EXCERPT:
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “You may not need this skill for yourself, your friend may need it, a loved one may need it, a neighbor may need it, and really what all of —one of the best forms of defense is solidarity with each other and looking out for each other. So let's get to it, let's talk about eviction defense. Evictions at their core are about power and it's about how people use certain degrees of power over you and the vulnerable and the working class. And so, to fight that power, to fight the power of money, we need people power. We need to organize individuals, neighbors and friends around us."
