Description
Boston Human Rights Commission Public Meeting 11.17.22
A
A
A
Oh
the
minutes,
the
I
I
made
a
couple
of
amends
to
the
agenda,
but
I
send
it
online.
So
I'm,
just
gonna
tell
people
here:
I
changed
the
number
of
meetings
from
three
to
two:
the
votes.
Sorry,
the
number
of
votes
and
and
I
asked
that
the
report
from
the
chair
and
the
report
from
the
executive
director
are
separated.
D
C
A
E
Sure,
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
joining
I,
have
a
relatively
brief
report,
so
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
that,
so
that
we
can
get
into
the
discussions
about
the
priorities
and
goals
so,
first
and
foremost
regarding
staff
trainings,
we
have
completed
the
mediation
training
that
I
spoke
about
in
the
last
meeting
and
we
have
also
completed
the
public
accommodation
discrimination,
trainings
training
offered
by
the
Massachusetts
commission
against
discrimination.
So
both
of
those
have
been
completed.
E
E
Well,
the
highlight
my
week
has
been
our
new
staff
member
started
this
week.
She
will
be
joining
us
momentarily
just
to
get
introduce
herself,
but
denisto
Santos
is
our
education.
Outreach
manager
and
I've
already
put
her
to
work,
but
thankfully
she's
happy,
so
she
did
start
this
week.
So
I
have
been
on
a
bargaining,
her
and
just
kind
of
getting
her
caught
up
on
what
we
have
so
far,
my
kind
of
Visions
with
future
projects
and
where
I
would
need
her
help.
E
So
unfortunately,
I
can't
share
anything,
and
it's
still
in
a
preliminary
discussions,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
this
is
something
they're
very,
very
interested
in
and
pushing
forward.
So
I
am
very
happy
about
that,
because
this
is
very
needed,
so
that's
kind
of
in
progress
just
meeting
with
them
still
Additionally.
The
anti-hate
campaign
is
still
in
progress
where
I'm
trying
to
further
develop
and
Define
it,
especially
now
with
Denise
coming
on
really
having
her
sit
down
to
okay.
What
is
a
feasible
timeline.
Look
like
for
this.
E
So
there's
the
research
component
of
it,
where
we
have
our
interns
who
are
in
the
next
meeting,
will
be
providing
presentations
on
their
research
that
they've
been
doing
regarding
antip,
so
there's
a
research
component
of
this
campaign,
the
Outreach
is
going
to
be
more
of
the
resource
guide.
Can
we
put
a
list
of
resources
together
because
we
have
seen
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
I'm
getting
from
individuals
is?
E
F
E
Like
what
else
do
we
need
like?
What
else
could
we
do
to
really
bring
awareness
to
like
your
rights
and
what
can
come
after
that
and
then
the
education
portion
of
it,
so
the
education
portion
of
it
is
literally
doing
a
know,
your
rights
training,
so
that's,
for
example,
like
I
said
in
the
in
the
last
meeting,
I
have
solidified
an
educational
kind
of
partnership
with
U.S
attorney
Rachel
Rollins
office.
She
currently
has
a
presentation
defining
what
a
hate
crime
is.
E
What
a
hate
incident
is
how
that
differs
from
discrimination
and
then
the
best
way
I
can
describe
it
is
give
it
an
example.
So
one
of
the
areas
that
I
want
to
get
into
is
senior
centers
so,
first
and
foremost
reaching
out
to
the
age
strong
commission
here,
Emily
Shea,
who
leads
the
age
strong
commission
here,
seeing
which
Senior
Center
will
be
best
to
provide
a
training
session
too.
E
How
would
that
training
look
like?
Does
it?
Is
it
in
person?
Is
it
virtual
and
then
having
a
targeted
presentation?
So
while
we
give
the
definition
of
a
hate,
crime,
I
hate
incident,
discrimination
also
giving
a
training
on
frauds
against
seniors
and
then
using
that
same
format
in
different
areas,
so
whether
that
so
I've
come
up
with
four
so
face:
Center,
High,
School,
senior,
centers
and
Veterans
centers.
E
Those
are
the
ones
I've
identified
right
now,
so
now
I'm
just
kind
of
in
the
process
of
okay,
so
for
the
senior
center
I've
solidified
that
with
the
U.S
attorney's
office,
what
about
face
centers
like
reaching
out
to
the
faith
liaison
we
have
here
in
the
city
to
figure
out
where
exactly
it
should
be
held?
