And what happened to uh, i ended up doing that, dont say to make it simple. A 1000000 t, its a place where when it comes to it doesnt have a place to go for scrubbing genes well collecting sash so. So that take on on that ive got to get somebody to know your rapper. And thats the, what was the transition like from, you know, being on that im tired of working that to be in office and doing what you do now. So when was the dumbest, it tells us troops up. So even people are calling me that the new companies that up for us, or they gave me some of that a day before. So i know, and i, this is when the end of that think it was very popping up. Whats going on with the band or obviously getting the place some people didnt need to find the stop this thinks it up, but we need to find that you need to find that. Okay, so they came down the phone to me. Im just trying to do something with that, try to nanny, came up with that after i did for them that i was sitting on it. Thats where the transitions. Let me put that down since that in getting on the of the how did working on his on site and its his eyes. Whenever that obviously if you feel like youre popular is doing a place where people dont appreciate to dont have a voice that nobody cares that much fully. Well, so initially, for me, it was like, uh, i mean i was away. Im fixing a lot of personal devices when, if im sick, nobody guess if i, if i have a good solid, nobody can this nobody to share what, what they have those performing for their buds video in the mornings. Youll find them on just there. So i was seeing them as the, as the reload in the front of the car to see the heat because the country goes. So i wanted to talk to you via larry. Youve done quite a few songs about extrajudicial cleanings and the police know who can and people who live had last 3 friends. Our in our center done the site because of its security. Some kidding. They were beaten after the storm. A phone was so month it was, i was hungry and so thats the way i amy i started becoming moving back to social issues on the not anything that we are the one the one that i do. Were not, were not out dying to, to bump into you when. And theres also an Organization Called that you can. Yeah. Which you work in and you do these projects with young people. Can you tell me that that what you do with them . Ok, so of course that or does it is a Community Based organization that works with kids from the age of 5 to 17, to ensure that theyre safe and easy. So that dont end up day society special vices. Hes coming the dates, we to use a class days, drama, class this point. See, we play games, it keeps forget the be a monday screwed into find the 100 plus the new talents. Of course the, and someone is, he does the most often and then even any of that to meet the going theory, you corresponded them. Its our social justice center, which is it talk to the old forms of structural vine. And can you explain a bit about what made you want to start the organization . I was born in my body and i grew up in my address for this one biggest fly mean can now i love my, that is, you know, i was a, have you tried . And when i became an adult is when i could see now the violence that the people in my community while going through the cold. Lets see the Police Brutality. The police came in, the law of clean water. So growing up in mother is like growing up in a village, but Everybody Knows everybody. So when something happens to one of us really seen it. So big feelings in particular too much. It was this too much. So to challenge that, we formed my body social justice sensor and were there any person experiences that you live in . Sorry, that made you want to start the organization . Yes, um, my own brother was killed by a police in to a 7 to void for selection violence inc. Hannah. And that with a lot of other young people that have grown up sleep being killed. And this is not just my theory, ellen, this is a story of many young people in the joy to have a friend, a cousin, a brother, a neighbor that was killed by police the winter when no outside them. Its our research assistance. I can you tell me a bit about the why fi g day today . It every day receive cases from the community on different areas that could be a lucky one to bring justice to the community and was most new is this case is open this mortality of people who have been arrested with not enough reason, i guess is of the end of this violence, but we have a community engagements, like watching film planting, trees, Community Cleanup meetings have been once rationed. And every time we meet a, this sensor, we have to sing because the sun, an energy that comes when we things together and to just i just on to continue watching this class of speaking justice and dignity for our people. The, i wanted to ask you about the time in 2020, when you were a pretest against Police Brutality and you resisted arrest from 3 of Police Offices. And there was a huge reaction because the video of this happening went viral and lots of people. So read how was that experience you . Were you surprised by the reaction to the car . Yes, i was surprised that he even went viral. I didnt know it was going to be that impossible. That i im a woman that was able to stand up for myself. Made the young man in my could me see more emboldened to sign up for themselves in mid and feeling more helpful. I also have to say that at that very moment is the pain of every month i have walked with in thinking, just as for the sun, every case i have documented every Single Person i have seen lives that lives in my community. I gave me this trend to say that this was enough and this feeling how much are still the so 10 dash, thank you so much for being here today. When we think about the issues that are facing young people, its interesting that 75 percent of the people in can you out under the age of 35. 00, but only 40 percent of youth at registered to vote in the recent elections. Why do you think it is that so few people are registered to vote, im hearing can yet under the age of 35, i think it was a one of some of these, this sense from the people from the 8000000. 00 tenants who did not come out towards i think they was saying that they do not want to be a part of this. They wanted a system that works for them. And on the other hand, i think one thing is important because its the only way we are going to put someone who could walk for us. But i think it was very loud that they would so tired of this system of oppression. And what do you think this, how did you feel about the election and how did young people that, you know, speak about the election . Remember before left, so new. I mean, we were in a crisis of course the 19. And of course, even the death im into uh, previously there one not even doing a lot of the people. Yeah. They were just, uh, making the people just off i lot because the there was not a lot of coffee. Was people people not going to job. So when it comes to people now being told is devoted, they were like, and on the same government, they didnt gamble with us. Why are they getting now . They dont respect the voices. They dont hear what they say, but the one task to do what they see and thats, thats how we feel like its what is not possible. It doesnt change anything. The fullest. I feel that sense of accuracy towards the system. I do because women void, see, says the country, good independence with little change, look at the community to where i come from. Its still the same poverty from before. So people are beginning to relate with, i mean, why do i even go towards it doesnt change my life in any way. How did you bring about change if you withdrawal