01:19:05:00	01:19:05:00	OF YOUR CABINETS ARE VERY
01:19:05:00	01:19:06:00	FORWARD FACING.
01:19:06:00	01:19:09:00	SO AS WE COME OUT OF THE
01:19:09:00	01:19:13:00	PANDEMIC JUST WANT TO REIFLER
01:19:13:00	01:19:14:00	THAT DURING COVID IN THE
01:19:14:00	01:19:16:00	SHUTDOWN MANY OF YOUR OFFICES
01:19:16:00	01:19:17:00	WERE LIKE ON THE FRONT LINE
01:19:17:00	01:19:17:00	SUPPORTING AND YOU JUST
01:19:17:00	01:19:20:00	MENTIONED THE SOCI SOCIAL
01:19:20:00	01:19:21:00	ISOLATION WHICH IS SOMETHING WE
01:19:21:00	01:19:24:00	TALK A LOT ABOUT WITH OUR
01:19:24:00	01:19:24:00	SENIORS.
01:19:24:00	01:19:25:00	AND WHEN WE HAD THE HEARING
01:19:25:00	01:19:28:00	WITH EMILY SHEA AND SHE OFTEN
01:19:28:00	01:19:29:00	REFERS TO THE SAME THING YOU
01:19:29:00	01:19:32:00	WERE MENTIONING THOSE HEALTH
01:19:32:00	01:19:33:00	RISKS THAT ISOLATION CAUSES.
01:19:33:00	01:19:36:00	IT'S THE SAME LIKE OBESITY OR
01:19:36:00	01:19:37:00	NO SMOKING SO MANY CIGARETS A
01:19:37:00	01:19:40:00	DAY.
01:19:40:00	01:19:41:00	BUT THERE'S ALSO A FIFTY
01:19:41:00	01:19:42:00	PERCENT RISK OF DEMENTIA FOR
01:19:42:00	01:19:44:00	MANY PEOPLE.
01:19:44:00	01:19:45:00	WE CONTINUE ON THIS PATH OF NOT
01:19:45:00	01:19:47:00	CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE SO YOUR
01:19:47:00	01:19:48:00	ENTIRE CABINET AND ALL OF THE
01:19:48:00	01:19:52:00	DEPARTMENTS YOU DEFINITELY ARE
01:19:52:00	01:19:55:00	DOING SUCH IMPORTANT WORK.
01:19:55:00	01:19:59:00	I ALSO MANY OF YOU MENTIONED IT
01:19:59:00	01:20:00:00	MANY OF THE DEPARTMENTS TOO
01:20:00:00	01:20:00:00	WERE NEW.
01:20:00:00	01:20:01:00	RIGHT?
01:20:01:00	01:20:03:00	IT'S LIKE A PROUD MOM WE ARE
01:20:03:00	01:20:04:00	CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS AND WHEN
01:20:04:00	01:20:07:00	A BIRTHDAY ESPECIALLY A FIRST
01:20:07:00	01:20:08:00	BIRTHDAY I THINK IT'S A TIME TO
01:20:08:00	01:20:10:00	CELEBRATE BUT ALSO TO PAUSE AND
01:20:10:00	01:20:11:00	REFLECT.
01:20:11:00	01:20:12:00	SO IT'S KIND OF TIMING UP
01:20:12:00	01:20:14:00	NICELY WITH THE BUDGET AND LOOK
01:20:14:00	01:20:15:00	BACK AT WHAT HAVE WE
01:20:15:00	01:20:18:00	ACCOMPLISHED AND WHERE DO WE
01:20:18:00	01:20:19:00	WANT TO GO FROM HERE.
01:20:19:00	01:20:20:00	SO ALWAYS CELEBRATING THE GOOD
01:20:20:00	01:20:22:00	BUT REALLY DIGGING IN TO WHAT
01:20:22:00	01:20:23:00	CAN WE DO BETTER AND I THINK
01:20:23:00	01:20:26:00	THIS IS THE TIME TO THEN
01:20:26:00	01:20:27:00	REFLECT IN THE BUDGET WHERE DO
01:20:27:00	01:20:29:00	WE NEED TO GROW?
01:20:29:00	01:20:30:00	WHAT KIND OF PROGRAMING OR
01:20:30:00	01:20:33:00	SUPPORT DO YOU ALL NEED?
01:20:33:00	01:20:34:00	I KNOW THAT DURING THE OPERA
01:20:34:00	01:20:37:00	FUNDING SOME DEPARTMENTS WERE
01:20:37:00	01:20:39:00	GIVEN A LOT OF MONEY WHICH WAS
01:20:39:00	01:20:39:00	GREAT BUT THEN MAYBE THAT
01:20:39:00	01:20:41:00	GROWTH WAS TOO QUICK OR I
01:20:41:00	01:20:42:00	NOTICED YOU HAVE MANY POSITIONS
01:20:42:00	01:20:44:00	STILL OPEN.
01:20:44:00	01:20:46:00	SO HOW CAN WE SUPPORT ON THE
01:20:46:00	01:20:49:00	COUNCIL WAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT
01:20:49:00	01:20:50:00	YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE THING TO ADD
01:20:50:00	01:20:53:00	MONEY TO INCREASE STAFFING BUT

01:25:28:00	01:25:29:00	INTO TAKING TRAININGS, I THINK
01:25:29:00	01:25:32:00	THAT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT
01:25:32:00	01:25:32:00	DIRECTION.

01:25:40:00	01:25:41:00	LEGISLATION ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
01:25:41:00	01:25:43:00	SO I THINK I'M ALMOST CERTAIN
01:25:43:00	01:25:45:00	THAT BOSTON IS WELL ON ITS WAY
01:25:45:00	01:25:48:00	TO BE DOING THE POLAR OPPOSITE

01:36:44:00	01:36:47:00	BUT YET STILL THAT BUDGET DOES

01:43:34:00	01:43:36:00	AM VERY MUCH RIGHT NOW
01:43:36:00	01:43:37:00	EMOTIONAL BECAUSE OF HOW HARD
01:43:37:00	01:43:39:00	THE WORK IS THAT WE HAVE TO DO
01:43:39:00	01:43:40:00	TO CENTER OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE
01:43:40:00	01:43:41:00	BEEN INTENTIONALLY AND
01:43:41:00	01:43:45:00	HISTORICALLY EXCLUDED TO TRY TO
01:43:45:00	01:43:46:00	FIGHT FOR DOLLARS THAT SHOULD
01:43:46:00	01:43:48:00	HAVE BEEN OURS A LONG TIME AGO.
01:43:48:00	01:43:49:00	I THINK ABOUT THE BLACK MALE
01:43:49:00	01:43:52:00	ADVANCEMENT AND HOW JUST THE
01:43:52:00	01:43:55:00	LEGACY OF THIS COUNTRY IN FULI
01:43:55:00	01:43:56:00	US TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE
01:43:56:00	01:44:00:00	SOMEHOW THE DANGER AND THE
01:44:00:00	01:44:00:00	PERPETRATORS OF VIOLENCE WHEN
01:44:00:00	01:44:01:00	THE GREATEST VIOLENCE WAS DONE
01:44:01:00	01:44:04:00	TO US I THINK ABOUT THE LGBTQ
01:44:04:00	01:44:08:00	PLUS COMMUNITY AND HOW OFTEN WE
01:44:08:00	01:44:08:00	THINK THAT BECAUSE WE'RE HERE
01:44:08:00	01:44:09:00	IN BOSTON WE HAVE NO ISSUES AND
01:44:09:00	01:44:11:00	WE HAVE NO PROBLEM BUT YET
01:44:11:00	01:44:12:00	THERE'S SO MUCH HOMOPHOBIA LIKE
01:44:12:00	01:44:15:00	YOU MENTIONED IN OUR COMMUNITY
01:44:15:00	01:44:16:00	AND WE SEE HOW SO MANY STATES
01:44:16:00	01:44:16:00	AROUND THIS COUNTRY HAVE BEEN
01:44:16:00	01:44:19:00	WEAPONIZED IN WASTING THE TIME
01:44:19:00	01:44:20:00	OF THEIR OWN LEGISLATURES TO
01:44:20:00	01:44:23:00	FIGHT FIGHTS THAT DON'T EXIST.
01:44:23:00	01:44:24:00	AND SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
01:44:24:00	01:44:25:00	PRESENT FOR THE WORK THAT YOU
01:44:25:00	01:44:27:00	DO TO ALWAYS FIGHT FOR YOUR
01:44:27:00	01:44:28:00	PEOPLE AND CENTER ISSUES THAT
01:44:28:00	01:44:28:00	ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR
01:44:28:00	01:44:31:00	COMMUNITIES WHEN SO MUCH HAS
01:44:31:00	01:44:32:00	BEEN THE STRUCTURES ARE BUILT
01:44:32:00	01:44:34:00	NOT FOR US BUT ACTUALLY HARM US
01:44:34:00	01:44:35:00	AND HURT US AND THERE'S SO MUCH
01:44:35:00	01:44:38:00	WORK WE STILL HAVE TO DO TO
01:44:38:00	01:44:39:00	FIGHT FOR THESE RESOURCES.
01:44:39:00	01:44:40:00	ALL OF YOU ALSO BLACK MALE
01:44:40:00	01:44:42:00	ADVANCEMENT OFFERS OF LGBTQ
01:44:42:00	01:44:43:00	PLUS ADVANCEMENT.
01:44:43:00	01:44:46:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OFFICE
01:44:46:00	01:44:46:00	RETURNING CITIZENS.
01:44:46:00	01:44:47:00	THERE'S SO MUCH DISINVESTMENT
01:44:47:00	01:44:51:00	IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
01:44:51:00	01:44:52:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO
01:44:52:00	01:44:53:00	HAVE BEEN HARMED BY OUR SYSTEMS
01:44:53:00	01:44:54:00	AND WITH A RETURNING CITIZENS
01:44:54:00	01:44:55:00	OUR EFFORTS AND OUR WORK MUST
01:44:55:00	01:44:58:00	BE TO DO THE HEALING THAT HAS
01:44:58:00	01:44:59:00	BEEN BUT THAT HAS BEEN CAUSED
01:44:59:00	01:45:02:00	BY THE HARM THAT WE'VE
01:45:02:00	01:45:03:00	CREATED IN OUR POLICIES AND I
01:45:03:00	01:45:06:00	AM JUST DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THE
01:45:06:00	01:45:07:00	WORK THAT ALL OF YOU ARE DOING.

01:45:09:00	01:45:10:00	DON'T KNOW YOU PROBABLY DID
01:45:10:00	01:45:13:00	THAT BEFORE BUT JUST GETTING

01:45:14:00	01:45:15:00	WORK OF TRYING TO UPLIFT THE
01:45:15:00	01:45:17:00	OFFICE OF RETURNING CITIZENS
01:45:17:00	01:45:18:00	AND I KNOW THAT HE WAS SUCH A
01:45:18:00	01:45:19:00	CRITICAL PLAYER IN GETTING THAT
01:45:19:00	01:45:22:00	OFFICE TO WHERE IT IS.
01:45:22:00	01:45:23:00	SO MY LOVE TO HIM AND TO HIS

01:45:31:00	01:45:31:00	HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO
01:45:31:00	01:45:33:00	GET MORE MONEY?

01:45:37:00	01:45:40:00	SUPPORT TO YOU IN THE WORK
01:45:40:00	01:45:41:00	OF THE OFFICE BECAUSE OUR
01:45:41:00	01:45:45:00	COMMUNITIES ARE HURTING IN SO
01:45:45:00	01:45:48:00	MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AND IT IS
01:45:48:00	01:45:49:00	INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
01:45:49:00	01:45:50:00	SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN ALL THE
01:45:50:00	01:45:51:00	WAYS THAT WE CAN TO GET THE
01:45:51:00	01:45:52:00	WORK DONE.
01:45:52:00	01:45:55:00	SO JUST A FEW QUESTIONS.
01:45:55:00	01:45:56:00	I THINK THAT FOR ALL OF YOUR
01:45:56:00	01:45:59:00	OFFICES I STATED THEY'RE
01:45:59:00	01:46:00:00	RELATIVELY THEY'RE ALL
01:46:00:00	01:46:03:00	RELATIVELY NEW AND LAST YEAR
01:46:03:00	01:46:04:00	WE'RE ABLE TO ADMINISTER A
01:46:04:00	01:46:05:00	GRANT PROGRAM LIVING EVERY
01:46:05:00	01:46:05:00	SINGLE ONE.
01:46:05:00	01:46:08:00	AS I SAID WE'RE GOING TO BE
01:46:08:00	01:46:09:00	ABLE TO SEE AGAIN IN THIS CYCLE
01:46:09:00	01:46:10:00	WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM
01:46:10:00	01:46:11:00	ADMINISTERING GRANTS?
01:46:11:00	01:46:12:00	HOW DO WE SEEK TO GROW THAT?
01:46:12:00	01:46:15:00	SO JUST MORE IN TERMS LIKE THAT
01:46:15:00	01:46:15:00	SPECIFIC LINE ITEM, ARE WE
01:46:15:00	01:46:16:00	GOING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE OUT
01:46:16:00	01:46:17:00	GRANTS AGAIN?
01:46:17:00	01:46:18:00	WHAT DID WE LEARN?
01:46:18:00	01:46:19:00	WHAT STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
01:46:19:00	01:46:23:00	OF GRANT PROGRAMS?
01:46:23:00	01:46:24:00	I THINK THAT COULD BE HELPFUL
01:46:24:00	01:46:25:00	FOR ALL OF US ON THE COUNCIL TO
01:46:25:00	01:46:26:00	NO THANK YOU.
01:46:26:00	01:46:27:00	I'LL TAKE SHORTER YOU BECAUSE
01:46:27:00	01:46:29:00	YOU HAVE A LARGER GRANT.
01:46:29:00	01:46:30:00	WELL THANK YOU COUNCILOR FOR
01:46:30:00	01:46:33:00	THAT AND THANK YOU ALL FOR
01:46:33:00	01:46:34:00	WORKING WITH US IN THE BEYOND
01:46:34:00	01:46:37:00	PRIDE GRANT.
01:46:37:00	01:46:39:00	THAT WAS A DECISION THAT YOU
01:46:39:00	01:46:41:00	ALL ALLOWED LAST YEAR SO I'M
01:46:41:00	01:46:42:00	GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
01:46:42:00	01:46:43:00	I'VE LEARNED A LOT, COUNCILOR ,
01:46:43:00	01:46:45:00	IN THIS BUDGET MANAGING THIS
01:46:45:00	01:46:48:00	BUDGET, MANAGING MANAGING THESE
01:46:48:00	01:46:49:00	GRANTS.
01:46:49:00	01:46:50:00	I'VE LEARNED THAT I CAN'T HELP
01:46:50:00	01:46:53:00	EVERYONE AND I'VE ALSO LEARNED
01:46:53:00	01:46:53:00	THAT THESE PROCESSES ARE LONG
01:46:53:00	01:46:57:00	AND THEY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT
01:46:57:00	01:46:58:00	AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE
01:46:58:00	01:47:01:00	BUDGET TEAM.
01:47:01:00	01:47:01:00	WE'RE WORKING WITH THE
01:47:01:00	01:47:02:00	COMMUNITY TO TRY TO HELP THE
01:47:02:00	01:47:05:00	PROCESS MOVE ALONG FASTER.
01:47:05:00	01:47:09:00	FOR EXAMPLE, MY TEAM CAME UP
01:47:09:00	01:47:10:00	WITH A VENDOR VIDEO BECAUSE A
01:47:10:00	01:47:10:00	LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW OR
01:47:10:00	01:47:13:00	HAVE ACCESS TO BECOMING A
01:47:13:00	01:47:13:00	VENDOR.
01:47:13:00	01:47:14:00	I KNOW IT SOUNDS SIMPLE TO THE
01:47:14:00	01:47:17:00	PUBLIC BUT YOU'LL BE SURPRISED
01:47:17:00	01:47:18:00	HOW MANY PEOPLE DON'T NEED HELP
01:47:18:00	01:47:21:00	WITH A VENDOR PROCESS.
01:47:21:00	01:47:23:00	SO I'VE LEARNED THAT NEXT
01:47:23:00	01:47:24:00	FISCAL YEAR WE WILL CONTINUE TO
01:47:24:00	01:47:28:00	BE ON PRIDE BUT I WANT DIG A
01:47:28:00	01:47:29:00	LITTLE DEEPER AND TRY TO FOCUS
01:47:29:00	01:47:32:00	MORE ON INDIVIDUAL VERSUS
01:47:32:00	01:47:32:00	ORGANIZATIONS.
01:47:32:00	01:47:36:00	THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I LOSE
01:47:36:00	01:47:40:00	SLEEP AT NIGHT ABOUT BECAUSE
01:47:40:00	01:47:41:00	PEOPLE TEXT ME, CALL ME AND SAY
01:47:41:00	01:47:42:00	HEY, I'M NOT A PART OF THIS
01:47:42:00	01:47:44:00	LARGE ORGANIZED NATION SO
01:47:44:00	01:47:45:00	THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GET THE
01:47:45:00	01:47:48:00	GRANT SO NOT ONLY DO I WANT TO
01:47:48:00	01:47:49:00	CHANGE THAT SYSTEM, I WANT TO
01:47:49:00	01:47:52:00	CHANGE THAT PERCEPTION BECAUSE
01:47:52:00	01:47:52:00	THAT'S NOT TRUE.
01:47:52:00	01:47:56:00	IF YOU COULD WRITE A GRANT YOU
01:47:56:00	01:47:57:00	PROBABLY WILL GET IT.
01:47:57:00	01:48:00:00	SO I WANT TO PUT FORTH SEMINARS
01:48:00:00	01:48:04:00	WORKSHOPS TO TEACH LGBTQ FOLKS
01:48:04:00	01:48:05:00	THAT ARE NOT A PART OF THESE
01:48:05:00	01:48:15:00	LARGER ORGANIZATION HOW TO
01:48:15:00	01:48:16:00	APPLY FOR THESE GRANTS AND GET
01:48:16:00	01:48:16:00	THEM IN THE NEXT CYCLE.
01:48:16:00	01:48:17:00	SO WE ARE IN OUR SECOND CYCLE
01:48:17:00	01:48:18:00	AND THEN WE WILL PICK BACK

