So
I
did
want
to
begin
with
a
thank
you
for
the
Red
Sox
for
not
only
helping
us
launch
last
night,
but
but
the
efforts
that
they
have
demonstrated
over
the
past
few
years
and
that's
the
spirit
of
fun.
It's
really
to
have
a
conversation
with
and
about
the
experience,
particularly
of
young
professionals
in
color.
In
Boston,
here
at
the
chamber,
we
talk
about
being
an
organization
that
helps
all
businesses
and
all
people
thrive,
leaving
no
one
on
the
sidelines
and
making
sure
that
everybody
feels
like
they
have
a
shot
at
sowing.
A
We're
very
pleased
it
back
with
us
today,
Mayor
of
the
City
of
Boston
who
joined
us
last
year.
For
this
conversation,
Danni
one
vote
from
partners
is
going
to
handle
the
formal
introduction,
but
I
will
just
say
that
I've
known
this
guy
for
a
very
long
time
and
I
know
that
every
day,
not
only
does
he
wake
up
thinking
about
this
issue
and
a
welcome
inclusion
culture
of
Boston,
but
every
day
he
thinks
about
actions
that
can
be
taken
that
will
fulfill
that
dream,
that
we
all
our
city
I.
A
Thank
you
Maya
for
being
and
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Danny.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
people
that
make
this
all
happen
both
on
our
team,
but
also
companies
that
have
stepped
up
to
demonstrate
their
partnership
with
us
in
trying
to
create
the
dynamic.
Through
these
conversations
that
were
trying
to
create
first
on
my
team,
the
three
people
who
did
all
the
work
that
I
want
to
get
a
big
round
of
applause
for
machine
acarya,
Justin,
Kane
and
Hannah
Zen.
A
Part
of
executing
these
things
that
takes
resources
to
do
it
and
we
reached
out
to
the
Boston
Business
community
with
this
idea
said:
what
do
you
thinking?
Can
you
help
us
that
responsive
ship's
doing
it?
Thankfully,
in
Boston
we
have
an
enlightening
business
community?
That
said
sure,
this
is
a
great
idea.
This
is
what
we
are
all
about.
This
is
exactly
what
we
need
to
demonstrate
as
a
business
community.
So
I
want
to
thank
I
mentioned
the
Red
Sox
Ahnold
worldwide
John
Hancock
Patton
is
healthcare.
Png
Gillette
PwC,
the
Boston
foundation.
A
I
stopped
talking
because
you
didn't
listen
to
me
all
right,
but
I
do
want
to
introduce
from
one
of
our
major
sponsors,
Partners
HealthCare,
the
any
Monroe
who
is
deputy
and
chief
diversity
and
inclusion
officer,
all
continents,
health
care
and
I.
Think
about
that,
nor
a
enterprise
that
has
75
thousand
employees
in
the
world
that
danny
has
taken
on
and
if
you
don't
know
the
ending
I'm
about
to
introduce
a
force
of
nature,
not
only
had
Danny
let
diversity
and
inclusion
efforts.
A
Polish
he's
done
it
for
over
30
years.
A
At
places
like
get
this,
the
CIA
John
Hancock
has
brought
by
FISA
Nevada
straight
beyond
shell
States
premium,
the
Walt
Disney
Company.
So
this
is
a
woman.
That's
been
in
the
trenches
for
quite
a
while
wrote
a
book
to
talk
about
it,
untapped
talent,
unleashing
the
power
of
the
hidden
work
force
that
received
a
number
of
awards,
DNA
herself,
as
we
seen
the
number
of
awards,
including
YWCA
Academy
of
women,
achievers
Boston,
Business,
Journal,
Lifetime,
Achievement,
Award
diversity,
but
I
do
know
that
one
of
the
awards
that
she
holds
near
and
dear
the
rest.
A
C
So
good
afternoon,
thank
you
Jim!
Thank
you
for
that
introduction
and
don't
ask
me
about
the
CIA,
because,
if
I
have
to
so
it's
a
pleasure
being
here
with
you
today,
it's
always
the
pleasure
doing
work
with
chambers-
and
this
is
particularly
important
to
the
city
and
to
partners
and
on
behalf
of
partners.
You
know
we
are
really
proud
to
be
part
of
this
event.
For
the
second
year.
C
The
fierce
urgency
of
now
festival
in
terms
of
bringing
Millennials
together
in
this
city
is
incredibly
important,
and
today
I'm
especially
excited
to
have
a
special
job
of
introducing
our
incredible
mayor,
mayor,
Marty,
Walsh,
a
leader
who
truly
gets
it
when
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
making
our
city
a
welcoming
place
for
all.
But
before
I
get
into
my
official
duties,
I'd
like
to
speak
briefly
about
partners,
because
some
of
you
may
not
be
aware
of
partners
in
terms
of
some
of
the
things
that
does.
C
But
we
have
an
a
commitment
to
engage
in
investing
an
important
work
around
Millennials
in
the
Greater
Boston
area
and
across
the
state
to
address
issues
around
race
equality,
opportunity
and
particularly
for
our
young
workforce
and
Millennials
of
color.
As
the
largest
employer
in
Massachusetts,
as
Jim
said,
was
75,000
employees
I
think
you
added
a
thousand
to
my
roster,
but
that's
the
core
that.
C
40
percent
of
Partners
HealthCare
of
workforce
are
Millennials,
as
this
generation
continues
to
grow
within
partners.
We
want
to
provide
our
workforce
as
many
opportunities
for
them
to
grow
professionally.
So
partners
knows,
as
evidenced
by
Forbes
20:19
ranking
us
as
the
fourth
best
place,
to
work
in
Massachusetts
that
as
an
employer,
we
need
to
provide
opportunities
to
build
professional
skills
presents
not
only
within
our
workforce,
but
within
the
world.
