C
D
D
D
D
D
D
I'm
black,
my
wife,
is
black.
My
kids
are
black.
I
live
in
a
black
neighborhood,
so
I
had
a
real
concern.
Having
been
raised
in
philly,
where
there
are
real
thugs,
I
left
philadelphia
to
come
to
boston,
to
go
to
college,
I'm
here
before
you
this
afternoon
to
briefly
issue
a
challenge
to
our
political
leadership
and
very
specifically,
to
black
political
leadership.
D
This
morning
there
was
a
meeting
held
at
the
l.j
baker
house
that
begins
at
9
00
a.m,
where
over
40
organizations
are
represented,
that's
40
real
organizations
on
a
weekly
basis,
some
of
you
I
have
seen
there
some
of
you
I've
seen
once
that.
I
never
saw
you
again,
but
this
morning
we
were
talking
about
the
challenges
that
confront
young
black
people,
as
we
noted
that
in
too
many
of
our
public
schools
there
is
violence,
that's
going
on
and
what
makes
the
issue
of
violence
bad
is
that
the
victims
are
overwhelmingly
young
black
people.
D
Yet
I
want
everyone
to
catch.
This
northeastern
university
have
armed
security
details
that
protect
those
affluent
non-black
people
that
attend
that
university,
harvard
university,
where
there's
lots
of
danger
and
violence.
They
have
armed
details
that
protect
the
rich
white
people
and
the
bourgeois
black
people
who
attend
mit
boston
university.
D
D
D
Yet,
when
we
talk
about
saving
the
lives
of
black
children
at
madison
park
or
the
henderson,
where
there's
violence,
the
elected
representatives
of
color
should
have
been
the
first
people
that
stood
up
and
said,
we
must
ensure
security
and
do
whatever
is
necessary
so
that
our
children
don't
have
to
now.
I
want
you
to
get
how
deep
this
is.
Our
children
don't
have
to
arm
themselves
because
there's
not
adequate
security
to
protect
them
when
the
bad
guy
comes
in
with
his
pistol.
D
D
D
I
want
to
issue
a
challenge.
I
invite
all
of
you.
The
violence
reduction
task
force
has
been
around
since
1998
consistently.
In
fact,
we
have
had
visitors
from
france,
germany,
italy,
the
united
kingdom,
jamaica,
where
they've
come
to
examine
a
model
and
I'm
going
to
end
on
this
boston.
In
fact,
if
you've
lived
on
the
planet,
earth
and
you've
been
to
philadelphia,
jersey,
city
new
orleans
chicago,
which
is
essentially
a
country
baltimore
boston
in
comparison
to
any
of
those
cities.
E
F
D
D
We
need
responsible
law
enforcement.
There
were
some
fools
that
said,
defund
the
police,
no,
we
needed
to
reform
the
police
and
we
need
political
leadership
that
have
the
courage
and
the
decency
to
defend
the
interests
of
the
poor,
don't
wink
at
protection
for
the
wealthy
and
the
affluent,
and
then
let
our
children
go
to
schools
where
they
live
in
fear,
because
their
political
leadership
has
morally
and
politically
failed
them,
and
on
that
note
I
want
to
pray
god.
We
thank
you
and
praise
you
for
your
goodness,
your
love
and
your
mercy.

B
G
Just
to
confirm
that
those
three
appointments
don't
require
confirmation
by
the
council,
because
it's
the
previous
appointments
for
that
board.
I
know
we've
sat
and
done
confirmation,
and
I
just
I
know
the
board
is
urgently
in
need
of
a
quorum.
So
if,
in
fact,
the
council
does
need
to
act
on
these,
I
would
rather,
we
figure
that
out,
while
we
can
still
do
reconsideration
during
the
meeting.
A
A
Thank
you,
council
flaherty.
We
will
check
that
during
this
hearing
and
we
will
we'll
figure
out
the
answer
for
that.
Thank
you,
council
black,
for
bringing
that

our
attention

B
A
F
On
monday,
boston
city
council
committee
on
education,
294
order
for
a
hearing
regarding
a
cradle
to
career
system,
sponsored
by
my
colleagues,
counselor
rorell,
murphy
and
flaherty.
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
councillor
royale
for
bringing
this
forth
to
the
council
and
his
leadership
in
the
space
really
happy
to
to
have
shared
the
space
with
you
for
the
first
time
on
the
council
floor.
So
so
it's
great
to
be
with
you.
F
Alongside
this,
we
were
also
joined
by
our
colleagues,
councilors
phillyn
breeden,
luigen,
fernandez,
anderson
and
from
the
administration.
We
were
joined
by
marcia
ines
mitchell,
bps,
director
of
post-secondary
partnerships
and
initiatives,
rasad
kope,
who
is
the
director
of
youth
engagement
and
employment
and
alex
thaddez
the
executive
director
of
office
of
women's
advancement.
F
We
were
also
joined
by
a
wide
array
of
advocates
and
experts
on
this
issue,
including
will
austin
dr
nancy
hill
penny,
bender,
simbrain,
kristen,
mcswain,
renee
dozier
and
dr
sarah
cherry
rice.
We
have
we
had
a
great
discussion
around
the
concept
of
a
system
that
monitors
a
student's
success
and
future
career
aspirations
from
a
young
age,
and
we
also
learn
from
the
administration
that
there's
currently
not
a
clear
and
centralized
database
of
information
on
students.
That's
monitoring
students
development
can
sometimes
be
the
responsibility
of
several
different
departments.
F
F
As
I
always
say,
boston
is
a
resource,
rich
city,
but
a
coordination
poor
and
this
hearing
really
lifted
that
up.