01:48:20:00	01:48:21:00	BLACK PRIDE BECAUSE THAT GETS
01:48:21:00	01:48:23:00	NO SHINE.

01:48:50:00	01:48:50:00	IN HUMAN SERVICES AND THE
01:48:50:00	01:48:51:00	OFFICE OF RETURNING CITIZENS.
01:48:51:00	01:48:53:00	I MENTIONED EARLIER IN MY
01:48:53:00	01:48:54:00	STATEMENT THE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
01:48:54:00	01:48:57:00	FUND WHICH PROVIDED ONE POINT
01:48:57:00	01:48:58:00	FIVE MILLION TO 59
01:48:58:00	01:49:01:00	ORGANIZATIONS SIMILAR TO WHAT
01:49:01:00	01:49:02:00	HAS BEEN EXPRESSED IN DIRECTOR
01:49:02:00	01:49:03:00	FARROW HAD EXPRESSED EARLY AS
01:49:03:00	01:49:03:00	WELL.
01:49:03:00	01:49:05:00	I THINK WE ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THE
01:49:05:00	01:49:06:00	THEME OF SOME POTENTIAL
01:49:06:00	01:49:08:00	BARRIERS FOR ESPECIALLY THE NOT
01:49:08:00	01:49:12:00	AS RESOURCE ORGANIZATIONS THAT
01:49:12:00	01:49:13:00	MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO KNOWING
01:49:13:00	01:49:16:00	HOW TO GET A VOTER ID THAT MAY
01:49:16:00	01:49:16:00	NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A
01:49:16:00	01:49:17:00	DEVELOPMENT PERSON TO SUPPORT
01:49:17:00	01:49:20:00	GREEN WRITING ETC. AND SO I
01:49:20:00	01:49:21:00	THINK ALL IN VARIOUS WAYS AND I
01:49:21:00	01:49:23:00	BELIEVE WITH A CONCERTED EFFORT
01:49:23:00	01:49:24:00	THAT WE ALL ARE GOING IN THE
01:49:24:00	01:49:25:00	DIRECTION OF HOW TO BE ABLE TO
01:49:25:00	01:49:28:00	BETTER SUPPORT THEM FOR
01:49:28:00	01:49:28:00	TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
01:49:28:00	01:49:29:00	I THINK FRANK FERRARO I
01:49:29:00	01:49:32:00	MENTIONED A PROGRAM WHICH IS
01:49:32:00	01:49:32:00	GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT AS WELL
01:49:32:00	01:49:33:00	THAT I YOU KNOW HOW TO
01:49:33:00	01:49:35:00	ACKNOWLEDGE AND UPLIFT AS WELL.
01:49:35:00	01:49:36:00	SO I THINK THOSE ARE THINGS
01:49:36:00	01:49:37:00	THAT WE'VE LEARNED THROUGHOUT
01:49:37:00	01:49:38:00	THIS PROCESS THIS PAST YEAR.
01:49:38:00	01:49:40:00	WHAT IS IT WE CAN DO AS CITY
01:49:40:00	01:49:42:00	AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS TO BE
01:49:42:00	01:49:43:00	ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR OUR
01:49:43:00	01:49:44:00	NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS?
01:49:44:00	01:49:48:00	ADDITIONALLY, SOME KEY LESSONS
01:49:48:00	01:49:48:00	WITH OFFICERS RETURNING
01:49:48:00	01:49:49:00	CITIZENS AND SOME OF WHICH YOU
01:49:49:00	01:49:51:00	AND DISCUSSED AS YOU MENTIONED
01:49:51:00	01:49:52:00	IS THERE'S BEEN YOU KNOW,
01:49:52:00	01:49:54:00	THERE'S BEEN HARM DONE BY THESE
01:49:54:00	01:49:55:00	SYSTEMS IN PLACE.
01:49:55:00	01:49:58:00	THERE'S THERE'S PREVIOUS
01:49:58:00	01:49:59:00	DISTRUST WITH CITY GOVERNMENT
01:49:59:00	01:50:00:00	AND SO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THAT
01:50:00:00	01:50:03:00	EXISTS AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO
01:50:03:00	01:50:04:00	HAVE REALLY TRANSPARENT
01:50:04:00	01:50:07:00	CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME OF OUR
01:50:07:00	01:50:08:00	COMMUNITY ADVOCATES AND
01:50:08:00	01:50:11:00	NONPROFIT VENDORS WHO ARE
01:50:11:00	01:50:11:00	REALLY JUST REALLY DISCUSSING

01:50:14:00	01:50:15:00	EXPRESSED OR EXPERIENCES ME
01:50:15:00	01:50:16:00	WITH THIS PROCESS.

