not offended. if we go into these rooms with these senators and with these house members and they'd be surprised because we were these young faces who had experience to stop myself and my friends and bring them into those room suddenly these senators didn't have the same kind of talking points which they normally had they couldn't just shout us down. through 3 cheers for the meal you made me. so i don't know any powerful and seen that and seeing that young people can really affect that real and 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

a go. it's. just it's. really. it's not it's because there. isn't it is a. like

a father big brother on the on the figure that begs to voice that they might not be getting in between like the younger kids and the of those. who. was with be asking a lot of a lot of my time but again people have a risk taking to go ego on the play basketball the consummate house they play games they also i educate them and you know bring them some gather around issues that are affecting them in their community. could. i please. try to empower them to take me 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. how. does the investigation. their station start they can say. they're definitely connected it's the size of the same calling i think in order for

you to see real change there it takes building their relationship there are different 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 you need that's all together you need 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 they have the power to write laws 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 while the fight. 2 year old dk lydia's berry was kill may 15th 2016 she was my friend so many 2 year old edward james was killed on april 15th 2009 saying he was my brother. 9 to 0 delmonte 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 my city. 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 desk one day. and the hour and this one baby. so. he's here with me i guess you don't. yeah. yeah

i kind of mentally prepare myself. mentally really prepare myself because in the end like i hear you know a certain look they. sit up and wait on them you know that i can hear ma ma and you know i can hear him from a window called amused. at to deal with things. as the memories of i just say i'm still here with me. this happy strong woman get through the day because i can come to sit down that's how small maybe not in physical form. spears you. can tell is there more make you happy make me happy don't wear bad don't move any of. those school graduating from the d. just a resume that as everything. has its own getting

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 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 of my life. 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 text 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.

and unrecorded life. on a bench. see the map. you see where we are. there. is a rescue mission. set now r.c.m.p. joan fixed here. ready. we're going to come up on the back of it right now.

you see our room. count the floors count 1234 and we're on the 4th floor which when you think is our room. over there. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhat. direct. what is truth what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. remained in the shallows. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest or you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to him to essentially destroy personality of an individual. by scientific. this is how one doctor's theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation psychological court for the cia disseminated within the us intelligence community and worldwide among our allies for the next 30 years and how

the victims say they still live with the consequences today. this is really the beginning of the changing of the guard in our now handing the baton off to china as the number one economy in the 21st century the numbers are there this a to stick so there their relationships and you're here. or there the relationship with russia and iran is there you know there and there was a ship all over africa is also their.

payroll my. there you remember this. kind of air where i love that there are you. 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 linoleum floors it looks like a gymnasium. but we had air mattresses and slept on the floor for the 1st couple of months or 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 we. were writing. or jackie your book hope was go. off to move.

the slow boat 75 miles 80 miles from our home. the longest distance is when we do venice and said i want to go that takes at least an hour and 45 minutes to get you know. we do this 5 nights so be monday through friday a. good troll. used to call you or runs to the slopes and drive in venice and santa monica. is again. the civic center. union station in. the me we have designed a program. to serve them do you know what they are for the many questions don't judge them that's. called they ended up being on the street and it's not our

job to judge them. when he likes to be on speed sleeping on the payments with their traffic going to get home in a cold unsanitary conditions that's nobody's wish to believe. there's a 1000000 reasons why people become homeless it's not always mental illness and it's not always struggled action yes those are 2. i think those are 2 reasons that have a really negative connotation so it's easy to say only crazy people become homeless it is easy to say only addicts 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 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 able to keep a roof over your head and your families 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 aren't on sheltered 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 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 imagine that there is. 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. coming from india it was when he when he heard forgive me because i was seen by our people do. weird bothered me near d.c. these homeless people who are used to you on here so talk about the country of the

world going to you know the world. and yet these people are going through trash cans. to survive. that is right and it's seconds. and. we have a program for she and i mean we've received in the food hot meals to the homeless that i would say on the street of los angeles.

on an average. 152200 odd meals a night. we make it a point that we don't. have them form a line to give somebody comes to the truck find those dirty mind in my opinion is kind of. e.q. lazy that's not the idea that we started did we wanted to give dignity is the big thing that does.

color set up the table and this water out of the way and say. check it out. i think. as a whole. the wall and gives as well as. the cvs something i would like to see the wall and here is the seed war and war did give me. with enough and. all your stuff. done again we might be passing on my few votes well close but eto'o if we need all of them donations of will be sent into the news. in the moment or what you get is an expedient self compassion. confession to not be talk compassion can only be expedient. and you don't want to go on. 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 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 were 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. i went and a hotel room at langley. and i was staying in hotel rooms by myself or like i didn't have enough money i would sleep in my car. 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 and my kids to sleep it was like an impossible momentous i just had no comprehension of how do i get to a homeless shelter. so that whole process was from may 15th of 2017th and will move into domestic violence shelter was july. so all those months were in motel rooms or sleep with.

join me every thursday i'll be all excited i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us through the world of politics sports business i'm show business. those. who would. make sure the center of the storm of the lower street view or restroom. when you go to the movie way of go in with video is. that still it is the soul of the. time we took to keep the.

thing. in. the news or any deficiency in the last 4 years it was the fact we had this transformational president and with really grand aspirations that were broadly supported by the american people in the most populous present in this country's recent history were matched by the appointments that were made in the administration and i think maybe with his background in business he might have underestimated the importance of personality but having worked in the white house in the executive branch of government so much rests on personnel. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people.

must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification for should be very careful about 1st the colleges and the point is to create trusts in the shia. areas say what. artificial intelligence was something that the. robot must protect its own existence as. were more politicized than ever or more polarized than ever the 21st century when speed is measured in megabytes per 2nd. just on the. seeds in him

electronic mail electronic money electronic media infinite possibilities for exchanging information i mean me and misquoting ish my misery nationalized freedom of speech and social media bent censorship and double standards who should judge what can be said online. but i want to. the internet audience know totals almost 4500000000 almost all of them are active social network users put one wrong move on their pages deleted digital. don't exist anymore. not 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 bent is there any limits to hold that virtual power. reasonable for a nudist but i was reasonable way.

and the story is this shape the we pay campaign to boycott facebook has no $1.00 in a strange trip it's news feed in the country the text. i made the move proposed you know to make social networks pay for news content we need to face the issue should facebook profit on someone else's work without giving them some of what biggest problem with their utterly controlling the narrative i think this whole social media i guess ecosystem has really spun out of control in terms of how it is monetizing. dozens are left millions without power and want to hustle florentines in the southern united states struggle to cope with crippling winter storms.