What
organization
maybe
has
like
a
specific
presentation
or
kind
of
educational?
E
Know
your
rights
kind
of
teaching
and
that's
where
the
education
part
of
it
comes
so
research,
Outreach
and
education.
So
now
it
just
comes
into
really
solidifying
a
timeline,
so
my
goal
and
hope
is
to
start
them
in
January,
and
then
it
just
comes
into
okay.
Do
we
do
one
a
month?
Do
we
do
two
a
month?
E
What
are
the
training
sessions?
Look
like?
Are
we
able
to
have
resource
tables
at
the
training,
so
organizations
in
common
show
their
resources,
so
that's
kind
of
my
thought
process
and
what's
I've
been
working
through
and
with
Denise
coming
on
now,
working
with
her
together
on
really
solidifying
and
formalizing
that
plans?
D
I
was
wondering
Susie
if
you
are
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
groups
like
Fenway,
Community,
Health
and
other
organizations
and
offering
these
services
to
them.
I
think
it's
great
offering
it
at
senior
services
centers,
but
I.
Think
that
perhaps
if
we
offer
it
to
a
different
community-based
organizations
that
could
act,
probably
Reach
people
that
wouldn't
ordinarily
come
to
a
meeting.
E
Absolutely
and
I
don't
know
if
I
said
it,
but
the
educational
training
sessions
are
open
to
the
public.
So
you
don't
have
to
be
a
senior
to
come
to
this
training,
but
I
am
trying
to
make
sure
that
I'm
very
intentional
about
the
training
session,
so
making
sure
I,
I
kind
of
like
hid
it
from
every
angle.
I
can
when
it
comes
to
anti-hate,
so
I
do
want
to
hit
it
from
some
sort
of
like
Health
angle,
but
what
that
looks
like
I'm,
not
sure,
but
I
am
working.
E
E
D
B
I
was
just
going
to
jump
into
piggyback
on
that,
and
then
this
might
have
been
partly
what
you
already
met,
and
so
apologies,
if
I'm,
if
I'm,
repeating
anything
I
thought
in
addition,
also
to
like
who
should
be
on
the
other
side
of
these
presentations
like
listening
into
them
about
resources,
is
thinking
about.
Who
else
should
be
part
of
the
actual
presentation
as
well?
B
Just
you
know,
I
think
I've
mentioned
this
a
few
times
and
sorry
I'm
gonna,
probably
harp
on
it.
You
know
several
times
is
just
being
careful
and
US
centering
law
enforcement.
In
some
of
these
conversations
you
know
again,
especially
you
know,
I
work
with
immigrant
communities,
and
you
know
it's
it's
just
it
could
be.
It
could
also
turn
people
off
from
showing
up
to
some
of
these
spaces
if
that's
who's,
leading
or
centering.
B
Some
of
these
conversations
and
I
know
we're
talking
about
you
know:
crime
versus
you
know
discrimination,
and
so
we
might
have
to
think
like
creatively
of
what
that
would
look
like,
but
but
we
may
want
to
at
least
give
some
thought
to
that.
And
now,
like
you,
said
that
we
have
someone
hired
in
the
offices
to
support
those
efforts,
maybe
think
creatively
of
what
are
what
are
some
Community
groups
out
there
who
are
addressing
some
of
this?
C
B
G
Yeah
I
just
had
a
quick
question
about
the
outcomes
or
the
results
of
the
Outreach
and
the
research
and
the
education
component.
Do
you
have
kind
of
a
Clarity
around
what
the
results
the
intended
results
are,
and
if
so,
could
you
use
that
I've
used
the
logic
model
as
a
way
to
kind
of
develop
programming
or
new
strategies,
and
it
can
directly
tie
the
outcomes
to
the
activities
just
just
wondering
if
that's
something
that
you've
used
or
if
that's
the
tool
that
I
can
offer.
E
Definitely
a
tool
you
can
offer
I'm
more
coming
at
it
from
like
the
research
is
to
bring
awareness
to
the
numbers
to
the
data
where
the,
where
is
there
Under
reporting?
Where
is
where?
Are
we
missing,
like
the
gaps
in
the
data?