01:54:21:00	01:54:24:00	WHO'S REJOINED US.
01:54:24:00	01:54:25:00	BUT I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU
01:54:25:00	01:54:28:00	HOW ARE EITHER OF YOUR OFFICES
01:54:28:00	01:54:32:00	WORKING WITH RETURNING CITIZENS
01:54:32:00	01:54:32:00	LGBTQ AND BLACK MALE
01:54:32:00	01:54:36:00	ADVANCEMENT?
01:54:36:00	01:54:37:00	AND I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR
01:54:37:00	01:54:40:00	DIRECTOR SAY THAT YOU WERE ABLE
01:54:40:00	01:54:44:00	TO BECAUSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY MY
01:54:44:00	01:54:44:00	MOVE.
01:54:44:00	01:54:45:00	YES, SINGLE HANDEDLY.
01:54:45:00	01:54:45:00	NO KIDDING.
01:54:45:00	01:54:49:00	BUT THAT WAS A PRIORITY A HUGE
01:54:49:00	01:54:51:00	PRIORITY FOR ME TO MOVE THAT
01:54:51:00	01:54:52:00	MONEY TO YOUR OFFICE FOR
01:54:52:00	01:54:55:00	CONTRACTS TO SEE THAT YOU SAID
01:54:55:00	01:54:56:00	THAT YOU SAW THE IMPORTANCE IN
01:54:56:00	01:54:59:00	THAT AND YOU EXECUTED 107
01:54:59:00	01:55:00:00	APPLICANTS AND WE PICKED THIRTY
01:55:00:00	01:55:03:00	OUT OF IT.
01:55:03:00	01:55:04:00	SO THANK YOU.
01:55:04:00	01:55:04:00	YES.
01:55:04:00	01:55:07:00	AND PROBABLY SMALLER AND THEY
01:55:07:00	01:55:08:00	NEED MUCH SMALLER AMOUNTS THAN
01:55:08:00	01:55:11:00	THEY NEED.
01:55:11:00	01:55:12:00	AND SO ORIGINALLY I HAD I HAD
01:55:12:00	01:55:13:00	REQUESTED FOR THREE HUNDRED
01:55:13:00	01:55:15:00	THOUSAND BECAUSE YOU WERE IN
01:55:15:00	01:55:19:00	NEW OFFICE AND I KNOW THAT YOU
01:55:19:00	01:55:20:00	SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE FIVE
01:55:20:00	01:55:20:00	HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
01:55:20:00	01:55:23:00	START WITH SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE
01:55:23:00	01:55:27:00	ABLE TO DO TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE
01:55:27:00	01:55:28:00	CAN GET THE SUPPORT OF MY
01:55:28:00	01:55:30:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUES TO BE ABLE
01:55:30:00	01:55:31:00	TO INCREASE THAT AMOUNT THIS
01:55:31:00	01:55:31:00	YEAR.
01:55:31:00	01:55:34:00	I KNOW THAT YOU YOU KNOW WHAT
01:55:34:00	01:55:35:00	TO DO AND THE NEED IS THERE
01:55:35:00	01:55:38:00	IT'S GREATER THAN MILLIONS AS A
01:55:38:00	01:55:42:00	CITY WE CANNOT BE ABLE TO FUND
01:55:42:00	01:55:43:00	ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS OR
01:55:43:00	01:55:46:00	CONTINUE TO DO THAT IN A BIG
01:55:46:00	01:55:46:00	WAY.
01:55:46:00	01:55:47:00	BUT I THINK THAT A SIGNIFICANT
01:55:47:00	01:55:52:00	REASONABLE AMOUNT SHOULD BE
01:55:52:00	01:55:56:00	REASONABLE.
01:55:56:00	01:55:57:00	SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS HOW
01:55:57:00	01:55:58:00	ARE YOU GUYS WORKING WITH OPAC
01:55:58:00	01:56:01:00	OR HOW ARE YOU GUYS WORKING
01:56:01:00	01:56:01:00	WITH EACH OTHER?
01:56:01:00	01:56:02:00	AND MY COMMENT IS BASICALLY
01:56:02:00	01:56:05:00	THAT IN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
01:56:05:00	01:56:08:00	THERE IS A LOT OF RACISM
01:56:08:00	01:56:11:00	ESPECIALLY WITH LIKE BETWEEN
01:56:11:00	01:56:15:00	WHITE GAY MEN AND THE BLACK GAY
01:56:15:00	01:56:19:00	MEN COMMUNITY PARTICULARLY.
01:56:19:00	01:56:20:00	THERE'S A LOT OF THAT AND THEN
01:56:20:00	01:56:22:00	IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY THERE'S
01:56:22:00	01:56:23:00	A LOT OF HOMOPHOBIA AND
01:56:23:00	01:56:27:00	OBVIOUSLY ISSUES WITH JUST
01:56:27:00	01:56:31:00	BEING OUT AND BEING ACCEPTED IN
01:56:31:00	01:56:31:00	YOUR COMMUNITY BUT ALSO SAFE
01:56:31:00	01:56:35:00	SPACES FOR BLACK BOYS OR BLACK
01:56:35:00	01:56:39:00	GIRLS, GAY OR LGBTQ IN BLACK
01:56:39:00	01:56:39:00	COMMUNITIES AND THEN WITH
01:56:39:00	01:56:42:00	OFFICE OF RETURNING CITIZENS
01:56:42:00	01:56:43:00	THEN THERE'S ALL OF THESE
01:56:43:00	01:56:47:00	STEREOTYPES ABOUT FIRST OF ALL
01:56:47:00	01:56:47:00	BLACK MEN BEING
01:56:47:00	01:56:50:00	DISPROPORTIONATELY OVER
01:56:50:00	01:56:53:00	SENTENCE OR MISTREATED OR
01:56:53:00	01:56:54:00	WRONGFULLY CONVICTED IN THE
01:56:54:00	01:56:58:00	BLACK COMMUNITY BUT THEN ALSO A
01:56:58:00	01:56:58:00	STIGMA THAT COMES WITH THAT AND
01:56:58:00	01:57:02:00	THEN NOT BEING ABLE TO REENTER
01:57:02:00	01:57:03:00	THE WORKFORCE.
01:57:03:00	01:57:04:00	RECIDIVISM RATES BEING HIGHEST
01:57:04:00	01:57:06:00	IN ROXBURY.
01:57:06:00	01:57:07:00	WE HAVE SO MANY SUBCATEGORIES
01:57:07:00	01:57:10:00	TO SO MANY ISSUES AND
01:57:10:00	01:57:11:00	INEQUITIES IN THE BLACK
01:57:11:00	01:57:14:00	COMMUNITY AND PARTICULARLY FOR
01:57:14:00	01:57:18:00	BLACK MEN AND BOYS AND YOU CAN
01:57:18:00	01:57:19:00	SEE WHY I BROUGHT EVERYONE
01:57:19:00	01:57:22:00	TOGETHER HERE IN ONE HEARING
01:57:22:00	01:57:22:00	BECAUSE IN PARTICULARLY FOR
01:57:22:00	01:57:26:00	BLACK MEN NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE
01:57:26:00	01:57:27:00	CAN PULL THEMSELVES BY THE
01:57:27:00	01:57:29:00	BOOTSTRAPS BUT BECAUSE BLACK
01:57:29:00	01:57:30:00	MEN HAVE BEEN THE MOST
01:57:30:00	01:57:34:00	RESILIENT TYPES OF HUMAN BEING
01:57:34:00	01:57:37:00	SECOND TO BLACK WOMEN BUT NOT
01:57:37:00	01:57:39:00	BUT THE MOST RESILIENT HUMAN
01:57:39:00	01:57:42:00	BEINGS IN THE WORLD TO BE ABLE
01:57:42:00	01:57:45:00	TO REALLY PAVE THE WAY FOR
01:57:45:00	01:57:49:00	BROWN AND BLACK IMMIGRANTS SUCH
01:57:49:00	01:57:50:00	AS OURSELVES TO BE ABLE TO COME
01:57:50:00	01:57:53:00	INTO AMERICA AND TO BE ABLE TO
01:57:53:00	01:57:57:00	HAVE WAYS PAVED FOR US TO BE
01:57:57:00	01:57:58:00	ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
01:57:58:00	01:57:59:00	BE IN THIS COUNTRY BUT TO BE
01:57:59:00	01:58:01:00	ABLE TO BUILD THIS COUNTRY, TO
01:58:01:00	01:58:02:00	BE ABLE TO HAVE TO SUSTAIN AND
01:58:02:00	01:58:05:00	ALL OF THE ABUSE IN
01:58:05:00	01:58:09:00	PARTICULARLY HAITIAN MEN NOT TO
01:58:09:00	01:58:10:00	BE ACCEPTED BUT TO BE THE
01:58:10:00	01:58:13:00	CULTURE THAT ACTUALLY WAS THE
01:58:13:00	01:58:14:00	FIRST TO GAIN INDEPENDENCE AND
01:58:14:00	01:58:17:00	TO EXEMPLIFY WHAT THAT LOOKS
01:58:17:00	01:58:18:00	LIKE FREEDOM FOR THE REST
01:58:18:00	01:58:20:00	OF THE WORLD AND NOW TO COME
01:58:20:00	01:58:21:00	ALL THE WAY TO TODAY FROM
01:58:21:00	01:58:24:00	REDLINING TO SEGREGATION TO ALL
01:58:24:00	01:58:28:00	OF THE SYSTEMIC OPPRESSION TO
01:58:28:00	01:58:29:00	MASS INCARCERATION TO PRESENT
01:58:29:00	01:58:33:00	DAY ALL OF THE SYSTEMIC RACISM
01:58:33:00	01:58:36:00	AND OPPRESSION THAT EXISTS HERE
01:58:36:00	01:58:37:00	IN BOSTON.
01:58:37:00	01:58:40:00	IT'S DIFFICULT FOR A BLACK MAN
01:58:40:00	01:58:41:00	TO OPEN HIS MOUTH AND SAY HERE
01:58:41:00	01:58:44:00	IN THIS CITY OR HERE IN THIS
01:58:44:00	01:58:45:00	BUILDING OR HERE IN THIS
01:58:45:00	01:58:49:00	COUNTRY I AM NOT AFFORDED MY
01:58:49:00	01:58:49:00	OPPORTUNITY.
01:58:49:00	01:58:50:00	I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE RACIST
01:58:50:00	01:58:52:00	BUT I KNOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS
01:58:52:00	01:58:53:00	AGAINST ME AND I KNOW THAT I
01:58:53:00	01:58:55:00	DON'T I'M NOT AFFORDING THOSE
01:58:55:00	01:58:56:00	OPPORTUNITIES.
01:58:56:00	01:58:59:00	HOW THEN DO WE WANT TO HAVE
01:58:59:00	01:59:00:00	THOSE TOUGH CONVERSATIONS
01:59:00:00	01:59:03:00	BETWEEN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY IN
01:59:03:00	01:59:07:00	BLACK IN BLACK COMMUNITIES,
01:59:07:00	01:59:08:00	BLACK MEN AND BOYS TO BE ABLE
01:59:08:00	01:59:12:00	TO BE ACCEPTED WITH THE WHITE 
01:59:12:00	01:59:16:00	THEN THE ALL AGAIN ALL THE
01:59:16:00	01:59:18:00	STIGMAS THAT COME WITH MEN THAT
01:59:18:00	01:59:19:00	WERE FORMERLY INCARCERATED TO
01:59:19:00	01:59:22:00	BE ABLE TO GET OPPORTUNITIES
01:59:22:00	01:59:23:00	EITHER WITHIN BOTH CATEGORIES.
01:59:23:00	01:59:27:00	SO THERE'S ALL OF THESE STIGMAS
01:59:27:00	01:59:29:00	AND STEREOTYPES AND HARMS THAT
01:59:29:00	01:59:30:00	ARE DONE AND BLACK MEN ARE
01:59:30:00	01:59:33:00	STILL PUSHED TO THE VERY BOTTOM
01:59:33:00	01:59:38:00	EARNING ONE OF THE LEAST
01:59:38:00	01:59:39:00	EARNERS, ONE OF THE HIGHEST
01:59:39:00	01:59:42:00	THAT THE HIGHEST DROPOUT RATES
01:59:42:00	01:59:43:00	IN HIGH SCHOOL, THE HIGHEST IN
01:59:43:00	01:59:46:00	INCARCERATION, THE HIGHEST IN
01:59:46:00	01:59:47:00	CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES OR
01:59:47:00	01:59:49:00	OTHER TYPES OF DISEASES.
01:59:49:00	01:59:50:00	THE HIGHER RATE FOR TESTICULAR
01:59:50:00	01:59:53:00	CANCER YOU CAN GO ON AND ON AND
01:59:53:00	01:59:54:00	ON AND ON.
01:59:54:00	01:59:57:00	WE DIE THIRTY YEARS SOONER THAN
01:59:57:00	01:59:58:00	A MILE AWAY FROM OUR
01:59:58:00	01:59:58:00	COUNTERPARTS.
01:59:58:00	02:00:01:00	HOW DO YOU WORK TOGETHER AND
02:00:01:00	02:00:02:00	HOW DO WE HAVE THESE
02:00:02:00	02:00:02:00	CONVERSATIONS?
02:00:02:00	02:00:05:00	HOW DO WE AS COUNSELORS SUPPORT
02:00:05:00	02:00:06:00	YOU IN HAVING THESE
02:00:06:00	02:00:09:00	CONVERSATIONS IN THE CITY
02:00:09:00	02:00:10:00	OF BOSTON SO THAT WE'RE NOT
02:00:10:00	02:00:11:00	DEPRIVED WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO
02:00:11:00	02:00:13:00	BE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH
02:00:13:00	02:00:14:00	BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF LOSING
02:00:14:00	02:00:14:00	OUR LIVELIHOOD TO BE ABLE TO
02:00:14:00	02:00:17:00	HAVE HONEST CONVERSATION WITH
02:00:17:00	02:00:18:00	THE ADMINISTRATION AND OTHERS.
02:00:18:00	02:00:21:00	YES, WE'RE BUILDING CAPACITY
02:00:21:00	02:00:22:00	BUT THE NEED IS MUCH GREATER
02:00:22:00	02:00:25:00	THAN WHAT YOUR OFFICERS ARE
02:00:25:00	02:00:26:00	BEING OFFERED AND TODAY IT'S
02:00:26:00	02:00:29:00	URGENT TODAY WE DEMAND THAT
02:00:29:00	02:00:29:00	TODAY.
02:00:29:00	02:00:33:00	BUT HOW DO WE EVEN BEGIN WHEN
02:00:33:00	02:00:37:00	WE OURSELVES HAVE SO SO FAR SO
02:00:37:00	02:00:38:00	MUCH WORK TO DO WITH EACH
02:00:38:00	02:00:38:00	OTHER?
02:00:38:00	02:00:41:00	IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO ANY OF THE
02:00:41:00	02:00:42:00	COLLABORATIONS, IF YOU CAN
02:00:42:00	02:00:45:00	SPEAK TO THE HARD CONVERSATION
02:00:45:00	02:00:46:00	AGAIN WITHIN THE BLACK
02:00:46:00	02:00:49:00	COMMUNITY AND GAY MEN, THE HARD
02:00:49:00	02:00:50:00	CONVERSATION WITHIN AGAIN THE
02:00:50:00	02:00:53:00	STIGMAS WITH RECIDIVISM AND I
02:00:53:00	02:00:56:00	ALWAYS GO BACK TO AMPLIFY GSA
02:00:56:00	02:00:57:00	BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT
02:00:57:00	02:01:00:00	THAT'S A MODEL THAT SHOULD BE
02:01:00:00	02:01:01:00	LOOKED AT ACROSS THE COUNTRY
02:01:01:00	02:01:08:00	BECAUSE IT STARTS AT EARLY AGE
02:01:08:00	02:01:09:00	AND IT'S GETTING EARLIER NOW
02:01:09:00	02:01:12:00	LIKE YOUNG FOLKS ARE COMING AT
02:01:12:00	02:01:16:00	THE AGE OF EARLIEST SEVEN EIGHT
02:01:16:00	02:01:17:00	AND NO MATTER WHAT WE THINK
02:01:17:00	02:01:20:00	ABOUT IT'S HAPPENING SO WE HAVE
02:01:20:00	02:01:21:00	TO DEAL WITH IT.
02:01:21:00	02:01:23:00	SO I THINK I'M GOING TO LEAN ON
02:01:23:00	02:01:24:00	AMPLIFIED GSA AS A MODEL TO
02:01:24:00	02:01:27:00	START THOSE DIFFICULT
02:01:27:00	02:01:28:00	CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE AS THOSE
02:01:28:00	02:01:29:00	AT HOME CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU OH
02:01:29:00	02:01:29:00	YES.
02:01:29:00	02:01:31:00	THANK YOU.
02:01:31:00	02:01:32:00	I'M SORRY .
02:01:32:00	02:01:33:00	SO GSA FORMERLY KNOWN AS GAY
02:01:33:00	02:01:35:00	STRAIGHT ALLIANCES IN HIGH
02:01:35:00	02:01:36:00	SCHOOL.
02:01:36:00	02:01:39:00	IT'S A CLUB LIKE ANY OTHER CLUB
02:01:39:00	02:01:40:00	DRAMA CLUB, THEATER CLUB SPORTS
02:01:40:00	02:01:43:00	CLUB.
02:01:43:00	02:01:44:00	BUT IT BRINGS THE  YOUNG FOLKS
02:01:44:00	02:01:47:00	AND THEIR STRAIGHT ALLIES
02:01:47:00	02:01:48:00	TOGETHER TO COEXIST IN THIS
02:01:48:00	02:01:51:00	CLUB AND OVER THE YEARS AT THAT
02:01:51:00	02:01:54:00	CLUB HAS DWINDLED AND THAT'S
02:01:54:00	02:01:55:00	WHAT AMPLIFIED GSA IS ALL ABOUT
02:01:55:00	02:01:58:00	IS REVAMPING THAT BECAUSE
02:01:58:00	02:01:59:00	BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE DONE
02:01:59:00	02:02:02:00	A GREAT JOB OF FOSTERING
02:02:02:00	02:02:03:00	JESSA'S BUT OVER THE LAST TWO
02:02:03:00	02:02:06:00	YEARS WITH COVID AND JUST LIFE
02:02:06:00	02:02:07:00	IN GENERAL THEY HAVE BEEN TO
02:02:07:00	02:02:10:00	THE WAYSIDE.
02:02:10:00	02:02:11:00	SO THAT'S WHAT GSA IS FOR
02:02:11:00	02:02:12:00	EVERYONE WHO'S LISTENING AND
02:02:12:00	02:02:14:00	WATCHING.
02:02:14:00	02:02:15:00	BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
02:02:15:00	02:02:18:00	JUST CREATE A MODEL WHERE
02:02:18:00	02:02:19:00	PARENTS WHO DON'T WANT TO HAVE
02:02:19:00	02:02:22:00	THESE DIFFICULT CONVERSATION OR
02:02:22:00	02:02:23:00	DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO
02:02:23:00	02:02:24:00	NAVIGATE THESE DIFFICULT
02:02:24:00	02:02:27:00	CONVERSATIONS, GIVE THEM A
02:02:27:00	02:02:30:00	SPACE AND AGAIN MAY 21ST AT
02:02:30:00	02:02:33:00	9:00 WE WILL PROVIDE IN THAT
02:02:33:00	02:02:34:00	SPACE WITH CHIEF MARCEAUX AND
02:02:34:00	02:02:37:00	HIS TEAM WITH BOSTON PUBLIC
02:02:37:00	02:02:38:00	SCHOOLS AS WELL.
02:02:38:00	02:02:39:00	WHEN IT COMES TO THE DIFFICULT
02:02:39:00	02:02:41:00	CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOMOPHOBIA
02:02:41:00	02:02:42:00	IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, THAT'S
02:02:42:00	02:02:45:00	SOMETHING THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN
02:02:45:00	02:02:46:00	TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS BEHIND
02:02:46:00	02:02:48:00	CLOSED DOORS.
02:02:48:00	02:02:49:00	AND I AGREE WITH YOU, CASILLA
02:02:49:00	02:02:50:00	WE HAVE IT'S RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
02:02:50:00	02:02:53:00	TO DO RIGHT NOW THIS THIS IS
02:02:53:00	02:02:56:00	WHY THE LAST TWO MONTHS FRANK

02:03:00:00	02:03:04:00	DIRECTOR WIN MO'NIQUE BECAUSE A

02:03:06:00	02:03:08:00	MONTH.
02:03:08:00	02:03:09:00	SO IT'S ALL INTERSECT.
02:03:09:00	02:03:12:00	SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
02:03:12:00	02:03:12:00	CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
02:03:12:00	02:03:15:00	IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY ON HOW WE
02:03:15:00	02:03:16:00	TREAT EACH OTHER IN THOSE
02:03:16:00	02:03:17:00	SPACES.
02:03:17:00	02:03:20:00	SO THE CONVERSATIONS ARE COMING
02:03:20:00	02:03:21:00	BUT IT JUST DOESN'T STOP WITH
02:03:21:00	02:03:23:00	THE CONVERSATIONS.
02:03:23:00	02:03:24:00	IT'S AFTER THE CONVERSATIONS.
02:03:24:00	02:03:25:00	HOW ARE WE GOING TO TREAT EACH
02:03:25:00	02:03:27:00	OTHER BETTER?
02:03:27:00	02:03:29:00	SO I KNOW IT SOUNDS CORNY BUT
02:03:29:00	02:03:29:00	WE HAVE TO ESPECIALLY THE BLACK
02:03:29:00	02:03:31:00	AND BROWN COMMUNITY.

02:03:32:00	02:03:36:00	PERSONALLY OR NOT BUT WE HAVE
02:03:36:00	02:03:39:00	TO BE STRONGER TOGETHER IN OUR
02:03:39:00	02:03:40:00	MESSAGING.
02:03:40:00	02:03:41:00	SO I THINK WITH FRANK AND I'S
02:03:41:00	02:03:43:00	CONVERSATION AND BRINGING THE
02:03:43:00	02:03:44:00	COMMUNITY TOGETHER WE'LL HAVE A

02:03:46:00	02:03:47:00	WHETHER WE LIKE EACH OTHER OR
02:03:47:00	02:03:48:00	NOT.
02:03:48:00	02:03:48:00	IT'S NOT ABOUT LIKE OR DISLIKE.
02:03:48:00	02:03:51:00	IT'S ABOUT RESPECT AND THAT'S
02:03:51:00	02:03:51:00	WHAT'S MISSING.

