I
would
also
like
to
ask
if
we
could
all
be
respectful
and
do
not
disrupt
the
meeting
while
you
were
here.
If
you
are
disruptive,
you
will
be
asked
to
leave
and
if
you
fail
to
comply,
you
will
be
escorted
out.
Please
also
note
that,

F
The
faneuil
branch
library
is
now
finally
getting
a
much
needed
renovation.
It
has
been
in
the
city's
capital
project
portfolio
for
renovations
since
2006.,
and
we
look
forward
to
reopening
the
library
next
spring.
The
community
process
and
study
finally
started
in
2014
and
the
design
phase
in
2019,
20,
20,
20
and
the
library
has
closed
right.
Now,
it's
closed
for
renovations
and
we
look
forward
again,
as
I
said
to
it
reopening
next
year,
an
integral
part
of
the
campaign
to
see
of
the
library
has
been
maria
rodriguez,
maria
and
the
entire
rodriguez
rao
family.
F
Today,
I
offer
a
resolution
for
the
council
to
vote
in
support
of
formally
naming
the
children's
room
in
the
renovated
faneuil
branch
library
of
the
boston,
public
library,
as
jj's
room
in
memory
of
maria
and
ram's
son
j
ram
miguel
rodriguez,
rao
jram
was
eight
years
old
and
mobilizing
on
the
front
lines.
As
an
activist
during
the
height
of
the
campaign
to
save
our
library
in
oak
square.
In
2010,
his
passion
for
justice
grew
as
he
developed
into
an
environmental
activist.
F
Jay
rams
life
was
tragically
lost
on
july,
2nd
2019
on
a
family
trip
to
brazil,
while
pursuing
his
passion
for
adventure
and
rock
climbing
for
all
in
our
community
who
knew
him.
We
have
been
devastated
and
heartbroken
as
a
member
of
the
youth
on
board
and
the
boston
student
advisory
council's
climate
justice
team.
He
provided
powerful
testimony
at
the
city
council
hearing
on
march
2019
on
the
importance
of
centering
young
people
in
the
climate,
justice
movement
and
taking
bold
policy
actions
just
three
months
before
he
onyx
unexpectedly
passed.
I
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
to
the
city,
councillors
and
organizers
present,
my
name
is
jrom
rau
and
I'm
a
senior
at
the
boston
latin
school.
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
boston
student
advisory
council
and
youth
on
board,
an
organization
composed
of
students
like
myself,
who
care
deeply
about
the
future
of
our
city.
I
I
It
does
around
this
time.
Last
year
I
was
sitting
in
the
front
row
of
my
ap
environmental
science
class.
The
lights
were
off
and
the
title
of
a
phone
burned
bold
against
the
projector
screen
before
the
flood.
I
remember
my
teacher
saying
this
is
the
most
important
thing
I'm
going
to
show
you
all
year.
I
I
believed
him
to
an
extent
I
thought.
Perhaps
we
were
going
to
see
the
key
chart
or
graph
that
would
help
us
ace
the
ap
exam
in
a
few
months,
but
it
ended
up
being
a
lot
more
than
that
images
of
smog,
choked
cities,
coastal
flooding
and
rivers
on
fire
struck
me
in
a
way
that
they
hadn't
before
all
I
could
imagine,
was
smog
so
thick.
I
It
obscured
the
hancock
tower
the
aquarium
knee-deep
in
sea,
water
and
the
charles
river,
so
clogged
with
trash
and
oil
that
it
burns
for
days
that
day,
everything
we
had
studied
in
the
past
seven
months
became
very,
very
real.
In
fact-
and
I
don't
say
this
lightly,
my
life
gained
purpose
that
day,
because
that
was
the
day
I
became
angry.
I
According
to
the
city's
environment
department,
public,
commercial
and
residential
buildings
account
for
70.6
of
citywide
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
The
net
zero
buildings
plan
is
a
real
and
viable
opportunity
to
reduce
the
city's
total
emissions
by
millions
of
metric
tons
per
year,
we'll
be
well
on
track
to
meet
our
missions
goals
for
the
coming
decades.
I
I
Six
days
ago,
hundreds
of
young
people,
nearly
all
of
whom
will
be
voting
in
2020,
demonstrated
outside
the
state
house
for
climate
action.
Our
votes
will
speak
loudly
next
year
and
they
will
tell
you
what
our
future
will
look
like.
This
is
our
chance
to
make
a
significant
step
in
the
right
direction,
because
if
anyone
can
do
it,
a
city
of
scientific
innovators,
engaged
citizens
and
responsive
legislators
like
boston
can.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
you
know
where
you're
headed
what
your
plans.
G
I
think
you
should,
if
did
you
prepare
that,
just
for
here
or
had
you
you
should
just
edit
slightly
some
of
the
submitted
as
an
op-ed
somewhere?
I
think
it's
really
important
for
everyone
to
read
it
and
I'd
love
to
follow
up
to
suggest
maybe
places
that
would
publish
it
immediately,
but
you
should
put
that
in
and
the
only
other
comment
that
I
have
is
don't
forget
that
it's
not
just
about
2020
this
year
matters
a
lot
for
elections
too,
and
that
there
are
now
multiple
open
seats
on
the
council
and
other
places.
G
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
make
a
presentation
to
the
rodriguez
river
family.
