From YouTube: Youth Rally for Community Gun Violence Prevention
Description
Mayor Walsh joined with Boston Public Health Commission's Violence Intervention & Prevention Youth Organizing Institute, and other youth leadership organizations, for a rally at Roxbury's Madison Park Fields. The rally raised awareness around issues of community gun violence, its causes, and what young people can do to prevent it.
A
Hi

thank

being
here

and
supporting
my
youth,
thank
you
for
everyone,
within
the
Commission
and
outside
of
the
Commission,
for
sacrificing
your
Saturday
to
support
our
youth
in
their
endeavors
to
resist
institutionalized,
systemic
expectations
and
rise
above
gun,
violence
in
Boston,
I,
really
proud
or,
and
they've
done
so
far
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
them.
It's
about
Debbie,
not
me.

Rock
for
youth
programs,
tasty
veggie
programs,
Madison
Park,
who
did
I,
forget
VIP,
but
all
these
burgers
that
get
people
working
together
to
give
voice
to
the
issues
that
we
care
about
are
breaking
the
cycle
of
gun
violence.
This
is
critically
important
too
often.
The
conversations
that
are
happening
around
youth
violence
in
our
communities
are.
J
J
I
J
It
only
cares
deeply
about
these
issues,
but
I
also
want
you
to
know.
There's
other
ways
you
can
get
involved.
Another
way
that
you
can
push.
We
have
a
mayor's
Youth
Council.
That
brings
young
people
to
the
table
to
give
the
mayor
guidance
and
advice.
They
also
help
create
and
spend
1
million
dollars
money
every
year,
and
so
you
can
go
on
the
city
website.
G
J
The
mere
16
job
programs
you
successfully,
where
we're
hiring
roughly
three
thousand
young
people
every
summer,
it's
a
summer,
job
programs.
We
need
more.
We
know
that
for
we're
definitely
hiring
for
do
that.
We
have
a
gear,
a
girls,
Leadership
Program
to
the
Boston
Public.
Do
the
Boston
centers
were
using
families
I've
seen
some
really
powerful,
strong
young
women
leading
today.
So
that's
here
for
the
young
women
attorneys,
and
so
we
have
that
program
as
well.
That's
kind
of
working
out
give
give
up
these
issues
and
they
should
we
focus
on
them.
Let.
J
Job
in
Boston,
I
got
I
moved
here
21
years
ago,
I
know
they're
both
people.
That
means
yesterday,
but
I,
moved
here
21
years
ago,
and
my
first
job
was
organizing
and
connecting
with
Latino
youth
in
Roxbury,
Dorchester
and
Jamaica.
Plain
and
I
was
working
around
health
issues
and
health
equity
with
youth
leaders
and
when
I
learned
there
21
years
ago,
is
that
young
people
were
responsible
for
pushing
us.
J
They
were
responsible
for
pushing
adults
to
do
more
and
do
better
and
to
be
bold
and
take
risks
to
solve
the
issues
that
we
need
to
solve,
and
so
my
charge
to
everyone
here
is
not
only
thank
you
for
your
voices.
Thank
you
for
your
work,
but
my
charge
here
is:
don't
that
mean
as
a
city,
official
and
I
know
some
of
you
won't,
because
you
do
to
me
a
meetings
and
other
things.
J
L
M
K
So
having
everybody
bamaca
him,
so
we
parted
Mattie
I'm
kicking
off
the
first
song
solo.
So
this
is
so
this
first
song
I
do
it's
called
unconditional
your
songs,
a
follow
the
mothers
out
there
and
for
all
the
mothers
that
know
this
is
here.
Did
you
play
last
a
little
bit
closer
to
me
to
shout?
The
stage
is
like
you
see
that
white
line
across
that
way,
lon.
K
K
With
that
Revell
OPA
Latrell
James
through
history,
also
we
open
up
for
acrobatic
like
EMC
in
Boston.
We
also
did
that
on
Mother's
Day
peace
march.
You
got
that
on,
so
we
also
did
unify
the
fuss
at
all
the
Massachusetts
that
was
in
the
woods
crazy.
Oh,
we
also
in
Boston
Herald.
You
can
find
us
on
Instagram
project
under
school.
Nothing.
We
also
was
an
improper
Bostonian
magazine.
K
K
K

