00:00 We're obviously in an election year and there are so many pressing issues, but what are
00:04 some things that you want voters to be thinking about when they head to the polls in November?
00:07 I want you to be thinking about your kids and your families.
00:10 This vote that you make is not just about who you're going to elect to office, it's
00:13 about what we want this country to be.
00:16 It's about what values we hold.
00:17 It's about making sure that our kids have more rights than we have today.
00:21 So I want folks to take that with them every single day and remember that November 5th
00:24 is the last day of this election.
00:26 For people that care about democracy, that care about LGBTQ+ rights, that care about
00:30 reproductive rights, there's something you can do every day between now and November
00:34 5th to make sure that our voices are heard.
00:37 Well, one of the things that we talk about every day at Baby to Baby is that one in two
00:42 families in our country are struggling to afford diapers.
00:46 So we've distributed 200 million diapers to families in need and we know when we can provide
00:52 diapers that families are able to put food on the table, keep their lights on and pay
00:56 their rent.
00:57 So it's something we work on every day and we really hope that the election is based
01:02 on making sure that families have everything they need to provide for their children.
01:06 I want them to keep in mind that equity is possible and that means that we have to vote
01:14 wisely and we have to exercise our right to vote and that we have that power.
01:21 The issue is make sure that bitch doesn't get in on it.
01:25 That's the issue.
01:27 Go out and vote and make sure he doesn't get in on it.
01:31 I always think it's important to focus on education.
01:34 I think that's always, I mean, as someone who's taught in schools, I know what schools
01:39 need and I know how things have been redlined in so many ways where arts have been taken
01:43 out of schools, public schools.
01:46 I think there needs to be more legislation saying that we need arts education, that's
01:52 part of it.
01:53 I think voters should be paying attention to our democracy in general.
01:58 Definitely I believe abortion is on the ballot and I think that people need to really pay
02:03 attention to how their vote affects not just the next four years, but the next 40 years,
02:11 the next 400 years.
