From YouTube: Resiliency Strategy Launch
Description
Resiliency is the ability to bounce back in the face of obstacles and adversity. Boston's Resiliency Strategy aims to break down those obstacles. In Roxbury, Mayor Walsh, in partnership with 100 Resilient Cities, offers remarks at the launch of the plan which aims to address the barriers of racism in our city.
A
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
all
of
you
for
being
here
with
us
today.
This
has
been
a
very
special
process
to
be
a
part
of.
This
has
been
a
very
special
time
for
us
in
Boston,
under
the
leadership
of
Mayor
mark
and
Jane
Walsh,
we
have
put
together
the
City
of
Austin
part
of
our
resilience
strategy.
Can
we
get
some
love
for
that.
A
So
what
is
amazing
is
how
many
people
came
together
to
help
with
the
strategy
together
and
I
will
not
go
into
the
details
now,
because
I
am
just
getting
everyone's
attention
to
sit
down
so
that
we
can
kick
off
the
full
program.
You'll
see
you
later
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
later.
Don't
know
I
love
it
all,
but
not
now.
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
the
leadership
of
Mayor
Martin
J
Walsh.
Thank
you

the
worship
of
the
president
of
100
resilient
cities
like
the
purple.
A
Ridge
will
equip
us
here
today.
We
went
from
New
York.
Thank
you,
Otis
rollin,

also
fluids
from
New
York,

whole
100
resilient
cities
team

We
also
have
other
folks
with
comments
possible
to
be
with
us.
Today
we
have
representation
from
the
National
League
of
Cities,
great
equity
and
leadership
programs.
A
Here
with
us,
we
also
have
representation
from
the
New
Jersey
Institute
of
Technology
their
program
that
focuses
on
making
sure
that
we
take
care
of
our
brownfield
sites
in
sitting
across
the
country
that
we
have
representation
from
there
as
well
from
a
number
of
local
partners
here
with
requirements,
process.
Isolation
to
everyone
and
I
would
love
to
have
to
take
this
off
there.
So
your.
B
Yeah
and
I
won
a
while.
This
is
right
for
the
re
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
devotion
into
achieving
racial
equity
in
our
city
and
I
want
to
thank
your
staff
as
well.
We
had,
via
this
conversation,
this
journey,
who
began
we're
trying
to
pick
up
chief
resiliency
officer
in
the
City
of
Austin
and
I
kind
of
had
my
attention
set
up
somebody
a
couple
different
people
and
I
didn't
know
dark
come
on.
B
She
did
work
for
Public
Health,
Commission
I
knew
who
she
was
letting
on
and
she
came
in
and
she
do
with
us
and
I
was
like
whoa
after
she
left
and
I
am
a
member,
don't
say
situation
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
You
staff,
be
a
commitment
and
dedication
get
this
points
not
easy.
A
lot
of
conversations,
a
lot
of
dialogues,
a
lot
of
people
talk
a
lot
of
curveballs,
but
we
here
today
so
thank
you.
B
Michael
I
noticed
in
every
100
resilient
cities
in
Rockefeller.
Thank
you
for
your
support
as
well
in
your
flexibility
in
where
we
are
today.
This
is
a
historically
for
the
city
of
Boston.
We
have
big
positive
changes
that
are
going
to
happen
in
the
years
to
come.
Well,
people
look
back
you're
going
to
look
back
on
this
week
as
a
turning
point
in
our
city
on
Tuesday.
B
We
want
to
imagine
Boston,
2030,
Rebecca
Emanuel,
the
directors
here,
the
first
citywide
plane
in
over
50
years,
we've
launched
down
on
Tuesday
instead
of
being
downtown
and
being
economic
plan.
It's
a
plan
for
equity
across
every
single
part
of
our
city.
On
every
single
issue,
we
launched
the
plan
and
up
its
corner,
endorsed
that
the
show
that
this
plan
is
really
about
about
making
we
a
reality
of
what
we
want
to
do
to
that
plan
by
using
the
equity
lens
in
our
capital
budget
using
the
equity
lens.
B
When
you
think
about
the
plans
in
this
talk
of
something
only
edited,
you
know,
thank
you
for
your
micromachines.
Thank
you
for
your
pens
and
paper
today.
What
about
talking
about
resiliency
claim
today?
It's
all
wrapped
within
the
same
idea,
looking
through
the
lens
of
witty
as
how
we
think
about
the
future.
