Hoping to have a conversation about the future of our movement. As i said at the beginning, we have been an incredible initiative, an incredible movement, an Incredible Community of people for 15 years now. We have achieved a tremendous amount. And one of the things that i think im hearing as i go around and talk to people is gosh, weve achieved all of this and got this incredible momentum and these resources and were perhaps positioned in way today that we have never been positioned before to take advantage of the opportunities that are out there, the hard challenges in front of us, and the imperative to bring more people into our movement to make it the thing we want it to be. And how do we go about doing this . What gets us moving in the same direction together or at least sets out a direction in which we can all bring our unique resources, capacity, and skills in the contexts and cultures in which we work wom . What is the next mountain we want to climb . Its not that were done yet

It has worked, allowed successful implementation of crucial projects and builds trust.

We are treed explore how the mechanism can be expanded to monitor the private Construction Program in gaza. Mr. President , the engagement of the community will be indispense toible help gaza back on its feet.

California and the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Youre fortunate in utah to have a strong base of conservativism. We do not have that in california. I was wondering, for republicans and conservatives like us, can you comment on how we might able to regain the state and bring it back to the reagan days . As to the second question, i am only two states away, so i am happy to provide you with some conservative representation in washington. It turns out that your two senators are not conservative. I dont know if you knew that. [laughter] we do occasionally agree on things. I think it leaves not only me, but also the rest of us wondering if something has gone terribly wrong when we vote on the same thing. I think it relates back to the question that we asked a minute ago. The fact we have to do a better job explaining not just what we are against, there is always a place for that, but what we are for. Just as importantly, why we are for it. We are not just about tearing do
That will be signed by the president , so that will be underway. Two, we just signed a bill on transportation. In l. A. , we have seen major rojects Going Forward. The purple line is moving west toward the ocean. We were able to secure funding that will help us move forward with that project, that is costing several billion dollars. We secured close to 800 million in federal loan moneys. Thats about 2 billion to help extend that subway line to the west. We recently secured about two thirds of a billion dollars for what is being called the regional connector line owntown. If you try to travel mass transit downtown on the trains and subways, you often have to get off one to get on another. With the regional connector, it will be a seamless trip. It will be a lot more convenient for people who want to use mass transit to get around.
