Emphasizing her responsibility as an artist, Doechii spoke out for marginalized groups and called for solidarity against oppression, urging the audience to fight for a hopeful and inclusive future free from fear and hate.
"There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order...The military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?"
"People are being swept up and torn from their families, and I feel it's my responsibility as an artist to speak up for all oppressed people."
"We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear, and I hope we stand together...against hate and we protest against it."
