2/ "We should be furious at this virus. We should be enraged by it. We should mobilize against it in the ways that I have seen our community mobilize against other forces. We have to look at it that way." -@neilphillipsnet

4/ "If & when we do mobilize, take action, become activists against this thing that is taking our lives, we will seek the things that are right before us, that we can actually act on, to put these forces to an end." -@neilphillipsnet

5/ "I am appealing to each & every one of you who have made a decision not to get vaccinated to consider a different path. And I am making that appeal out of love." -@neilphillipsnet
