A
B
Let
me
let
me
just
start
by
thanking
telling
you
the
real
director
of
the
Office
of
women's
advancement,
who's
done
an
amazing
job
here
in
the
City
of
Austin.
Working
on
a
whole
host
of
issues
in
today's
topic.
Obviously,
is
probably
the
most
important,
but
I
want
to
thank
time
in
my
team
for
the
great
work
that
she
does.
Thank
You
Tanya
I.
B
Want
to
thank
that
the
members
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
for
all
the
great
work
that
you've
done
and
now
doing
here,
you're
amazing
this
table
in
the
middle
I
think
that
Donna
must
begin
and
some
other
folks,
so
I
just
wanted
a
couple
nationwide,
crosswalk
DiStefano
yeah,
where
to
be
by
what
they're
doing
some
incredible
work.
Thank
you.
B
Want
to
thank
Circe
Thompkins
is
yesterday
for
his
incredible
work
and
re-entry
and
what
we're
doing
with
our
prison
system
here
in
Boston
and
Suffolk
County.
So,
while
the
visitor
is
visiting
from
the
United,
States
and
all
over
the
world,
thank
you
for
coming
here.
There's
so
many
of
you
South
South
America.
We
have
Sweden,
you
have
Germany
shouldn't,
stop
their
friends
and
I
know
we
have
other
countries
I
apologize
if
I
don't
mention
you,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
today,
judge
coffees
with
us
today.
B
Before
anything,
highly
excited,
I
have
to
speak,
you're
funny,
I
fight.
If
you
don't
do
the
speech,
I
know
it's
lunchtime
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
staying
here
and
I'm
going
to
talk
briefly
to
go
back
to
work.
The
work,
that's
important,
the.
What
are
you
doing
here
today?
I
want
to
give
a
couple
more
shadows.
One
is
to
a
person
who
I
used
to
what
he
still
do.
A
watch
on
the
big
screen,
but
I
was
at
the
Aspen
ideas
festival
and
there
was
different
conferences
and
I
was
watching.
B
B
Just
came
back
from
that
way.
I
was
in
LA
for
a
three-day
fun
for
the
city
to
see
and
as
a
good
Bostonian,
we
obviously
a
very
competitive.
So
every
time
they
talked
about,
they
did
something
I
said:
well,
we
do
better
and
I
was
listening
and
I
real.
You
know
on
the
different
issues
that
were
fighting,
whether
it's
that
way
of
Austin
or
wherever
it
is
in
America.
B
It's
about
leadership
and
the
leadership,
not
necessarily
in
the
mayor's
office
leadership
in
the
cities
and
what
I
thought
was
incredible
about
LA
was
that
the
network
of
nonprofits
and
the
support
that
they're
doing
in
different
areas
of
the
city
of
La
to
fight
combat,
so
many
different
things,
and
it
is
about
that.
But
it's
also
about
elected
leadership.
It's
about
making
sure
that
you're
missing
your
town
managers
and
your
city
councilors,
and
your
legislators
step
up
to
the
plate
and
do
what's
right
and
I,
don't
think
in
some
cases
we
need
to.
B
We
need
to
pass
that
message
around
the
country,
because,
when
I
go
to
a
conference
like
this
in
Boston
or
somewhere
else,
it's
inevitable
somebody'll
come
up
to
me
and
somebody
come
up
to
me
today,
and
so
you
have
to
try
to
out
there
because
I'm
is
not
as
vested
so
it's
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
that
what
we're
doing
is
working
from
from
the
from
the
ground
to
the
truant
from
the
talk
to
the
ground.
There's
no
leader
in
this
we're
all
in
this
together.
The
issue
is
big.
B
The
issue
is
important
issues
for
us
to
continue
to
fight
forward.
Your
call,
most
of
you
are
all
in
this
room
today,
and
certainly
our
goal
in
the
administration
is
to
end
exploitation
and
help
survivors
heal.
There
is
people
in
this
room
that
have
done
this
work
long
before
I
was
in
there,
maybe
even
long
before.
I
was
a
state
representative.
You've
been
doing
this
work
for
a
long
time.
B
This
has
been
a
major
focus
of
what
we're
doing
in
the
administration
in
working
with
our
network
partners
in
the
last
five
years,
since
we
won't
cease.
