intersectionality and politics is very important. because, for me, i am not looking at who can we lift up as a candidate just because they are female or because they believe that we should be having, you know, the -- they believe in reproductive justice, etc. for me, i want to lift up women not just because they are women, but because they have the right intention through fixing problems in the communities that i come from and a lot of the people i know that are usually not paid attention to come from. just to give you a little bit of story i was working for the , bernie campaign. just to disclose this. [cheers] i do not want to talk about the politics of 2016, but just to give you a sense of why i started working, for me, before i went into the campaign, i was working for the guatemalan consulate. i am not from guatemala, but i wanted to work with them because i wanted to work with children coming from central america. what was heartbreaking for me was to hear that stories of little girls who literally had to take contraceptive pill

i have to fight for that intersectionality. right now, i am addressing issues of criminal justice reform. what i am appreciating increasingly in america is that what we do in america is do not appreciate that race and poverty and criminal injustice are all intersected. we look at taking on criminal justice reform as though it is just an experience tied to, perhaps, poverty. 80% of people incarcerated are poor. 60% of people incarcerated are latino and black. if we address criminal justice reform only through let's look at what is happening in the court systems, but not what is happening in black or latino communities, and look at how people do not have access to jobs, do not have access to education, people of color, then we miss the mark. that is why we have to focus on intersection of all of these things. the last point -- you have to always remember structural powers that be want to keep things segmented. if we are over here focusing on class, then we are not reshooting the race undercurrent. if we focus on gender alone, we

i want to continue this discussion, because i -- especially where intersectionality is concerned, i always feel that that's been a weakness in the community and really recognizing and supporting work that actually stresses that. >> right. i think if we look at the numbers of who's experiencing the hate crimes, i think that we'll see that it's a group of folks that have -- whether it's their immigration status, whether it's there socioeconomic status, whether it's where they live that they're experiencing it at higher volumes, and they may not feel comfortable going into some of the higher functioning organizations that have the resources to support them. so it's just something for us to think about. and we will continue to do some of the work around the citywide public education campaigns. i shared with you some of the curriculum that we've developed. i also wanted to share some of the -- this is from one of the schools that we were working with, roof ttop, so again, not maybe a school that we would immediately identify, but they asked for support to deal with equity in these issues largel

chuck is driving you see the stop sign ahead you have to make sure you don't slide through the intersectionmentads look clear they are popping up all over the map. >> hundreds of senior citizens had to face blowing snow and bitter cold when fire broke out at their highrise in atlantic city. john rawlinss live in somers points with a look at the conditions and new details on the help for fire victims. >> reporter: the fire victims there's a lot of of them, that 16 story buildings has 400-plus units in it. a lot of people displaced. the rest of the shore folks are snug in their homes with power that's a good thing. if they venture out today they will see a lot of snow. secondary roads side roads look like this, they are plowed but snow covered, they are passable but slow going is the best way to approach that. roads that's rou 9. they need plowed and are in good area, somers points and ocean schools are closed today. some bus openings.meanwhile, back in at rities have to grapple with the aftermath of the fire that occurred 6:00 p.m. last night. >> they are sending us over place closed down becaus

it's a great story about intersectionality and when you address climate you can address other issues. so with this round of funding, we have five grants we will be giving out. the other thing you should know about the carbon fund, particularly the greening projects, the bulk of the funding has to go for capital. right so it has to go for trees or pavement removal or plants so a lot of the projects rely on volunteers. very small grassroots organizations. hopefully they'll be able to talk with the projects but i want it give a hand to all the people who did the marathon meeting with us tonight. anyway, citizen field will be working on vernal heights and planting trees in the vernal cuts of vernal heights. friends of the urban forest will do sidewalk planting and literacy for environmental justice will row move -- remove pavement at candle stick point and $30,000 to renovate a garden site in bay view hunters point and the stairs near buena vista park and green stairs from the top of vernal heights down to the bus stop and alemany farmer's market and a part that needs to be grind and have

we have serl other groups based on racial and other identities, and we find in those a lot of intersectionality. we'll find one board is interesting in partnering with one of the other community boards, and so we'll being the liaison that fosters the relation between those communities. in addition to that, we have had a big campaign of reaching out to the consul generals in our city and signing memorandums of understanding within those communities to assist both victims of hate crimes, domestic violence and human trafficking, crimes that we feel particularly -- people that may be immigrants or visiting this country may have even less comfort inn talking to us or the police department, so we work with the consul generals to sign those memorandums with their home country and really making sure that they're aware -- the laufrt supports but maybe more importantly the victim services supports that we can offer people in those situations, so we do a lot of work in that community in speaking at events to make sure we're reaching more deeply into the community. and then, i want to spend some time talki