I
see
something.
That's
really
important
that
equity
land
was
informed
by
expanding
our
resilience
strategy.
This
conversation
has
already
changed.
How
we
do
things.
B
I
was
asked
everybody
report
up.
What
do
you
want
out
of
this?
This
is
not
what
I
want
out
of
this
and
I
want
everyone
to
understand
that
this
is
not
about
money
wealth.
This
plan
is
not
about
me.
This
plan
is
about
Foxton
Massachusetts.
This
plan
is
about
the
future
of
our
city.
This
plan
is
about
dealing
with
the
challenges
and
the
problems
of
the
past,
and
how
do
we
change
it
for
the
future?
That's
what
this
plan
is
all
about
only
apply
400
million
cities.
B
Our
core
belief
was
that
resilience
lives
in
the
strength
of
our
social
fabric,
and
the
strength
depends
on
achieving
racial
equity.
Rachel
Rachel
equity
is
a
matter
of
justice.
It's
our
responsibility
in
government
to
work
for
it.
It's
not
modern
washes
responsibility
to
work
for
it.
It's
our
responsibility
in
government
to
work
for
it.
That's
what
we
have
to
do,
because
it
can't
be
one
person
it
has
to
be
all
of
us
working
together.
It
also
promises
tremendous
benefits
for
our
city.
B
The
economic
benefits
with
a
stronger
workforce
and
more
innovators,
our
cultural
benefits
as
people
learn
from
each
other
and
become
more
creative.
Our
civic
life
benefit
as
we
build
trust
and
are
better
able
to
achieve
consensus.
Diversity
is
a
strength,
but
only
if
you
have
equity
equity,
equitable
cities
are
stronger
cities.
We
applied
for
this
grant
in
2014,
but
the
story,
while
widely
applied
goes
back
even
earlier
starting
this
administration.
We
knew
that
Boston
was
long
overdue.
B
B
B
C
B
You
have
to
deal
with
the
present,
but
eventually
you
have
to
deal
with
the
wreckage
of
the
past
if
it
works
in
recovery
and
it
works
in
trauma.
Of
course,
it's
going
to
work
when
you
talk
about
healing
in
entire
community
fussing
with
the
flashpoint,
but
the
problem
was
deeper.
We
start
to
look
at
housing
discrimination.
We
start
to
know,
look
at
it.
We
heard
about
housing,
discrimination,
job
discrimination,
unequal
schools,
people
were
separated
by
each
other
by
race,
all
across
America
generation
after
generation.
B
B
We
look
at
the
violence
on
our
streets
that
some
of
that
the
symptom
it's
a
terrible
system
with
its
own
cycle
of
trauma.
It
has
deeper
roots
and
a
deeper
kind
of
violence,
a
structural
violence.
That's
why
we're
talking
about
so
many
issues.
When
we
talk
about
ending
the
violence
about
youth
services
and
probably
a
public-health
I
laugh.
Sometimes
when
I
get
a
question
about
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
this?
It's
not
that
simple.
B
What
I
say
we
need
to
do
if
that
housing,
economic
development,
violence,
education?
Whatever
the
issue
is
it's
not
that
simple?
You
don't
have
an
answer
in
one
day
the
resilience
strategy
that
does
in
front
of
you
today
the
book
of
you
down
the
cookbook,
please
grab
it
away
out,
will
shape
our
work
on
every
issue
and
help
us
get
to
those
deeper
roots.
It
will
change
the
way
we
think
in
the
way.
B
We
time
it
will
shift
our
perspective
and
it
will
form
every
decision
that
we
make
as
it
pretty
much
already
has
in
the
first
couple
three
years
of
this
administration,
so
the
strategy
is
more
than
a
report,
the
strategy,
it's
the
work,
it's
the
internal
work
on
continuing
to
change
the
culture
and
government
and
the
culture
in
the
private
workplaces.
That's
why,
when
I
say
it's
not
about
money?
B
B
This
does
not
have
to
be
a
Roxbury
Dorchester,
Mattapan
corner
area.
Conversation
Grove
hall
conversation.
This
needs
to
be
City
one.
These
are
the
dialogues
that
it's
he
has
been
leading
all
across
our
city.
It's
a
conversation
that
we
made
more
public
last
fall
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
advancing
in
this
year.
The
strategy
will
show
that
achieving
racial
equity
helps
every
single
Bostonian,
whoever
they
are,
and
it
also
shows
true
and
honest
dialogue
is
the
form
of
action.
