People people whose very job at a protest is to both documented and keep people safe are now being beaten arrested and shot by rubber bullets and pepper sprayed in the face why to keep the peace if that is the peace the Law Enforcement represents then let me ask you is that a peace worth keeping. Yes windows have been broken yes buildings have been burned innocent people have been hurt but is the destruction of commercial or private property by looters or riders justification enough for the police or now even possibly the military to wage war on those brave it up in our society to take to the streets and march for equality in criminal justice reform. Let me tell you something thats only justified when the government is no longer of the people for the people and by the people and has descended into what is a very constitution and bill of rights protects against fascism. And fighting against that descent into fascism is why we are always watching the hawks. Whats going on in a city street you want to see. There so you like to see this as this joyce state see all these. Crazy sick displays systemic deceptions late show which were so when the guild is. Welcome everyone watching the parts i am tire over and over and im a surprise. And joining us today to discuss the current state of the george way black lives matter protest and Law Enforcement violent response to these protests from atlanta asia park a legal hoops arbor with the National Lawyers and here in washington d. C. Civil rights activist harry reid. Age id like to start with you you you felt the direct force of Law Enforcement versus protester earlier this week of monday when in your job as a legal observer of the protest the Atlanta Police Department Arrested you 1st can you describe what a legal observers job at a protest is and why did the Atlanta Police attack and arrest you. We started tonight we have been monitoring. Protests since 1980. 4 like black panthers in different groups it is our job to ensure their protestors are using their free speech and are not being impeded and constitutionally by Police Forces or in this case even the national guard. And what happened to you in the forest how did this all come about. Well. I i was with another legal observer who was also arrested and we were simply documenting people who had been arrested or people who may have been arrested we asked for their names and their birthday so we can see just for it later. We knew where target is one of. The girls in green had no they took us away and the people we were monitoring were not even arrested they specifically targeted a stew and then they arrested him really for who are people who are with us and then that night they arrested its holding more than 50 people in the grandest onto a prison bus in the middle of a cold in 1000 pandemic its. Wow. But yes its frightening to even think about in asia we know that there has been a lot of being during this protest the van that we havent necessarily seen before specifically the treatment of people like yourself police normally dont arrest or pester don with legal observers or medics during protests why do you believe that now who is now being broken and what have been galatea of these attacks. I believe has been broken out the same day i was arrested there are some Atlanta Journal constitution reporters arrested so avidly these are the being broken specifically so that there is nobody to document the brutality of the lead a police force specifically also nation why. Whats the reporters and on whats legal observers on the cops are free to do as a please and even seen what they do on camera we seen them arrest reports of terror so what are they doing when the cameras are not the be can be played the images of buildings the property be murder what is happening to the human being on a street so i believe we are being targeted because they want to continue their actions telling without being noticed. Perry youve been a target for your civil rights activism by Law Enforcement for many years what do you feel is motivating the rise in the violence of these attacks on protestors citizens journalists legal observers and now it seems that as we learned earlier to be old white 75 year old man by Law Enforcement why is the violence rising amongst police. Well here we are at this point near 0 with the theater of losing power is the sole reason why weve seen such early resistance to calls for justice now the idea that americas traditional principles and values are rooted in the. Leadership and dumbbells with the entire court which say. We are getting exactly what we pay for. 2015 said we want someone whos going to run this country like a business well were in a business right now and theyre not pretty at all you know that its most certainly isnt. And with the arrest of the 4 officers involved and the taking down of confederate statues and monuments across the Southern States there are many of the mainstream there now expecting to see these protests and marches in but thats not exactly going to be the case is it perry what are your thoughts. Yes my hopes are that it because usually what happens and ive been on watching the hawks previously would for land ok. Michael brown was killed when the kwame brown was killed and we go to any steps to a Police Killing and those steps include the shock then we go to the outreach then the call home. In the west a geisha in which he. You know it with minnesota then we have that are to charge which we had a change in this case where charges were upgraded number 6 we have the cool by moment and we had a lot during the viral persona iris now with the police. We. Need your time in. America as those who are on the who are not conservative in leaning we hope that we do not get collective. Its back to business as usual age i want to do is were not going back to business as you measure i want to bring you back into vs what do you feel Going Forward you know what what is the case can be Going Forward and where do you see these marches and these protests going next. For war or hope that people continue to demand to defund the police and hope that we push tourist abolition of prisons id hope that the reformist policies that are starting to come out now do not get too much Energy Behind them and been seen celebrities repos things talked about being told when many