so it's something that needs to with erjected intersectionality, i agree, with race, class and gender. hese things are imperative to really understand the complexity of the human being and how they move throughout the world. other reason i think it's important is because this category of student is kind of monolithe. we think about student activism or worker. ways to provide nuance on working class students poor industrial workers. this gives us more complexity and a richness to the story that be realized without it. from hink people speak their locations and is antanding what that is important beginning. nd i think it's also true that many times the economic '60s is erasedthe from martin luther king jr.'s and we forget all these moment, ese important you know. or on the other side, things economic attack by the white citizens councils across the south. but, part of what is of interest the ways in which these locations people acquire a voice. particularly people who aren't supposed to have a voice. orkers aren't supposed to say things. they're not supposed to express things. they're n

she also talked about intersectionality and talked about the significance of being the first black woman to receive this award. she remembered seeing sydney poitier become the first black man to win a golden globe back in '63. she talked about recy taylor. that's really important. recy was a young black woman who in 1944 was gang raped by six white men, and two grand juries failed to bring indictments against them, which means they were never charged even they admitted they had done it. and she died ten days ago. oprah winfrey really gave recy taylor that platform and really moved the entire room to tears. and i would imagine a lot of people at home as well. >> yeah, incredible. and the golden globes were the first major awards show to go to air since the harassment and sexual misconduct allegations shook hollywood to its core. and we saw significant projects win big, three billboards, lady bird, big little lie, the ha handmaid's tale and others. what stood out and what will everyone be talking about in the hours ahead, do you think? >> that is what was really interesting. you saw all of

and the women that make up the #time'sup movement are young, smart, understand intntersection intersectionalitythis i is an going away.y. it is the titipping point. we're living ththrough a historc moment now. amy: how important his hollywood in shaping views? the place where you have lived so much of your life. >> frankly, i don't think so much. i don't think hollywood frames the news so much. i think, unfortunately, corporations more and more are framing the news. i'm working with restaurant opportunities united in michigan a lot on the ground. and what scares me as i travel through michigan, the degree to which average people are not getting news. stations, the radio stations are being bought up by sinclair and others. it is really scary. i think that corporations are determining what people here, there are some exceptions obviously -- youou, msnbc at nit , and others -- but that is why it is so impmportant that people are on the ground talking to people door-to-door, working within real organizations that have experience of doing this kind of door-to-door work. because what have we learned?

so it's something that needs to with erjected intersectionality, i agree, with race, class and gender. hese things are imperative to really understand the complexity of the human being and how they move throughout the world. other reason i think it's important is because this category of student is kind of monolithe. we think about student activism or worker. ways to provide nuance on working class students poor industrial workers. this gives us more complexity and a richness to the story that be realized without it. from hink people speak their locations and is antanding what that is important beginning. nd i think it's also true that many times the economic '60s is erasedthe from martin luther king jr.'s and we forget all these moment, ese important you know. or on the other side, things economic attack by the white citizens councils across the south. but, part of what is of interest the ways in which these locations people acquire a voice. particularly people who aren't supposed to have a voice. orkers aren't supposed to say things. they're not supposed to express things. they're n

king said we must have intersectionalism we call it now.hat we must fight shoulder to shoulder and we must have allies. the fact of the matter is, everybody that was black did not march in the '60s and everybody that was white was not on the other side. we had allies that died to get us the right to vote and we had some blacks that never came out of their house. i meet people everywhere now, they're over 75, swear they march marched. we never had a million man march till '95. i can't get through the airport without people telling me they voted for me for president. if they had, if they had, i would have been on my second term when obama won the white house. but there's one sister that has always been in the trenches, never missed a fight for rights for anyone, never ever missed standing up, even if the members of her union didn't understand it. and she is still fired up. shoos he a still on the front line. she exemplifies the spirit of dr. king in her very body and every molecule of her body, and we salute her in this 50th year because she

social structures and infrastructures in schools and communities that are pushing away from the intersectionalityluding all of us. but they're thinking that because you're black and a woman we are trying to create a system that supports you, but they're not thinking of that point of intersection between the two where i'm a mix of both. we need to include me in both of those realities and not just one or the other. >> what about your friends in terms of this racial harmony now? >> i have a very diverse group of friends. and i feel like in school we try to be open with each other about whether or not we feel like we -- someone made a joke that was not appropriate or we feel like we were saying something that was not an educated response to a question. which i know makes us sound like we're really p.c., whatever, like this. we have a lot of fun together. we try to keep it loose because not every conversation is going to have perfect knowledge with things that we say. we want to always stay educated on the things that are happening in our community and the communities that surround us. >> what are so

intersection analogy -- intersectionality is a huge part of who we are as an american people, flowingow they support the disability community, how making your world accessible benefits us all. we are strongly encouraging everyone to support bills that healthy -- that supports the disability community, including bill that helps federal rights lost for those with disabilities. senator kaine and those here, please help move this bill forward. i would ask you all to consciously and openly support the disability community. do not forget that every, single person here is in a position of power. we all came together last year and we are all here this year. we have defined a moment in history. voice, andwer, your help us move forward, a community of all women of all different identities. get out and vote. thank you all very much.
