From YouTube: Mothers for Justice and Equality Annual Convening
Description
"It's not okay" - the motto of Mothers for Justice and Equality.
Too many mothers in Boston and nationwide have lost children to senseless street violence. At the Mothers for Justice and Equality Annual Convening at Boston University's Brookline campus, Mayor Walsh stands in solidarity with grieving families who are working together to heal the wounds left behind.
A
A
I
loved
it
from
the
morning
the
morning
time
folks
were
getting
all
in
and
I
noticed
that
people
are
heavily
engaged
in
and
the
workshops,
maybe
I'll,
just
hear
from
maybe
one
or
two
but
I'm
gonna
check
quickly.
You
know
anyone
wanted
to
share
anything
about
their
workshop
that
they
learned
was
inspiring
or
touching.
Something
very
brief.
Anyone
if
I
see
in
here
please
thank
you.
A
A
Thank
you,
let's,
let's
make
sure
as
we're
going
through
this
next
session,
then
as
we
have
lunch
and
we're
going
to
have
another
panel
discussion
this
afternoon,
we
had
a
great
opportunity
in
those
workshops,
but
also
the
apparent
discussions.
Let's
listen,
learn
and
let's
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
ask
those
questions,
because
what
I
want
to
just
reiterate
and
if
you
look
a
few
hours
later,
if
we're
looking
at
this
room,
it
is
powerful
to
be
part
of
a
movement
building.
A
It
is
Paul
to
be
part
of
Moodle
and
folks
we're
on
a
roll
and
the
other
thing
too.
Sometimes
you
see
the
cameras
and
you
see
the
video.
What
we're
doing
is
documenting
success
with
documenting
success,
because
folks,
throughout
this
country
are
going
to
know
that
we
were
here-
and
we
were
here
and
as
last
year,
we're
just
continuing
to
get
more
and
more
folks
engaging
involved,
I'm
going
to
bring
up
Mona
Lisa
for
the
next
intro,
but
I
I
didn't
just
take
a
second.
A
You
know,
as
Mona
Lisa
will
introduce
the
mayor,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
gonna
say,
for
my
just
personal
view,
you'll
hear
about
people
with
titles,
the
mirror
and
others
like
in
its
real
you're
gonna
bust,
your
hump,
you
gotta
campaign.
You
have
to
do
this,
but
isn't
it
cool
that
you
have
a
mayor
that
knows
how
to
play
in
the
c-suite
but
also
plays
on
the
street
to
sweep
to
the
street.
This
is
what
this
we're
done.
A
So
if
I
stole
many
of
your
thunder,
Mona
Lisa
I
apologize
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
it's
so
great
to
be
in
a
room
with
what
I
will
say-
and
you
can
debate
with
me
later,
because
we
have
eleven
cities
here.
Who
I
exceed
believe
is
the
best
mayor
and
the
United
States
of
America
Mona
Lisa.
B
B
D
B
E
E
B
To
to
share
with
you
how
important
this
award
is
to
us,
we
don't
just
give
this
award
to
anybody.
Y'all
know
we
don't
give
it
to
anybody,
because
it's
from
our
heart,
it's
from
a
part
of
us
that
that's
very
deep
and
so,
but
we
saw
it
be
fitting
to
share
it
with
mayor
Marty
Walsh,
because
he
is
committed
to
our
children.
B
You
know
he's
committed
to
them,
you
know
being
the
best
that
they
can
possibly
be
and
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
always
hold
on
to
that
he
says
is
that
you
know
that
they
just
need
some
help
right.
We
need
to
you
know
not
not
not
incarcerate
our
way
out
of
our
problem.
We
need
to
put
some
resources
and
jobs
and
we
need
to
understand
what's
happening
with
our
children
so
that
they
can
have
a
better
life
and
that's
what
I
love.
B
B
D
Move
forward
I
just
never
thought
that
I
would
be
myself
ever
again,
but
with
the
help
of
mrs.
Smith
and
her
organization,
it
gave
me
courage
and
Commission.
I
am
recently
in
three
years
ago,
when
I
received
my
award
and
I'm
still
with
this
organization
and
I'll
always
be
mothers
for
justice.
I
was
body.