I'm
hoping
that
we
will
be
able
to
follow
up
with
the
administration,
either
through
a
working
session
and
potentially
through
some
other
legislative
action,
which
I
know
council
royale
will
be
all
up
for
it
and
I'm
going
to
be
asking
that
we
keep
this
docket
in
committee
and
and
invite
the
lead
sponsor
if
he
is
prepared.
So
if
flynn
says
yes
to
say
a
few
remarks,
so
I'm
going
to
take
a
seat
now.
H
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
thank
you
to
central
staff.
I
know
this
was
a
long
hearing,
my
staff,
my
colleagues,
co-sponsors
with
me
on
this
council
murphy
and
council
flaherty,
I'm
looking,
I'm
looking
for
forward
to
your
continued
collaboration
and
a
special
thank
you
to
councillor
mejia
for
sharing
such
a
great
hearing.
H
This
was
my
first
hearing
on
the
matter
I
sponsored
so
it
was
excited
to
see
the
enthusiasm
around
this
idea.
We
heard
from
such
incredible
panelists
rashad
cope,
alex
valdez
and
marcia
enos
mitchell
from
the
administration
and
will
austin
dance.
Dr
nancy
hill
penny
bender
sebring,
kristen,
mcswain,
renee
dozer
and
dr
cyrus
terry
rice.
It
is
so
refreshing
to
hear
from
so
many
advocates
around
a
shared
goal
for
moving
the
needle
for
our
young
people
in
their
system.
H
H
Opera
relation
lies
to
continue
to
push
the
needle
for
our
young
people,
for
example,
dr
nancy
hill
of
the
boston
area
research
initiative,
who
is
also
a
developmental
psychologist,
spoke
to
the
different
types
of
longitudinal
data
that
speaks
to
the
mindset
of
our
students
and
the
outlook
of
the
job
market,
which
then
determines
how
they
engage
in
school.
The
department
would
ideally
take
the
collected
surveys
from
students,
quantity,
quantitative
data
from
our
schools,
311
cases,
911
calls
building
permits
and
additional
metrics
to
create
the
index
interface
needed
to
use
this
data
to
inform
policy.
H
The
goal
is
that
this
will
be
a
vehicle
to
validate
and
evaluate
the
data
that
reflects
what
risks
and
opportunities
students
bring
with
them
in
their
backpacks,
based
on
the
neighborhoods
and
the
amount
of
resources
available
to
them.
This
helps
determine
where
we
should
be
allocated
and
funded
and
programming
based
on
opportunities
to
move
the
needle
for
our
young
people.
H
We
are
happy
to
see
that
this
has
inspired
our
colleagues
to
introduce
something
similar
that
focus
on
parent
engagement
and
we
hope
to
congrat
collaborate
and
with
every
and
every
interested
stakeholder
on
their
efforts
to
streamline
data
and
create
clear
pathways
for
our
young
people
by
giving
them
all
the
support
that
they
need.
Thank
you.
A
A
F
Thank
you.
Mr
president,
the
committee
on
government,

two
zero

In
order
for
a
hearing
on
government
transparency
and
accountability
towards
surveillance
equipment.
This
matter
was
sponsored
by
myself
and
counselor
arroyo
and
we
were
joined
by
my
colleagues,
councilor
bach
flaherty,
illusion,
anderson
anderson
from
anderson
lara
flynn
edwards,
who
is
the
vice
chair
of
the
committee
from
the
administration.
F
We
were
joined
by
lisa
o'brien
bureau,
chief
of
administration
and
technology
superintendent,
philippe
colon
bureau,
chief
of
investigative
services
sergeant
detective
eric
bulman
special
investigations
unit
and
marine
joyce
who's,
the
city
auditor.
We
were
also
joined
by
fatima
ahmad,
the
executive
director
of
the
muslim
justice
league
and
kate
crawford
from
the
aclu
our
first
hearing
in
this
committee.
As
our
first
hearing
in
this
committee,
I
would
like
to
express
my
thanks
to
all
of
our
colleagues
for
coming
prepared
with
excellent
questions.
F
I
have
to
say
my
colleagues
brought
it
brought
in
some
really
great
perspective,
so
really
do
appreciate
your
level
of
willingness
to
lean
in
and
and
really
help
us
get
to
some
of
the
root
causes
of
some
of
the
transparency
and
of
trans
accessibility
issues
that
we
have
been
facing
here
in
the
city.
For
far
too
long,
we
learned
a
lot
regarding
the
purchasing
of
the
cell
site
stimulator
how
it's
used
and
what
the
process
is
in
regards
to
how
civil
asset
forfeiture
dollars
are
used.
F
We
also
walked
away
from
the
hearing
with
a
number
of
requests
for
information
which
will
be
following
up
in
the
coming
days.
Specifically,
we
will
be
asking
for
information
on
the
following:
the
1997
agreement
and
the
federal
equitable
sharing
agreement
mentioned
during
counselor's
box
questioning
information
regarding
the
federal
database
on
civil
asset.
Further,
a
breakdown
of
the
civil
asset
for
which
dollars
obtained
from
individuals
with
convictions
versus
non-convictions,
a
breakdown
of
the
extinction
circumstances
a
log
of
every
time
the
cell
site
simulator,
has
been
turned
on,
as
recommended
by
k.
F
A
A
B
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
president,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
merge
these.
These
two
docket
numbers
the
first
one,
zero
one,
nine
two
was
filed
by
council
bloc
and
co-sponsored
by
council
louisiana.
It
was
to
discuss
land
use
tools
for
public
good,
basically,
urban
renewal
tools
that
we
have
that
are
available
to
us
and-
and
I
believe,
council
block
will
get
up
and
speak
about
some
of
those.
