7:36 pm
getting the place some people didn't need to find the stop listening to that, but we need to find that you need to find that. okay, so they came down the phone to me. i'm just trying to do something with that. try to nanny, came up with that after i did for that, i was sitting on it. that's where the junky sounds for me, for the dumpster stuff in getting on the the, the, the, how the working on it on site. and it says eyes, whenever them say to feel like you are popular is getting a place where people don't appreciate, you don't have a voice that nobody gets that much when we 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 can this nobody to share. what would they have?
7:37 pm
those stuff. i'm going to divide video in the mornings and find them i just there. so i was seeing them as the as the reload the and make sure you will find the car to see it or he's because the new a country equals. so i wanted to talk to you about your lyrics. you've done prior to something's about extrajudicial cleanings and the police know, getting people who live had last 3 friends. our in our center done the site because of its security from killing. they was beaten after the missed on the phone. that was the minds there was, i was hungry and so that's where i a b. i started becoming moving it go back to social issues on the not anything the one the one that day. but you will not, okay, we're 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 do these projects with young people. can you tell me that that what you do with them? okay, so of course it or does it is a community based organization that lots of kids from the age of 5 to 17, to ensure that that, that seems to be easy and that they don't end up the society special vices. he's coming the dates we to use glass days, drama, class this point. see we play games, the kids forget to be of the money screwed into find of a $100.00 plus new talents. of course the and someone is it has to be moved off with that. even any of that can be the going theory. you corresponded the med, sorry, 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 the girl of the month, interest side, the simply because, i mean, okay, now i love my that it, you know, i was a happy 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 but that is social justice center. and were there any person experiences that you live in?
7:40 pm
sorry, that made you want to start the organization. yes. um, my own brother was killed by a police in to a 7 to void for selection violence. and ken and that with a lot of other young people that have grown up, we've been killed. and this is not just mice, the 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. the winter when now i was fired them. it's our research assistance. i can you tell me a bit about the why fi g day today? it every day receive cases from the community on the trends of it is actually a lucky one to bring justice to the community members. mostly receive cases of when these mortality of people who have been arrested with not enough reason
7:41 pm
because of the end of this violence. but we have community engagements like watching film planting, trees, community cleanup community have been on stations. and every time we mix of this then, so we have to sing because the southern energy that comes when we things together and to just i just on to continue watching this class of speaking 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 his 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 in a car? yes, i was surprised that he 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 named michael me. teeth more emboldened to sign up for themselves. it made them feel more powerful. i also have to say that at that very moment, it was the pain of every month. i have walked with him thinking, just as for the sun, every case i have documented every single person i have seen lose that lives in my community. a gave me this trend to say that this was enough and this feeling how much were still the
7:43 pm
so 10 dash 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 75. i think it was a one of some of these, this sense from the people from the $8000000.00 tenants who did not come out 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 are 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?
7:44 pm
how did you feel about the election and how did young people that you know, 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 government to uh, previously there one not even being a lot of the people. yeah. they were just uh, making the people just off i lot because the, there was not a lot of coffee. was people people not going to job. so now when it comes to people now being told, devoted their life and on the same government, they didn't gamble with us. why are they getting now? they don't respect the voices. they don't tell what they 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. the fullest. i feel that sense of accuracy towards the system. i do because women void, see, says 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,
7:45 pm
why do i even go towards it doesn't change my life in any way. how did you bring it about change if you withdrawal from the system is that exist now? how can you verify the issues that matches he mice? i think we need another tentative system that sense as people 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 i will teach with one voice as one girl about the issues that 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, can we actively organize against that system together? i know the both care about extrajudicial headings in 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 2 additional cleanings,
7:46 pm
the medical step in the hashtag blacklist martha. uh, i think it, it might the most in can because uh, personally i've looked 20 plus friends. most of them was killed by police and mold justice. and initially this is just specific on the dental. so if you imagine how many happens each end 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 wonder how would you explain it? and now is i'm british colony. when we go to independence, the police service that was serving the colonial government did the 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 in their full fussing on. that's the practices that they told me they would cost up on the people to present the chance,
7:47 pm
leaving and in for most instruments. and when judge floyd was killed by 10 year old, yes and miles to the non community. and when we applied the protest to this last day, i, sol canyon's soul invested in calculating methods of it. so you just have to live in the country. usually we will hold our demos, the name, foremost settlements. i think good slater hills can connect said this trouble in the us and us from without hand came out in the large numbers to say, we demand that into ex, 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 law 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 a took mindful day 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 i just the phone, it was my dad, a cleaning on this, a 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 cold with being in this. like some people in 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 the 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 shifted. same uh they said this least it's like following the little moist killed with the police a one to me, but that's 600 additional kidding to you are not given upon me to be the by the police to conduct a fundraising so i can get funds to do that, by the way, in which, why don't you have incandescence? because that by some of the scheme that need strong 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 justice means going. and what about you under, at what is justice? lied to you and when you're fighting for that, what is it that you're thinking about? my brother was killed by police. justice ideally would look like me getting boss, my brother. but that is not possible. so injustice would look like preventing
7:51 pm
people from losing their loved ones. it's the only thing that would make sense for me sooner is, and we, i'm finding that physically needs to solve so can, is do not have to go through unnecessary 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 or there was a case to all funding of the o supplementing 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 had and 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 view. 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 ball for me the gun. so for me it's even possible and they have music because it's part of my life. last year we had the case a very beginning to end, or we at a police was looking for a site and then the southern thief. when dining he, he went to his friends on some of the defense on the so the police ended up getting everybody under the that's all, it was all about stuff. it's like you're just getting, we need coincides to the community just to send them. and that is social justice centers and all that. and we be good justice 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
7:53 pm
examples of cultural or music the you have found to be powerful or inspiring and can? yeah. i've listened to nancy mon and the song, mississippi, and good them about police brutality, the full gus 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, hassle of felt like headlights had more relevance when she would sing to advance the struggle of love's people. what she was saying about then it's 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 that you care about? most. mostly i've been using social media as well as sort of like a proof. and whenever you have so many dates, easier to even tell people like this,
7:54 pm
these are part of the things that they have done. so indeed up this a time she had issues with the police when they the one day too late. that is, how may force new york we also that because of the social media. so this means that when we did send, it would be to move off when and so many people are inspired by high just because of the 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 social media to tell 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 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 a generation is quite disconnected with our very glory as history of the past. for
7:55 pm
example, my community, my, my home in my diary has been around for a 100 years. it's been a century of survival and resistance since 1920 for my daughter 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 life. but they did not. this is we have structural violence comes in that the people in my life 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 care a lot about your community. and i want to hear from you directly. what is it that
7:56 pm
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 sick from, from where i've come from. and where am i managed to to both of a 1010000 kids have identified their new talents among the successful stories that they have is that about 50 young guys do not end up being and dropping out of school dependencies. but we have monday to get them out of such issue so, so most of a proud of the defies that i've gone through and ensuring that things satellite the songs that they have 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 bed today. why is it that you can see needs to do what you're doing? well, it's just me going is knowing that i'm on the right 5 and i'm doing my little thing and towards contributing to the betterment of society. like one
7:57 pm
guy, as i said to everybody around there was a little thing towards making so all over the place. so that is my initial thing and i'm happy doing it. there is a notice 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