I

I

Where
were
you
from
the
cities?
Your
funnel
and
those

lot
of
cities
here
and
harmonious
Mona
Lisa
said
already.
G
We
won't
stop
naming
cities,
but
thank
you
all
I
do
want
to
give
a
special
shout
to
California,
because
I
read
stops
on
the
way
down
there
right
now,
so
he's
saying,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that,
and
the
cities
that
are
in
this
room
I
know
some
of
you
in
your

Thank

I

you
every

I
just
want
to
want
introduce

G
People
that
are
here
from
the
city
of
Boston,
first
of
all,
Robin
Lewis,
doesn't
work
for
the
city,
but
he
runs
a
program
called
the
base,
which
is
a
baseball
program,
he's
going
on
the
country
with
it,
and
it
helps
young
people
meant
to
young
people
so
that
again
it's
about
helping
helping.
How
do
we
get
young
people
involved
in
something
positive
and
it's
through
baseball
and
out
education
and
they're
gonna
open
a
new
center
and
we're
excited
here
in
the
city?
So
I
want
to
thank
Robert
for
all
his
great
work.
G
We
have
Emma
Andy
who's,
the
chief
US
chief
financial

the
city

Laurie
Nelson,
who

the
chief

I

We
have
some
other
folks
here.
G
Those
folks
that
are
here
today
from
the
city
they're,
not
here,
because
I
asked
them
to
come
all
right
old
them.
The
p.m.
the
work
that
they're
doing,
if
you
think
about
the
area's
I
just
mentioned
budgeting,
making
sure
we
have
the
money
for
programs
Emma's
responsible
for
that
housing
and
out
of
the
part
of
the
ending
the
cycle
of
violence,
is
creating
good
opportunities
for
housing,
Sheela
Dylan's
responsible
for
that
policy.
G
G
He
went
there
last
night
and
played
some
hoop
with
with
the
game
unit
in
the
Boston
Police
Department
it
wasn't
staged,
it
wasn't
cameras,
there
wasn't
pressed
there
wasn't
no,
but
nobody
was
there
was
just
them
playing
basketball
and
he
sent
it
to
me
because
he
thought
it
was
important
for
me
to
see
because
we've
gone
to
a
stretch
here
in
the
city.
That's
that
that's
somewhat
depressing,
and
he
did
does
that
Maddie
Martinez
is
helping
him
in
services.
G
So
all
the
social
service
programs

the
city
of
Boston
in
his
department,
Laurie
Nelson

race
and
racism
in
the
city
of

a
whole
bunch
of
other
reasons
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
it.
G
We