So
we
had
two
separate
two
separate
panels.
C
The
first
panel
was
from
the
bpda
and
they
spoke
on
zero,
three
one,
four,
which
was
the
extension
for
14
urban
renewal
areas,
and
and
so
we
were
able
to
dig
into
a
lot
of
content.
We
talked
about
ldas,
quite
a
bit:
land
disposition,
land
disposition
agreements,
we
talked
about
land
trusts
and
and
a
whole
lot
of
there
was
a
whole
lot
of
content
content
there.
But
what
we
came
up
with
with
the
14
with
the
14
urban
renewal
areas.
Six
years
ago
we
took
a
vote
to
extend
it
to
this
april.
C
So
basically,
if
we
don't
take
a
vote
on
this,
all
14
of
these
go
away
and
within
those
districts
there's
there's
a
number
of
tools
that
that
we
use
that
help
us
in
developing
and
also
protect
the
ldas
protect,
affordable
housing.
They
protect
open
space,
they
protect
a
whole,
a
whole
wide
range
of
different
things.
C
So
what
we
come
up
with
out
of
the
14,
I
believe
we're
going
to
take
votes
on
on
extending
nine
of
them
and
we're
thinking
about
we're,
not
gonna,
we're
not
taking
a
vote
on
this
today,
we're
looking
to
bring
it
to
a
vote
next
week,
so
councils
haven't
have
a
a
week
to
talk
about
it,
see
what's
within
their
districts.
I
know.
Council
warrell
has
some
changes,
so
we
want
to
give
different
people
different
times,
but
we're
looking
to
extend
nine
of
them.
C
10
of
them
extend
extend
10
of
them
because
we
added
park
plaza
in
there
park
plaza
was
on
was
on
the
list
that
we
would
sunset,
but
there
are
some
major
concerns
around
height
issues
and
things
like
that
around
park
plaza,
so
we
will
have
the
vote
on
that.
Hopefully,
next
week
and
council
of
flaherty
came
up
with
wanted
to
extend
it
two
years
and
do
a
six-month
check-in
every
two
years.
C
So
what
I
think
we're
looking
at
doing
and
we're
open
to
it
is
extended
a
year
and
do
a
six-month
check-in,
which
would
be,
I
believe,
in
the
end
of
september,
so
we'll
these
will
remain
in
committee
and
we'll
vote
on
them.
We'll
vote
on
zero
three
one
four
next
week
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
the
to
the
to
the
lead
sponsor
of
zero
one.
Nine
two
council
bloc.
A
G
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
thank
you
to
councillor
baker
for
running
such
a
thorough
hearing
yesterday
and
to
my
co-sponsor
councillor
louis
jen.
We
appreciated
everybody's
indulgence,
letting
us
combine
these
two
things,
because
in
some
ways
they
were
kind
of
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.
On
the
one
hand,
we've
got
the
long
and
difficult
legacy
in
the
city
of
urban
renewal.
G
At
the
same
time,
some
of
the
stuff
we
were
talking
about
yesterday
was
how
do
we
think
about
like
using
some
of
these
tools
that
we
have
for
things
like
community
land
trust
for
things
like
building
social
housing
on
public
land,
and
I
think
we
had
a
really
good
second
panel
with
some
of
the
advocates
in
those
spaces
thinking
about
on
the
climate
mitigation
side.
How
do
we
assemble
land
parcels
where
we
might
need
them
to
protect
the
fringes
of
the
city?
G
So
I
think
it
was
a
really
productive
conversation
and
as
counselor
as
councillor
baker
said,
I
think
you
know.
The
first
part
came
out
with
some
kind
of
that
good
good
trajectories
for
the
immediate
decision
at
hand,
but
I'm
very
optimistic
about
the
opportunity
for
the
council
to
be
part
of
a
real
re-envisioning
of
how
we
use
land-use
tools,
okay
and
public
land,
for
public
good
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
everybody
who
came.
A
B
B
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
mr
president,
so
in
my
experiences,
I'm
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
my
efforts
in
my
past
experiences
and
things
that
I've
developed
over
the
years
working
in
behavioral
health
working
for
the
boston,
public
schools,
as
well
as
just
working
in
community
advocacy
as
well.
So
as
a
foster
parent.
I
There
are
so
many
ways
that
there
are
resources
already
existing,
that
supports
our
children
in
the
community
or
lack
thereof
when
you're
a
parent,
especially
when
you're
a
single
parent,
and
you
lack
resources
to
navigate
a
child's
schedule
to
navigate
all
of
these
services
that
come
into
place,
especially
with
a
high
level
care
of
foster
care.
You
definitely
need
more
resources
to
be
able
to
consolidate
all
of
these
services.
I
You
know,
follow
through
with
the
therapeutic
treatment
plans,
and
so
you
give
them
charts.
You
create
different
ways
of
navigating
these
systems
or
of
supporting
that
child
with
that
out
of
school
time.
But
it's
all
over
the
place.
You
know
people
are
inundated
with.
Stressors
people
are
busy,
people
have
two
jobs,
and
there
are
so
many
collaterals
and
different
services
coming
in
to
the
child's
home,
and
so
all
of
these
charts
are
not
enough
to
be
able
to
consolidate
services
and
to
be
able
to
organize
a
child's
out
of
school
time.
I
What
iden
did
is
create
a
toolbox
that
I
would
give
parents
right.
So
back
back,
then
it
would
be
a
toolbox
that
you
know,
one
is
for
behavior
modification
or
one
is
understanding
a
child
diagnosis
and
what
that
meant
in
order
to
follow
through
with
the
treatment
plan.
