more to them totally destabilized global economy. you need to protect yourself and get inform white guys with ah, the unique thing about my for our lives is that the adults are afraid 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 battles. prevention bill. they're afraid to not be with us because i don't want to see what would happen if we were to call them out or not taking our meeting, but a $187.00 total instances. 38 deaths 93 injuries. and then 15 teenagers killed or injured children,

0 to a we go into these rooms with the sensors and with these house members. and they'd be surprised because we were these young faces who had experienced to come by myself, my friends on brain them into those rooms. suddenly the senators didn't have the same kind of talking points which they normally had. they couldn't just shout us down with amelia. i mean, so i don't know foreign talk to you or how i've seen that and seeing that young people can really affect that really just showed me that across issues across spaces, across the nation. we need young people to be able to stand up and actually make that voice as hard because they have an impact. they have a real, measurable with

really toyota ah ah,

i wish i could have a father big brother on that figure that bags to voice that they might not be getting in between like the reaches and the adult level. a lot of my time, but again, people, whether it's taking them to go eat, going to play basketball, they come to my house, they play games and they also, i educate them and you know, bring them together around issues that are affecting them in that community. it's not empower them to take leave to speak at one of these events to run one of

these events. it's a bit from that or march just to show them that they are capable of starting their almost oh with me. sure, definitely. connect it to a size of the same coin,

i think in the order for you to see real change there to it takes building that relationship there, 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, be grass roots 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 i need you need that folks are getting the folks were actually in the field who i live in is on everyday basis trying to make a difference. and the folks who are able to reach those and the power to have the power to write laws, to give resources to, to defend funds, to these companies that needed. good afternoon everybody. so before we get started, i know ron noticing how the young people behind me are wearing a red tape across their mouths, the words on it. and just to show that represents either

a powerful word quote. i love one that they lost a gun violence while it while in the fight. c. e o. d kayla dance very was keel mays. 152016. she was my friend, twining so your your era. james was here on april 15th 2019. he was my brother 19 o delmonte janice was killed or september 5th 2018. he was my brother losing down my. it was a breaking point for me. he was a young person. we lost the key of my city. i didn't know how to move for what the young people are resilient. they knew he was someone who wants to make a difference and they didn't let bad death. going vain. me. i really miss my baby. so he's he awake me. i get you down. yeah. yeah,

i got him mentally prepare myself mentally. really prepare myself because, you know, as you see in like i hear, you know, is certain things in our sit up and wait on them. you know, that can hear my mom. you know, i can hear them a window called me. do you have to deal with islam? memories for like you say he still here with me is happy, strongly get through the day. because i can come to sit down and talk to them. maybe not is, will form a spiritual gammy always the mom will make you happy will make you happy. nowhere bad. don't go school graduate with me. that has everything down job.

can you wait with ah yeah, right. there is perfect. right, right. no sir. thank you.

this bench is one of the thousands and thousands of benches over thousands and thousands of years. some bench has fallen, logs or ledges of slate or edges straight from manufacturers of all kinds. where people come to convene pulp, 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 ira till one day. i

mean when i hear the most beautiful, bold and poetry ever heard of my life. that's right. that's today. october 7th, 2019. or 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 a pillow and a blanket. she spread the business tech sections across her legs, politics across her breasts. she adjusted her head on life and arts and used the bench itself as a bed sized for a queen. i saw a full life living dead or dying breath alive in a chest and obeyed in order a human warning where a body left behind untold obituary,

a journal, and unrecorded light on a bench with ah see the map you see where we are right there. where's the rescue mission? that no, san piedra and here. ready? we're going to come up on the back of it right now.

