showing the frontline, so lavelle has spoken with one such violence and 5 fights in the old safina fires line to visualize it. no, i got you. i got some stuff for sure. what it boils. right. and these are quite the journey from behind. balls in prison to out front and the fight against california is while flies, it really gave me the opportunity to redeem some of the things that i've done in my past when i was a young man. right. and he was given 6 years for burglary when he was just 20 years old, but signed up for a program to train as a firefighter, as part of a sentence, i was like, you know, where? i don't like myself, i want to change. why am i want to be trustworthy? i want to be responsible. as los angeles has bunch, the incarcerated has help. nearly a 1000 convicted criminals joining firefighters to bottle of places that have wiped out entire areas and left thousands dead. if ever there was a need. this last week has proven it because even with the nice 1005 fighters they

had access to when it came to these wildfires that devastated so many places like counties, 5 chief says they just didn't have enough people. that is why we've seen support come from further away from out of state, out of country, even from canada and mexico. i close at the home from california is presence identified by the orange uniforms. they sign up for the integrity to learn the skills california needs. i'm giving them a path to a career on the outside makes you feel really good aside. and that's something that i didn't really think i get the opportunity to do state govern a given use of a big fan so much. so he paused and dried me, who now runs the forestry fly and recruitment program to try to get more involved since outside of my organization, we've helped over 200 people get jobs and the fire service. some claim it is mutton dice, slave labor, praying all those with less law alternative just stuck between a rock and a hard place. it's really not a choice. and it's still very hyper exploitive. and so one of the challenges is

a lot of our folks were on those front lines are risking their lives for maybe $5.00 a day, a charge refuse to bio far as ease they come here by choice problem and re me himself. obviously it does say the state of millions of dollars, but at the end of the day it is a voluntary program. other states like neighboring, oregon, and washington also recruiting from prisons the highest keep putting a width of getting most severe. so does the need for more help fill of el al jazeera los angeles. all right, well that's it from the sinusitis and you can find more information on our sides or just their adults come. the news continues heavy again on the 0, but of the program witness the is there any sign of the lead for the millions of palestinians in gaza for now

stuck between an outgoing fighting administration and an incoming trumpet to industries. now that americans have decided to put form back in the white house. what kind of country in the world expect the quizzical look of us politics. the bottom line, a good . i might be the only woman in the room, the only black person. mm hm. definitely be on the most i serve as a state representative for the 26 district here in delaware. that was locked in and 2020 as the 1st most form to the dollar general assembly. at the time i was $26.00 the what's going on in title, assign the genocide and gaza and being outspoken about that. i've definitely felt

very isolated, not just among legislators, but among democrats. the great thank you recognizing the humanitarian crisis and gaza in supporting an immediate and lasting ceasefire. veteran speakers includes a 3rd and final reading the house concurrent resolution 125 title only brooklyn wilson, anton house, concurrent resolution number 125 years before. on the i feel a very strong emotional connection to the families that are being murdered and traumatized and starved. they like this that we focus on just how destructive with this massacre is to the lives of thousands of all ages.

especially the children in the river. could it be the, the the, what do i do in this moment to make the biggest impact, bring the message of what's going on and cause a to that room and record it and make sure that it gets out of that room.

and just the, i don't regret anything that i've said or that i've done, i've faced some repercussions with my colleagues who don't appreciate either the

message that i'm putting out or the way that i'm doing it. you know, both of my parents are african american and then as far as buying racial the about 10 years ago, my 5 decided and one is the privilege and i was like give me some of that. you know, when you have something like that, a lot of people notice it when they see you. right. so what time do i get people coming up to me that are like giving me ideas on how to fix it, right? because the know i have come to terms with this, you know, eventually all the all way. i mean, i always wanna do comedy since i was a kid. i'm like, you know what? i'm going to just give it a shot. see what happens. it definitely is

a stress relief for me. you said something about a state representative. here's the very nice the new guy, the earlier this week i disrupted an event of the vice president. so then this morning i got a letter from some of the democratic members of the coffee saying that they basically like disapproved of my behavior. and kind of alluded to that they want in some sense for me or something. so i was like trying to figure out what to do about that. what, like, what is the future going to do? what makes sense? what helps to movement, what does it, you know, make me get henri and elected my goods. this was a lot of different conversations. i've been feeling suprised slated when i got the letter and i saw how many people signed onto it. i was like really detective. the

people asked me like, why don't you just talk to her, why don't you send a letter? i did all those things except the doctor because i worked for the buying family. i reached out to them numerous occasions didn't get any response, like formal owners, phone calls, nothing. so there comes a point where as an organizer, as an active is 0, i see. do i have a meeting where there's no record? and there's not going to be any accountability for that content, or do i have a telephone call? i've also just gotten like a bunch of messages and people that just have like bomb emoji is in like curse words. and just so this one guy emailed me go pick cotton and louisiana plantation, slave of islam and disgusting anti semite,