This
one
is
for
de-escalating
crisis.
This
one
is
for
communication.
This
one
is
for
maybe
problem
solving.
I
It's
a
lot
on
a
parent.
It's
a
lot
for
them
to
track
your
child's
all
of
the
physical
appointments
with
the
doctors.
Maybe
the
alternative
for
psych
meds
is
physical
therapy
or
some
sort
of
you
know
fitness
and
wellness,
nutrition
and
all
the
other
stuff.
So
I
thought
what
an
opportunity
would
be
to
create
this
toolbox
that
offered
all
of
it
in
one
place,
so
I
actually
created
this,
and
I
would
do
like
group
therapy
and
all
these
other
stuff
that
would
do
it.
I
Then,
when
I
went
into
bps,
I
worked
partly
with
parent
university
as
well
as
family
engagement,
where
you
can,
parents
can
attain
classes
or
credit
courses
by
taking
these
courses.
That
would
support
their
children
with
academic
supports
in
the
home,
and
I
also
taught
esl
so
then
I
went
into
creating
this
curriculum
sort
of
a
binder
that
parents
can
also
support
the
children
with
academic
supports
in
the
home,
so
always
thinking
of
how
to
consolidating
this
and
making
it
easier
for
parents.
I
Here
I
am
in
city
hall,
I
thought
wow
here
we
go
full
circle
right
as
a
parent
as
a
single
parent.
We
know
for
those
of
you
who
are
not
parents.
Yet,
even
when
you
have
your
nieces
and
nephew
with
you
or
your
babysitting,
it's
a
lot
and
let's
admit
it
at
first,
you
kind
of
wing
it
you
just
you
know
what
I
mean
your
first
child
breaks
a
leg.
Your
second
child
is
okay.
Your
third
child
is
a
genius,
that's
the
child.
I
That
makes
it
so
I
am
proposing
that
we
get
together
and
talk
about
the
possibilities
of
looking
at
different
curriculums,
the
possibility
of
looking
at
already
stuff
that's
already
in
place.
How
do
we
collaborate,
maybe
with
a
tech
company
or
maybe
a
school,
to
look
at
a
possibility
of
one
location?
I
To
put
all
of
this
so
that
one,
the
parent
is
saying,
johnny,
brushes
teeth
or
behavior
modification
you
get
stars
and
the
incentive
is
at
the
end
of
the
week.
You
get
allowance,
but
you
track
it
all.
In
one
place
me
and
my
kids,
I'm
a
tomboy.
I
know
I
look
cute,
I'm
very
girly,
but
I'm
a
tomboy.
I
ride
a
pickup
truck,
so
I
used
to
run
with
my
kids
five
o'clock
in
the
morning.
But
what
if
this
app
could
also
do
physical
fitness
tracking?
What
if
this
app
can?
I
Also
do
nutrition
you're
we're
teaching
parents
to
have
very
little
resources
to
put
all
of
this
in
one
place
and
help
them
to
be
involved?
Homeschool
connection
therapeutic
intervention
follow
support,
behavior
modification
connecting
to
the
psych
connecting
to
all
the
services.
All
on
one
location.
I
We
know
with
digital
divide:
parents
are
not
all,
don't
always
have
the
time
or
the
access
to
go
on
computers,
but
they're
on
facebook,
right
they're
on
twitter
they
have
a
phone,
and
so
maybe
we
can
use
those
resources
to
make
it
more
accessible
user
friendly
and
support
our
families
in
improving
and
setting
up
their
child
for
success.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
J
Wanted
to
rise
to
thank
the
maker.
I
think
this
is
an
incredibly
creative
approach
to
having
the
city
meet
people
where
they
are
and
really
acknowledging
who
the
people
are
and
what
their
day-to-day
concerns
and
issues
are.
Coming
from
the
perspective
of
a
single
parent
coming
from
somebody
who,
as
you
said,
is
just
trying
to
manage
so
many
balls
in
the
air.
J
Creating
an
app
or
creating
a
city
service
is
what
I
see
it
as
that
meets
people
there,
so
they
can
download
it
and
possibly
help
organize
wealth,
organize
health
organize
their
day-to-day
concerns
and
issues,
and
this
is
part
of
a
lot
of
conversations
when
it
comes
to
apps,
as
some
of
you
may
be
aware,
attorney
general
maura
healey
had
an
app
that
dealt
with
young
people
and
who
are
in
recovery
or
potentially
going
to
be
in
recovery
and
concerns.
So
meeting
people
through
an
app
is
something
a
lot
of
local
governments.
J
If
not,
our
state
government
has
already
tried
to
do,
and
it's
as
and
I
think
it's
it's
wonderful
to
meet
parents
that
way
they
are
already
reaching
out
in
so
many
different
digital
aspects.
To
try
and
deal
with
how
we
run
how
we
eat,
if
you
have
intermittent
fasting,
if
you
have
social,
social,
social
connections,
meeting
people
across
the
world,
it's
all
happening
on
our
watches.
J
So
the
fact
that
the
city
of
boston
that
is
so
committed
to
meeting
people
where
they
are
should
also
come
up
with
a
way
to
meet
people
on
their
watches
or
on
their
website
that
people
can
download
apps
for
our
school
buses.
We
do
that
right
now
we
download
apps
to
figure
out
all
sorts
of
different
things,
so
I
think
it's
great.
I
also
wanted
to
just
echo
the
work
that
we
have
done
in
the
city
council.
J
So
thank
you
again,
councillor
mejia
for
making
sure
that
as
we
grow
to
meet
people,
we're
meeting
them
that
way
as
well.
