how awful and seeing that and seeing that young people can feel it a fact that rio just showed me that across issues across space as across the nation we need young people to be able to stand up and actually make their voices heard because they have an impact and they have a real measurable. as if. it's. just it's. it's really. it's not it's because there are. some very visible.

the father big brother. figure that voice that they might not be getting in between like the kids and the of those. acts. with a lot of a lot of money. but again people whether it's take them to go eat go on the play

basketball the consul my house they play games and they also i educate them and you know bring them together around issues that are affecting them in their community. to try to empower them to take to speak at one of these events to run one of these events. that are march and just is just showing them that they are capable of. starting their own movement. ah. ah ah. ah ah ah ah. ah ah indication. their faces are taken say.

they're definitely connected it's all sides of the same coin i think in order for you to see real change there takes build in their relationship there are levels of relationship that they have toward her we're trying to make make real change so it's one thing for us. to be on the ground be grassroots be on the field but there's no mandate that's helping us to do those things so i think having the right people who have those connections you need that any you need that's also getting the folks who actually in the field who are living this on every day this

is trying to make a difference and the folks who are able to reach those in the power that have the power to write laws to to give resources to send funds to these communities that. good afternoon everybody so before we get started on the road noticing how the young people behind me i wear red sable crossed a mouse with words on it and just to show that represents either a power for. a loved one that they lost to gun violence while that while the fight . 2 year old dk lydia's berry was kill may 15th 2016 she was my friend 22 year old edward james was killed on april 15th 2009 saying he was my brother. 90 don't want to johnson was killed on september 5th 28 saying it was my brother. losing down months it was a breaking point. for me he was a young person we lost him because massey. i didn't know how to move forward but

the young people always zillion they knew he was someone who wanted to make a difference and they didn't let that debt the one thing. the average this one baby. so. he's here with me i guess you don't know. yeah. yeah i've had it and mentally prepare. mentally really prepare myself because in the end like i hear you know there's certain things sit up and wait on them you know that can ma ma you know i can hear from a window called amused. at the deal with. the memories of i just say still here with me. this happy strong to get through the day because i

can come to sit down that's how small maybe not in the physical form. spears you. can tell is their home will make you happy make me happy don't wear a bad don't move any of. those school graduating from the do just a resume that as every. song to get you a few songs. character

is perfect. no sir thank you so. whoa. this bench is one of thousands and thousands of benches of thousands and thousands of years some bench as foam logs or

ledges of slate or edges straight from manufacturers of all kinds of people come to convene all remember or get a new system settle rest reset. this bench is somewhere on the eastern seaboard of the united states and there. is attention brought by every day and they're asked. to one day actually mean and i hear the most beautiful poetry ever heard. that's right that's today over sentence 2019. i saw the wall street journal on a bench left behind by an investment banker. at night a woman experiencing homelessness used the news as her pillow in a blanket. she spread the business tax sections across her legs politics across her

breasts. she adjusted her head on life in the arts and used the bench itself as a bed sized for a queen. i saw full life living death her dying breath alive in her chest. an open orbit. a human warning where. a body left behind. an untold obituary. a journal. and unrecorded life. on a bench. see

the map. you see where we are. there. where is the rescue mission. that sat now r.c.m.p. joan 6 here. ready. going to come up on the back of it right now. you see our room. count the floor scowled 1234 we're on the 4th floor which one you think is our room. over there.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids oids invented america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the

governments. seem wrong. just don't all. get to say proud to stay. active. and engaged because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that.

ok we're almost there you're a member of this. hi there were a lovely day at the area. very good. so this is where we used to live at the union rescue mission this is the front door you know we stayed here 8 months. at 1st there were so many families women and children here that we stayed in the day room which is basically like a large dining room large cafeteria style setting one only i'm sure ours looks like

a gymnasium. but it's we had air mattresses and slept on the floor for the 1st couple of months so from september until december and then in december we were placed into a room and because my daughter was with me and not my side it was just me and one child i was sharing a room with 4 other mothers who all had one child with them at the time being. ready. to.

