00:00 How do you feel like individuals like me and just the rest of the general public, how can
00:05 we contribute to supporting the strike?
00:08 I mean getting out there and you know, get out there with your sign, speaking up, speaking
00:13 up instead of always speaking against.
00:17 I think that people don't have a real true understanding or even respect for the acting
00:22 community as much as people love, you know, going to click on certain networks and watch
00:30 their shows and they go, "Oh girl, I got to watch my show.
00:32 Did you see what happened?"
00:33 Do you know that can all go away?
00:35 Or it can all be commuted?
00:37 Right.
00:38 You know, like what are we, are we serious?
00:40 I think, you know, speaking up for it.
00:46 Trying to educate yourself on the matter instead of just throwing out harsh words on something
00:51 that you have literally no idea about or barely any, barely any information on.
00:59 And realize that you're also hurting the community that's already hurting.
01:04 You're hurting a community that's already hurting.
01:06 You're hurting the community that is, you know, already fighting and up against a very
01:15 huge wall.
01:17 Right.
01:19 So I think, I think, you know, if you ain't got nothing nice to say, our mommas and grandmas
01:25 always told us, "If we ain't got nothing nice to say, then what?
01:27 Don't say nothing at all."
01:28 And especially if you don't, if you, if you don't have as much information on it as you
01:34 might need before speaking up on it.