Boston
we've
made
some
important
strides,
some
big
strides.
We
recognize
that
this
is
an
issue
of
gender
equity.
The
vast
majority
of
people
who
are
exploited
are
women
and
girls
and
they're
often
forced
into
this
work
and
identifying
and
understanding
that
others
I'm
just
identifying
that
understanding
that
is
so
important.
At
the
same
time,
buyers
make
the
choice
to
support
an
industry,
that's
damaging
people
in
entire
communities.
B
We
need
to
stay
focused
our
enforcement
efforts
on
buyers.
We
need
to
need
to
ramp
up
support
and
protection
for
our
survivors.
That
is
the
key
to
what
a
lot
of
us
are
doing.
We
created
a
coalition
with
law
enforcement,
nonprofits
faith
leaders,
employers
and,
more
importantly,
survivors.
We
help
training
with
community
partners
and
training
with
elected
officials
that
will
listen
in,
come
and
learn
about
what
we're
talking
about.
We
held
that
hackathon
to
disrupt
online
trafficking.
We
work
with
our
attorney
general's
office
Marwan.
B
He
leaves
office
to
get
business
to
adopt
a
zero
tolerance
policy
in
the
workplaces.
We
see
the
chef's
special
shouts
that
tomorrow,
healing
who's
done.
Some
amazing
work
here
in
the
United
States,
but
being
in
the
way
here
in
Massachusetts,
with
those
strongest
supports
for
survivors
who
need
an
exit
strategy.
Now,
one
thanks
Jerry
for
that.
B
We're
making
sure
that
women
and
young
women
and
all
women
feel
safe
about
asking
for
help,
we're
making
sure
that,
as
we
do
our
training
and
our
Police
Department
liesl
home
Saturday,
when
she
was
the
superintendent
there
and
now
superintendent
Connor
is
going
to
continue
that
to
understand
to
explain
to
our
officers
to
train
them.
I
want
to
thank
the
Boston
Police
Department
for
the
incredible
work
they
do
on
building
trust.
Now
our
job
is
to
make
sure
that
all
twenty-one
twenty-two
hundred
officers
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
Women
being
trafficked
and
not
criminals,
women
who
are
being
trafficked
and
not
criminals,
they're
victims
and
it's
important
for
us
to
continue
to
work
and
to
continue
to
get
the
next
job.
We
can't
normalize
that
you
can't
kill
about
that.
We
need
to
continue
to
work
collectively
together
on
that
there's
many
situations
that
I
know
personally
now
I'm
a
young
kid
that
grew
up
in
Dorchester
got
addicted
to
oxycontin,
got
addicted
to
heroin
and
before
you
know
that
their
bodies
being
sold
for
money,
so
they
can
keep
the
habit
going.
B
That
was
not
their
goal
in
life.
That
was
not
the
dream
in
life.
A
couple
of
those
people
that
I
know
personally
were
able
to
get
help.
One
young
lady
I
went
to
a
her
weight.
She
died
in
an
overdose,
so
they
thought
to
myself
when
I
melt
down,
it
was
right
on
I
became
the
man
I've
seen
the
prayer
at
the
clock.
Phone
I
was
thinking.
I
saw
my
mission
is
a
struggling
addict.
I
didn't
know
that
people
said
that
she
was
out.
They
used.
The
word
working,
God
asked
and
I
thought
to
myself.
B
I
saw
a
picture
of
high
school
she's,
a
beautiful
young
person
with
so
much
opportunity
and
promise.
We
need
to
continue
to
collectively
work,
so
the
people
that
are
out
there.
We
need
to
also
make
sure
that
we
prevent
and
stop
this
industry
ever
just
eliminated.
We
have
an
opportunity.
We
can
actually
eliminate
the
industry,
it's
Vegas
conference
iron,
but
this
East
Network
and
our
partners,
both
here
in
the
national
level
and
clearly
on
a
worldwide
level
that
it
here
with
us
today.
B
It's
really
important
I
get
the
invitation
in
2015
to
go
to
the
Vatican
I
told
this
story
before
and
I
went
to
the
Vatican
and
the
Pope
wanted
to
meet.
