00:20:37:00	00:20:37:00	UNIVERSITY.
00:20:37:00	00:20:41:00	THERE'S ALSO A PERSONAL STORY
00:20:41:00	00:20:41:00	AND A CONNECTION I HAVE WITH
00:20:41:00	00:20:45:00	REVEREND HALEY GILLARD THAT I
00:20:45:00	00:20:45:00	JUST LEARNED ABOUT JUST A
00:20:45:00	00:20:48:00	COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
00:20:48:00	00:20:49:00	SO HER MOTHER IS MILDRED HALEY.
00:20:49:00	00:20:52:00	AS COUNCIL MEMBER I'M SURE
00:20:52:00	00:20:52:00	YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE
00:20:52:00	00:20:53:00	WITH THE RENAMING OF BROMLEY
00:20:53:00	00:20:56:00	HEATH AND I WAS HOME SICK A
00:20:56:00	00:20:59:00	COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WITH THE
00:20:59:00	00:20:59:00	FLU AND I WAS WATCHING THE
00:20:59:00	00:21:00:00	NEWS AND NEW ENGLAND CABLE
00:21:00:00	00:21:01:00	NEWS AND THEY WERE DOING A
00:21:01:00	00:21:03:00	PIECE ON MILDRED HALEY AND ALL
00:21:03:00	00:21:07:00	OF HER ADVOCACY AND THEY TALKED
00:21:07:00	00:21:07:00	ABOUT HOW SHE WOULD BEND THE
00:21:07:00	00:21:08:00	EAR OF THE LOCAL POLITICIANS AT
00:21:08:00	00:21:11:00	THAT TIME AND THEY FLASHED A
00:21:11:00	00:21:12:00	PHOTO UP AND I'M LYING IN BED
00:21:12:00	00:21:14:00	AND I THINK I'M HALLUCINATING
00:21:14:00	00:21:15:00	RIGHT AT THIS POINT WITH THE
00:21:15:00	00:21:16:00	HIGH TEMPS AND I GO THAT'S MY
00:21:16:00	00:21:18:00	FATHER ON THE TELEVISION
00:21:18:00	00:21:19:00	STANDING NEXT TO MILDRED HALEY.
00:21:19:00	00:21:22:00	AND SO THEY SHOWED TWO
00:21:22:00	00:21:25:00	DIFFERENT PICTURES AND SO WHEN
00:21:25:00	00:21:26:00	MILDRED CAME TODAY I SAID THIS
00:21:26:00	00:21:28:00	IS REALLY A LOT OF HISTORY
00:21:28:00	00:21:32:00	COMBINING ITSELF WHERE MY
00:21:32:00	00:21:32:00	FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER WOULD
00:21:32:00	00:21:36:00	GET TOGETHER AND COLLABORATE TO
00:21:36:00	00:21:37:00	MAKE THIS CITY BETTER.
00:21:37:00	00:21:38:00	AND THE ONLY REASON SHE'S HERE
00:21:38:00	00:21:41:00	TODAY IS BECAUSE SHE MARRIED
00:21:41:00	00:21:41:00	JESSICA CORREIA FROM MY OFFICE
00:21:41:00	00:21:43:00	WHO SAID I THINK I'VE GOT
00:21:43:00	00:21:44:00	SOMEBODY FOR CLERGY.
00:21:44:00	00:21:45:00	SO WE JUST LEARNED ABOUT THIS
00:21:45:00	00:21:47:00	ALL BUT THAT CONNECTION IN
00:21:47:00	00:21:48:00	ITSELF WAS VERY SPECIAL TO ME.
00:21:48:00	00:21:52:00	AND I'M SORRY FROM STEALING

00:28:50:00	00:28:54:00	STATE LEADERS.
00:28:54:00	00:28:58:00	SENATOR ELDRIDGE HAS HAS FILED
00:28:58:00	00:28:58:00	A SAFE COMMUNITIES ACT WHICH
00:28:58:00	00:29:01:00	WOULD FUNCTION LIKE THE BOSTON
00:29:01:00	00:29:02:00	TRUST ACT AND PREVENT
00:29:02:00	00:29:05:00	COOPERATION BETWEEN OUR STATE
00:29:05:00	00:29:05:00	OFFICIALS AND ICE.
00:29:05:00	00:29:09:00	YOU KNOW, I STRONGLY SUPPORT
00:29:09:00	00:29:09:00	THAT.
00:29:09:00	00:29:16:00	WE HAVE ANOTHER BILL BY FILE
00:29:16:00	00:29:16:00	FILED BY SENATOR GOMEZ, WHICH
00:29:16:00	00:29:19:00	IS THE IMMIGRANT LEGAL DEFENSE
00:29:19:00	00:29:22:00	ACT WHICH WOULD PROVIDE LEGAL
00:29:22:00	00:29:23:00	SERVICES OR FUNDS FOR LEGAL
00:29:23:00	00:29:27:00	SERVICES FOR FOLKS TRYING TO
00:29:27:00	00:29:27:00	LEGALIZE THEIR IMMIGRATION
00:29:27:00	00:29:31:00	STATUS OR WHO ARE OTHERWISE IN

00:29:34:00	00:29:35:00	HAVE NOT COMMITTED A SERIOUS
00:29:35:00	00:29:35:00	CRIME.
00:29:35:00	00:29:38:00	I THINK WE SHOULD SUPPORT THAT
00:29:38:00	00:29:38:00	.
00:29:38:00	00:29:42:00	IN ADDITION, WE HAVE A DIGNITY
00:29:42:00	00:29:43:00	IN DETENTION STATE BILL WHICH
00:29:43:00	00:29:46:00	IS PENDING WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT

00:29:49:00	00:29:52:00	CONTRACTS AND SERVING AS
00:29:52:00	00:29:52:00	DETENTION CENTERS.
00:29:52:00	00:29:53:00	I THINK THERE IS NEWS RECENTLY
00:29:53:00	00:29:57:00	THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S
00:29:57:00	00:29:57:00	CONTRACTING TO BUILD IN
00:29:57:00	00:30:00:00	BASICALLY AN INTERNMENT CAMP A
00:30:00:00	00:30:01:00	DETENTION CENTER IN NEW JERSEY.
00:30:01:00	00:30:04:00	WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
00:30:04:00	00:30:08:00	NOT HAPPENING HERE IN OUR STATE
00:30:08:00	00:30:08:00	.
00:30:08:00	00:30:09:00	YOU KNOW, AND PART OF THIS WORK
00:30:09:00	00:30:12:00	IS NOT JUST FOR OUR FRIENDS AND

00:31:15:00	00:31:15:00	FRONT.
00:31:15:00	00:31:16:00	I FIRST WOULD LIKE TO THANK
00:31:16:00	00:31:17:00	EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO OUR

00:31:19:00	00:31:19:00	SOLIDARITY WITH IMMIGRANT
00:31:19:00	00:31:22:00	COMMUNITIES.
00:31:22:00	00:31:23:00	THIS IDEA CAME FROM A
00:31:23:00	00:31:23:00	ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION THAT OUR
00:31:23:00	00:31:26:00	OFFICE HOSTED.
00:31:26:00	00:31:27:00	BUT PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD BEEN
00:31:27:00	00:31:30:00	IN COMMUNICATION WITH MI
00:31:30:00	00:31:31:00	HEALTH, A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
00:31:31:00	00:31:31:00	THAT HAS BEEN DOING A LOT
00:31:31:00	00:31:34:00	OF WORK AROUND PRO-IMMIGRANT
00:31:34:00	00:31:34:00	ISSUES.
00:31:34:00	00:31:38:00	AND THE IDEA WAS CAME TO BE
00:31:38:00	00:31:38:00	BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SUPPORT
00:31:38:00	00:31:39:00	OUR MAYORS WHO ARE GOING TO BE
00:31:39:00	00:31:42:00	TESTIFYING IN DC AND I WAS SO
00:31:42:00	00:31:46:00	INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO MIRA,
00:31:46:00	00:31:47:00	ACLU AND THE HOST OF OTHER
00:31:47:00	00:31:50:00	ORGANIZATIONS THAT SAID YES,
00:31:50:00	00:31:50:00	LET'S FIGHT FOR IMMIGRANT
00:31:50:00	00:31:50:00	COMMUNITIES.
00:31:50:00	00:31:51:00	SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
00:31:51:00	00:31:51:00	THEM.
00:31:51:00	00:31:54:00	AND MIRA WAS ONE OF OUR
00:31:54:00	00:31:54:00	PARTNERS.
00:31:54:00	00:31:55:00	MIRA NOT ONLY SHOWED UP TO THE
00:31:55:00	00:31:57:00	ROUNDTABLE, THEY LET US KNOW
00:31:57:00	00:31:58:00	ABOUT THE IMMIGRANT DEFENSE ACT
00:31:58:00	00:32:01:00	THAT THEY WERE SUPPORTING AND
00:32:01:00	00:32:02:00	URGED EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE TO
00:32:02:00	00:32:05:00	JOIN THEM IN THAT FIGHT AS IT
00:32:05:00	00:32:06:00	PASSED THROUGH THE STATE HOUSE.
00:32:06:00	00:32:08:00	WE IMMEDIATELY SAID LET'S GO.
00:32:08:00	00:32:09:00	AND SO I'M JUST REALLY PLEASED
00:32:09:00	00:32:12:00	AND GRATEFUL TO MY COLLEAGUES
00:32:12:00	00:32:12:00	COUNSELOR WEBER AND COUNSELOR
00:32:12:00	00:32:13:00	LOUIJEUNE FOR ALWAYS TAKING THE
00:32:13:00	00:32:16:00	LEAD.
00:32:16:00	00:32:17:00	AND I WANT TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE
00:32:17:00	00:32:19:00	AND AFFIRM HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
00:32:19:00	00:32:20:00	FOR US IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME
00:32:20:00	00:32:21:00	TO RECOGNIZE THAT IMMIGRANT
00:32:21:00	00:32:24:00	COMMUNITIES ARE HERE TO STAY.
00:32:24:00	00:32:27:00	I OFTEN TALK ABOUT THE FACT
00:32:27:00	00:32:28:00	THAT, YOU KNOW, MY MOM WAS
00:32:28:00	00:32:30:00	UNDOCUMENTED WHEN I WAS GROWING
00:32:30:00	00:32:31:00	UP AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT
00:32:31:00	00:32:31:00	OF ANTI-IMMIGRANT SENTIMENT BUT
00:32:31:00	00:32:34:00	I'M HERE TO SAY THAT THE
00:32:34:00	00:32:35:00	ATTACKS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON
00:32:35:00	00:32:38:00	THE FEDERAL LEVEL THEY'RE
00:32:38:00	00:32:38:00	COMING FOR ALL OF US.
00:32:38:00	00:32:39:00	AND IF WE'RE NOT STANDING WITH
00:32:39:00	00:32:43:00	EACH OTHER IN SOLIDARITY WITH
00:32:43:00	00:32:46:00	ONE ANOTHER, WE'RE ALL GOING TO
00:32:46:00	00:32:50:00	FIND OURSELVES IN SPACES IN
00:32:50:00	00:32:51:00	PLACES THAT WE DON'T NEED TO
00:32:51:00	00:32:51:00	BE.
00:32:51:00	00:32:54:00	AND WHILE I DO APPRECIATE THIS
00:32:54:00	00:32:54:00	OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE MIC, I
00:32:54:00	00:32:57:00	WOULD BE REMISS IF I DON'T
00:32:57:00	00:33:00:00	UPLIFT THE FACT THAT IN 2016 MY
00:33:00:00	00:33:03:00	LITTLE DAUGHTER WAS SIX YEARS
00:33:03:00	00:33:04:00	OLD AND I WAS AFRAID TO WAKE
00:33:04:00	00:33:06:00	HER UP.
00:33:06:00	00:33:07:00	AND THE FIRST QUESTION THAT SHE
00:33:07:00	00:33:10:00	ASKED ME AFTER WE REALIZED THAT
00:33:10:00	00:33:13:00	THE THE TRUMP NUMBER 45 AT THE
00:33:13:00	00:33:14:00	TIME HAD WON THE FIRST QUESTION
00:33:14:00	00:33:17:00	SHE ASKED ME IS IF WE WERE
00:33:17:00	00:33:18:00	GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE THIS
00:33:18:00	00:33:21:00	COUNTRY AND THAT WILL FOREVER
00:33:21:00	00:33:25:00	BE IN MY HEARTS.
00:33:25:00	00:33:29:00	AND BECAUSE I DIDN'T I WASN'T
00:33:29:00	00:33:30:00	BORN IN THIS COUNTRY.
00:33:30:00	00:33:32:00	I BECAME A NATURALIZED CITIZEN
00:33:32:00	00:33:33:00	.
00:33:33:00	00:33:35:00	I AM THIS COUNTRY.
00:33:35:00	00:33:39:00	OKAY.
00:33:39:00	00:33:43:00	AND THIS IS THE MOMENT AND THIS
00:33:43:00	00:33:43:00	IS OUR MOMENT.
00:33:43:00	00:33:46:00	THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE
00:33:46:00	00:33:50:00	THAT WE CAN'T KEEP CONQUERING
00:33:50:00	00:33:50:00	AND DIVIDING AND FIGHTING EACH
00:33:50:00	00:33:53:00	OTHER.
00:33:53:00	00:33:57:00	LET'S STAND UNITED.
00:33:57:00	00:34:02:00	THANK YOU.
00:34:02:00	00:34:02:00	THANK YOU.