It
makes
changes
by
changing
highs.
B
We
will
show
that
we
can
trust
and
rely
on
each
other
in
good
times
and
in
high
times.
That's
what
resilience
means
and
that's
why
Proximus
products
become
a
more
resilient
city.
Well,
thank
you.
All.
Everyone
in
this
room
was
something
to
do
putting
this
document
together.
Then
you
feel
work
people
in
this
room
just
here
today,
just
curious
or
what's
going
on.
Thank
you
for
being
curious
of
being
into
that.
There
are
a
couple
of
young
people
they
hear
walking
around
and
see
them
it's
about
them.
It's
about
them.
B
It's
about
making
sure
that
I.
This
challenge
that
we
have
today
that
they
don't
have
to
go
through
some
of
the
challenges
on
people
in
this
room,
'
and
making
sure
to
make
the
city
more
equitable,
more
racially
balanced
and
better
for
them,
and
more
opportunities.
Now
I'm
pleased
to
introduce
you,
Michael
Berkowitz,
president
of
100
million
cities
and
our
biggest
primary.
D
Thank
you,
oh
thanks
mayor
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
us
and
thank
you
at
Tia
for
all
of
your
hard
work
and
inspiration
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
I
know
it's
the
long
road
and
this
one
that's
just
beginning.
We
can
talk
about
that
a
second
and
thank
you
Jason
and
everybody
here,
the
entire
team
and
stakeholder
community
Mary
before
you
got
here.
We
have
four
tables
and
groups
of
folks
really
diving
into
what
the
issues
are
about
implementing
the
strategy.
Already
most
of
those
people
have
stays
to.
D
Thank
you
all
for
for
your
work,
not
just
today
within
the
past
year
or
more.
This
is
one
of
the
most
inspirational
cities
in
our
network
and
one
that
I
know
the
team
just
loves.
Coming
with,
and
working
and
I
know
what
you're
thinking
there.
You're
thinking
I
show
up
in
every
city
and
I
say
the
same
thing
and
that's
true,
but
here
I
actually
mean
it
so
I
think
they're
laughing.
D
So,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
I'm
michael
burton
with
the
person
of
100
resilient
cities,
where
an
organization
I
was
founded
and
funded
by
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
to
help
cities
around
the
world,
build
urban
resilience
to
the
social,
physical
and
economic
challenges
of
the
21st
century,
and
the
21st
century
is
going
to
be
the
century
of
cities.
Right
now
we
have
more
than
half
of
the
world's
population
living
in
cities
and
that
number
is
estimated
to
grow
to
70%
of
Mills
a
decade.
D
So
it's
not
hyperbole
to
say
that
the
action
cities
take
now
and
the
strategies
they
design
for
their
future
reverberates
on
a
global
and
historical
sales
scale.
More
than
ever.
Cities
are
also
leading
where
national
governments
cannot
or
will
not,
whether
because
of
Tollison,
partisan
politics,
ideological
Dogma
or
dualist
appeals
that
prey
on
fear
and
xenophobia.
Many
national
governments.
D
They
are
failing
to
find
solutions
to
combat
the
most
serious
challenges
we
face
more
than
a
mere
force
correction
cities
all
over
the
world
has
a
chance
to
change
the
conversation
and
really
to
elevate
it
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
21st
century,
and
many
are
already
doing
so,
and
Boston
is
one
of
these
cities,
which
is
why
I'm
so
excited
to
be
with
you
here
today
for
the
release
of
the
city's
resilience
strategy.
Boston
is
a
leader
in
our
network.
D
There's
no
there's
no
question
about
that,
and
the
action
one's
already
taken
and
those
developed
through
the
strategy
will
have
a
deep
impact
on
other
cities
in
our
network
and
beyond.
Urban
resilience
is
about
a
city's
ability
to
survive
the
doctor,
but
not
just
the
sudden
to
that.
The
earthquake
hurricane
terrorism
tornadoes,
but
also
the
Slover
in
disasters
that
tear
at
the
urban
fabric
off
often
exacerbating
the
shocks
when
they
do
occur.
D
D
People
think
that
resilience
is
really
about
infrastructure
and
emergency
management
and
I
know
a
TIA
and
I
come
from
the
emergency
management
world.
So,
if
resilience
is
certainly
about
those
things,
but
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
one
of
the
big
differentiators
between
more
and
less
resilient
cities
is
social
capital,
its
equity.