G
To
all
the
mothers
and
grandmothers
and
anyone
who
wants
somebody
they
love
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
inviting
me
here
this
morning
and
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
This
honor
is
is,
is
some
unbelievable
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
generally
when
I
come
to
this
when
they
come
to
this.
This
conference
I
have
speech
here
and
usually
I'm
by
the
third
page
and
completely
off
script
and
I.
G
Don't
also
feel
with
me:
I
just
got
to
page
one
and
I'll
get
to
a
page
showing
it,
but
this
organization
has
done
incredible.
Powerful
work
in
the
city
of
Boston
really
has,
and
no
matter
where
you
are
in
the
city
and
I
became
mayor
five
years
ago.
I
was
a
state
representative
prior
to
that
in
the
organization
that
I
work
with
the
most
at
that
point,
I
had
been
Tina
cherry,
because
I
knew
Tina
and
I
was
part
of
the
Mother's
Day
walk
little
first
meeting.
G
They
that
we
ever
did
a
town
field
and
I
was
a
state
rep
and
I
was
involved
at
the
table
and
and-
and
that
was
my
my
involvement
being
the
mayor
in
the
challenges
that
you
face
as
a
city,
not
just
as
mayor,
but
as
a
city.
You
realize
that
an
organization
like
this
is
so
important
because
the
women
in
this
organization
of
survivors-
this
is
not
an
organization,
I,
started
and
said:
okay,
we're
gonna
work
with
survivors
or
an
organization.
Some
of
us
thought
that
we're
going
to
work
with
people.
G
This
is
actually
an
organization
of
survivors
who
are
who
were
helping
other
mothers
get
through,
or
grandmothers
get
through
a
very
bad
time
in
their
life
and
helping
a
city
get
through
a
very
difficult
time
in
healing,
and
that's
what
this
organization
about
and
a
lot
of
people,
it's
work,
you
do
that
space,
and
so
many
other
organizations
I
see.
So
many
of
you.
If
that's
not
naming
you
I'll,
be
in
trouble,
but
you
do
that
space
in
different
areas
too,
in
the
City
of
Austin,
but
throughout
the
country
this
represents.
G
This
organization
represents
true
resilience
unrelenting
in
their
mission
to
move
forward,
to
bring
heat,
peace
and
healing
and
in
deal
with
senseless
violence
that
that's
really
happening
all
across
America,
but
here
in
Bonn,
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
showing
people
and
another
way
forward.
It's
important
for
us,
as
we
think
about
healing
that
it's
it's
what
we
have
to
work
with
our
young
people
and
help
them
heal.
We
have
to
work
with
our
families
and
help
them
heal.
G
We
have
to
work
with
our
communities
and
help
them
heal,
help,
grandmother's
and
nieces
and
nephews
and
and
fit,
or
the
entire
family
unit.
Hill.
As
we
think
about
this
violence,
you
know
in
Boston
we
do
a
lot
of
work
to
end
the
cycle
of
violence.
We
created
the
Office
of
Public
Safety
that
wasn't
an
office
before
we
expect
be
dependent
on
the
police
department.
It
was
kind
of
the
police
department
that
were
that.
G
We've
always
looked
at
okay,
they're
responsible
for
taking
the
bad
guys
off
the
street
and
they're
responsible
for
feeling
the
violence
and
then
responsible,
reaching
out
to
people
and
they're
responsible
this
and
responsible
that
and
when
I
became
the
mayor.
I
had
a
conversation
teeny
learned
before
I
became
the
mayor
and
I
said
we
need
to
do
something
different
in
Boston.
At
the
time
he's
working
for
the
DA's
office
and
I
said
we
need
to
do
something
different
in
Boston
yeah.
We
need
to
have
a
different
opportunity
to
connect
people.
G
What
is
that
we
didn't
know?
I
did
elected
first
and
we
got
elected
and
when
I
got
elected
we
say:
okay,
we're
gonna,
create
the
Office
of
Public
Safety,
and
that
office
is
gonna,
be
an
office.
It's
gonna
be
used
in
different.
We
didn't
have
a
definition
for
the
office.
I
think
we
still
have
a
definition
for
the
office,
because
it
does
anything
and
everything
it
connects
services
together
and
connects
the
clergy
together.
It
connects
the
people
together.
It's
it
goes
out
in
plays
basketball
and
I.
G
It
goes
out