00:41:48:00	00:41:52:00	BATTLE OF INDEPENDENCE, ATTICUS
00:41:52:00	00:41:53:00	WAS NOT JUST A BYSTANDER IN
00:41:53:00	00:41:55:00	HISTORY HE WAS A LEADER, A
00:41:55:00	00:41:56:00	FIGHTER AND A SYMBOL
00:41:56:00	00:41:59:00	OF INDEPENDENCE AT A TIME WHEN
00:41:59:00	00:42:00:00	THE COLONIES WERE STILL
00:42:00:00	00:42:00:00	DEBATING THEIR PLACE IN THE
00:42:00:00	00:42:03:00	BRITISH EMPIRE, HE TOOK A STAND
00:42:03:00	00:42:06:00	UNARMED BUT UNWAVERING
00:42:06:00	00:42:07:00	CONFRONTING THE FORCES
00:42:07:00	00:42:10:00	OF OPPRESSION HEAD ON.
00:42:10:00	00:42:10:00	TODAY WE ARE MAKING HIS
00:42:10:00	00:42:13:00	SACRIFICE, MAKING SURE THE
00:42:13:00	00:42:14:00	SACRIFICE IS NOT FORGOTTEN.
00:42:14:00	00:42:15:00	LAST YEAR MY OFFICE FILED A
00:42:15:00	00:42:18:00	HEARING FOR THE CREATION OF A

00:42:28:00	00:42:30:00	IN PLACE FOR THE NATION'S 250TH
00:42:30:00	00:42:33:00	ANNIVERSARY AND BY 2030 BOSTON

01:19:28:00	01:19:29:00	PROVIDED.
01:19:29:00	01:19:32:00	THESE REPORTS WILL GIVE US A
01:19:32:00	01:19:33:00	WINDOW INTO HOW MUCH FUNDING
01:19:33:00	01:19:36:00	WAS REALLOCATED AT THE END

01:19:49:00	01:19:53:00	ONE OF THE MOST PRESSING
01:19:53:00	01:19:54:00	QUESTIONS WE NEED ANSWER FOR IS
01:19:54:00	01:19:55:00	HOW MANY VACANCIES DO WE STILL
01:19:55:00	01:19:57:00	HAVE ACROSS ALL CITY
01:19:57:00	01:19:57:00	DEPARTMENTS?

01:20:13:00	01:20:16:00	IF NOT WHAT'S PREVENTING
01:20:16:00	01:20:17:00	PROGRESS.
01:20:17:00	01:20:17:00	ANOTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS
01:20:17:00	01:20:17:00	RETENTION.
01:20:17:00	01:20:20:00	WHAT ARE WE LEARNING FROM
01:20:20:00	01:20:21:00	EMPLOYEES WHO LEAVE CITY JOBS?

01:20:26:00	01:20:28:00	PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES?

01:23:50:00	01:23:53:00	THIS BILL WOULD ESTABLISH A
01:23:53:00	01:23:53:00	PROGRAM THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR
01:23:53:00	01:23:57:00	PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDS TO
01:23:57:00	01:23:57:00	COME IN THAT WOULD PROVIDE FOR

01:24:19:00	01:24:20:00	IS NOT DESIGNED TO PROTECT

01:24:26:00	01:24:27:00	PEOPLE SOLIDIFY THEIR STATUS.
01:24:27:00	01:24:30:00	MAYBE THEY'RE HERE UNDER THE
01:24:30:00	01:24:31:00	TPS PROGRAM.
01:24:31:00	01:24:32:00	BUT FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S IN THIS
01:24:32:00	01:24:35:00	COMPLEX LEGAL PROCESS NOT
01:24:35:00	01:24:38:00	BECAUSE OF CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS
01:24:38:00	01:24:38:00	BUT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN CAUGHT

01:24:39:00	01:24:42:00	TARGETING IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE

01:24:46:00	01:24:46:00	THAT AGAIN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC
01:24:46:00	01:24:47:00	FUNDING WOULD SUPPORT THEM.
01:24:47:00	01:24:50:00	THE THIRD ONE IS THE DIGNITY
01:24:50:00	01:24:50:00	NOT DEPORTATIONS ACT WHICH

01:27:15:00	01:27:15:00	BOTH POLITICAL COURAGE AND FOR
01:27:15:00	01:27:16:00	THE POLITICAL AND POLITICAL
01:27:16:00	01:27:19:00	INTEGRITY.
01:27:19:00	01:27:20:00	I OFTEN HEAR FROM MY COLLEAGUES
01:27:20:00	01:27:22:00	THAT WE SUPPORT IMMIGRANTS THAT
01:27:22:00	01:27:23:00	WE STAND WITH THEM AND THAT AND
01:27:23:00	01:27:24:00	THAT THEY'RE ALL RESIDENTS

01:27:28:00	01:27:31:00	THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO TAKE A
01:27:31:00	01:27:34:00	VOTE AND VOTE ON BEHALF AND IN
01:27:34:00	01:27:35:00	SUPPORT OF IMMIGRANTS, WE OUGHT
01:27:35:00	01:27:38:00	NOT TO THIS RESOLUTION
01:27:38:00	01:27:39:00	DECLARING OUR SUPPORT FOR BILLS
01:27:39:00	01:27:39:00	THAT WILL PROVIDE BASIC
01:27:39:00	01:27:42:00	PROTECTIONS OF OUR IMMIGRANTS
01:27:42:00	01:27:43:00	IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF WORK
01:27:43:00	01:27:43:00	THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING.
01:27:43:00	01:27:46:00	WHAT IT IS SAYING THAT HUNDREDS
01:27:46:00	01:27:50:00	OF IMMIGRANTS YOU REPRESENT ARE
01:27:50:00	01:27:51:00	ARE GOING TO BE CONCERNED THAT
01:27:51:00	01:27:54:00	YOU WISH TO BLOCK THIS IN A
01:27:54:00	01:27:54:00	MATTER OF JUST TWO WEEKS WE
01:27:54:00	01:27:55:00	ORGANIZED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TO
01:27:55:00	01:27:58:00	SHOW UP HERE IN FRONT OF CITY
01:27:58:00	01:28:01:00	HALL TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY
01:28:01:00	01:28:02:00	WITH THOSE VERY IMMIGRANTS THAT
01:28:02:00	01:28:05:00	WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT AND TO
01:28:05:00	01:28:09:00	NOT ALLOW DEMOCRACY TO PLAY OUT
01:28:09:00	01:28:10:00	IN THIS PLACE.
01:28:10:00	01:28:12:00	IT'S SILENCING US FROM THE
01:28:12:00	01:28:13:00	SIDELINES YET AGAIN.
01:28:13:00	01:28:16:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON IS A CITY
01:28:16:00	01:28:16:00	OF IMMIGRANTS.
01:28:16:00	01:28:17:00	LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THIS
01:28:17:00	01:28:20:00	COUNCIL TO SEE THE RESULTS OF A
01:28:20:00	01:28:21:00	CITY THAT WELCOMES ALL OF US.
01:28:21:00	01:28:23:00	MANY OF US ARE HERE OUR
01:28:23:00	01:28:24:00	CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANTS.
01:28:24:00	01:28:24:00	MANY OF US ARE IMMIGRANTS
01:28:24:00	01:28:27:00	OURSELVES AND LET US HONOR OUR
01:28:27:00	01:28:28:00	ROOTS AND THE SPIRIT OF THIS
01:28:28:00	01:28:31:00	COUNCIL BY BOLSTERING OUR
01:28:31:00	01:28:31:00	SUPPORT OF IMMIGRANTS INSTEAD
01:28:31:00	01:28:35:00	OF UPHOLDING NORMS THAT AIM TO
01:28:35:00	01:28:36:00	SHUT DOWN THE DOORS ON THEM.
01:28:36:00	01:28:39:00	I KINDLY ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO
01:28:39:00	01:28:39:00	NOT BLOCK THIS AND TO ALLOW US
01:28:39:00	01:28:42:00	TO STAND UP AND TAKE A VOTE.
01:28:42:00	01:28:46:00	AND YOU KNOW, I THINK I THINK I
01:28:46:00	01:28:46:00	HAVE A MINUTE LEFT.
01:28:46:00	01:28:47:00	I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE NEED
01:28:47:00	01:28:50:00	TO REALLY START RECOGNIZING
01:28:50:00	01:28:51:00	THAT THE RHETORIC THAT COMES IN
01:28:51:00	01:28:54:00	AND OUT OF SPACES THAT ARE
01:28:54:00	01:28:57:00	POLITICAL DO HAVE UNINTENDED
01:28:57:00	01:28:58:00	CONSEQUENCES IN THE WAY PEOPLE
01:28:58:00	01:29:01:00	SEE THEMSELVES OR FEEL ABOUT
01:29:01:00	01:29:02:00	THEMSELVES.
01:29:02:00	01:29:02:00	AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
01:29:02:00	01:29:06:00	WE UTILIZE OUR MICROPHONE TO BE
01:29:06:00	01:29:10:00	A BIT MORE COMPASSIONATE AND
01:29:10:00	01:29:10:00	UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE A
01:29:10:00	01:29:11:00	LOT OF PEOPLE RIGHT NOW WHO ARE
01:29:11:00	01:29:14:00	LIVING IN FEAR AND THEY'RE
01:29:14:00	01:29:17:00	BEING CRIMINALIZED AND THEY'RE
01:29:17:00	01:29:21:00	BEING TREATED AS THOUGH THE
01:29:21:00	01:29:22:00	OTHER THING THAT WE LIKE TO DO
01:29:22:00	01:29:23:00	HERE AND I THINK THAT THIS IS
01:29:23:00	01:29:25:00	AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US AS A
01:29:25:00	01:29:25:00	COUNCIL TO STAND UNITED IN
01:29:25:00	01:29:28:00	SUPPORT OF IMMIGRANTS,
01:29:28:00	01:29:29:00	ESPECIALLY IN THE CLIMATE THAT
01:29:29:00	01:29:32:00	WE ARE ALL LIVING IN RIGHT NOW.
01:29:32:00	01:29:33:00	WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ALLOW
01:29:33:00	01:29:36:00	HATE TO DRIVE THE POLITICAL
01:29:36:00	01:29:39:00	DISCOURSE THAT WE SEE.
01:29:39:00	01:29:40:00	SO I'M GOING TO ASK MY
01:29:40:00	01:29:41:00	COLLEAGUES AND WHILE I
01:29:41:00	01:29:44:00	APPRECIATE THE NEED TO
01:29:44:00	01:29:44:00	POTENTIALLY WANT TO HAVE A
01:29:44:00	01:29:48:00	HEARING AROUND THIS, THERE ARE
01:29:48:00	01:29:48:00	THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN IN THIS
01:29:48:00	01:29:51:00	CHAMBER THAT WE HAVE VOTED ON
01:29:51:00	01:29:52:00	IN SUPPORT OF AND I THINK THAT
01:29:52:00	01:29:55:00	THAT'S THE TYPE OF LEADERSHIP
01:29:55:00	01:29:56:00	THAT THIS MOMENT IS ASKING FOR.
01:29:56:00	01:29:57:00	AND SO I AM GOING TO ASK MY
01:29:57:00	01:30:00:00	COLLEAGUES TO ALLOW US TO TAKE
01:30:00:00	01:30:00:00	A VOTE.
01:30:00:00	01:30:01:00	THANK YOU AND THANK YOU GUYS
01:30:01:00	01:30:03:00	FOR MEJIA FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP

01:30:08:00	01:30:11:00	I DO WANT TO SAY I DIDN'T KNOW
01:30:11:00	01:30:11:00	THAT WE WERE GOING TO PULL OUT
01:30:11:00	01:30:14:00	OF ORDER AND I DID HAVE DOCKET
01:30:14:00	01:30:18:00	0616 WHICH I THINK WOULD HAVE
01:30:18:00	01:30:19:00	WENT NICELY BEFORE THIS BUT WE

01:31:38:00	01:31:42:00	THE DIGNITY NOT DEPORT HAITIANS
01:31:42:00	01:31:43:00	ACT IN THE STATE LEGISLATOR IN
01:31:43:00	01:31:46:00	ONCE THESE BILLS ARE ENACTED
01:31:46:00	01:31:47:00	INTO LAW, THE CITY CAN REVISIT
01:31:47:00	01:31:47:00	THIS RESOLUTION TO ENSURE
01:31:47:00	01:31:50:00	ALIGNMENT WITH STATE
01:31:50:00	01:31:50:00	LEGISLATION.
01:31:50:00	01:31:51:00	THIS APPROACH, I BELIEVE,
01:31:51:00	01:31:54:00	ENSURES THAT THE COUNCIL'S
01:31:54:00	01:31:54:00	ACTIONS ARE LEGALLY SOUND AND
01:31:54:00	01:31:55:00	EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT OUR
01:31:55:00	01:31:58:00	IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN
01:31:58:00	01:32:01:00	ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT LAWS.
01:32:01:00	01:32:05:00	THAT BEING SAID, I DO THINK
01:32:05:00	01:32:06:00	WHAT'S BEING BOLD IS WHEN YOU
01:32:06:00	01:32:08:00	STAND UP AND YOU ASK TO PAUSE
01:32:08:00	01:32:09:00	AND YOU ASK FOR MORE
01:32:09:00	01:32:09:00	INFORMATION.
01:32:09:00	01:32:13:00	BUT I DO UNDERSTAND FROM THE
01:32:13:00	01:32:14:00	SCRAMBLING THAT WENT ON AS THE
01:32:14:00	01:32:17:00	COUNCIL MEETING STARTED I MANY
01:32:17:00	01:32:17:00	PEOPLE FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT
01:32:17:00	01:32:21:00	GOING TO A VOTE AND SO I'M NOT
01:32:21:00	01:32:21:00	GOING TO BLOCK THIS.
01:32:21:00	01:32:22:00	I WILL ALLOW IT TO GO FOR A
01:32:22:00	01:32:24:00	VOTE.
01:32:24:00	01:32:25:00	BUT MY PLAN IS TO REFILE THIS
01:32:25:00	01:32:28:00	AS A HEARING ORDER BECAUSE I
01:32:28:00	01:32:29:00	KNOW THAT MATTERS IF THEY'RE
01:32:29:00	01:32:32:00	FILED IN DIFFERENT FORMS CAN BE
01:32:32:00	01:32:32:00	REVISITED.
01:32:32:00	01:32:35:00	SO LIKE I SAID, I FILED DOCKET
01:32:35:00	01:32:36:00	0616 WHICH I THOUGHT WAS GOING
01:32:36:00	01:32:38:00	TO COME UP FIRST BECAUSE IT WAS
01:32:38:00	01:32:39:00	IN THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA TO
01:32:39:00	01:32:41:00	DISCUSS AND ESTABLISH
01:32:41:00	01:32:42:00	GUIDELINES FOR THE FILING AND
01:32:42:00	01:32:45:00	ADOPTION OF COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS
01:32:45:00	01:32:46:00	IN THIS RESOLUTION I THINK IS A
01:32:46:00	01:32:49:00	VERY CLEAR EXAMPLE.
01:32:49:00	01:32:49:00	I BELIEVE THAT THIS BODY
01:32:49:00	01:32:50:00	DESERVES ALL THE INFORMATION IT
01:32:50:00	01:32:53:00	CAN GET ON ALL MATTERS.
01:32:53:00	01:32:53:00	SO I WILL REFILE THIS
01:32:53:00	01:32:54:00	RESOLUTION AS A HEARING ORDER.
01:32:54:00	01:32:57:00	THE COUNCIL MEETING I BELIEVE
01:32:57:00	01:32:58:00	IS NOT THE TIME TO DISCUSS AND
01:32:58:00	01:33:01:00	ASK QUESTIONS.
01:33:01:00	01:33:02:00	A HEARING IS THE PLACE AND AS
01:33:02:00	01:33:04:00	WE KNOW WE'VE HAD SEVERAL
01:33:04:00	01:33:05:00	COUNCIL MEETINGS THAT HAVE GONE
01:33:05:00	01:33:06:00	LATE INTO THE NIGHT BECAUSE
01:33:06:00	01:33:08:00	WE'VE BEEN HAVING EXTENDED
01:33:08:00	01:33:09:00	CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THINGS I DO
01:33:09:00	01:33:12:00	BELIEVE SHOULD BE IN THE
01:33:12:00	01:33:12:00	HEARING SETTING.
01:33:12:00	01:33:16:00	I ALSO WANT TO SAY AND I DON'T
01:33:16:00	01:33:17:00	I WILL NEVER VOTE PRESENT I
01:33:17:00	01:33:19:00	DON'T WANT TO TAKE A PRESENT
01:33:19:00	01:33:20:00	VOTE EVER.
01:33:20:00	01:33:23:00	I DO THINK WE'VE BEEN ELECTED
01:33:23:00	01:33:24:00	TO TAKE HARD VOTES BUT MY NO
01:33:24:00	01:33:27:00	VOTE TODAY ON THIS IS THAT I'M
01:33:27:00	01:33:27:00	GOING TO WAIT TILL I HAVE ALL
01:33:27:00	01:33:30:00	THE INFORMATION I NEED TO MAKE
01:33:30:00	01:33:31:00	A SOUND AND EDUCATED DECISION
01:33:31:00	01:33:34:00	ON THIS AND AT THAT POINT AFTER
01:33:34:00	01:33:35:00	THE HEARING HAPPENS AND I LEARN
01:33:35:00	01:33:35:00	MORE AND I FOLLOW CLOSELY
01:33:35:00	01:33:38:00	WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE STATE
01:33:38:00	01:33:39:00	LEVEL, I CAN THEN SHARE WITH
01:33:39:00	01:33:42:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON HOW I FEEL
01:33:42:00	01:33:43:00	ABOUT IT.
01:33:43:00	01:33:44:00	BUT A NO VOTE TODAY IS NOT THAT
01:33:44:00	01:33:46:00	I'M AGAINST IT OR THAT I HAVE
01:33:46:00	01:33:47:00	AN OPINION YET THAT I COULD
01:33:47:00	01:33:50:00	FORM TO MAKE A SOUND DECISION.
01:33:50:00	01:33:50:00	IT'S SAYING NO THAT I DON'T
01:33:50:00	01:33:53:00	THINK IT SHOULD GO TO A VOTE.
01:33:53:00	01:33:54:00	BUT I DO KNOW FROM THE
01:33:54:00	01:33:54:00	CONVERSATIONS THAT SOME PEOPLE
01:33:54:00	01:33:57:00	ARE HAVING THAT THEY REALLY
01:33:57:00	01:33:58:00	WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND I
01:33:58:00	01:33:58:00	KNOW WE'VE HAD THAT
01:33:58:00	01:33:59:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT EDDIE
01:33:59:00	01:34:01:00	CRISPIN.
01:34:01:00	01:34:02:00	WE HAD THE CONVERSATION ABOUT
01:34:02:00	01:34:02:00	THE DYING LIBRARIAN WHO'S JUST
01:34:02:00	01:34:06:00	ASKING FOR SICK DAYS AND MANY
01:34:06:00	01:34:06:00	PEOPLE VOTED PRESENT BECAUSE
01:34:06:00	01:34:09:00	THEY FELT THAT IT WASN'T OUR
01:34:09:00	01:34:10:00	PLACE LEGALLY TO WEIGH IN.
01:34:10:00	01:34:13:00	SO I DO JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR
01:34:13:00	01:34:14:00	THAT'S WHERE I'M WHAT I'M GOING
01:34:14:00	01:34:14:00	TO BE DOING TODAY.
01:34:14:00	01:34:17:00	THANK YOU.
01:34:17:00	01:34:17:00	THANK YOU.
01:34:17:00	01:34:18:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:34:18:00	01:34:18:00	COUNCILOR WEBER ACTUALLY
01:34:18:00	01:34:19:00	COMFORTABLY HASN'T SPOKEN
01:34:19:00	01:34:23:00	CAMERA PLENTY ON THE FLOOR.
01:34:23:00	01:34:26:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:34:26:00	01:34:27:00	BEFORE I BEGIN MY COMMENTS, I
01:34:27:00	01:34:30:00	DO WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO BE
01:34:30:00	01:34:30:00	DISAGREEABLE TO MY COLLEAGUES.
01:34:30:00	01:34:31:00	I DON'T WANT TO BE
01:34:31:00	01:34:34:00	DISRESPECTFUL TO MY COLLEAGUES.
01:34:34:00	01:34:35:00	I RESPECTFULLY HAVE A
01:34:35:00	01:34:38:00	DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON THE
01:34:38:00	01:34:42:00	PROCESS SO I HOPE WE DON'T TAKE
01:34:42:00	01:34:43:00	THIS AS AS ANY WAY THAT I'M
01:34:43:00	01:34:49:00	BEING DISAGREEABLE WITH ANYBODY
01:34:49:00	01:34:49:00	LIKE OUR COLLEAGUES HERE.
01:34:49:00	01:34:53:00	I SUPPORT IMMIGRANTS IN SEARCH
01:34:53:00	01:34:54:00	OF A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES
01:34:54:00	01:34:54:00	AND THE FAMILY.
01:34:54:00	01:34:57:00	I'M ALSO PROUD OF MY FAMILY'S
01:34:57:00	01:35:00:00	COMMITMENT LONG TIME COMMITMENT
01:35:00:00	01:35:01:00	TO SUPPORTING IMMIGRANTS IN THE
01:35:01:00	01:35:01:00	CITY.
01:35:01:00	01:35:04:00	THE FACT THE IMMIGRANT GATEWAY
01:35:04:00	01:35:08:00	MEMORIAL WAS ENACTED BY MY
01:35:08:00	01:35:11:00	FATHER, MAYOR FLYNN AS WELL AS
01:35:11:00	01:35:12:00	THE IMMIGRATION RIGHTS UNIT NOW
01:35:12:00	01:35:12:00	EXPANDED TO THE OFFICE
01:35:12:00	01:35:17:00	OF IMMIGRANT ADVANCEMENT TODAY
01:35:17:00	01:35:18:00	I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE
01:35:18:00	01:35:21:00	THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN IN MY
01:35:21:00	01:35:21:00	OPINION ONLY I'M NOT
01:35:21:00	01:35:25:00	CRITICIZING ANYONE BUT IN MY
01:35:25:00	01:35:25:00	OPINION ONLY I WOULD LIKE TO
01:35:25:00	01:35:27:00	LEARN MORE ABOUT THE AND AT
01:35:27:00	01:35:28:00	LEAST FIVE PIECES
01:35:28:00	01:35:29:00	OF LEGISLATION BEFORE VOTING ON
01:35:29:00	01:35:31:00	IT.
01:35:31:00	01:35:32:00	I THINK I THINK MYSELF I WOULD
01:35:32:00	01:35:36:00	LIKE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION
01:35:36:00	01:35:36:00	HERE AND LEARN THAT'S HOW I
01:35:36:00	01:35:42:00	BECOME A BETTER CITY COUNCILOR.
01:35:42:00	01:35:43:00	I'M UNSURE IF A HEARING OR
01:35:43:00	01:35:47:00	HEARINGS HAVE BEEN HELD YET AT
01:35:47:00	01:35:47:00	THE STATE HOUSE AND I'M NOT
01:35:47:00	01:35:51:00	GOING TO ASK THAT QUESTION OR
01:35:51:00	01:35:51:00	TWO TO THE MAKERS JUST BECAUSE
01:35:51:00	01:35:54:00	I DON'T I UNDERSTAND THE
01:35:54:00	01:35:58:00	PROCESS THE IT SHOULD BE HELD
01:35:58:00	01:35:59:00	IN THE COMMITTEE AND I DON'T
01:35:59:00	01:36:01:00	WANT TO GET INTO A BACK AND
01:36:01:00	01:36:05:00	FORTH SO I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
01:36:05:00	01:36:05:00	INFORMATION ON THAT.
01:36:05:00	01:36:09:00	THIS LEGISLATION IN MY OPINION
01:36:09:00	01:36:10:00	ONLY IT WILL IMPACT BOSTON
01:36:10:00	01:36:13:00	RESIDENTS AND CITY DEPARTMENTS.
01:36:13:00	01:36:16:00	WHAT CITY DEPARTMENTS COULD
01:36:16:00	01:36:17:00	THEY IMPACT?
01:36:17:00	01:36:20:00	CERTAINLY THE BOSTON SCHOOLS,
01:36:20:00	01:36:20:00	THE BOSTON POLICE, THE LAW
01:36:20:00	01:36:23:00	DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF IMMIGRANT
01:36:23:00	01:36:24:00	ADVANCEMENT, THE BUDGET
01:36:24:00	01:36:24:00	DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
01:36:24:00	01:36:28:00	MANAGEMENT, SHEILA DOLAN'S
01:36:28:00	01:36:28:00	HOUSING DEPARTMENT.
01:36:28:00	01:36:32:00	I HIGHLIGHT THAT BECAUSE IF WE
01:36:32:00	01:36:36:00	DID HAVE A HEARING IT WOULD I
01:36:36:00	01:36:37:00	WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FROM SOME
01:36:37:00	01:36:40:00	OF THE DEPARTMENT HEADS WHAT
01:36:40:00	01:36:40:00	IMPACT THIS WOULD HAVE ON
01:36:40:00	01:36:44:00	HOUSING WHAT IMPACT WOULD THIS
01:36:44:00	01:36:44:00	HAVE ON SOCIAL SERVICES?
01:36:44:00	01:36:48:00	I SUPPORT THAT BUT I STILL
01:36:48:00	01:36:48:00	WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE IMPACT
01:36:48:00	01:36:51:00	IT HAS AS WELL.
01:36:51:00	01:36:52:00	AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO BE
01:36:52:00	01:36:55:00	DISAGREEABLE.
01:36:55:00	01:36:55:00	I DON'T WANT TO BE
01:36:55:00	01:36:55:00	DISRESPECTFUL.
01:36:55:00	01:36:58:00	I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M
01:36:58:00	01:36:59:00	DOING THE BEST I CAN ON BEHALF
01:36:59:00	01:36:59:00	OF MY CONSTITUENTS.
01:36:59:00	01:37:04:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:37:04:00	01:37:04:00	THANK YOU.

