00:00As we all know, silence equals death.

00:05And what we're hearing right now from our politicians is silence.

00:20Silence is what I'm hearing from the media,

00:22especially when marginalized communities of color,

00:25and especially the trans community,

00:27is heavily affected by gun violence.

00:30Silence is what gun violence in the undocumented community sounds like.

00:34Because the truth of the matter is,

00:36if you live in the undocumented community

00:38and you face gun violence or sexual assault or discrimination,

00:41you're not going to go to the government to fix it.

00:43Because if you go to the government,

00:45you're more likely than not going to be deported.

00:55The only way that we're ever going to be able to work together, though,

01:03is if we can put down our partisan divides

01:05and our divides within each other

01:07and putting each other into different categories.

01:09No matter if you're trans, gay, lesbian, or bi,

01:12we have to work together to solve all of our issues.

01:15Because we are all here to fix issues for each other.

01:18Don't let our politicians divide us.

01:21Don't let ourselves divide us.

01:23We're here to fight with one weapon, and that is love.
