But we, we choose something different. We choose freedom.’
The video further said, “Freedom to not only live, but to move. Freedom to be safe from gun violence. Freedom to make decisions about your own body. We choose a future where no child lives in poverty. Where we can all afford healthcare. Where no one is above the law. We believe in the promise of America and we’re ready to fight for it. Because when we fight, we win. So join us. Go to KamalaHarris.com and let’s get to work.”