It
really
is
one
of
the
pre
determinants
that
says
whether
not
a
city
performs
better
or
worse
in
the
face
of
a
disaster.
I'll
give
you
just
one
example
from
overseas
think
about
Arab
Spring
of
a
couple
of
years
ago,
highly
inequitable
cities.
D
You
had
one
shot
that
no
one
would
have
predicted
a
fruit
vendor
set
himself
on
fire
in
Tunis
and
a
full
Legion
burned.
That's
what
equity
is
so
important
in
resilience
contact
that
makes
the
entire
city
stronger
and
that's
why
we're
so
inspired
to
partner
with
Boston
awesome
ability
to
integrate
racial
equity
into
the
very
process
of
creating
its
strategy
and
vision
for
the
future.
Sets
it
apart
in
our
network
through
this
focus
the
actions
and
programs
that
exemplifies
resilience,
building
single
interventions
that
address
challenges.
D
Several
challenges
at
once
and
produce
multiple
benefits
will
enrich
the
lives
of
almost
Bostonians
and
make
the
city
stronger
in
the
process,
whether
through
transportation
initiatives
that
target
both
racial
and
economic
equity
and
climate
change
or
education
programs
that
foster
social
cohesion.
The
city
has
created
an
important
document
that
has
the
power
to
bridge
one
of
the
biggest
and
every
gaps
in
the
country
and
create
a
model
for
others
to
emulate.
D
Now
before
you
to
disco
dust,
let
me
leave
you
with
one
final
thought
and
it
comes
from
Winston
Churchill.
This
is
not
the
end,
as
he
said:
it's
not
even
the
beginning
of
the
end.
Rather
it's
the
end
of
the
beginnings
and
what
do
I
mean
when
I
say
that
I
mean
this
is
a
gorgeous
strategy
and
I
know
so
many
in
this
room
shed
blood,
sweat
and
tears
in
order
to
produce
it.
D
But
if
all
we
do
is
produce
a
strategy
beautiful
and
inclusive
that
it
is
appear,
it's
not
going
to
be
enough
in
order
for
us
to
really
change
how
this
city
works,
we're
going
to
need
to
implement
the
actions
in
this
strategy,
and
we
hope
that
we
can
be
a
part
of
what
we
want,
and
this
is
not
a
one-year
or
a
two-year
condiment
venture
in
the
work
of
a
generation.
This
is
a
multiple
year.
D
Endeavor
and
I
want
to
commend
the
mayor
for
taking
his
first
and
courageous
step
here
and
because
of
the
urgency
of
this
work,
we
collaborated
with
the
city
lick
last
year
when
you
release
the
blueprint,
a
preview
of
this
strategy,
and
it's
focused
on
racial
equity,
Otis
Rowley,
our
regional
director
for
North
America,
was
in
Boston,
then
to
unveil
this
work
and
participate
with
the
city
and
has
worked
very
closely
with
the
TIA,
so
I
think
it's
fitting
Tazo
is
to
come
up
and
give
a
few
remarks.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
E
Thanks
Michael
mayor
wall,
dr.
Martin
I'm
excited
to
be
here
today
for
the
release
of
Boston's
resilience
strategy,
it's
a
milestone
for
the
city
and
for
our
partnership,
and
it
has
been
truly
a
collaborative
and
inclusive
effort.
It
definitely
stands
apart
and
our
network.
This
is
the
thirty
second
of
our
resilience
strategies
to
be
released
out
of
100
cities
and
I'm
slightly
biased,
but
it
is
our
best
one.
Yet.
E
This
document
bills
on
the
important
work
we
began
last
November
when
we
preview
the
principles
and
framework
for
the
city's
resilience
effort
in
racial
equity
as
fundamental
to
it.
Since
then,
the
national
conversation
on
race,
at
least
on
the
surface,
seem
to
reflect
growing
discord
and
polarization
and
to
many
a
dawning
recognition
that
structural
racism
is
still
deeply
embedded
in
American
culture.
E
However,
these
issues
have
been
simmering
for
years
and
long
before
the
last
elections
often
beginning
its
own
reflection
on
systemic
racial
inequities
confronting
some
of
the
city's
ugly
history
and
continues
and
continuing
disparities
that
characterize
conditions
in
the
city.
Today,
racism
may
seem
to
some
an
issue
that
exists
in
relative
isolation
from
the
rest
of
the
city's
problems.