So
I
look
forward
to
a
culturally
competent
language,
accessible
app
conversation
about
meeting
parents
and
gathering
resources
together.
Thank
you
so
much
for
starting
that
conversation,
counselor
anderson.
F
Thank
you,
president
flint,
and
thank
you
to
my
sister,
who
is
bringing
so
much
innovation
and
creativity
to
how
we
are
approaching
city
government
and
and
the
role
that
we
play.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
counselor
fernandez
anderson
for
her
thoughtfulness
and
innovative
ways
of
how
we
move
like
through
our
committee
around
accessibility.
These
are
the
sort
of
things
that
we
have
really
been
exploring
like.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
city
services
are
accessible
to
the
people,
so
that
accessibility
piece
is
really
important?
F
And
I
really
do
appreciate
my
colleague,
counselor
edwards,
uplifting
the
fact
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people,
adults.
You
know.
I
often
talk
about
the
fact
that
my
mom
didn't
make
it
beyond
the
third
grade
and
struggles
to
read
and
write,
even
in
her
native
language,
and
as
we
start
thinking
about
accessibility,
that
we
have
to
be
super.
Mindful
of
the
fact
that
we
have
returning
citizens
who
are
coming
back,
who
are
struggling
with
literacy,
we
have
young
people
who
are
being
passed
from
great
to
great
who
are
struggling
with
literacy.
F
So
all
of
our
digital
accessibility
issues
need
to
be
centered
on
the
fact
that
not
everybody
knows
how
to
read
and
write
and
that's
a
privilege
that
a
lot
of
us
have
so
thinking
about
the
use
of
visuals
and
videos.
In
other
ways,
it's
going
to
cost
a
little
bit
more,
but
as
if
we're
serious
about
making
sure
that
it's
everyone
has
access
to
the
information.
Even
if
it's
through
an
app
that
visual
component
and
audio
is
going
to
be
key
to
the
success
of
this.
F
And
I
also
really
do
appreciate
that
you
brought
in
your
own
story
in
terms
of
navigating
because,
as
my
good
colleague
consulata
always
says
that
the
personal
is
political
right
and
when
we're
creating
policies
that
we
have
lived
through,
what
the
solutions
that
we
come
to
the
table
with
are
based
on
things
that
we
wish
we
would
have
had.
And-
and
so
I
I
know
that
your
leadership
in
this
space
not
only
is
going
to
be
about
the
public
hearing
but
you're,
going
to
also
lean
into
it.
F
To
make
sure
that
we
also
get
the
resources
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
do.
It
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
and,
and
council
lada.
I
uplifted
you
and
our
education
committee,
because
you
do
you
do
mention
that
the
personal
is
is
is
political
and
professional,
and
the
in
the
intersectionality
is.
The
expectation
is:
is
that
we're
supposed
to
leave
ourselves
at
the
door
when
we
come
into
this
chamber?
F

Thank

This
is
a
resolution
in
support
of
the
sheraton
hotel
workers.
Many
of
them
are
here
today
but,
as
we
know,
sheraton
hotel
is
managed
by
the
marriott
hotel.
However,
recent
news
reports
have
indicated
that
there's
a
possibility
of
converting
these
rooms
into
dorm
rooms
for
a
particular
university.
A
If
this
happens,
several
hundred
workers
could
lose
their
job
workers
such
as
these
workers,
many
of
them
immigrants,
communities
of
color
women,
hard
workers,
a
job
in
the
hotel
hospitality
industry,
presents
work
as
a
clear
path
to
the
middle
class.
It's
hard
work,
it's
break
back-breaking
work,
but
to
protect
boston
status
as
a
world-class
destination
for
travelers.
A
A
A
A
You
live
in
our
neighborhoods
you're,
our
teachers
you're
our
youth
sports
coaches,
you're
involved
in
little
league
in
the
pta
programs,
so
you're,
really
the
backbone
of
of
our
city
and
we're
proud
of
you
so
it'd
be
unconscionable
in
my
opinion,
for
anyone
to
try
to
downsize
your
work,
because
you
do
a
tremendous
job
representing
yourself,
your
family,
but
also
the
residents
of
boston.
So
I
would
I'd
like
to
ask
my
colleagues
as
well
as
my
original
co-sponsors,
if
they
would
like
to
speak
council
royal.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity.
K
L
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you,
president
flynn
for
sponsoring
this
resolution.
I
stand
in
solid
solidarity
with
our
hotel
workers
who
are
here
today.
We
are
here
to
say
that
we
are
with
you
and
stand
with
you
in
protecting
your
jobs.
President
flynn
did
a
really
great
job
of
saying
who
you
are
you're
our
little
league
coaches
you're.
Our
leaders
in
our
community
we're
the
people
that
we
count
on,
but
for
many
of
us
here
in
this
room,
we're
also
our
family.
L
So
many
of
my
family
members
work
in
the
hotel
industry
are
members
of
a
local
26
and
this
weekend
at
a
political
event,
a
lot
of
people
were
like.
Oh,
I
met
your
sister.
I
met
your
sister
and
for
me
when
I'm
in
that
space,
I
always
think
that
they're
talking
about
meeting
my
sister
who's,
an
assistant
district
attorney,
but
they
told
me
no.
L
K
I
I
to
stand
in
solidarity
with
my
brothers
and
sisters
of
local
26.
I
would
just
wanted
to
share
when
I
when
I,
when
I
came
here
from
cape
verde,
I
know
it's
always
like
when
I
came
here
for
this
country.
It's
not
like
that.
I'm
when
I
came
here
from
k
bird,
my
grandmother
would
sneak
me
in
the
sheraton
hotel
and
I
would
get
all
the
room
service,
all
the
foods,
all
the
snacks
and
then
for
christmas.