The
education
part
of
it
is
strictly
a
trying
to
teach
residents
what
their
rights
are
and,
like
that's
like
the
simplest
way.
I
can
put
it
because
again,
I'm
running
into
too
many
individuals
that
I'm
having
to
explain
to
them.
E
What's
a
crime
and
what's
an
incident
and
how
like
a
hate,
crime
is
different
from
like
a
discrimination
and
then
what
their
resources
are.
After
that
and
I
think
that's
where
I'm
coming
from
the
no.
You
need
to
know
your
rights
so
that
you
can
Empower
yourself
to
stand
up
for
yourself
and
not
just
to
rely
on.
Oh
I
only
thought
it
was
9-1-1.
Oh
I
only
thought
I
could
get
an
attorney
because
those
are
not
the
only
resources.
G
D
You
I
think
commissioner
Evan
Evans
makes
a
very
good
point
if
we're.
If
we're
doing
this,
it
would
be
interesting
to
ask
people
if,
if
we're
seeing
an
uptick
and
people
reporting
things
to
us
where
they
heard
about
it,
and
then
we
can
see
if
the
Outreach
efforts
are
working
if
they
came
to
a
workshop,
but
now
they
know
to
report
it
to
us.
It
would
be
very
good
data
to
have
to
see
what
impact
we're
making.
E
D
E
E
I'm
just
going
to
interject
for
a
second
just
because
Denise
is
on
the
call
and
I
would
like
her
to
introduce
herself
a
little
bit
because
again,
I'm
super
excited
and
I
know.
She
probably
is
already
annoyed
with
me
on
week.
One
but
I
am
very
excited.
I
just
want
her
to
get
a
chance
to
introduce
her.
F
E
H
It's
my
like
a
lot
of
demographics
within
the
city,
don't
know
about
them,
so
I
do
come
from
that
Outreach
background
and,
like
commissioner
Evans
mentioned
like
as
far
as
tracking
a
metric
in
some
way,
which
does
like
make
perfect
sense.
So
then
you
kind
of
know
like
okay.
This
is
what
what's
working
for
us
or,
what's
not
so
I
am
excited
to
just
work
with
Susie
on
like
this
and
you
guys
as
a
whole,
just
to
kind
of
get
the
information
out
to
the
neighborhood
really.
E
A
A
My
report
is
going
to
be
brief,
because
I
think
the
most
important
part
today
is
that
we
discuss
the
goals
before
doing
that,
I'm
going
to
acknowledge
that
I
see
somebody
from
opat
and
as
our
attendee
and
I
appreciate
that
interest
in
very
quickly.
Several
of
us
attended
an
open
Forum
on
Monday,
the
Monday
of
this
this
week
on
hate
crimes
and
identity
based
attacks
in
the
city
of
Boston.
A
It
was
well
attended.
We
had
a
nice
presence,
we
listened
and
took
many
notes,
and
it
made
it
clear
to
me
that
it
is
especially
important
that
individual
Commissioners
go
into
the
community
as
Commissioners.
Listen
as
Commissioners
and
report
back
to
us
as
a
group
that
it's
not
necessarily
enough
to
hear
from
City
Hall,
although
it's
very,
very
important
or
it's
not
necessarily
enough
to
hear
from
Boston
Police
Department.
Although
it
is
important.
A
A
The
work
of
the
my
last
point,
the
work
of
the
entrance,
is
going
very
well.
We
will
be
presenting
in
December
and
the
presentation
will
have
both
data
and
recommendations
for
discussions
and
possibly
for
a
recommendations
by
the
commissions
to
City
Hall
regarding
paid
incidents
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
let's,
let's
go
on
with
our
discussion,
so
we
can
then
on
in
next
month's
deal
with
the
research
that
without
that
research,
it's
really
not
possible
to
start
making
policy
recommendations.
A
B
A
B
F
D
E
Would
be
the
city
council
nurse,
so
I
will
say:
I
did
not
know
about
the
filing
yeah,
because
I
haven't
received
notice
of
it,
but
the
kind
of
process
with
it
is
they
will
file
a
hearing
or
an
ordinance
like
this
I
become
notified
of
the
date
and
then
it
isn't
open
hearing
where
they
discuss
it,
which
I
will
obviously
all
share
share
with
you
all.
If
you
want
to
come
option
and
provide
testimony,
but
I
have
not
been
notified
yet
or
I
might
have
missed
it.