and
talks
the
kids
in
the
corner.
It
helps
us
create
a
program
called
operation
exit,
which
is
a
program
where
we've
gotten
almost
a
hundred
kids
getting
involved
young
men
and
women
into
the
building
trades
and
they're
working
today,
I
have
a
picture
of
my
phone
of
a
young
man
that
that
was
in
a
game
two
years
ago
and
the
other
day
Danny
sent
me
the
picture,
because
we
went
to
a
stretch
here
and
he's
sitting
on
top
of
one
Dalton.
G
If
you
don't,
one
Dalton
is
when
you're
leaving
here
today
or
when
you're
going
home.
It's
the
Charles
built
the
dirt
tiles
building
in
Boston.
There's
a
crane
on
the
top
there's
a
young
man
on
the
top
building
in
my
phone
with
Honda
sazon,
because
he's
an
ironworker
now
and
he's
working
on
that
building,
which
he
is
with
he's
a
gang
member
in
the
streets
of
Boston.
G
Those
are
the
things
that
are
important.
Those
are
things
that
we
have
to
do.
We
have
to
continue
working
on
early
education
together,
we
need
to
continue
working
on
strengthening
education.
Together,
we
need
to
continue
to
move
forward.
We
need
to
continue
to
do
everything
we
can
in
Boston,
we've
created
a
lot
of
offices
officer
returning
citizens,
we're
working
with
sheriff
Steve
Tompkins
in
making
sure
that
when
somebody
I
equate
violence
in
some
cases,
people
that
do
an
act
of
violence
that
go
to
prison
that
come
out
to
to
recovery.
G
G
That's
what's
important,
that's
what's
important
and
we're
trying
to
do
that
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
it's
complicated,
but
as
you,
the
people
that
are
here
today,
it's
complicated.
But
as
long
as
we
all
do
our
job,
we
can
make
it
work
because
we
have
kids
that
are
going
to
school
right
now
that
don't
have
a
place
to
live
that
homeless.
So
so
the
trauma
of
that
alone
won't
put
them
on
a
pathway
to
success.
So
that's
why
we
have
a
housing
department,
shell
and
our
housing
department
doing
their
thing.
G
We
have
kids
in
our
schools
that
their
fathers
are
in
prison
for
crime.
Then,
when
they
get
out,
if
you're
a
young
man,
you
don't
know
how
to
be
a
father
and
if
you
didn't
have
a
good
role
model.
Father
growing
up
you're,
certainly
not
gonna,
be
on
a
successful
pathway
to
success,
and
that's
why
our
officer
reentry
returning
citizens
needs
to
be.
It
needs
to
be
strengthened
to
help
educate
people
how
to
be
parents.
Our
kids
are
having
kids.
G
We
need
to
help
them
and
guide
them
and
make
sure
that
if
they
don't
have
the
support
behind
them,
how
do
they
move
forward?
We
have
families
that
have
drug
addiction
and
trauma
and
Monte
Martinez
offices.
We
have
the.
We
have
the
office
of
recovery
services
to
help
people
get
into
treatment.
This
is
a
cycle.
This
is
a
circle,
I
should
say,
and
this
circle
needs
to
be
filled
in
all
different
ways
and
we
need
to
continue
to
work
together.
Moving
forward
in
Boston
may
give
you
some
stats.
G
This
year
alone,
we've
taken
more
than
550
guns
off
the
street.
Our
shootings
are
down
25
percent
compared
to
this
time
last
year,
I
pot
one
crimes
were
way
down
from
this
time.
Last
year,
in
the
last
five
years
we've
had
we've
had
reductions
across
the
board
and
crime.
We
appointed
a
new
police
commissioner,
Chief
Commissioner
Willa
gross
is
either
gonna,
be
here
coming
first
African
American
Commission
in
the
history
of
Boston,
we
created
a
new
Bureau
in
Boston
for
four
community
community
off
of
community
service
officers
in
our
Bastion
superintendent.
G
It
should
probably
be
in
a
little
while
that's
a
good
story
to
tell
three
weeks
ago,
for
eight
straight
days,
seven
straight
days
we
had
eight
homicides,
so
with
all
the
good
things
that
we
think
we're
doing,
or
we
are
doing
I
think
we're
doing.
We
had
eight
homicides
in
seven
days
in
Boston
and
they're
all
different
wait,
an
eight-year-old
shot,
wait.
A
guy
work
in
a
gas
station
was
a
family
who
was
getting
robbed
and
good
shot.
G
We
had
a
young
woman
get
shot
in
a
car
who
was
sitting
in
the
cars
or
boyfriend's
in
the
house,
and
somebody
walked