F
Today
I
offer
the
resolution
for
the
council
to
vote
in
support
of
naming
the
children's
room
in
the
renovated
faneuil
branch
library
of
the
boston,
public
library,
as
jj's
room
in
memory
of
jram
jram
lived
every
day
as
if
it
was
his
last
fighting
the
urgency
of
climate
change
and
environmental
justice
and
touching
the
lives
of
so
many
naming.
The
children's
room
in
his
honor
is
just
one
way
our
community
will
help
keep
his
spirit
in
our
hearts
and
in
a
public
space
which
will
serve
the
youth
he
so
fiercely
advocated
for.
Thank
you.
F
A
K
I
just
wanted
to
wholeheartedly
endorse
council
braden's,
offering
on
jairum
and
I'm
just
a
brilliant
thinker.
I
looked
him
up
a
rock
climber,
just
a
phenomenal
student
and
wholeheartedly
support
you
too.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
fernandez
anderson,
the
chair
recognizes
council,
illusion
counselor
jean
you
have
the
flaw.
L
I
just
memorizing
to
just
say
I
wholeheartedly
support
this
resolution.
I
know
how
big
both
of
your
hearts
are
and
how
big
your
family
is
and
how
much
of
a
loss.
This
was
not
only
to
you
but
to
the
city
of
boston.
So
I
just
want
to
say
my
heart
is
with
you,
whatever
I
can
do
to
support
the
renaming
voting.
Yes
here
I
do
that
and
I'm
so
glad
that
both
of
you
are
here
today.
So
thank
you,
councillor,
braden,
for
bringing
them
to
the
chambers.
E
E
N
A
A
Okay,
I
apologize
about
that.
I
jumped
jumped
the
gun
we're
now
on
to
the
order
of
business,
which
is

approval
of
the
minutes.
Seeing
and

on
the
matter,
the
chair
moves
to
approve
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting
as
presented

and
council

I

Thank
you.
A
B
M
M
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
council
olada
for
co-sponsoring
this
hearing
order
alongside
our
office
as
well
as
councilor
orwell
for
joining
us.
The
city
of
boston
employs
close
to
20
000
workers,
and
most
of
them
are
required
to
live
in
the
city,
but
as
housing
prices
continue
to
rise,
wages
remain
where
they
have
been
for
decades
and
we
have
to
start
asking
ourselves.
How
is
it
possible
that
our
city
employees
are
able
to
afford
to
live
here
in
our
office?
M
Many
of
our
staff
have
had
to
live
in
subsidized
housing
or
live
with
two
three
and
even
four
roommates
just
to
be
able
to
afford
the
rent
at
the
end
of
the
month.
The
federal
poverty
poverty
level
for
a
family
of
four
in
the
united
states
is
twenty,
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
and
in
boston.
A
seventy
percent
ami,
which
is
the
cap
for
most
affordable
housing
for
a
family
of
four,
is
eighty
four
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
looking
through
boston's
payroll.
M
M
M
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
live
in
the
city
that
you
are
tasked
to
serve,
but
we
clearly
need
to
be
doing
better
to
boost
wages
and
include
and
increase
housing
affordability
for
everyone,
but
especially
those
who
are
legally
required
to
live
here.
This
is
a
housing
issue
and
it's
also
a
workforce
development
issue,
and
it's
also
a
mental
health
issue.
Nobody
should
ever
have
to
make
the
choice
between
food
or
housing
or
heat
or
or
medical
bills
or
housing.
M
We
have
to
do
better.
I
look
forward
to
this
conversation
to
working
alongside
council
lada
on
all
things
housing.
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
just
quickly
also
uplift,
the
fact
that
you
know
we
we
hear
from
a
lot
of
our
city
employees
about
all
of
the
discrepancies
that
exist
here
in
the
city
of
boston,
but
at
some
point
we
have
to
lean
into
it
and
say:
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
it?
And
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
really
have
a
conversation
and
figure
out.
M
What
more
can
we
do
than
just
have
a
hearing
right?
Where
are
the
investments
and
how
we
are
going
to
lean
into
this
conversation
in
a
way
that
is
going
to
uplift,
the
voices
that
we've
been
hearing?
This
was
really
inspired.
M
This
conversation
in
particular,
a
few
years
ago,
I
had
someone
on
my
instagram
live.
Who
was
this?
Who
is
still
a
city
of
boston
employee
and
has
to
work
two
to
two
jobs,
just
to
be
able
to
to
stay
here
and
she
loves
her
job,
and
we
should
not
be
creating
financial
hardships
for
those
who
are
serving
our
community.
We
need
to
really
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
to
addressing
this
issue
in
a
way
that
it's
going
to
invest
in
workforce
development
housing.
So
I
look
forward
to
working
alongside
my
colleagues
to
doing
just
that.
N
N
N
We
have
to
explore
other
solutions
ultimately,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
work
on
this
issue
with
council
of
warwell
and
councillor
mejia,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
follow
the
example
of
other
cities
in
securing
affordable
housing
for
everyone
who
works
for
the
city
of
boston.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
thank
you
to
my
co-sponsors.
As
we
all
know,
housing
is
one
of
the
top
priorities
here
in
boston,
and
we
see
that
reflected
in
our
work
on
the
council
from
ideas
on
increasing
idp
rent
to
own
in
a
homeownership
voucher
program.