from the system is that exists now . How can you amplify the issues that matches he mice . I think we need another tentative system that sense as people at the very call of the issues we have trying to address how we need to bring about changes, organize ourselves as the youth. And advocate with one voice as one girl about the issues thats much i to us. I feel like we shouldnt take a box it and watch and complain and say this system doesnt work for us. These people are caught up. Its, can we actively organize against that system together . I know that you both care about extrajudicial headings in kenya, around the world. They were conversations around Police Brutality, and thats at the hands of the police. Could you explain to me what it is like in kenya in regards to the extra 2 additional cleanings, the medical step in the hashtag blacklist martha. Uh, i think it, it, it might the most in can because uh, personally ive looked 20 plus friends. Most of them was killed by police and well just this. And initially this is just specific on the dental. So if you imagine how many happens each end every day and my dad and keep that in, in, in, in that the streets. So its quite a very, very big issue that hasnt been happening and we havent been getting that solution. And wondering how would you explain it . Now, as im british colony, when we go to independence, the Police Service that was serving the Colonial Government did the change. When hes done work and as i became president ok now, he continued with the same police force that the Colonial Government was using in their full fussing on. Thats the practices that they told me they would cost up on the people to present the chance, leaving and in for most instruments. And when judge floyd was killed by 10 year old, the us and miles to the non community. And when we applied the protest to this last day, i, sol canyons sol invested in calculating methods of it, so you just have to live in the country. Usually we will hold our demos, the name, foremost settlements. I think doug slater hills can connect said this trouble in the us and us from without hand came out in the large numbers to say we demand that into ex, any additional documents. So Police Offices of justified 72 percent of the kennings that have happened alleging that they were result of anti crime operations. And i wanted to ask within the communities, is that a slight tension that just some people maybe not have sympathy when somebody who was committing a crime dies at the hands of the police and how do you respond to that . Yes, that happens. But i think its um, we live in a country that prides itself in upholding visual zillow. What do we have . Well, lets say is, if someone has been found doing something wrong, can we have a little before not can we have them arrested and taken to court and prosecuted instead of the police this id to be the judge and the jury, and theyve vacation now because this is what happens most of the time. And this is a crime not just in can no, but everyone else. I do not think police have a right to take away anybodys life when they is a law that can be followed. For me, the Biggest Issue has been the quality. They are not treating people the same. Like we have been having news like a, a, sat in 5. So lets go to a took mindful day for the government to the se in these governors on news. But then not being killed. Why is it that in where we leave and then the someone on just the phone . It was my dad, a cleaning on a, so cleaning all according to the, the little so the we need to, when we need to put it clear that it needs to be an, an important thing that we feel like its not if its not to and equally on time do dash, that was the case of calls in being in this like some people in government and stolen dealings made so many tickets. They fits of course with names and in the country. And during this period, there was also um, a lot of property in the communities, and actually the police did not as waste the coven dns despite having been a protest. It is the people protesting against this. Go with the union, thats what actually i raced it. So what that shes saying is theres a distinction between people who are ceiling to survive. And people who are stealing from the people. Because the government told from the poor in that particular incent which led them to linger is when you say that youre fighting for justice, what does justice look like . Fear . So for me, justice means uh this, this consistent like people shifted. Same uh they said this list is like following the little moist killed with the police, the one to me, but thats 600 additional kidding to you are not given upon me to be the by the police to conduct a fundraising so i can get funds to do that, by the way, in which one you have incandescence because thats, thats almost game that need strong to, you know, given a, find me. So for this no invested there. So if i, if i guess is that people shouldnt be treated equally. Thats what does this mean schools, and what about you wonder at what is justice look like to you and when youre fighting for that . Well, is it that youre thinking about . My brother was killed by police. Justice ideally would look like me getting boss, my brother. But that is not possible. So injustice would look like preventing people from losing their loved ones. Its the only thing that would make sense for me sooner is and we, im fighting that physical needs needs to solve. So can, is do not have to go through a necessary, paid cost, bite the bullet. So has that ever been a time that you have seen just as an action in kenya with regard to, you know, police kennings, if there was a case to all funding of the ocean supplementing station um over a company station who killed someone in the Police Station who drowned them in a drum full of water and as the inmates could see that. And when we documented this case together with the International Justice mission, we took it to court and we attended court sessions. We are going to show a certain justice for my team call me and the enlightenment when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. And that was the 1st day i saw justice in action in this country. And i want to move the conversation a little bit and says, all the areas i know you care about. I want to specifically also talk to you guys about music. It feels like it is really a lifeline view. So for me, music is life. Uh, i feel like uh, the way the way people have a power like the police have the gun and they feed ball fully done. So for me its even possible and they have music because its part of my life. Last year we had the case of very beginning to end or we had a police list looking for a site and then the southern thief. When dining he, he went to, hes friends on some of the defense or not the. So the police ended up getting everybody under the thats all, it was all about stuff inside traditional kidding. We did. Coincides to that then the Community Justice center. My dad is social Justice Centers and all that. And we, because just these 2 through the power of the ad on the board, new new police. And are there any other names of people or any other examples of cultural or music the you have found to be powerful or inspiring and can . Yeah. Im listen to me, i see mine and the song, mississippi, and good them about Police Brutality. They will forgot that identify and became a big issue for the black people over there. They went to a protest singing that song, but then few full pa, full, and nina, hassle of felt like how do i find more relevance we should see to and once the struggle of last people what youre saying about, then its still ver
