blue cross driven by dreamer shapes bank. concur. some of those with dares sinks. we dare to ask ah, what else was the most basic? what could i see? you douglas, go, he did. who bought? i bought a dial to them. a couple of pretty than, you know, quite 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 with ms. you can look up is

a typical but i need to remove it does not give me a glove with new sport, but she said basil makes dreams. come true, that every one who falls in love with people like wide mm with ah, the unique thing about march 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 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 for not taking our meeting, but a $187.00 total instances. 38 deaths 93 injuries. and then 15 teenagers killed or injured 3 children, 0211. a . we go into these rooms with the sanchez 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, i'm brain, i'm 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. so i don't know foreign talk to

you or powerful. i'm 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 that voice as hard because they have an impact. they have a real, measurable really toyota ah, ah,

ah, a nurse my father, a big brother on that figure that bags of voice that they might not be getting in between like the reaches and the of those 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. i try to empower them to take leave to speak at one of these events to run one of these events. so being from that or march just it's just showing them that they are capable of starting their own move. oh with

me they're definitely connected. it's the size of the same coin, i think, in order for you to see real change there to it takes build in 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 grassroots beyond 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 together. you need folks were actually in, in the field who are living this on everyday basis, trying to make

a difference. and the folks who are able to reach those in the power to have the power to write laws to give resources to, to defend funds, to these companies that need it. 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 power for work quote or a loved one that they lost to gun violence while it while in the fight. cl dk, la dan's very was keel may 15th 2016. she was my friend finding full year y'all. era james was here on april 15th 2000. 19. he was my brother. 19 o delmonte jostle was killed on september 5th 2018. he was my brother, loosened down my. it was a breaking point. for me. he was a young person. we lost the key of mass city. i didn't know how to move for what

here right there is perfect. right? right. no sir. thank you. this bench is one of thousands and thousands of benches over thousands and thousands of years. some bench has fallen,

locks or ledges of slate or edges straight from manufacturers of all kinds. where people come to convene cult, 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 i are are one day to me when i hear the most beautiful poetry ever heard of my life. that's right. that's today. october 7th, 2019. mm hm. 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 death or dying breath alive in a chest with an open in orbit. 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, that no san piedra and fix 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.

and the way of life of reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. while the main drive, the women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders. rather than make sure that he now a hell of a, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a housewife could secure regular income and it's in the final semester with

ah ah, with

hey, we're almost there. you remember this? i there who were below that are you there it is. 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 and slapped 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 oh ah with mm ah i don't me, 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 sunset, monica, that takes at least an hour and 45 minutes to get there. we do this for 5 nights of the monday through friday. mm. mondays control in dow tuesday or wednesday south central la is venice or santa monica friday in downtown the civic center union station in mm. we have designed our program is to serve them very well. they are, don't ask them any questions, don't judge them. that's pretty modern. how they ended up being on the street. it's not god job the judge. ah, nobody likes to be sleeping on the payments with their traffic running down in

a totally unsanitary conditions. that's nobody's wish to be that 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 going to happen to me in my family. but the truth is, in 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 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 of a sudden, you're 18. it's like you're an adult. figure it out. ah ah. when you're living 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 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 i do have an immigrant coming from india. it was very, very hard for me because i've seen power deal bothered me here to see these homeless people who are raised here bond here. such a wealthy country of the world, the wealthiest country of the world. and yet these people are going to trash cans

to say, why a ah, a we have a program or she and i me, we basically take food part meals to the homeless that i would, they are a a

on an average. we serve about 150 to do 100 hot wheels a night. we make it a point that we have them fall my line. if somebody comes to the truck, fine, does line in my opinion is kind of a human. i think that's not the idea that we started bid. we want to give big nitty is the big thing with all their setting up the table and getting this water out of the way. we need to

add both the wallen piers as well as them receive something. i would like to say that warranty is the see more than what they have given with us. again, we might be passing on a few bucks worth help, but ito of food on donations, upload the sanitary. i do it. but in the morning here, what you get is an expedient, self compassion. ambition can not be talk. compassion can only be expedient. and you know what value on that that's priceless with. 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 to her. she said that. 1 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, and 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 went and booked a hotel room as langley me and i was staying in hotel 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 is going to pay the storage bill. like how me going to pay for, you know, to keep the kids clothes and their toys and things like that. and so i started selling things out of a 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 on assistance before.

i had unemployment when i lost jobs in the past, but i had never gotten food stamps. i had never gotten any of them 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 make it 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 for sabrina car. these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger and survive something on survival.

one of the hardest things that i had to face was not having a face at a low expectation to life. i accepted accept the fact that i made that it's where we had no fears. dell change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. ah, but years ago the thought on were different today or more violent than ever before . 20 years ago. the really kind of the stick was central press for, so let me present to they did not have non principal at all except that deal we can be principal can, has their own interest. but years ago, there was some sort of kind of dialogue with the others to see what they can do today. they are so kind of restrict your dilemma. if you check your chicken one cabinet wanted misty call question and from can from inside question,

don't just completely concentrated on what sculpus will talk about it. but when i see black america, i see part of my so i was growing, your black america spoke to me when white australia did not. those who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where wife lives mattered and i was not was like ms. newman and i wasn't new from black america. i learned how to speak back to whitefish aboriginal people of iraq war every day. we were out wanted them now with the police. were out with 2 states,

i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country. look, think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then they're all the fellow friends in daycare stories that shake the way hair, not a remark 20 years since the u. s. nissan eyes invaded afghanistan, top thing, the taliban regime. and now in the wake of the american pull act, many questions are still being asked with violence. they're still on the rise pull side to cut me off in chance for sebastian curse, quit so made allegations of embezzlement and bribery and the tough wait for facebook to is to take giant experience to suicide. she is in 6 days, billions of uses, couldn't access whatsapp and instagram either for total of 9 at.