P
We
are
working
on
significant
supports
to
increase
affordability
and
access
to
housing
for
our
residents,
but
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
be
intentional
and
equipping
our
residents
with
tools
to
assist
our
friends,
families,
neighbors
and
colleagues
who
are
stuck
in
the
middle,
with
a
lack
of
affordable
options
or
real
pathways
to
home
ownership.
But
who
are
making
too
much
for
housing
assistance
to
attract
and
retain
talent
for
our
economy,
ensure
longtime
residents
do
not
become
displaced.
We
must
act
to
make
home
ownership
a
reality
and
housing
affordable
to
all.
P
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
explore
how
we
can
use
local
option
and
work
with
fair
housing
to
see
how
we
can
create
equity
and
priority
applicants
in
our
housing
process.
I'm
encouraged
by
our
mutual
partnership,
creativity
and
attention
to
housing.
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
all
of
us
on
this
important
matter.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
K
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
mr
president,
thank
you
to
my
colleagues,
council,
mejia
councillor
council
monroe
for
creating
this
dope
ass
idea.
I
will
be
applying
and
this
is
ridiculous.
Second
of
all,
we
need
to
change
those
crazy
chairs.
How
are
your
backs?
Colleagues,
my
people
like
it's
bad
everybody's
back,
hurts
on
those
chairs
and
we
are
just
not
helping
our
employees
and
they're
awesome
and
they're
the
best,
and
I
support
this.
I
had
a
pretty
fancy
speech,
but
you
don't
need
you
don't
need
all
that.
K
A
J
Chair
first
sign
sign
my
name
on
and
thank
the
sponsors
for
for
this
legislation.
This
is
good
legislation,
a
couple
suggestions.
We
need
to
invite
the
unions,
because
I
believe
this
could
be
in
grants
to
the
unions
that
they're
able
to
trickle
down
to
their
to
their
membership
and
also
invite
the
credit
union
in
the
firefighters
credit
union.
I
bought
my
first
house
about
30
years
ago,
1994.,
of
course,
that
was
when
nobody
wanted
to
be
in
boston.
J
I
think
we
had
two
or
three
abandoned
houses
on
my
street
that
I
grew
up
on.
I
bought
an
abandoned
house
with
money
from
the
credit
union
rehabbed
it
myself
and
lived
in
there
for
a
while
with
roommates,
but
that
was
that
was
what
basically
allowed
me
to
subsequently.
J
J
I
don't
know
if
it's
a,
I
don't
want
to
speak
about
it
too
much,
but
it
may
be
a
40-year
40-year
term,
but
basically,
what
I
found
the
most
difficult
thing
in
home
ownership
is
that
initial
that
initial
down
payment,
you
really
want
to
get
10
20
to
avoid
ami,
which
is
which
is
insurance,
which
adds
to
your
to
your
monthly
payment.
J
We
have
to
be
able
to
get
people
to
a
point
where
they
can
get
that
initial
payment
and
then
realize
that,
even
though
the
house
may
cost
550
650
whatever
it
is,
the
monthly
payment
might
only
be
twenty
five
hundred
bucks
or
something
like
that
when
we
have
to
educate,
educate
people
on
that,
but
I
think
again
not
to
keep
hammering
opera
opera.
Some
of
this
housing
money
should
go
towards
the
unions,
where
we
demand
the
people
that
are
making
30
grand
stay
in
the
city.
How
do
they
do
it?
J
J
I've
gone
on
long
enough,
but
this
is
this
is
good
legislation,
but
I
think
it
has
to
happen
with
real
money
that
goes
for
the
unions
to
be
able
to
give
to
their
to
give
to
their
membership
here
his
twenty
five
thousand
for
a
down
payment,
fifty
thousand
for
down
payment.
Those
are
the
time,
that's
the
type
of
money
that
we're
going
to
need
to
give
to
down
payments,
and
that's
not
even
talking
about
the
supply.
A
E
You
so
much
mr
chair,
and
thanks
again
to
the
sponsors.
I
think
this
is
great
legislation,
and
I
would
I
to
me
it
feels
like,
as
councillor
baker
saying
something
that
actually
links
housing
benefit
to
city
of
boston,
employment
and
also,
I
think,
looks
for
ways
to
leverage
our
public
lands
better.
I
know
that
the
administration's
doing
a
survey
of
sort
of
all
the
land
we
hold,
but
I
know
something
that's
come
up.
E
A
few
times
is,
you
know:
are
there
opportunities
with
some
of
the
excess
spaces
like
land
and
parking
lots
that
bps
owns
to
maybe
put
housing
for
teachers
on
site,
like,
I
think
thinking
creatively
about
places
where
we
could
actually
not
only
provide
cash
benefits
but
also
actually
like
create
workforce
housing
for
our
city
workforce
is
a
direction.
I
hope
this
will
go.
So
please
sign
my
name
and
thank
you
again
to
the
sponsors.
L
Mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
the
makers
for
this
legislation,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea:
workforce
development.
I
also
think
that
we
also
just
need
to
be
paying
our
employees
a
lot
more
money
I
have
been.
You
know
have
so
many
conversations
with
folks
offering
them
positions
that
I
know
them
like
they.
I
know
they
want
to
move
to
boston,
and
I
tell
them
what
the
potential
salary
is
and
they're
like.
