health

those
impacted
by
substance.
Use
are
very
close
to
my
heart.
Addiction
is
not
a
struggle
that
affects
a
single
person.
Addiction
is
multi-layered
impact
and
impacts,
families
and
communities
through
her

personal
experience.
Joann
Peterson

inspired

struggles

cope.
This
type
of
place
may
not

13
years.
D

C
H
H
It's
actually
a
nice,
a
nice
break
today
to
be
here.
We've
lost
just
five
kids,
just
in
the
last
week
and
a
half
from
the
ages
of
21
to
30
and
I,
don't
mean
to
be
sad,
but
this
is
the
world
we
live
in,
and
you
know
this
epidemic
is
all
across
the
country:
it's
not
just
in
Massachusetts
it's
everywhere
and
we're
really
proud
and
pleased
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
those
families.
H
So
you
know
if
everybody
could
keep
them
in
their
thoughts
and
prayers,
along
with
all
the
families
that
are
losing
their
loved
ones
and
we're
happy
and
humbled
to
accept
this
award,
but
we're
accepting
it
in
honor
of
all
those
families
that
are
dealing
with
addiction,
mental
illness,
substance
use
disorder,
violence,
domestic
abuse,
anything
that's
going
on
in
their
lives,
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Vicki
she's,
also
a
longtime
member
and
staff
member.
Now
I've
learned
to
cope
and
I
just
want
to.
I
C
J
So
Jays,
a
constituent
of
mine,
he's
that
he's
a
longtime
longtime
supporter
and
I
feel
like
I,
keep
good
company
with
with
Jay.
As
a
supporter
on
on
August
3rd
Jay
Richards
a
19
year
veteran
of
the
city's
Transportation
Department,
led
a
rescue
helping
a
woman
helping
to
carry
woman
down
six
flights
of
stairs
after
her
North
End
condo
building
caught
fire
Jay's,
an
assistant
parking
enforcement
supervisor.
J
He
so
he's
looking
at
traffic
and
parking
he's,
not
he's
not
a
firefighter,
but
he
had
the
courage
to
running
to
this
building
when
he
saw
there
was
there
was
need.
It
was
in
the
north
end
in
this
particular
day
telling
telling
the
residents
that
they
had
to
move
their
cars
for
an
annual
feast
that
night.
Well
that
work
he
saw
smoke
pouring
out
of
the
roof
of
a
building.
He
ran
in
banging
on
the
doors
when
he
found
a
woman
in
her
caregiver
still
inside
Jay
and
the
firefighter
on
scene
strapped.
J
The
woman
show
up
the
woman
to
a
chair
and
carried
her
down
the
flights
of
stairs
to
a
lobby
across
the
way
the
woman
got
out
safely.
But
but
Richards
ended
up
in
the
hospital
was
taken
to
Mass
General
for
minor
injuries.
So
today,
I
want
to
think
I
want
to
thank
Jay
for
his
heroism
on
August
3rd,
a
lot
of
times,
city
workers
get
beat
up
and
the
press
sent
in
a
popular
opinion.
J
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
brought
Jane
here
with
this
family
to
make
sure
that
people
know
that
this
is
what
city
workers
do
they
care
about
the
city
they
live
in
the
city
and
and
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
we
did
this
for
Jay
and
I'm
gonna
read
a
little
bit
of
the
of
the
resolution.
I
won't
get
into
it
very
much,
but
for
his
bravery
and
heroism
in
assisting
a
looming
out
of
a
burning,
building
and
alerting
the
other
residents
of
the
fire.
So
Jay.
K
K
Truly
believe
that
that's
the
city
that
I
raised
my
kids
in
that's
what
we
do,
we
we
look
out
for
one
another,
I,
don't
this
was
definitely
a
team
effort.
I
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
do
what
I
did
if
it
wasn't
for
the
mother
firefighter
that
stayed
up
on
the
floor
with
me.
The
maintenance
worker
stayed
on
the
flo
with
me
and
the
health
care
worker
that
were
there,
both
of
them
health
care
workers
that
were
there
also.
M
Thank
you
so
much
council
president
Wu
I
am
I'm
very
fault
today,
because
again,
I
think
it
is
significant
and
it's
an
honor
to
be
in
a
space
that
our
council
has
not
met
in
and
so
long
since
1822
and
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
acknowledge
a
great
bostonia.
It
has
been
said
and
I
probably
use
this
quote
for
both
of
the
groups
that
I'm
going
to
honor
senator
senator
Kamala
Harris
said
if
you
ever
wondered
what
you
would
have
done
during
the
civil
rights
movement.
M
This
is
your
opportunity
to
find
out
if
you
ever
wondered
what
you
would
have
done
during
the
civil
rights
movement.
This
is
your
opportunity
to
find
out.
Those
are
not
my
words.
Those
are
the
words
of
an
amazing
woman,
senator
Kamala
Harris.
Today
we
have
an
opportunity
to
be
in
the
presence
of
someone
who
did
something
who
didn't
stand
idly
by,
who
stood
up
and
changed
the
course
of
history
in
our
city
in
one
of
the
traits
we
have
before
us.
Mr.
M
James
T
Garrett
jr.,
and
if
you
don't
know
him,
you
should
know,
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
mr.
Garrett
in
1974
James
C
Garrett
filed
a
class-action
suit
against
the
Union
Local
7
International
Association
of
bridge
structural
ornamental
iron
workers
for
discrimination
against
minority
iron
workers.
Mr.
Garrett
saw
the
injustice
is
created
by
the
unions
trainee
program
where
one
was
created
for
whites
and
the
other
for
minorities.
This
is
in
our
city
in
the
city
of
Boston.
M
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
while
white
and
black
iron
workers
were
distinguished
by
the
color
of
their
union
cards,
the
black
workers
were
also
taught
a
lesser
level
of
math
than
their
white
counterparts.
Failure
to
comply
with
the
program's
itinerary
would
prevent
one
from
becoming
a
member
of
the
Union.
Mr.
Garrett
acted
against
the
status
quo
with
courage
and
the
will
to
shed
light
on
this
issue
of
unfair
working
conditions
for
people
of
color
in
1980,
the
case
known
as
Garrett
versus
local
7,
International
Association
of
bridge
structural
and
ornamental
iron
workers.
M
The
United
States
District
Court
for
the
District
of
Massachusetts
ruled
that
local
seven
had
been
discriminating
against
minorities,
seeking
job
referrals
and
job
training,
which
violates
federal
law
as
a
result
of
the
ruling
of
the
case
black
iron
workers.
In
this
case,
black
iron
workers,
who
had
participated
in
local
seven
beginning
in
1970,
were
eligible
to
receive
back
pay
and
relief.
M
We
need
to
be
thinking
about
what
we
are
doing
every
day
in
our
city
to
advance
our
time
in
the
civil
rights
movement.
What
we
can
continue
to
do
in
our
city
to
ensure
that
equity
and
opportunity
prevail,
and
so
it's
important
that
we're
in
this
space
and
it's
important
that
we
honor
a
great
bostonia
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
high
parking
I,
don't
know.
If
that's
a
that's
a
that's
a
word,
but
we
honor
you
mr.
M
Garrett,
for
what
you've
done
for
the
doors
that
you've
opened,
not
only
not
only
in
the
ironworkers
but
in
all
of
the
trades,
and
not
only
for
people
of
color,
for
women
and
for
other
Bostonians
who
a
shot.
And
so
it
is
important
that
we
give
folk
their
flowers
what
it
can
still
smell
it.
While
we
honor
those
who
have
made
a
difference
in
our
city.
So
I
would
like
mr.
Garrett,
his
lovely
wife,
his
daughter
and
his
grandchildren
to
come
forward
and
be
honored
by
the
Boston
City
Council.
It
is
your
day,
mr.
Garrett.
N
N
C
A
Thank
you
again
so
much
so
this
is
an
exception
and
a
deviation
from
our
normal
procedures,
but
counsel
Jackson
has
a
second
special
recognition.
Just
given
the
magnitude
and
the
importance
of
what
took
place
in
Boston
over
the
weekend,
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
could
celebrate
two
wonderful
people
and
and
the
the
entire
movement
that
they
have
been
organizing
and
leading.
M
M
And
the
pursuit
of
happiness
from
the
Declaration
of
Independence
Congress
shall
make
no
law
respecting