02:05:44:00	02:05:45:00	RIGHT.
02:05:45:00	02:05:46:00	AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING I WILL
02:05:46:00	02:05:47:00	CONTINUE TO DO AMPLIFY GSA ONCE
02:05:47:00	02:05:48:00	AGAIN FOR THE YOUTH ENGAGEMENT
02:05:48:00	02:05:48:00	COMPONENT.
02:05:48:00	02:05:49:00	ABSOLUTELY.
02:05:49:00	02:05:49:00	THAT'S THEIR RIGHT.
02:05:49:00	02:05:52:00	AND SO THAT'S CLEARLY IN LINE
02:05:52:00	02:05:53:00	TO THE THE MISSION AND THE
02:05:53:00	02:05:55:00	VISION OF OH YEAH.
02:05:55:00	02:05:56:00	AND THE REASON WHY WE MOVING
02:05:56:00	02:05:57:00	FORWARD WITH THAT WORK AND SO
02:05:57:00	02:05:58:00	THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL
02:05:58:00	02:05:59:00	CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.
02:05:59:00	02:06:03:00	WE DID TAKE A LOOK AT THINKING
02:06:03:00	02:06:04:00	ABOUT THE OAKIE GRANT THE
02:06:04:00	02:06:07:00	GRANTEES HOW MANY OF THEM WERE
02:06:07:00	02:06:08:00	LED BY FORMERLY INCARCERATED
02:06:08:00	02:06:12:00	INDIVIDUALS, HOW MANY OF THEM
02:06:12:00	02:06:13:00	WERE BLACK HAWK AND THAT WAS
02:06:13:00	02:06:15:00	LIKE A BREAK DOWN THAT WAS LIKE
02:06:15:00	02:06:16:00	PUT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL.
02:06:16:00	02:06:19:00	AND SO JUST ONCE AGAIN HAVING
02:06:19:00	02:06:20:00	THAT THAT PERSPECTIVE IN THAT
02:06:20:00	02:06:23:00	LINE OF SIGHT AND MAKING SURE
02:06:23:00	02:06:23:00	THAT WE'RE VERY INTENTIONAL
02:06:23:00	02:06:24:00	ABOUT THAT THAT COLLABORATION
02:06:24:00	02:06:27:00	EXISTS, I THINK, YOU KNOW,
02:06:27:00	02:06:28:00	BEYOND THE WORK THAT WE DO, YOU
02:06:28:00	02:06:30:00	KNOW, FRANK AND I GO BACK YEARS
02:06:30:00	02:06:31:00	TO THE WORK OF HELPING
02:06:31:00	02:06:32:00	RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES,
02:06:32:00	02:06:34:00	YOU KNOW, AND SO REALLY LIKE
02:06:34:00	02:06:35:00	KNOWING INDIVIDUALS FROM A
02:06:35:00	02:06:36:00	YOUNG AGE TO BE THE PARENTS AND
02:06:36:00	02:06:38:00	SEE THEIR BROTHERS, ET CETERA
02:06:38:00	02:06:39:00	FROM THOSE THAT WE'VE LOST, ET
02:06:39:00	02:06:40:00	CETERA, LIKE REALLY KNOWING
02:06:40:00	02:06:42:00	WHAT THE WORK WOULD SAY AND TO
02:06:42:00	02:06:43:00	BE ABLE TO DO IT AT THIS LEVEL
02:06:43:00	02:06:44:00	AT THIS TIME WHERE WE'RE
02:06:44:00	02:06:46:00	LOOKING AT SYSTEMS, WHERE WE'RE
02:06:46:00	02:06:47:00	LOOKING AT POLICIES AND WE'RE
02:06:47:00	02:06:47:00	LOOKING AT SUSTAINABLE CHANGE,
02:06:47:00	02:06:50:00	I THINK IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL
02:06:50:00	02:06:51:00	THING JUST TO ECHO WHAT KINDS
02:06:51:00	02:06:51:00	OF LOUISIANA I MENTIONED
02:06:51:00	02:06:53:00	EARLIER AS WELL.
02:06:53:00	02:06:54:00	AND SO AS YOU MENTIONED, THE
02:06:54:00	02:06:54:00	TIME IS NOW AS WELL.
02:06:54:00	02:06:57:00	SO THANK YOU.
02:06:57:00	02:06:58:00	I THINK THE HARD CONVERSATION
02:06:58:00	02:07:01:00	I'LL WRAP MY COMMENT UP SO THAT
02:07:01:00	02:07:02:00	I CAN BE FAIR WITH THE TIME I
02:07:02:00	02:07:05:00	THINK THE CONVERSATION IS
02:07:05:00	02:07:05:00	DIFFICULT BECAUSE WHENEVER IN
02:07:05:00	02:07:08:00	GOVERNMENT THE LOUDEST VOICES
02:07:08:00	02:07:09:00	HAD HEARD AND SO PEOPLE THAT
02:07:09:00	02:07:12:00	TALK ABOUT ENVIRONMENT OR LGBTQ
02:07:12:00	02:07:16:00	COMMUNITY OR ABORTION ALL
02:07:16:00	02:07:20:00	IMPORTANT ISSUES AND SO THOSE
02:07:20:00	02:07:21:00	ISSUES GO TO THE FOREFRONT IF
02:07:21:00	02:07:24:00	YOU WANT DOG PARK AND THAT'S
02:07:24:00	02:07:25:00	IMPORTANT AND YOU'RE LOUD ABOUT
02:07:25:00	02:07:26:00	IT, THAT'S GOING TO BE A
02:07:26:00	02:07:34:00	PRIORITY.
02:07:34:00	02:07:35:00	AND THEN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
02:07:35:00	02:07:36:00	BLACK MEN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
02:07:36:00	02:07:37:00	BLACK BODIES, I MEAN BLACK MEN
02:07:37:00	02:07:38:00	ARE MORE THAN JUST RETURNING
02:07:38:00	02:07:38:00	CITIZENS AND LGBTQ OR BLACK
02:07:38:00	02:07:39:00	MALE ADVANCEMENT OR THE NEED
02:07:39:00	02:07:43:00	OF BLACK MEN ARE OF COURSE
02:07:43:00	02:07:44:00	AGAIN THE MOST QUALIFIED TO
02:07:44:00	02:07:47:00	CHANGE THIS WORLD LIKE WE HAVE
02:07:47:00	02:07:48:00	BEEN YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH
02:07:48:00	02:07:51:00	EVERYTHING AND MORE BUT STILL
02:07:51:00	02:07:52:00	SEEN AS LESS OF HUMAN.
02:07:52:00	02:07:53:00	AND I THINK THAT WHEN A SOCIETY
02:07:53:00	02:07:55:00	PRIORITIZES THE PEOPLE AND
02:07:55:00	02:07:56:00	REACTIVE GOVERNMENT IS REACTIVE
02:07:56:00	02:07:59:00	TO POLICIES THAT FOR THE
02:07:59:00	02:08:03:00	LOUDEST VOICES THEN BECAUSE
02:08:03:00	02:08:04:00	ENVIRONMENT IS SUPER IMPORTANT
02:08:04:00	02:08:07:00	BUT MEANWHILE BLACK MEN ARE
02:08:07:00	02:08:08:00	DYING AND BLACK MEN ARE BEING
02:08:08:00	02:08:11:00	KILLED AND THERE'S INJUSTICES
02:08:11:00	02:08:12:00	THAT KEEP BLACK MEN BEHIND AND
02:08:12:00	02:08:18:00	NOT NOT EMPLOYED YET THAT'S NOT
02:08:18:00	02:08:19:00	SO MUCH OF A PRIORITY.
02:08:19:00	02:08:20:00	YOUR OFFICE WILL GET LESS THAN
02:08:20:00	02:08:23:00	PARKS YOUR OFFICE ALL OF YOU
02:08:23:00	02:08:26:00	COMBINED WILL GET LESS AN
02:08:26:00	02:08:27:00	ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE GUESS WHAT?
02:08:27:00	02:08:30:00	ALTHOUGH YOU DIE AT A FASTER
02:08:30:00	02:08:31:00	RATE THAN ENVIRONMENT CAN KILL
02:08:31:00	02:08:32:00	YOU, YOU'RE NOT A PRIORITY
02:08:32:00	02:08:34:00	BECAUSE YOUR VOICE IS NOT LOUD
02:08:34:00	02:08:35:00	ENOUGH.
02:08:35:00	02:08:37:00	AND SO I WANT US TO BE ABLE TO
02:08:37:00	02:08:38:00	HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS IN A
02:08:38:00	02:08:41:00	TRANSPARENT WAY WITHOUT FEAR
02:08:41:00	02:08:42:00	OF REPERCUSSIONS, WITHOUT
02:08:42:00	02:08:46:00	HAVING TO BE TOKENIZED OVER
02:08:46:00	02:08:47:00	OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
02:08:47:00	02:08:49:00	WITHOUT US HAVING TO ACCEPT THE
02:08:49:00	02:08:50:00	STATUS QUO OR THE CRUMBS THAT
02:08:50:00	02:08:51:00	THEY THROW OUR WAY.
02:08:51:00	02:08:54:00	WE BLACK PEOPLE BLACK MEN
02:08:54:00	02:08:57:00	DESERVE MORE THAN CRUMBS AND
02:08:57:00	02:08:58:00	THEREFORE NEEDS TO BE
02:08:58:00	02:08:58:00	PRIORITIZED.
02:08:58:00	02:09:02:00	THEREFORE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO
02:09:02:00	02:09:03:00	HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH IN CITY
02:09:03:00	02:09:05:00	HALL IN GOVERNMENT AND BE ABLE
02:09:05:00	02:09:06:00	TO WALK THROUGH THESE HALLWAYS
02:09:06:00	02:09:07:00	AND TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT
02:09:07:00	02:09:09:00	THE ISSUES THAT AFFECT US.
02:09:09:00	02:09:13:00	YES, ASIAN FOR EXAMPLE, MEN
02:09:13:00	02:09:14:00	DON'T GET SEEN ARE OFTEN SEEN
02:09:14:00	02:09:18:00	AS JUST A BODY, A MACHINE, A
02:09:18:00	02:09:19:00	WORKER NOT SEEN NOT
02:09:19:00	02:09:22:00	ACKNOWLEDGED BUT GUESS WHO'S AT
02:09:22:00	02:09:22:00	THE BOTTOM?
02:09:22:00	02:09:25:00	GUESS WHO GETS EVEN PAID LESS
02:09:25:00	02:09:26:00	THAN ASIAN MEN.
02:09:26:00	02:09:27:00	LATINOS GET TO GET PAID EVEN
02:09:27:00	02:09:30:00	LESS THAN THAT BLACK MEN.
02:09:30:00	02:09:31:00	SO IT'S NOT ABOUT US COMPETING
02:09:31:00	02:09:33:00	WITH EACH OTHER BUT MAKING
02:09:33:00	02:09:34:00	SPACE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO
02:09:34:00	02:09:37:00	SPEAK SPEAK ABOUT THESE ISSUES
02:09:37:00	02:09:40:00	IN AN OPEN PLATFORM AND BE ABLE
02:09:40:00	02:09:41:00	TO BEGIN RECONCILIATION AND
02:09:41:00	02:09:45:00	HEALING WITHOUT HAVING TO FEEL
02:09:45:00	02:09:45:00	THAT WE ARE THREATENING EACH
02:09:45:00	02:09:49:00	OTHER SPACES THE REALITY OF THE
02:09:49:00	02:09:49:00	STATE OF MATTERS IS THAT WE
02:09:49:00	02:09:52:00	BLACK PEOPLE, YOU BLACK MEN AT
02:09:52:00	02:09:53:00	THE BOTTOM OF THE TOTEM POLE
02:09:53:00	02:09:54:00	AND ARE TREATED THE LEAST ARE
02:09:54:00	02:09:57:00	TREATED WITH LESS RESPECT AND
02:09:57:00	02:10:00:00	AS MALCOLM X SAID, THE MOST
02:10:00:00	02:10:01:00	DISRESPECTED PERSON IN AMERICA
02:10:01:00	02:10:03:00	IS STILL THE BLACK WOMAN TODAY
02:10:03:00	02:10:07:00	TILL THIS DAY THIS GOVERNMENT
02:10:07:00	02:10:08:00	THIS CITY STILL TREATS BLACK
02:10:08:00	02:10:09:00	WOMEN THAT WAY AND BLACK MEN
02:10:09:00	02:10:09:00	YES.
02:10:09:00	02:10:12:00	AS JUST A BODY SEXUALIZED
02:10:12:00	02:10:16:00	COMMODITY'S INCARCERATED AND
02:10:16:00	02:10:19:00	KILLED.
02:10:19:00	02:10:20:00	AND WHEN I BEGIN TO SPEAK THIS
02:10:20:00	02:10:23:00	WAY, OFTENTIMES IT'S A LONELY
02:10:23:00	02:10:24:00	PLACE AND I'M OK WITH THAT.
02:10:24:00	02:10:27:00	BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE DOING
02:10:27:00	02:10:27:00	THE WORK.
02:10:27:00	02:10:30:00	YOU'RE DOING GOD'S WORK AND I
02:10:30:00	02:10:31:00	APPLAUD YOU.
02:10:31:00	02:10:34:00	I SUPPORT YOU BUT I WANT TO
02:10:34:00	02:10:35:00	ENCOURAGE YOU ALL OF YOU TO BE
02:10:35:00	02:10:38:00	ABLE TO STAND UP AND NOT BE
02:10:38:00	02:10:39:00	AFRAID OF LOSING YOUR
02:10:39:00	02:10:40:00	LIVELIHOOD OR WHAT YOU CAN
02:10:40:00	02:10:42:00	LEVERAGE BUT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
02:10:42:00	02:10:43:00	THIS CONVERSATION AND STAND
02:10:43:00	02:10:46:00	WITH US ALL AND PULL US ON YOUR
02:10:46:00	02:10:49:00	OUR SUPPORT AND OUR POWER TO BE
02:10:49:00	02:10:50:00	ABLE TO REPRESENT YOU AND TO
02:10:50:00	02:10:53:00	UPLIFT THESE ISSUES AND TO BE
02:10:53:00	02:10:54:00	ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK
02:10:54:00	02:10:57:00	SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY BUILD
02:10:57:00	02:10:57:00	TRUE RACIAL EQUITY.
02:10:57:00	02:10:59:00	AND WHEN I SAY IT SO THAT
02:10:59:00	02:11:01:00	PEOPLE DON'T FEEL THREATENED
02:11:01:00	02:11:02:00	AGAIN OF LOSING THEIR JOBS AND
02:11:02:00	02:11:03:00	THEIR POSITIONS OR WHY IS IT
02:11:03:00	02:11:05:00	ALL ABOUT RACE?
02:11:05:00	02:11:06:00	IT IS ABOUT RACE.
02:11:06:00	02:11:07:00	IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT RACE, ABOUT
02:11:07:00	02:11:08:00	YOU YOU NAMED ME.
02:11:08:00	02:11:09:00	YOU CATEGORIZE ME.
02:11:09:00	02:11:12:00	YOU COLORED ME AND HERE WE ARE
02:11:12:00	02:11:16:00	STILL TWENTY TWENTY THREE WHEN
02:11:16:00	02:11:17:00	I A BLACK WOMAN JUST AS LITTLE
02:11:17:00	02:11:18:00	SHORT FIVE FOOT TALL WOMAN
02:11:18:00	02:11:21:00	STARTS TALKING ABOUT IT IT'S A
02:11:21:00	02:11:23:00	PROBLEM SO IT'S NOT ABOUT ME
02:11:23:00	02:11:27:00	YET SOMEHOW WHEN I OPEN MY
02:11:27:00	02:11:28:00	MOUTH IT'S ALWAYS A PROBLEM.
02:11:28:00	02:11:32:00	THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS AGAIN
02:11:32:00	02:11:35:00	IS THAT BLACK MEN GET TREATED
02:11:35:00	02:11:36:00	THE WORST AND THIS IS WAY MORE
02:11:36:00	02:11:40:00	IMPORTANT THAN JUST THE HEARING
02:11:40:00	02:11:41:00	THAT ONLY A FEW OF US SHOW UP
02:11:41:00	02:11:43:00	TO.
02:11:43:00	02:11:46:00	THIS IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN
02:11:46:00	02:11:47:00	ONE POINT FIVE MILLION WHATEVER
02:11:47:00	02:11:51:00	ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND YOU GET IN

02:11:52:00	02:11:54:00	CITIZENS.

