They are fighting from the radical policies because they see that was falling apart from Climate Change to crushing student debt. Young people are taking more forceful positions and they expect foster as well come to generation change where we attempt to understand and challenge the ideas said of mobilizing the youth around the world. This week we talk to 2 young people who are fighting Police Brutality in the us. They use different tools and strategies, but they have the same end goal, racial justice, the push button, which is a diverse in community. How does that trip your experiences . I am the daughter of immigrants, which is something that i talk about a lot my family is from jamaica. And so growing up and seeing, you know, a lot of the struggles with being 1st generation american, my mom had a really difficult time finding a school within our community. For me, my sisters to go to. And so i ended up having to travel about 40 minutes every day to get to school for the majority white neighborhood. And so i remember, as always, i said, why is it that most of my classmates are white . Whereas when i go back home, my neighbors are, are glad for emily, great communities, you know, and so certain things that i was able to fully understand that until i got older and understood the history of you as the your 24. And youve already graduated from Columbia University where you started a non profit for women of color, coal re believe. And youre also one of the youngest in turns. And a lot of Us White House youre most well known as the co founder of freedom, large new york city. Tell me a little bit more about it. I was out on the ground in brooklyn and was seeing, you know, that a lot of processors were out. And were looking for organizers. And what you saw was that there was a lot of confusion. And so we created freedom are generally safe voices. And to see how many people you know came together and sit in solidarity. And since that day weve been on the front lines ever since you dedicated your life to the fight for racial justice. Have there been any personal costs for yourself . You always have to make the decision that when the bell rings, what exactly is going to be your response . A lot of people say, you know what i have done during the so right seems man in my answer is always whatever youre doing right now. Grateful to be able to read my own organization that is black women lead. I am a force and he reckoned with on the front lines. Its not always leverage, its not always easy. Its actually very tiring. But it has been an incredible journey and will continue to be an incredible and its the you grew up in a mixed race family and you talk publicly about the discrimination that you faced in school and in your neighborhood going off. One of my earliest memories is actually the house, about 5 or 6 years old, being beaten up in a bathroom by some other kid who can call me the n word. I cant remember anything earlier than that, and that is something that still impacts. And you also grew up in orlando, florida, which is 15 minutes from san for the rectory, one bottom skills in 2012. I saw myself in trouble. You know, it was a kid who was at the city bus home bus would drop me off about a mile away from the house. And i would walk that mile every single day after school. And thats what happened, a trademark. She was stopped by George Zimmerman. And then the criminal Justice System didnt do anything to hold George Zimmerman accountable. So that was the last offering. What is the importance of data in the side for Racial Injustice in 2014 Ferguson Enterprises and service . This was one of the sort of flash point where the nation can focus on police. Finally, it became clear that there was very little data produced by the federal government to help us understand the problem. For me, that meant that 1st we need to get the data instead of 11 points. Finally, since im not quite simply visualizes people who are killed by police to the goal is to demonstrate assistance. Indeed, a nationwide problem network requires a systemic solution. The if youve been working to reduce Racial Injustice for a while now, have there been any personal costs to you . Absolutely. My work is literally compiling reading through analyzing and thinking out how to tell a story about cases of people who have been killed by the police and otherwise its hard in part because these are lives. These are people that have some deeds with families. So theyre also been physical threats as well. Right . So ive had the f b, i show up at my door, then i was starting to get threats. Messages e mails as a young black man in his work like im constantly up against institutions and system is that im much more powerful and yet you know, time and time again, im reminded that this work scope remains important. Thats why the work has samuel and chelsea. Thank you so much for being here today. The 1st question id like to ask both of you, do you think our generation is more politically active than the generations before . And how are approaches different. I disagree with the fact that were more politically active this generation. If you look at history, then you know even a civil rights movement, there were a gang leaders who are on the front lines for that as well. John lewis was 23 when hes spoken to march on washington. Martin luther king organize that. A very young age. I think what were seeing now is in the midst right of a digital age where social media so easily at everyones disposal. That is a tool kit in ways that we havent seen before, historically, to democratize information, to share resources and ultimately to build the community. And i think thats what happened this past summer with the george wide process. But i also think that that is really indicative of the power of Community Building and Coalition Building that were seeing with agend z and millennial generations. So just to make hear your saying that often ration is not more politically active, but what were doing is were using Digital Tools to tools to organize and ways the generations before. Didnt have the opportunity. Absolutely correct. Samuel, how would you respond to that . I agree wholeheartedly with that, i think you look just at the sheer number of protests that occurred since the ferguson uprising in 2014 and then again, im after the