Do
you
think
I
can
make
it?
L
I
was
like
honestly
no-
and
I
don't-
and
I
can't
in
good
conscience,
tell
you
to
come
work
in
my
office
right.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
are.
We
are
respecting
the
incredible
work
that
my
staff
does,
that
I
know
everyone
else's
staff
does
by
making
sure
that
they
can
find
housing
in
this
very
ridiculously
expensive
city.
So
add
my
name
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
this
legislation.
A
O
You,
mr
president,
please
add
my
name
into
the
makers.
Just
we
had
a
hearing
on
residency.
This
is
several
years
ago
and
the
law
department
came
down
saying
that
we
couldn't
do
it,
but
they
didn't
have
any
case
law
to
support
it
so
through
the
chain
of
the
makers,
if
they
could,
during
the
courses
hearing
bring
the
law
department
down,
so
they
can't
give
us
the
swerve
and
it's
a
great
idea.
Long
overdue.
We've
got
city
employees
that
are
the
unsung
heroes
of
our
city,
scratching
and
claring.
O
In
some
instances,
working
two
three
jobs
just
to
be
able
to
stay
in
the
city.
We
know
a
lot
of
those
folks,
our
constituents,
our
neighbors,
our
friends,
some
of
our
staff
members
and
so
long
overdue,
but
we
obviously
to
get
clarity,
because
we
raised
this
very
issue
during
the
residency
hearing
a
few
years
ago
and
kind
of
got
a
little
stiff
on
from
the
law
department.
So
I
would
ask
that
the
law
department
be
required
to
attend
that
hearing.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Thank.
A
You,
council
flaherty,
and
I
will
speak
on
this
as
well.
I
also
think
it's
a
great
proposal
just
want
to
echo
what
council,
flaherty
and
councillor
baker
mentioned,
just
just
a
side
story.
I
was
visiting
a
friend
up
at
the
gavin
house.
A
Yesterday,
it's
a
it's
a
residential
program
for
for
for
people
sub
with
substance,
use
challenges
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
men
that
was
living
there
said
to
me
councillor
flynn,
you
you
proposed
that
office
of
returning
citizens
should
be
able
to
get
a
fair
shot
at
working
in
the
city
at
public
works.
The
city
should
be
more
corey
friendly,
and
I
said
yes,
I
I
did
say
that
I
think
would
be
a
great
idea.
A
So
you
know
we
can
say
that
we
want
to
help
returning
citizens.
We
can
help
them
with
query
reform,
but
then
we're
going
to
make
them
live
in
boston,
on
a
salary
of
30
40
000
a
year.
It
just
the
math
just
doesn't
add
up
so
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
maybe
that's
an
issue
we
can
also
focus
on.
But
again
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues,
the
makers
for
their
their
important
work
on
this.
This
is
this
will
be
a
great
hearing.
A
A
M
Yeah
thank
you
and
before
I
dive
into
my
my
speech,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
for
your
enthusiasm
and
your
support
and
really
do
look
forward
to
bringing
all
of
your
voices
and
all
of
the
feedback.
I
took
notes
in
regards
to
the
previous
hearing
order
and
I'm
really
grateful
for
it,
and
I
also
wanted
to
just
quickly
acknowledge
that
you
know
in
this
chamber.
M
I've
learned
a
lot,
and
one
thing
that
I
have
learned
more
recently
is
really
this
need
for
transparency,
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I
always
admire
and
appreciate
from
counselor
baker
is
his
ability
to
really
hold
the
city
accountable
and
and
to
demand
transparency,
and
I
think
that's
a
lesson
that
we
can
all
learn
here
as
we
continue
to
navigate.
So
in
the
spirit
of
accountability
and
transparency.
M
I
think
that
we
all
need
to
do
a
better
job
at
at
making
sure
that
we're
holding
ourselves
to
that
standard,
and
so
the
committee
that
we
created
for
this
term
was
designed
to
do
just.
That
is
to
really
look
at
the
services,
the
accessibility
of
some
of
our
resources,
how
people
navigate
city
services,
accountability?
Are
we
holding
ourselves
accountable
to
the
promises
that
we've
made?
What
is
the
transparency
around
the
dollars
that
we're
spending
here
in
the
city?
M
And
I
think
that
the
committee
that
we've
created
we
hope
to
be
able
to
put
it
to
good
use
around
some
of
the
issues
that
we
are
all
have
been
here.
Fighting
on,
and
one
in
particular
for
me
is
around
the
issues
around
ells,
which
is
which
are
english
language
learners.
I
myself
am
an
english
language
learner.
M
M
A
december
report
and
2021
reported
report
submitted
to
the
department
of
justice
from
boston
public
schools
found
that
more
than
11
000
english
language
learners
in
boston,
public
schools,
30
percent
are
not
receiving
enough
of
the
right
instruction
with
a
certified
teacher,
surrounded
by
the
right
group
of
students
and
in
boston.
There
are
roughly
4
000
english
learners
with
disabilities,
who
have
who
often
have
to
choose
between
receiving
support
for
their
disability
or
their
language
needs.
M
A
C
You,
president
flynn,
thank
you
councillor,
mejia
for
your
years
of
work
for
english
language,
learners
and
continuing
that
work
here
on
the
council,
I
myself
began
my
political
activism
around
english
language
learning.
My
mother
was
an
english
language.