They
used
to
do
like
this
whole
like
local
26,
would
come
in.
I
I
She
then,
and
I
would
admire
just
her
tenacity
and
a
and
resiliency
and
her
ability
to
be
able
to
work
and
be
so
disciplined
and
be
able
to
serve
with
humility
and
just
so
much
confidence
that
local
26
was
going
to
protect
her
after
her
retirement,
and
they
did
just
that.
I
think
that
I
speak
for
all
of
us
when
I
say
that
everyone
knows
that
they
do
not
get
paid
enough.
So
that's
the
battle
to
come
after
this.
We
should
definitely
send
in
solidarity.
I
E
You,
mr
chair,
just
rise
to
have
my
name
added.
I'm
always
going
to
be
staunch
supporter
of
our
hotel
workers,
but
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
to
jamie
mcneill
and
his
team
he's
he
and
they
are
ever
present
they're
at
community
meetings,
they're
at
public
events
they're
here
at
city
hall.
They
come
to
our
hearings
and
it's
because
they're
dialed
in
they
pay
attention
to
what
we're
doing
here.
They
pay
attention,
what's
happening
out
in
our
communities,
they're
fighting
for
their
members.
We
spoke
regularly.
E
I
know
that
council
president
flynn
and
I
and
jamie
were
speaking
regularly
throughout
the
pandemic,
trying
to
find
ways
to
kind
of
keep
folks
working
and
keep
them
optimistic
and
hopeful
that
the
pandemic
would
end,
and
things
would
turn
and
we're
starting
to
see
that
now,
we've
had
a
number
of
bookings
at
the
convention
center.
Our
hotels
are
now
starting
to
come
back
alive.
E
Our
restaurants
are
now
starting
to
come
back
alive
so
and
thanks
to
their
perseverance,
hopefully
they
and
their
fellow
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
union
will
now
get
back
to
work
and
be
doing
what
they
do
best
and
they
put
they're
the
backbone.
Arguably
of
our
city.
We
both
have
having
a
lot
of
successes
here
and
one
of
the
success
stories
that
we
have
is
our
hotel
workers
union
who
do
phenomenal
work
on
behalf
and
they
put
a
shine
on
all
the
visitors
that
come
here.
E
All
the
tourists
that
come
here,
one
of
the
first
impressions
that
they
have
or
the
folks
that
they
meet
are
our
hotel
workers
either
taking
care
of
them
at
a
dining
table
or
assisting
them
coming
and
going
from
a
hotel.
So
thanks
for
the
great
work
that
they
do
and
again
please
add
my
name,
mr
chair.
J
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
in
this
body
have
done
many
times,
many
things
to
protect
the
industry
and
thus,
and
always
the
workers
we,
this
body
came
up
with
one
of
the
most
aggressive
airbnb
legislations,
to
make
sure
that
hotels,
weren't
spread
around
in
our
neighborhoods
and
people
weren't
trying
to
create
an
underground
economy
and
instead
were
having
a
hotel,
vibrant
system
that
was
staying
and
paying
union
wages.
We
did
that
here
we
in
this
body
pass
the
hotel
and
tourism
bid.
J
Thank
you
co-sponsor
councillor
baker
to
make
sure
that
we
were
actually
coming
up
with
a
way
for
the
hotel
industry
to
recover.
They
are
now
collecting
money
actually,
since
october,
since
we
passed
the
bid
we're
the
first
in
the
state
by
the
way
boston
did
that
and
they're
going
to
be
collecting
upwards
of
10
million
dollars
a
year
to
save
their
own
industry
and
by
the
way
that
passed
because
of
the
support
of
these
workers
in
local
26,
who
came
in
support
of
the
bid
and
of
the
hotel
and
tourism
industry.
J
So
here
we
are
now
the
industry
is
coming
back
and
the
hotel
wants
to
convert
itself
into
a
dorm
which
is
institutional
creep
from
another
matter
and
our
higher
education
institutions
that
won't
even
pay
their
pilots,
but
that's
another
conversation,
but
but
on
this
conversation
the
fact
that
they
would
change
the
industry
change
the
rules
after
getting
certain
benefits
after
seeing
so
much
coming
together
for
them
to
come
back
and
bounce
back
literally
just
for
profit,
it
can't
be
for
anything
else
just
for
profit.
This
isn't
to
help
house
students.
J
You
know
they're
going
to
charge
the
market
rate
and
further
in
debt.
Many
of
us
students
who
are
still
paying
back
student
loans.
This
isn't
for
anything
except
to
for
them
to
make
money,
and
we
don't
do
that
here
in
boston,
we're
going
to
fight
that
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
they
maintain
the
good
jobs
that
our
generational
wealth,
that
we
create
a
retirement
system
that
is
necessary
for
our
communities
to
thrive.
These
are
my
neighbors.
J
M
J
More
importantly,
we
have
to
understand
this
is
what
we
do
this.
We
have,
as
a
body
always
stood
up
against
the
br
when,
when
they
want
to
close
down
companies
when
they
want
to
lock
out
workers
when
they
do
that
with
united
steel
councillor
flynn,
we
stand
up
and
a
lot
of
people
ask
ourselves
or
ask
what
is
it
our
business?
This
is
a
private
decision.
This
is
a
private
company
trying
to
do
what
they
want
to
do
not
at
all.
J
K
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
so
much
to
president
flynn
and
to
councillors
legion
and
fernandez
anderson
for
bringing
this
before
us.
Please
add
my
name.
I
think
what
I
really
want
to
say
is
a
follow-up
on
what
counselor
edward
said.