One
is
from
around
the
world
and
it
was
about
four
minutes
from
the
United
States
and
there's
a
bunch
of
men
all
over
the
world,
and
the
topics
were
climate
change
in
the
sex
trafficking,
trade
and
the
Pope
was
talking
about
it
wasn't
a
religious
aspect
of
it.
B
B
We
need
to
continue
to
move
forward
the
work
that
you're
doing
here
and
though
sometimes
it
gets
frustrated,
but
I
want
to
commend
all
they
don't
get
frustrated
because
you
are
doing
more
than
other
places,
and
sometimes
you
might
say
that's
not
enough.
It
might
not
be
enough
right
now,
but
we're
doing
is
you're
sending
example
for
a
city
next
door
to
us
or
a
city
across
the
ocean
from
us
to
look
to
our
lead
to
understand.
B
How
do
we
work
better
together,
be
happy
with
where
your
progress
is
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
with
you
to
work
to
make
better
progress?
That
is
what
our
goal
is.
In
the
city,
we
have
a
new
female
leader,
our
family
justice
unit,
captain
Theresa
Comiskey.
She
doesn't
she's
advancing
the
police
departments
number
one
vote
protecting
the
most
vulnerable
in
society.
B
This
is
a
very
complex
issue,
we're
trying
to
address
it
in
a
very
thoughtful
responsible
way
in
all
of
Africa,
and
all
of
our
efforts
were
making
sure
and
it's
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
the
survivors
voice
gets
current,
we're
working
to
prevent
people
from
being
trafficked
in
the
first
place.
That
makes
it
an
indigo
and
we're
deploying
the
resources
they
need
to
heal
and
thrive.
We
need
to
help
people
with
the
resources
to
heal
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
all
do
they
heal
that
they
drive
as
individuals.
B
Our
ultimate
goal
is
to
end
exploitation
once
and
for
all.
Today
we
want
to
learn
from
other
cities
and
countries
that
we
have
addressed
and
that
you
have
addressed
these
issues
in
different
various
ways.
There
is
no
playbook
to
this.
There
is
all
of
us
sharing
best
practices,
best
ideas,
because
every
single
individual
that
we
come
across
that
is
being
exploited,
is
a
different
human
being
and
the
way
the
work
of
them
is
a
different
way.
B
There's
not
a
system
that
you
can
work
with
everybody
in
the
care
and
the
help
and
the
support
they
need
a
very
different
from
each
person.
So
we
need
to
understand
that
and
listen
learn
from
each
other
today
about
little
teas
we
can
pick
on.
We
also
want
to
hear
what
hasn't
worked
and
I
think
in
Boston.
We
want
to
explain,
see
what
we've
done.
Dad's
worked
quite
honestly,
so
that
you
don't
make
the
same
or
you
can
make
the
same.
B
The
same
for
commissioner
bras.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
take
the
work
that
you're
doing
here
and
amplify
it
around
the
country
and
put
it
out
there
and
let
people
know
how
important
it
is,
and
while
we
have
to
do
something
about
those
leaders,
it's
largely
simply
about
filling
potholes
and
inviting
Christmas
trees
and
fixing
lights.
It's
about
working
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
the
people
in
that
city,
all
the
people
in
our
city,
regardless
of
who
they
are,
what
they,
where
they
come
from,
what
their
situation
is.
B
B
We
want
to
create
more
and
all
more
equitable
society
here
in
Boston
in
a
brama
country
this,
how
we
import
and
power
our
modulized,
it's
how
we
break
the
cycle
of
violence
and
trauma,
and
all
of
you
here
today
are
part
of
it.
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
letting
me
come
here
and
say
a
few
words
I'm
gonna
leave
here
in
a
few
minutes
and
go
to
another
meeting,
but
I
know
the
work.
That's
happening
right
here,
isn't
doing
the
same.
B
I
know
the
work
that
they're
doing
each
and
every
one
of
you
in
this
room
is
having
long
impact
on
somebody's
life,
so
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
see
Tompkins
and
all
the
other
elected
officials
in
China.
From
our
management's,
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today
having
this
very
important
dialogue,
conversation
idea
sharing
session
and
we
are
going
to
continue
to
work
strong
to
help
people
think.