C
Teacher,
english
language
learning
teacher
in
bps,
and
the
uns
initiative
came
to
town
when
I
was
a
child,
but
it's
a
truth
that
we
weren't
doing
right
by
english
language
learners,
even
before
uns
uns
just
devastated
the
way
in
which
we
continue
to
do
that
work
now,
since
2017,
since
the
look
act
has
passed,
it's
really
important
that
we
make
up
ground.
C
It's
also
traditionally,
though,
covet
has
impacted
this
traditionally,
english
language
learners
had
been
the
largest
growth
part
of
bps
in
terms
of
new
enrollment
and
so
making
sure
that
we
do
right
by
english
language
learners,
making
sure
that
we're
on
top
of
it,
we've
seen
the
instability
at
the
office
of
english
language
learners
at
dps,
we've
sort
of
seen
how,
in
the
budget,
it's
been
difficult
for
them
to
pin
down
exactly
where
and
how
this
money
specifically
impacts
that
30
percent,
and
so
this
kind
of
a
hearing,
I
think,
is
appropriate.
C
Considering
the
urgency
of
the
issue,
the
size
of
the
population
for
our
schools
and
the
fact
that
we
really
do
need
to
do
a
lot
of
work
to
get
this
right
and
to
do
right
by
our
kids
in
boston,
public
schools,
who
are
learning
a
second
language
that
second
language
being
english
and
getting
getting
through
our
testing
and
the
things
that
we
have.
C
We
know
that
there's
conversations
about
increasing
the
the
the
passing
rate
or
the
rather
the
score
required
to
pass
for
mcas,
and
we
know
that
that
would
have
devastating
results
on
a
lot
of
our
english
language
learners
already,
and
so
these
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
have
to
make
sure
we're
preparing
children
today
to
be
able
to
perform
the
way
we
would
like
them
to
perform
in
our
schools
with
the
supports
and
stabilizations
they
need,
while
also
making
sure
we
advocate
to
protect
them
in
other
ways
in
which
our
systems
are
are
dealing
with
them.
C
A
K
You,
mr
president,
unlike
my
council
colleague,
I
came
when
I
was
10,
so
I
did
not
learn
english
through
sesame
street.
It
was
the
honeymooners
and
three's
company
that
taught
me
english.
But
for
me,
english
is
my
fourth
language,
and
I
don't
know
that
people
know
that.
So
it's
I
mean
I
was
just
talking
to
my
colleague
yesterday
about
the
difficulty
of
students
and
just
the
spirit
of
representing
all
the
cv.
I
am
kate
verdian
and
my
my
first
language
is
cape
verde
and
creole,
and
understanding
that
I
had
to
learn
portuguese.
K
You
know
as
a
second
language
and
then
coming
to
america
and
adapting
and
not
going
to
school
for
an
entire
year.
I
had
to
learn
spanish,
to
make
friends
and
then
eventually
learn
english
in
school
and
then
took
french
in
school
and
then
became
muslim
and
learned
arabic.
So
all
of
this
you
know
transitional
stuff,
really
does
not
interpret
the
nuances
and
the
feeling
of
one's
emotions
or
cultural
context
when
you're
speaking
a
different
language.
K
So
I
was
telling
I
was
complimenting
council
mejia
yesterday
and
saying
you
are
you're
doing
math
right,
so
you
are
calculating
and
multiplying
and
dividing
and
subtracting
when
you're
speaking-
and
I
really
appreciate
you
that
you
stand
here
and
you
are
really
being
wholeheartedly
yourself
and
being
a
true
self,
and
always
you
know,
even
when
you
explain,
let
me
say
it
this
way
or
my
english,
this
or
my
english,
that
I
actually
connect
with
you
on
the
same
wave,
because
I
feel
your
heart
and
I'm
also
doing
a
lot
of
math
and
interpreting
things
in
multiple
languages
before
I
can
actually
get
it
out.
K
A
L
You
I
just
rise
in
support.
You
know
it's
really
important
for
us
to
really
understand
what
our
english
language
learners
bring
to
the
table
and
that
what
they
bring
is
is
a
really
big
asset
right,
we're
talking
about
folks
who
can
speak
another
language,
you
know
that's
bringing
diversity
to
a
classroom
into
a
different
setting.
When
we
look
at
our
schools
that
have
dual
immersion
programs,
they
are
very
long
wait
lists
because
parents
recognize
that
as
an
asset.
L
L
We
realize
why
we
need
to
support
our
students
with
interrupted
learning
and
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
access
resources
and
that
we
need
to
put
our
money
into
the
programs
for
our
most
vulnerable
students,
whether
it's
in
language
classes
or
in
the
facilities
that
they
have.
It
is
when
we're
just
not
doing
enough
and
so
support
this
hearing
order
just
that
we
can
get
better
numbers
on
what
we
are
and
aren't
doing.
So.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
lujan.
Anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
or
add
their
name.
Please
raise
your
hand,
mr
clark,
please
add
counselor
baker,
council
book,
council,
braden,
council,
flaherty,
council,
lara
council
of
jean
council,
rel
council
murphy-
please
add
the
chair
as
well.
Dr0617
will
be
assigned
to
the
committee.
A
Well,
let
me
let
me
step
back.
Originally
I
was
going
to
assign
it
to
the
committee
on
education
since
the
hearing
discussed
bps
and
english
language
learners.