i did meet jackie or both of us go. every often low. this is about 75 miles 80 miles from our home but the longest distance is when we do venice sunset i'm on a club that takes at least an hour and 45 minutes to get there. we do this 5 nights of the monday through friday. monday and skid row and dot com tuesday it's all you are wednesday in south central l.a. and in venice and santa monica. is again down the civic

center in. union station and you. believe we have designed a program. that is to serve them do you know what they are going to ask them any questions don't judge them that's muddy waters and how they ended up being on the street it's not our job to judge them. nobody likes to be a speed sleeping on the payments in their traffic going to get around in a totally unsanitary conditions that's nobody's wish to be that way. and. there's a 1000000 reasons why people become homeless it's not all. these mental illness and it's not always drug addiction yes those are true. i think those are 2 reasons that

have a really negative connotation so it's easy to say only crazy people become homeless and it's easy to say only attics and drug users become homeless that's never going to happen to me and my family but the truth is in the united states most people are a paycheck or 2 away their their one unpaid credit card away you know their one payday loan away. their one unexpected pregnancy away their one job loss away there are so many reasons why you could end up homeless and unable to pay your bills and unable to keep a roof over your head in your family's head. lots of people leave the foster care system and have nowhere to go you turn 18 years old and you are out that's it you go from having no parents and just a foster family to being on the street all the sudden you're 18 it's like you're an adult figure it out.

when you're living on the street when you are unsheltered person when you have nowhere else to go you have nothing to look forward to. i really think that i can understand how easy it must be to slip into a drug use and then fall into addiction because if you've just got nothing else good going on in your day and you need something to make you feel good. i can't imagine that there's. you know. i can't imagine that much else is going to make you feel good at that point when you've hit rock bottom it's like. it is what it is i don't know so.

and then immigrant coming from india it was where he when he heard forgive me because i was seen by our people of new. york it bothered me here to see these homeless people who are raised here on here such a wealthy country of the world the wealthiest country in the world. and yet these people are going through trash cans. to survive. the irony that it's seconds and.

we have a program for she and i mean we've used to eat the food part meals for the homeless but i would say on the street of los angeles. down. on an average. 152200 meals a night. we make it a point that we don't have them form on line if somebody comes to the truck following those. lines in my opinion is kind of. eat you. that's not the idea that we started bit we wanted to give dignity to be the.

father set up a table and sickness water on the way and say check out. my life. and told the wall and gives as well as. the seed of something i would like to see the wall and tears of the sea more than war did give me. with enough and. all your stuff. down down again we might be passing on my few boats worked out but ito if we need. donations i will be sent into the woods is.

the moment you are what you get is an experience of compassion that confession to not be tar compassion can only be expedient. and you don't want anyone. that's priceless. i was basically faced with that situation where the apartment manager knew i didn't have any way of paying immediately. but when i told her i was going to start working and i had family that would cover the rent until then it didn't matter she said. that she knew i was going to go back to him that she'd seen it happen hundreds of times before where. women claim that they're being abuse. and then they run right back to the man that they're alleging abuse against and she didn't want to deal with that trauma and she thought

it was better if i just moved out. the manager gave me a deadline to leave before she filed the eviction people work and so i left. because i knew it was just going to be that much harder to find an apartment if i had an eviction on my record but the day that i left the apartment. i really i did not have anywhere to go. i had a little bit of money from my aunt and so i went and a hotel room at langley. and i was staying in hotel rooms by myself or like if i didn't have enough money i would see by far. and i would try to. like. like i had packed up and put everything into storage but i didn't really know how he's going to pay this storage bill and how many going to pay. you know to keep

the kids and their toys and things like that and so i started selling things out of the storage unit to keep the storage unit and then going and selling blood. i was working. doing online transcription. so that was piece rate it was very very small sums of money i might work all day and make you know $15.00 i had never been on welfare before i had never been honest. i've had unemployment when i had lost jobs in the past but i had never gotten food stamps i had never gotten any of and to go from. having had a job since i was 13 years old to being in a motel wondering how i'm going to get $40.00 to find somewhere for me to make it seriously it was like. and impossible momentous i just had no comprehension of how do i get to

a homeless shelter. so that whole process was from may 15th 2071 a route into domestic violence shelter was alive or. so all those months were in motel rooms for sleep with all. the fun. if you. just look. at those connections to a moment to ask him should i ask for the astrovan he had seen and i'm interested

today for the guy for who should commission she. bridges just shoot on disk in the. command among. teachers. you know in your new car so sit on the open mush being new mama is just that our. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so.

direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. be a doozy i say. a few there won't be cheap. and then you went through all the countries. but ideas their right to do is come to be said if we give them everything slipped into fast. in this country. this is what we don't understand how we are poor in such

a country. that is until the month of the same time. the soon to run up or lose similar. jolly good one. because if you feel if the minutes of on board not that god can we believe again in the world with the phone about the future without the plane. would come back to the place story you have to see. it at least in the best the. if you move. to the. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we seem very sharp increase in the number. people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids. invented america under the banner

of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did go separate dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. must obey the orders given by human beings except when it conflicts with the 1st law. or should be very careful about official intelligence and the point is to create trusts. very chummy with artificial intelligence was something that the. robot must protect its own existence was exposed to the.