departments are in banjul calls. In a chokehold and the n. Y. P. D. Deny that he was initial hole even though we saw the video so i do hope that people continue in the streets to demand plenty and in a Police Intervention the abolishment of the Police Forces but i hope that the reformist policies from the neo liberals who are now on the streets i hope they dont subdue the protests i hope people can see to buy into it substantial change and major what do you think is going to help to bring about that change in terms of we know that protests are great in that they do bring about a lot of attention to issues that otherwise people naturally ignore but protests typically dont last for months at a time how do we continue to keep the feet to the fire how do we continue to keep people engaged in these issues that matter so much to changing our society. For what is important here in atlanta we have a great group called the peoples response atlanta which is a coalition of different plaiting is aces many of them ive let live it and they are trying to. Remote political education they are trying to integrate the demands of the protests with the demand of the pandemic such as the rich strike they want to bring people into organizations people hopefully across the nation their organizations in the streets people who are trying to gain membership that we were supposed to do stuff and still have organize frett it gets the best system into country so hopefully i hope that west protests over people join in the organization theyre being politically educated so they know what is going on and how to spread the information to their communities and i just hope that we find a way to direct energy especially outside of simply voting there are other ways to change our community outside of voting but we need to learn how to hope politicians responsible once they are in office because down here in atlanta we have to balance shes doing a media run right now and the problem is that she was lesser of 2 evils vote and we have to figure out how do we hold that kind of person accountable so we have been given her demands for years. There is a mantle in atlanta last year he was an organizer is they with us so his family has been trying to balance to start an investigation and eventually get the qatars but we hope that all of this injury is put into stuff like that put into organizations put into political education so that we continue the Movement Even if it is in the street and some of us hope it will be in the church itll be. Community meetings in city Hall Meetings where everybody can put this in energy and where we can push change and hope that we continue to do it and i hope that people grab all. Our i couldnt agree with you more age i want to say i want to thank you for the good work that youre doing out there in atlanta and put yourself on the line and on the front lines of this fight because i do believe it is at the end of the day a fight against oppressive government oppressive fascism and passes them and also of course where. At the end of the institutional racism thank you so much for coming on today and i also want to thank perry red for coming on we did lose his feet up with there but thank you both for your fight out there and keep up the great work.

With protests raging 19 seems to be an afterthought for many the world still looks different but signs of normalcy are slowly returning with one cabbie and expectant mothers pregnant women and their newborns are living in an alternate universe where coping 1000. 00 not only disrupted the Health Care System but placed a significant strain on mothers and their newborns an estimated 160000000. 00 babies will be born during the time of Global Health crisis. New mothers and newborns will be greeted by harsh realities unicefs that included global containment measures such as lock downs and curfews Health Centers overwhelmed supply and equipment shortages and lack of sufficient and skilled help workers including midwives at a time where women should be happy about this next stage in expanding their families many are filled with fear and anxiety mothers around the world are faced with the delivering their children alone as guests are not permitted in the delivery room and visitors are banned from the hospitals new moms are using Technology Like skype and zoom to share the precious moments with their partners and other family members. Some women are even turning to hold birth giving up on hospitals altogether out of the frustration over Current Conditions both wealthy and impoverished nations are dealing with the impact of covert 19 in labor and delivery though do you think wealthy countries like the usa would be better off if they arent in america precode that black women suffer at the highest rates of Maternal Mortality rivaling Subsaharan Africa black mothers die at a rate of 3. 2 times that of white mothers and researchers suspect the combination of institutional racism and failures within our Health Care System is the primary culprits here to tell us more about Maternal Health in the pandemic is there were billings director of the new morning foundation. Hi deborah. Hi i am glad to be with you and can i say that im not with an issue anywhere with you with you. Thank you so much for the update thank you and you never we all have heard anecdotal stories i know i have friends whove been pregnant and delivered during cold 19 bear bearing interestingly at this time especially not having visitors be allowed you know in the room what have you seen and how is being body brought on by coping 19 being mitigated or expectant mom. So i can draw on from personal experiences of. Women having a lot of fear around will they be able to be accompanied right through the pregnancy experience and birthing especially what will happen will be unable to be united with their babies right away ill say here in South Carolina there are a number of initiatives during on their dreams from. Separating sort of higher risk women. Who are who have 19 who are experiencing who remain teens and separating them from other women who are not. Experiencing the virus so that there is that separation and the ability to made as normal as possible for pregnancy and birth experience. But that idea of needing to the fear that it wont be accompanied throughout this process is one