Description
Boston Human Rights Commission Public Meeting 12.15.22
A
B
B
Just
for
some
statistics
we
have
received
so
the
both
forms
have
been
up
since
summer
of
last
year,
so
we
have
received
67
total
intakes
and
60
of
them
have
been
successfully
referred
out
just
on
a
data
point.
But
if
you
also
go
on
our
website,
you
can
see
that
we
have
a
dashboard
that
kind
of
breaks
down
the
intakes
that
we
have
received
once
the
intake
form
is
combined
into
one
I'm
going
to
update
the
dashboard.
Just
so,
it's
a
little
bit
more
clear
and
a
bit
more
visually
appealing.
B
Looking
also,
we
all
met
Denise
dos
Santos
who's,
the
education
Outreach
manager
for
the
team,
the
last
meeting
she's
also
on
this
call.
Thank
you
Denise
for
joining.
She
has
hit
the
ground
running
already
and
has
put
together
a
resource
guide
that
we're
looking
to
hopefully
publish
soon
and
also
have
that
translated
in
addition
to
a
how-to
guide
and.
C
A
B
B
B
So
this
is
kind
of
this
was
like
a
trial
presentation.
It
was
very,
very
informative.
They
are
looking
to
have
this
presentation.
I'm
sorry
I
forgot
to
say
that
is
the
Boston
Police
Department,
but
it's
specifically
the
brick,
which
is
the
Boston
Regional
Intelligence
Center,
that
put
together
the
presentation
and
it
was
kind
of
a
trial
basis
to
get
feedback
on
it
so
that
they
can
do
Outreach
and
show
this
intelligence,
intelligence
briefing
to
Boston
area
bar
and
club
Owners.
B
B
B
Okay,
on
that,
no
we
do
have
council
president
Ed
Flynn
here.
He
has
asked
to
just
give
a
couple
of
couple
minute
remarks
specifically
towards
hate
crime.
Since
that's
the
topic
of
our
presentations
tonight.
I
am
super
excited
that
he's
here
and
if
I
can
promote
you
correctly
there
we
go
hi
there,
counselor
Flynn.
How
are
you
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening?.
B
D
Say
a
few
words
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
important
work
that
is
being
done
by
the
Human
Rights
Commission.
It
plays
a
critical
role
in
our
city
and
we're
seeing
hate
crimes
not
only
throughout
Greater
Boston,
we're
seeing
them
throughout
throughout
the
country,
attacks
against
the
lgbtq
plus
Community
immigrant
neighbors
communities
of
Kala,
but
also
others
as
well
in
the
disability
community
in
the
aapi
community,
but
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
important
work
that
you
play
in
in
bringing
respect
and
dignity
to
people
to
all
people.
D
But
I
also
want
to
work
closely
with
you,
as
I
have
been
doing
to
make
sure
that
you
have
the
resources
and
support
to
do
the
job,
because
hate
crimes
is
unacceptable
here
in
Boston.
It's
on
acceptable
across
the
country
and
I
think
we
need
to
strengthen
our
hate
crimes,
laws
in
enforcement
in
documentation
and
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
what
you're
doing
tonight
is
a
critical
role
in
addressing
it
and
not
sweeping
anything
under
the
rug,
but
addressing
it
acknowledging
it's
a
major
problem
in
in
dealing
with
it
in
an
appropriate
way.
D
A
A
A
Those
were
the
times
of
the
forced
desegregation
of
Boston
Public
Schools.
They
struggle
for
gay
rights
and
the
AIDS
epidemic
in
Boston.
They
were
dark
times
in
Boston
in
1989.
The
commission
actively
supported
the
state's
gay
rights
bill
before
anybody
else
and
served
as
mediator
in
several
racially
charged
disputes
in
City
neighborhoods
such
as
Jamaica
Plain
and
Dorchester,
my
neighborhood
38
years
later.
The
struggle
continues.
A
A
Unlike
other
social
problems.
