9:45 am
delmonte. i keep all right, disliked these i would say is keen motivating. gimme a passionate, remember what, what am i going? a long doing a full and the reason why i'm doing it when we load them on to it was a reason for us. a pain guy here is a, be the feet and the like. that it gave us a fire that we need and a passion as why we are actually i was lucky, the harbor i had a broken heart is because everybody go to heartbreaks and days of other such as i don't. lemme hard break, break me. i where my heartbreak now are wearing and i strengthen it now it is, and i look at and i overcoming them me last night. 19 year old delmonte johnson was just outside his brothers basketball practice near euclid and 86th street. when cbd says someone inside, a tan colored vehicle fatally shot him in the chest and stomach. it's not fair that so many lack of round his have to worry about being oh, way to school. i was the way home from school to school. he'll believe we loses who
9:46 am
many about every time you turn around mom of his cry, his mamma is cry, but a baby. johnson's family says he was putting together a fundraiser to help children go to christian camp and worked with advocacy group, good kids, matt city, helping to stop the violence that killed him. the kids, my city was created to keep the urban narrative alive, to talking about violence and like of what do we mean for us to be able to drive and growth mm with there's no one solution to the issue. so just trying to create new new laws isn't gonna stop us from, you know, from filling what, what we're going to guess would have to violence,
9:47 am
sherwood but we don't the training or 3rd damage. so actually we got about maybe 2025 kids. that would be there are. so we're going to do the ice breaker. mm. in the class, once i gather that during the rest of the same. mm. my name is carla pittman. i'm the co founder of the kids, my city angola, born and raised kava all my life. the part is what we're doing it today is basically in the quote of the neighborhood that we come from. we spent a lot of violence, a lot of students happening sometimes. unfortunately, young people are around to see those same on people are victims or things happen. mm. s o b
9:48 am
a k, not community. because a lot of times we ought to 1st find that i say ambulance out of 1st responders, what a lot of times a friend or family member, brother, sister, is there was something tragic happens and what are you doing that situation? so my 1st question is how long do you think and this will take to get sort of thing that i had the day i thought he's bigger i was guy answer this, is that okay, so the estimate around chance went bad at 30 minutes. i know how much blood is in a human body a. okay, so is that $4.00 lead us, which is about one m c a visually, this tool pops to lead a pops. so how long do think it takes 1st, the bleed up? ok, why do i have been asking some ladies in the back?
9:49 am
yeah. can guess that can be wrong is ok. ok and video yet answer it or i so on average it takes the present dust 7 minutes of lead up depending on where they got hit a water was hit, it can take one men. so if it takes the and less 2530 minutes input dominy black or brown communities and it's actually human being 7 minutes of lead out by the time they get that they already bled out to death. so this trend is important cuz it says west like that we need are people that are round us to be or how somebody stays in my life is not guarantee that you can say that price is like, but for you doing something for you trying to defeat him, i've lost a lot of people in my life and i see father know this friend a couple years ago. i can say so my life was i seen a lot of people killed the fun. like collier said, what does that person is hit the clock is ticking. there are ready for back to the oppressive you have to perform sleep, you are. all right,
9:50 am
so when you i a risk nurse to says you will be, look underneath your pinky, you can look underneath did thumb. if this underneath your neck is underneath your chem ball. and if you move down with the light dania, throw you for them. if they're a little lower behind me, you can check is a different place because sometimes of the risk is a hard spot to find the path. after you find the path one start perform in the compression just recently had a death in april 15th, my brother edward passed away. he was sat in front of the house, boys don't have names and we can't pick and choose, you know, just gotta learn how to deal with the situation. i know a lot of people still like it will get better. he is in a really doesn't you just you, you learn how to do the situation better each and every day. the people have lost the gown, violence. i how we can count on of my hands and war. so
9:51 am
it will be a laugh from your name. people of law school from various ages as of to like, 7 to like 35, you know i've lost people back to back in the same year. and in something now it is like, i just expect the lows on lighting. and i just, you know, i try to keep my head up, you know, and just hope for the best, but it's kind of just now become a norm with paul. so he ok, so he on conscious he does have a post. and the next thing you do is start pumping with what is blood all over it in 1st ad? no, it's not normal. like, you know, the head than because is not supposed to be like when you hear gun shots, you're supposed to be scared. not, you're supposed to want to call the cops,