murder of george floyd and minneapolis, its a scale that this nation has never seen before. You know, we have in terms of organizing, you know, we were learning from organizers all across the world to figuring out how to use limited resources. But the access to technology is access to a phone, access to twitter that just allow us to go further to go faster, to organize more quickly and at a scale that hasnt been passed. What is digital organizing . Then . Digital organizing is how do we actually mobilize and online people skills their talent, their energy, and theyre concerned about this issue with the actions that can make the biggest difference towards ending Police Violence towards changing the systems and structures that we produce. Police towns and cities across the country. And chelsea how are using that in your work, digital organizing as how freedom march and why c came to be right. It was through a friend and i coming together and saying that there wasnt enough organized process taking place in new york city, but then its translating that into action items. So why would that be signing petitions . Whether that be getting people to come on the ground, whether that be sharing and disseminating information, which is really important, especially in the age of miss information. And so we had our online classes, we had virtual trainings, we had seminars, we had panels. And so it was through that sharing of information that ultimately led to the spread of freedom march n, y c, and us growing so rapidly during the summer. You brought up misinformation. So lets, lets touch on that a little bit. While technology and social media has made it easier for us to mobilize, but it has also led to an increase foreigner, ization in the country. How do you deal with the distrust and facts . One is radical transparency. So, you know, youre in my work, since 2014 is really has been focused on collecting, analyzing, and story telling, using data. Im to better understand the issue, police fonts across the country, where are some of the hot spots, a police file and where are the places that are actually making progress towards reducing Police Violence. And what are some of the policy and system of changes that can be effective in reducing Police Shootings . Police is a force Racial Disparities and policing and in the context of that work. And you mentioned this information. There are a set of how called of minutes and this is this information to, to meet this information, but pre dates and sort of the new round of some social media. What are these . And thats can you name . I think there are a set of mess around policing that have been around for centuries and really trace back to slavery, right . This idea of black criminality. This idea that the police are not doing anything wrong, they are merely encountering people who are inherently violent and inherently violent places, which are often cold birds, which are racist code words, that narrative is pernicious. It exists across the political spectrum. And so part of it is how do we use the tools available to us data, data visualization, organizing, policy making to effectively and directly dismantle those minutes . Because ultimately, these mishap power the history of our current policing institution was that it was initially created as a slave catching institution. And so when we talk about and doing so many years, right of systemic racism, we talked about the fact that still rights movement, truthfully never ended. It has just taken on a different form. Understanding the data is important, but also understanding that there of course is that intentionality, right . To suppress information. And there is a reason for that. Chelsea, what is the funding, the police this idea around the funding, the please. Lets be very clear. Its a spectrum. Its not a yes or no conversation, especially because the fund, the n y p d has literally been use as a sensationalizing way to really polarize the country. And in reality, when you kind of break down what the funding please really means is reallocating police resources, reallocating community resources, there is an urgent need to re imagined Public Safety and to dramatically shift and how we approach Public Safety away from the actual policing based approach. And towards investing in a Community Based approach in is not a not responding to communities would file it. So what are the new ways of imagining safety that you know, our generation are talking about is how do we protect our communities . And what does it look like . To envision a place where we take the resources that are ultimately present and deeming our young people as criminal and putting that money and that funding into resources for our education institutions and putting that money into health care. Right. And so for us to really understand this, that 1st and foremost understand the history, its to understand tracing of of the money, right in the budget, especially in new york with a lot of the work that we did this past summer around the conversations around the funding and why p d d funding the police, which really just translates to how do we make sure that were putting the resources back into our Communities Just to get a scale of how big i want people to know. One does a police much and look like in different cities. The total amount of money spent on the police, about 11000000000. 