| 0:00.0 | We have an entire country of survivors and people who are allied with the survivors, and we are going to insist that the truth come out, that justice be done and the perpetrators be held accountable in every single case. |
| 0:20.4 | That's the importance of us getting |
| 0:22.1 | through this documentation to the underlying facts. And I want to thank all the survivors here |
| 0:27.5 | for waking up every day, just like the people of Minneapolis and going right back to the front |