We
know
the
reason
that
we're
here
today
talking
about
this
and
why
workers
are
worried
about
losing
their
jobs.
It's
a
real
estate
play
right.
There's
the
idea
that
oh
we're
going
to
make
more
money
off
of
this
piece
of
real
estate.
G
If
we
go
a
different
direction
with
it-
and
you
know
some
folks
are
going
to
read
in
paper
today
about
the
fact
that
the
state
is
back
talking
about
disposing
of
the
hinds
again,
and
you
know
what
that's
another
real
estate
play,
it's
another
like
hey.
You
know
what
I
think,
there's
a
little
bit
more
money,
a
little
more
delta
profit.
If
we
go
this
route-
and
I
think
it's
so
important
that
this
is
the
chamber
where
we
do
not
look
out
over
the
city
and
see
a
bunch
of
overlapping
real
estate
place.
G
But
I
mean
we
have
great
union
jobs
in
our
hotels
which,
by
the
way,
local
26
and
the
workers
here
fought
like
hell
to
preserve
a
few
years
ago,
and
I
just
feel
like
it's
so
important
for
us
to
say
the
substance
of
the
city
is
these:
is
these
jobs
is
our
communities
and
that
we
are
just
not
going
to
bow
before
a
perspective
on
the
city
that
sees
it
as
a
piggy
bank
for
investors
to
extract
things
from
so?
Please
add
my
name.
K
F
I
thank
you,
council
arroyo
and
thank
you
to
those
sponsors
for
putting
forth
this
resolution.
You
know
I
just
want
to
rise
to
say
I'm
here.
For
this
all
day
every
day
add
my
name,
but
I
also
just
want
to
underscore
the
importance
of
the
difference
a
union
makes
in
terms
of
organizing
and
protecting
its
workers.
F
F
You
unite,
26
did
unsuccessfully
right,
and
so,
when
you
have
protection
and
when
you
have
solidarity,
but
when
you
have
people
in
government
that
are
willing
to
stand
up
and
fight
alongside
you,
that's
when
we're
going
to
send
a
strong
message
that
you
can't
continue
to
do
business
as
usual.
So
I
rise
to
say
I'm
here,
for
you
will
continue
to
be
congratulations
because
we're
claiming
victory
right
and
please
sign
my
name
to
the
resolution.
Thank
you.
K
Seeing
no
one
would
anyone
else
like
to
add
their
name?
Mr
clerk?
Please
add
counselor
baker,
please
add
counselor
braden,
please
add
counselor
edwards,
please
add
counselor
flaherty,
please
add
counselor
lara,
please
add
counselor
mejia,
please
add
counselor
murphy,
please
add
councilworld
and
please
add
the
chair.
Councillor
flynn,
counselor
louis
jen
councillors,
fernandez
anderson,
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
410410,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
all
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
Docket
410
has
been
adopted.
A
G
You
so
much
mr
chair,
I
would
I'd
like
to
move
reconsideration
on
docket
zero,
four,
zero,
six,
zero,
four
zero,
seven
and
zero
four
zero,
eight
to
recommend
that
they
be
shifted
to
the
committee
on
planning,
development
and
transportation.
I
wanna
express
huge
thanks
to
central
staff
who
went
and
dug
up
the
references,
and
we
determined
that
for
many
decades
these
were
not
confirmed
by
council,
but
in
2018
an
amendment
was
passed
that
made
these
subject
to
council
confirmation.
G
So
knowing
that
I
just
it,
the
beacon
architectural
district
is
in
my
district
and
these
confirmations
are
needed
very
urgently.
So
my
next
thing
will
be
to
push
the
chair
to
hold
this
hearing
soon,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
yeah.
It
was
going
to
be
you,
but
but
but
the
but
the
point
is
it
would
be
bad
for
the
commission
if
we
sent
them
through
an
error
without
our
confirmation,
because
then
they
wouldn't
be
legally
valid.
So
it's
just
important
that
we
do
it
this
way.
G
G
And
instead
make
a
motion
to
suspend
and
pass
these
dockets
having
consulted
with
the
chair,
I
think
he's
amenable
to
that
and,
as
was
mentioned
before,
we're
actually
in
a
situation
where
there's
only
one
current
valid
member
on
the
commission
there's
a
few
alternates,
but
it's
creating
a
kind
of
untenable
situation.
So
I
would
love
to
move
for
reconsideration
to
suspend
and
pass
docket
zero.
Four
zero,
six,
zero,
four
zero,
seven
and
zero
four
zero.
Eight,
mr
chair.
A
G
I
just
withdrew
my
initial
motion
and
now
instead,
I'm
moving
suspension
and
passage
of
docket
zero,
four,
zero,
six,
zero,
four
zero,
seven
and
zero
four
zero,
eight
with
the
consent
of
the
chair
of
planning,
development
and
transportation.
The
beacon
hill
architectural
commission
currently
only
has
one
valid
full
member,
and
so
it's
creating
a
real
issue
on
our
side
and
all
three
of
these
people
are
are
well
known.
G
A
C
You
have
the
flow
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
rise
and
in
consultation
with
council,
council
bach
and
I'm
familiar
with
this
situation
here,
I
believe
for
the
for
the
beacon
hill
architectural
commission
to
actually
do
business
with
this
is
this
is
this
is
an
easy
vote
for
me
here,
so
I
have
no
problem
not
having
a
hearing
on
these
ones.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
Mr
president,
thank
you
thank
you,
council
baker.
So,
on
docket,
zero,
four,
zero,
six,
zero,
four:
zero:
seven:
zero:
four
zero.