E
A
D
Sure
I
just
wanted
to
two
two
separate
things:
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
recent
grants
that
were
awarded
as
You.
Probably
all
know
that
the
digital
divide
was
the
commission's
number
one
priority.
When
we
were
first
reconstituted
and
we
we
we,
we
did
us,
we
did
studies
about
the
issues
of
disparity
and
access
to
computers
and
internet
between
the
different
neighborhoods
of
Boston.
D
And
then
we
had
you
know
we
had
a
great
PhD
candidate
from
UMass
Boston
who
conducted
research
and
produced
reports
which
and
laid
out
the
difference
in
the
disparities
in
the
level
of
broadband
speed
between
different
neighborhoods
in
the
city
and
other
things.
Well,
recently,
Comcast
announced
that
it
will
invest
more
than
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
Grants
to
17
organizations.
D
Any
of
us
I.
Don't
think
that
that
more
than
65
of
the
survey
respondents
said
they
obtained
internet
access
or
a
computer
at
home,
and
it
it
once
they
had
the
these
Navigators
it.
The
amount
of
increase
to
that
among
Hispanic
and
black
Americans
was
72
percent
and
almost
half
of
those
surveyed
so
that
they
obtained
Better
Health
Care.
They
had
received
support
with
their
basic
needs,
such
as
food,
rent
or
housing
in
one
in
three,
had
found
a
new
job
or
earned
a
higher
income.
D
So
it
just
points
out
the
impact
of
what
can
be
accomplished
and
then,
in
addition,
Tech
goes
home
received
a
another
Grant
from
the
Patrick
McGovern
Foundation
and
that
that
will
help
more
of
their
participants
actually
obtain
a
computer,
and
it
also
they'll
use
some
of
that
funding
to
evaluate
their
programs.
So
I
thought
that
was
very
exciting
news.
A
F
D
And
the
other
thing,
if,
if
I,
if
you
will
indulge
me,
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
November
is
trans
awareness
month
and
I
think
it
is
extremely
important
that
the
Human
Rights
Commission
not
only
acknowledged
this,
but
for
us
to
develop
a
more
robust
response
to
incidents
of
hate
that
occur
in
the
city,
including
Outreach,
to
victims.
You
may
or
may
not
know
that
on
November
8th,
an
employee
at
Oola
Cafe,
which
is
in
Jamaica
Plain,
was
a
target
of
transphobic
hate.
D
An
individual
went
into
the
establishment
and
verbally
assaulted
her,
and
then
this
just
on
Wednesday.
Once
again,
bomb
threats
were
made
against
Children's
Hospitals
programs
for
transgender
Youth
and
alleged
Bonds
were
placed
at
the
homes
of
three
doctors,
and
you
know
in
transgender
the
non-confo
non-gender.
I
Just
to
add
to
what
the
commissioner
was
saying,
there
is
a
vigil
that
happens.
You
know
every
every
trans
day
of
remembrance
and
it
will
be
held
on
this
Sunday
at
the
First
Baptist
Church
in
Jamaica
playing
at
two
o'clock.
So
if
anyone
would
like
to
attend,
I
will
be
in
attendance
again.
That's
the
First
Baptist
Church
in
Jamaica
Plain,
it's
on
Center
Street,.
I
D
A
A
B
A
B
I
can
I
make
a
an
added
statement
to
that
is,
if
possible,
maybe
including
an
invitation
in
that
letter
for
those
organizations
or
groups
that
would
like
to
connect
or
partner
with
the
Muslim
Human
Rights
Commission.
That
way,
there's
like
a
little
bit
of
an
potential
action
item
that
comes
out
of
it.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
commissioner
Russo.
If
there
is
nothing
else,
we
can
pass
to
the
the
discussion
of
our
tentative
goals
for
the
year.
That
starts
in
January
and
in
the
minutes
we
circulated
my
notes
on
the
meeting,
and
it
appeared
from
my
notes
that
they
were
potentially
for
goals
or
for
items
to
discuss.
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
what
I
I've
cleaned
them
up
a
little
bit
and
hopefully
made
them
a
little
more
appealing
or
clear.