It
does
not.
It
lies
at
the
root
of
any
effort
to
achieve
true
urban
resilience
in
this
city
and
elsewhere.
E
The
blizzards
in
2015,
which
one
was
only
invited,
describes
as
a
slow-motion
natural
disaster
of
historic
proportions,
lay
bare
this
reality
and
the
need
to
design
Boston
strategies
to
a
lens
of
racial
equity.
Not
all
Bostonian
communities
felt
the
damage
of
the
storms.
Equally,
some
neighborhoods
were
far
more
isolated
in
their
residents
financially
devastated
by
being
unable
to
get
to
work
or
by
having
to
stay
home,
because
schools
were
closed
while
upgrading
to
tea
is
a
top
priority
in
developing
Boston's
resilience,
the
tragic,
tragically
disproportionate
consequences.
E
Some
communities
served
as
clear
violence
to
the
role
of
race
and
social
cohesion
and
what
they
play.
The
role
that
they
play.
This
strategy
truly
connects
the
issue
of
race
with
other
major
challenges
lost
in
phases
due
to
urbanization,
global
globalization
and
climate
change,
in
addition
to
its
reskin
racial
disparities.
The
resilience
strategy
offers
innovative
specific
actions
designed
to
promote
equitable
economic
opportunities,
collaborative
governance
and
a
connected
adaptive
City.
E
This
strategy
is
about
action.
It's
about
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
and
that
we
will
do
together
one
project.
The
strategy
helps
advance
the
extension
of
the
farewell
Indigo
metro
line
contends
with
all
of
these
director.
The
city
has
identified
that
line
as
a
key
corridor
for
ending
access
opportunities
for
underserved
communities
of
color,
providing
greater
economic
and
education
opportunities
and
developing
greater
social
cohesion.
For
previously
isolated
community
do
full
completion
by
2021.
E
The
extension
will
bring
regular
rail
service
to
within
a
10-minute
walk
of
an
additional
1,200
households
by
a
three
new
station.
The
project
also
consists
of
service
improvements
and
conversion
to
high-speed
rail
server,
ultimately
creating
a
regular
commuting
office
options
for
neighborhood,
mostly
a
color
that
both
disproportionately
relies
on
mass
transit
and
the
further
away
from
job
centers.
Other
innovative
interventions
include
racial
equity.
Toolkits
of
government
understand
how
racism
plays
a
role
and
public
policy
and
program.
This
is
a
big
deal.
A
need
be
very
clear.
E
This
is
a
really
big
deal
for
this
to
be
in
your
strategy
and
for
you
to
have
the
courage
to
say
this
is
how
we
are
going
to
business
moving
forward.
It
is
not
just
football,
Spence
is
a
great
cloud
network
is
great
pollination
and,
as
usual,
plus
we've
leading
the
way.
So
not
only
not
only
does
this
affect
public
institutions
in
the
city
institutions,
but
with
individual
Bostonians,
they
will
have
an
opportunity
to
sit
to
a
city,
wired
learning
theories
of
racism
that
facilitates
the
difficult
conversation
in
essential
reflections
that
we
need
to
have.
E
If
we
are
serious
about
confronting
institutional
and
systemic
racism,
the
strategy
was
born
to
a
kind
of
engagement
that
had
not
been
seen
in
that
network
before,
let
it
be
very
clear,
there's
also
talked
about
public
engagement
and
in
that
really
serious
all
right.
It
was
a
reach
out
to
community
and
find
out
what
do
what
they're
concerned
about
and
how
what
they
have
to
say
and
then
a
draft
is
produced
and
we
go
back
as
they
will
community
would
be
saying
in
words.
E
You
made
it
very
clear
from
the
door
that
that
was
not
acceptable
in
Boston
and
you
engage
in
reengage
and
communicated
and
collaborated
in
a
way
that
is
a
model
of
while
network
until
outrage
three
cities
I
was
the
last
33
to
join
the
100
as
a
real
example
of
how
to
do
it
right,
and
for
that
we
are
so
grateful.
We
have
learned
as
much
from
from
Boston
as
we
build.
We
have
given
and
there's
two
functions
in
life.
The
teaching
of
art
and
both
of
those
functions
have
been
exercised
extensively
here
in
Boston.
E
Dr.
Martin
even
took
it
upon
herself
to
regularly
rie
the
MBTA
buses
engaged
with
residence
individually
about
their
impressions
of
Boston's
challenges.
