Published | Video Starts at 00:20

I said it was solidarity. I said it was the force we need to vanquish our biggest foes. And I don't mean Wemby and the Spurs. Solidarity is the force that we need to vanquish Trump's fascism, to abolish ICE and to stand up to the billionaires who [are] rigging our economy against us. This campaign here was born out of solidarity. Now, solidarity is not the same as unity. Unity means we already agree. Solidarity means we do the work to build bridges, even across significant differences. (00:20–00:35)

CLAIM

Asserts that solidarity is needed to combat Trump's policies, abolish ICE, and oppose economic manipulation by billionaires.
