00:00Listen, this is it, when it comes to your ability to impact the future of this country.

00:11And that comes through a vote.

00:13And just looking at the scope of history, you cannot tell me, and I know it moves slow,

00:20I know it moves slow and deliberate, but you cannot tell me progress has not been made,

00:27right?

00:28We are on the precipice and have an opportunity to elect the first female president, as well

00:35as the first black female president in the history of this country, when black women

00:46only have had the right to vote less than a hundred years.

00:54I mean, this is, it's amazing, right?

00:57So progress is happening, even though it seems it's so slow.

01:01It's like my son, he keeps growing, but I can't tell he's growing day to day.

01:05But I know over time he's growing.

01:07We have an opportunity for true growth.

01:09Do not sit this one out.

01:11Don't sit it out.

01:13You may not have gotten what you wanted before.

01:15You may not get exactly what you want in the future, but know this, sitting it out is a

01:19vote for Donald Trump.

01:21And if that's the future you want to have, then I don't know what to say, but I do know

01:28that you'll have an opportunity with a president that we, all of us on this Zoom, would be

01:35able to reach and make suggestions and try to hold accountable.

01:41That will not happen in a President Trump presidency.

01:43We will not be able to have those same conversations.

01:47So just for that very fact of being able to have the audience, don't sit it out.

01:54We need you.