But
after
listening
to
council
mejia,
I
changed
my
mind
and
I'm
putting
it
in
the
committee
on
government,
accountability,
transparency
and
accessibility.
B
N
Thank
you,
president
flynn.
I'm
excited
to
present
this
resolution
here
today.
I'm
gonna
give
a
little
background
on
february
3rd
and
I'm
sure
that
most
people
know
this.
On
february
3rd
in
1962,
president
john
f
kennedy
imposed
the
u.s
embargo
on
cuba.
The
60th
anniversary
of
the
embargo
is
a
stark
reminder
of
the
united
states
policy
failures
and
one
of
the
longest
lasting
series
of
sanctions
in
its
foreign
policy
history.
N
Today,
more
than
half
a
century
since
the
embargo
was
put
in
place,
the
biden
administration
continues
to
uphold
what
is
ultimately
a
symbol
of
hostility
between
the
u.s
and
cuba
amid
the
most
challenging
humanitarian
crisis
on
the
island.
Since
the
1990s
in
2009,
the
u.s
chamber
of
commerce
estimated
that
the
embargo
cost
the
united
states
economy
1.2
billion
per
year
in
lost
sales
and
exports,
the
cuban
government
estimates
that
the
embargo
has
cost
the
island
144
billion.
As
of
2021.
N
in
2014,
the
obama
administration
lifted
restrictions
for
cuban
americans
to
travel
and
send
family
donut
donate
remittances.
Excuse
me,
english
is
not
my
first
language,
so
sometimes
I
put
the
wrong
and
fastest
on
the
wrong
syllabus
reestablished
the
u.s
emphasis
in
havana
removed
cuba
from
the
state
sponsors
of
terrorism
list.
It
also
expanded
access
to
the
internet.
It
licensed
a
range
of
trade
opportunities
for
u.s
companies
and
beyond
these
specific
policies.
N
The
shift
in
discourse
by
u.s
presidential
by
u.s
president
excuse
me
really
signaled
what
we
consider
to
be
the
most
significant
change
in
u.s
cuba
policy
in
60
years.
It
also
led
to
23
bilateral
accords
on
issues
that
the
united
states
and
the
government
of
cuba
consider
a
mutual
interest,
of
course,
the
trump
administration,
with
a
like,
with
a
lot
of
other
things,
undid
all
of
that
progress
and
imposed
new
restrictions.
N
I
am
filing
this
resolution
today
because
this
embargo
particularly
complicates
humanitarian
assistance
to
cuba.
The
complex
licensing
requirements
effectively
prevent
food,
medicine
and
medical
equipment
from
reaching
cubans,
and
it
discourages
medical
equipment
sales
to
the
islands.
One
particularly
egregious
example
of
this
is
that
cuba
had
a
cancellation
of
ventilator
sales
by
a
swiss
company
during
the
pandemic.
N
These
restrictive
policies
make
it
extremely
difficult
to
send
aid
to
cuba
and
it
has
damaged
the
cuban
healthcare
system's
ability
to
respond
effectively
to
the
kobet
19
pandemic
and
ultimately
has
had
a
toll
on
human
lives.
Although
their
development,
including
the
research
production
and
rollout,
was
delayed
because
purchases
of
necessary
supplies,
shipping
were
complicated
by
the
embargo,
cuba
managed
to
develop
its
own
covet,
19
vaccines.
N
The
biden
administration's
show
of
empathy
with
other
countries
during
the
pandemic
led
them
to
issue
exemptions
to
certain
sanctions
that
were
already
interfering
with
public
health
responses
in
iran,
syria
and
venezuela,
but
the
same
efforts
were
notably
absent
with
cuba.
Despite
all
of
these
obstacles,
scuba
has
achieved
a
90
vaccination
rate
with
the
vaccines
that
it
developed.
N
I
think
this
is
an
incredible
learning
opportunity
for
the
city,
council
and
our
constituents.
I
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
here
to
work
towards
dispelling
myths,
about
cuba,
about
the
embargo
about
socialism,
and
which
is
why
I'm
not
requesting
a
suspension
of
the
rules
today
for
this
resolution,
and
I
would
like
to
hold
a
hearing.
Instead,
I
look
forward
to
ongoing
collaboration
with
my
colleagues
on
this
matter
and
to
further
building
solidarity
with
the
cuban
people.
Thank
you,
president.
K
Alex
I'm
so
happy
that
you
sit
right
across
me,
mr
clerk,
because
I
enjoy
you
too
so
counselor
you
know
lara
is
offering
this
resolution
and
at
the
risk
of
sounding
ridiculous,
let
me
say
that
the
true
city
councilor
is
guided
by
great
feelings
of
love
for
this
offer
to
put
forward
by
council
laura.
I
know
those
who
have
visited
my
office
understand
what
I'm
saying
it
is
past
time
that
we
end
the
embargo
on
cuba.
The
embargo
does
no
good
while
causing
great
harm
to
the
people
of
cuba.
K
The
idea
that
the
embargo
is
maintained
to
support
human
rights
is
preposterous,
as
the
federal
government
has
supported
far
more
brutal
regimes
over
the
years,
including
suharto
in
indonesia,
pinochet
in
chile,
mobuto
in
zaire,
congo
and
many
others.