If
the
city
of
Boston
wants
to
tackle
the
epidemic
of
hate,
it
cannot
rely
on
the
state
nor
Own
federal
government,
because
hate
reporting
is
voluntary
and,
as
a
result,
hate
data
is
incomplete
throughout
the
country
and
in
this
little
our
presentation
today
addresses
two
questions,
one.
What
would
be
the
first
step
to
understand
and
assess
acts
of
hate
in
Boston
two?
What
could
be
the
role
of
the
Boston
Human
Rights
Commission
in
addressing
this
epidemic
of
hate?
A
E
For
this
analysis
that
I'm
going
to
show
you
today,
based
on
hate
crime,
reporting,
I
used
hate
crime
data,
that's
most
widely
accessible.
It
comes
from
the
FBI,
it's
known
as
fbiucr
Uniform
Crime
reporting
the
agencies
in
the
city
voluntarily
report
to
FBI.
As
the
chairwoman
was
saying,
there
is
no
law
requiring
reporting,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
agencies
that
report
and
where
the
data
that
I
got
today
is
coming
from.
E
It's
coming
from
the
Boston
Police
Department
Boston,
University,
Northeastern,
University,
UMass,
University
of
Massachusetts
of
Boston,
Emerson
College
and
the
Massachusetts
General
Hospital,
and
so
those
are
the
reporting
agencies
in
the
city
that
report
to
this
FBI
FBI
database.
Like
all
data
sets,
it's
limited
right.
It
only
includes
what's
reported
by
law
enforcement
agencies,
and
so
there
has
to
be
first
in
offense
right
and
so
whether
it's
robbery,
intimidation,
destruction,
vandalism
and
so
law
enforcement
response
to
that
offense.
E
Then
the
law
enforcement
agency
would
reclassify
that
as
a
hate
crime
and
therefore
that
then
gets
gets
reported,
and
so
that's
where
all
the
data
comes
from
just
keep
in
mind
that
it's
reported
hate
crimes
right
and
it's
not
generally,
incidents
that
are
happening
across
across
the
city
to
ensure
the
data
is
consistent
year
to
year.
The
classification
used
may
not
be
what
how
communities
identify
today.
E
So,
for
example,
if
a
hate
crime
was
happened
against
somebody
who
may
identify
as
queer
the
hate
crime
would
still
be
labeled
as
anti-gay
right,
and
so
the
classification
has
been.
It's
been
the
same
since
the
90s,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
the
classification
you'll
see
today
anti-day
anti-chewish,
those
I
did
not
come
up
with
those
classifications.
E
E
There
was
also
a
global
pandemic,
and
so
there
could
be
reporting
issues
there,
or
maybe
there
was
less
crime
in
a
global
pandemic,
but
it
is
noteworthy
that
while
the
state
continues
to
report,
hate
crimes
and
hate
crimes
are
on
the
rise
in
the
state
level,
they
appear
to
be
decreasing
in
a
sharp
decrease
at
the
city
level.
So
I
think
that's
that's
noteworthy
and
maybe
Warren
some
further
further
investigation
there
on
the
next
data
point
that
I.
E
The
next
analysis
that
I
drew
out
from
the
data
is
anti-jewish,
biased,
hate
crimes,
and
so
you
will
see
that,
while
at
the
state
level
reported
anti-jewish
hate
crimes
at
the
state
level
are
actually
decreasing,
you
will
see
that
at
the
city
level
they
are
increasing.
So
that's
interesting
to
put
in
context
with
the
previous
slide.
I
just
showed
you
right
where
we
reported
hate
crimes
in
Boston
are
actually
decreasing.
To
then
see
that
reported
anti-jewish,
biased
hate
crimes
are
actually
increasing
at
the
at
the
city
level,
and
so
that
that
that's
interesting
there.
E
The
third
data
point
here
is
regarding
ethnic
and
racial,
biased,
hate
crimes.
Again
just
a
reminder:
these
categories
have
been
used
by
law
enforcement
agencies
for
for
decades,
so
I
looked
at
anti-arab
anti-asian,
anti-black
or
African-American
anti-hispanic
or
Latino
classified
hate
crimes
and
you'll,
see
that
anti-black
or
African-American
in
Boston
sharply
decreased,
while
increasing
at
the
state
level.
