in education. agitation are taking me ah, in. i definitely connected to side of the same coin, i think in order for you to see real change there to face building that relationship, there are different levels of relationship that they have to occur when you're trying to make make real change. so it's one thing for us to be on the grounds, the grassroots beyond the field, but there is no mandate that's helping us to do those things. so i think having the right people who have those connections, you need that. and if you need to get to me, folks were actually in,
12:34 pm
in the field who are living this on every day trying to make a difference. and the folks who are able to reach those and the power to have the problem. so right law to, to give resources to fend fines, to the community that needed. i good afternoon everybody. so before we get started, i know ron noticing how the young people behind you. i went in red tape across the amount of words on it. and just to show that represents either a power for word quote or a love when that they lost the gun violence while it, while in the fight. cod kayla dan very was kim main. 152015. she was my friend 24 year old edwards. james was killed on april 15th, 2019. he was my brother. 90 demonte johns was curious, september 5th 2018. he was my brother losing months. it was

12:38 pm
of benches over a thousands and thousands of years. some bench has fallen lots or ledges of slate or edges straight from manufacturers of all kinds. where people come to convene coal. remember, forget to resist settle, rest, reset. this bench is somewhere on the eastern seaboard of the united states of america. eventually walk by every day and era until one day. and i have the most beautiful, bold and poetry ever heard of my life. that's right, that's today. october 7th, 2019. i saw the wall street journal on a bench left behind by an investment banker at night, a woman experiencing homelessness. use the news as a pillow and a blanket. she spread the business tech sections across her leg,
12:39 pm
politics across her breast. she adjusted her head on life in art and use the bench itself as a bed sized for a queen. i saw a full life living dead or dying breath live in the chest with an open in order. a human worn and wary. a body left behind an untold obituary, a journal, and unrecorded life. on a bench i use, i lose
12:40 pm
. i see the map you see where we are right there. whereas the rescue mission, i said that no, san piedro and 6 here. ready. we're going to come up on the back of it right now. can you see our room? count the floor, count 1234. we're on the 4th floor. which one do you think is our room over there? ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even from station let it be an arms race is on,
12:41 pm
often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk you know pro vision on my back on it. i would have been under state like, oh okay, yeah. okay. so you'll have a lost his boss because i just got the new program he just got to be i'm on my cell, my daughter put up as soon as i miss it. so i don't know what it was. you're not so my pull up. i got my almost what i'm or whatever set up on me just call me. i mean it was a lot of things we went up as i say, i mean really here. so i just don't get on to the dentist to get over that. i'm one
12:42 pm
of this, but i'm like honestly this is what it is. i'm looking i didn't want to go to kind of one, but you're just part of yes, it was a total thing i was calling with you and your team, samantha katie. yeah. my thought, a lot of problem, you just gotta go to the the and now we're in an area where we're trying to save the planet. we want to be able to use energy and have special live, but also to live on a healthy planet. and the challenge is energy, it's the emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases that we're trying to manage. and there's many different ways of doing that. the transitions have begun in transition and it's proceeding along many different ways with
12:43 pm
the hey, we're almost there. you remember this either, where are you the 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,
12:44 pm
women, and children here that we stayed in the day room, which is basically like a large dining room, large cafeteria, sal, setting linoleum floors. it looks like a gymnasium. we had an air mattress id left on the floors 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. i be ready . i am
12:45 pm
in awe either me or jackie or or to go to and they every afternoon i this is about 75 miles 80 miles from our home. but the longest distance is when we do that in the morning, that takes at least an hour and 45 minutes cuz we do 5 nights of the monday through friday in monday and central in downtown audio or wednesday out central standard bennett and
12:46 pm
monica friday in downtown, exactly, union station, i believe we have designed our program is to serve them them and they are don't ask them any, don't judge. that's how they ended up being on the street. it's not god job the judge. ah, nobody likes to be looping on the payments, the traffic running around in a perfectly unsanitary condition that nobody's less to be that. ah, i, there is a 1000000 reasons why people become homeless. it's not always mental illness and
12:47 pm
it's not always drug addiction. 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 and it's easy to say only addict and drug users become home. that's never going to happen to me in my family. but the truth is in the united states, most people are a paycheck or to away their their one unpaid credit card away. you know they're one payday loan away. they're one on expected pregnancy away there 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. and your families had lots of people leave the foster care system and have nowhere to go. first 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 a team, it's like you're an adult,
12:48 pm
figure it out. i i, when you're living on the street, when you are an unhealthy person, when you have nowhere else to go and 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'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. like it is what it is. i don't know. so
12:49 pm
me and they knew me coming from india. it was very, very hard for me because i've seen power deal bothered me here to see the homeless people who are raised here on here about the country of the world, the wealthiest country of the world. and yet these people are going through trash cans to survive. ah ah
12:50 pm
ah, we have a program last year and we basically take food part new for the homeless that they are paid off my eye on an average we sell about $150.00 to $200.00 park meal the night we make it a point that we don't have them fall my line if somebody comes to their truck, fine line in my opinion is kind of
12:51 pm
a human. i think that that's not the idea that we started with. we wanted to give big maybe is the big thing with us in the fall. they're setting up a table and getting the water out of the way. we need both the wallen peers as well as it is something i would like to say that warranty is that it's the more than what they are giving with enough call your dance. we might be fasting on
12:52 pm
a few bucks worth of food donations uploading it to the index as a moment here, what you get is an expedient, self compassion and fashion and not be taught confession can only be expedient. what value on that price? 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 and it 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
12:53 pm
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. i just i, the manager gave me a deadline to leave before she filed the eviction paperwork. 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 today. i had a little bit of money from my aunt and so i went and booked a hotel room as frank 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
12:54 pm
like i like i had packed up and put everything into storage, but i didn't really know how to pay the storage bill coming in and 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 on assistance before. i've. i've had unemployment when i 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 and my kids to sleep. i would like an impossible momentous. i just had no comprehension
12:55 pm
of how do i get to a homeless shelter. so that whole process was from may 15th of 2017 and when we moved into domestic violence, shelter was july 3rd. so all those months were in no tell rooms or should be in the car. i just want to provide that a little money laundering person to see this. and this is a good start. well, we have our 3 banks all set up here. maybe something in europe, something in america, something overseas and cayman islands. you never know all these banks are complicit in their club policy. we just have to give me a call. i am ready to do some serious money laundry. ok. let's see how we did. well, we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for safety. oh,

12:58 pm
import export. do you imagine the number of per the diseases are in every family today due to new viruses or new microbes? that's not true. so it is due to, ah, let us see that no guns take either the momento without commander much hello? yes, accumulate me, come in today. no. they don't allow us. the food industry is successful, it will create more jobs. it will create more value added. it will create more. so i don't see why we shouldn't also fight for the interests of the industry that we have regulation. we want the regulation as the industry and if we don't have a specialty, that's fine. ah, it doesn't, you know, provisional, my background. i would have been interested in like, obviously lucky you lucky, last year. so you'll have to,