an
establishment
of
religion
or
prohibiting
the
free
exercise
thereof
or
abridging
the
freedom
of
speech
or
of
the
press
or
of
the
right
of
the
people
to
peaceably
peaceably,
to
assemble
and
to
petition
the
government
for
redress
of
grievances.
First
Amendment
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all
these
important
documents
didn't
acknowledge
women,
and
these
important
documents
did
not
acknowledge
people
of
color
at
the
time
that
they
were
written
and
I
am
happy
today
to
again
quote
a
black
woman.
M
Who
was
a
senator
if
you
ever
wondered
what
you
would
have
done
during
the
civil
rights
movement.
This
is
your
opportunity
to
find
out
Senator,
Kamala,
Harris,
Monica
cannon,
Edie
Delgado
Angelina
Camacho.
In
the
face
of
a
president,
who
gave
a
false
equivalency
of
those
who
hate
with
those
who
are
standing
up
to
hate.
M
You
stood
forward
and
put
the
city
of
Boston
on
an
international
stage
and
showed
us
how
powerful
we
are
when
we
turn
to
each
other
and
not
on
each
other.
In
the
most
difficult
times,
you
stood
up
against
white
supremacy,
anti-semitism,
Islamophobia,
sexism,
homophobia
and
hatred
in
our
country
and
our
city,
but
you
didn't
stop
there.
You
dealt
with
the
issues
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Well,
we
have
our
own
gaps
from
Back
Bay
to
Roxbury,
where
there
is
a
nine,
a
33
year
difference
in
life
expectancy
and
Back
Bay.
M
M
It
is
our
time
to
understand
what
our
place
is
and
as
a
man,
sometimes
we
need
to
sit
down
and
allow
our
sisters
and
actually
I'm
sorry
step
back
and
let
our
sisters
do
what
they
should
do
and
their
proper
place
is
in
leadership
roles
and
in
and
in
putting
together
movements
that
put
together
45,000
like-minded
individuals
who
said
that
Boston
as
a
city
is
about
love
and
not
about
hate
and
for
that
I.
Thank
you.
M
This
is
a
recognition
in
recognition
of
your
successful
organization
of
the
fight
supremacy
marks
and
rally
where
you
brought
together
over
40,000
people
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
raise
their
voices
and
unite
as
one
against
hatred
and
bigotry.
And
today
the
Boston
City
Council
declares
fight,
supremacy
Day
on
August
19th
2017.
You
are
the
best
that
we
have
to
offer.
Thank
you
so
much.
O
O
I'll
be
brief
to
allow
my
sister's
to
speak,
but
what
I
will
say.
The
first
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
black
lives
matter
and
I
have
to
say
that
not
as
a
protest,
but
because
they
do
and
it
needs
to
be
known,
and
although
we
did
the
march
in
a
rally-
and
it
was
this
amazing
journey-
we
need
to
also
recognize
that
that
same
ideology
exists
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
affects
people
of
color
in
Dorchester
Roxbury
Mattapan,
on
a
regular
basis.
O
There
were
over
ten
shootings
during
the
time
that
we
were
preparing
for
this
march
and
rally
and
I
struggled
between
the
march
and
showing
up
to
crime
scenes
to
support
families
and
I.
Think
I
want
to
reiterate
that
message
that
you
know
it's
amazing
that
40,000
people
came
and
that's
something
that
black
women
were
able
to
do
alongside
26
organizers
from
across
this
country.
So
I
appreciate
the
recognition,
but
I
also
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
black
lives
matter
Cambridge.
Thank
you
to
black
lives
matter,
New
Jersey.
Thank
you
to
black
lives
matter.
O
Toronto.
Thank
you
to
black
lives
matter
California,
because
that's
what
community
looks
like
for
us.
I'm
26
organizes
organize
45,000
people
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
the
work
continues
and
and
I
run
an
organization
called
violets
in
Boston
and
we're
going
to
continue
that
work
here
and
the
city
of
Boston
and
again.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you
to
everyone.
Thank
you
to
Madam
President.
Our
counselors
I
am
so
thankful
to
be
here
with
my
sisters.
I
also
I
won't
be
before
you
long,
because
the
work
continues.
I
was
so
humbled
and
honored
to
just
be
apart
in
any
way
of
the
spirit
of
solidarity,
peace
and
love
that
conquered
hate.
We
were
the
light
together
that
pushed
back
the
darkness,
but
even
though
we
were
able
to
push
back
overset
well
almost
70
events,
as
you
could
probably
tell
in
the
news,
they
said
that
they're
going
to
go
online.
P
Now
we
actually
showed
the
world
together
what
it
means
to
stand
up
and
stand
together
right
now.
The
work
continues
in
many
different
ways:
I'm
supporting
a
family
right
now
as
a
Jewish
couple
same
gender,
loving
couple,
who's
fighting
just
to
keep
their
own
foster
children,
because
DCF
doesn't
understand
that
people,
but
that
no
matter
who
you
are,
you
can
create
family
and
so
I'm,
fighting
with
them
to
be
able
to
keep
their
family
of
young
people
of
color,
who
are
just
who
have
found
two
loving
parents
and
no
matter
who
they
are.
P
They
love
them,
and
so
right
now,
I
stand
not
only
for
them,
but
also
all
of
the
inequities
that
we
face,
because
the
work
is
not
only
done
by
the
people
who
paved
the
way
for
us
our
seniors.
We
continue
the
work
for
our
young
people,
three
of
whom
are
sitting
right
there
with
me,
my
son
and
my
nephews
and
all
of
the
children
in
our
public
education
system
that
I
fight
for
every
day.
This
is
not
new.
For
me,
twenty
years
of
service
in
our
community
continues,
but
it
must
expand.
P
F
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
didi
Delgado
and
I'm
one-sixth
representation
of
black
lives
matter.
Cambridge
I
am
also
on
the
strategy
table
for
black
lives
matter
global
network.
So
this
work,
as
my
sister's
before
me
have
said,
is
long-standing
and
incumbent.
I
want
to
very
quickly
address
something
that
often
is
an
elephant
in
the
room,
especially
in
these
spaces.
F
Earlier
an
award
was
accepted
and
it
was
paraphrasing
that
all
lives
do
matter
and
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
the
fact
that
all
lives
do
matter,
never
understood
why,
when
I
say
black
lives
matter,
why
there's
a
pushback
if
all
lives
truly
do
matter,
I
would
ask
and
then
even
demand
that
you
all
challenge
ourselves.
We
are
being
honored
today
for
leading
45,000
people
when
it
was
just
as
Monica
said
26
of
us
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
organize
that
many
individuals
on
behalf
of
black
lives
matter
Cambridge
and
on
behalf
of
myself.
F
I
do
live
in
Roxbury
I've
been
organizing
here,
even
though
I
organize
for
Cambridge
as
well
and
I'm
just
concerned.
At
what
kind
of
precedents
were
setting
when
we
are
celebrating
the
three
black
women
who
are
holding
that
space,
but
yet
there
are
at
least
33
people
that
I
personally,
along
with
a
bail
team,
have
bailed
out
for
doing
the
same
things
we've
done
so
I
would
feel
uncomfortable.
F
Accepting
this
award
when
City
Council
definitely
has
the
ability
to
lay
pressure
on
the
mayor
when
you
as
a
city
and
a
community
of
beautiful
faces,
have
the
ability
to
lay
pressure
on
the
mayor.
If
we're
45,000
strong,
why
are
we
leaving
33
people
behind
if
we
say
all
lives
matter,
I'm
all
for
it,
but
black
lives
matter.
We're
bailing
out
all
I
couldn't
go
up
to
the
bail
commissioner
and
say:
is
that
one,
a
Nazi
or
not
right?
F
So
I
would
challenge
this
council
to
appeal
to
the
mayor
and
to
DA
Conley
and
to
even
the
police
commissioner,
about
the
way
we
police,
black
and
brown
bodies
in
this
city
and
the
way
that
bail
is
set
up
here
in
the
city.
So
I
appreciate
Tito
and
shell
and
and
Ayana
for
including
me
in
this,
but
I
will
continue
to
be
a
silent
partner
until
the
work
is
actually
completed.
Thank
you.

