Didnt have the same kind of talking points which they normally have had they couldnt just show us down. The river 3 cheers a chameleon when they see me. So i dont know form to talk to you or the powerful seeing that and seeing that young people can really affect that really just showed me that across issues across spaces across the nation we need young people to be able to stand up and actually make their voices heard because they have an impact and they have a real measurable. As a go. This is. Really. Going to be used a good thing. As if. I. Was the father big brother there on the figure that they used to voice that they might not be getting in but one like the other kids and the of those. Acrobat ive. Spent a lot of a lot of my time with the young people whether its taken to go ego on the play basketball the concert my house they play games they also i educate them and you know bring them together around issues that are affecting them in their community. Which i dont know how were going to take to speak at one of these events to run on these events to be a father marges and just showing them that they are capable of. Starting their own movement. How. Much. Investigation. Their station are they can say. Theyre definitely connected its all sides of the same coin i think in order for you to see real change there it takes building that relationship where there are levels of relationship that they have to occur where youre trying to make make real change so its one thing for us. To be on the ground be grassroots be on the field but theres no mandate thats helping us to do those things so i think having the right people who have those connections you need any you need thats all together you need folks who actually in the field who are living this on every day this is trying to make a difference and the folks who are able to reach those in the power to have the power would so write laws to give resources to send funds to these committees that. Good afternoon everybody so before we get started on the road notice and how the young people behind me i want to read table crossed amounts of words on it and just to show that represents either a power for. A loved one that they lost to gun violence while that while the fight. 2 year old dk lydias berry was kill mazed 152600 she was my friend so on and so year old edward james was killed on april 15th 2009 saying he was my brother. 9 to 0 dont want to johnson was killed on such summerfield 28 c. It was my brother. Losing dominance it was a breaking point. For me he was a young person we lost him because my city. I didnt know how to move forward but the young people or resilient they knew he was someone who wanted to make a difference and they didnt let that death go and vague. This one baby. So. Hes here with me i guess you dont. Yeah. Yeah i get it and mentally prepare myself. Mentally really prepare myself because you know as you see and like i here and you know. They. Sit up and wait on them you know that i can hear oh mom ma you know i can hear them a window called a muse. To deal with. The memories but i do say still here with me. As happy strong to get through the day because i can come to sit down and talk to maybe not in physical form. Spiritually. Alison who had to make me happy dont wear a bad mood. Go School Graduate be do just a resume that has everything. So. Carried away from. Yes. Character is perfect. No sir thank you thats so. Whoa. This bench is one of thousands and thousands of benches of thousands and thousands of years some bench as foam logs or ledges of slate or edges straight from manufacturers of all kinds and where people come to convene all remember and get a few system settle rest reset. This bench is somewhere on the eastern seaboard of the United States and there. Is a bench and walked by every day and theyre asked. To one day action in and i hear the most beautiful old poetry ever heard my life. Thats right thats today over 72019. I saw the wall street journal on a bench left behind by an investment banker. At night a woman experiencing homelessness used the news as her pillow in a blanket. She spread the business tax sections across her legs politics across her breasts. She adjusted her head on life in the arts and used the bench itself as a bed sized for a queen. I saw full life living death her dying breath alive in her chest. An open door to. The human warning where. A body left behind. An untold obituary. A journal. And unrecorded life. On a bench. See the map. You see where we are. There. Is a rescue mission. Set now r. C. M. P. Jones 6 here. Ready. Were going to come up on the back of it right now. Count the floors count 1234 were on the 4th floor which one you think is our room. Over there. Yes theres a saying. I think theyre on the cheap bus and then we went through all the countries lets ideas theyre right lets go through this country he said if we give them everything slipped into fast. Leave this country. This is what we dont understand how we are in such a country. Into the ones at the same time. It was a monumental. Similar symbol. Because if you feel if the middle of on board not that got. The phone about the food stamp with the plane. Would come back to the 3 story you have to see. The end of the best. If you move. Move move you. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race on all sides here in Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Ok were almost there youre a member this. Area where i love is that the area. Where it is. So this is where we used to live at the Union Rescue Mission this is the front door you know we stayed here 8 months. At 1st there were so many families women and children here that we stayed in the day room which is basically like a large dining room large cafeteria style setting one only im sure ours it looks like a gymnasium. Its we had air mattresses and slept on the floor for the 1st couple of months or so from september until december and then in december we were placed into a room and because my daughter was with me and not my side it was just me and one child i was sharing a room with 4 other mothers who all had one child with them and thats mine. I did meet jackie or both of us go. Every afternoon. This is about 75 miles 80 miles from our home but the longest distance is when we do venice sunset on monaco that takes at least an hour and 45 minutes to get there. We do this 5 nights of the monday through friday. Skate pro and dot com and in st paul you were wednesday in South Central l. A. And spin venice and santa monica. Is again down the civic center in. Union station in new. Delhi and we have designed a program. That is to serve them vietnam of they are going to ask them any questions dont