7:34 pm
to generation change a global series attempt to understand i'm totally and the idea is that mobilized around the world, the so it's sunday. i'm going ahead and try to come here in times, or which is where you're from my desk. and this is an informal customer, but it will say the country's largest dental site. what was it like for you growing up there? so one of the challenges the getting to get this done and he said he made my buddies and don't find those that time smart enough for us to pay rent and photos into vocation that's way too much of a certificate because she was engaging in terms of use of the trust and all that
7:35 pm
time. so in each of the end of the dining room that let's go for windows, laptop, $39.00. so how old are you and your mother passed away? i was 16. and what happened then? so i ended up doing that, don't say to make it simple, meaning it's a place where when comes and it wouldn't even doesn't have a place to go. was covered in genes, we'll collecting such so, so that they can and add up and get something. now you're right there, and that's the what was the transition like from, you know, being on the dumb fire and working that to be an artist and then what you do now. so when most of them say those us troops off leaving people are calling me. that's, that's the new companies that up for us. and they gave me some of that and april 4th. so i notified this digital unit that thing he was very popular. what's going on with the bundle and obviously getting the place. some people didn't need to find
7:36 pm
the stop on the set up, but we need to find that you need to find that. okay, so the team that would be found to be under the transition was such, i'd seen and it came up about a project for them that i took sitting on the tests or the 27th, or maybe they've done since that in getting of the know how much this is the how did working on it on site, but it says eyes whenever the website you feel like you are popular is doing a place where people don't appreciate to don't have a voice the nobody cares that much fully walk. so initially for me it was like, i mean i was the way, i'm fixing a lot of stuff sort of vices when, if i'm sick, nobody guess if i, if i have a good solid, nobody has this nobody to share. what would they have?
7:37 pm
those stuff. i mean, they're both very early in the mornings. you find them i just, there are. so i was seeing them as the as the reload the and make sure you will find the good to see it or he's because the new a country equals. so i wanted to talk to you via larry, you've done prior to something's about extrajudicial cleanings and the police know, getting people who live had lost 3 friends. our in our center done the site because of the security, so i'm kidding. they was beaten after the missed on a phone. that was so month it was, i was hungry, so that's way i, i, i started becoming moving it go back to social issues on the, not anything the one the one that day. but the one who were not out there to bump in there you, when and there's also an organization called the kenya,
7:38 pm
which you work in and you deal with these projects with young people. can you tell me that that what you do with them? okay, so of course the community based organization that works with the kids from the age of 5 to 17, to ensure that this, this is the c and then the don't. and that's a society's special devices. he's coming to you to use a class days drama, class this point. see, we play games, the kids forget to be on the monday screwed into find of a 100 less than your talents. of course, seen someone is he does be more often than even any other opportunity the going to right, you corresponded them. it's our social justice center, which aims at tactical forms a structural vine. and can you explain
7:39 pm
a bit about what made you want to start the organization? i was born in my body and then dropping montages faith, this one because i mean, okay, now i love my that it, you know, i was a, have your child. and when i became an adult is when i could see now the violence, i think people in my community who are going through the cold, let's see the police brutality. the police came in, the law of clean water. so growing up in mother is like growing up in a village, but everybody knows everybody. so when something happens to one of us really seen it. so the killings in particular too much. it was just too much. so to challenge that, we formed methodical shows us the sensor. and were there any person experiences that you live in missouri that made you want to start the organization?
7:40 pm
yes, um, my own brother was killed by a police in to a 7 to void for selection violence in canada. and that with a lot of other young people that i am grown up with being killed. and this is not just mysterious, and this is a story of many young people in my day do a to have a friend, a cousin, a brother, a neighbor that was killed by police when you're a window outside amatory. so i was just as soon as i can you tell me a bit about the work, the due date today, it is today receive cases from the community uh on the trends of it is that to be a lucky one, to bring justice to the community members mostly receive cases of police brutality of people who have been arrested with um, not enough reason, i guess has lived in
7:41 pm
a bit violent. but we have a community engagement, like watching film planting trees, community key knobs. community have been on stations. and every time we meet the center, we have to sing because the sun, an energy that comes when we things together and to just i just on to continue watching this class of seeking justice and dignity for our people. the. i wanted to ask you about the time in 2020, when you were a pretest against police brutality and you resisted arrest from 3 of police offices . and it was a huge reaction because the video of this happening went viral and lots of people. so read how was that experience to you and were you surprised by the
7:42 pm
reaction that it car? yes, i was surprised that it even went viral. i didn't know it was going to be that impossible. that i a woman that was able to stand up for myself, made the young man in my community, the more emboldened to sign up for themselves. it made them feel more helpful. i also have to say that at that very moment, it was the pain of every month i have worked with in thinking just as for the sun, every case i have documented every single person i have seen lives that lives in my community. a gave me this trend to say that this was enough, and this feeling how much was still the
7:43 pm