Boston's
resilience
strategy
reflects
the
voices
of
over
11,000
Bostonians
that
''tis
and
is
a
lot
to
be
proud
of.
While
we
work
closely
with
all
our
cities,
our
partnership
with
Boston
has
been
a
unique
indirect
one.
I
myself
has
been
able
to
see
and
how
these
design
lab
helped
form
the
initiatives
in
the
strategy
and
I've
been
ordered
to
closely
collaborate
participate
in
the
development.
This
work
has
been
exciting.
C
E
E
Because
while
while
I
definitely
hold
up
the
please
took
some
punches
where
necessary
through
them,
when
dr.
Martin
told
me
to
as
well,
but
it
was
Koran
inaudible
to
the
young
men,
our
job
in
terms
of
representing
100
RP
in
his
partnership,
and
so
thank
you
both
so
therefore
that
hard
work,
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
close
focusing
in
on
this
dispatch
said
awesome
embraces
the
resilience
building
process
is,
is
reflected
in
the
many
of
the
plans
that
have
been
put
out
there.
E
I
am
excited
because
Boston
did
something
that
many
other
cities
fails
to
do.
There
are
a
little
bit
over
ten
other
eleven
told
other
plans
that
have
kind
of
come
out
simultaneously
on
the
strategies
and
those
plans
talk
to
each
other.
They
are
linked
in
a
way
that
I
would
love
to
do
a
course
to
other
cities
about
how
to
link
plans
and
strategies
in
a
way
to
help
to
set
yourself
up
the
to
implementation.
E
This
is
a
model,
walk
and
I'm
excited
about
that
and
I'm
excited
about
the
the
comprehensive
plan,
also
being
a
a
rallying
document
over
50
years
50
years
and
as
you
have
a
comprehensive
plan,
that
really
rally
is
all
of
these
together.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
will
close
to
saying
this.
Mr.
mayor
I
was
told
by
one
of
my
mentors
that
first-rate
people
hire
person,
people
and
separate
people
hire
great
people
and
that
the
sign
of
a
great
leader
is
law.
E
E
She
has
shown,
though
she
said
a
little
earlier,
that
she
likes
to
talk.
She
has
some
mystery
is
not
just
about
the
rhetoric
but
about
the
action
and,
as
we
shift
now
from
strategy
formation
to
strategy
implementation,
I'm
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
continue
this
effort
and
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
dr.
Mike.
B
Before
I
put
dr.
Martin
comes
to
the
microphone.
I
just
want
a
lot.
First
of
all
acknowledge
the
great
where
current
a
team
is
done.
They
really
have
done
great
work.
This
is
not
easy
work.
This
is
not.
This
is
not
going
out
and
having
parties
and
talking
about
good
stuff.
This
is
tough
stuff.
This
can
be
people
angry,
there's
people
sad
in
talking
about
what
they
spoke
about,
but
thank
you.
I
also
want
to
just
make
a
couple
other
announce
couple.
B
B
She's
holy
was
here
earlier
from
from
Boston
EMS
with
so
many
other
folks
from
the
city
equation
is
started
because
they
handle
will
be
able
to
Commission.
We
have
the
bus
plant
about
Nancy.
We
have
immigrant
advancement,
we
we
have.
We
have
honest
yet
I
leave
so
many
other
folks
here.
Thank
you,
because
every
every
single
every
department
that
we
go
through
whether
immigrants
were
not
allowed
to
sink
in
the
work.
She's,
not
omegac
in
women's
advancement,
offers
up
the
BPD
a
on
our
own
personal
stuff
internally
or
the
LT
Commissioner.
What
happens?
B
B
Santa,
for
he
has
unique
perspective
on
the
racial
lens
and
I
think
that
you
know
in
the
fact
that
she
grew
up
in
a
putz
corner.
She
is
a
daughter
of
immigrants
and
you
know
just
a
whole.
Whole
story
understand
what
we're
talking
about
here.
So
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
and
now
I'm,
going
to
turn
the
microphone
back
over,
because
I
don't
want
to
yell
that
document
p.m.
I'm.
A
Have
to
say,
I
know
this
isn't
in
traditional
government
form,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
really
appreciate
all
of
you.
I
love
you.
It
has
been
a
pleasure
to
do
this
work
with
you
and
what
I
wanted
to
do
today
is
just
share
with
you.
