in the administration i think maybe with his background in business he might of underestimated the importance of person now. having worked in the white house in the executive branch of government so much rests on personnel . it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime but old wounds still haven't healed. in the. me in the us at the source mean that i wish that i think. of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption that only. to this day mothers still search for grown children adults look in hope for their

birth parents. the unique thing about marshmallow lives is that he the adults are right of us quite frankly members of congress are very afraid of us and that's something we know and we definitely use to our advantage we're able to get meetings with people who quite literally will never vote in favor of any gun violence or edge bill but they're afraid to not because they don't want to see what would happen if we were to call them out for not taking our meeting but 187 total instances 38 deaths 93 injuries and 15 teenagers killed or injured 3 children serious. to another. we go into these rooms with these and with these house members and they'd be

surprised because we were these young faces who had experience to come out and stop myself and my friends and bring them into those rooms suddenly these senators didn't have the same kind of talking points which they normally have they could just show us down. through their 3 children a chameleon me as they see me. so i don't know form talk to you or the powerful seeing that and seeing that young people can really affect that room just showed me that across issues across spaces 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. this is. really.

going to be used in a good. some very specific. i .

like the father big brother out there on the figure that begs to voice that they might not be getting in but when like the other kids and the of those. acrobat i've. spent a lot of a lot of my time with the young people whether it's taken to go ego on the play basketball the consul my house they play games they also i educate them and you know bring them together around issues that are affecting them in their community. which i don't power them so take to speak at one of these events to run on these events to be a father marge's and just showing them that they are capable of. starting their own movement. ah. ah

ah. 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 to occur where you'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 committees 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 powerful. quote of a loved one that they lost to gun violence while that while in the fight. c.e.o. dick ala dan's barry was clear made 152016 she was my friend so on and so year old

edward james was killed on april 15th 2009 saying he was my brother. 900 don't want to johnson was killed on such summerfield 28 c. it was my brother. losing dominance it was a breaking point. for me he was a young person we lost him because my city. i didn't know how to move forward but the young people or resilient they knew he was someone who wanted to make a difference and they didn't let that death go and vague. this one baby. so. he's here with me i guess you don't. yeah. yeah i've had it and mentally prepare myself. mentally really prepare myself because you know you

see in like i here and you know a certain look they. sit up and wait on you know that i can hear ma ma you know i can hear them a window called amused. at the deal with. the memories but i do say still here with me. this happen stronger get through the day because i come to sit down and talk to maybe not in physical form. or spiritual. path analysis make me happy make me happy don't wear a bad it don't. go school graduate be do just a resume that has everything. so. carried away from. it. yes.

character is perfect. no sir thank you that's so.

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 few system settle rest reset. this bench is somewhere on the eastern seaboard of the united states and there. is a bench and walked by every day and they're asked. to one day actually mean and i hear the most beautiful old poetry i ever heard. that's right that's today over 72019.

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 the chest. and open in orbit to. the human warning where. a body left behind. an untold obituary. a journal. unrecorded life. on a bench. see

the map. you see where we are. dry there. is a rescue mission. that now r.c.m.p. john thinks here. ready. we're going to come up on the back of it right now. casey our own. count the floors count 1234 we're on the 4th floor which one you think is our room. over

there. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. or going at the coast because you know no rush for us though up most of us have got troops for ways to own things on their way to set their child. back home black americans suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. of nows the ins that columbus was the real lybia loser all show them one by else a store on the by the door to. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all and some of the are career groups who are too thrilled if you're in the united. around great crowd.

to moulay a golf you know prone to call. me and now. almost a 100 years later history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time we went to russia. probable worst time to go anywhere why not me. why don't i come here. kind of financial survival john money laundering 1st to visit this confession to 3 different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the. poll and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about.

luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal. much keyser of course. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for them to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

hey we're almost there you remember this. kind of air i love that there are you. here. 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 linoleum floors and it looks like a gymnasium. but 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 son 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. the writing. on. i did meet jackie or both of us go. to l.a.

every often. this is about 75 miles 80 miles from our home but the longest distances when we do van is 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. mondays intro and dotcom tuesday it's all your wednesday in south central l.a. and in this venice and santa monica friday is again downtown the civic center in. union station and you. know me we never designed a program. in this to serve them because i love they are going to ask them any questions don't judge them that's maybe modern and how they ended up being on the

street it's not our job to judge them. nobody likes to be honest be sleeping on the payments with their traffic going. that's my words. there's a 1000000 reasons why people become homeless it's not always 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 had. 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 drug use and since then fall in. so 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 hit rock bottom it's like. it is what it is i don't sell. and then immigration coming from india it was when he when he heard forgive me because i've seen power people with you. get bothered me here to see these homeless people who are raised here bomb here such

a wealthy country of the world the wealthiest country in the world. and yet these people are going through trash cans. so why. aren't hundreds of seconds. and. we have a program for sure i mean we used to eat the food part knew who the homeless made i would be on the street oh most attention.

than. on a number of. 152200 meals a night. we make we don't whine and we don't have them form on line if somebody comes to the truck those in line in my opinion is kind of . eat human life here that's not the idea that we started bit we wanted to give dignity is the big thing with. the.

father set up the table and in this water out of the way we need to. check out. i think. and i told the wall and gives as well as. this if something i would like to see the wall and tears of the sea more than war dead give a. little back and. all your stuff. down down again we might be passing on a few bucks worth of but eat a loaf we want our. donations i will be a senator he is. the moment we are what you get is an experience of compassion. compassion to not because our compassion can only be expedient. and you don't want anyone. that's priceless.

i was basically faced with that situation where the a part manager knew i didn't. anyway 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 abused 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 my r. . and i would try to. like. like i had packed up and put everything into storage but i didn't really know how it's going to be 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 . 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 to sleep it was like an impossible. i just had no comprehension of how do i get to a homeless shelter. so that whole process was may 15th of 2070. or.

with a new machine the sort of the beach. when you go to the movie. it. still has the soul of the. chief. were more politicized than ever or more polarized than ever the 21st century when

speed is measured in megabytes per 2nd. using him electronic mail electronic money media infinite possibilities for exchanging information. for. speech and social media bends censorship and double standards who should judge what can be said online or something. but i want to. come down to the internet audience now totals almost 4500000000 people most all of them are active social network users put one wrong move on their pages deleted digital annihilation who don't exist anymore. god who runs the show on the web how can anyone stand up to the tech giants if he from the heads of state face the threat of being banned is there any lives to hold that virtual. reasonable flying to those communities

but i was reasonable way. in the stories that shaped the week moscow warns that brussels is politicizing the fight against the pandemic and the kremlin hits back at controversial comments from the head of the european union nothing down over russia's back seen. australians launch a campaign to boycott facebook after it bans news posts in the country the tech giant made the move every post want to make social networks pay for news content but the issue up for debate should facebook profit on someone else's work without giving them somewhat bigger problem facebook is that they're utterly controlling the narrative i think this whole social media i guess ecosystem has really gone out of control.