Again.
This
could
be
for
a
number,
a
number
of
reasons.
The
data
set
for
2020
could
not
be
complete,
yet
maybe
Global
pandemic.
Maybe
communities
are
just
reporting
less.
E
There
could
be
tons
of
tons
of
reasons
for
this
tons
of
causes
and
then
we'll
see
with
anti-hispanic
or
Latino
classified
hate
crimes
in
Massachusetts
again
the
Seattle
line
is
hate
crimes,
they're
classified
to
be
anti-hispanical,
Latino
increasing
at
the
state
level,
but
becoming
stagnant
at
the
city
level.
Again
there
could
be
tons
of
causes
for
this
right,
but
it
is.
E
Then
I
looked
at
lgbtq
based
biased
hate
crimes
in
Massachusetts
and
in
Boston
and
grams
that
are
classified
anti-gay.
That's
this
blue
line.
You
can
see
that
they're
decreasing
both
in
the
state
and
in
the
city.
So
that's
an
opposite
pattern
than
we
saw
with
ethnic-based
and
racial
based
hate
crimes,
but
you
see
that
anti-transgender
and
anti-gender
non-conforming
reported
hate
crimes
are
increasing
both
at
the
state
level
and
at
the
city
level.
This
gray
line
is
okay.
E
Crimes
reported
to
be
anti-lesbian,
which
are
increasing
state
level,
decreasing
City
level,
but
then
yellow
is
anti-transgender,
and
this
line
here,
that's
a
little
bit
of
an
orange
is
anti-gender
non-conforming
and
you'll
see
that
both
of
those
are
increasing
at
the
state
level
as
well
as
well.
At
the
city
level,.
E
I
wanted
to
then
cut
the
data
by
offenses
and
see
if
there's
any
interesting
learnings
that
can
be
gauged
from
the
types
of
offenses
how
different
groups
are
targeted
and
I.
I
found
that
22
percent
of
reported
hate
crime
offenses
in
Boston
from
that
10-year
period
were
anti-gay.
But
then,
when
I
looked
at
aggravated,
assault,
I
found
that
26
of
aggravated
assault
take
crimes
are
actually
anti-gay
and
I
found
that
same
pattern
for
crimes
that
are
classified
to
be
anti-hispanic
or
Latino.
E
Seven
percent
of
reported
hate
crime
offenses
in
Boston,
from
2010
to
2020,
were
reported
to
be
anti-hispanic
or
Latino.
That's
seven
percent,
but
then,
when
you
look
at
aggravated
assault,
nine
percent
of
all
aggravated
assault.
Offenses
are
anti-hispanical
Latino.
What
that
tells
us
is
that
anti-gay
crimes
and
anti-hispanical
Latino
crimes
are
overrepresented
when
in
aggravated
assaults
cases
we
see
something
similar
with
anti-jewish-motivated
hate
crimes
in
Boston,
which
accounted
for
eight
percent
of
reported
hate
crimes
from
2010
to
2020.
E
But
when
I
just
look
at
destruction,
damage
and
vandalism,
30
and
that's
astounding,
right,
30
of
Destruction
damage,
vandalism,
property
crimes,
I'm
motivated
by
anti-anti-jewish
hate
and
so
talia's
findings
with
her
qualitative
data
found
that
this
is
actually
the
pattern.
That's
observed
across
conditions
that
She
interviewed
the
Philadelphia,
Los
Angeles
commissions,
and
so
they
found
similar
patterns
right
that
different
groups
are
targeted
differently,
and
so
what
does
this
tell
us
that
one
intervention,
one
quote-unquote
solution,
will
not
actually
work
right.
E
There
needs
to
be
different
interventions
for
different
groups,
because
different
groups
are
systematically
targeted
differently,
so
I
wanted
to
go
over
the
data
limitations
because
all
data
is
limited
and
incomplete
in
Massachusetts
hate
crime
reporting
is
voluntary.
Although
there
is
a
bill,
that's
been
introduced
to
the
senate
in
March
2021
that
would
change
data
reporting
in
Massachusetts.