01:37:10:00	01:37:10:00	FLOOR.

01:37:13:00	01:37:14:00	FIRST I JUST WANT TO THANK OUR
01:37:14:00	01:37:15:00	SERVER HERE AND
01:37:15:00	01:37:17:00	COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE FOR BEING
01:37:17:00	01:37:17:00	PART OF THE ORGANIZING FOR
01:37:17:00	01:37:20:00	TODAY'S RALLY OUTSIDE OF CITY
01:37:20:00	01:37:20:00	HALL.
01:37:20:00	01:37:21:00	I WAS PROUD TO STAND WITH YOU
01:37:21:00	01:37:24:00	AND I HEAR AND RESPECT THE
01:37:24:00	01:37:24:00	POINTS FROM COUNCILOR MURPHY
01:37:24:00	01:37:28:00	AND COUNCILOR FLYNN.
01:37:28:00	01:37:29:00	BUT THERE'S A BIGGER MESSAGE
01:37:29:00	01:37:31:00	HERE THERE'S A FAR BIGGER
01:37:31:00	01:37:32:00	MESSAGE HERE THAT HAS TO DO NOW
01:37:32:00	01:37:35:00	WITH LAW NOT WITH WHAT'S GOING
01:37:35:00	01:37:36:00	TO HAPPEN OR WHAT'S ALREADY
01:37:36:00	01:37:36:00	HAPPENING.
01:37:36:00	01:37:39:00	IT'S ABOUT THE MESSAGE THAT
01:37:39:00	01:37:40:00	WE'RE HEARING FROM WASHINGTON
01:37:40:00	01:37:43:00	DC TOWARDS PEOPLE THAT
01:37:43:00	01:37:43:00	UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT SPEAK FOR
01:37:43:00	01:37:44:00	THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH
01:37:44:00	01:37:49:00	THEY'RE SCARED WE KNOW THAT
01:37:49:00	01:37:53:00	YES, WHEN WE MIGHT BE VOTING ON
01:37:53:00	01:37:54:00	SOMETHING TODAY THAT IT'S STATE
01:37:54:00	01:37:56:00	LAW OR FEDERAL LAW AT THE END
01:37:56:00	01:37:57:00	OF THE DAY THE PEOPLE OF BOSTON
01:37:57:00	01:37:57:00	ARE SUFFERING.
01:37:57:00	01:38:00:00	WE HAVE SO MANY IMMIGRANTS THAT
01:38:00:00	01:38:01:00	RUN THIS CITY THAT MAKE THIS
01:38:01:00	01:38:04:00	CITY'S PROUD.
01:38:04:00	01:38:05:00	THIS CITY WAS BUILT ON
01:38:05:00	01:38:05:00	IMMIGRATION.
01:38:05:00	01:38:08:00	THERE'S A PLAQUE OUTSIDE BY
01:38:08:00	01:38:09:00	MAYOR FLYNN THAT SAYS THAT THIS
01:38:09:00	01:38:12:00	CITY WAS BUILT BY IMMIGRANTS.
01:38:12:00	01:38:13:00	WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE PROUD
01:38:13:00	01:38:16:00	OF THAT AND WE KNOW THAT WHAT'S
01:38:16:00	01:38:19:00	HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN THE
01:38:19:00	01:38:22:00	PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION WE
01:38:22:00	01:38:23:00	CAN SEE THAT AS SAINT AUGUSTINE
01:38:23:00	01:38:27:00	SAID, AN UNJUST LAW IS NO LAW
01:38:27:00	01:38:30:00	AT ALL AND I THINK THAT IT'S
01:38:30:00	01:38:31:00	OUR JOB TO STAND UP FOR THOSE
01:38:31:00	01:38:32:00	PEOPLE THAT ARE SUFFERING RIGHT
01:38:32:00	01:38:35:00	NOW, TO STAND FOR THE PEOPLE
01:38:35:00	01:38:38:00	THAT ARE SCARED AND TO CLARIFY
01:38:38:00	01:38:39:00	THAT IT ISN'T WHEN IT'S NOT
01:38:39:00	01:38:39:00	JUST THE FOLKS THAT GOT HERE
01:38:39:00	01:38:42:00	LAST YEAR OR TWO YEARS AGO ON

01:39:27:00	01:39:31:00	I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE
01:39:31:00	01:39:31:00	COUNCILOR PEPEN THAT THIS IS A
01:39:31:00	01:39:34:00	REALLY RESOLUTION.

01:39:38:00	01:39:38:00	A RESOLUTION.

01:39:45:00	01:39:45:00	IT'S A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
01:39:45:00	01:39:46:00	ISSUE.
01:39:46:00	01:39:48:00	IT'S ABOUT HUMAN DIGNITY AND
01:39:48:00	01:39:49:00	HUMAN RIGHTS.

01:40:03:00	01:40:04:00	OFFICE WITHOUT FEAR.

01:43:48:00	01:43:51:00	IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS.
01:43:51:00	01:43:51:00	EAST BOSTON HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
01:43:51:00	01:43:52:00	WELCOMING AND INCLUSIVE
01:43:52:00	01:43:54:00	NEIGHBORHOOD OF IMMIGRANTS.
01:43:54:00	01:43:55:00	WE WERE CONSIDERED BOSTON'S
01:43:55:00	01:43:58:00	ELLIS ISLAND WELCOMING

01:44:14:00	01:44:17:00	LAST COUNCIL MEETING WAS AT
01:44:17:00	01:44:18:00	LAST WEEK I HAD TALKED ABOUT
01:44:18:00	01:44:21:00	HOW I WAS GRIEVING OF THE
01:44:21:00	01:44:25:00	REGRESSION OF OF CERTAIN ISSUES
01:44:25:00	01:44:28:00	IN THIS SOCIETY IN THIS COUNTRY
01:44:28:00	01:44:28:00	.
01:44:28:00	01:44:29:00	I THINK LIKE EVEN IN THIS
01:44:29:00	01:44:30:00	CHAMBER I AM SEEING SOME
01:44:30:00	01:44:32:00	REGRESSION THAT MAKES ME SAD
01:44:32:00	01:44:36:00	AND I THINK THOSE THAT ARE
01:44:36:00	01:44:40:00	LISTENING IN SHOULD DEMAND FROM
01:44:40:00	01:44:40:00	THEIR LOCAL ELECTED LEADERS

01:44:51:00	01:44:54:00	ENSURE POLICIES THAT ENSURE
01:44:54:00	01:44:55:00	SAFETY, DIGNITY, RESPECT,
01:44:55:00	01:44:59:00	JUSTICE AND THIS IS A SYMBOLIC
01:44:59:00	01:44:59:00	VOTE BUT IT MEANS A LOT
01:44:59:00	01:45:02:00	ESPECIALLY IN THIS MOMENT IN
01:45:02:00	01:45:02:00	TIME.
01:45:02:00	01:45:03:00	SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING

01:45:10:00	01:45:11:00	THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND I'LL LEAVE

