The speaker believes that striking and shutting down operations is an effective method to compel the government to listen to protesters.

“THE ONLY WAY TO GET ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA, TO GET ICE OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS, TO GET ICE OUT OF WEIR, TO GET ICE OUT OF NIKOLITE AVENUE IS TO SHUT IT DOWN.”

Jon Farina contends that mainstream media networks are ignoring significant veteran-led protests against fascism in Philadelphia.

“Hundreds of veterans out in Philadelphia to protest. So sign up as a member if you appreciate this coverage and us being out here consistently on the ground. Become a member of statuscoo.com/join and spread the word. Share with your friends and family.”

“I am so proud of all our people that are coming out. They're out everywhere. I can go several places every day to protest, so it's a good thing.”

Jolly believes that protesters should remain peaceful and nurturing, as this will help build the resilience needed for future, more difficult actions.

“This is a beautiful action. This is a soft and nurturing action. We got to practice doing this while it's easy because it's about to get hard. Okay? And so I need y'all to build your courage now. I need you to build your relationships now.”