02:11:59:00	02:12:05:00	I LOVE YOU BLACK MEN ESPECIALLY

02:13:12:00	02:13:12:00	WHEN IT WAS NOT POPULAR.
02:13:12:00	02:13:13:00	THAT'S WHEN FOLKS WERE

02:13:20:00	02:13:23:00	SO I'VE BEEN THERE WITH THE
02:13:23:00	02:13:24:00	COMMUNITY DURING ALL OF THOSE
02:13:24:00	02:13:26:00	EFFORTS IN THOSE FIGHTS AND YOU

02:13:38:00	02:13:39:00	IT'S BEEN A REFRESHING TO SEE
02:13:39:00	02:13:42:00	THE WORK THAT GOES INTO IT AND
02:13:42:00	02:13:43:00	MAYBE JUST EXPAND A LITTLE BIT

02:14:51:00	02:14:53:00	PERMEATING OUR SCHOOLS.
02:14:53:00	02:14:54:00	SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT
02:14:54:00	02:14:55:00	SOMEONE THAT'S PUTTING SORT
02:14:55:00	02:14:57:00	OF THE FIDUCIARY CAPABILITIES
02:14:57:00	02:15:01:00	IN BUDGET CAPACITIES.
02:15:01:00	02:15:02:00	THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I'M
02:15:02:00	02:15:05:00	LOOKING FOR KNOWING YOU ALL

02:15:09:00	02:15:12:00	SO I KNOW THAT WE'RE WE'RE ALL

02:15:21:00	02:15:21:00	EVEN BETTER.
02:15:21:00	02:15:22:00	AND MY POINT I GUESS IS WHAT
02:15:22:00	02:15:25:00	ARE THE THINGS YOU KNOW WE
02:15:25:00	02:15:25:00	SHOULD LEARN OR KNOW ABOUT

02:15:33:00	02:15:34:00	THE TEAMSTERS OR IT'S
02:15:34:00	02:15:37:00	EDUCATIONAL BECAUSE WE BOAST

02:15:37:00	02:15:40:00	UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD.
02:15:40:00	02:15:41:00	WHAT GOOD IS THAT IF OUR OWN
02:15:41:00	02:15:42:00	KIDS KIDS THAT LIVE IN THE
02:15:42:00	02:15:43:00	NEIGHBORHOODS OF BOSTON DON'T

02:15:44:00	02:15:45:00	THOSE SCHOOLS AND THE ONES THAT
02:15:45:00	02:15:49:00	DO MORE OFTEN THAN NOT OUR HOME
02:15:49:00	02:15:51:00	AFTER THE FIRST SEMESTER
02:15:51:00	02:15:52:00	BECAUSE THE ACADEMIC RIGOR OR

02:15:56:00	02:15:57:00	HAPPENING EITHER IN THEIR HOME
02:15:57:00	02:16:00:00	OR IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND SO

02:22:13:00	02:22:14:00	SAYING EVERYTHING THAT MOALA
02:22:14:00	02:22:15:00	DOES IS INTENTIONAL FROM THE

02:22:22:00	02:22:26:00	BROWN TRANS INDIVIDUALS.
02:22:26:00	02:22:27:00	SO I'LL TRY TO ANSWER YOUR
02:22:27:00	02:22:29:00	QUESTION OF HOW WE MEASURE THIS

02:22:30:00	02:22:33:00	NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.
02:22:33:00	02:22:34:00	SO WE HAVE THREE PILLARS AND
02:22:34:00	02:22:37:00	THAT'S POLICY PROGRAM AND
02:22:37:00	02:22:38:00	CONNECTING FOLKS TO RESOURCES.

02:22:41:00	02:22:45:00	COMMUNITY PPR.
02:22:45:00	02:22:46:00	SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT POLICY,
02:22:46:00	02:22:48:00	THE WAY WE MEASURE IS THE
02:22:48:00	02:22:48:00	AGENDA ORDINANCE.
02:22:48:00	02:22:52:00	A YEAR AGO I ALMOST A YEAR AGO

02:23:02:00	02:23:04:00	THAN 90 DAYS BUT WE CAN POINT

02:29:40:00	02:29:48:00	UM SO SO HERE'S WHERE THE LEVEL
02:29:48:00	02:29:51:00	OF FRUSTRATION COMES FROM ME IS
02:29:51:00	02:29:52:00	THAT I HAVEN'T GROWN UP IN THE
02:29:52:00	02:29:54:00	CITY OF BOSTON.
02:29:54:00	02:29:55:00	I HAVE SEEN DECADES
02:29:55:00	02:29:56:00	OF DISINVESTMENT IN COMMUNITIES
02:29:56:00	02:29:59:00	OF COLOR AND WE ARE NOT MEETING
02:29:59:00	02:30:03:00	THIS MOMENT WHEN IT COMES TO
02:30:03:00	02:30:03:00	THE WORK BUT THESE TIMES
02:30:03:00	02:30:07:00	REQUIRE AND WE'RE ALWAYS ASKING
02:30:07:00	02:30:08:00	PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THE MOST
02:30:08:00	02:30:09:00	TO WORK WITH THE LEAST.
02:30:09:00	02:30:11:00	AND I REALLY DO THINK THAT IF
02:30:11:00	02:30:13:00	WE'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT
02:30:13:00	02:30:14:00	CHANGING THE CONVERSATION THEN
02:30:14:00	02:30:15:00	WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE
02:30:15:00	02:30:17:00	THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS AND
02:30:17:00	02:30:18:00	THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A
02:30:18:00	02:30:21:00	LITTLE BIT OF A HARD WORK.
02:30:21:00	02:30:22:00	AND QUINCY, I LOVE THAT YOU
02:30:22:00	02:30:23:00	SAID THIS IS NOT A HARD WORK
02:30:23:00	02:30:26:00	THIS HARD WORK BECAUSE THE WORK
02:30:26:00	02:30:27:00	THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS
02:30:27:00	02:30:30:00	SHIFT IN CULTURE AND SHIFT IN
02:30:30:00	02:30:31:00	THE WAY PEOPLE TREAT EACH OTHER
02:30:31:00	02:30:33:00	AND SEE EACH OTHER.
02:30:33:00	02:30:34:00	AND I THINK THAT THAT WORK WE
02:30:34:00	02:30:37:00	CAN'T LEGISLATE WE CANNOT
02:30:37:00	02:30:41:00	LEGISLATE POLICIES AND WE
02:30:41:00	02:30:41:00	CANNOT INVEST IN DOLLARS WHEN
02:30:41:00	02:30:45:00	THE CULTURE IN WHICH WE HAPPEN
02:30:45:00	02:30:46:00	TO BE WORKING IN STILL DOES NOT
02:30:46:00	02:30:52:00	SEE US OR VALUE US OR RESPECT
02:30:52:00	02:30:53:00	US.
02:30:53:00	02:30:56:00	SO THE WORK THAT THE CITY NEEDS
02:30:56:00	02:30:58:00	, IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT
02:30:58:00	02:30:58:00	MORE CHALLENGING FOR US TO BE
02:30:58:00	02:31:00:00	ABLE TO MEET THE MOMENT BECAUSE
02:31:00:00	02:31:01:00	THE APPETITE AND THE POLITICAL
02:31:01:00	02:31:07:00	WILL TO SAY THIS DEPARTMENT
02:31:07:00	02:31:08:00	THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:31:08:00	02:31:09:00	WE SEE YOU AND WE APPRECIATE
02:31:09:00	02:31:12:00	YOU.
02:31:12:00	02:31:12:00	HOWEVER DEEP INVESTMENTS IN
02:31:12:00	02:31:15:00	THIS AREA HUMAN SERVICES,
02:31:15:00	02:31:16:00	PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT THIS IS WHAT
02:31:16:00	02:31:20:00	WE NEED TO BE INVESTING IN.
02:31:20:00	02:31:21:00	WE'RE NOT GOING WE'RE NOT GOING
02:31:21:00	02:31:22:00	TO MEET THIS MOMENT BECAUSE
02:31:22:00	02:31:26:00	PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF UPSETTING
02:31:26:00	02:31:30:00	THOSE WHO PUT THEM IN OFFICE
02:31:30:00	02:31:30:00	PERIOD.
02:31:30:00	02:31:34:00	AND IN ORDER FOR US TO REALLY
02:31:34:00	02:31:37:00	SHIFT THE CONVERSATION, THEN
02:31:37:00	02:31:38:00	WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHIFT
02:31:38:00	02:31:41:00	THE WAY WE AS A COUNCIL SHOW UP
02:31:41:00	02:31:45:00	AND SO I WOULD RECOMMEND AS WE
02:31:45:00	02:31:49:00	CONTINUE TO MOVE THIS
02:31:49:00	02:31:49:00	CONVERSATION FORWARD BECAUSE WE
02:31:49:00	02:31:50:00	STILL HAVE TWO MORE MONTHS
02:31:50:00	02:31:53:00	OF THESE SHENANIGANS AS TO
02:31:53:00	02:31:54:00	REALLY TAKE A HARD LOOK AT
02:31:54:00	02:31:56:00	OURSELVES AND SAY IF WE REALLY
02:31:56:00	02:32:00:00	WANT TO REDUCE VIOLENCE WE'RE
02:32:00:00	02:32:01:00	GOING TO HAVE TO INCREASE HUMAN
02:32:01:00	02:32:04:00	SERVICES, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
02:32:04:00	02:32:08:00	TO INCREASE THE DEVELOPMENT
02:32:08:00	02:32:09:00	OF BLACK MEN AND BOYS AND SO
02:32:09:00	02:32:12:00	THAT IS ABOUT VALUES AND I
02:32:12:00	02:32:16:00	THINK THAT AS MY COLLEAGUES
02:32:16:00	02:32:17:00	CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH THIS
02:32:17:00	02:32:21:00	PROCESS, YOU CAN'T SHOW UP IN
02:32:21:00	02:32:21:00	COMMUNITY AND SAY THAT YOU'RE
02:32:21:00	02:32:23:00	GOING TO DO X, Y AND Z AND THEN
02:32:23:00	02:32:24:00	WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO ON A
02:32:24:00	02:32:27:00	BUDGET DO A, B AND C IT JUST
02:32:27:00	02:32:28:00	DOES NOT MIX.
02:32:28:00	02:32:31:00	AND SO I JUST WANT TO GO ON THE
02:32:31:00	02:32:32:00	RECORD TO SAY THAT FOR ME I'M
02:32:32:00	02:32:35:00	GOING TO BE LOOKING AT
02:32:35:00	02:32:36:00	INVESTMENTS.
02:32:36:00	02:32:37:00	I'M GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE
02:32:37:00	02:32:39:00	RETURN ON THOSE INVESTMENTS AND
02:32:39:00	02:32:40:00	IF YOU'RE NOT DOING RIGHT BY
02:32:40:00	02:32:43:00	THE PEOPLE THEN YOU WILL KNOW
02:32:43:00	02:32:43:00	ABOUT THAT TOO.
02:32:43:00	02:32:50:00	SO QUESTIONS I'M CURIOUS ABOUT
02:32:50:00	02:32:51:00	YOU KNOW, LESS ABOUT LANGUAGE X
02:32:51:00	02:32:55:00	LANGUAGE AND HOW WE TALK ABOUT
02:32:55:00	02:32:55:00	OUR PEOPLE.
02:32:55:00	02:32:58:00	WHAT EFFORTS ARE WE B ARE BEING
02:32:58:00	02:32:58:00	MADE?
02:32:58:00	02:33:01:00	I ALWAYS SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO
02:33:01:00	02:33:02:00	LEAD WITH ASSETS NOT DEFICITS.
02:33:02:00	02:33:05:00	WE'RE NOT VULNERABLE.
02:33:05:00	02:33:06:00	WE ARE RESILIENT.
02:33:06:00	02:33:06:00	RIGHT.
02:33:06:00	02:33:09:00	SO I'M JUST CURIOUS IN TERMS
02:33:09:00	02:33:10:00	OF THE WORK THAT YOUR OFFICE OR
02:33:10:00	02:33:13:00	ANY THE OFFICERS ARE DOING TO
02:33:13:00	02:33:16:00	SHIFT EVEN HOW WE TALK ABOUT
02:33:16:00	02:33:17:00	OUR PEOPLE WHO TAKE A STAB AT
02:33:17:00	02:33:23:00	THAT ADDITIONAL TO LCA IS DOING
02:33:23:00	02:33:24:00	AS I SAID EARLIER, EVERYTHING
02:33:24:00	02:33:25:00	THAT WE DO IS INTENTIONAL,
02:33:25:00	02:33:27:00	INCLUDING THE HIRING.
02:33:27:00	02:33:28:00	SO WE'RE NOT PERFECT AND WE'RE
02:33:28:00	02:33:32:00	ONLY A TEAM OF FIVE BUT WE HAVE
02:33:32:00	02:33:35:00	TWO SPANISH SPEAKING STAFF
02:33:35:00	02:33:36:00	MEMBERS AND WE HAVE ONE
02:33:36:00	02:33:36:00	VIETNAMESE.
02:33:36:00	02:33:40:00	YES, WE CAN DO BETTER WITH
02:33:40:00	02:33:40:00	LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGE ACCESS
02:33:40:00	02:33:44:00	BUT THAT IS A HUGE PART OF MY
02:33:44:00	02:33:48:00	JOB DESCRIPTION AND THE
02:33:48:00	02:33:48:00	INTENTIONALITY OF ME HIRING
02:33:48:00	02:33:48:00	FOLKS.
02:33:48:00	02:33:51:00	I'M LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT
02:33:51:00	02:33:52:00	LANGUAGES, DIFFERENT CULTURES
02:33:52:00	02:33:53:00	GOING GOING BACK TO WHAT WE
02:33:53:00	02:33:56:00	TALKED ABOUT IN IMMIGRANT
02:33:56:00	02:33:57:00	ADVANCEMENT AND HOW A LOT
02:33:57:00	02:34:00:00	OF IMMIGRANTS DON'T REALLY
02:34:00:00	02:34:00:00	ACKNOWLEDGE THE QUEERNESS.
02:34:00:00	02:34:03:00	SO WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE THAT
02:34:03:00	02:34:04:00	THROUGH EMPLOYMENT AS WELL LIKE
02:34:04:00	02:34:05:00	INTENTIONALLY HIRING IMMIGRANTS
02:34:05:00	02:34:10:00	THAT IDENTIFY AS  BECAUSE WE WE
02:34:10:00	02:34:12:00	WE COULD DO A BETTER JOB
02:34:12:00	02:34:12:00	OF THAT.
02:34:12:00	02:34:12:00	SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
02:34:12:00	02:34:13:00	THANK YOU.
02:34:13:00	02:34:14:00	THANK YOU.
02:34:14:00	02:34:16:00	LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
02:34:16:00	02:34:16:00	LITERACY.
02:34:16:00	02:34:18:00	WE ESTABLISHED A LITERACY TASK
02:34:18:00	02:34:23:00	FORCE AND WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS
02:34:23:00	02:34:24:00	THAT A LOT OF OUR RETURNING
02:34:24:00	02:34:25:00	CITIZENS ARE STRUGGLING TO READ
02:34:25:00	02:34:26:00	AND WRITE AND WE'RE ASKING THEM
02:34:26:00	02:34:27:00	TO FILL OUT JOB APPLICATIONS
02:34:27:00	02:34:31:00	AND AS WE BEGIN TO BOARD OUR
02:34:31:00	02:34:32:00	LITERACY TASK FORCE, I'M JUST
02:34:32:00	02:34:35:00	CURIOUS WHAT IF ANYTHING WE
02:34:35:00	02:34:36:00	MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO AROUND
02:34:36:00	02:34:36:00	LITERACY RATES FOR OUR
02:34:36:00	02:34:38:00	RETURNING CITIZENS?
02:34:38:00	02:34:39:00	ANY ADVICE THAT YOU COULD
02:34:39:00	02:34:39:00	OFFER?
02:34:39:00	02:34:40:00	THAT'S A REALLY GREAT QUESTION,
02:34:40:00	02:34:42:00	COUNSELOR.
02:34:42:00	02:34:43:00	I THINK I DON'T KNOW
02:34:43:00	02:34:46:00	ORGANIZATIONS OFTEN ARE FOCUSED
02:34:46:00	02:34:47:00	ON THIS TOPIC SO I CAN'T SPEAK
02:34:47:00	02:34:47:00	TO THAT SPECIFICALLY.
02:34:47:00	02:34:50:00	I THINK HOLISTICALLY THE OFFICE
02:34:50:00	02:34:51:00	IS REALLY TRYING TO IDENTIFY
02:34:51:00	02:34:52:00	THE KEY ISSUES THAT ARE
02:34:52:00	02:34:54:00	OVERTURNING US IN THE FACE WITH
02:34:54:00	02:34:55:00	AND HOW DO WE INCORPORATE AND
02:34:55:00	02:34:58:00	THEN WHAT I AM ENCOURAGING AS
02:34:58:00	02:35:02:00	CHIEF OF THE THE CABINET IS A
02:35:02:00	02:35:02:00	COLLABORATION.
02:35:02:00	02:35:03:00	SO FOR EXAMPLE WE HAVE
02:35:03:00	02:35:04:00	LIBRARIES AND SO HOW DOES THAT
02:35:04:00	02:35:06:00	WE HAVE CROSS COLLABORATION
02:35:06:00	02:35:07:00	BETWEEN OUR DEPARTMENTS AND SO
02:35:07:00	02:35:08:00	HOW HOW THE OFFICE RETURN
02:35:08:00	02:35:10:00	ASSISTANCE TO WORK CLOSELY WITH
02:35:10:00	02:35:11:00	THE LIBRARIES TO REALLY BE ABLE
02:35:11:00	02:35:14:00	TO PUBLISH THE RESOURCES THAT
02:35:14:00	02:35:15:00	THEY HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO
02:35:15:00	02:35:15:00	BE ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR
02:35:15:00	02:35:17:00	RETURNING CITIZENS AND AN OFFER
02:35:17:00	02:35:18:00	TO THINGS THAT I KNOW MY TIME
02:35:18:00	02:35:21:00	IS GOING TO BE UP QUICKLY.
02:35:21:00	02:35:22:00	I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS AGO
02:35:22:00	02:35:25:00	I WORKED WITH THE SHERIFF'S
02:35:25:00	02:35:25:00	DEPARTMENT.
02:35:25:00	02:35:26:00	IT'S A PROGRAM CALLED FAMILY
02:35:26:00	02:35:29:00	MATTERS AND THE WORK THAT WE
02:35:29:00	02:35:32:00	DID WAS AS WE WERE CONNECTING
02:35:32:00	02:35:33:00	OUR RETURNING OUR LOVED ONES
02:35:33:00	02:35:34:00	WHO ARE BEHIND THE WALLS WITH
02:35:34:00	02:35:36:00	THEIR CHILDREN AND TRYING TO
02:35:36:00	02:35:37:00	CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
02:35:37:00	02:35:41:00	YOUNG PEOPLE TO STILL BE
02:35:41:00	02:35:41:00	CONNECTED TO THEIR PARENTS
02:35:41:00	02:35:42:00	BECAUSE WE SAW THAT AS A
02:35:42:00	02:35:44:00	DISCONNECT.
02:35:44:00	02:35:45:00	AND SO I'M CURIOUS, YOU KNOW,
02:35:45:00	02:35:46:00	THEY'RE RETURNING BUT WHAT ARE
02:35:46:00	02:35:48:00	WE DOING IN PREPARATION WHEN
02:35:48:00	02:35:49:00	OUR RETURNING CITIZENS ARE
02:35:49:00	02:35:51:00	COMING HOME?
02:35:51:00	02:35:52:00	ARE THERE ANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR
02:35:52:00	02:35:55:00	CONNECTING FAMILIES TOGETHER?
02:35:55:00	02:36:00:00	THERE'S THIS INTENTION TO WORK
02:36:00:00	02:36:01:00	CLOSELY WITH RETURNING CITIZENS
02:36:01:00	02:36:03:00	PRIOR TO THEIR ARRIVAL BACK
02:36:03:00	02:36:04:00	HOME.
02:36:04:00	02:36:05:00	IT'S ALL ABOUT 90 DAYS OR SO TO
02:36:05:00	02:36:06:00	ESSENTIALLY BE ABLE TO WORK
02:36:06:00	02:36:07:00	WITH THEM IN TERMS OF WHAT
02:36:07:00	02:36:08:00	THEIR NEEDS ARE.
02:36:08:00	02:36:09:00	AND SO TO YOUR POINT OF BEING
02:36:09:00	02:36:11:00	ABLE TO RECONNECT WITH FAMILY
02:36:11:00	02:36:12:00	MEMBERS TO THE POINT THAT I
02:36:12:00	02:36:13:00	MADE EARLIER AROUND SOCIAL
02:36:13:00	02:36:15:00	ISOLATION IF THEY COMING HOME
02:36:15:00	02:36:16:00	ALONE, IF THEY DO HAVE FAMILIES
02:36:16:00	02:36:18:00	BUT I HAVE ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO
02:36:18:00	02:36:19:00	CONNECT WITH FAMILIES ETC. WITH
02:36:19:00	02:36:20:00	THE WORK TO BE DONE THERE LIKE
02:36:20:00	02:36:23:00	SOME MENTORING AROUND THAT
02:36:23:00	02:36:23:00	SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, MENTAL
02:36:23:00	02:36:26:00	HEALTH SUPPORT ETC. TO BE ABLE
02:36:26:00	02:36:27:00	TO FULLY WHEN THEY DO RETURN
02:36:27:00	02:36:27:00	HOME.
02:36:27:00	02:36:29:00	WHAT DOES THAT NOW LOOK LIKE?
02:36:29:00	02:36:30:00	THERE ARE SOME ORGANIZATIONS ON
02:36:30:00	02:36:31:00	THE GROUND LEVEL THAT ARE DOING
02:36:31:00	02:36:32:00	THIS WORK INTENTIONALLY.
02:36:32:00	02:36:33:00	THEY'RE REALLY INTENSELY
02:36:33:00	02:36:34:00	FOCUSED ON CONNECTING FAMILIES
02:36:34:00	02:36:37:00	AND LOVED ONES SO THOSE THAT
02:36:37:00	02:36:38:00	ARE BEHIND THE WALL AND THEN
02:36:38:00	02:36:39:00	ONCE THEY CAN RETURN HOME, YOU
02:36:39:00	02:36:40:00	KNOW, WHAT IS THAT CONNECTION
02:36:40:00	02:36:42:00	NOW LOOK LIKE AS WELL?
02:36:42:00	02:36:43:00	THE OFFICE ITSELF IS NOT
02:36:43:00	02:36:43:00	LEADING THOSE EFFORTS.
02:36:43:00	02:36:46:00	WE ARE DEFINITELY IN SUPPORT
02:36:46:00	02:36:46:00	OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT
02:36:46:00	02:36:49:00	HAVE BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT, YOU
02:36:49:00	02:36:50:00	KNOW, FROM DAY ZERO TO BE ABLE