You
very
much.
Madam
president,
we
held
a
meeting
yesterday
regarding
docket
number
one:
eight
regarding
health
care
provider,
parking
permits
in
the
city
of
Boston,
hospice
care,
physical
therapy
care
providers
and
home
care
workers
are
having
serious
issues
when
trying
to
deliver
their
services
in
resident
areas
that
have
resident
parking.
I
believe
that
we
had
a
very
powerful
meeting
yesterday
we
had
Commissioner
Shay
Commissioner
Micajah,
as
well
as
commissioner
fee
and
daca
I,
believe
that
through
several
working
sessions,
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
bring
this
to
reality.
G
L
President
I
want
to
thank
chairman
McCarthy
for
holding
this
hearing
and
having
a
really
great
discussion
with
all
the
relevant
city
departments,
as
well
as
representatives
from
1199,
SEIU
and
other
advocates
for
the
home
health
care
workers
and
patients.
I
think
we
got
a
lot
out
there
and
the
general
sense
of
information
talking
about
what
some
other
cities
have
done
them
looking
forward
to
a
working
session
in
the
coming
weeks.
To
really
start
hammering
out
some
policy
changes,
both
it
possibly
administrative,
Lee
or
legislatively
through
this
body.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
L
Recognizing
and
thanking
a
central,
present-day
and
their
membership
here
who
have
waited
patiently
debt
to
hear
this
matter,
it's
incredibly
important
and
someone
we've
worked
on
together
with
this
organization,
central
presente
and
other
advocates
throughout
Boston
throughout
the
immigrant
community.
This
body
effectively
passed
resolution,
support
of
temporary
protected
status
or
TPS
for
haitian
nationals
a
few
short
months
ago-
and
I
say,
perhaps
surprisingly,
the
Trump
administration
extended
TP
in
that
situation,
I
like
to
take
as
much
credit
as
we
can
for
lending
our
voice
on
that.
L
But
this
is
for
folks
right
now,
which
being
under
consideration,
is
for
folks
from
other
countries
who
are
currently
enjoy
temporary
protected
status
in
the
United
States,
thousands
of
whom
are
in
the
Greater
Boston
area.
What
this
means
a
temporary
protected
status
to
just
do
a
quick
summary
is
a
designation
for
folks,
where
it's
unsafe
for
them
to
return
to
their
country
of
origin,
whether
it's
through
because
of
natural
disasters
like
earthquakes,
because
of
an
epidemic
because
of
civil
war
or
criminal
violence.
It's
unsafe.
L
This
is
a
fairly
simple
standard,
I
think
and
something
that
the
United
States
of
America
has
tried
to
do
with
varying
success
throughout
our
history
is
to
be
a
safe
haven
to
be
a
refuge
to
be
of
an
asylum
for
people
from
across
the
world,
and
we
need
to
continue
doing
that
and
what
this
resolution
does
is.
It
adds
the
voice
of
the
Boston
City
Council
and
the
people
of
the
city
of
Boston
to
the
millions
across
this
country,
you're,
advocating
for
reasonable
policies
for
policies
of
inclusiveness
and
against
discrimination.
L
So
I
think
it's
absolutely
a
duty
of
the
Boston
City
Council
and
the
people
of
the
City
of
Boston
to
speak
up
on
this
to
add
our
voice
and
that's
what
I
hope
to
do
today.
I
will
move
for
suspension
and
passage
of
this
today
so
that
we
can
add
our
voice
and
send
this
to
Washington
to
our
representatives
in
Congress
and
to
the
President
and
to
the
State
Department
Homeland
Security
Department,
that
have
responsibility
for
this
program
and
ask
them
to
apply
really
the
rule
of
the
law.
We're
not
asking
for
anything
special
here.
L
The
standard
is:
is
it
safe
to
return
to
the
country
and
right
now,
it's
quite
clear
that
this
president
doesn't
care
about
that
and
he
just
wants
to
discriminate
and
get
people
out
of
this
country.
So
we
need
to
add
our
voice
and
be
heard
on
that.
Thank
you.
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
to
join,
supporting
this
and,
like
I
said,
I
will
move
for
a
suspension
and
adoption
I
believe
was
the
proper
term
today.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
R
R
Thank
you,
madam
president,
wish
to
thank
central
presenting
councillors
a
come
for
your
leadership
and
your
collaboration
or
outstanding
work
on
a
matter
that
affects
so
many
in
our
city,
as
we
collectively
work
to
affirm
and
maintain
the
immigration
status
of
our
neighbors
and
I
just
want
to
share
some
numbers
from
the
BPD
a
so
when
we
say
neighbors
folks
really
understand
the
impact
there
who
stands
to
be
affected
here.
Potentially
in
the
city
of
Boston,
we
have
some
14700
el
Salvadorians.
R
We
have
a
3,000
Hondurans.
We
have
1,000
Nicaraguans.
In
total,
the
Trump
administration
will
decide
whether
to
terminate
the
immigration
status
of
over
300,000
immigrants
from
El,
Salvador
Honduras
and
most
eminently
a
Haiti.
So
these
are
our
neighbors
and
we
must
stand
in
solidarity
with
them.
We
thank
you
for
your
many
contributions
to
our
communities,
to
our
culture
in
the
city
of
Boston,
into
our
economy.
Again,
I
think
councillor
Zakim
for
his
leadership
in
Central
Presents,
a
for
your
organizing
and
mobilization
efforts
on
so
many
issues,
and
this
one
especially
Thank.
M
I
would
like
to
extend
congratulations
to
my
friend
councillors.
They
come
for
just
being
so
consistent
and
steadfast
in
the
work
that
we
should
be
doing
for
those
who
have
come
here.
Some
chose
to
come,
but
many
were
forced
to
have
to
come
here
based
on.
What's
going
on
in
their
country,
I
think
it's
critical,
I
kind
of
Presley
noted
sol