9:52 am
you know, when someone dies is, is supposed to be very hard breaking. but, and wound from the lab work bay, like we're going to size the kids, they'll play like a so player side. we still in spanish and join our time, you know, and it's because they just normalized like it had been so often that people use it as if like, oh i just got a script funny like it was just nothing. oh, i heard those this joke. someone told one time, they said that chicago is the only place where a young person can be dodging bullets on the way to school and still get mark tardy and get a detention when they get to school for being late as finding what it was so. so it was so serious, like, it wasn't like a ha ha funny. it was like a that's messed up because i believe it kind of thing and i get to school and, and don't even talk about what happened on the way there. so i think that it's,
9:53 am
it's a skill that coping mechanism is a skill understanding how these things are so serious and, and just just being able to walk through everyday like never happen. i, there's so much, never mind can go through before i even make it to school in the morning. we also somebody to talk about with what we don't have that we don't have a word. yeah. but we do have the resolution. oh and then i have with jamie, so we can use that got miles effects every minority population, every vulnerable population in america, and because of that intersection and how, how much it affect many different people and somebody, groups of people who've been able to build a really strong coalition and also reach out to all of those young people to recognize that one day they inevitably will become impacted by gun violence and
9:54 am
just violence. and violence is systemic. you know, issues at stomach racism, sexism, it's about, you know, the populace is about voting rights. it's about l g b t q, right? it's about the right to walk down the street and walk to class and not have to be afraid of a stray bullet hitting you and killing you, or your friend or your brother. whoever is the right to have a future. hey, me get a minute. you said you be coming, you're going into the meeting at 2. i'll give you a text like a month with the fact that we're kids is our biggest strength and our biggest weakness.
9:55 am
definitely the fact that we are young people and that we do have such a strong moral compass and feel things so fiercely and so quickly and act on it, we're not afraid to speak up. has always been our strongest, has always been a thing that has made us different. we're not afraid to take those strong chances into call people out here in d. c. we have students going to congress literally every single day and lobby is members of congress. like we got 10 minutes. mm hm. when i started, i had death threats. when i started, i had people, you know, pushing me down. the thing i didn't do at that point was stop, i continue to push forward. i got my friends together and we went back, i got more friends together. we went back again. and that's what it takes. it takes the realization that these adults, these people who are older than me don't know it,
9:56 am
they don't know what's going on because what's going on right now is an okay. and then the ones that a reason that it's still this way, ah oh, the way of life of rain is leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. i'm with women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders. rather than with with, however, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a house wife could secure regular employment status. it's in the fall semester with
9:58 am
dares sinks we dare to ask oh, but years ago the taliban were different today or more violent than ever before. 20 years ago, the really kind of to stick with central press for so parked to they did not have non principal at all except that the region is 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 limited checked up your chicken while cabinet
9:59 am
from one distinct fall question. and from, from inside my studio, just completely concentrated on west golf, this will talk about it. but when i see black america, i see part of myself, when i was growing, young, black americans spoke to me when white estrada did not have those 2 side. black lives matter is a movement, we are importing from america. know nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where white lives mattered. and i was not wise. like ms. newman and i wasn't known from black america. i learned how to speak back to whiteness. aboriginal 0 more, every die out with the police were out with. she states.
10:00 am
i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are other schiller friends in daycare for the stories that shaped the week from alta international women, 20 years since the u. s. and allies invaded afghanistan, toppling the taliban regime. and now in the wake of the pentagon, pull out men, the question is still being asked with violence. the continuing to re rampant gas prices, scaling down a bit in europe after russia have pledged to boost supplies in the week. but the move hasn't stop us politicians from blaming moscow for the crisis had austria's leaders, sebastian cuts quit so made allegations of embezzlement and bribery.
