CROWD: Free her!
DANIELLE METZ: We have a lot of work to do.
But this is a small feat for our president.
WOMAN: Yes!
- A very small feat, because he don't have to go to the Supreme Court.
WOMAN: That's right!
- He don't have to go to Congress.
The power is in the presidency.
I know what it feels like to be separated from a family.
I know how it feels sitting in a fetus position, begging and pleading with God, "Give me one more chance."
I am home, but I am not free.
I am not free because my sisters are not free.
Free her.
