00:00Well, overall, if you look through the document, there's so many things that they kind of cover on and talk about.

00:06And I really do think that it's going to set us back and to cause a lot of obstacles and division.

00:13And it really, if you look back at it, it's coming, it's almost a pushback.

00:19And so I say that to say that in 2020, with the rise of BLM and after George Floyd,

00:26we really saw people coming to the streets and protesting and even talking about voting rights.

00:31And so it seems like for the past two years after that, there's been pushback.

00:36And so Project 2025, along with the with the acts that restrict voting rights,

00:42it's it's really all an attempt to set us back and to.

00:48And I think that we need to find a way to challenge it.

00:52I mean, I think the first thing to do is to if you are old enough to go out and vote, I can't vote myself.

00:59But I think just really. And if you're in a similar position of me, just encourage people to go out and vote.

01:05Encourage your your cousins or a lot of kids my age have an older sibling.

01:09So just encourage your sibling to go out and vote.

01:13And I think that there are and even not just the federal elections, but also more local elections,

01:19because I think that there are so many people and politicians who have ideas worth listening to.

01:24We just have to come out and support that.

01:27And I think that really like the vote and specifically, I think also the black women voting.

01:33We did it last time for the last election.

01:35I think that we can really do it again and save and save our country and really the world from this Project 2025,

01:43because it's just going to create more division.

01:49It's going to create more division.