00, spelling the n y, p d h here, which is the most of any local Law Enforcement agencies in the country. But you know, city across city, Police Departments are a huge expenditure. So in places like oakland, it can be up to 40 percent of the cities general fund. Im going to spend on policing, which far eclipse is the amount of money spent on, lets say a new jobs programs. I as investments in Mental Health as a response to Mental Health crises. And the types of things that are actually far better approaches that are not violent approaches to some of the issues that police are currently responding to. Only about 4 percent of the total amount of time and officer spends about typical shift is responding to bombing crime. So again, what police are spending their resources doing is not about responding to file crime. Its not about keeping people safe from harm. It is about a whole host of other things that are not about Public Safety and actually on to your appointment, exacerbate the problem. And respond with a violence to people who are going through are going to struggles are going through. Poverty are going through homelessness, are going through Mental Health crises. This is something where we need to re imagine what the response to these issues is. But to get there, we have to debunk and dismantle dismiss that police as an institution exist to keep people safe because the data just simply doesnt support how can you fix it in the media and the media, it looks like answering the call to action that so many people have been saying, since this past summer and true, please hold for such a long time. It looks like thinking about how do we have more programs like whats being scaled and bringing a Mental Health professionals on the ground with Police Officers. It looks like perhaps completely right, not having Police Officers be the 1st response to every situation that takes place, but having the opportunity to call Health Professionals and im coming in. It looks like funding adequately our education systems, right . All of these things are very tangible. Next steps that we can take, and really what were asking for is a re imagining of how do we go about addressing the needs of our communities and doing so in a way that pushes the conversation forward. And there is nothing radical about that. Is there data then to prove that the funding to police is more effective . What we can show with the data is that there are cities that have begun to pilot alternative responses to some of the things that police traditionally have responded to. In a way, they actually are piloting a correspondent program, which is not as good as having just the Mental Health provider. But this is the Mental Health provider sort of takes the lead, the police play back up and they sort of sit back. What is interesting about the program is the eli Sheriffs Department, which ones of programming in collaboration with the county Mental Health providers. And they actually found a report last year where they reviewed the program and they admitted the Sheriffs Department admitted that they would have used for us an additional 600. 00 and more time. And they would have shop for more people if theyre having a band or Mental Health provider on the same di, escalating the situation. And thats the police saying that, right . So you can imagine the truth is probably a lot for a lot a lot further along in that chelsea spoke about how george slides that had an impact on the nation. But also when you personally, his death isnt the 1st awful case of Police Brutality in this country. So i will definitely say that george floyd, its not the 1st right. Neither is treyvon martin. But what i will say is that when we understand george floyd and his dad, so we also have to paint that within the context of what happened, right . There was a tend to make that had a lot of people on their phones. And that was the main way of you receiving information databases. And so i think it created a shockwave effect where everyone was forced to see you, i think back to 2014 and 15 in the context of the ferguson uprising. So much of that work was necessarily focused on proving that there was a systemic problem. And not because folks who had experienced it didnt know there was a stomach problem, really because there were a lot of white people who refused to believe it. And a lot of policy makers who refused to act on it. And i think when the george floyd video came out, there was also something about that video in particular the number of officers who were there. And so in the cold stare on derek chopins face, he really was indifferent to george for his life. There was something about that incident is particular, i think its a different course. There was now consensus, but there was a problem that it was systemic that it was everywhere. Somebody said, sam, i would say that we definitely did see a shift of but i would actually push back in saying that on a large scale, this was a conversation because in fact i feel like the Election Results told a completely different story. It show the fact that there was a device in nature when it came to what happened with the george . Why . Because troop is hold at the george floyd. Dad was in us. Then we should have seen a large a land slide when for buy it. And at the very least, to denounce trumps administration. Another thing that i would add is that 6 years ago with barriers and we didnt have a president that was going on twitter talking about, you know, theres problems in the streets that are organizing pro tasks and demonstrations. And, you know, we need to send the National Guard in 60 or so though we werent in the middle of the pandemic. And 6 years ago, we didnt have a president who went on a debate telling pat boys to stand by and stand back. And so the reality boys are white supremacy. Yes. So i think its important for us to understand that this past summer was in a lot of ways, a boiling of incidence and a boiling of trauma. My question to you sam is do you think of data can help bridge that divide . And ive seen that bridge that divide and i think data is a really important tool for dismantling. Been missed that why people have told themselves that make them comfortable about the status quo. And frankly, i think we have to talk about data in the context of white supremacy. Because one of the reasons that policy makers, researchers and a whole lot of folks in communities of power and privilege, respect data so much is that they actually dismissed the stories of Community Members in lieu of data. But i dont think that we should be deluded into thinking that there are so many more people who, if they just saw this thing, we think differently than reports after reports investigation after investigation. If you dont believe that there is a stomach issue in policing still, i think it is going to be extremely difficult if not impossible to convince you. I think the question is, how we mobilize the Critical Mass of people who we already have on our side to actually implement those changes . I dont think i would get implement all the transformational changes that we need. Its about how do we mobilize over a 100000000. 