-I don't believe only in
reproductive freedom.
I believe in reproductive
justice.
And what that means is that just
because a woman
or let's also not forget someone
in the trans community,
a trans female,
is poor doesn't mean
they shouldn't have the right to
exercise that right to choose,
and so I absolutely would cover
the right to have an abortion.
-Civil rights is the place
to begin,
but in the African American
civil rights community,
another place to focus on
was to stop the lynching
of African Americans.
We do not talk enough
about trans Americans,
especially African American
trans Americans,
and the incredibly high
rates of murder right now.
We don't talk enough
about how many children --
about 30% of LGBTQ kids --
who do not go to school
because of feel.
It's not enough just to be
on the Equality Act.
I'm an original co-sponsor.
We need to have a president
that will fight
to protect LGBTQ Americans
every single day
from violence in our country.
-Thank you, Senator Booker.
-So, I think of it this way.
Who is this economy
really working for?
It's doing great for a thinner
and thinner slice at the top.
It's doing great
for giant drug companies.
It's just not doing great
for people
who are trying to get
a prescription filled.
It's doing great for people
who want to invest
in private prisons,
just not for
the African Americans and LatinX
whose families are torn apart,
whose lives are destroyed,
and whose communities
are ruined.
