Summary
In today's episode, Emily talks with guest Ari Hasanaj. He is the founder and CEO of ProjectStandTogether and his video showing him posting signs in businesses against discrimination went viral on TikTok. The mission statement for the project is this: Project StandTogether is currently standing on the front lines fighting for the rights of the American people. Vaccine mandates are counterproductive, biased, and frustrating for citizens who don't feel comfortable getting the vaccine for one reason or another. We believe that discrimination against non-vaccinated individuals is unconstitutional, along with the vaccine mandates. There is power in numbers. If we want to see change, we must StandTogether and remain united on our quest to fight these mandates. Emily and Ari share a mutual concern about where our country is headed if we all don't come together in unity and stand up against these mandates. We have a lot riding on this and they want you to know that YOU can make a difference. There are millions in this fight and every single person counts!