Additionally,
cuba
has
world-class
health
education,
sports
tourism
that
could
mutually
benefit
to
both
of
our
countries.
K
Additionally,
I
just
want
to
say
cuba
actually
offers
way
more
supports
to
tiny
little
archipelago
archipelago
of
ten
islands
in
cape
verde
in
west
coast
of
africa
than
any
other
country
in
the
world,
and
it
is
the
reason
why
cape
verde
actually
has
doctors
and
teachers
and
professors
and
lawyers
so
out
of
all
the
countries.
Cuba,
tiny
little
cuba
is
the
reason
why
cape
bird
actually
has
doctors
and
hospitals.
So
again,
I
support
this
100.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
fernandez
anderson.
Anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
the
matter
or
sign
on
to
the
matter.
If
you
raise
your
hand,
please
mr
clerk,
please
please
add:
council
of
royal
councillor
baker,
council
of
councillor
braden
council
of
flaherty,
councillor
zhang
councilman,
here,
council,
murphy,
council
overall,
please
add
the
chair.
C
F
I
moved
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
to
add
councillor
flynn
as
a
an
original
co-sponsor.
Please.
F
F
I
also
want
to
recognize
and
appreciate
counselor
murphy's
leadership
and
bringing
us
to
recognize
emergency
medical
services
week,
which
is
coming
up.
Nurses
are
public
health
heroes
working
to
make
our
communities
safer
and
healthier
day
in
and
day
out,
but
certainly
they
are
on
the
front
lines
of
the
pandemic
as
well.
F
They
they
have
been
in
the
trenches
for
the
last
two
years,
working
and
dealing
with
incredible
stress
and
delivering
care
to
those
most
in
need.
During
our
pandemic,
over
10
000
nurses
provide
compassionate
care
and
healing
in
hospitals
and
nurse
medical
centers
located
in
the
city
of
boston,
many
of
which
are
charitable
and
non-profit
hospitals
making
contributions
to
our
country
communities,
while
others
have
made
con
being
converted
to
from
non-profit
status
into
non-profit
entities
for-profit
entities.
F
F
H
Thank
you,
so
I
am
honored
to
call
many
nurses,
family
and
friends,
nurses
and,
as
a
boston,
public
school
kindergarten
teacher.
H
You
can
just
imagine
that
we
spent
many
times
in
the
nurse's
office
and
it
was
often
times
for
a
band-aid,
but
also
a
hug
and
a
kiss,
and
they
offer
so
much
more
than
just
the
medical
support
they
give
so
definitely
want
to
shout
out
to
all
the
school
nurses
and
the
nurses
around
the
city
around
the
world.
So
this
year's
theme
is
nurses,
make
a
difference
to
honor
the
varying
roles
our
nurses
play
in
the
healthcare
fields
and
the
positive
impact
nurses
have
in
our
lives.
H
I
think
we
would
all
agree
that
we
should
celebrate
our
nurses
every
day
and
recognize
the
sacrifices
they
make.
We
know
that
they
showed
up
on
the
front
line
throughout
the
global
pandemic,
risked
their
own
lives
to
keep
us
alive
and
they
continue
to
show
up.
So
I
hope
you
all
support
this
resolution
recognizing
may
6-12
as
national
nurses
week
because
they
deserve
it.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
A
Council
arroyo
and
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
thank
you
to
council,
braden
and
council
murphy
for
including
me.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
both
of
my
colleagues
mentioned.
The
incredible
role
nurses
play
in
our
city
and
our
society
and
our
country,
especially
during
this
pandemic,
they've,
been
on
the
front
lines
of
the
health
care
and
providing
exceptional
support
to
so
many
people
in
need.
All
of
my
colleagues
here
in
this
body
have
been
strong
supporters
of
helping
nurses
across
our
city.
A
Most
recently,
I
was
with
counselor
lujan
at
the
tufts
medical
center,
where
they,
where
they're
closing,
believe
this
believe
this
or
not
they're
closing
the
pediatric
hospital
at
tufts
medical
centers.
It's
it's
moving
from
tufts
over
to
children
children's,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
huge
loss
of
jobs
for
our
nurses,
but
the
nurses,
mass
nurses
association
play
a
critical
role
in
making
sure
that
nurses
are
treated
with
respect
that
they
have
safe
working
conditions.
It's
a
tough
job
and
they
do
a
tremendous
job
at
it.
A
C
You
councillor
flynn,
would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter.
K
I'm
on
fire
today
for
every
battle.
You
need
diplomats
and
warriors,
and
in
my
humble
opinion
I
think
teachers
are
the
diplomats.
The
guardian
angels
of
this
world
and
nurses
are
certainly
the
warriors
and
shout
out
to
jennifer
carvalho,
my
auntie
and
my
uncle.
All
the
nurses
in
my
family
came
in
all
of
them
today,
but
shout
out
to
all
the
nurses
in
my
family
and
you
guys
are
lifesavers.
K
I
personally
have
worked
with
nurses
overnight
in
the
hospital
setting
and
they
are
they're
like
robots
they're
like
not
even
human.
They
just
save
lives,
they
keep
their
heads
down,
they
work
hard,
their
sleep
deprived.
They
just
do
it
humbly
without
complaining
and
just
keep
going,
and
I
thank
you
for
all
of
your
hard
work
and
saving
lives
and
keeping
our
city
safe.