M

K

H
H
H
B
P
Let
me
first
of
all
sorry
I'm
late
Boston,
see
I
want
to
hear
us.
Have
me
I
want
to
thank
first
of
all
is
one
thing:
young
people
are
see,
we
have
less
than
Boston.
They
have
some
incredible
young
people
in
our
city
will
lead
us,
we're
not
afraid
to
speak
out,
we're
not
afraid
to
do
and
that's
what
we
need
right
now.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
P
I
want
to
thank
a
couple
organizations
as
well
forget
the
tough
Commission
yeah
pee-yew,
organizing
Institute
BPD.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
Sheena
community
st.
you
grant
initiative
all
folks
that
are
part
of
Shanna
grant.
Thank
you
very
much
all
the
organizations
that
are
here.
Thank
you
very
much
real
quick.
P
You
know
I'm
gonna,
be
in
out
for
four
and
a
half
years,
five
and
a
few
years,
and
one
of
the
hottest
phone
calls
that
I
receive
is
when
the
Commissioner
called
me
at
night,
it's
humbly
that
we
had
a
shooting
in
the
city
of
Austin
and
that
shooting
resulted
in
somebody
losing
their
life
and
oftentimes
I'll,
go
to
the
scene
or
out
next
day,
I'll
talk
to
the
parents
or
friends
of
the
person
who's
lost
and
when
I
look
deep
into
it.
Judy
the
same
thing.
P
Over
and
over
over
again,
it's
young
people
that
had
a
lack
of
opportunity
and
you're
not
hanging
with
a
group
of
people
that
they
thought
were
supportive
of
them
or
you're
caught
up
in
something
that
was
that
was
not
not
legal
and
oftentimes
leads
to
violence.
A
little
deeper
into
this.
You
find
out
how
to
the
in
person
get
access
to
yawn
six
example
of
guns
come
from
other
places,
40%
roughly
from
the
skate
most
of
them.
All
of
them
are
illegal.
P
Mostly
most
of
them
should
never
find
me
ready
for
the
hands
of
yet
people
in
the
city
of
oxygen
or
the
city
of
Chicago,
a
city
in
New
York
for
the
City
of
LA
or
the
city
of
Atlanta,
and
we
keep
asking
on
national
leaders
to
help
us
with
this.
Every
time
somebody
sees
a
national
tragedy.
Let
me
start
up
heartland
venue,
starring
el
Pasto.
We
saw
in
Dayton
this
opera
long
people
are
angry.
P
Then
there's
rallies
in
this
protest
in
this
conversation
and
here's
some
of
these
come
up
and
say
well
now
it's
about
time.
You
take
action,
and
then
time
goes
by
in
the
next
day
of
the
next
news
cycle.
There's
something
else
in
the
news
and
all
of
a
sudden
we
seem
to
forget
what
happened
to
the
vowels,
no
cities.
P
We
have
kids
and
men,
people
and
people
all
across
America
in
every
city
get
killed.
What
have
we
gained
in
every
city,
but
enough,
if
you
say
in
the
course
of
the
day
how
many
people
lost
their
life
in
America
today,
do
the
shootings,
you're
certainly
living
in
the
numbers
anywhere
between
25
and
50,
again,
all
across
America,
most
of
those
young
people
and
people
that
get
killed.
They
don't
look
like
me.
They
look
like
how
young
people
are
organizing
this
rally
today
and
I.
P
Don't
see
I,
don't
feel
the
sense
of
urgency
in
Washington
to
do
something
about
darkness.
Let
me
tell
you
what
the
legislation
of
a
background
check
will
do.
It
will
make
some
people
understand
that
somebody
walks
into
a
school
in
another
state.
They
want
to
buy
a
gun.
You
know
a
lot
of
places
the
background,
maybe
seven
days,
and
if
you
don't
have
a
background
check
within
seven
days
you
can
buy
other
night.
You
can
buy
as
many
as
you
want.
There's
no
registration,
nothing
right!
So
we're
gonna,
horns
and
I'm.
P
You
know
something
sparkly
again
and
over
time
those
guns
ends
up
ends.
Up
being
sold
on
the
way
back
of
economy,
and
they
end
up
on
the
streets
of
Boston,
so
they
will
purchase
originally
for
whatever
intention
it
was
in
a
different
state
and
they
end
up
in
Scent
streets
like
like
blocks
in
a
platoon
of
the
most
bizarre
murder.
P
We
have
a
background
check,
gun
laws.
What
are
you
talking
about
taking
guns
away
from
guns?
Well,
that's
not
what's
being
advocated,
yet
we're
saying
that
if
you're
buying
again,
we
want
you
to
have
a
background
check,
I.
Think
if
you
have
a
very
separate
register
again,
I
didn't
think.
If
you
buy
again,
you
set
insurance
with
them,
because
anyone
who
buys
a
car,
you
have
the
registry
account
and
you
have
to
have
maturity.
And
if
you
don't
have
insurance
the
amount,
you
don't
read
easy
path.
You
get
pulled
over.
P
You
could
get
arrested,
but
we
don't
earn
that
within
Boston.
But
the
point
is
you
have
to
do
that?
Why
not
the
same
thing
for
him?
I
appreciate
these
young
people
being
in
a
rally
and
I
appreciate
that
people
who
came
before
them
and
rally
and
I
appreciate
the
young
people
that
came
before
them
and
rally.
P
But
when
is
enough
enough,
we
have
a
yearly
leg
state,
Senate,
Mitch
McConnell,
who
said
before
the
Sun
responded.
We
will
take
the
piece
of
legislation
up
and
pass
it
in
sent
in
the
Senate
when
the
summer
ended.
Maybe
it
too
much
Sun,
he
came
back
and
so
all
passed
legislation
at
the
president
signs
it
that
wasn't
it
work
on
the
bright
side.
There
is
great
things
happening,
look
around
this
park
today
and
all
over
the
city
of
Boston
there's
not
met
rallies
in
Ghent
people
that
are
being
rivas.
