12. SOUNDBITE (French) Jaspal De Oliveira-Gill, local activist for New Popular Front:
"We have plenty of new people coming in every day and at the last door knocking I was the only one with some experience and I had only new people with me. We usually pair seasoned volunteers with new ones to train them but this time, we had to do an ‘express training session’ and send them out. that’s how you learn. It all went well for everybody but, with this influx of people… well, it was a fun experience. They liked it and they came back. This political moment that we’re in is also interesting because of this."

14. SOUNDBITE (French) Jaspal De Oliveira-Gill, local activist for New Popular Front:
"There’s a good dynamic and we need to keep going and if the National Rally gets a majority, we’ll have to hold protests but even if the New Popular Front secures a majority, we’ll still have to demonstrate to help get reforms through. In 1936, there were protests that led to all the social progress. We’ll be present after July 8."

20. SOUNDBITE (French) Thibaut Pham, 25, local volunteer:
"People of all ages but also and maybe more predominantly my generation, feel demoralised because we feel the government doesn’t listen to us. We feel that we currently have a government that is not from the far right but, with a number of decisions that it’s made, certain reforms including the pension reform, it tends not to listen to voters, popular demands, and not even listen to its own MPs. When you hear that, it’s hard to be surprised that young people don’t get involved and feel a bit sad or try going down different paths, for better or worse."
21. Mid of volunteers listening to speeches
22. SOUNDBITE (French) Thibaut Pham, 25, local volunteer:
"Today, with all of the issues that we face, with this possibility that we may see the far-right rise to power, or just get the same government again and its policies that a lot of people don’t agree with, I feel it’s the ideal moment to get involved. First, to protect ourselves from the danger of having the National Rally, and at the same time, push a different platform, environmental values, social values, and get France moving in the right direction. I know that a lot of people are motivated and that’s why I wanted to be here tonight, to show that we’re motivated, convince others, at my level."