It
has
been
under
study
it's
now
approaching
two
years,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
there'll
be
movement
there
on
that
bill.
But
as
of
right
now,
hey
crime
reporting
by
law
enforcement
agencies
is
completely
voluntary.
E
Those
incidents
may
not
be
picked
up
in
these
databases
because
they're
not
might
not
be
a
hate
crime
classified
by
law
enforcement
and
then
hence
reported
to
the
FBI,
and
so
this
is
only
capturing
those
specific
specific
hate
crimes.
The
Boston
human
rights
intake
data
focuses
on
discrimination.
I
think
the
chairwoman
gave
a
great
explanation
about
why
that
is
in
the
historical
Legacy
Legacy
there,
and
so
that
data
has
not
been
part
of
this
overview,
because
the
focus
there
is
solely
solely
on
discrimination.
E
E
That
data
obviously
is
not
public
because
it
includes
students
names,
but
there
that
data
is
being
collected
somewhere
right
and
so
there's
data
being
collected
all
across
the
city
there's
just
just
not
not
being
centralized
somewhere,
and
so
we
don't
really
have
a
clear
understanding
about
the
full
holistic
picture
of
what
exactly
is
happening
on
our
in
our
city,
and
it
is
well
known.
I'm
I
know
this
from
lips
experience
and
research.
It
is
well
known
that
some
communities
are
more
likely
to
report
incidents
to
law
enforcement
than
others.
E
You
know,
if
you
imagine,
an
undocumented
family,
you
know
being
intimidated
by
a
neighbor
or
being
intimidated
by
a
stranger
off
the
street
right.
They
may
not
be
willing
to
go
and
then
report
report
that
hate
crime,
because
they
have
a
very
different
relationship
with
law
enforcement
may
not
feel
comfortable,
and
so
we
know
from
research
and
I'm
sure
we
can.
E
F
Thank
you.
Lilo
I
will
say
that
other
human
rights
Commissions
in
the
US
have
have
had
to
navigate
the
obstacles
leader
just
highlighted
for
getting
a
comprehensive
picture
of
how
hate
crimes
and
bias
incidents
unfold
in
their
cities.
But
what
have
they
done
to
overcome?
Data
limitations
in
the
reporting
of
hate
crimes
and
bias?
F
E
All
right,
I'll,
I'll
jump
in
and
try
to
do
it
justice,
although
I,
will
have
to
tell
you
I'm
more
confident
with
numbers
than
words,
but
I
will
I'll
try
to
do
Julius,
Julia,
slides,
Justice,
I.
Think
what
she
was
about
to
tell
us
is
that
none
of
these
jurisdictions
or
organizations
are
actually
required
or
mandated
to
send
the
LA
Community
commission
that
information.
Nevertheless,
the
commission
has
the
authority
to
demand
it
demand
it
from
them.
Should
they
should
they
want
it?
E
The
build
database
that
the
commissions
have
allows
to
track
measure
and
identify
hate
and
bias
patterns
by
neighborhood
and
group.
Again
they
collect
data,
so
they
can
see
the
full
picture
of
of
hate
crimes
within
within
their
their
City.
The
key
Insight
here
that
you
know
Talia
was
saying
in
Orange,
Chris
they'll
be
key
insights,
and
so
the
key
Insight
here
is
coordinating.
Reporting
efforts
across
relevant
agencies
and
non-profits
would
be
Paramount
for
setting
a
comprehensive
database
on
hate
crimes
and
bias.
E
E
E
The
Insight
here
is
creating
and
disseminating
hate
crimes.
Annual
reports
would
widely
help
the
Boston
Human
Rights
Commission
strengthen
its
Outreach
engagement
and
impact
among
Boston's
communities,
and
so
what
Tilia
found
was
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
commissions
across
the
country,
the
Philadelphia
and
the
Los
Angeles
commission,
their
data
Gathering.
Yes,
it's
important
for
the
data,
it's
important
for
the
analysis,
but
it's
also
a
tool
to
build
relationships
right
and
a
tool
to
make
sure
that
those
relationships
extend
any
network
across
across
the
city.