so one gera dice, thank you so much for being here today. when we think about the issues that are facing young people, it's interesting that 75 percent of the people in kenya under the age of $35.00, but only 40 percent of youth at registered to vote in the recent elections. why do you think it is that so few people are registered to vote here in kenya under the age of 35. i think it was a one of some of the existence from the people from the 8000000 tenants who did not come on towards. i think they was saying that they did not want to be a part of this. they wanted a system that works for them. and on the other hand, i think one thing is important because it's the only way we're going to put someone who could walk for us. but i think it was very loud that they use that side of the system of oppression. and what do you think this, how did you feel about the election and how did young people that, you know,
7:44 pm
speak about the election? remember before left, so new. i mean, we were in a crisis of course, the 19 and of course even the death i'm into uh, previously there one not even doing a lot of the people that they would just uh, making the people saw followed because the, there was not a lot of coffee was people, people not going to job. so in that when it comes to people now being told to vote and they were like and on the same government didn't campbell, it. that's why are they getting now they don't respect the voices. they don't tell what the say, but the one task to do what they see and that's, that's how we feel like it's what is not possible. it doesn't change anything. do you also feel that sense of accuracy towards the system? i do because women would see in the country, good independence with little change. look at the community where i come from. it's still the same for her to from before. so people are beginning to relate with, i mean, why do i even go towards it doesn't change my life in any way. how did you bring to
7:45 pm
that change if you withdraw from the system is that exist now? how can you amplify the issues that matters? he mice, i think we need another tentative system that sense as piece pull at the very call of the issues we have trying to address. how we need to bring about changes, organize ourselves as the youth, and advocate with one voice as one girl about the issues. that's much i to us. i feel like we shouldn't take a box it and watch and complain and say this system doesn't work for us. these people are caught up. it's an actively organized against the system. together. i know the both care about extrajudicial headings and kenya around the world. they were conversations around police brutality, and that's at the hands of the police. could you explain to me what it is like in kenya in regards to the extra traditional killings, the americans type in the hashtag blacklist, martha?
7:46 pm
i think it, it, it might the most in can because a, personally, i've looked 20 plus a friends. most of them was killed by police in the world justice. and initially this is this specific one of the dental. so if you imagine how many happens each and every day and my dad and keep that in, in, in, in the streets. so it's quite a very, very big issue that hasn't been happening. and we haven't been getting that solution . and wondering how would you explain it and now is i'm british colony when we go to independence, the police service that we're serving, the colonial government did not change when it's done looking as i became president . ok now he continued with the same police force that the colonial government was using and therefore pressing on, that's their practices. and they told him of that would cost up on the people to present the chance,
7:47 pm
leaving and in for most instruments. when george floyd was killed, 13 year old, the us and miles killed in all community. and when we planned the protest those this last time i saw kenya's soul invested in calculating methods of exciting to show things in the country. usually we will hold our demos, the 9 foremost settlements. i think doug slater hills can connect said a fast struggle in the us and us from without hand came out in large numbers to say we demand and interests any additional documents. so police officers have justified 72 percent of the kennings that have happened alleging that they were result of anti crime operations. and i wanted to ask within the communities, is that a slight tension that just some people maybe not have sympathy when somebody who was committing a crime dies at the hands of the police and how do you respond to that? yes, that happens. but i think it's um, we live in
7:48 pm
a country that prides itself in upholding visual noval. what do we have? well, let's say is, if someone has been found doing something wrong, can we have a little before not can we have them arrested and taken to court and prosecuted instead of the police this id to be the judge and the jury, and they've vacation now because this is what happens most of the time. and this is a crime not just in can no, but everyone else. i do not think police have a right to take away anybody's life when they is a little that can be followed. for me, the biggest issue has been the quality. they are not treating people the same. like we have been having news like a, a, sat in 5. so let's go to the took mindful data for the government to the se in these governors on news. but then not being killed. why is it that in where we leave and then the someone on just the phone? it was my dad, a cleaning on this, the cleaning all according to the,
7:49 pm
the little so the we need to, when we need to put it clear that it needs to be an, an important thing that we feel like it's not if it's not dry and equally on dish. uh that was the case of cause in being in this like some people and government had stolen dealings made so many tickets. they fits of course with names and in the country. and during this period, there was also um, a lot of property in the communities, and actually the police did not as waste their coven dns despite having been a protest. it is the people protesting against this. go with the union. that's what actually already said. so what that she's saying is there's a distinction between people who are stealing to survive and people who are stealing from the people. because their governments told from the poor in that particular incent which led them to lead groups. when you say that you're fighting
7:50 pm
for justice, what does justice look like? fear? so for me, justice means uh this, this consistent like people i shifted. same uh they said this list is like following the law when a moist killed with the police. uh one, do you mean by that 600 additional kidding to you or not, given a find me to bring the visit with the police to conduct a fundraising so as can get funds to do that, by the way in which why don't you have incandescence? because that by some of the scheme then it's wrong to you know, given a, find me so for this no invested there. so if i fight jesse's that people shouldn't be treated equally. that's what does this mean school and what about you under at what is just a sick lie to you and when you're fighting for that, what is it that you're thinking about? my brother was killed by police just this idea and they would look like me getting luck, my brother. but that is not possible. so injustice would look like preventing people