Eight,
mr
clerk,
are
we
taking
a
we're
gonna,
take
a
vote
on
each
one
separately,
so
we'll
start
with
zero,
four
zero.
Six,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
aye
opposed,
say
no
nate
the
eyes.
Have
it
docket
zero.
Four
zero
six
is
passed,
talk
at
zero,
four
zero;
seven,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay
the
eyes
have
it.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
J
Want
to
thank
you
all.
I
come
with
some
sad
news
today
in
east
boston.
We
lost
a
young
mother,
27
years
old,
leaving
two
young
children
to
the
ongoing
and
increasing
epidemic
that
we've
had
with
the
opioid
crisis,
and
it
was
it
was
it's.
I
think
it's
important
to
remember
that
she
she
was
not
what
she
died
of.
She
was
an
incredible
human
being.
Alicia
was
a
kind-hearted
soul
who
struggled
like
a
lot
of
us,
and
unfortunately,
in
this
moment
god
called
her
home.
Her
mother
mimi
is
incredibly
active.
J
J
J
J
He
had
been
an
incredible
pokey
for
the
north
end
and
he
worked
very
hard
and
he
was
so.
We
brought
him
on
in
the
staff
to
hope
that
he
could
maybe
be
brought
on
to
continue
on
to
work
at
the
city
of
boston
he's
my
first
staffer
that
has
died
and
we
found
out
that
he
died
on
sunday
in
his
sleep,
and
so
I
will
be
talking
with
his
mother,
but
many
of
you
met
him.
J
A
C
Council
redwoods,
sorry
for
your
losses,
and-
and-
and
I
appreciate
you,
you
saying
the
young
woman's
name.
I
had
a
young
niece
that
I
lost
the
same
way
and
left
children.
It
was
difficult,
but
with
that
I
would
be
remissed.
It's
actually
happy
in
my
house
this
week
I
celebrate
three
birthdays,
my
whole.
When
you
talk
family,
you
have
your
family,
your
parents
and
then
your
family.
But
when
you
have
your
own
children,
it's
your
family
and
my
whole
family
celebrates
their
birthdays
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
My
wife.
C
Today
she
celebrates
her
birthday
tomorrow.
Yes,
her
name
is
today
and
we've
been
together,
36
years,
we're
on
our
20th
anniversary
next
month
and
I'll
announce
that
next
month.
I
just
I
need
to
you
know
tell
her
that
I
love
her
and
her
support
for
me
makes
me
the
man
that
I
am
and
also
the
benjamin
maxine.
C
My
twins
turned
16
on
monday
and
they're
totally
awesome
and
great
kids
and
they
really
nice
outside
the
house,
not
so
nice
inside
the
house,
but
nice
outside
the
house
and
and
I'm
I'm
fortunate
to
be
to
have
the
family
that
I
have
and
the
supports
that
I
have
so.
I
have
to
show
that
respect
to
them.
So
thank
you,
mr
president,
for
allowing
me
thank.
M
Announcements
today,
firstly,
many
counselors
say
how
we're
only
as
good
as
our
staff,
which
we
all
know
is
true.
They
work
very
hard
day
in
and
day
out,
supporting
our
offices
and
all
of
our
residents
across
the
city,
but
I
want
to
shout
out
two
of
my
staff
members
today.
First
my
scheduler
ryan
clark
who's
a
family
member
to
baker,
she's
the
one
who
keeps
me
in
line.
She
keeps
me
on
time
and
showing
up
to
all
the
right
places
across
the
city.
M
She
is
quite
arguably
the
most
important
job
in
our
office
and
she
started
working
with
me
here
on
day,
one
when
I
came
in
on
december
1st,
like
many
of
our
staff,
they
have
busy
lives
outside
of
city
hall
and
ryan
has
been
in
school
and
juggling
life.
The
reason
she's
not
at
work
today
is
because
she's
at
her
graduation.
M
So
I
want
to
congratulate
her
for
putting
her
hard
work
in
and
making
that
happen.
I'm
very
proud
of
you
she's
family
to
me,
so
I'm
just
happy
that
so
second
thomas
mannion,
who
is
our
director
of
constituent
services,
who
is
also
a
proud
member
of
the
air
force
national
guard,
has
been
ordered
by
the
secretary
of
the
air
force
to
active
duty.
M
M
Thirdly,
I'm
not
going
to
cry
on
this
one,
but
I
do
want
to
say
and
recognize
michael
larocco
raqqa,
sorry
more
commonly
known
as
known
as
the
14th
counselor
for
marching
with
us
rolling
with
us
on
sunday
and
also
want
to
shout
out
council
of
flaherty,
who
I
know
always
invites
him
to
march
in
the
parade,
and
I
look
forward
to
joining
you
next
year
and
I
did
print
out
that
photo
that
we
took
along
the
parade
route.
So
I
wanted
to
give
that.
M
And
one
last
thing:
it's
quick,
it's
good!
So
I
know
we
talk
a
lot
about
supporting
our
neighborhoods
and
our
restaurants
and
our
small
businesses,
and
so
this
will
most
arguably
be
the
most
delicious
announcement
I've
ever
made
on
the
council
chamber
in
the
floor,
but
I
was
scrolling
through
and
saw
that
our
very
own
mike's
pastry
right
here
on
hanover
street
has
which
is
a
small.
M
M
A
A
I
If
I
can
sit,
I'm
sorry,
I
just
wanted
to
share
my
sentiments
to
my
colleague,
lydia
edwards.
It
takes
an
amazing
strength
to
be
able
to
go
through
what
you
went
through
and
to
go
to
announce
your
announcement
today.
I'm
sure
was
not
easy
and
I
pray
for
your
healing
and
love
and
peace,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that.