E
Crucially,
she
Tilly
also
found
setting
and
managing
the
database,
requires
the
commission
to
hold
staff
trainings
on
data
collection,
analysis
and
human
rights
and
so
making
sure
that
all
staff
understand
data
collection
methods
and
Analysis
methods
in
the
case
of
LA
county,
for
example,
the
dedicated
staff
systemized.
The
reports
in
the
database
analyzed
them
and
then
produce
the
annual
report,
and
so
the
staff
holds
both
great
knowledge
on
on
data
analysis.
E
Some
of
those
Partnerships
are
formalized
through
mousse
to
allow
for
data
sharing
right
and
so,
instead
of
what
we
you
saw
me
present
on
the
quantitative
data
that
all
came
from
the
FBI.
Instead
of
doing
that,
there
would
be
some
sharing
agreement
between
law
enforcement
agencies
and
and
the
commissions
the
commissions
also
hold
quarterly
meetings
with
Community
Partners
right
to
just
inform
them
like
this
meeting
we're
having
today,
but
more
regular
basis,
just
specifically
dedicated
to
to
hate
crimes
through
the
exchange
of
concerns
and
practices.
E
The
inside
here
is
in
order
to
strengthen
data
Gathering.
The
Boston
Human
Rights
Commission
would
need
to
build
and
nurture
long-term
relationships
across
agencies,
Boston
Public,
Schools,
non-profit
and
and
Community
Partners.
I.
Think.
The
running
theme
within
the
qualitative
findings
is
the
importance
of
having
that
holistic
picture
on
data.
The
importance
of
building
data
sharing
agreements
with
Community
Partners
and
the
importance
of
a
commission
building
and
nurturing
relationships
with
community
members,
and
so
this
brings
us
to
our
recommendations.
E
Data
on
hate
crimes
in
Boston
is
then
complete,
as
I
have
mentioned.
Yet
there's
a
clear
sense
that
certain
communities
and
groups
in
the
city
are
increasingly
being
targeted
by
hate-filled
violence,
I
think
councilor,
Flynn
and
chair
the
chairwoman
both
reflected
on
this
a
little
bit
an
agency
in
the
city
of
Boston
with
a
holistic
view
of
hate
field,
violence
could
not
be
identified.
So
that's
the
central
problem
here
is
that
we
couldn't
identify
an
agency
in
the
city
who
had
a
holistic
view
of
hate
field.
Violence.
E
The
Boston,
Human
Rights
Commission,
might
be
able
to
fill
this
Gap
by
implementing
a
modest
set
of
best
practices
already
at
work
and
other
human
rights
Commissions
in
the
city,
and
by
Modest
we
mean
that
they
are
easier
to
implement
they're,
not
easy
right,
but
they
are
easier
to
implement.
They
are
low
cost,
and
so
we
we
brainstormed
these
through
different
work.
That
Talia
was
doing
with
other
Commissions
in
my
quantitative
work.
E
First,
it's
establishing
data
sharing
Partnerships
with
law
enforcement
agencies
through
mous
again
just
formalizing.
That
relationship
making
sure
that
data
is
being
shared
across
across
agencies
establish
a
data
sharing
partnership
with
Boston
Public
Schools
through
mou,
as
I
reflected
on
earlier.
E
The
Boston
Public
Schools
thus
keep
track
of
data,
but
it
is
made
it
has
students
names,
and
so,
if
it
is
to
be
shared,
it
would
need
to
be
made
Anonymous
and
maybe
that
could
be
developed
through
a
relationship
with
Boston
Boston
Public
Schools
established
data
sharing,
Partnerships
of
public
and
private
higher
education
institutions
to
mlu.
As
we
all
know,
Boston
is
a
college
town
right.
E
A
lot
of
we
have
a
lot
of
students
here
and
universities
play
a
big
role
in
everyday
life
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
they
have
law
enforcement
agencies
of
their
own
right
and
some
of
them
report
to
the
FBI
others.
Don't
it
would
be
nice
to
again
if
they
were
part
of
this
holistic
picture
of
of
hate
crime,
reporting
established
data
sharing,
Partnerships
and
relevant.