F
A
A
If
you
can
read-
and
we
can
discuss
one
by
one
if
you
would
like
to-
or
we
can
discuss
them
all
of
them,
these
are
the
four
issues
that
came
out
of
our
conversations
in
September
October,
one
was
recommendations
on
hate
crimes
and
biased
incidents,
and
this
was
mainly
is
already
going
on
with
the
research
that
the
the
interns
are
carrying
on
and
it
will.
It
will
end
up
by
a
with
a
series
of
recommendations
from
the
entrance
on
myself
in
two
groups,
one
in
December
and
one
in
May.
A
Our
actions
as
individuals
who
choose
to
be
active
in
the
communities
and
as
a
part
of
the
Human
Rights
Commission,
the
I
I
guess
I
have
two
number
ones
and
one
number
two.
So
this
will
be
number
three
number
two
that
is
number
three
money
continue:
monitoring,
Boston
police
reform
and
the
last
one
number
four
would
be
the
EU
visas,
which
was
an
item
that
commissioner
Paredes
brought
up.
A
D
Well,
I
certainly
think
after
attending
the
meeting
the
other
night
that
goal
number
two
is
extremely
important
during
during
that
meeting,
people
were
unaware
that
there
was
a
Human
Rights
Commission.
They
were
unaware
that
you
there
was
a
a
way
that
they
could
report
hate
crimes
not
to
the
police,
but
to
the
Human,
Rights,
Commission
and
I.
Think
it
it's
I'm
very
glad
that
Denise
has
joined
us,
because
we
really
need
to
be
more
present
at
meetings
that
are
happening
and
also
I.
A
I've
had
the
same
issue
with
the
car
that
I've
been
asked,
I
think
in
this
case
it
would
be
not
only
that
we
are
informed
as
a
group
that
there
is
an
event
such
as
tonight,
but
also
that
we
know
that
there
is
such
an
event
in
the
us
as
individuals
and
we
go,
and
then
we
come
back
and
Report
to
the
commission
about
what
incident
or
what
event
what
Forum,
which
group
we
connected
with
what
are
their
needs?
What
did
we
hear
from
that?
Did
they
know
us?
A
G
This
looks
really
good
I
think
it
definitely
reflects
our
conversations
and
yeah
I
just
appreciate
your
incorporating
some
of
the
new
things
that
that
came
up
last
time,
particularly
around
immigration.
That
commissioner
Perez
brought
up
is
the
idea
that
we're
I
mean
number
two
definitely
feels
like
something
we
should
all
kind
of
be
advancing.
Is
the
idea
that
we
kind
of
divide
the
other
ones
up,
or
are
we
all
kind
of
working
unanimously
on
on
all
of
the
of
the
goals
to
advance
them?
Just
wondering.
A
F
A
A
You
know
they
were
very
new
and
they
didn't
have
enough
members
and
so
I'm
sure
there
is
a
lot
of
updates.
In
fact,
I
read
there
I
read
their
report
for
this
year
for
2022
and
in
their
report
they
mentioned
that
they
are
going
to
be
working
with
us,
but
I.
Don't
recall
us
ever
talking
to
them
about
that.
So
I
I'm
not
sure
about
that
one,
but
they
have
the
intent
to
reach
out.
A
B
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
with
that
too,
because
I
I
I'm
curious
to
hear
everyone
else's
thought
on
this
I
did
throw
it
out
there
as
an
you
know,
idea
last
time
and
said
that
I'm
willing
to
kind
of
start.
Looking
into
that-
and
you
know
I've
kind
of
started
that
process
having
some
communication
with
folks
and
so
I
hope
to
have
more
of
an
update
on
that.
There
are
commissions,
you
know.
One
of
them
was
in
the
report.
B
You
know
that
that
you
all
put
together
I
think
last
year
in
New,
York
and
I
had
heard
potentially
about
another
one
I
think
out
of
Chicago
as
well
so
I'm
trying
to
get
more
details,
so
I
could
come
back
and
and
then
also
review
our
mandate.
You
know
and
review
kind
of
where
the
new
law
that
was
passed
I
believe
last
year
around
you,
Visa,
certifications
in
Massachusetts.
Is
that
and
just
see
you
know
what
what
opportunities
are
there?
B
But
you
know,
one
thing:
I
want
to
say
is
obviously
this
U
Visa
one
is
pretty
specific
right,
and
so
a
lot
of
it
depends
on
whether
it's
possible
to
do
something
like
this
or
if
it
would
be
a
longer
process
of
having
to,
for
example,
to
change
our
mandate
or
to
grow.