that i think is really. Fueling a lot of women who look at other options for pregnant hebrew in general to have the other option and i and id like to talk about food options of all let me ask you what what are some of those other options because i know you know i think that its important to look into what people are doing outside of their being separated what what are some of those other options. Brain so we did an analysis. Social media. Over the last 6 months or the last 6 months in comparing the last 2 months and there are a lot of women who are looking more at. Home birth options and all those also. Birthing Center Options and thats been really important option for women for a long time although most birds in a. Z. The place in hospital setting these other options have always been there and i think that this is the time pursue really the reflection of what is possible and what can be possible as we move forward the one thing that the pandemic has done i think has forced all of us in Public Health and medical care to. To try things that without the pandemic we would have been told thats not possible you cant have prenatal care be a tele how you can have sort of home visits taking place in ways that they are now and one of the most important things that were trying to do in documents and really capture womens experiences in the voices of women and with these new alternatives is that saying this works we dont have to have the sort of very medicalized model that weve had for such a long time and it was only main seen after lets say we have a vaccine because the theory is that some of these innovations that he can play that are being sort of experience in a positive way and are providing more open access to women for example tele health. That we maintain those changes after the pandemic after the back scene is in for the right lets not go backwards theres a lot of talk about lets get back to normal and when you. Talk about your ignorance ian berthing we dont want to go back to that scene i mean as you said in the introduction the fact that africanamerican women die 3. 2 new around there more than 3 times the rate of white women in the United States we dont want to go back to that thats the horrible place to be and so were seeing the same thing through these innovations. And we want to keep moving forward reserves will step forward and that medical staff are already under resourced in community the color particularly in prenatal care we all know with bible to healthy pregnancy and delivery but when i came has changed that a bit because now people arent having their regular prenatal visits as scheduled as they would outside of this part of the business negatively impact the mother and the child. Absolutely and i mean the thing is i was looking through the c. D. C. The centers for Disease Control and prevention website. You know these are very general recommendation during the pandemic dont miss your community or visit dont and as much easier said than done is how they even birds or the pandemic access to prenatal care is needed for a lot of women lets take the example of women who are here who are undocumented. Because of their repressive laws that we have in the kind of immigration system which is criminals. Those women oftentimes not only cannot access care they have a fear of acting. Right and so what are we doing to an evil them to have act was here. One of the most innovative models thats out there and i will say South Carolina is known for a lot of thing a lot of negative things but we can say that we were the 1st states and really take the center in creating the program which is providing prenatal care in groups. Its a whole model and we were the 1st state so we. Threw out 8 using medicaid dollars and the fact that that is not right now because of the pandemic is really frustrating because we had study published that show that that. Needed. Reducing and eliminating that negative group outcome gap and black women. Who are using their tickets to their service to the fact that thats on hold right now is. That is that that and. Me thinking there is a group that does the very devastating i want we only got about a minute left so i just want to ask you you know where do you see moving forward have the biggest things that need to change in order to keep black mothers and other expectant mothers prior to covered night. What is what needs to change or what do you hope see that would make birthing for black mothers easier so we can get that rate down and stop putting stop keeping stop allowing people to be threatened when they go to the hospital. Why should we have a total rate revamping of the way which we deliver prenatal care delivery or birthing. Organs here in coeur great women in active in the back here use the human rights we suggested just as free market deals with very. Very explicitly implicit violence and reason with in health here weve got a bill going out to reduce leaders here in South Carolina that youre watching right now that makes increases by training mandatory for health care providers. These are the kinds of issues that i think we often turn to medical and solution and youre more of is it. And we have you know again he has not you most definitely deborah billings thank you so much for coming on today and educating our audience truly truly wonderful work thank you so much. If you think. Marijuana is probably the most overly police drug in america with the penalties for users resulting in the incarceration of communities for generations but their medicinal use years of research in states going for broke america is a long and frustrating battle with weed has taken a different turn they need to make money and by no better way to do it than legalizing the once shown substance but it seems americans arent the only ones with a love with our ancient people and the kingdom of judah might have been among the 1st to light up. Researchers found that over 2700 years ago worshippers at the holy holy shrine in israel may have gotten high above. Bourke cannabis and break into what this covered up the fight after analyzing ancient residue left on the altars at the shrine an altered state of consciousness is believed to be an important part of ceremonies undertaken at the holy site the bokes campus has a long history and possibly some religious context as well.