02:36:54:00	02:36:55:00	YEAH, I LOVE THAT BECAUSE I
02:36:55:00	02:36:57:00	THINK THAT JUST THE SAFETY NET
02:36:57:00	02:37:00:00	IS REALLY KEY AND THEN THE LAST
02:37:00:00	02:37:01:00	THING OUR OFFICE A YEAR OR TWO
02:37:01:00	02:37:04:00	AGO STARTED WORKING WITH

02:37:05:00	02:37:08:00	CREATE SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR
02:37:08:00	02:37:09:00	TO THE NONPROFIT CAPACITY
02:37:09:00	02:37:12:00	BUILDING INSTITUTE FRANK THAT

02:37:24:00	02:37:25:00	CONNECT YOU TO SOME OF THOSE
02:37:25:00	02:37:26:00	FOLKS WHO ARE DOING THE WORK
02:37:26:00	02:37:27:00	I'D BE MORE HAPPY MORE THAN
02:37:27:00	02:37:28:00	HAPPY TO TO BUILD THAT BRIDGE
02:37:28:00	02:37:28:00	BECAUSE I BELIEVE LIKE

02:37:32:00	02:37:33:00	DIRECTION WE'RE ALL GOING TO

02:37:34:00	02:37:35:00	BE SO HAPPY TO TO MAKE THAT
02:37:35:00	02:37:36:00	CONNECTION.

02:37:48:00	02:37:51:00	OF THEATRICS HERE IN THIS
02:37:51:00	02:37:52:00	CHAMBER WHEN IT COMES TO REALLY
02:37:52:00	02:37:55:00	GETTING INTO THE WEEDS OF THIS
02:37:55:00	02:37:55:00	WORK.
02:37:55:00	02:37:56:00	AND I THINK THAT WE CAN DO A
02:37:56:00	02:37:58:00	BETTER JOB AT SHOWING UP FOR
02:37:58:00	02:37:59:00	OUR PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY THEY
02:37:59:00	02:38:02:00	ARE COUNTING ON US TO DO THINGS
02:38:02:00	02:38:03:00	DIFFERENTLY AND THIS IS THE
02:38:03:00	02:38:06:00	FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE THE
02:38:06:00	02:38:07:00	MOST DIVERSE CABINET, THE MOST

02:38:10:00	02:38:11:00	WE HAVE A PROGRESSIVE MAYOR
02:38:11:00	02:38:14:00	THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T
02:38:14:00	02:38:16:00	GET THIS TOGETHER AND IF WE CAN
02:38:16:00	02:38:18:00	WORK COLLABORATIVELY ACROSS ALL
02:38:18:00	02:38:19:00	OF OUR DIFFERENCES AND OUR
02:38:19:00	02:38:29:00	DEPARTMENTS, WE CAN MOVE OUR
02:38:29:00	02:38:29:00	PEOPLE FORWARD.
02:38:29:00	02:38:30:00	BUT I THINK THAT ONLY IF AND
02:38:30:00	02:38:31:00	WHEN WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT WORK
02:38:31:00	02:38:32:00	TOGETHER IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO

02:39:32:00	02:39:34:00	IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BLACK
02:39:34:00	02:39:34:00	MALE ADVANCEMENT, JUST THINKING
02:39:34:00	02:39:35:00	ABOUT IDEAS ABOUT COLLABORATION
02:39:35:00	02:39:38:00	WITH ALL OF OUR RESOURCES AND
02:39:38:00	02:39:38:00	OUR DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY.
02:39:38:00	02:39:42:00	YEAH I LOVE THOSE IDEAS AND
02:39:42:00	02:39:43:00	WE'RE ALSO THE TEAM AND I WE
02:39:43:00	02:39:45:00	ARE TRYING TO MAP OUT WHAT
02:39:45:00	02:39:46:00	AMPLIFY GSA IS GOING TO LOOK
02:39:46:00	02:39:49:00	LIKE AFTER THE SUMMIT BECAUSE
02:39:49:00	02:39:50:00	WE WANT THIS TO BE 365.
02:39:50:00	02:39:51:00	WE DON'T WANT PARENTS TO GET
02:39:51:00	02:39:53:00	ALL THIS RESOURCE AND THEN
02:39:53:00	02:39:54:00	WE'RE LIKE PEACE OUT.
02:39:54:00	02:39:57:00	SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA
02:39:57:00	02:39:58:00	TO INCORPORATE WITH AMPLIFIED
02:39:58:00	02:40:01:00	GSA THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR
02:40:01:00	02:40:05:00	STORYTIME ALSO PROMS AND THAT'S
02:40:05:00	02:40:06:00	SOMETHING THAT WE FOCUSED ON IN
02:40:06:00	02:40:09:00	THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN THE EARLY
02:40:09:00	02:40:10:00	MIDDLE SCHOOL TRYING TO BRING
02:40:10:00	02:40:12:00	BACK I THINK CALCITRIOL BROUGHT
02:40:12:00	02:40:13:00	THAT UP EARLIER.
02:40:13:00	02:40:16:00	WE'RE TRYING TO BRING BACK 
02:40:16:00	02:40:18:00	PROMS BECAUSE THOSE ARE SAFE IN
02:40:18:00	02:40:20:00	BRAVE SPACES AS WELL.
02:40:20:00	02:40:23:00	THAT WORKED TWENTY YEARS AGO.
02:40:23:00	02:40:24:00	LET'S SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
02:40:24:00	02:40:25:00	IN 2023 2024 WITH MORE
02:40:25:00	02:40:28:00	RESOURCES AND A DIFFERENT FEEL
02:40:28:00	02:40:32:00	FOR  FOLKS IN THIS DAY AND AGE.
02:40:32:00	02:40:36:00	BUT YES, I THINK STORY TIMES
02:40:36:00	02:40:37:00	ARE GREAT BUT WE ALSO NEED SOME
02:40:37:00	02:40:40:00	ADULT STORY TIMES AS WELL.
02:40:40:00	02:40:41:00	THAT'S TRUE.
02:40:41:00	02:40:45:00	WE DON'T NEED TO BE ENLIGHTENED
02:40:45:00	02:40:47:00	WITH WHAT GOES ON IN THE 
02:40:47:00	02:40:47:00	COMMUNITY AS WELL.
02:40:47:00	02:40:50:00	SO GREAT POINT.

