Gavin Newsom: “Our freedom is guarded by you when you show up, when you…”

“Seneca carried it, Selma carried it, and now it's in our hands. That's the spirit that lives in every American who still believes their voice counts, who acts like it. Our freedom is guarded by you when you show up, when you vote, when you participate, when you rise up and you refuse, generation after generation, to let go of the wheel. So let's keep our democracy. Let's prove one more time that this is a government of the people. Happy Independence Day. Now let's go defend it.” (07:50–08:01)