salvador,
honduras
and
haiti.
M
A
R
Madam
President
a
first
I,
want
to
begin
by
we've
done
so
much
of
this
already
this
morning,
but
I
do
want
to
begin
by
celebrating
and
saluting
all
those
who
made
that
forty
five
thousand
strong
a
statement
on
Saturday
the
visionaries,
the
volunteers,
our
Boston
Police
Department,
the
Parks
Department,
everyone
that
played
a
role
and
participated
in
Saturday's
peace
rally.
It
was
a
beautiful
and
powerful
statement
that
we
made
collectively
in
rejecting
hate
bigotry
and
a
white
supremacy
and
I.
R
Don't
think
we
can
say
that
word
enough,
because
in
order
to
fight
something,
you
must
first
name
that
thing,
and
so
it
was
a
powerful,
a
statement
that
we
made
I'm
going
to
thank
our
governor
and
our
mayor
for
the
properly
proclamation
that
they
partnered
on
similar.
And
it's
aimed
to
the
resolution
that
counts
for
Zakim
and
I
are
offering
today.
I
want
to
thank
the
n-double-a-cp
for
their
leadership
and
what
they
do
every
day
and
for
outlining
today.
R
A
path
forward
for
the
work
that
remains
and
for
highlighting
to
myself
and
councillors
a
come,
a
resolution
that
had
been
passed
by
the
Illinois
State
Senate,
very
similar
again
to
the
one
that
we're
offering
today
and
I
do
think.
It's
important
to
know
that
the
impetus
for
Saturday's
event
was
that
we
were
standing
in
solidarity
with
charlottesville.
R
So
I'm
very
pleased
to
do
this
in
partnership
with
councillors
a
come,
I
think
it's
important
that
government
officials
at
every
level
denounce
ideologies
that
hate
or
attack
a
person
simply
because
of
what
color
they
are,
who
they
love
where
they
were
born
or
where
and
how
they
worship.
This
is
a
reminder
for
us
to
daily.
R
Do
the
work
necessary
to
dismantle
white
supremacy,
so
it
is
a
denouncing,
but
it
is
also
a
call
to
action
that
we
do
this
work
and
the
policies
we
pass
and
the
conversations
that
we
are
a
part
of
and
public
and
private,
whether
bigotry
or
injustice
or
a
shout
or
a
whisper,
but
that
we
will
be
united
in
solidarity
and
this
work
again.
This
resolution
is
along
with
efforts
made
by
our
own
Statehouse
colleagues,
I
urge
all
of
my
colleagues
to
sign
on,
as
we
can
speak
with
one
voice.
R
A
You
councillor
Wesley
councillors,
II,
so
appreciate
everyone.
That's
here,
it's
cuz
standard
council
rules
not
to
have
any
displays
that
will
slow
down
our
business
or
make
it
hard
for
anyone
to
hear
so.
Thank
you,
but
if
we
could
just
do
silent
clapping,
that
would
be
wonderful
councillors.
They
come.
You
have
the
floor.
I.
L
Thank
you
about
a
president
I
want
to
thank
council
Presley
for
her
efforts
and
for
allowing
me
to
join
with
her
on
this
resolution.
I'm
happy
to
do
it
I'm
sad
that
we're
doing
that,
we
have
to
do
it
that
we
have
to
be
saying
something
that
seems
so
obvious,
I
think
to
everyone
in
this
room
that
Nazism
that
racism,
that
white
supremacist
movements
are
bad
and
are
wrong
in
2017
in
the
United
States
of
America.
But
that's,
unfortunately,
what
we're
talking
about!
That's!
What's
taking
up
the
valuable
time
of
this
body,
that's!
L
What's
taking
the
valuable
time
of
the
people,
the
45,000
who
marched
over
the
weekend.
That's
what
taking
up
the
valuable
time
with
people
across
this
country
who
are
standing
up
and
fighting
for
many
of
the
same
things
that
the
folks
in
the
pictures
behind
us
started
talking
about
several
hundred
years
ago,
right
in
this
city.
We
need
to
do
it.
We
really
need
to
do
it.
We
have
a
president
that
equivocates
that
talks
about-
maybe
we
don't
have
to
condemn
the
Nazis.
Maybe
we
don't
have
to
condemn
a
Ku
Klux
Klan.
L
Maybe
we
don't
have
to
condemn
white
supremacy,
maybe
there's
problems
on
both
sides.
He
says
and
I'm
gonna
quote
someone
who
I
have
very
little
agreement
with
politically
but
MIT
Romney,
who
was
very
clear
and
I'm
paraphrasing,
but
that
there
is
no
equivalency.
There
is
no
equivalency.
You
cannot
say
that
the
Nazis
have
a
point.
L
A
You
councillor
Zakim
what
councillors
pushing
to
sign
on
please
signal
at
this
point.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
add
councillor
Baker's
name,
councillor
co-moh
councillor
sabi
George,
councillor
Flaherty,
please
I'd
counter
Linehan
comes
from
McCarthy
comes
from
Ali,
please
have
the
chairs
name
and
now
would
anyone
like
to
speak
on
this
matter?
Councillor
Jackson
you
of
the
floor.
I
want.
M
M
A
S
You,
madam
president,
I
rise,
obviously
to
thank
the
two
makers
councillors.
A
command
Presley
asked
once
again
that
my
name
be
added.
It
is
pretty
stunning
that
in
2017,
the
Boston
City
Council
is
voting
on
a
resolution
condemning
white
supremacy
and
Nazism,
but
sadly
that's
where
we
are
that's
what
we
have
to
do
after
the
events
of
the
last
several
weeks.
Like
many
of
you,
I
spent
some
time
at
the
common
on
Saturday
I
was
struck
by
the
sheer
number
of
neighbors
and
friends
who
came
out
to
repudiate
discrimination.
S
Hatred,
violence,
I
was
one
surprised,
but
grateful
for
the
men
and
women
of
the
Boston
Police
Department,
the
State,
Police,
Department
and
other
jurisdictions
that
came
out
that
made
it
such
a
great
success
that
really
exemplified
community
policing
and
I
will
close
with
I.
Think
what
the
best
sign
I
saw
of
that
day
was
I've
been
looking
for
an
excuse
to
fit
in
a
game
of
Thrones
reference
this
council
year
and
as
both
a
history
buff
in
a
game
of
Thrones
fan,
I
will
simply
say
the
North
remembers.