casey, i room. count the floor, count 1234. we are on the 4th floor. which one do you think is our room over there? ah ah, and i make no borders line to nationalities and users as a merge, we don't have a therapy. we don't to look back. see the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better,

we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response has been massive, so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race group is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk to rob is driven by a dreamer shaped bank. concur some of those with

there's sinks, we dare to ask ah, bill with

hey, we're almost there. you're remember this i rare to work a lot with so this is where we used to live at the union rescue mission. this is the front door. yeah, 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, south setting linoleum floors. it looks like a gymnasium, but we had air mattresses. i slept on the floor for the 1st couple of months. um, 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 to redding . mm mm mm mm ah i don't me, aunt jackie are both of us go to adelaide every afternoon

about 75 miles 80 miles from our ball park. the longest distance is when we do that in some santa monica, that takes at least an hour and 40 point. next to that we do is 5 nights. the monday through friday, monday, a tuesday or wednesday is south central la venice or santa monica friday in downtown the civic center union station. mm. the we have designed our program is to serve them if they are going to ask them any questions, don't judge them that somebody or how they ended up being on the street. it's not

god job the judge. ah, nobody likes to be sleeping on the payments that their traffic running down in a totally unsanitary conditions. that's nobody's wish to be that ah ah, 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 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 addicts and drug users become homeless. that's never gonna happen to me and my family. but the truth is in the united states, most people are

a paycheck or 2 away. they're. they're one unpaid credit card away. you know they're one payday loan away. they're one unexpected pregnancy away there one job loss away there. 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. 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. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah,

when you're running on the street, when you are an unselfish 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, it's like it is what it is. i don't know. so i do have an immigrant coming from india. it was very, very hard for me because i've seen power deal with bothered me

here to see these homeless people who are raised here on here. such a wealthy them 3 of the wealthiest them 3 of the world. and yet these people are going to trash cans to survive. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, i mean, we have a program called or she and i me,

we basically take full part meals to the homeless that i would, they are paid off from us on an average please. so about $150.00 to $200.00 park meals a night. we make it a point that we don't have them fall my line if somebody comes to the truck, fine. those line in my opinion is kind of humanizing that

that's not the idea that we stoddard bed. we want to give big nitty is the big thing with dollar, setting up the table and getting the slider either way, we need to bolt the wallen piers as well as them receive something. i would like to say that warranty is the see more than what they are giving a with us again, we might be passing on a few books, worked out, but ito of food on donations uploading, send it to me. i work in the moment here,

what you're good is an expedient self compassion. aggression to not be taught, confession can only be expedius and you know what value on that. that's priceless. i was basically faced with that situation where the apartment manager knew i didn't have any way 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 to her. 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 drama, and she thought it was better if i just moved out for 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 blank and i was staying motel rooms by myself. or like, i didn't have enough money. i would see for my car. and i would try to like mm. like i had packed up and put everything into storage, but i didn't really know how he's gonna pay the storage bill. how many gonna pay a, you know, to keep the kids clothes 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 plasma. i was working on 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 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. 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

2017. and when we moved into domestic violence, shelter was july 3rd. so all those months were in motel rooms were sitting in the car. ah, it's over a month basically, but i still, i believe we did. who bought i bought a dial tomorrow, a couple of reviews on your weight. but i know from politicians to athletes and movies, does the musicals does it seems that every big name in the world has been here last year. hope of miss you can look up. this goes to school. i wonder why she wasn't when it gets a call for anything national booklet doesn't give me a global new sport, but she said basil makes dreams come true. but everyone who falls in love with it would

look like a job today with all the money laundering. first, and it was a 3 different. oh good, this is a good start. well, we have our 3 brags all set up here in europe, something in america, something overseas, in the cayman islands, you know, all these banks are complicit in the procedure. we just have to give him a call and say, hey, i'm ready to do some serious my laundry. ok, let's see how we did. well, we've got a nice laundry washer bags and for stacy, oh, beautiful jewelry. and how about ha ha, luxury automobile again for mag, you know, it, money laundering is highly legal. don't be

a oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe for? hi selection for community? are you going the right way, or are you being led to somewhere? which direction? what is true? wharf is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally and going to resist idolatry. how

that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down and talk with the headlines now say hidden treasures, the secret financial dealings of hundreds of the world's richest and most powerful people are revealed in the biggest delake of offshore data at the united states itself has emerged as a leading tax haven also the sy, with an energy crisis looming over europe and skyrocketing gas prices in the member states, to point the finger of blame, brussels green politics and also russia and fury in austria, from afghan, with a 7 year old girl. the sentence and months behind bars and keep in therapy and family