up
an
inch
shorter.
We
had
two
kids
shot
that
were
involved
and
stuff
all
of
this
stuff
going
on.
We
had
in
our
city,
so
no
matter
what
we
do.
We
still
have
those
those
instances
when
I
talk
about
crime.
When
I
talk
about
shootings.
You
know
when
I
look
as
mayor
of
the
city.
G
G
That's
true
on
her
mother's
on
the
other
side
of
the
gun,
who
lost
their
son
or
daughter,
mostly
sons,
it's
a
violence.
Some
of
these
folks,
edit
that
up
that
are
pulling
the
trigger
and
they're
shooting
people,
they're,
not
kids,
they're
dirty
five
years
old
and
40
years
old,
and
some
of
them
are
babies,
but
all
of
them
are
somebody's
children,
regardless
of
what
their
life
is
or
what
they
have
done,
or
how
good
or
how
bad
they
are.
There's
somebody's
kid
we
have
to
do
better.
G
They
tried,
they
did
it
on
their
own
and
they
will
talk
about
the
guns
and
our
sheets
that
people
have
too
much
access
to.
And
how
do
we
get
those
guns
off
the
street
people
ask
me
all
the
time.
What's
the
hardest
part
of
my
job,
the
hardest
part
of
my
job
is
when
I
fall
off
on
the
Commissioner.
To
tell
me
somebody
got
killed
because
most
times,
I
know
that
that
family
doesn't
have
the
means
to
bury
their
child.
G
I
know
that
that
young
person
didn't
wake
up
one
day
and
say
well,
I
think
I
want
to
go
out
inside
trouble
because
that
wasn't
in
the
in
the
in
their
plan.
That's
the
hottest
part
of
this
job
being
mayor
and
city
of
Boston,
and
it's
been
happened
several
times
now,
where
a
young
person
we
had
killed
in
Boston
and
I
will
get
a
picture
of
me
and
that
young
person
somewhere
the
first
time
it
happened.
G
It
wasn't
a
girl,
an
innocent
young
woman
who
went
into
the
Giove
parade
during
the
Caribbean
festival
weekend,
Don
Jaffa
and
everyone
loved
and
Don
got
shot
shoes
well
having
a
fun
day,
two
guys
shooting
each
other
bullet
ricocheted
hit
her
in
the
head
and
a
few
weeks
later,
actually
a
week
later,
I
got
a
text
of
a
selfie
that
me
and
Don
took
the
a
before.
Those
are
the
things
that
we
have
to
continue
to
work
together
on
in
eliminate
the
mothers
in
this
room
that
have
have
personally
experienced
the
loss
of
a
child.
G
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
strength
and
the
rest
of
us.
We're
not
gonna
understand
these
mothers
in
the
room
that
lost
a
child
or
a
grandma
lost
a
child
they're
not
pointing
fingers
at
each
other
yelling
each
other
about.
What's
going
to
happen,
we
need
to
be
held
accountable,
but
we
need
to
stop
blaming
each
other.
We
need
to
start
working
together,
moving
forward,
we're
doing
that
in
Boston,
you're
doing
that
in
many
of
your
cities
that
are
here
today
this
conference.
G
G
I
promise
you
I'm
bringing
these
conversations
to
those
mirrors
as
well,
because
sometimes
people
don't
know
what
to
do,
and
sometimes
they
need
you
to
educate
them
on
what
they
need
to
do,
because
they're
human
beings
and
they've
never
experienced
it
some
of
them
and
they
don't
know
how
to
deal
with
it.
And
they
just
think
that,
oh,
my
god,
what
am
I
gonna
do,
and
you
know
the
shift
has
happened
where
kids
that
got
shot.
What
would
so-called
you
know
all?
G
They
were
troubled
to
actually
understand
that
they're
human
beings,
and
how
do
we
move
forward?
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
push
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
with
organizations
that
are
in
this
room
today,
like
mothers
for
justice
and
equality
like
lipstick,
like
the
Lewis
D
Barbies
curriculum,
like
all
the
other
organizations
that
are
here,
we're
gonna
continue
to
move
forward
and
push
forward,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
goal,
our
goal
in
Boston,
is
to
get
to
zero
homicides.
That's
our
goal!
That's
oddly.
G
G
G
Just
want
I'm
just
here
today
to
say
it's
not
okay
and
I,
understand
why
it's
not
okay
and
I,
understand
that
and
what
I'm
going
to
continue
to
work
with
all
of
my
friends
and
colleagues
here
today
and
all
of
you,
whether
it's
Robert
Lewis
in
a
program
that
he's
doing