O'malley
offered
the
following
resolution:
recognizing
and
remembering
Richard
Laughlin
O'leary
for
his
honorable
service
in
Vietnam,
by
dedicating
the
intersection
of
Forest,
Hills,
Street
and
Robinson
Street
and
Jamaica
Plain
in
his
memory.
That's
what
Maui
of
the
floor
Madam.
S
S
He
did
much
of
the
research
on
this
and
very
very
briefly,
because
I
know
we've
been
here
a
while
I'm
introducing
a
resolution
which
I
will
ask
for
suspension
and
adoption
of
commemorating
the
life
of
Richard
Laughlin
O'leary
Richard
was
born
and
raised
in
Jamaica
Plain
and
at
the
age
of
19
he
enlisted
in
the
US
Marine
Corps
Reserves,
that
was
in
1962.
He
quickly
rose
through
the
ranks
and
was
commissioned
a
second
lieutenant
on
July
1st
1966
in
his
hometown
of
Boston.
S
He
was
deployed
shortly
after
that
to
fight
in
Vietnam
and
on
September
25th
1967,
which
is
one
month
from
this
Friday,
which
is
50
years
ago.
One
month
from
this
Friday
Richard's
helicopter
began
to
take
enemy
fire.
It
was
struck.
He
was
killed
on
his
first
air
mission
near
Quang,
Tri
Viet
Nam.
He
left
behind
his
loving
wife,
mrs.
Patricia
O'leary,
who
he
married
immediately
following
his
graduation
from
officers
basic
school.
One
of
the
great
joys
that
we
get
to
do
in
this
job
is
work
with
our
Veterans
Administration.
S
Our
incredible
Commissioner
work
with
our
returning
veterans,
particularly
to
honor
those
who
have
died
in
service
in
establishing
hero
squares.
This
would
establish
a
hero
square
in
lieutenant
Locke,
lieutenant
O'leary's
neighborhood.
We,
the
intersection
of
Forest
Hill,
Street
and
Robeson
Street,
Jamaica
Plain,
a
beautiful
part
of
my
district,
that
many
of
you
know
well,
and
it's
just
a
small
but
impactful
I
believe
way
to
acknowledge
just
a
true
hero
that
gave
gave
the
ultimate
sacrifice
in
serving
his
City
his
Commonwealth
and
his
country.
S
A
You
Council