who has no knowledge of the black experience under slum how innocent blacks were starved, slaughtered and slaved by arab muslims. but you sure know how to goose step right along side the mosque, baby killers. and girl rebus medina, the home. and then after i interrupted the holiday party that festive occasion. i got a lot of requests from the media to actually come out and speak about my perspectives on foreign policy. right now. what i think the, by the ministration should or shouldn't be doing. and also got to highlight the

fact that a lot of most americans and aero americans don't feel comfortable building providing in this upcoming election. and that's the point right this to show that our communities voice matters and that if democrats want to count on us, then we should be able to count on them. and if you'll excuse the point of personal privilege i want to is, uh, is uh, wilson. anton here welcome is good to see you. she represents the state of delaware. by the way. um i have so many photos went by and it has been like basically like a family member. here's you, here's your husband, here's your mom and who's this guy? now if you look at the photos that are like newer, there's a lot of names that are just like genocide, jones, of but there's also a lot of photos of me smiling with him like which, you know, in retrospect is pretty embarrassing. good. after reaching out and trying to reach

people that i thought had some kind of shared values with me that i thought i had connected with a school refers as people that silence was lex suprema. the more it went on all statements like 5. and i'm just like a post by and it feels like a lot of us talk to mom to be in this position. and now that we're seeing what it's doing, it's like how do i make amends? i'm going to introduce a resolution that i think is true to what we should be doing. i'm sure to my values, and i would like people to see that they're not alone and thinking is the you're, i'm not to blogs or so from the president's house. a lot of young local activists have decided to set up shop. he comes home to be like welcome and so i think it's important that we show that the messaging is you're not welcome home because you're

committing dentist do you can do you, do you send them home on you know, that would be happening if they weren't brought it to the land wasn't so large enough that i can you can do the money will commit work. how do you condemn is no, no no because they're defending the searchers. do i not have a right to be here just like the stuff? well, that's not my problem. my property that we're kind of the we're out here today just to protest the situation that's happening. gaza a were protesting the us military that goes to israel every year in front of my

found it the university dollars to, to just to palestine chapter that was kind of the beginning of my house. i toby's advocacy, the position the the

with the water and the the the, the, the,

the messages that the kids came up with were really touching, assuming the coach and was like duty scrolling. and there was this video of a few months of a little boy. and it was like so painful to watch and i just, i just broke down hardly. so i was home alone and i just talked as

well. which is good most which was it was what am i supposed to do? but i just kept asking. the building is public. right? so when you are with your parents or with your teachers, you can come back here and visit. have meetings learned about what's happening in the community. these are pictures of past governor. yeah,

always people used to be in charge a long time ago. this is a space that's open for the community to come and watch the proceedings. okay, so we're, we're showing everyone what it's like to watch from the balcony. today we are having our 1st annual most fun community day at the c capital here in delaware. so many community members here some for the 1st time. and i've already heard from the 4th back, but our legislative meeting earlier today, we're expected. and folks are really excited to continue the conversation. so thank you to all of our legislators who met with community members today. we look forward to seeing you all continuing to collaborate to help our community. number one issue for our community is we want a permanent and an immediate cease fire and cause that since january thousands more innocent people have been murdered. 1.1000000 are at risk of famine. right now. i

think it is our duty as elected officials to speak for justice regardless of if we have the ability to change it ourselves or not. and i think we're seeing that the more people who speak up from all walks of life easier, it becomes for those that are in power to do the same. and so i would employ my colleagues to speak for justice, regardless of that they have the ability to actually change themselves are not the, there was a possibility and we're going to vote on us is fine resolution. and it seems like that's not gonna happen. no, because people have issues with it, which you know, are kind of in his opinion, but i'm still a bit annoyed about that. it's

frustrating that we continuously cater to people who we know are not going to support the right. i gotta, i gotta run and get another call, but i hear you say listen, anton house, the current resolution number 125 is before us. thank you madam speaker. this house concurrent resolution recognizing recognizes the ongoing humanitarian crisis in gaza and supports the permanency speier release of all hostages delivery of the media and sustain humanitarian a to guys a and diplomatic action to facilitate long term and mutually respectful peace in the region. and it also includes that includes the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. so if there are no questions i'd ask for a voice vote, all those in favor of house concurrent resolution number 125 signified by saying, i know i've habits house concurrent resolution 125 is cleared past the house

surface that will sit in time thank you madam speaker. i just wanted to take a moment to think members on both sides of the aisle and in both leadership thank you. all, you all need a here. yes or the, i think signaling to the country, the world, the president has ministration that says home safe calls for a cease fire and outlines and different conditions for it. that's really powerful. there's the next step for me is to try to get this in the media so that it gets to our federal delegation. we just saw democracy election basically, i mean the folks who are working behind the scenes over the past few months to try to get a resolution passed. but i think the fact that we knew we were going to have most of a bunch of muslims in the building that kind of brought the level of urgency up for