whether
it's
Rachel
Rawlings,
is
a
statistic.
Attorney
rachel
took
some
heat
during
the
the
race
for
DA,
because
she
made
some
statements
about
she
wanted
to
help.
People
put
them
on
a
pathway
to
success,
rather
than
locking
them
up.
G
She
took
some
heat
for
that,
and
people
gotta
understand
that
it's
not
okay,
it's
not!
Okay,
we
need
to
continue.
We
need
to
work
to
try
and
help
people
move
forward.
Last
thing
I'll
say
is
is,
and
this
is
an
important
to
Rachel's
Rachel's
campaign,
probably
about
eight
years
ago,
DMO
her
and
asked
me
he
was
at
da
Leary
in
the
gun
court.
At
the
time
he
asked
me
to
come
and
meet
with
a
bunch
of
kids,
so
I
love
the
st.
Peters
Teen
Center
and
all
these
kids
are
getting
involved.
G
They
look
like
legit
gang
members,
they're
all
connected
to
somebody
and
the
reason
why
I
went
at
the
time.
I
ran
the
building,
trades
and
I
was
a
state
representative,
and
we
were
trying
to
tell
these
young
people's.
It
is
another
up,
there's
another
option
than
the
street
that
the
option
was
the
building
trades.
Before
we
created
the
program
when
I
became
mayor,
we
sat
in
a
room,
we
talked
about
it
with
Dean.
G
He
said
to
them
was
that
I'm
gonna
walk
you
out,
but
I'm
gonna
put
you
in
jail
for
your
violence,
but
I'm
opening
the
door
a
crack
right
now
for
you
allowing
you
to
leave,
meaning
that
you
have
an
opportunity
at
this
particular
moment
to
turn
your
life
around.
It's
your
call
and
I
can't
remember
in
that
room
of
those
those
kids
that
day
took
that
took
that
took
that
that
opportunity,
but
I
do
know
one
of
those
kids
in
that
room.
Isn't
on
this
earth
with
us
anymore
and
I.
Remember
Deanie!
G
So
it's
not
okay
and
it's
okay
to
think
outside
the
box
and
it's
okay
to
think
differently,
and
it's
okay
to
put
pressure
on
elected
officials
and
it's
okay
to
call
it
MS
and
it's
okay,
the
color
of
governance
and
it's
okay
to
call
at
City
Council's
and
it's
okay
to
college
district
attorneys
and
it's
okay
to
work
with
the
police
department,
because
there
are
people
in
the
department
that
care
about
young
people
and
I
can't
speak
for
other
cities.
But
I
can
speak
for
Boston.
There
were
people
that
care
about
our
city.
G
There's
another
man
here.
His
name
is
Denis
Rory
sent
over
by
the
door.
He
works
with
he's
with
me
now
in
City
Hall,
on
the
security
detail,
but
I
met
Dennis
when
he
was
a
community
service
officer
at
C
11
in
Bath,
Dorchester
I
was
a
state
rep
and
Dennis
used
to
run
all
the
community
service
stuff
him
in
a
couple
other
office
and
that
guy
named
Paul
Johnson
who
got
us
started
and
we
well.
We
became
friends
through
helping
the
community.
G
We
became
friends
to
the
bike
rodeo
and
giving
kids
opportunities
how
to
ride
a
bike
but
build
a
relationship.
We
became
friends
because
during
Christmas
parties
we
early
a
Christmas
choice
to
build
relationships,
Halloween
parties,
senior
citizen
parties,
that's
how
we
became
friends,
it's
about
relationships,
so
I'm,
rambling
now
so
I'm
gonna,
stop
talking
I
want
to.
Thank
you,
I
want
to
thank
you
all
I'm,
so
honored
to
receive
this
recognition.
G
A
So
folks,
what
we're
gonna
do
is
not
too
much
to
say,
except
now
you
understand
why
our
mirror
was
just
honored
for
the
conviction
of
courage.
His
cabinet
is
here
in
folks
that
are
part
of
the
mayor's
cabinet
set.
Please
stand
so
folks
can
see
you
please
please
stand
or
look
raise
your
hand,
so
folks,
don't
and
I
knew
Rachel
Rawlings
was
here.
A
She
may
have
just
stepped
out
for
a
quick
second.
What
we're
gonna
do
right
now
is
not
too
many
more
words
photo
op
with
mother,
suggested
equality,
staff
and
folks
at
the
mayor,
but
we're
also
going
to
have
folks
go
out
and
grab
lunch.
Please
say
hello
to
the
mayor's
cabinet
fishes,
make
sure
you're
checking
in
with
each
other
making
sure
the
discussion
keeps
happening
over
lunch
and
we're
gonna
get
everybody
back.
Even
though
I
know
it
says
when
it
started.
12:30
we're
actually
gonna
try
to
get
started
earlier,
so
listen
meet
with
folks.