01:45:17:00	01:45:20:00	THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:45:20:00	01:45:21:00	NOT SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD
01:45:21:00	01:45:23:00	BUT I WANT TO BEGIN BY MAKING
01:45:23:00	01:45:24:00	ONE THING CLEAR I RECOGNIZE THE
01:45:24:00	01:45:27:00	IMMENSE CONTRIBUTIONS OF OUR
01:45:27:00	01:45:27:00	IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES TO
01:45:27:00	01:45:27:00	BOSTON.
01:45:27:00	01:45:28:00	THEY ARE OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR
01:45:28:00	01:45:31:00	WORKFORCE AND AN INTEGRAL PART
01:45:31:00	01:45:32:00	OF THE FABRIC OF THE CITY AT A
01:45:32:00	01:45:35:00	TIME WHEN IMMIGRATION POLICIES
01:45:35:00	01:45:35:00	AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL ARE
01:45:35:00	01:45:36:00	FAILING AND IN MANY CASES
01:45:36:00	01:45:39:00	OUTRIGHT HARMFUL.
01:45:39:00	01:45:39:00	I UNDERSTAND WHY WE MUST ACT AT
01:45:39:00	01:45:40:00	THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL TO
01:45:40:00	01:45:43:00	PROVIDE PROTECTIONS AND
01:45:43:00	01:45:43:00	RESOURCES.
01:45:43:00	01:45:43:00	THE ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THIS
01:45:43:00	01:45:46:00	RESOLUTION TODAY ARE COMPLEX
01:45:46:00	01:45:47:00	AND THEY DESERVE A THOROUGH AND
01:45:47:00	01:45:50:00	TRANSPARENT PUBLIC DISCUSSION.
01:45:50:00	01:45:51:00	I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MURPHY
01:45:51:00	01:45:52:00	THAT THOUGHTFUL POLICY MAKING
01:45:52:00	01:45:54:00	REQUIRES DILIGENCE AND I
01:45:54:00	01:45:55:00	BELIEVE THAT MOVING THIS TO A
01:45:55:00	01:45:56:00	HEARING WOULD ALLOW US TO
01:45:56:00	01:45:59:00	ENGAGE IN A MORE MEANINGFUL
01:45:59:00	01:45:59:00	DIALOG THAT LEADS TO THE
01:45:59:00	01:46:02:00	STRONGEST AND MORE EFFECTIVE
01:46:02:00	01:46:02:00	ACTION.
01:46:02:00	01:46:03:00	FOR ME, MOVING THIS TO
01:46:03:00	01:46:06:00	COMMITTEE IS AND HAVING A
01:46:06:00	01:46:07:00	HEARING IS NOT ABOUT OPPOSITION
01:46:07:00	01:46:09:00	OR DELAY.
01:46:09:00	01:46:10:00	IT'S ABOUT ENSURING WE TAKE THE
01:46:10:00	01:46:11:00	TIME TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE
01:46:11:00	01:46:14:00	LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND PUBLIC
01:46:14:00	01:46:15:00	SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THESE
01:46:15:00	01:46:17:00	POLICIES.
01:46:17:00	01:46:18:00	IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE WE HEAR
01:46:18:00	01:46:19:00	FROM ALL STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING
01:46:19:00	01:46:21:00	THOSE DIRECTLY.
01:46:21:00	01:46:22:00	BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, I
01:46:22:00	01:46:26:00	APPRECIATE THE URGENCY OF THIS
01:46:26:00	01:46:26:00	SITUATION AND QUITE HONESTLY I
01:46:26:00	01:46:27:00	LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF MY
01:46:27:00	01:46:29:00	FRIEND COUNCILOR PEPEN IN
01:46:29:00	01:46:30:00	VOTING WITH MORALITY AND IT
01:46:30:00	01:46:33:00	APPEARS TO ME THAT THE WILL
01:46:33:00	01:46:34:00	OF THE MAJORITY OF THIS PARTY
01:46:34:00	01:46:34:00	IS THAT WE MOVE FORWARD ON A
01:46:34:00	01:46:37:00	VOTE TODAY I WILL VOTE YES ON A
01:46:37:00	01:46:38:00	RESOLUTION THIS RESOLUTION.
01:46:38:00	01:46:41:00	HOWEVER, I DO ENCOURAGE ALL IN
01:46:41:00	01:46:42:00	ALL FUTURE RESOLUTIONS AS WELL
01:46:42:00	01:46:44:00	AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
01:46:44:00	01:46:44:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY'S LATER
01:46:44:00	01:46:45:00	HEARING FOR A ABOUT HOW WE USE
01:46:45:00	01:46:48:00	RESOLUTIONS ON THE EDUCATION
01:46:48:00	01:46:49:00	PRIOR RATHER THAN ASKING US AS
01:46:49:00	01:46:52:00	A BODY TO VOTE ON SOMETHING
01:46:52:00	01:46:53:00	THAT IS NOT FULLY VETTED OR
01:46:53:00	01:46:54:00	THAT WE MAY NOT FULLY
01:46:54:00	01:46:56:00	UNDERSTAND AND COMPLETELY AS
01:46:56:00	01:46:57:00	THE MAYBE THE MAKERS OF THE
01:46:57:00	01:47:00:00	RESOLUTION FOR US TO VOTE ON
01:47:00:00	01:47:00:00	IT.
01:47:00:00	01:47:01:00	I'M TRYING TO AVOID THAT
01:47:01:00	01:47:04:00	SITUATION AND IN THE FUTURE AND
01:47:04:00	01:47:05:00	AGAIN, I JUST REALLY HOPE THAT
01:47:05:00	01:47:08:00	WHATEVER RESULT OF THE VOTE IS
01:47:08:00	01:47:09:00	TODAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE
01:47:09:00	01:47:11:00	A HEARING ON IT AND DISCUSS
01:47:11:00	01:47:12:00	THIS BECAUSE THIS TOPIC IS
01:47:12:00	01:47:13:00	COMPLEX AND IT WILL NEED MORE
01:47:13:00	01:47:15:00	CONVERSATION, MORE
01:47:15:00	01:47:16:00	THOUGHTFULNESS ON HOW WE AS THE
01:47:16:00	01:47:18:00	CITY ALIGN WITH BOTH THE STATE
01:47:18:00	01:47:19:00	AND FEDERAL POLICIES AND HOW WE
01:47:19:00	01:47:20:00	CAN BEST HELP FOLKS MOVING
01:47:20:00	01:47:20:00	FORWARD.
01:47:20:00	01:47:24:00	THANK YOU.

01:47:28:00	01:47:31:00	GOING TO BE THAT PEOPLE FEEL IS
01:47:31:00	01:47:32:00	GOING TO BE AN ISSUE TO ALWAYS
01:47:32:00	01:47:34:00	TALK TO YOUR COLLEAGUES.

01:47:38:00	01:47:39:00	PEOPLE ARE AS INFORMED AS
01:47:39:00	01:47:39:00	POSSIBLE.

01:47:50:00	01:47:50:00	MY COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR
01:47:50:00	01:47:50:00	COMMENTS.
01:47:50:00	01:47:53:00	YOU KNOW, I THINK COUNSELOR
01:47:53:00	01:47:54:00	MURPHY IS ACCURATE.
01:47:54:00	01:47:57:00	THESE ARE EARLY DAYS ON THESE
01:47:57:00	01:48:01:00	STATE LAWS THAT ARE BEING
01:48:01:00	01:48:02:00	PROPOSED, BUT I THINK A
01:48:02:00	01:48:05:00	RESOLUTION IS APPROPRIATE WHERE
01:48:05:00	01:48:08:00	WE'RE SUPPORTING THEIR YOU KNOW
01:48:08:00	01:48:09:00	, THESE KINDS OF POLICIES AS
01:48:09:00	01:48:11:00	THEY GET PUSHED FORWARD AND
01:48:11:00	01:48:12:00	HELP OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES
01:48:12:00	01:48:16:00	MAKE THE ARGUMENT FOR WHY THIS
01:48:16:00	01:48:16:00	IS NEEDED.
01:48:16:00	01:48:17:00	I THINK IT'S PERFECTLY
01:48:17:00	01:48:19:00	APPROPRIATE WE'RE DOING IT
01:48:19:00	01:48:19:00	HERE.
01:48:19:00	01:48:20:00	I'M NOT EVEN SURE WE WANT TO
01:48:20:00	01:48:23:00	HAVE A HEARING ON WHAT'S
01:48:23:00	01:48:24:00	HAPPENING IN THE STATE HOUSE.
01:48:24:00	01:48:25:00	RATHER I THINK YOU KNOW, AS A
01:48:25:00	01:48:28:00	BODY WE SHOULD BE WE SHOULD BE
01:48:28:00	01:48:28:00	MAKING THE CASE FOR WHY WE WANT
01:48:28:00	01:48:31:00	TO SEE THIS WITH OUR STATE
01:48:31:00	01:48:31:00	REPRESENTATIVES.
01:48:31:00	01:48:32:00	EITHER WAY, I LOOK FORWARD TO
01:48:32:00	01:48:33:00	WORKING WITH ALL MY COLLEAGUES
01:48:33:00	01:48:35:00	ON THIS ISSUE WHICH I THINK WE
01:48:35:00	01:48:36:00	AGREE IS VERY IMPORTANT
01:48:36:00	01:48:39:00	ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME.
01:48:39:00	01:48:40:00	SO I'LL LEAVE IT TO

01:48:54:00	01:48:55:00	PRIOR TO TODAY'S MEETING, NOT
01:48:55:00	01:48:55:00	JUST BEFORE THE MEETING
01:48:55:00	01:48:55:00	STARTED.

01:49:10:00	01:49:12:00	MAY NOT BE PART OF THE
01:49:12:00	01:49:13:00	CONVERSATION THAT YOU WANT TO
01:49:13:00	01:49:13:00	BE HAVING TODAY THAT THERE WILL
01:49:13:00	01:49:15:00	BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
01:49:15:00	01:49:16:00	CONVERSATIONS TO CONTINUE
01:49:16:00	01:49:20:00	REGARDING ISSUES OF SAFETY AND
01:49:20:00	01:49:23:00	HOW WE SUPPORT OUR IMMIGRANT
01:49:23:00	01:49:24:00	COMMUNITY SO YOUR VOICES STILL
01:49:24:00	01:49:27:00	CAN BE HEARD IN A DIFFERENT
01:49:27:00	01:49:27:00	SPACE.
01:49:27:00	01:49:28:00	SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
01:49:28:00	01:49:31:00	THAT AND I'M GOING TO RISE
01:49:31:00	01:49:34:00	AGAIN AND THANK MY COLLEAGUES
01:49:34:00	01:49:38:00	FOR NOT BLOCKING US AND GIVING
01:49:38:00	01:49:39:00	US THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON
01:49:39:00	01:49:39:00	SOMETHING THAT WE ALL DEEPLY
01:49:39:00	01:49:42:00	CARE ABOUT.
01:49:42:00	01:49:43:00	AND YOU KNOW I WOULD NOT BE
01:49:43:00	01:49:44:00	COUNCILWOMAN HERE IF I'M NOT
01:49:44:00	01:49:47:00	ALWAYS THE ONE THAT IS GOING TO
01:49:47:00	01:49:47:00	SAY SOME THAT MAY MAKE PEOPLE
01:49:47:00	01:49:50:00	FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
01:49:50:00	01:49:50:00	BUT THAT'S WHAT I DO IS THAT
01:49:50:00	01:49:53:00	THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS IS
01:49:53:00	01:49:54:00	THAT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT
01:49:54:00	01:49:54:00	ISSUES OF THIS PARTICULAR
01:49:54:00	01:49:57:00	SITUATION OFTEN IT IS
01:49:57:00	01:49:58:00	IMMIGRANTS OF COLOR THAT ARE
01:49:58:00	01:50:00:00	UNDER ATTACK RIGHT NOW AND I
01:50:00:00	01:50:01:00	THINK IT IS EASIER FOR US TO
01:50:01:00	01:50:05:00	STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR
01:50:05:00	01:50:05:00	IMMIGRANTS WHEN IT FEELS LESS
01:50:05:00	01:50:09:00	CONTROVERSIAL.
01:50:09:00	01:50:09:00	ALL RIGHT.
01:50:09:00	01:50:10:00	AND RIGHT NOW I'M HERE TO SPEAK
01:50:10:00	01:50:13:00	UNAPOLOGETICALLY FOR IMMIGRANTS
01:50:13:00	01:50:14:00	RIGHT NOW WHO ARE UNDER ATTACK
01:50:14:00	01:50:14:00	AND THOSE ARE HAITIANS,
01:50:14:00	01:50:16:00	VENEZUELANS YOU KNOW,
01:50:16:00	01:50:17:00	DOMINICANS LIKE IMMIGRANTS
01:50:17:00	01:50:21:00	OF COLOR AND WE NEED TO
01:50:21:00	01:50:22:00	DEMONSTRATE TO THEM THAT WE ARE
01:50:22:00	01:50:22:00	HERE FOR THEM.
01:50:22:00	01:50:25:00	SO I'M GOING TO ASK MY
01:50:25:00	01:50:28:00	COLLEAGUES AGAIN WHEN WE SAY WE
01:50:28:00	01:50:29:00	WANT TO FIGHT FOR PEOPLE, THIS
01:50:29:00	01:50:29:00	IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
01:50:29:00	01:50:32:00	DEMONSTRATE WHAT FIGHT LOOKS
01:50:32:00	01:50:32:00	LIKE.
01:50:32:00	01:50:33:00	SO I'M LOOKING FOR A
01:50:33:00	01:50:36:00	OVERWHELMINGLY UNANIMOUS VOTE
01:50:36:00	01:50:37:00	ON THIS RESOLUTION AND THEN I'M
01:50:37:00	01:50:41:00	ALSO LOOKING TO ALL OF YOU TO
01:50:41:00	01:50:43:00	SHOW UP ON MARCH THE 10TH WHEN
01:50:43:00	01:50:44:00	WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
01:50:44:00	01:50:44:00	CHOICE THAT THANK YOU.
01:50:44:00	01:50:45:00	THANK YOU.
01:50:45:00	01:50:47:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:50:47:00	01:50:47:00	COUNCILOR FERNANDA ANDERSON.
01:50:47:00	01:50:48:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:50:48:00	01:50:50:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:50:50:00	01:50:54:00	I THINK THE ISSUE IS BIGGER
01:50:54:00	01:50:54:00	THAN THAN THAN MUNICIPAL LEVEL
01:50:54:00	01:50:58:00	THAN US RIGHT TO
01:50:58:00	01:51:01:00	COUNCILOR MCGEE IS POINT WHEN
01:51:01:00	01:51:02:00	IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION
01:51:02:00	01:51:05:00	EUROPEANS COME IN THE SAME WITH
01:51:05:00	01:51:06:00	THE SAME STATUS AS AN AFRICAN
01:51:06:00	01:51:09:00	OR INDIAN OR SOUTH AMERICAN
01:51:09:00	01:51:14:00	THEY TYPICALLY HAVE TO CROSS
01:51:14:00	01:51:17:00	OVER BECAUSE THE LOTTERY
01:51:17:00	01:51:21:00	NUMBERS ARE VASTLY INEQUITABLE
01:51:21:00	01:51:21:00	.
01:51:21:00	01:51:22:00	SO EUROPEANS ARE ALLOWED MORE
01:51:22:00	01:51:24:00	WITH VISAS IN LONG TERM
01:51:24:00	01:51:25:00	PERMANENT STATUSES AND WHEN
01:51:25:00	01:51:28:00	THEY COME IN THEY ALREADY HAVE
01:51:28:00	01:51:29:00	THEIR STATUS AND SO THEY DON'T
01:51:29:00	01:51:32:00	FACE THE SAME TYPICAL ISSUES
01:51:32:00	01:51:35:00	THAT FOLKS OF COLOR WOULD.
01:51:35:00	01:51:36:00	AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE
01:51:36:00	01:51:39:00	FACING IMMIGRATION ISSUES, THE
01:51:39:00	01:51:40:00	VAST MAJORITY ARE BLACK AND
01:51:40:00	01:51:43:00	BROWN AND SO THE IMMIGRANT
01:51:43:00	01:51:47:00	POPULATION THEN BECOMES SORT
01:51:47:00	01:51:50:00	OF NOTED OR KNOWN AS KNOW
01:51:50:00	01:51:51:00	PEOPLE OF COLOR AND NOT SO LIKE
01:51:51:00	01:51:54:00	YOU KNOW, BRAZIL EVERY ANYTHING
01:51:54:00	01:51:55:00	SOUTH AMERICA ANYTHING CENTRAL
01:51:55:00	01:51:58:00	AMERICA, ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE
01:51:58:00	01:52:01:00	BROWN WORLD WHEN THEY COME IN
01:52:01:00	01:52:02:00	IT'S IT'S IT'S EASY FOR US TO
01:52:02:00	01:52:05:00	STAND AND ONE SUPPORT AN ISSUE
01:52:05:00	01:52:09:00	THAT YOU KNOW WE DON'T FEEL
01:52:09:00	01:52:10:00	THIS IS TOO CONTROVERSIAL IT'S
01:52:10:00	01:52:10:00	CONTROVERSIAL BECAUSE IT'S ON
01:52:10:00	01:52:13:00	TV BUT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES
01:52:13:00	01:52:17:00	IN THIS CHAMBER WHERE FOLKS HAD
01:52:17:00	01:52:21:00	A REALLY HARD TIME VOTING ON
01:52:21:00	01:52:24:00	AND THEN YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER
01:52:24:00	01:52:28:00	BACK THEN FOLKS HAVING A A LOT
01:52:28:00	01:52:32:00	OF REASONS WHY THEY WEREN'T
01:52:32:00	01:52:32:00	GOING TO SUPPORT CHILDREN BEING
01:52:32:00	01:52:39:00	BOMBED AND TODAY IT'S EASIER TO
01:52:39:00	01:52:40:00	TALK ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT YOU
01:52:40:00	01:52:43:00	KNOW YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS OR
01:52:43:00	01:52:46:00	SEATS ARE NOT AS COMPROMISED
01:52:46:00	01:52:47:00	AND I JUST WANTED TO EXTEND I
01:52:47:00	01:52:51:00	GUESS GRACE TO ALL OF YOU TO
01:52:51:00	01:52:55:00	SAY THAT SITUATIONS ARE
01:52:55:00	01:52:58:00	DIFFICULT AND EVERYONE IS SORT
01:52:58:00	01:52:59:00	OF IN THIS SELF PRESERVING MODE
01:52:59:00	01:53:02:00	WHERE.