Excuse
me
with
relevant
Community
organizations
and
non-profits
through
through
mous.
This
is
a
proven
strategy,
as
Talia
pointed
to
Across
the
other
commissions.
E
You
know
again
the
running
theme
that
I
want
to
keep
emphasizing.
Is
this
importance
of
building
relationship
to
get
that
holistic
view
of
what
data
is
being
collected
in
this
city,
because
the
data
is
all
there
right
and
so
we're
not
saying
collect
more
data?
The
data
is
there
it's
just
a
matter
of
centralizing
the
data,
so
we
understand
what's
really
happening,
build
and
nurture
long-term
relationships
with
Community
Partners
by
holding
quarterly
meetings
and
open
hearings
like
this
and
so
reporting
as
hate
crimes
come
in.
E
You
know,
as
we
get
more
data,
updating
the
community
updating
the
community
on
findings
that
could
really
be
a
pivotal
role
on
football
policy
makers
and
just
the
public
in
general
hire
staff
with
expertise
in
database
management,
analysis
and
human
rights
right
A
lot
of
times.
We
have
the
expertise
of
data
analysis,
but
we
don't
have
a
good
understanding
of
Human
Rights
or
vice
versa,
and
so
building
both
capabilities
of
staff
to
analyze
data
and
to
also
understand
human
rights,
Frameworks
and
finally,
compile
and
disseminate
an
annual
report
on
hate
field.
E
Violence
in
Boston
to
track
measure
and
identify
hate
and
biased
patterns
by
neighborhood
and
group.
This
is
a
common
practice
of
commissions
in
the
country,
but
in
order
to
do
this,
it
requires
data
sharing
right
to
some
degree
with
other
other
agencies
in
the
city.
So
that
is
our
recommendations.
I
just
want
to
pause
and
see.
If
chairwoman
do
you
have
anything
to
add
here.
G
Yeah
I'll
jump
in
here
how,
with
a
question
well,
first
of
all
just
saying
thank
you
I
it.
It
definitely
looks
like
a
lot
of
work
went
into
this,
and
so
you
know
really
appreciate
having
all
that
work.
You
explain.
It
show
the
visuals,
and
you
know
your
process
of
getting
that
and
and
where
the
gaps
are
because
I
think
that's
really
important
to
know
as
well.
G
I
think
one
initial
question,
just
with
the
data
for
me,
is
in
in
looking
at
other
commissions
and
the
collecting
of
data
from
all
these
different.
You
know,
entities
how
are
folks,
you
know,
I'm
guessing,
there's,
not
necessarily
uniformity
across
the
board,
with
all
these
different
entities
of
how
they
collect
that
data.
You
know
how
they're
labeling
certain
things
certain
communities
you
know.
E
School
committee
meetings,
bullying,
incidents
right.
How
do
we
incorporate
that
into
the
story?
We're
telling
about
hate
crimes
within
the
city,
and
so
the
data
is
being
collected
to
tell
a
holistic
story,
but
there
is
no
combination
of
data
right,
so
it's
not
being
analyzed
together.
It
is
being
kind
of
different
pieces
of
one
story,
it's
being
put
together
to
tell
one
cohesive,
cohesive
story.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
Does
it.
H
I
had
a
quick
question:
I
find
that
clearly
a
lot
of
the
recommendations,
all
of
which
are
very
meaningful,
have
come
down
to
communication
and
collecting
information
and
I
find
that
in
Boston
a
lot
of
times,
there's
a
lot
of
silos
and
a
lot
of
fiefdoms
when
it
comes
to
collecting
data
and
data
points,
and
we
don't
even
get
the
Linguistics
of
the
way
in
which
the
the
categories
are
described
but
just
collecting
them
so
with
in
a
proposal.
I
would
I'd
hope
that
we
could
not
just
articulate
the
places.
H
We
should
be
asking
and
standardize
the
ask
so
to
speak,
but
look
at
ways
which
the
commission,
if
need
be,
can
use
our
our
different
powers
to
get
that
to
emphasize
the
need
to
collect
that
that
up
either
through
a
subpoena
or
summons
or
whatever.
