We're going to defend the people of this city. Because look, his attack, let's be very clear,
00:06
the President-elect, former President Trump, his threat is not just towards new arrivals
00:13
and undocumented families. His threats are also against black families.
00:19
He has a vision to destroy public education. So when he talks about Project 2025 and dismantling
00:24
public education, we're talking about a system that has been designed to create
00:30
leveling opportunities for families who are descendants of slaves.
00:34
He's also threatening the Department of the Environment. We restore the Department of the
00:38
Environment. With global population shift and climate change that's happening all over the
00:42
planet, we're going to stand up and protect our environment. We're going to stand up and we're
00:46
going to protect undocumented individuals. We're going to protect black folks, brown folks, Asian
00:50
folks. Listen, the anti-sentiment that exists in this political space right now is unconscionable
00:57
and it's dangerous. Whether it's anti-black or anti-Semitic, we're going to protect people and
01:02
we're going to invest in people. The city of Chicago will be better, stronger, and safer,
01:08
despite who's in the White House.
