3:31 pm
it is really a grassroots to involve the people who are most impacted as well. i did want to say that some of the key actions requested and i am not going did read the long list but there are key important ones, senior and people with disabilities both, very, very strongly today with the clear voice. they will be requested to provide an analysis of the funding required and how much money does it take to feed people. and also the policy needed to insurance, the adults and are served in 30 days and in an emergency in two to five days in a report back by 2014, and another recommendation, to the hsa, the department of human services, and the housing and homeless division, especially in partnership with the city's homeless providers we are requesting that by march of 2014 that they determine the extra cost of providing meals
3:32 pm

3:55 pm
have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of years. i use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. a lot of the work is content- based, has a strong narrative. the dancers have more of a theatrical feel. i think we are best known for our specific work. in the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues that affect us and are related to the african-american experience, here in the united states. i had heard of marcus shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. we were brought together by the equal justice society specifically for this project.

3:57 pm
people talk a lot about noise -- very noisy in prisons. that is interesting to me. looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here? [singing] i think both of us really believe the death penalty is wrong, and is flawed for many reasons. the list is as long as my arm -- about several others.