We
want
to
call
it.
But
we
start
articulating
the
questions
that
we
need
answered
in
such
a
way
so
that
each
one
is
independent
entities
has
the
same
framework
to
start
working
under
and
I.
H
Do
also
think
that
should
be
good
does
the
way
in
which
we
note
either
pushback
or
challenges
that
arise.
As
this
goes
forward,
because
I
do
think,
it's
appropriate
for
the
commission
to
highlight
such
challenges,
not
just
for
the
the
purpose
of
achieving
the
goal,
but
so
the
others
can
see
where
the
challenges
rest
as
we
open
up
this.
H
I
I
E
This
definitely
warrants
a
conversation
with
law
enforcement
about
how
data
data
reporting
is
being
done
in
the
city
and
then
a
comparison
to
how
it's
being
done
at
the
state
level,
but
I
think
it
would
require
us
to
just
get
one
more
year
to
see
if
this
is
going
to
continue
or
maybe
2020
is
just
not
a
full
data
set.
Yet.
I
Yeah
cool,
thank
you.
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
My
second
question
was
about.
There
was
a
graph
that
kind
of
Illustrated
reported
incidents
by
race
and
it
seemed
like
African
Americans
were
kind
of
separated
out
from
the
other
minority
groups
and
that
that
kind
of
doesn't
mess
with
what
seems
to
be
reflected
in
media
and
the
news,
and
just
wondering
how
how
to
how
to
reconcile
that.
E
Yeah
and
this
this
goes
back
to
why
we
need
other
data
right
and
like
why
we
can't
just
base
everything
on
this
on
this
data
from
law
enforcement
agencies.
Should
you
know,
maybe
there
are
some
communities
that
are
not
reporting
or
some
communities
stopped.
Reporting
I
think
is
something
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
talk
about
right.
We
talk
a
lot
about
communities
that
may
not
be
reporting,
but
we
don't
talk
about
communities
who
have
decided.
E
D
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
one
point:
maybe
I
represent
Chinatown
and
probably
the
largest
number
of
residents
living
in
public
housing,
so
in
in
Chinatown
in
the
South
End.
Obviously,
large,
aapi
community,
a
lot
and
I
have
and
I
have
a
wonderful
relationship
with
them,
but
a
lot
of
the
residents
are
have
been
bullied
or
intimidated
or
or
beat
up
Unfortunately.
D
They.
It
doesn't
get
reported
it's
unreported
and
some
of
it.
Some
of
it
is,
you,
know,
language,
language,
access,
language
and
communication
access
and
I
guess
that's.
My
point
is
the
other
City
departments
that
would
play
a
critical
role
if
you
guys
want
to
work
with
them
and
and
I
I
rep
I
mentioned
the
public
housing
residents
a
lot
of
communities
of
color
as
well
and
BHA
developments
and
I
know
a
lot
of
those
incidents.
Don't
get
reported
either.
D
So
so
a
couple
City
departments
that
might
be
critical,
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
advancement,
language
and
communication
access
in
in
the
BHA.
If,
if
you
guys
worked
closely
with
them,
because
I
I
would
I
would
bet,
they
would
have
some
good
good
good
ideas,
but
also
when
it's
budget
season
time
making
sure
that
we
have
appropriate
funds
for
language
and
communication
access
in
in
the
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
advancement
are
also
a
critical
part
of
this,
because
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
fully
funded
as
well
and
again.
G
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
actually
piggyback
on
what
counselor
Flynn
just
said
as
well
is
I,
wonder
if
you
know
on
the
list
of
recommendations.
I
know
I
didn't
see
this
at
the
moment,
but
wondering
besides
what
other
offices
within
the
city
within
the
city
can
do
to
kind
of
support.
Any
of
these
efforts
is
thinking
about.
G
You
know
what
what
laws
can
be
passed
in
ordinances
on
the
city
level
that
may
support
the
collecting
of
that
data,
the
uniformity
of
that
data
collaboration
Etc,
you
know
and
wondering
if
other
cities
haven't
done
anything
you
know
at
the
at
the
city
council
level
to
support
these
efforts.
