"There is a lot of fear out there based on misconceptions and yeah, they want to keep the status quo. Stuff like this, being in these groups that aren't about talking about your own problems, but are to try to change things out there. That would have scared a lot of people a few years ago….
Or made them laugh…
Yeah, but now it's taken more serious because we all together know they're not right and there's power in numbers"
