We have to double down in this fight because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We will not let an illegitimate Supreme Court corrupt our voting rights and create a 21st century Jim Crow. Our elections must be free and fair, not bought and paid for. And when bigoted, hateful politicians want to criminalize and erase the LGBTQ community, we know it is our job to have love in our hearts. And that is why. (08:51–08:58)
