Oh wow Festividder I'm crying here and this is in no way going to be coherent but first of all thank you so much for making this! This is amazing and just what I wanted--a vid focusing on the people protesting and the power of resistance. The song choice was perfect; I love Janelle Monae and this is a march song if there ever was one. I love that you show the determination, anger, grief, solidarity, and joy of the protests; that you included even more names, including those of trans women who've been murdered; that you center people speaking for themselves; and oh man, the tie to the past movement! I'm going to watch this again and again, particularly on the days those hashtags roll across my dash. Thanks again so much for making this!