02:01:00:00	02:01:01:00	IMPORTANT IN THESE
02:01:01:00	02:01:03:00	CONVERSATIONS.

02:01:11:00	02:01:15:00	COUNSELOR COLETTA BECAUSE THIS
02:01:15:00	02:01:15:00	IS PERSONAL.
02:01:15:00	02:01:16:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO
02:01:16:00	02:01:19:00	ARE THE BACKBONE OF OUR CITY,
02:01:19:00	02:01:19:00	OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS, OUR
02:01:19:00	02:01:20:00	CHILD CARE PROVIDERS, THE FOLKS
02:01:20:00	02:01:22:00	WHO KEEP OUR RESTAURANTS AND
02:01:22:00	02:01:23:00	SMALL BUSINESSES RUNNING.
02:01:23:00	02:01:27:00	THESE ARE OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR
02:01:27:00	02:01:28:00	FRIENDS AND OUR FAMILY ROLLING
02:01:28:00	02:01:31:00	BACK TPS FOR HAITIANS,
02:01:31:00	02:01:31:00	VENEZUELANS AND SO MANY OTHERS
02:01:31:00	02:01:34:00	IS NOT JUST CRUEL IT IS
02:01:34:00	02:01:34:00	RECKLESS.
02:01:34:00	02:01:35:00	IT PUTS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT
02:01:35:00	02:01:35:00	RISK.
02:01:35:00	02:01:38:00	DEPORTATION PEOPLE WHO HAVE
02:01:38:00	02:01:41:00	BEEN HERE FOR YEARS RAISING

02:01:42:00	02:01:45:00	LOCAL ECONOMY AND BUILDING
02:01:45:00	02:01:46:00	RIGHT HERE IN BOSTON.
02:01:46:00	02:01:49:00	WE CAN'T SIT BACK AND STAY
02:01:49:00	02:01:50:00	QUIET WHILE FEDERAL POLICIES
02:01:50:00	02:01:52:00	THREATEN TO TEAR FAMILIES APART
02:01:52:00	02:01:53:00	AND DESTABILIZE OUR ENTIRE
02:01:53:00	02:01:56:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:01:56:00	02:01:57:00	BOSTON IS A CITY BUILT BY
02:01:57:00	02:02:00:00	IMMIGRANTS AND WE KNOW THAT OUR
02:02:00:00	02:02:01:00	STRENGTH IS IN OUR DIVERSITY
02:02:01:00	02:02:03:00	AND.
02:02:03:00	02:02:04:00	WE'RE GOING TO KEEP SHOWING UP
02:02:04:00	02:02:05:00	TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE NO MATTER
02:02:05:00	02:02:08:00	WHERE THEY COME FROM.
02:02:08:00	02:02:09:00	SO I ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO JOIN
02:02:09:00	02:02:12:00	US IN STANDING UP SPEAKING OUT
02:02:12:00	02:02:12:00	AND SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE

02:02:16:00	02:02:19:00	DEVALUED OR DISRESPECTED.
02:02:19:00	02:02:20:00	AND I THINK THIS IS AN
02:02:20:00	02:02:23:00	OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY UPLIFT
02:02:23:00	02:02:24:00	AND UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF OUR
02:02:24:00	02:02:27:00	MICROPHONE.

02:02:57:00	02:02:59:00	ARTICULATED BY MY COLLEAGUES IN
02:02:59:00	02:03:00:00	THIS WORK BUT I'M PROUD TO BE A

02:03:08:00	02:03:11:00	THESE FOLKS HAVE FLED ARMED
02:03:11:00	02:03:11:00	CONFLICT RISK OF VIOLENT
02:03:11:00	02:03:15:00	PERSECUTION, NATURAL DISASTERS
02:03:15:00	02:03:15:00	AND OTHER HUMANITARIAN CRISES.
02:03:15:00	02:03:18:00	THEY ARE I THINK WE HAVE
02:03:18:00	02:03:22:00	450,000 TPS HOLDERS AND IT IS
02:03:22:00	02:03:23:00	INCUMBENT UPON US TO STAND UP
02:03:23:00	02:03:26:00	FOR THEM IN THE FACE OF THESE
02:03:26:00	02:03:30:00	AGAIN REGRESSIVE POLICIES THAT
02:03:30:00	02:03:30:00	ARE BEING PUT FORTH DOWN IN

02:03:31:00	02:03:33:00	A LOT OF THESE FOLKS IN MY
02:03:33:00	02:03:34:00	DISTRICT ARE COMMUNITY LEADERS

02:03:45:00	02:03:46:00	THEY PAY TAXES.
02:03:46:00	02:03:49:00	I THINK IT'S MISINFORMATION
02:03:49:00	02:03:49:00	THAT'S PUT OUT THERE THAT TPS
02:03:49:00	02:03:52:00	HOLDERS OR IMMIGRANTS DON'T PAY

02:04:26:00	02:04:27:00	FOR HAITIANS AND OTHER
02:04:27:00	02:04:28:00	COMMUNITIES THAT WE HAVE HERE
02:04:28:00	02:04:31:00	IN OUR GREAT CITY.
02:04:31:00	02:04:31:00	THIS RESOLUTION ADDRESSES A
02:04:31:00	02:04:35:00	CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN AN ISSUE

02:04:35:00	02:04:38:00	RESIDENTS IN OUR CITY.
02:04:38:00	02:04:39:00	I KNOW I'VE SHARED THIS STORY
02:04:39:00	02:04:42:00	BEFORE BUT I HAVE VISITED HAITI
02:04:42:00	02:04:43:00	TWICE IN THE SEVENTIES I HAD A
02:04:43:00	02:04:43:00	FAMILY MEMBER WHO WAS AN
02:04:43:00	02:04:45:00	AMBASSADOR.

02:04:50:00	02:04:53:00	WITH ME AND MY FAMILY.
02:04:53:00	02:04:53:00	TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS HAS
02:04:53:00	02:04:56:00	LONG BEEN A BEACON OF HOPE FOR

02:05:01:00	02:05:04:00	TERMINATING TPS FOR NATIONS
02:05:04:00	02:05:05:00	LIKE HAITI AND VENEZUELA WHICH
02:05:05:00	02:05:08:00	CONTINUE TO FACE SIGNIFICANT
02:05:08:00	02:05:09:00	INSTABILITY CONTRADICTS THE

02:05:12:00	02:05:12:00	HUMANITARIAN INTENT.
02:05:12:00	02:05:16:00	TPS RECIPIENTS ARE INTEGRAL TO

02:05:24:00	02:05:25:00	, EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY
02:05:25:00	02:05:25:00	LEADERS.
02:05:25:00	02:05:28:00	REVOKING TPS COULD LEAD TO
02:05:28:00	02:05:28:00	ECONOMIC HARDSHIPS AND DISRUPT
02:05:28:00	02:05:31:00	THE FABRIC OF OUR

02:05:54:00	02:05:54:00	RESCINDED.
02:05:54:00	02:05:55:00	THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF COMMUNITY
02:05:55:00	02:05:58:00	MEMBERS COULD STRAIN PUBLIC

02:06:11:00	02:06:14:00	WE ADOPTED A RESOLUTION URGING

02:07:34:00	02:07:36:00	WITH SUPERINTENDENT SKIPPER

02:07:42:00	02:07:43:00	KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE
02:07:43:00	02:07:44:00	OKAY.
02:07:44:00	02:07:45:00	AND THAT'S WHY I'M VERY PROUD
02:07:45:00	02:07:46:00	OF THIS RESOLUTION BECAUSE
02:07:46:00	02:07:48:00	THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT WE NEED
02:07:48:00	02:07:49:00	TO PUT FORWARD THAT NO MATTER
02:07:49:00	02:07:50:00	YOUR STATUS THAT YOU'RE GOING
02:07:50:00	02:07:52:00	TO BE OKAY.
02:07:52:00	02:07:53:00	BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE WITH
02:07:53:00	02:07:53:00	TPS BECAUSE THEY'RE HERE
02:07:53:00	02:07:56:00	LEGALLY PROTECTED BY THE UNITED
02:07:56:00	02:07:57:00	STATES GOVERNMENT, WHY IS IT
02:07:57:00	02:08:00:00	THAT WE ARE TAKING THAT BACK
02:08:00:00	02:08:01:00	FROM THEM AFTER WE KNOW THAT
02:08:01:00	02:08:01:00	THEY LEFT THEIR COUNTRIES
02:08:01:00	02:08:02:00	BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED AND
02:08:02:00	02:08:04:00	INSTABILITY AND THINGS THAT WE
02:08:04:00	02:08:05:00	DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
02:08:05:00	02:08:08:00	GOING THROUGH BUT WE KNOW THAT
02:08:08:00	02:08:08:00	THEY CHOSE BOSTON AS THEIR NEW
02:08:08:00	02:08:09:00	HOME.
02:08:09:00	02:08:09:00	SO LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE
02:08:09:00	02:08:12:00	CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND I URGE
02:08:12:00	02:08:12:00	OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO WORK
02:08:12:00	02:08:15:00	ON A PROGRAM TO GIVE MEMBERS
02:08:15:00	02:08:18:00	OF THOSE THAT HAVE A TPS STATUS
02:08:18:00	02:08:19:00	TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO BECOME
02:08:19:00	02:08:20:00	U.S. CITIZENS BECAUSE THEY'RE
02:08:20:00	02:08:23:00	WORKING HERE, THEY'RE PAYING
02:08:23:00	02:08:23:00	THEIR TAXES.
02:08:23:00	02:08:24:00	I KNOW A FAMILY THAT HAS HAD
02:08:24:00	02:08:26:00	TPS FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS NOW AND
02:08:26:00	02:08:30:00	THEY OWN BUSINESSES AND THEY
02:08:30:00	02:08:30:00	PAY THEIR TAXES.
02:08:30:00	02:08:31:00	THEY OWN A HOME AND THEY'RE
02:08:31:00	02:08:32:00	STILL NOT U.S. CITIZENS.
02:08:32:00	02:08:34:00	LET'S MAKE SURE WE WORK ON
02:08:34:00	02:08:34:00	THAT.

