But I want to come back to what's happening here in California and how we can actively participate.
And for states that aren't part of moting, we're focused right now on early vote activation with the entire No Kings Coalition.
And First and foremost is to get people together to vote early and vote together so that our votes will be undeniable.
And people scratch their heads and they say, what do you mean? What are you talking about? Well, this past election cycle, after 20 years of surviving an authoritarian government, 80% of Hungarians got out and voted.
They voted in an election where the regime in power had control over all media.
And the opposition candidate was relegated to five minutes in the middle of the night, like 1am, 2am to be able to speak to voters.
He went out and he talked to people everywhere.
80% of people got out and voted and it was a landslide for him.
And the reason why we got to get our votes out is so that we're not in that position where the opposition has to speak.
And it doesn't matter what side where the opposition has to speak for five or maybe don't even get a chance to speak in some countries.
That's right.
And you may be on what you think is the right side of that right now, but eventually you will be on the wrong side and you will want to say your piece.
So make sure it's fair for everybody so that you're always on a side where you get to speak.
That's right, that your vote will count, that you will get to vote in a free and fair election and power will be ceded to the winner.
So those are all really important.
