trampolining was one of the activities they shared while completing their national citizen service, a many people here have formed a new friendship as a result of national citizen service? and who is your friendship with? waj, casey. ncs, for me, is a fantastic tool to bring young people together from different backgrounds and make sure that they can come together and learn from one another and develop an understanding and appreciation of difference. the appreciation of difference was in part why organised sports like football was originally developed, to take the sting out of social suspicion. this kickabout, supported by rotherham united, brings together lads from different communities. another way of creating loyalties across the lines. we need to do something that maybe brings older people and young people together from different communities and backgrounds. it is just so important. that is what we made conversation of — our differences, and it was not anything to be afraid of. we learn from each other because of those differences. and it was just a lovely experience. the challeng

civic obligation of military service and the argument that if you put on the uniforms, as frederick there istalked about, no way the nation can deny you your rights as citizens. and that has been a very powerful force, and has been a powerful force for change, especially when we think about the role of soldiers and veterans in movements for citizenship rights and social justice. same time, as you said, it has also created moments of intense repression as which is an important part of that story. and i think it is important to recognize that war is not the answer. but it has served as an important opportunity at the same time. and for women in the south during the civil war, we know the rights of citizens in some ways were suspended, when war is being waged. in the context of the civil war with the liber codes, there were new and modern rules of warfare that set out to actually protect citizens in many ways, and for black people and black women in particular, these new laws allow them to challenge some of that brutality of war. so black women who are bringing rape charges are usually women who have been raped by white union soldiers. whenlso what we see is, b

the president of the national congress with american indians, and he wrote in february, and i quote him, tribes make an array of public services available to their tribal citizens and other local residents. law enforcement, fire, e.m.s., schools and hospitals, natural resource management, these are things that tribes do on an ongoing daily basis for tribal members and for residents. all tribal governments play a critical role in ensuring the safety and health and the stability of tribal and surrounding communities. he goes on to write that congress in 1935 did not want the kind of labor strife and work stoppages that could paralyze federal, state and local governments jeopardizing federal health and safety in the process. 80 years later why it is that every other form of government in this country is treated one way and tribes another. that, my colleagues, is not right. why do tribes have to accept other determining -- others determining their workplace rules but not their counterparts? why is it the well-being of native americans on reservations who rely on these services might be placed at risk? but most importantly, why would we deny sovereignty when tribes