Just
a
few
things
about
the
strategy
number
one
is,
it
is
a
labor
of
love
is
a
labor
of
tears
of
blood,
sweat
and
more
stuff.
A
lot
of
people
may
work
a
lot
of
time
to
help
put
this
together,
and
so
thank
you
and
I
know.
A
I
said
that
earlier,
but
I
did
I
think
sometimes
we
forget
how
important
it
is
and
how
special
it
is
when
so
many
people
come
together
to
create
something
so
special
that
this
is
it.
This
strategy
that
we
put
together
is
not
just
the
six
agency
strategies
and
they
do
to
our
city
partners
who
have
been
supporting
us.
It
is
also
private
sector
partners,
nonprofit
community
members.
This
is
all
of
our
strategy.
A
We
have
a
long
history
of
policies
and
practices,
bed
of
lettuce
here
and
I.
Don't
think
you
have
heard
me
say
that
before,
but
it's
important
for
us
to
acknowledge
them
and
to
acknowledge
that
in
today
there
are
things
that
are
happening,
that
are,
our
communities
are
struggling
and
that
we
can
do
something
about
racism
is
something
up
is
created,
and
it
is
something
that
can
be
eradicated
by
us,
and
so
the
question
is:
what
kind
of
city
do
you
want
to
be
mayor?
Walsh
talked
about
it?
A
Are
the
beliefs
possibility,
or
the
scrolling
talked
about
it?
This
idea.
We
want
to
consider
that
equitable,
that's
always
working
towards
that
that
we
are
always
using
the
resilience
and
racial
equity
money
that
we
are
building
our
muscles
to
be
able
to
do
this
work.
This
is
a
practice.
It
means
that
we
are
always
having
to
do
this
work
because,
anytime,
we
falter
any
time
to
stop
paying
attention.
We
slide
backwards.
Any
time
we
get
too
comfortable
with
our
success.
We
slide
backwards.
So
this
is
about
us
being
committed
to
this
for
the
long
term.
A
This
is
not
short-term
work,
but
what
we're
saying
today
is
that
we
are
committing
existing
to
do
this
work
and
that
we
as
individuals
recognize
our
role
in
this.
All
of
us.
No
one
is
exempt
from
playing
the
role
in
either
supporting
the
system
of
racism
or
working
to
dismantle
it
and
working
towards
inventions
inventing
racial
equity.
A
This
has
been
a
long
year
and
a
half
a
little
more
than
a
year
and
a
half
now
here
in
ten
months,
I
think
now
and
I
am
just
really
grateful
for
this
opportunity
to
be
a
part
there,
with
all
of
you,
I'm
a
little
bit
emotional
right
now
so
trying
to
write
all
that
in
because
I
recognize
all
the
sacrifice
that
so
many
people
have
to
make
for
today,
including
my
team.
So
the
nice
story.
A
And
Cathy
Downey
is
not
here
with
us,
but
she
helps
to
do
stuff
behind
the
scenes
like
getting
our
calendars
together
and
helping
us
coordinate,
eating's
and
all
that
stuff.
We
have
to
also
acknowledge
those
behind
the
scenes.
People
does
another
person
who
is
here
another
group
of
people
who
are
here
who
have
been
part
of
the
team
and
they're
trying
to
spread
all
over
here.
If
you
have
ever
volunteered
intern
or
been
a
fellow
in
the
office
formally
or
currently,
we
stand
up.
Please.
A
We
have
one
of
our
former
fellows,
who
is
actually
currently
working
with
100
resilient
cities.
Now,
where
you
will
there,
you
go
that
dapper
young
man
in
the
blue
suit.
Yes,
yes,
that's
right,
and
one
young
lady
that
stood
up
stand
up
again
and
start
walking
your
way
up
here
to
be
right.
Next
to
me,
my
dear
so
this
lovely
lady
right
here
is
Megan
known.
A
The
bravery
that
this
young,
lady
and
her
partner
in
crime
is
not
here
with
us
today
have
shown
us
is
a
model
not
just
as
they're
young
people
in
court,
a
young
person
that
is
brave.
No,
that
was
very
pure
and
unadulterated.
So
I
want
to
just
give
a
few
minutes
for
Maggie
to
share
with
you
some
of
her
perspectives
on
this
concept
of
resilience
and
rhetorically.
F
Before
I
start,
I
wanted
to
read
an
excess
of
one
of
my
favorite
poems
cage.