So
this
is
not
just
resting
necessarily
on
the
Boston
on
the
human
rights
commissions,
to
try
to
figure
all
that
out
and
collect
that
data
and
analyze
it
on
their
own.
G
So
just
wondering
what
yeah
what
can
be
done
at
the
city
level,
in
addition
to
what
you
know,
councilor
Flynn
just
mentioned
as
well
and
I'll
just
make
one
last
comment,
which
is
yeah
and
I,
really
like
the
idea
of
partnering
with
community-based
organizations
and
and
and
thinking
through.
Who
would
some
of
those
Partners
be?
You
know
because
I
think
it's
easy
to
think
about
you.
You
know
the
different
police
departments
and
all
of
that
I
think
that's
what
most
of
the
data
was
based
upon.
C
Hi
again
Lilo,
how
are
you
good
to
see
you
again?
You
know,
I
came
in
I
had
a
hard
time
getting
into
the
meeting,
so
I
came
in
a
little
bit
late
into
the
presentation,
but
one
of
the
things
I
was
thinking
about
was
also.
Was
there
any
research
or
looking
into
when
you
were
doing
this
connection
in
terms
of
of
the
experiences
of
sort
of
like
hate
crimes,
while
folks
also
or
comparing
them
to
housing,
insecurity.
E
F
A
Yeah
I'm
gonna
give
myself
the
the
the
opportunity
to
jump
in
on
this
one
for
commissioner
paradising
in
the
public
in
general.
The
the
issue
is,
there
are
no
laws
that
mandate,
reporting
of
hate
crimes
or
hate
incidents,
and
so
there
are
no
laws.
There
are
no
state
laws,
there
are
no
local
laws.
The
only
Bill
that
is
in
one
in
Massachusetts
Lilo
referred
to
it
has
been
in
study
for
two
years.
There
is
no,
probably
probable
cost
for
hope
on
that.
One.
A
B
B
I
think
that
chair
room
in
the
last
point
you
had
made
about
exploring
because
I
think
what
stood
out
at
me
was
the
voluntary
part
of
it.
I.
Don't
understand
why
it's
voluntary,
but
I
think
that
somewhere
that
we
can
begin,
maybe
exploring
how
to
make
it
mandatory
and
just
what
can
we
do
to
kind
of
maybe
push
that
forward,
because
we
can't
come
up
with
some
sort
of
plan
of
action
or
solution
towards
any
kind
of
community.
B
If
we
don't
know
what's
happening,
and
we
don't
know
that
without
the
data
so
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
that
and
I
will
suggest-
maybe
maybe
in
the
next
meeting
or
I'll,
leave
it
up
for
conversation
but
kind
of
picking
apart
the
not
picking
a
part
looking
at
the
recommendations,
one
by
one
and
really
delving
into
okay.
What
community
organization
should
we
look
into
in
addition
to,
of
course,
the
city
of
Boston,
employee
departments,
which
are
fairly
easy
and
I?
B
The
past
and
immigrant
advancements,
literally
down
the
hall
for
me,
so
these
are
this-
is
fairly
easy.
I
think
the
Community
organization
part
is
really
something
to
think
through,
but
I
think
the
recommendations,
I
love,
how
clear
and
precise
they
were
and
I
think
that
if
we
take
each
one
and
kind
of
delve
into
it,
a
little
bit
more
I
would
really
like
to
see
done.
A
A
A
This
internship
will
continue
next
semester
and
at
that
point
it
would
be.
We
would
be
dealing
with
prevention
instead
of
reporting,
but
it
would
be
important
for
us
if
you
kind
of
help
us
think
through
is
there?
Are
there
things
missing?
Do
you?
Would
you
like
to
see
some
additional
work
on
some
area
or
another?
Within
our
possibilities?
We
will.
We
will
try
to
tackle
any
other
thing,
but
the
next
four
weeks
five
weeks
would
be
devoted
to
efforts
of
prevention
and
there's
no
data
on
that
either.