02:41:02:00	02:41:03:00	DOCTOR IF I WAS OUT OF MY WAY
02:41:03:00	02:41:06:00	OK BUT SOMETHING I MEAN AND I
02:41:06:00	02:41:07:00	KNOW WE'VE BEEN MEANING TO SIT
02:41:07:00	02:41:09:00	DOWN THAT'S MY BAD BUT THE
02:41:09:00	02:41:13:00	TRADES AND I THINK MICROFLORA
02:41:13:00	02:41:13:00	ALLUDED TO KANSAS ALREADY
02:41:13:00	02:41:14:00	ALLUDED TO THIS LIKE THERE ARE
02:41:14:00	02:41:17:00	SO MANY JOBS AVAILABLE WHILE WE
02:41:17:00	02:41:18:00	ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:41:18:00	02:41:18:00	THESE JOBS ARE ALSO WELCOMING
02:41:18:00	02:41:19:00	AND THAT OUR PEOPLE FEEL LIKE
02:41:19:00	02:41:21:00	THEY CAN SUCCEED AND THRIVE
02:41:21:00	02:41:21:00	THERE.
02:41:21:00	02:41:22:00	SO I HAD THIS GREAT
02:41:22:00	02:41:23:00	CONVERSATION WITH SOME FOLKS IN
02:41:23:00	02:41:25:00	THE BUILDING TRADES THAT OUR
02:41:25:00	02:41:26:00	MANAGEMENT AND A LOT OF OUR
02:41:26:00	02:41:27:00	BUILDING TRADES ARE SLOWLY
02:41:27:00	02:41:28:00	BECOMING MORE DIVERSE LOOKING
02:41:28:00	02:41:29:00	LIKE OUR COMMUNITIES AND
02:41:29:00	02:41:29:00	THERE'S SOME BLACK FOLKS IN
02:41:29:00	02:41:32:00	LEADERSHIP THAT REALLY DO WANT
02:41:32:00	02:41:33:00	TO DO THE WORK OF HOW DO WE
02:41:33:00	02:41:36:00	HELP OUR MEMBERSHIP IN OUR
02:41:36:00	02:41:37:00	UNIONS FEEL LIKE THEY CAN RUN
02:41:37:00	02:41:40:00	FOR LEADERSHIP POSITIONS RUN
02:41:40:00	02:41:41:00	FOR AND I THINK THAT THERE'S AN
02:41:41:00	02:41:41:00	INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY WITH
02:41:41:00	02:41:44:00	YOUR OFFICE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW
02:41:44:00	02:41:45:00	WE GET OUR FOLKS TO FEEL
02:41:45:00	02:41:45:00	COMFORTABLE IN THESE JOBS THAT
02:41:45:00	02:41:47:00	THEY SEE MORE OF US IN
02:41:47:00	02:41:47:00	LEADERSHIP POSITIONS.
02:41:47:00	02:41:48:00	IS IT FULLY TRUE?
02:41:48:00	02:41:51:00	BUT I OFTEN SAY THAT IT'S
02:41:51:00	02:41:52:00	REALLY HARD FOR US.
02:41:52:00	02:41:53:00	YOU CAN'T BE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE
02:41:53:00	02:41:55:00	AND IF OUR FOLKS CAN'T SEE
02:41:55:00	02:41:56:00	THEMSELVES REFLECTED THESE
02:41:56:00	02:41:56:00	LEADERSHIP POSITIONS THEN
02:41:56:00	02:41:58:00	THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.
02:41:58:00	02:41:59:00	OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE HAS TO
02:41:59:00	02:42:00:00	BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN BE THEY
02:42:00:00	02:42:01:00	CAN'T SEE OR YOU NEVER HAVE A
02:42:01:00	02:42:02:00	FIRST.
02:42:02:00	02:42:02:00	RIGHT.
02:42:02:00	02:42:04:00	BUT IT'S REALLY HARD AND SO I
02:42:04:00	02:42:04:00	JUST THINK THAT THERE'S AN
02:42:04:00	02:42:07:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR OFFICE TO
02:42:07:00	02:42:08:00	BE DOING WORK WITH OUR BROTHERS
02:42:08:00	02:42:10:00	AND SISTERS LEADING OUR
02:42:10:00	02:42:11:00	SIBLINGS IN THE BUILDING
02:42:11:00	02:42:14:00	TRADES, REALLY LEADING THE WORK
02:42:14:00	02:42:15:00	ON MAKING SURE OUR TRADES LOOK
02:42:15:00	02:42:18:00	LIKE OUR COMMUNITIES.
02:42:18:00	02:42:19:00	THESE ARE GOOD FAMILY
02:42:19:00	02:42:20:00	SUSTAINING JOBS THAT COME WITH
02:42:20:00	02:42:22:00	HEALTH CARE, DIGNITY AND WORK
02:42:22:00	02:42:23:00	AND DIGNITY IN RETIREMENT.
02:42:23:00	02:42:24:00	AND I THINK THERE'S AN
02:42:24:00	02:42:26:00	OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH A LOT
02:42:26:00	02:42:27:00	OF THESE MEMBERS WERE IN UNIONS
02:42:27:00	02:42:30:00	AND MAYBE NOT FOR WHATEVER IS
02:42:30:00	02:42:31:00	NOT STEPPING UP FOR LEADERSHIP
02:42:31:00	02:42:32:00	ROLES AND I THINK THAT THAT
02:42:32:00	02:42:33:00	COULD BE A GOOD ENTRY POINT FOR
02:42:33:00	02:42:34:00	YOU ALL TO BE DOING WORK
02:42:34:00	02:42:35:00	TOGETHER.
02:42:35:00	02:42:38:00	SO THANK YOU AND THEN FOR CHIEF
02:42:38:00	02:42:39:00	SO I SORT OF FEEL BAD ASKING
02:42:39:00	02:42:41:00	YOU THESE QUESTIONS THAT I KNOW
02:42:41:00	02:42:42:00	THAT IT WAS DIRECTOR ME I WAS
02:42:42:00	02:42:43:00	SUPPOSED TO BE HERE BUT YOU
02:42:43:00	02:42:45:00	KNOW, WE WORKED REALLY HARD ON
02:42:45:00	02:42:46:00	A RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAM THAT
02:42:46:00	02:42:47:00	WE FOUGHT FOR IN LAST YEAR'S
02:42:47:00	02:42:49:00	BUDGET AND WANTED TO KNOW IF
02:42:49:00	02:42:50:00	YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF UPDATES ON
02:42:50:00	02:42:51:00	SORT OF WHERE THAT RAPID
02:42:51:00	02:42:53:00	REHOUSING PROGRAM STANDS AND
02:42:53:00	02:42:53:00	HOW THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN.
02:42:53:00	02:42:56:00	IS RFP OPEN?
02:42:56:00	02:42:57:00	I KNOW THAT THERE MAY BE A
02:42:57:00	02:42:58:00	MEETING ON MY CALENDAR TO
02:42:58:00	02:43:00:00	DISCUSS THIS FURTHER BUT IF YOU
02:43:00:00	02:43:01:00	HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT, I
02:43:01:00	02:43:02:00	WANT TO ASK THAT AND ANOTHER
02:43:02:00	02:43:03:00	QUESTION SOMETHING ELSE THAT
02:43:03:00	02:43:04:00	WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS THE
02:43:04:00	02:43:07:00	ANTI-GAY AMENDMENT WHICH REALLY
02:43:07:00	02:43:08:00	HINDERS OUR ABILITY TO GIVE
02:43:08:00	02:43:09:00	DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO OUR PEOPLE
02:43:09:00	02:43:11:00	AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CITY
02:43:11:00	02:43:12:00	DEPARTMENTS WHERE A LOT OF THE
02:43:12:00	02:43:16:00	AID THAT OUR PEOPLE NEED IS
02:43:16:00	02:43:16:00	REALLY MATERIAL LIKE HOW DO YOU
02:43:16:00	02:43:19:00	GIVE THEM ASSISTANCE AND SO HOW
02:43:19:00	02:43:20:00	ARE WE WORKING WITHIN THE
02:43:20:00	02:43:21:00	PARAMETERS OF THE LAW AND
02:43:21:00	02:43:23:00	WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF WHAT
02:43:23:00	02:43:24:00	INTIMATE AMENDMENTS AS WE CAN
02:43:24:00	02:43:25:00	AND CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:43:25:00	02:43:28:00	WE'RE GETTING USERS IN THE
02:43:28:00	02:43:29:00	HANDS OF THOSE WHO NEED IT THE
02:43:29:00	02:43:29:00	MOST?
02:43:29:00	02:43:29:00	SURE.
02:43:29:00	02:43:31:00	I MEAN SO WE EXPERIENCED THAT I
02:43:31:00	02:43:31:00	MEAN TO YOUR QUESTION EARLIER
02:43:31:00	02:43:32:00	IN REGARDS TO THE LESSONS
02:43:32:00	02:43:33:00	LEARNED ABOUT THE SCREENING
02:43:33:00	02:43:35:00	PROCESS, WHAT IS IT WE CAN AND
02:43:35:00	02:43:36:00	CAN'T DO?
02:43:36:00	02:43:37:00	AND SO I THINK THERE WERE SOME
02:43:37:00	02:43:38:00	LIMITATIONS WITH THE CITY
02:43:38:00	02:43:39:00	OPERATING BUDGET OF WHAT IS
02:43:39:00	02:43:43:00	AVAILABLE TO GRANT OUT FOR AND
02:43:43:00	02:43:44:00	THAT WAS AN EDUCATIONAL MOMENT
02:43:44:00	02:43:44:00	ON BOTH ENDS.
02:43:44:00	02:43:44:00	RIGHT.
02:43:44:00	02:43:47:00	SO BOTH FOR THE OFFICE AND FOR
02:43:47:00	02:43:47:00	THE GRANTEES AND SO REALLY
02:43:47:00	02:43:50:00	BEING ABLE TO FOCUS IN ON THE
02:43:50:00	02:43:50:00	PROGRAMING OPPORTUNITIES OR
02:43:50:00	02:43:51:00	RESOURCES THAT THEY WERE
02:43:51:00	02:43:53:00	PROVIDING TO RETURNING CITIZENS
02:43:53:00	02:43:54:00	AND HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO
02:43:54:00	02:43:55:00	AMPLIFY THAT WHILE BEING ABLE
02:43:55:00	02:43:58:00	TO BE SUPPORTIVE
02:43:58:00	02:43:59:00	OF ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEY ARE
02:43:59:00	02:43:59:00	ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK AS
02:43:59:00	02:43:59:00	WELL.
02:43:59:00	02:44:00:00	RIGHT.
02:44:00:00	02:44:02:00	AND SO AS WAS YOU KNOW, BEEN
02:44:02:00	02:44:03:00	THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED HERE AND
02:44:03:00	02:44:06:00	FROM EVERYBODY'S EXPERIENCE
02:44:06:00	02:44:06:00	OF THESE SMALLER ORGANIZATIONS
02:44:06:00	02:44:10:00	THAT MORE THAN LIKELY THE EDES
02:44:10:00	02:44:11:00	ALSO THE ONE THAT'S RUNNING
02:44:11:00	02:44:13:00	PROGRAMING OR ANYTHING ELSE
02:44:13:00	02:44:14:00	LIKE THAT.
02:44:14:00	02:44:14:00	RIGHT.
02:44:14:00	02:44:15:00	SO HOW IS THAT WE SUPPORTED
02:44:15:00	02:44:15:00	THIS?
02:44:15:00	02:44:17:00	I THINK MOVING FORWARD TRYING
02:44:17:00	02:44:18:00	TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS THAT
02:44:18:00	02:44:19:00	WE CAN DO TO BE FULLY
02:44:19:00	02:44:21:00	SUPPORTIVE WITH ACKNOWLEDGING
02:44:21:00	02:44:22:00	THE LIMITATIONS THAT WE HAVE
02:44:22:00	02:44:22:00	WITH DEALING WITH OUR TAXPAYER
02:44:22:00	02:44:23:00	DOLLARS.
02:44:23:00	02:44:23:00	RIGHT.
02:44:23:00	02:44:25:00	AND SO JUST REALLY WANT TO BE
02:44:25:00	02:44:26:00	JUST, YOU KNOW, TRANSPARENT
02:44:26:00	02:44:28:00	ABOUT THAT.
02:44:28:00	02:44:29:00	SO THE OTHER PIECE THE RAPID
02:44:29:00	02:44:30:00	REHOUSING I DON'T BELIEVE IN IN
02:44:30:00	02:44:32:00	SPACE AND AARP IS GOING OUT AT
02:44:32:00	02:44:36:00	THE MOMENT THE CONNECTION AND
02:44:36:00	02:44:37:00	THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE
02:44:37:00	02:44:39:00	MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING HAS
02:44:39:00	02:44:40:00	TAKEN PLACE HAS BEEN
02:44:40:00	02:44:40:00	ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THAT ONE
02:44:40:00	02:44:43:00	POINT ONE MILLION I BELIEVE
02:44:43:00	02:44:44:00	THAT'S WHAT IT IS FROM ABOVE
02:44:44:00	02:44:45:00	THAT WOULD SIT YOU KNOW, THE
02:44:45:00	02:44:48:00	PROGRAM WILL ACTUALLY LIVE BY
02:44:48:00	02:44:48:00	THE WAY.
02:44:48:00	02:44:49:00	THAT MAKES SENSE.
02:44:49:00	02:44:49:00	YEAH.
02:44:49:00	02:44:51:00	OK, GREAT ENDORSEES MILWAUKEE.
02:44:51:00	02:44:52:00	OH THE ONE WHO WAS GOING TO
02:44:52:00	02:44:53:00	LIVE WITH LRC I MEAN FOR THE
02:44:53:00	02:44:55:00	FOR THE PROGRAM OK.
02:44:55:00	02:44:56:00	OH THE PROGRAM I MEAN THAT
02:44:56:00	02:44:59:00	MAKES SENSE AND THEN YEAH SO
02:44:59:00	02:45:00:00	BACK TO A. THE REASON WHY IT'S
02:45:00:00	02:45:01:00	IMPORTANT RIGHT LEG AND YOU SEE
02:45:01:00	02:45:02:00	THIS IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO
02:45:02:00	02:45:03:00	BUILD THE RELATION WITH DOD
02:45:03:00	02:45:04:00	DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS SO
02:45:04:00	02:45:06:00	THAT FOLKS BEFORE THEY GET THE
02:45:06:00	02:45:07:00	BIGGEST BARRIERS THEY HAVE IS
02:45:07:00	02:45:08:00	ACCESS TO BASIC THINGS LIKE IDS
02:45:08:00	02:45:10:00	AND ARMIES AND WE HELP THE ONE
02:45:10:00	02:45:11:00	OFF EFFORT.
02:45:11:00	02:45:13:00	BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
02:45:13:00	02:45:14:00	EITHER WE WORK ON POLICY TO
02:45:14:00	02:45:17:00	HELP WITH THOSE FEES AND WE
02:45:17:00	02:45:18:00	REALLY WE DID WORK REALLY EARLY
02:45:18:00	02:45:21:00	ON AND WE'RE FIGHTING FOR THIS
02:45:21:00	02:45:22:00	BUDGET ON HOW DO WE LIKE
02:45:22:00	02:45:23:00	STREAMLINE AND MAKE EASY THAT
02:45:23:00	02:45:25:00	PROCESS OF FOLKS COMING HOME
02:45:25:00	02:45:26:00	GETTING IDS WHICH IS LIKE YOU
02:45:26:00	02:45:29:00	NEED AN IDEA FOR JUST
02:45:29:00	02:45:29:00	EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR VOTING
02:45:29:00	02:45:32:00	WHERE YOU DON'T NEED AN ID, YOU
02:45:32:00	02:45:33:00	SHOULDN'T NEED AN I.D. BUT YOU
02:45:33:00	02:45:34:00	NEED IT FOR LIKE TO GET A JOB
02:45:34:00	02:45:37:00	AND TO TO GET ACCESS TO HOUSING
02:45:37:00	02:45:37:00	AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
02:45:37:00	02:45:41:00	AND SO IF YOU CAN SORT
02:45:41:00	02:45:41:00	OF CONVENE AND THINK ABOUT
02:45:41:00	02:45:43:00	THAT, IF IT'S LIKE HOW DO WE
02:45:43:00	02:45:45:00	GET FIFTY DOLLARS OR DO WE WORK
02:45:45:00	02:45:46:00	WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO WAIVE
02:45:46:00	02:45:46:00	THESE FEES?
02:45:46:00	02:45:48:00	MARVIS TO MANY GERMANS HAD TO
02:45:48:00	02:45:49:00	LIKE CALL THE RMV ON AN
02:45:49:00	02:45:49:00	EMERGENCY BASIS.
02:45:49:00	02:45:51:00	SOMEONE'S COMING HOME BUT FOR
02:45:51:00	02:45:52:00	SOME REASON FOR THEIR OWN
02:45:52:00	02:45:53:00	SAFETY AND PROTECTION THEY
02:45:53:00	02:45:53:00	CAN'T STAY IN THEIR
02:45:53:00	02:45:55:00	NEIGHBORHOOD.
02:45:55:00	02:45:56:00	THEY NEED AN ID TO GO ACROSS
02:45:56:00	02:45:57:00	STATE AND SO IT JUST BE A LOT
02:45:57:00	02:46:00:00	EASIER FOR OFFICERS ABLE TO
02:46:00:00	02:46:00:00	HELP PEOPLE DIRECTLY AND EVEN