Would
anyone

matter
at

Councillor
Malley
moves
for
suspension
and
adoption
of
Dhaka
at

all
in
favor,
say
aye

have
it

has
been
adopted.
A
B
S
You,
madam
president,
it
was
a
pleasure,
as
always
to
partner
with
you
on
this
I,
want
to
begin
by
thanking
my
ward
fellow
for
the
summer
Madison
to
me
who's
with
us
today,
she's
a
rising
senior
Boston
Latin
School
did
a
tremendous
amount
of
research
on
this
initiative,
so
Thank
You,
Madison
I
rise
today
in
order
to
urge
our
body
to
support
the
concept
of
extending
the
MBTA
MBTA
Green
Line,
the
e
line
service
from
Heath
Street
to
hide
square
to
canary
square
really
along
the
South
Huntington
Avenue.
Last
year.
S
This
body
support
a
resolution
unanimously
that
designated
the
hyde
square
as
Hyde
Square
through
Jackson
Square
as
Boston's
Latin
Quarter.
It's
a
neighborhood
that
reflects
our
city's
rich
cultural
diversity
with
a
history
of
decades
of
immigration
from
the
Caribbean
and
Central
and
South
America,
one
in
which
65
percent
of
its
businesses
are
owned
and
operated
by
immigrants.
Extending
streetcar
service
to
this
area
will
create
a
more
accessible
route
for
travel
and
will
create
an
opportunity
for
new
commuters
to
engage
with
various
businesses
within
the
neighborhood.
S
The
project
would
cover
approximately
6/10
of
a
mile
from
the
heat
street
train
station
into
Hyde
square,
but
would
absolutely
relieve
the
pressure
building
on
the
39
bus
route.
Today,
the
39
is
overcrowded
and
consistently
adheres
to
its
scheduled,
not
provide
adequate
service
to
the
neighborhoods,
as
it
travels
through
streetcar
service
would
more
than
double
the
capacity
currently
being
served
by
an
individual
bus.
Now
some
of
you
may
remember
about
10
years
ago
are
probably
longer
than
that.
S
15
or
so
years
ago
there
was
a
movement
to
extend
the
Heath
Street
Green
Line,
all
the
way
to
Forest
Hill
station.
This
does
not
do
that.
That
would
be
a
much
more
expensive
proposal.
The
streets
got
a
lot
narrower
there.
There
wasn't
as
much
support
for
this.
This
is
is
quite
different.
It
would
extend
the
Green
Line
the
e
line
through,
what's
known
as
canary
or
cannery
square,
depending
on
your
pronunciation
and
essentially
make
a
loop.
S
Now
it's
important
to
do
it
now,
because
we
have
thousands,
literally
thousands
of
new
units
of
housing
being
built
along
that
less
than
half
our
court
just
about
half
a
mile
corridor
in
the
39
bus,
which
runs
through
most
of
our
districts,
is
something
that
that
is,
is
chronically
underfunded
and
just
has
been
a
real
issue.
This
would
help
alleviate
a
lot
of
their
service.
S
It's
the
right
thing
to
do
obviously
good
for
the
environment,
because
it
will
encourage
more
people
to
use
public
transit
come
so
president,
Wu
and
I
are
asking
today
for
suspension
and
adoption
of
this
resolution
as
well,
and
we
hope
that
we
can
get
this
a
reality
for
the
neighborhoods
of
back
of
the
hill
and
Jamaica
Plain.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Malley,
thank
you
for
the
leader
for
your
leadership
and
the
opportunity
to
partner
what
anyone
like
to
sign
on.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
add
councillors
a
comes
name:
it
council,
Kressley,
Council,
Baker,
councillor,
sabe,
George,
councillor,
CLO,
councillor
flirty,
councillor
Jackson,
and
at
this
time
councillor
Malley
moves
for
suspension
and
adoption
of
docket
one
one.
Four,
four,
all
in
favor
say
aye
any
posts
saying

D
You
madam
chair
today,
rise
to
offer
a
resolution
declaring
August
31st
overdose,
Awareness
Day
in
the
city
of
Boston.
As
we
know,
substance
use
disorder
is
a
growing
epidemic.
Like
many
diseases,
substance
use
takes
a
toll
on
the
person
suffering
and
those
who
interact
with
them.
Addiction
knows
no
boundaries
and
crosses
lines
of
income.
Color
education
level
in
neighborhood
six
people
die
from
opioid
related
overdose.
D
196
people
died
in
the
city
of
Boston
from
accidental
overdose
in
this
last
year.
The
scope
of
this
problem
is
bigger
than
we
often
realize
four
out
of
ten
Massachusetts
residents
to
know
someone
who
was
misused,
prescription
painkillers
in
the
last
five
years-
that's
forty
percent,
so
many
of
us
in
this
room
have
been
touched
by
substance
use
and
those
that
suffer
from
it.
D
And
earlier
today
we
heard
from
two
mothers
who
have
experienced
loss,
both
loss
of
life
and
loss
of
a
loved
one
to
the
substance,
use
disorder
that
they
face
for
those
struggling
with
substance
use
disorders
battling
stigma
is
another
hurdle.
They
may
also
must
also
face.
Stigma
may
prevent
someone
from
seeking
help.
Stigma
may
prevent
someone
from
talking
about
the
challenges
they
face
and
will
continue
to
face.
This
is
what
overdose
Awareness
Day
is
about
fighting
stigma
by
embracing
our
community,
showing
support
and
remembering
those
we
have
lost
officially
observing
overdose.
D
Awareness
Day
in
the
city
of
Boston
is
important
way
for
us
to
show
that
our
city
and
the
rest
of
the
world
are
facing
this
crisis
head-on.
There
are
several
events
going
on
in
the
city
around
the
absorbes
Ervin's
of
the
overdose
Awareness
Day
and
I'd
like
to
invite
all
of
you
to
join
me
on
City
Hall,
plaza,
along
with
the
mayor
in
the
office
of
recovery
services,
as
well
as
other
community
leaders,
as
we
hold
an
interfaith
ceremony
honoring.
Those
impacts
by
overdose
on
October
31st
from
5:00
to
6:30
p.m.
D
this
will
also
serve
as
the
beginning
of
the
city
of
Boston's
recovery
month,
which
will
include
include
programming
through
the
month
of
September.
I
would
also
thank
thank
folks
from
Rosie's
place
and
other
organizations
that
will
also
do
some
events
I'd
like
to
thank
Brittany
orange
from
my
office,
who
was
an
intern
from
UMass
Boston
from
doing
it
for
doing
so
much
work
to
put
together
the
ordinance
and
help
in
coordinating
the
event,
Thank
You,
Brittany
and
I
move
for
suspension
and
ask
for
a
passage
of
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
You
councillor

