Published | Video Starts at 40:06

You can't do everything, but there's one thing that you can do. I see it in Bemidji, Minnesota, with people standing on the overpasses and holding their signs. I see it in people standing in front of the ice buildings and peacefully protesting folks being hauled off by masked government officials to God knows where. You have the power, just as we all do here, to make a difference, and we're doing everything we can to make that difference. But we need you. (40:06–40:18)
