We shall fight in the car washes and the Home Depot parking lots. We shall fight at food trucks and on farms, and in bars, restaurants, and dispensaries. We shall fight in our homes, businesses, and churches. We shall never surrender.

This may be the most dangerous time in our state’s history. Let us brace ourselves to our duty to stop this American tyranny.

And let us bear ourselves so that, if our Golden State lasts another thousand years, future Californians will look back and say, “That was our finest hour.”