George,
Madame

please

please,

co-moh

Baker
councillor
Jackson,
councillor,
Linehan,
councillor,
McCarthy,
councillor,
Malley,
councilor,
Pressley
councillors
a
come.
Please
have
the
chairs
name
at
this
time.
Councillor
sabe
George
moves
for
suspension
and
adoption
of
docket
one
one.
Four,
five,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
Nepos,
say:
nay
the
eyes.
Have
it
docket
one
one.
Four
five
has
been
adopted.
B
M
I
am
happy
that
our
body
is
speaking
loudly
about
the
issues
of
our
country,
about
Charlottesville
and
about
the
unity
and
solidarity
that
we
must
have
in
a
resolve
that
we
must
have
I
will
be
seeking
suspension
and
adoption.
Counselor
Presley
eloquently
noted
that
we
need
to
be
about
with
the
rejection
of
hate,
bigotry
and
white
supremacy
right
on
one
of
our
islands
in
right
off
the
coast
of
our
borders.
There
is
a
monument,
a
statue
that
is
memorializing
the
Confederacy.
M
We
need
to
remove
this
and
we
can
send
it
back
return
to
sender
if
the
those
who
who
put
it
forward
would
like
it
and
that's
fine.
We
also
stand
with
the
Governor
on
this.
He
said
we
should
refrain
from
the
display
of
symbols
that
do
not
support
liberty
and
equality
for
the
residents
of
Massachusetts.
M
It
has
been
boarded
up,
but
this
needs
to
be
removed
and
relocated
in
our
city
in
our
time,
so
I
will
be
putting
this
forward
for
suspension
and
adoption
and
look
forward
to
working
with
the
United
States
parks
department
and
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
to
remove
the
Confederate
prisoner
monument
from
George's
Island.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
president.
Thank.
A
R
Wish
I
asked
but
add
my
name,
I,
think
governor
Baker,
councillor
Jackson
for
their
leadership
and
I
did
just
want
to
say
symbols
do
matter,
and
while
we
are
having
a
debate
and
going
through
the
necessary
steps
to
tear
down
the
house
of
hate
that
we
should
also
be
thinking
about
what
we
will
replace
it
with,
and
so.
I
hope
that
this
opens
up
a
broader
conversation
about
our
monuments
and
our
public
art
and
our
symbols
to
make
sure
that
there
is
parity
in
representation
of
the
contributions
of
women
as
well
as
people
of
color.

The
vote
on
docket
number
one.
One.
Four

was
unanimous
with
two
absent.
B
B
T
You,
madam
president,
all
too
often
in
our
neighborhoods
we
were
seeing
instances
of
gun
violence
taking
place
and
those
settings
range
from
parks
and
playgrounds,
streets
and
sidewalks
homes
and
even
in
our
schools.
That's
why
I'm
presenting
today
resolution
that
highlights
House
bill
three
zero:
eight
one
sponsored
by
Massachusetts
state
representative,
David
linski
out
of
Natick,
which
calls
for
allowing
court
orders
to
temporarily
separate
at-risk
individuals
from
their
firearms.
T
This
legislation,
which
is
pending
at
the
State
House,
would
allow
family
and
household
members,
police,
District,
Attorney's
health
care
professionals
to
go
to
court
and
seek
extreme
risk
protection
orders
from
individuals
who
pose
a
significant
danger
to
themselves
and
others,
particularly
those
who
are
suffering
from
mental
health
issues.
And/Or
substance,
abuse
issues.
This
legislation
would
allow
judges
to
impose
an
immediate
10-day
bar
on
the
possession
or
purchase
of
guns
and
extend
the
order
to
a
year
and
after
a
full
hearing.
T
It
should
be
noted
that,
while
this
legislation
has
received
criticism
from
gun
rights
advocates
House
bill
three
zero.
Eight
one
contains
robust
due
process
provisions
to
ensure
that
the
Second
Amendment
rights
are
respected.
Similar
laws
are
in
place
in
Washington
Connecticut
in
Indiana,
and
now
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
has
a
chance
to
join
this
list.
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
move
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
the
resolution
so
that
the
Boston
City
Council
can
go
on
record
in
support
of
mass
House
bill.
T
Three
zero,
eight
one
offered
by
Massachusetts
State
Representative
Dave
Olinsky,
and
cannot
share
with
you
the
personal
experiences
from
dealing
with
family
and
friends
with
respect
to
the
opioid
crisis,
but
also
as
a
former
assistant
district
attorney
and
the
correlation
between
those
suffering
from
mental
health
issues
and
those
suffering
from
substance
abuse,
issues
of
their
and
the
quantity
of
firearms
that
those
individuals
possessing
oftentimes
it'll,
be
a
spouse
or
a
child
of
those
that
are
afflicted.
That
will
actually
come
forward
because
they
know
where
the
gun
or
the
guns
are
in
that
particular
home.
T
And
so
we
have
a
situation
here
where
we're
trying
to
minimize
gun
violence,
but
particularly
those
that
are
suffering
from
mental
health
and
substance
issues.
We
have
a
new
opportunity
hit
through
this
House
bill
to
allow
the
courts
judges
in
particular
to
give
them
that
opportunity
to
do
a
10-day
bar
and
potentially
even
further
upon
a
full
hearing
of
that
individuals.
Situation
and
right
so
urge
my
colleagues
to
sign
on
and
would
love
to
move
for
suspension
adoption.
Thank
you
minute.
President
Thank.
A
I
A
J
B
A
This
docket
is
a
follow-on
to
the
ordinance
at
the
Council
passed
at
our
last
meeting,
sponsored
by
counselors,
flirty
and
Campbell,
that
created
the
process
and
procedures
for
the
Community
Preservation
Committee,
the
exec,
the
director,
whom
is
with
us
today,
christine
Poff.
We
will
be
the
administration's
representative
or
director
for
the
Committee
on
the
council
side.
A
As
we've
been
saying
throughout
the
process,
we
very
much
want
the
council
to
remain
an
engaged
partner
and
therefore
we
are
entering
or
I
am
officially
asking
the
council
to
change
our
committee
structure
to
add
a
special
committee
focused
on
the
Community
Preservation
Act.
The
purpose
of
this
committee
will
be
first
to
help
nominate
the
councils
for
seats
to
that
committee
in
partnership
with
community
and
then
after
that,
to
continue
to
be
the
liaison
and
work
with
the
CPC
itself.
The
Community
Preservation
Committee
on
public
open,
transparent
discussions
on
the
allocation
of
those
CPA
fun.
A
So
you
have
the
the
language
before
you
in
order
to
change
the
city
council
rules
partway
through
the
session.
We
do
need
a
two-thirds
affirmative
vote,
so
I'm
asking
for
suspension
and
passage,
but
we'll
pause
and
in
case
anyone
has
comment
cancer
floated
it
would
you
like
to
add
anything:
okay,
anyone
else
great,
then,
at
this
time,
chair
moves
for
suspension
and
passage
of
docket,
one
one.
Four,
eight
all
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
thank
you

