trying to know someone demonstrating

43:10

the show that i want to do with as i

43:13

want to see that both on

43:15

the lackey like side who have made immigration

43:17

a very specific part of their work i want to

43:19

see them selling us when we see police

43:21

brutality going down because police brutality and

43:23

going out against immigrants and ice

43:25

and border police all that shit it's all related

43:28

we're absolutely absolutely

43:31

imagine imagine someone

43:33

living in the u s e the like right

43:36

now need access to an abortion

43:39

as though he their lives

43:41

and assess whether liquid legal and

43:43

or not legal matters legal whole

43:46

that layer

43:48

here are torture in trauma

43:50

is placed on math person their family in their

43:52

community each sitting here because guess

43:55

what if you go outside his stick to receive

43:57

killer you have complications and you combat sins

44:00

the hospital can you go to a dire

44:02

right if he care for complication

44:05

since you have from either i'm

44:07

saying procedure

44:10

medication or an illegal

44:12

for the the procedure medication know

44:15

him that him pass every single

44:17

one of us because now it

44:20

has a job market now in texas

44:22

community now an impact your

44:24

waste time when you need to get into the emergency

44:26

room for something mouth and

44:28

there are now trying to sleep accoutrements

44:31

in the should not have been allowed to happen around

44:33

and found

44:34

the interconnectedness of best

44:36

and listen you should they should also

44:38

be so board meeting become one of the things

44:41

they're taking away from the curriculum is sex

44:43

education so now we remove sex

44:45

education you don't want to fight for them

44:47

in one sense you'd have none of this has

44:49

anything to do with you and

44:51

we are

44:52

here we are it is going to

44:55

touch your doorstep one

44:57

way or another heat and you can

44:59

deal with the now are you can

45:01

deal with the impact later

45:04

which will be

45:05

oh i guarantee and

45:07

we don't want to do that because it's already

45:10

too damn much

45:24

he can play

45:26

the people game it moves on before

45:28

we get out again

45:30

no no doubt about that

45:32

night you don't hear

45:34

me on the boat nope nope nope nope use

45:37

your culture how your story

45:40

storytelling for those who create content

45:42

for those who have amazing tic

45:44

tacs instagram everything else

45:47

create concepts and normalize

45:49

this language i don't know

45:51

i have yet to see eg

45:54

this been fertilized without as far as

45:56

far as i'm somewhere

45:58

what you like

45:59

came from somewhere since i screwed

46:02

up

46:05

that there might be near

46:09

i don't wanna don't that the that the

46:11

gymnastics

46:13

where are you know

46:14

he got where are you and

46:17

so what can we do right now we can

46:19

vote and we can reduce stigma

46:22

and shame use your boys

46:25

use your culture i

46:27

wanna say use your logic and common sense

46:30

but we know that's not where we are use

46:32

what you have to

46:34

, some yeah

46:36

yeah community here community my be

46:38

your friend circle and my be your family

46:40

you know i might be

46:41

the classrooms i am i

46:43

being

46:44

you know your coworkers by i think

46:46

you know sissy we

46:48

really don't understand how

46:51

effective simply just speaking

46:53

and using the grapevine can

46:55

be and so much of the access

46:58

and the advancement that black votes in particular

47:00

of has has been worried about whether

47:02

it's about our arch

47:05

or about our movement etc it's

47:07

the word of mouth

47:08

we are all

47:09

the process of radicalisation and if you

47:12

do not see that as a part of your process than

47:14

you are a part of the enabling

47:16

of these things happening and not

47:18

just nasa's happening but of them becoming

47:21

the new normal

47:22

and they have what all the by should be

47:25

very very fearful that

47:26

this getting further and further

47:28

down the road to where it becomes a new

47:31

normal when we look at our leaders

47:33

there had been put in place right now we do need

47:35

to vote people out but we also

47:37

need to challenge the polls that are implying fine

47:40

how to see that and do what needs to be

47:42

done and that comes and calling

47:44

he representatives that comes with emailing your

47:46

representatives and that comes and calling out

47:50

rep then

47:52

they are they are all seen the twitter

47:55

there are other young to instagram there they

47:57

are seeing it and

47:59

what we march

48:02

that is part of a multi

48:05

prong the effort to raising our

48:07

voices

48:08

who

48:09

and when we raise our voices what it does

48:12

is it empowers the folks who are already

48:15

we find by the way that are in

48:17

these positions of power it empowers them to

48:19

feel like you know what i can say about one

48:21

thing i need to do because

48:22

feet are rooted in the people yeah yeah

48:25

hockey community has been i say here

48:27

from the beginning enzyme i'm for many

48:29

who are here in this country community definitely

48:32

had been that's

48:34

a shame that to this point we have

48:37

to use it wasting time criticizing

48:39

how other people choose to show up at

48:41

says activists is is lastly

48:43

there is a waste of time we have

48:46

to do something if you can't march you

48:48

call a young person who can march and say

48:51

right man number on your arm

48:53

in a sharpie because when you do get

48:55

arrested you need to be able to call someone

48:57

to bail you out i might not be able to make

48:59

that march but i might at this moment be

49:01

able to bail you out that's my role

49:04

as and everybody has

49:06

their role in the fight

49:08

we have to support one another when you see someone

49:10

stepped out there courageously

49:13

to share their boys san

49:15

with them less even if you don't

49:17

have the boys to say the same thing

49:19

or at the moment let them know

49:21

space you have their back in

49:23

their support he says i'm

49:26

fighting can be really really lonely

49:29

they can be extremely

49:31

isolating and you can see others

49:33

it's everybody just

49:36

wants to see you sale or

49:38

wants to be part of the down bar and

49:41

we need suppose the

49:43

support one another

49:45

who have the courage

49:47

to get out the i do the work and so if

49:49

there is a candidate

49:50

the running for office it you don't one hundred

49:52

percent if you don't

49:54

one hundred percent approve of but

49:56

she eighty percent approve of it

49:59

the

49:59

a point now you're doing the work

50:02

began the i am having that

50:04

person in office could be another

50:06

moment like this right i don't have

50:08

50:15

of my community and sell the

50:18

be stop and support

50:21

and sensible work for those who are doing

50:23

50:27

doing the work differently than we do i'm

50:30

that their power in numbers

50:32

and unity and there is no safety

50:35