02:46:01:00	02:46:03:00	DIRECTLY OR COMING FROM
02:46:03:00	02:46:04:00	INCARCERATION, IF WE WORK WITH
02:46:04:00	02:46:05:00	THE RMV TO REALLY DEVELOP
02:46:05:00	02:46:08:00	POLICY OR EVEN WORK WITH THE
02:46:08:00	02:46:11:00	FOLKS DOWNSTAIRS TO TO THINK
02:46:11:00	02:46:14:00	ABOUT HOW WE GET FOLKS ACCESS
02:46:14:00	02:46:15:00	LIKE VITAL DOCUMENTS LIKE BIRTH

02:47:28:00	02:47:31:00	NOW HAS THE DEPARTMENT HAD
02:47:31:00	02:47:32:00	SUCCESS IN BUILDING EQUITY
02:47:32:00	02:47:34:00	INNOVATIVE STRUCTURES THAT HELP

02:47:53:00	02:47:57:00	ANY GAP OF UPDATING STUFF, IF
02:47:57:00	02:47:58:00	WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN DO
02:47:58:00	02:48:01:00	THAT A LITTLE BIT FASTER, I
02:48:01:00	02:48:02:00	KNOW THAT THERE IS A LACK
02:48:02:00	02:48:03:00	OF CAPACITY WITH DUE.
02:48:03:00	02:48:05:00	IT IS WELL BECAUSE I'M THINKING
02:48:05:00	02:48:09:00	ABOUT INCREASING LIKE A
02:48:09:00	02:48:10:00	CAPACITY WITH THEM BECAUSE I
02:48:10:00	02:48:12:00	FILED AN ORDINANCE TO MAKE IT
02:48:12:00	02:48:13:00	LAW SO THAT COUNCILORS HAVE TO

02:48:25:00	02:48:27:00	PUBLICIZE THAT ON OUR WEB PAGES
02:48:27:00	02:48:31:00	IT GETS A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC.
02:48:31:00	02:48:32:00	I MEAN A LOT OF TRAFFIC NOW FOR
02:48:32:00	02:48:35:00	TRAFFIC BUT VIEWERS AND IT'S
02:48:35:00	02:48:36:00	NOT IT'S UNDERUTILIZED.
02:48:36:00	02:48:38:00	IT ONLY SAYS AH, BYE BYE BIO
02:48:38:00	02:48:39:00	AND NOTHING ELSE.
02:48:39:00	02:48:43:00	SO ANYWAY DO IT NEEDS ANOTHER
02:48:43:00	02:48:43:00	PERSON.
02:48:43:00	02:48:44:00	SO IF THERE'S AN ISSUE THERE

02:48:57:00	02:48:58:00	MEN AND BOYS IN BOSTON
02:48:58:00	02:48:58:00	PROGRESSING?
02:48:58:00	02:49:01:00	AND IF YOU SEE PROGRESS OR
02:49:01:00	02:49:02:00	DECLINE WHATEVER IT IS BUT YOU
02:49:02:00	02:49:06:00	KNOW THIS ONE YOU'VE AS FAR AS

02:49:29:00	02:49:32:00	NINETY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
02:49:32:00	02:49:34:00	AND SO THE UPDATE THERE AND IF
02:49:34:00	02:49:36:00	YOU'RE INCREASING CAPACITY
02:49:36:00	02:49:37:00	YOU'VE EXPLAINED SOME OF THAT.
02:49:37:00	02:49:40:00	BUT IF THERE'S ANY WAY THAT WE
02:49:40:00	02:49:41:00	CAN TALK ABOUT HOW TO INCREASE
02:49:41:00	02:49:45:00	CAPACITY, HOW DOES THE
02:49:45:00	02:49:48:00	DEPARTMENT PLAN WITH FUNDING?
02:49:48:00	02:49:49:00	YOU ALREADY SAID THAT AND THEN
02:49:49:00	02:49:52:00	FOR I'LL STOP HERE I DO HAVE
02:49:52:00	02:49:53:00	SOME MORE QUESTIONS AGAIN, I'LL
02:49:53:00	02:49:54:00	SUBMIT THE REST IN WRITING AND
02:49:54:00	02:49:56:00	AS FAR AS THE OFFICE
02:49:56:00	02:49:57:00	OF RETURNING CITIZENS, IF I CAN
02:49:57:00	02:50:00:00	GET IN TERMS OF THE INDIVIDUAL
02:50:00:00	02:50:03:00	INTAKE FORMS FROM START TO
02:50:03:00	02:50:07:00	FINISH, WHAT IS THE PROCESS
02:50:07:00	02:50:08:00	FROM THE MINUTE SOMEONE EITHER
02:50:08:00	02:50:11:00	CALLS OR WALKS IN OR WHATEVER
02:50:11:00	02:50:12:00	TO BEING CONNECTED TO RESOURCES
02:50:12:00	02:50:16:00	THE ACTUAL SCOPE OF WORK THERE
02:50:16:00	02:50:20:00	THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE ON THE
02:50:20:00	02:50:20:00	TEAM.
02:50:20:00	02:50:21:00	CAN YOU AND THEN CAN YOU PLEASE
02:50:21:00	02:50:23:00	EXPLAIN IN WRITING THE OFFSET
02:50:23:00	02:50:24:00	BY THE THIRD PARTY
02:50:24:00	02:50:24:00	COLLABORATION SUCH AS BOSTON
02:50:24:00	02:50:28:00	LEGAL SERVICES WHICH PROVIDE
02:50:28:00	02:50:28:00	COREY SERVICES?
02:50:28:00	02:50:32:00	OBVIOUSLY I BELIEVE THAT THIS
02:50:32:00	02:50:33:00	IS THE ONE OF THE MOST
02:50:33:00	02:50:35:00	DISINVESTED OFFICES AND I'M
02:50:35:00	02:50:36:00	TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY
02:50:36:00	02:50:39:00	THE SERVICES RENDERED AND AND
02:50:39:00	02:50:40:00	IN COLLABORATION WITH CITY
02:50:40:00	02:50:43:00	RESOURCES OR OUTSIDE RESOURCES.
02:50:43:00	02:50:47:00	ANY COLLABORATIONS IF IF
02:50:47:00	02:50:47:00	INCREASING CAPACITY MAKES SENSE
02:50:47:00	02:50:50:00	OR NOT AND THEN TO WHAT EXTENT
02:50:50:00	02:50:51:00	IS THE COORDINATED RESPONSE
02:50:51:00	02:50:55:00	TEAMS SUPPORTED BY THE OFFICE
02:50:55:00	02:50:56:00	OF RETURNING CITIZENS WHERE DO
02:50:56:00	02:50:58:00	THEY RECEIVE THEIR FUNDING FROM
02:50:58:00	02:51:02:00	AND THEN WHAT WAS THE REASONING
02:51:02:00	02:51:03:00	BEHIND SEPARATING THE OFFICE
02:51:03:00	02:51:06:00	OF RETURNING CITIZENS AND
02:51:06:00	02:51:07:00	OFFICE OF COMMUNITY SAFETY
02:51:07:00	02:51:10:00	PROGRAM AND I KNOW THAT THERE
02:51:10:00	02:51:11:00	WAS I'VE HEARD SOME
02:51:11:00	02:51:14:00	CONVERSATION OR IN PRESS
02:51:14:00	02:51:15:00	CONFERENCES I'VE HEARD SOME
02:51:15:00	02:51:18:00	CONVERSATION BUT SPECIFICALLY
02:51:18:00	02:51:19:00	IF THERE IS A PLAN IN PLACE
02:51:19:00	02:51:21:00	COMING AND I KNOW YOU GUYS
02:51:21:00	02:51:22:00	WORKING ON SOMETHING I'D LIKE
02:51:22:00	02:51:25:00	TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
02:51:25:00	02:51:29:00	THAT AS FAR AS THE OFFICE
02:51:29:00	02:51:33:00	OF LGBTQ COMMUNITY, WHERE ARE
02:51:33:00	02:51:36:00	THE AMPLIFY GSA INITIATIVES
02:51:36:00	02:51:37:00	INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET?
02:51:37:00	02:51:40:00	IF SO, THAT'S A PART OF THE
02:51:40:00	02:51:41:00	INCREASE FROM LAST WE THAT'S
02:51:41:00	02:51:44:00	WHY WE ONLY THE EXACT NUMBER
02:51:44:00	02:51:45:00	FOR BEYOND PRIV MINI GRANT IS
02:51:45:00	02:51:48:00	ONE 57 ISH.
02:51:48:00	02:51:49:00	I'M LOOKING AT MY CHIEF
02:51:49:00	02:51:49:00	OF STAFF.
02:51:49:00	02:51:53:00	I 150 I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
02:51:53:00	02:51:54:00	UP AND THEN IT WAS AN
02:51:54:00	02:51:56:00	ADDITIONAL FIFTY I THINK THE
02:51:56:00	02:51:57:00	FIFTY WAS ALREADY THERE SO I
02:51:57:00	02:52:00:00	TOOK THAT TO DO AMPLIFY GSA AND
02:52:00:00	02:52:04:00	ALSO SOME OTHER PROGRAMING I
02:52:04:00	02:52:05:00	TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
02:52:05:00	02:52:06:00	BRIEFLY WE DID A DOCUMENTARY
02:52:06:00	02:52:08:00	FOR  ELDERS OF COLOR SO WE USE
02:52:08:00	02:52:12:00	THE MONEY FOR THAT AS WELL
02:52:12:00	02:52:15:00	BECAUSE OK, YEAH GREAT.
02:52:15:00	02:52:16:00	I THINK ONE OF THE ISSUES IS
02:52:16:00	02:52:19:00	THAT LIKE YOU'LL SAY, ALL THAT
02:52:19:00	02:52:19:00	MONEY BELONGS IN HOUSING OR
02:52:19:00	02:52:22:00	THAT MONEY BELONGS TO PUBLIC
02:52:22:00	02:52:23:00	HEALTH.
02:52:23:00	02:52:24:00	BUT THEN WE DID IT ALL YOU DID
02:52:24:00	02:52:26:00	IT ALL IN.
02:52:26:00	02:52:27:00	SO EXACTLY.
02:52:27:00	02:52:28:00	MY POINT IS THAT WHEN WE MOVE
02:52:28:00	02:52:31:00	MONEY TO SPECIFIC WELL FOR
02:52:31:00	02:52:31:00	EXAMPLE BLACK MEN IN
02:52:31:00	02:52:35:00	ADVANCEMENT WE KNOW THAT THERE
02:52:35:00	02:52:38:00	NEEDS TO BE AN OFFICE THAT
02:52:38:00	02:52:38:00	PRIORITIZES BLACK MALES.
02:52:38:00	02:52:38:00	RIGHT.
02:52:38:00	02:52:42:00	AND SO FOR THAT PURPOSE THE
02:52:42:00	02:52:42:00	ARGUMENT OF OH THAT SHOULD BE
02:52:42:00	02:52:46:00	LONG AND HOUSING IS MOOT.
02:52:46:00	02:52:48:00	NO, BECAUSE THERE IS AN EQUITY
02:52:48:00	02:52:50:00	ISSUE OR AN EQUITY INEQUITY
02:52:50:00	02:52:51:00	ISSUE ISSUE HERE AND
02:52:51:00	02:52:54:00	HISTORICALLY PEOPLE HAVE NOT
02:52:54:00	02:52:54:00	PRIORITIZED THIS ISSUE AND
02:52:54:00	02:52:55:00	THAT'S WHY THERE'S AN OFFICE
02:52:55:00	02:52:58:00	OF LGBT RIGHT.
02:52:58:00	02:52:58:00	PLUS ADVANCEMENT.
02:52:58:00	02:53:01:00	SO WHEN WE ARE MAKING THOSE
02:53:01:00	02:53:02:00	THOSE SORT OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH
02:53:02:00	02:53:03:00	THE ADMINISTRATION ABOUT MOVING
02:53:03:00	02:53:06:00	MONEY INTO CONTRACTS, I
02:53:06:00	02:53:07:00	UNDERSTAND THAT IN PERSONNEL
02:53:07:00	02:53:07:00	YOU'RE GOOD.
02:53:07:00	02:53:10:00	IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOOD.
02:53:10:00	02:53:11:00	BUT IN TERMS OF CONTRACTS I
02:53:11:00	02:53:13:00	THINK I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN
02:53:13:00	02:53:14:00	GETTING MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES
02:53:14:00	02:53:18:00	AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I'M
02:53:18:00	02:53:19:00	HERE AS HAS MENTIONED IT TO
02:53:19:00	02:53:21:00	INCREASING IN TERMS OF HOW DO
02:53:21:00	02:53:22:00	WE THOSE OFFICES PRIORITIZE
02:53:22:00	02:53:25:00	THAT POPULATION.
02:53:25:00	02:53:26:00	I THINK IT'S BY BECAUSE YOU
02:53:26:00	02:53:29:00	UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE YOU'RE
02:53:29:00	02:53:29:00	NOT GOING TO BE DIFFERENTIAL
02:53:29:00	02:53:33:00	AND SO THE REST OF MY QUESTIONS
02:53:33:00	02:53:33:00	WERE ANSWERED.
02:53:33:00	02:53:37:00	I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO
02:53:37:00	02:53:41:00	HEAR MISS MELISSA ENDA'S