a lot of numbers. i'm hoping that the energy that i felt out there on the stairs with all of our community members who are really excited about this, that, that like, is like a ripple and it keeps people energized to keep fighting. for an end to this genocide, the we are waiting to get picked up to go meet with someone in senator chris coons office, one of our senators soon to be our senior senator from dor and as we're standing here. lots of members are getting off the subway and we're trying to engage with them and they're like it would be really nice if the congressmen were to put out

a statement of support to demand an immediate end to u. s. military aid to israel and measures and support of the permanent, in a meeting. so smart for those of us the senate. i mean, i will definitely be disappointed how still acted, but you can't say like the delaware legislature and i thought it was a long shot to get it passed at all. and i think passing it out of the house, it was really monumental. and we're just trying to keep the momentum and do what we can just to be clear, i wanted to chat with you about the house concurrent resolution 125. so me, a lot of members of this, of the senate democratic copies were like, we don't want to touch it. we don't want to deal with. yeah, it's international relations. we don't have, you know, that's outside of our right. but and, and the ukraine resolution is a really good example because we is very strong language and that was several of my colleagues who it 1st were just like, don't want to do it. let's pretend it never happened. you have really,

really nervous about it. are starting to say, you know, i'm starting to get a lot of outreach. i'm receiving emails saying that, you know, we should put on this resolution. yeah, we support the resolution. you're talking to the advocates and i'm talking to the advocates to let them know to keep the pressure long because it's working, i think is important. we have members of the senate, you who want us to enter not to pass our resolution, yours or mine. um, but rather a completely different resolution one that they are gonna create since my name was the only son at name on the resolution. i got a lot of outreach. yeah. from outreach has a nice way of putting down the jewish community, the pro israel, the strongly pro is real jewish community that are part of my constituency. right. right. right. the jewish federation is in my district. okay. but so it was delaware rooms for pals to me and human rights also headquartered in my district.

so something i like to remind my pro is real. jewish friends is i hear you and i represent you. but do know that i also represent people with another opinion. the representative of the jewish federation asked to meet with me. and this was the resolution they brought me and asked me, would i be willing to run this one is which one of those are the for the one that's $1.00. 1. i was asked, would you run this instead of a, a c, r 125. rather than say what they didn't liked about this. they told me what the pro over. i love this, i agree you got. but what if we get somebody completely different? what we want to do is influence the actions of israel because the other ones we have and want to, i don't see anything wrong with holding them to a higher standard because we are supporting them with our money. i appreciate you. i'll keep you posted on how that. okay, cool. we only have 7 legislative days left, and if it doesn't pass this on it, it says if the house didn't pass it because it's just going to die,

it's not going to, it's a, you know, it's like we did something, but it's not gonna actually be like affective as like a resolution to pass those houses. so i know sometimes that's helpful. like the i do feel like our legislature would be more effective if we met all year round and not just for 6 months of the year. but i'm very depleted, especially with added like emotional stress and alienation and travel experience. austin, the, i'm looking forward to crap and i kept his team and they're gonna, they're not, i don't know if it does kind of take some of the seriousness or like depressing

moments and like to use them a little bit for me. i mean have me that noticeable like little i go people asking questions, right. especially kids kids loved to come up to me and be like what happened to your hand? and i get down on her level when i tell him the truth to when i was your age, my mamma told me to do something and i didn't listen. the i didn't realize it is going to be this many people i didn't know if it shouldn't be this long. i thought a few weeks, few months maybe. and what does depressed me is the fact that it's definitely going to be thinking about like what i could do to continue to support getting ceasefire liberating house. or if we want to have like

true peace in the middle east, and you need to do is to be just the, you're off a nation, richard with land mines and an expert dedicated to defusing them, one by one. equipped with only a knife and the hair is why it sucks. the faces death every day for does is worth making a hero or a talk witness. the minor on that a jersey to what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through here to 0. we believe everyone has a story we're hearing. as israel is more on gaza, continue, the new series takes you beyond the headlines of the conference. if you're not

chose, you're not entitled to the same sets of rights. award winning polls or funding my brutal meets renowned palestinian human rights defender. all not about the whole young generation. they have centered palestine as part of their identity as such. innovation that twice the defense world. refrain on a jersey to the

the no end is rel strikes on garza at least 7 ca polished indians have been killed since the seas. 5 deal was announced on wednesday. the sort of side us and this is all just there a lie from joe hall. so coming up on the part of them, israel's prime minister accuses how months of notes holding out fits parts of the agreement spot. the group says it's committed to the deal more with diplomacy and damascus. cuts us prime minister, hold.