00 people consistently and in a way that is coordinated and directed exactly at the place has to make the biggest difference. I really want to emphasize the sam side. We cannot be deluded into believing that data alone is going to fix everything. Its not. Data needs to be paired with. Also the humanity element in understanding stories and narratives. And we also have to be intentional about what is needed within a Given Movement and how we can respond in a way that really pushes the conversation forward. Im asking you both. Are there any people movements internationally that inspired you and inspire your work from hong kong to palestine to brazil, to nigeria. Were seeing movements against state violence, encountering similar tactics with tear gas and the repression and having to problem solve in real time with not only sort of domestically or internally but internationally. If other people who have gone to some more struggles and experiencing more things in the space of police data, most countries actually collect better data on policing the United States to us and learn more about ourselves by examining some of the data internationally. So for example, we know that the United States has one of the highest rates Police Violence among sort of a wealthy western nation or that isnt unique United States, right . This is all across the americas that has been sort of a function of policing in societies that were constructed on slavery in and on the genocide of indigenous peoples. And were seeing in brazil right now. A large scale protest in response to police file 6000 people to come by police are simply near to 80 Percent People co efficient. Theres a lot of black and it isnt exceedingly hard to collect data on those cases. Im so part of so with this knowledge sharing is figuring out how to find those records, how to compile those stories so that local organizers can use that in their organizing work. Chelsea which are movements of people internationally that inspire your work. I think that there is a lot of ground that weve made within the us, but also there is a lot of conversations on a global scale that needs to be had around policing. And so i think about and sorry, because thats something that is so closely connected to the work that weve been doing on the front lines, stars as a form of police with a nigeria that um focuses on essentially trying to end robberies, right. And so they do that by targeting, particularly young people who either look likely have money, perhaps, are suspicious, etc. But really what it boils down to is profiling. And using that as a way to justify over policing, to justify killing people without any type of accountability. And so a lot of young folks have answered the call to action of saying no more. So for us, its really important to make sure that were supporting these movements as they are happening. And we are being intentional about those calls, actions that are coming out of them. Our generation is usually considered as a generation that is unwilling to work within systems. If they dont fit our demands, how do you define your work within that context and what is your end goal . So i would definitely say that yes, we are a generation that works outside of systems by with saying that we are a generation that is multifaceted and can do both. And so specifically with the work of freedom rights and why see we not only focus on protests and we also do policy work. So we have our 5 to freedom policy platform that focuses on getting cops out of classrooms. We also are on the front lines and so i think its really important to understand that ultimately it is the people that will push institutions and systems to be better. But in that same way that if we do not show up in those systems, then we create opportunities for those who do not share our assemblies and for those who ultimately are okay with the status quotes and make decisions about our lives. And so that is why we have to be intentional about showing up everywhere. I think that we are a generation that calls b. S. I think that were a generation that holds folks accountable and were also a generation that is not afraid to change. The game is the current one isnt worth a. So i think were a generation that doesnt wait for permission. I think the problems that were facing are so profound be inequities and economically, politically, socially and that. And we just cant wait like the institutions are gonna save us. The government isnt gonna save us. Theres no, you know, anointed leader who is gonna save us. This is life or death for us for our family members, for our generation. And i think we have to, we have been rising to that moment, will continue to rise to that challenge. Because ultimately, i think we do need to re imagined everything we need to, we imagine society or institutions. And we cant keep operating. I mean, i, a state is a 21st century country running on a 1700 operating system and its just, its not a system that is acceptable. Its not the system that we deserve. And i think with the tools that are disposed of the change it absolutely samuel and chelsea, thank you so much for joining me. Its been a fascinating talk. Thank you. Thank you. A new generation of young people, a more politically engage than the one that came before. Welcome to generation change a global series and attempts to challenge and understand the ideas that mobilize use around the world. In south africa, its the women who are at the full friends is a woke generation. We must never, ever get tired of developing resistance tested use. And that just ignited passions to send us and fly generation change on algae 0. The, in the global story to gauge financial crime. Banks rely on data bases for customer tracks. And it requires you to make sure that you know who that person is and you understand the risk to that person brings to the bank in terms of financial crime. Which is there, a world investigator, big financial data, and what can happen if you find yourself on a list of terrorists. The dates are based on al jazeera, the jazz minutes agents are announced as a new prime minister. As a top us official arrives in the country, the tulips, maternity thats the little ones are in jordan, this is out. Is there a lie from dont also coming up, hold on for the people that killed and attacks by on groups. And molly, im thinking of some of the security situation where since across the region we talk to us about