As
you
know,
an
office
or
commission
Etc.
So
one
other
idea,
I
wanted
to
put
out
there
as
well
was
do
folks.
B
I
guess
think
that
this
is
I,
wanted
I,
think
it's
it's
good
that
it's
narrow,
because
it's
something
more
feasible
right.
We
could
say
like
okay,
this
is
the
goal,
and
you
know
by
the
end
of
you
know
next
year,
how
far
along?
Are
we
in
accomplishing
that?
But
on
the
other
end,
you
know,
there's
other
possibilities
too.
That
I
was
I,
guess
brainstorming
about
one
of
those
was
around
exploring
where
things
stand
in
terms
of
Municipal
voting
for
immigrants
with
you
know,
different
statuses,
I,
think
and
then
related
to.
B
E
If
I
may
offer
a
suggestion,
it's
seems
like
I
I
do
agree
that
I
love
the
specific,
the
fourth,
the
U
Visa
goal
being
very
specific,
but
I
do
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
kind
of
like
questions
around,
like
you
said
like
in
our
ordinance.
Does
it
allow
us
to
do
it?
What
does
it
look
like?
What
is
the
process
more
getting
into
like?
What
are
you
Visa
is
and
for
the
Boston
monitoring
the
Boston
police
reform?
A
Well,
I
I'd
like
to
Chum
in
a
little
bit,
I,
don't
mind
either
way,
but
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
are
independent
from
City
Hall.
So
I
understand
that
we
need
to
talk
to
opat
for
to
know
the
what
their
progress
is
and
that
we
can
collaborate,
but
I
also
think
that,
as
an
independent
body,
we
have
every
right
to
continue
monitoring.
Boston
Police
Department
as
we
feed
I,
do
not
know
that
we
need
to
do
it.
I
didn't
bring
this
up.
There
were
other
Commissioners
were
interested.
A
So
in
the
interest
of
clarity,
the
ordinance
doesn't
say
anything
about
us
not
being
not
being
able
to
address
number
three
or
number
four.
We
are
to
work
on
human
rights
and
issues
of
some
issues
of
hate
reporting
will
be
touching
on
Boston
police
reform
so
either
way,
I
think
we're
going
to
find
that
we
have
to
deal
with
Boston
Police
Department
issues,
and
we
shouldn't
be
afraid.
We
should
not
be
afraid
of
doing
that.
A
B
I
just
had
one
clarifying
point
in
the
UVC
stuff
and
then
you
know
I
want
to
hear
from
others,
but
the
reason
I
also
thought
about
those
other
ideas
was
because,
just
upon
first
impression
of
reading
the
the
the
Mandate
for
this
commission,
it
seems
like
there's
residency
requirements
and
voting
requirements
to
be
part
of
this.
Commission.
I
assume
that's
the
same
for
most
commissions
across
the
city,
and
so
that
excludes.
F
B
G
Interested
in
police
reform,
I
mean
I,
I,
definitely
I
feel
like
one
and
two
are
a
little
bit
more
straightforward.
So
I
see
that
what
I
hear
is.
Maybe
we
need
a
little
bit
more
information
on
three
and
four
before
we
can
commit
to
it
and
I
mean
if
there's
this
other.
What
does
oh
I
have
a
question
about
what
OPAC
said
for
obviously
I
can
look
it
up,
but
if
there's
another
agency
doing
this
work,
it
makes
sense
to
coordinate
just
so
we're
not
duplicating
efforts
but
to
Mountain
challenge.
G
D
I
I
also
I
think
that
one
in
two,
if
we
do
them
correctly,
is
going
to
give
us
a
lot
more
work
to
do.
Shall
I
say
because
it
it
could,
it
could
open
up
more
opportunity.
Let
me
put
it
that
way:
more
opportunities
for
us
and
I
guess
just
a
realistic
goal
of
how
much
how
much
time
and-
and
you
know
it
is
it
is
a
small
staffed,
commission
and
and
so
I
think
other
things
might
be
revealed
to
us.
D
D
We
should
not
leave
that
alone
that
we
should
all
keep
our
eyes
on.
What's
going
on
and
making
sure
that
new
that
they're
doing
what
they
said,
they
were
doing
in
new
patterns
and
not
emerging
I'm
concerned
with
what,
if
all
of
a
sudden
more
people
getting
pulled
over
that
are
immigrants,
because
now
they
can
have
driver's
license
so
I
want
to.
