"So, you know, I’ve been watching the DNC for the last four days and I will tell you, it just accumulative. You know, and I think that, Vice President Kamala Harris said it best, you know, it is or and Michelle Obama: You know it doesn’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to overthink it, but just do something. And the most important thing is to vote. You know, I always say I don’t vote for myself. I vote for the circumstances around me. I vote for my family. I vote for my family circumstances."

"It is just, you tear up because you know how important it is. It’s important, you know. And, you got to do something. So if you feel that feeling of dread, that feeling of what to do, just do something. Even if it is you voting by yourself or you saying telling someone else the importance to vote, you know something. Just do something."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jennifer Stephens Pierre, Oakland resident:
"Being in Oakland and just being able to see where she’s from, I think is not only inspiring to me and I’m 50 plus, but inspiring to my daughter, who also wants to be an attorney. Inspiring to all the little girls to know that, you know, the person that’s sitting next to you in elementary school may just one day become the president of the United States. And you know what? You don’t have to be perfect to do it. You don’t have to be perfect."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Natre Burks, Oakland resident:
"Electrifying, just to hear all the energy in the room of all the people coming together. I love that she was saying for the people, because it’s not about whether you’re blue, whether you’re red, but about, just about how the impact of our lives of coming together and, and being able to have our own rights, being able to be seen for the people, the middle class, the poor, the underserved, those that can’t stand up for themselves just to know that she is a woman that is strong, that she came from a strong woman, to hear her sisters stand up and be there for her in the most amazing way, to hear her husband be there for her in the most amazing way. And just to see various people from all different backgrounds, all different color, nationalities, different populations, demographics, all in support to to create an environment where we’re unified rather than an environment where we’re divided."