02:26:30:00	02:26:31:00	I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN
02:26:31:00	02:26:35:00	SEVERAL FOLKS WHO HAVE TRIED TO
02:26:35:00	02:26:39:00	PASS GO THROUGH THE ZONING
02:26:39:00	02:26:39:00	PROCESS AND HAVE BEEN MET

02:27:02:00	02:27:06:00	HOW WE DO THIS BECAUSE THIS HAS

02:35:20:00	02:35:24:00	REGULATES T AND C'S.
02:35:24:00	02:35:24:00	BUT I THINK THERE IS A
02:35:24:00	02:35:27:00	PRECEDENT FOR THE BOSTON POLICE

02:36:05:00	02:36:06:00	RIDERSHIP IS NOW BACK ON THE
02:36:06:00	02:36:11:00	RISE GIVEN THAT 18 MILLION
02:36:11:00	02:36:15:00	RIDERS RIDES ORIGINATED FROM

02:36:18:00	02:36:21:00	MILLION RIDES BEING LOCAL TRIPS
02:36:21:00	02:36:22:00	GIVEN THE SHEER VOLUME OF RIDE
02:36:22:00	02:36:23:00	SHARES THAT OPERATE IN BOSTON,
02:36:23:00	02:36:25:00	WE NEED STRONGER MUNICIPAL

02:36:33:00	02:36:34:00	IN BOSTON DUE TO CONTINUED
02:36:34:00	02:36:37:00	PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS IT IS
02:36:37:00	02:36:38:00	WORTHWHILE TO DISCUSS
02:36:38:00	02:36:41:00	PROHIBITING OUT-OF-STATE
02:36:41:00	02:36:41:00	OPERATORS FROM RIDE SHARING IN
02:36:41:00	02:36:45:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON DUE TO OUR
02:36:45:00	02:36:48:00	EXISTING TRAFFIC CRISIS THE
02:36:48:00	02:36:49:00	LACK OF DESIGNATED TNC PICK UP
02:36:49:00	02:36:53:00	AND DROP DROP OFF AREAS OR
02:36:53:00	02:36:53:00	ADHERENCE TO THEM OFTEN RESULTS
02:36:53:00	02:36:57:00	IN VEHICLES PULLING UP IN THE
02:36:57:00	02:36:58:00	MIDDLE OF THE STREET
02:36:58:00	02:36:58:00	HIGHLIGHTING THE SAFETY RISK
02:36:58:00	02:36:59:00	FOR ALL OF ROAD USERS DUE TO
02:36:59:00	02:37:00:00	BLOCK TRAVEL.
02:37:00:00	02:37:04:00	IT'S AND HERE'S MY FINAL POINT
02:37:04:00	02:37:07:00	AND I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH
02:37:07:00	02:37:11:00	THE BOSTON POLICE DOES NOT HAVE
02:37:11:00	02:37:11:00	JURISDICTION OR OVERSIGHT ON
02:37:11:00	02:37:15:00	UBER AND LYFT AND WHETHER IT'S
02:37:15:00	02:37:18:00	MAJOR CITIES OR MAJOR STREETS I
02:37:18:00	02:37:19:00	SHOULD SAY SUCH AS BROADWAY OR
02:37:19:00	02:37:23:00	OTHER AREAS OF BOYLSTON STREET
02:37:23:00	02:37:24:00	AND NEWBURY STREET, I OFTEN SEE
02:37:24:00	02:37:26:00	IF I'M OUT WITH MY WIFE AT
02:37:26:00	02:37:27:00	TIMES ON BROADWAY I OFTEN SEE
02:37:27:00	02:37:30:00	RIDESHARE VEHICLES PULL UP TO A
02:37:30:00	02:37:34:00	RESTAURANT AND MOST YOUNG WOMAN
02:37:34:00	02:37:35:00	WILL GET IN.
02:37:35:00	02:37:37:00	SOMETIMES THEY'LL BE FOUR OR
02:37:37:00	02:37:38:00	FIVE SUVS WAITING FOR SOMEONE
02:37:38:00	02:37:41:00	THAT ORDERED A RIDESHARE UBER
02:37:41:00	02:37:42:00	OR LYFT AND THE PERSON
02:37:42:00	02:37:45:00	UNFORTUNATE THEY MIGHT BE UNDER
02:37:45:00	02:37:46:00	THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL AND
02:37:46:00	02:37:49:00	THEY WILL KIND OF JUMP IN AT
02:37:49:00	02:37:50:00	TIMES THAT I HAVE SEEN JUMP
02:37:50:00	02:37:53:00	INTO AN SUV AND MAY OR MAY NOT
02:37:53:00	02:37:54:00	BE THE ONE THEY HAD.
02:37:54:00	02:37:57:00	I THINK THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE
02:37:57:00	02:37:57:00	PRACTICE.
02:37:57:00	02:38:00:00	I KNOW IT'S NOT SUPPORTED BY
02:38:00:00	02:38:01:00	MANY PEOPLE BUT I DO THINK
02:38:01:00	02:38:05:00	BOSTON POLICE NEED TO PLAY A
02:38:05:00	02:38:05:00	CRITICAL ROLE IN THE
02:38:05:00	02:38:08:00	JURISDICTION AND OVERSIGHT AND
02:38:08:00	02:38:09:00	SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS AND
02:38:09:00	02:38:12:00	IT'S SOMETHING AGAIN WANT TO BE
02:38:12:00	02:38:16:00	RESPECTFUL TO MY COLLEAGUES AND
02:38:16:00	02:38:17:00	TO CITY OFFICIALS BUT I'M NOT
02:38:17:00	02:38:20:00	GOING TO GIVE UP ON THIS ISSUE
02:38:20:00	02:38:20:00	AND I'M GOING TO STAY ON TOP
02:38:20:00	02:38:24:00	OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE TO
02:38:24:00	02:38:27:00	DO MY DUE DILIGENCE TO ENSURE
02:38:27:00	02:38:28:00	THAT PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES ARE
02:38:28:00	02:38:31:00	ADDRESSED.
02:38:31:00	02:38:32:00	I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE
02:38:32:00	02:38:35:00	PROCESS RIGHT NOW AND I JUST
02:38:35:00	02:38:36:00	CAN'T SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING
02:38:36:00	02:38:38:00	ABOUT IT AND I HOPE I'M NOT
02:38:38:00	02:38:39:00	OFFENDING ANYBODY BUT IT'S JUST
02:38:39:00	02:38:42:00	SOMETHING I CAN'T LET GO
02:38:42:00	02:38:46:00	OF UNTIL THAT CHANGES IS MADE.

02:38:54:00	02:38:57:00	DON'T KNOW THE MAKER BUT I JUST
02:38:57:00	02:38:58:00	THINK THERE'S IS A VERY SIMPLE
02:38:58:00	02:39:01:00	SOLUTION FOR HOW TO, YOU KNOW,
02:39:01:00	02:39:01:00	REGULATE THIS INDUSTRY AND
02:39:01:00	02:39:04:00	PROTECT THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND
02:39:04:00	02:39:05:00	THAT'S FOR THESE COMPANIES TO
02:39:05:00	02:39:08:00	CLASSIFY THEIR THEIR DRIVERS AS
02:39:08:00	02:39:09:00	EMPLOYEES THEY'RE CLEARLY
02:39:09:00	02:39:13:00	EMPLOYEES OF UBER AND LYFT THIS
02:39:13:00	02:39:14:00	THEY WOULD NOT YEAH THESE

02:39:17:00	02:39:20:00	OF DOLLARS YOU KNOW WITH THIS
02:39:20:00	02:39:23:00	THIS WORKFORCE THAT WE'VE

02:39:28:00	02:39:31:00	CITY SO YOU KNOW, I THINK WE
02:39:31:00	02:39:32:00	SHOULD CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR
02:39:32:00	02:39:35:00	PROPER CLASSIFICATION OF THE
02:39:35:00	02:39:35:00	DRIVERS.

02:41:30:00	02:41:33:00	WITHIN OUR PURVIEW.
02:41:33:00	02:41:37:00	I BELIEVE THAT IF WHEN WE HAVE
02:41:37:00	02:41:38:00	THIS HEARING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE

02:41:41:00	02:41:41:00	HAVE THE ABILITY TO ANALYZE
02:41:41:00	02:41:44:00	RECENT RESOLUTIONS TO IDENTIFY
02:41:44:00	02:41:45:00	PATTERNS WHERE COUNCIL ACTIONS
02:41:45:00	02:41:48:00	MAY HAVE EXCEEDED OUR

02:48:13:00	02:48:17:00	I'LL SAY THAT WE ARE A
02:48:17:00	02:48:17:00	MONOTHEISTIC RELIGION WHO
02:48:17:00	02:48:20:00	BELIEVE IN JUST ONE GOD AND
02:48:20:00	02:48:21:00	THERE'S ONLY ONE TRUE GOD IN
02:48:21:00	02:48:23:00	THE ABRAHAMIC GOD THAT FIRST
02:48:23:00	02:48:27:00	CAME ADAM THAN ABRAHAM AND ON

02:48:31:00	02:48:32:00	AND THAT WE BELIEVE THAT
02:48:32:00	02:48:32:00	MOHAMMED IS THE LAST PROPHET WE
02:48:32:00	02:48:35:00	DON'T WORSHIP MOHAMMED AND WE
02:48:35:00	02:48:35:00	DON'T NAME GOD.
02:48:35:00	02:48:36:00	SO IF YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAYING A
02:48:36:00	02:48:39:00	LAW WHO ACQUIRED GOD IS THE
02:48:39:00	02:48:40:00	GREATEST IF YOU BELIEVE IF YOU

02:48:43:00	02:48:46:00	THINGS LIKE YOU KNOW YOUR GOD'S
02:48:46:00	02:48:50:00	NAME IS A LAW BECAUSE A LAW IS
02:48:50:00	02:48:50:00	LITERALLY TWO WORDS COMBINED