could
you
please

whoo

and

as
akin
council

Madam
president,
docket
number
one
one:
four,
eight!
You
see:
seven
eleven
votes
in
the
affirmative,
two
votes
absent
via
forth
past.
A
Target
number
one:
one:
four
eight
has
been
passed
with
an
11
to
zero
vote.
I
do
want
to
mention,
there's
going
to
be
an
accompanying
late
file
to
create
a
working
group
to
advise
the
special
committee
now
that
it's
officially
created,
but
first
we'll
finish.
The
formal
agenda
with
personnel
orders.
A
A
A
B
A
It
became
clear
that
the
first
phase
work
for
for
the
committee
and
for
the
larger
effort
will
be
different
from
the
work
to
come
in
that
we
are
now
composing
the
committee
from
scratch
and
also
deciding
what
the
application
form
looks
like
how
its
disseminated,
how
how
the
outreach
happens
and
and
what
the
procedures
are
for
selecting
members.
So
this
working
group,
again
in
similar
to
previous
council
working
groups
of
a
90-day
fashion,
will
report
back
work
with
the
special
committee
and
report
back
to
the
full
council
with
recommendations,
any
questions
or
comments.
Oh.
A
Finally,
I
wanted
to
just
mention
that,
because
it
was
a
lay
file,
this
document
wasn't
available.
We
will
make
sure
to
put
it
online
as
soon
as
possible,
but
you
heard
the
the
meat
of
it
right
into
the
record.
It
does
formally
recognize
the
yes
for
a
better
Boston
coalition
as
partners
in
this
phase
and
as
part
of
the
working
group,
as
well
as
representatives
from
the
business
community
and
other
stakeholders,
as
the
chair
will
set.
A
Now
we
just
need
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
with
the
additional
late
filed
matter.
No
objection.
The
matter
is
added
and
chair
moves.
Adoption
of
the
consent
agenda,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
consent
agenda
is
adopted.
Would
anyone
like
to
pull
a
matter
from
the
green
sheets?
Councillor
flirty
here
the
floor.
A
T
You
madam
clerk
and
madam
president,
docket
1,000
deals
with
the
language
that
pertains
to
sandwich
boards
and
sidewalk
signs.
The
ordinance
would
remove
the
pilot
program
language.
It
would
make
this
regulation
permanent.
This
is
a
matter
that
the
City
Council
in
the
administration
had
been
working
on
jointly
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
along
with
other
stakeholders
that
have
been
part
of
this
conversation.
In
fact,
council
is
a
come,
has
just
recently
offered
an
amendment
that
is
currently
under
consideration
by
inspectional
services.
T
A
S
A
A
B
This
includes
the
payment
of
all
costs
into
incidental
a
related
thereto
and
for
which
the
city
of
Boston
may
be
eligible
for
a
grant
from
the
Massachusetts
School
Building
Authority
known
as
MSB
a
set
amount
to
be
expended
under
the
direction
of
the
public
facilities
Department.
On
behalf
of
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
it
was
referred
to
Committee
on
July
12
2017.
Q
You
again,
as
the
clerk
just
read,
we
had
our
first
affirmative
vote
on
August,
2nd
and
now
we
need
to
take
our
second
vote
in
order
to
appropriate
the
600,000
necessary
to
provide
for
the
funding
for
the
schematic
design
and
we
are
in
line
to
receive
up
to
65%
reimbursement
from
the
mass
school
building
authority.
So
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
vote
in
the
affirmative
again.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.

A
J
J
I
commented
on
a
little
bit
when,
when
I
eulogize
my
dad
it's
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
parenting,
guidebook
anybody,
that's
driven
home
with
their
children
for
the
first
time
like
when
I,
first
drove
home
with
my
wife
and
I
twins
like
what
goes
through
your
head
is
just
an
amazing
thing,
because
you're
actually
responsible
for
those
people
that
are
in
the
back,
because
they're
actual
people
so
I
wanted
my
colleagues
just
kind
of
read
through
this
a
little
bit.
It's
not.
This
is
the
right
way
or
the
wrong
way.
J
It
just
kind
of
goes
through
what
different
people
and
different
different
socioeconomic
backgrounds.
The
way
people
are
raising
their
children
and
I
have
to
also
give
a
shout
out
to
my
wife,
because
she
was
raised
by
a
single
single
parent
and
she
had
the
wherewithal
to
really
be
a
sponge
when
she
was
in
college,
she
she
babysat
for
Laura
up
a
middle-class
rich
people.
We
have
families
and
she
watched
what
the
parents
were
doing
and
now
she
does
a
lot
of
that
stuff
with
with
our
kids
and
I,
need
to
thank
her
for
that.
J
But
but
more
I
just
want
to
talk
about
my
mother
prays
my
mother.
She
came
here
with
the
fifth
grade
education
and
told
us
the
most
important
thing
to
ever
do
for
anybody
or
any
situation
is
bring
love
into
the
situation,
and
you
don't
necessarily
and
when,
when
I
say,
love
I
don't
mean
loving.
That
way,
love
I
mean
a
respect
and
a
love
of
humans
and
a
love
of
what
we're
doing
and
and
I
think
it.
It
allows
us
to
be
fair
and
balanced
and
and
to
be
able
to
listen
to
the
other
side.
J
All
the
time,
I
think
a
lot
of
our
issues
that
we're
having
in
the
country
now
may
be
based
on
people
not
being
able
to
get
at
the
table
and
talk
to
people
I,
don't
necessarily
always
agree
with
everybody,
but
I'm
always
gonna
sit
in
front
of
somebody
and
listen
to
what
they
have
to
say.
So
it's
my
parents,
one-year
anniversary,
like
you
guys
know
they
died
right
near
each
other,
I'm
still
suffering
through
it
a
little
bit,
but
that's
just
a
gift
from
my
parents
to
you
guys.
Thank
you.