You
know,
keep
our
eyes
on
those
things.
Also,.
C
And
I
I
would
just
chime
in
on
this
point
also
that,
while
they've
created
an
office
for
accountability,
I
think
sometimes
there's
always
a
question
of
how
the
real
world
and
politics
Collide
and
the
outcome.
What
that's
going
to
be
but
I,
feel
our
role
of
being
an
outside
commission
is
a
standalone
and
should
always
have
the
ability
to
investigate
and
follow
up.
C
Furthermore,
I
think
that
they're
they're,
as
we
do
more
Outreach
and
engagement
there
should
be
a
way
in
which
we
can
be
an
intake
for
for
members
of
the
community,
and
I
mean
that
in
the
largest
context
to
have
concerns
about
the
police
department
that
we
that
we
can
not
just
bring
to
their
internal
intention.
But
for
that
we
can
have
a
role
in
looking
at
as
again
as
an
outside
piece
and
I
am
concerned,
and
I
do
follow
a
lot
of
concern.
C
I
gave
him
a
heads
up
that
we
are
looking
forward
to
engaging
with
him,
because
there's
a
lot
of
questions.
I
think
that
we
have
about
some
of
the
stuff
that
happened
over
the
summer
while
it
was
before
his
watch.
So
he
definitely
there's
an
expectation
that
there
should
be
some
ability
to
articulate
where
the
ball
was
dropped
and
as
we're
seeing
that
this
is
going
to
be
coming.
An
ongoing
issue.
C
I
think
that
they
should
speak
in
a
public
form
and
that
can
be
us
or
a
hearing
or
whatnot
to
discuss
that
more
in
in
depth.
So
again,
I
do
I'm
very
concerned.
If
we
ever
tried
to
push
back
or
drop
our
our
usurp.
The
authority
to
to
investigate
them
now,
there's
a
separate
office
that
again
is
still
new
and
still
kind
of
unproven
and
such
so
just
a
concern
that
I
wanted
to
raise.
I
I'm,
looking
at
this
and
I'm
I'm
in
support
of
every
single
one
of
these,
so
you
can
definitely
I'm
behind.
All
of
this
absolutely
I
think
it
is
definitely
important
for
us
to
continue
to
be
monitoring
police
reform,
police
reform.
For
exactly
the
reasons
the
commissioner
mentioned
and
also
thinking
about
you
know
like
us
being
a
resource
for
the
community.
Even
though
opat
exists,
how
would
the
community
really
trust
I?
I
A
C
So
if
we
start
looking
at
a
framework
so
that
we
can,
we
can
deal
with
multiple
items
as
we're
moving
along
conceptually
in
the
same
time
frame
so
that
we're
not
slowing
down
our
important
agenda.
Our
work
because
of
logistics,
so
I
think
that
this
gives
us
a
very
good
framework
to
start
saying:
okay,
January
we're
going
to
have
a
hearing
on
number
two
February
we're
going
to
have
number
one.
We
you
know
boom
boom
boom
boom
and
we
can
have
meetings
and
planning
and
such
around
that
conceptual
framework.
A
F
A
A
So,
don't
don't
worry,
commissioner,
the
these
would
be
for
the
year,
so
it's
not,
it
would
be
for
the
year.
So
we
would
we
would
go
December.
We
we
already
have
the
entrance
presenting
and
then
in
the
in
the
previous
in
the
next
few
months
we
can
do
more
number,
the
last
the
last
the
last
item,
the
U
Visa
exported
as
exploring
the
possibility.
A
A
E
A
Okay,
so
if
there
is
nothing
else,
thank
you
so
very
much.
We,
it
is
606
when
we
are
closing
the
the
meeting.
Thank
you
very
much
remember
there
is
the
an
event
at
2PM
on
Sunday
in
JP,
Baptist
Church,
and
if
you
know
of
other
events
or
you
think
we
should
go,
please
pass
the
events
to
Susie
or
to
me
I'll,
be
very
happy
to
attend
as
many
meetings
as
I
possibly
can
and
connect
with
people.
E
E
But
I
will
definitely
look
into
that
and
get
back
to
you
and
then
just
to
flag
for
everyone.
Our
next
meeting
is
set
for