02:55:16:00	02:55:17:00	WHERE SPECIFICALLY IT WOULD BE
02:55:17:00	02:55:19:00	WHERE THE TOWN YOU KNOW THE
02:55:19:00	02:55:20:00	MARKET WHERE YOU WOULD GO AND
02:55:20:00	02:55:21:00	TRADE SLAVE AND THEN THERE WERE
02:55:21:00	02:55:23:00	LIKE OTHER ISLANDS THAT WOULD
02:55:23:00	02:55:24:00	TRADE LIKE YOU KNOW, TOBACCO
02:55:24:00	02:55:27:00	AND COFFEE AND OTHER THINGS
02:55:27:00	02:55:31:00	EVEN YOU KNOW, MATERIALS
02:55:31:00	02:55:31:00	OF INDIA CAME BY EUROPE ALL
02:55:31:00	02:55:34:00	OF THE CONTINENTS WOULD COME
02:55:34:00	02:55:35:00	AND TRADE THERE BUT EVENTUALLY
02:55:35:00	02:55:38:00	AS YEARS WOULD GO BY EVERY
02:55:38:00	02:55:39:00	DECADE AND WOULD SUFFER A
02:55:39:00	02:55:42:00	FAMINE BECAUSE THE AFRICANS WHO
02:55:42:00	02:55:42:00	WERE BEING KIDNAPED AND SOME
02:55:42:00	02:55:46:00	WOULD FIGHT AND REBEL AND RUN
02:55:46:00	02:55:49:00	OFF TO THE MOUNTAINS WOULD
02:55:49:00	02:55:50:00	EVENTUALLY SUFFER FAMINE
02:55:50:00	02:55:50:00	BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT
02:55:50:00	02:55:53:00	OF PIRACY.
02:55:53:00	02:55:54:00	SO PIRATES WOULD COME TO CUBA
02:55:54:00	02:55:57:00	TO TRY TO TAKE OVER AND BECAUSE
02:55:57:00	02:55:57:00	OF THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY
02:55:57:00	02:55:58:00	WAS JUST DESTITUTE TOO LIKE
02:55:58:00	02:56:01:00	HUNGER.
02:56:01:00	02:56:02:00	AND SO CAPE VERDE BEING SUPER
02:56:02:00	02:56:05:00	POOR WE HAD TO ADAPT A LOT WITH
02:56:05:00	02:56:08:00	SUFFERING FAMINE AGAIN DATING
02:56:08:00	02:56:09:00	BACK TWO CENTURIES BACK EVERY
02:56:09:00	02:56:12:00	DECADE OF FAMINE IN CAPE VERDE
02:56:12:00	02:56:13:00	YOU CAN IMAGINE I HEAR A STORY
02:56:13:00	02:56:14:00	I REMEMBER STORIES MY
02:56:14:00	02:56:15:00	GRANDMOTHER TELLING ME EVEN IN
02:56:15:00	02:56:16:00	THE SIXTIES WHERE THERE WAS
02:56:16:00	02:56:20:00	FAMINE AND WE SUFFERED ONE JUST
02:56:20:00	02:56:23:00	IN THE NINETIES BY THE WAY AND
02:56:23:00	02:56:24:00	WHERE THEY HAD TO EAT AND WITH
02:56:24:00	02:56:27:00	THEIR HANDS OR JUST SCOOP UP
02:56:27:00	02:56:28:00	QUIETLY BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD BE
02:56:28:00	02:56:28:00	AT THE WINDOW AND THEY WOULD
02:56:28:00	02:56:30:00	BREAK YOUR WINDOWS TO COME IN.
02:56:30:00	02:56:31:00	SO A LOT OF SUFFERING AND SO
02:56:31:00	02:56:34:00	FOLKS HAD TO ADAPT TO THIS VERY
02:56:34:00	02:56:38:00	CLEAN COUNTRY BECAUSE IT OR
02:56:38:00	02:56:39:00	ELSE YOU WOULD SUFFER DISEASE
02:56:39:00	02:56:42:00	BECAUSE IT'S ALL YOU HAD YOU
02:56:42:00	02:56:43:00	COULD EAT OR YOU COULD BE CLEAN
02:56:43:00	02:56:44:00	AND SO IMMIGRANTS WOULD JUST
02:56:44:00	02:56:46:00	EVERYBODY WOULD LEAVE.
02:56:46:00	02:56:47:00	EVERYBODY WOULD LEAVE.
02:56:47:00	02:56:47:00	EVERYBODY WOULD LEAVE.
02:56:47:00	02:56:49:00	SO CAPE VERDE AND IF YOU NOTICE
02:56:49:00	02:56:50:00	HAVE LIKE THIS THIS ATTITUDE
02:56:50:00	02:56:53:00	OF DISPOSITION OF BEING VERY
02:56:53:00	02:56:54:00	ADAPTIVE AND VERY HARDWORKING
02:56:54:00	02:56:58:00	PEOPLE, VERY PROUD PEOPLE.
02:56:58:00	02:56:58:00	AND SO WHEN YOU ASK THEM HOW
02:56:58:00	02:57:01:00	THEY'RE DOING, THEY START WITH
02:57:01:00	02:57:02:00	THE JOB OR THEY START WITH IT'S
02:57:02:00	02:57:05:00	OKAY, ALL OUR PRAISE IS DUE TO
02:57:05:00	02:57:06:00	GOD BUT THIS IS DUE TO LIKE
02:57:06:00	02:57:07:00	EVERYBODY LEAVING AND ALWAYS
02:57:07:00	02:57:09:00	HAVING TO MOURN THEIR FAMILIES
02:57:09:00	02:57:13:00	LEAVING TO THE TO THE STATES.
02:57:13:00	02:57:14:00	AND SO BY THE LATE 1700S IT
02:57:14:00	02:57:17:00	WOULD COME IN THE WHALING SHIPS
02:57:17:00	02:57:17:00	TO AMERICAS.
02:57:17:00	02:57:18:00	I TELL YOU THIS HISTORY ONCE
02:57:18:00	02:57:19:00	AGAIN AND I KNOW I DID IT
02:57:19:00	02:57:21:00	BEFORE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
02:57:21:00	02:57:22:00	BECAUSE IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT IT
02:57:22:00	02:57:25:00	SPEAKS TO THE CHARACTER AND THE
02:57:25:00	02:57:26:00	FABRIC OF WHO WE ARE AS A AS A
02:57:26:00	02:57:29:00	PEOPLE, AS A COUNTRY.
02:57:29:00	02:57:29:00	AND SO WE'RE NOT VERY STRONG
02:57:29:00	02:57:30:00	ADVOCATES FOR OURSELVES.
02:57:30:00	02:57:36:00	WE DON'T WE NATURALLY DEFAULT
02:57:36:00	02:57:37:00	TO NOT SPEAKING TO WORKING HARD
02:57:37:00	02:57:38:00	TO THREE JOBS AND GETTING OUR
02:57:38:00	02:57:41:00	OWN AS OPPOSED TO SPEAKING UP.
02:57:41:00	02:57:41:00	AND SO THE CAPE VERDEAN
02:57:41:00	02:57:44:00	COMMUNITY SUPER HARD WORKING
02:57:44:00	02:57:45:00	PEOPLE COME IN AND THEY'RE NOT
02:57:45:00	02:57:47:00	AS RESOURCEFUL AS OTHER
02:57:47:00	02:57:48:00	IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS.
02:57:48:00	02:57:51:00	AND THEN THERE'S THE OTHER PART
02:57:51:00	02:57:52:00	WHERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS
02:57:52:00	02:57:52:00	THEY'RE NOT BECOMING CITIZENS
02:57:52:00	02:57:56:00	AND THAT I SAY THIS TO ALL
02:57:56:00	02:57:56:00	THOSE ALL THE IMMIGRANTS IN
02:57:56:00	02:57:59:00	BOSTON IN WORLDWIDE YOU HAVE A
02:57:59:00	02:58:00:00	RESPONSIBILITY TO WHEN YOU HAVE
02:58:00:00	02:58:03:00	A GREEN CARD NOT JUST TO WORK
02:58:03:00	02:58:03:00	AND SEND OVER TO YOUR FAMILY IN
02:58:03:00	02:58:06:00	YOUR COUNTRY BUT ALSO TO BECOME
02:58:06:00	02:58:07:00	CITIZENS SO THAT YOU CAN
02:58:07:00	02:58:07:00	ADVOCATE.
02:58:07:00	02:58:10:00	BUT HERE TODAY I WANTED TO ONE
02:58:10:00	02:58:14:00	THANK MONIQUE WHEN WHO HAS BEEN
02:58:14:00	02:58:14:00	WORKING WITH ME IN TRYING TO
02:58:14:00	02:58:15:00	FIGURE OUT WHAT WHERE THE
02:58:15:00	02:58:18:00	DISPARITIES ARE IN TERMS
02:58:18:00	02:58:18:00	OF HELPING THE IMMIGRANT
02:58:18:00	02:58:19:00	POPULATION HERE IN BOSTON BUT
02:58:19:00	02:58:22:00	SPECIFICALLY CAPE VERDE
02:58:22:00	02:58:23:00	COMMUNITY WHO HAS A VERY UNIQUE
02:58:23:00	02:58:26:00	CULTURE, A VERY DIVERSE, UNIQUE
02:58:26:00	02:58:26:00	CULTURE.
02:58:26:00	02:58:27:00	AGAIN, TAKING INTO
02:58:27:00	02:58:30:00	CONSIDERATION THAT ADAPTIVE,
02:58:30:00	02:58:33:00	YOU KNOW, SORT OF MESTIZO
02:58:33:00	02:58:34:00	OF RACE AND CULTURE OF OURS.
02:58:34:00	02:58:37:00	SO FOR EXAMPLE I AM 45%
02:58:37:00	02:58:41:00	SENEGALESE AND THE REST IS LIKE
02:58:41:00	02:58:42:00	YOU KNOW, SOME SOME COLONIZED
02:58:42:00	02:58:45:00	BLOOD AND SOME IN NIGERIA AND
02:58:45:00	02:58:48:00	I'M ACTUALLY I FORGET HOW TO
02:58:48:00	02:58:49:00	SAY AS A HASIDIC JEW I ACTUALLY
02:58:49:00	02:58:52:00	HAVE SOME OF THAT AND THEN I
02:58:52:00	02:58:53:00	HAVE LIKE SOME OTHER STUFF
02:58:53:00	02:58:56:00	GOING ON SO LIKE KEYWORD BEING
02:58:56:00	02:58:56:00	THIS MELTING POT LITERALLY IS
02:58:56:00	02:58:59:00	NOT A COUNTRY OF ITS OWN BUT IT
02:58:59:00	02:59:00:00	BECAME THAT AND THEN WHEN THE
02:59:00:00	02:59:04:00	JEWS WERE EXILED THEN A LOT
02:59:04:00	02:59:05:00	OF A LOT OF JEWS CAME TO CAPE
02:59:05:00	02:59:07:00	ARE MIXED WITH SENEGALESE AND
02:59:07:00	02:59:08:00	AFRICANS AND OTHER AND SO HERE
02:59:08:00	02:59:11:00	WE ARE THIS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY
02:59:11:00	02:59:12:00	RECEIVING AN OPEN HEART, OPEN
02:59:12:00	02:59:16:00	ARM ALLOWING HELP OR SUPPORTING
02:59:16:00	02:59:19:00	OTHERS BUT NOT KNOWING HOW TO
02:59:19:00	02:59:20:00	ADVOCATE IN A SUCH A SMALL CITY
02:59:20:00	02:59:23:00	LIKE BOSTON.
02:59:23:00	02:59:23:00	SO THIS RESOLUTION IN
02:59:23:00	02:59:24:00	PARTICULARLY IS TO HIGHLIGHT
02:59:24:00	02:59:27:00	THE ISSUES, THE LACK OF, YOU
02:59:27:00	02:59:28:00	KNOW, ADVOCACY AND THE LACK

03:01:23:00	03:01:27:00	INCREDIBLY HAPPY TO STAND UP ON
03:01:27:00	03:01:31:00	THIS ONE BECAUSE I, I WHEN I
03:01:31:00	03:01:34:00	CAME TO THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE
03:01:34:00	03:01:35:00	THINK THAT I WAS EITHER CAPE
03:01:35:00	03:01:36:00	VERDEAN OR PUERTO RICAN.
03:01:36:00	03:01:39:00	I WAS EITHER ONE OF THEM
03:01:39:00	03:01:40:00	DEPENDING ON WHO I WAS SAYING,
03:01:40:00	03:01:40:00	YOU KNOW, ALMOST ALL OF THEM.
03:01:40:00	03:01:41:00	OKAY.
03:01:41:00	03:01:43:00	BUT CAPE VERDE AND IN
03:01:43:00	03:01:46:00	PARTICULAR WERE ALWAYS THE
03:01:46:00	03:01:47:00	COMMUNITY THAT EMBRACED ME THE
03:01:47:00	03:01:50:00	STRONGEST AND I LEARNED SO MUCH
03:01:50:00	03:01:54:00	FROM THE CAPE VERDEAN COMMUNITY
03:01:54:00	03:01:54:00	.
03:01:54:00	03:01:55:00	THEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO SAY WALK
03:01:55:00	03:01:55:00	ON BY MEJIA BECAUSE I USED TO
03:01:55:00	03:01:57:00	WORK AT A SHOE STORE.
03:01:57:00	03:01:58:00	THEY THEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO SELL
03:01:58:00	03:01:58:00	THINGS.
03:01:58:00	03:02:01:00	I HAD THOMPKINS SHOE STORE BUT
03:02:01:00	03:02:02:00	MOST IMPORTANTLY I ALWAYS USED
03:02:02:00	03:02:06:00	TO SAY I WAS FROM FOGO.
03:02:06:00	03:02:07:00	I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I USED TO
03:02:07:00	03:02:07:00	SAY THAT AND I DON'T WANT TO
03:02:07:00	03:02:09:00	GIVE PEOPLE IN PROPER UPSET AT
03:02:09:00	03:02:10:00	ME.
03:02:10:00	03:02:10:00	BUT I WAS SAYING FOGO I THINK
03:02:10:00	03:02:14:00	IT'S BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT
03:02:14:00	03:02:14:00	MORE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES.
03:02:14:00	03:02:15:00	I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I SKEWED
03:02:15:00	03:02:18:00	MORE ON THE FOCUS SIDE OF THE
03:02:18:00	03:02:18:00	ISLAND I DON'T KNOW BUT I JUST