7:51 pm
from losing their loved ones. it's the only thing that would make sense for me sooner is and we, i'm finding that physical needs needs to solve so can, is do not have to go through a necessary, paid cost by it's implemented. so has that ever been a time that you have seen just as an action in kenya with regard to, you know, police kennings if and there was a case who offering of the office. the commanding station was over a couple of the station who killed someone in the police station who drowned them in a drum full of water and as the inmates could see that. and when we documented this case together with international justice mission, we took it to court and we attended court sessions. we are going to show a certain justice for my team call me and the enlightenment when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. and that was the 1st day i saw justice in action in this country. and i want to move the conversation a little bit and says,
7:52 pm
all the areas i know you care about. i want to specifically also talk to you guys about music. it feels like it is really a lifeline fear. so for me, music is life. uh, i feel like uh, the way the way people have a power like the police have the gun and they feed off one of the guns. so for me as soon as possible, and they have music because it's part of my life. last year we had the case of very beginning to end, or we had a police list looking for a site, and then the southern thief. when dining he, he went to, he's friends on some of defense on not the so the police ended up getting everybody and they did this all. it was all about stuff inside traditional kidding. we did go inside the to the then the community just to center. my dad is social justice centers and all that. and we, because just is to through the power of the ad and we've got new, new police. and are there any other names of people or any other examples of
7:53 pm
cultural art or music the you have found to be powerful or inspiring? and can you listen to me as a mon and the song, mississippi, and good them about police brutality. they will forgot that identify and became a big issue for the black people over there. they went to a protest singing that song, made them feel full possible. and nina, herself felt or like how do i find more relevance? we should see to advance the struggle of last people what you're saying about them is still very rel of lunch today in the us. and also we know communities in countries back home and i wanted to ask social media. it's done a lot in terms of sharing messages to do with activities and how important do you think that has been for you and can you more generally in terms of i'm to find messages like the ones you care about? most mostly i've been using social media as well as sort of like a proof. and whenever you have so strongly mean it's easier to even tell people
7:54 pm
like this. these are part of the things that they have done. so indeed up this a time she had issues with the police when they wanted to make others have a force unreal. we also that because of the social media. so this means that when we did send, it would be to move off. and so many people are inspired by high just because of this story. and this is because of the social media. it has even happened. both even industry to someone is being that if they've done this using such wouldn't be difficult people that he has to be noticed and then he hasn't done anything. so i have said that social media have played a very, very big role in terms of documenting issues. one very easy use youtube to teach that kind of alternative history. and i wanted, if you could speak to me a little bit about why you've done that, i love history. i think history is very liberating. when you get to see me know and understand. i think present the generation is quite disconnected with our very
7:55 pm
closely as history of the past. for example, my communities, my, my home in my diary has been around for a 100 years. it's been a century of survival and resistance. since 1920. my battery has been existing, think it's the oldest, get to him can now. so we've had presidents from 91063 who have done something to change the faith of the people of my di. but they did not. this is we have structural violence comes in that the people who continue to be neglected and continue to be exposed to system systemic violence of social injustice this. so when we understand as young people where we are coming from, it will be very easy to, to create like i know future. we want to know for children's children and simon, any best i know you can relax about your community. and i want to hear from you
7:56 pm
directly. what is it that you're proud of in terms of where you are from, and what your identity is? so uh, of course i'm proud of myself as cit from, from where i've come from and where i am a managed to to both of our 1010000 kids have identified the new talents among the successful stories that they have. is that about 50 young guys do not end up being and dropping off of school i li, pregnancies but we have monday to get them out of such issue so. so most of a proud to fall of the defies that i've gone through in interesting that thing satellite the songs that they've done and all that as a final notes. what is it, despite all of the issues that you have seen that makes you get up every morning? so 5 for a better day. why is it that you can see needs to do what you're doing? well, i guess my going is knowing that i'm on the right 5 and i'm doing my little thing towards contributing to the betterment of society. like one guy mother. i
7:57 pm
said to everybody around there was a little thing towards making the middle place. so that is my initial thing and i'm happy doing it. there is a now let's wake up every morning to ensure that what i'm being the, i'm not even paid or anything. it's just because i need to see a good future. i need to see a bit and or i need to see a bit of canyon. i need people to not leave the live that i have left so that so let's look up every morning for me to tell kids which, which if i'm really i know. so for the future can
7:58 pm
why have american evangelicals become this real strongest? backer is us president, you'll find the right to stand with israel with no red line. as long as us support continues. is there anything that can stop is real? solve on concept from going on in? definitely a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line, a meeting of mine's the tragedy for me, of a democratic solve effort there. it's how quickly we sort of adopted the very told re global, know the intertwining of money and politics campaigner andrew find state and photographer shock you do on, on activism. under crisis and gone. so what is happening today is top thing on our
7:59 pm