judge them thats muddy waters and how they ended up being on the street its not our job to judge them. On what he likes to be a speed sleeping on the payments with air traffic running that own in a totally unsanitary conditions thats nobodys wish to be that way. And. Theres a 1000000 reasons why people become homeless its not how. Mental illness and its not always drug addiction yes those are 2. I think those are 2 reasons that have a really negative connotation so its easy to say only crazy people become homeless it is easy to say only attics and drug users become homeless thats never going to happen to me and my family but the truth is in the United States most people are a paycheck or 2 away their their one unpaid credit card away you know their one payday loan away. Their one unexpected pregnancy away their one job loss away there are so many reasons why you could end up homeless and unable to pay your bills and unable to keep a roof over your head in your familys head. Lots of people leave the foster care system and have nowhere to go you turn 18 years old and you are out thats it you go from having no parents and just a foster family to being on the street all the sudden youre 18 its like youre an adult figure it out. When youre living on the street when you are unsheltered person when you have nowhere else to go you have nothing to look forward to. I really think that i can understand how easy it must be to slip into a drug use and then fall into addiction because if youve just got nothing else good going on in your day and you need something to make you feel good. I can imagine that theres. You know. I cant imagine that much else is going to make you feel good at that point when youve hit rock bottom its like. It is what it is i dont know so. And then immigrant coming from india it was where he when he heard forgive me because ive seen power deal with the. Word bothered me in here to see these Homeless People who are raised here on here such as wealthy country of the world the wealthiest country in the world. And yet these people are going through trash cans. For survival. I am right that its not seconds and. We have a program or she and i mean weve used the big food cart meals to the homeless i mean i would say on the street oh last century. On the number 8. 152200 meals a night. We make it a point and we dont have them form a line to give somebody comes to the truck following those in the line in my opinion is kind of. Eat you. Thats not the idea that we started we wanted to give dignity is to be the. Father set up a table and in this water on the way we came to. Check out. And told the wall and gives as well as. The seed of something i would like to see the wall and here is the seed more than were dead give me. With enough and. All your stuff. Done again we might be passing on by a few votes worked out but we need all of them donations of will be sent into the its. In. The moment we are what you get is an experience of compassion that confession cannot be parked compassion can only be expedient. And you dont want anyone. Thats priceless. I was basically faced with that situation where the a part manager knew i didnt have any way of paying in mediately. But when i told her i was going to start working and i had family that would cover the rent until then it didnt matter to her she said. That she knew i was going to go back to him that shed seen it happen hundreds of times before where. Women claim that theyre being abuse. And then they run right back to the man that theyre alleging abuse against and she didnt want to deal with that trauma and she thought it was better if i just moved out. The manager gave me a deadline to leave before she filed the eviction people work and so i left. Because i knew it was just going to be that much harder to find an apartment if i had an eviction on my record but the day that i left the apartment. I really i did not have anywhere to go. I had a little bit of money from my aunt and so i went and a hotel room at langley. And i was staying in hotel rooms by myself or like if i didnt have enough money i would sleep in my car. And i would try to. Like. Like i had packed up and put everything into storage but i didnt really know how hes going to pay this storage bill and how many going to pay. You know to keep the kids os in their toys and things like that and so i started selling things out of a storage unit to keep the storage unit and then going and selling blood. I was working. Doing online transcription. So that was piece rate it was very very small sums of money i might work all day and make you know 15. 00 i had never been on welfare before i had never been on assistance. Ive had unemployment when i had lost jobs in the past but i had never gotten food stamps i had never gotten any. And to go from. Having had a job since i was 13 years old to being in a motel wondering how im going to get 40. 00 to find somewhere for me and my kids to sleep it was like an impossible momentous i just had no comprehension of how do i get to a homeless shelter. So that whole process was from may 15th of 2017th a route into Domestic Violence shelter was alive or. So all those months were in motel rooms or sleeping with all. Of. It because. Of this commercial moment allowed. To this day for the pro who should commission. Shoot on disc in them. Should go along. Leachate mom. You know im going to go so said im not going to much to. Just back in the end. Of. Human history has always seen continuous war opensource but in recent years it seems to have become more intense the platforming is no common practice and public scrutiny of minute feature where do we all stand on the battlefield of belief. Yet those i say. I think theyre on the cheap. And then we went through all the countries lets idea is really their right to call us compass he said if we give them everything to do the best. Thing to. This country. This is what we dont understand how we are in such contracts. Let us into the mines at the same time. Noticing how come into. The saloon to run up a similar simple jolly good why do you need one leg because if you feel if the menards of on board not that god can we believe again with the fall of the couple with the plane. Would come back to the place story you have to see. The best. If you move. The latest headlines on the weeks top stories on our british form. On the makers of russia. Cooperate to find. Effectiveness of a center thats ready to produce the russian. Remind me of a scene is being fulfilled here in. This particular line when she says the house and. I. Also in the program over 100 people arrested in a protest against the new security bill critics say the legislation will make it harder to prosecute