Verisign
is
my
angel,
the
free
bird
think
of
another
breeze
and
the
trade
winds
sauce
to
the
side,
trees
and
the
back
worms
waiting
on
the
dawn
right
lon
remains
God's
his
own,
but
a
caged
bird
stands
on
the
grave
of
dreams.
F
F
Noel
I
am
in
a
class
of
2016
graduate
of
Boston
Latin
School
and
I
encourage
a
rising
sophomore
at
Spelman
College
we're
assuming
a
history,
major
school
I
love
my
class
ago,
I
love
my
alright
pursuing
a
history
major
with
a
minor
in
at
the
part
of
the
absolutely
doc,
Thomason
and
sociology,
and
when
I
was
granted
the
opportunity
to
speak
I
had
to
really
stop
and
ask
myself
what
does
resiliency
mean
to
me.
My
mom
has
always
describes
me
as
resilient
and
determined
so
this
word
has
always
been
thrown
away.
C
F
I
had
to
do
what
any
good
student
does
in
Google
the
definition
of
resilience.
So
by
definition
it
means
the
process
of
adapting
world
and
the
face
of
diversity,
trauma
or
tragedy,
or
any
significant
source
of
stress.
So
the
ability
to
about
examine
issues
right
basically
being
resilience
is
about
determination.
It
is
about
moving
forward
fiercest,
yes,
I,
said
spiritually,
not
fear
Leslie,
because
fearfully
Meeny
is
where
the
real
great
big
target
comes
in
is
when
we
recognize
that
tackling
certain
issues
within
a
community
golden
card.
F
However,
we
have
to
move
forward
despite
all
e4,
despite
our
own
secure,
now,
I
learned
these
lessons
being
president
appearance
black
with
then
or
black
leaders
aspire
for
change
of
knowledge
and
as
one
of
the
catalyst
for
the
campaign
we
for
the
campaign
black
at
the
LSU
are
pushing
to
raise
awareness,
the
experiences
of
students
of
color
within
our
education
system,
but
also
within
our
city.
We
wanted
to
promote
student
and
youth
voice.
We
wanted
to
transparency,
smart
administration
and
also
a
chance
to
hold
them
accountable
to
these
promises
to
us.
F
Now
all
the
issues
that
we
are
facing
within
our
school
system,
as
students
of
color,
are
simply
manifestations
and
symptoms
of
the
larger
issue
and
the
root
of
the
issue
is
racism
within
our
society
within
our
city
within
our
communities.
We
are
hoping
to
address
these
issues
and
uprooting
from
the
problem.
F
Now
our
city
has
been
plagued
with
the
issue
with
this
disease
for
a
little
while
from
from
the
beginning
and
referencing
my
toll
earlier,
we
are
the
caged
bird
that
is
holding
strong
to
these
to
these
traditionally,
without
really
understanding
and
internalizes
our
roles
in
these
systemic
connect.
This
resilience,
this
resiliency
strategy
launch,
is
us
as
a
city
opening
our
scope
to
state.

It
is
the
beginning
in
destroying
the
system
and
rebuilding
I'm,

those
people
who
are
willing
to
be
involved
in
this
work,
so
thankful
for
the
more
more

and
community
partners.
Of
course,
the
residents
of
Boston
who
are
willing
to
step
forward
and
say
the
time
is
now,
but
this
is
only
the
beginning
we
are
stretching
for
the
marathon,
which
is
warm
enough.
The
thing
is,
nothing
can
be
done
without
the
implementation
and
integration
of
generals
of
genuine
youth
mind
in
these
voices.

that's
what

This
is

G
A
A
So
we
prayed
this
resilience
strategy
as
being
about
how
we
make
sure
that
all
people
in
this
city
have
access
to
all
the
greatness
that
Boston
has
to
offer.
This
strategy
has
been
about
how
we
make
sure
that
we
are
working
with
issues
together
and
that
we
see
ourselves
and
our
individual
responsibilities
in
making
sure
that
we
advance
racial
ugly.
So
the
question
is
who
argued
in
this
resilient
strategy?
A
Who
are
you
inland?
Who
are
we
in
it?
Because
who
you
are?
Is
this?
The
tournament
will
be
targeted
so
as
we
think
about
the
roles
and
responsibilities
of
individuals
and
as
for
every
organization
in
the
city
of
Boston,
this
is
a
responsibility
in
the
way
that
we're
going
to
keep
this
alive
is
through
our
interactive
resilience.
Strategies
is
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
evolve