I
strongly
support
this
resolution
and
thank
you
so
much
to
councillor
murphy,
council
flynn
and
council
braden
for
filing
this.
C
Thank
you,

C
H
Thank
you
and
president
I'd
like
to
suspend
the
rules
and
add
counselor
braden.
If
I
could
please.
H
Thank
you,
so
the
boston
municipal
emergency
medical
services
is
one
of
three
public
safety
agencies
who
respond
to
9-1-1
calls
in
the
city
of
boston.
Their
department
cares
for
patients
with
clinical
proficiency,
professionalism
and
compassion
and
is
a
recognized
leader
in
ems
and
the
largest
municipal
ems
in
new
england.
H
Members
of
the
boston
ems
were
on
the
front
line
during
the
kovit
19
pandemic
and
answered
the
call
for
over
126
000
clinical
incidences
in
160
hundred
and
seventy
seven
total
bls
and
als
responses
and
made
seventy
nine
thousand
two
hundred
and
ten
transports.
In
2021
alone.
They
serve
residents
across
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
and
always
show
up
professionally
when
needed.
This
year's
national
ems
theme.
This
week's
theme,
is
rising
to
the
challenge
something
members
of
the
boston
ems
have
exemplified,
I
think
always,
but
especially
during
the
covet
19
pandemic.
H
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
councillor,
murphy
for
adding
me
to
this
resolution.
I
stand
to
recognize
the
incredible
work
of
boston
ems
the
day
in
and
day
out,
all
ours
24
7.
They
deliver
essential
services
to
our
neighbors
and
our
communities
across
the
city.
The
ems.
F
You
know-
we've
been
through
this
incredible
once
in
a
hundred
years
pandemic
and
the
ems
personnel
of
boston
have
been
at
the
front
line,
delivering
professional
care
in
a
timely
and
efficient
way
and
basically
presenting
as
a
bulwark
against
the
against
the
incredible
impacts
that
this
pandemic
has
had
on
our
community.
So
I
am
very
proud
to
join
you
today,
councillor
murphy,
in
recognizing
the
incredible
work
that
our
ems
professionals
do
every
day.
I
also
write
as
I'm
standing
in
my
comments
earlier.
A
N
Thank
you,
president
flynn.
I
just
wanted
to
rise,
one
to
ask
to
add
my
name.
I'm
really
excited
that
councillor.
Murphy
and
councilor
braden
have
put
this
resolution
forth.
As
a
lot
of
you
know,
a
lot
of
my
previous
work
was
at
the
boston,
public
health
commission
and
a
part
of
the
department
that
I
worked
in.
Our
job
was
to
educate
all
1100
employees
at
bphc
on
racial
justice
and
health
equity
values
and
how
that
would
translate
into
their
work
and
that
included
the
city
of
boston's
emts.
N
They
were
an
incredible
group
of
committed,
curious
and
just
dedicated
individuals
that,
like
has
already
been
mentioned,
work
24
7
to
make
sure
that
the
people
of
our
city
are
taken
care
of.
I
also
wanted
to
stand
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
andrew
brown,
who
was
one
of
our
campaign.
Federals
excuse
me
our
campaign
fellows.
N
He
is
also
an
emt,
an
incredible
abolitionist
and
did
a
lot
of
our
public
safety
research
for
our
campaign.
So
I
wanted
to
shout
him
out
because
doing
his
work
as
an
emt.
He
still
found
time
to
work
on
our
campaign
and
do
an
incredible
amount
of
research,
so
I
would
like
to
sign
my
name
on
vote
in
support
of
this
resolution
and
show
my
gratitude
to
andrew
and
all
of
the
emts
in
the
city.
Thank
you.

Thank
you,
mr
president.
This
is
a
a
simple
request
and
it's
about
transparency
and
we
had
talked
about
residency
earlier.
These
are
the
highest
pay,
I'm
looking
more
for
the
highest
paid
people
that
are
coming
into
the
city
who
we
were
going.
We
are
going
to
be
dealing
with
directly
who
we
are
going
to
need
to
work
policy
discussions
with
or
or
a
whole
number
of
tasks
that
come
across
our
desk
and
also
this
is
about.
J
We
had
talked
earlier
about
the
lower
the
the
lower
rung
of
the
of
our
workforce
has
to
live
here.
The
same
is
said
about
the
the
the
higher
rung
of
our
workforce,
I'd
like
to
know
who
they
are
where
they
are
because
residency
is
important
to
me.
I
think
it
was
put
in
place
years
ago
years
ago,
because
we're
just
draining
people
in-
and
you
know
I
just
think
if
people
are
going
to
be
earning
their
money
here.
I
think
you
have
more
skin
in
the
game.
J
A
J
Simple
there,
mr
president,
you're
just
looking
to
see
who
we're
going
to
be
dealing
with
on
on
the
higher
level
and
where
they
live.
I
believe
they
should
be
living
in
the
city.
Thank
you.
A
A
K
Oh,
I
was
just
going
to
ask
you
to
off
to
include
a
friendly
friendly
amendment
of
including
demographics
and
their
pay,
so
that
we
can,
in
in
the
interest
of.
J
A
We're
going
to
recognize
I'm
going
to
recognize
council
baker
and
we're
going
to
move

reconsideration.

yeah

this
time
I'm
going
to
recognize
council
baker,
