'And, yeah, it's just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter. That's all I'm going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much. I can't believe this.'