Our
employees,
ultimate
success,
can
use
on
more
than
what
we
can
accomplish
within
the
walls
of
our
organization.
C
Millenials
of
color
deserve
to
feel
like
they
belong
and
the
city
in
which
they
work
not
just
their
workplace,
so
that
they
can
bring
their
whole
selves
to
work,
and
all
of
that
experience
with
them.
Partners
HealthCare
recognizes
that
as
a
diverse
ethical
board,
inclusive
workforce
not
only
believes
that
the
daily
lives
of
our
employees,
but
also
impacts
our
patient
care
and
health
outcomes.
C
He
has
focused
on
strengthening
Boston
schools
and
leading
Boston
to
the
forefront
of
the
global
innovation
economy,
both
by
attracting
industry-leading
talent
and
businesses,
and
by
significantly
upgrading
the
city's
digital
infrastructure
into
a
transformed
government
service.
At
the
same
time,
he
has
led
important
conversations
about
economic
opportunity,
pay
equity
and
about
addressing
persistent
issues
of
racism
in
Boston.
C
We
are
thankful
for
his
leadership
and
that
he
took
the
time
to
listen
and
reflect
with
us
today
and
I
know
he
will
do
it
and
sincerity
and
take
your
ideas
and
implement
them
because
he's
done
it
time
and
again
in
these
listening
sessions.
So
thank
you
for
being
here,
mayor
Walsh
and
with
that
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Justin
to
facilitate
the
conversation.
D
D
Of
the
Greater
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce,
thank
you.
The
partners
and
our
many
sponsors
for
making
this
work.
Jim
did
a
great
job
of
taking
our
team,
but
I
also
want
to
give
a
special
shout-out
for
Jim
I.
Don't
think
there
is
any
business
group
across
the
country
that
is
unapologetic
and
passionate
and
making
sure
that
Boston
is
a
welcoming
place
for
young
professionals
of
college.
So
we
can
go.
D
D
Why
we
are
here
today
is
that
we
believe
that
these
five
days
is
meant
to
be
a
platform.
We
don't
expect
the
world
to
change
in
these
five
days,
but
we
hope
that
it
starts
a
conversation
and
making
sure
that
these
five
days
of
inclusivity
of
empowerment
last
365
days
so
yeah
so
every
year,
we'll
do
this
festival
every
year.
We'll
have
these
five
days,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
this
great
city
is
a
great
city
for
everyone.
So
what
we
asked
we
did
a
call
to
action.
D
D
D
G
A
couple
minutes,
first
of
all,
thank
you
and
Danny
for
introduction.
I
want
that
Justin
for
leading
the
conversation
today.
I
want
to
thank
Jim
at
the
chamber
and
I
want
to
thank
the
chamber
for
having
this
conversation.
This
is
not
the
first
time
this
conversations
had
and
it's
necessary
conversation
and
I
think
that
it's
important
for
the
Millennials
in
the
room,
if
you,
if
you're,
not
connected
to
the
chamber,
even
though
you're.
G
Connected
to
the
chamber,
if
your
companies
that
you
work
for
aren't
connecting
the
chamber
advocate
that
you'd
be
liaison
to
the
chains
right,
but
that's
key,
so
I
want
to
thank
all
of
his
being
I
want
to
thank
John
Burroughs
and
his
team
from
economic
development,
John's
chief
economic,
throw
them
to
the
City
of
Boston,
just
real,
quick
I'm
not
going
to
go
too
much
into
anything,
because
the
conversation
is
important
that
we're
going
to
have
here
today.
Just
a
snapshot
of
Boston
I
was
sworn
in
as
mayor
in
2014
from
that
time.
G
So
today,
fifteen
thousand
people
living
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
weren't
here
how
many
twenty
thousand
jobs
created
in
the
city
of
Boston
itself
that
weren't
him
took
on
a
housing
crisis
that
still
in
existence.
Today
we
leave
the
country
in
low-income
production
of
low-income
housing
in
the
country.
We
lead
the
country
in
the
numbers
of
it
not
percentage
in
the
numbers
of
it,
but
still.
E
G
Can
see
the
need?
Many
of
you
I
see
heads
nodding,
you're
living
in
a
problem
with
children.
Three
and
four
people
can't
live
in
Boston.
You
want
to
live
in
one
city,
brother,
but
you
want
to
stay
in
Boston,
so
we
have
more
to
do
there
when
you
think
about
a
population
at
thirty
four.
Thirty,
six
point:
thirty
four
point:
six
percent
of
our
population
living
in
the
city
of
Boston
I
kid
young
people
between
the
ages
of
20
and
34
Millennials.
H
G
The
city
of
Boston
I
want
you
to
make
your
investments
in
the
city
of
Boston
I.
Want
you
to
live
at
the
City
of
London,
so
we
have
work
to
do
when
it
comes
to
when
it
comes
to
making
sure
that
we
create
opportunity.
We
don't
want
you
here
to
get
a
job
and
party
and
have
a
good
time.
We
and
your
boss,
then
all
of
a
sudden
when
you
settle
down
and
say
well
I,
think
I'm
gonna
move
to
Newton
I.
Want
you
to
stay.
G
J
G
Who
you
talk
to,
but
the
issues
that
there
are
the
top
of
the
list
for
us
in
the
city
of
Boston
transportation,
our
housing,
economic
development,
environment,
it's
important
all
those
different
issues
and
they
cross
sector
and
they
all
cross
over
each
other
in
education.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
we
can
continue.
We'll
talk
more
about
that
dialogue
in
a
minute,
we're
also
very
open.
City
28%
of
the
people
who
live
in
Boston
will
go
on
to
another
country.
G
50%
of
the
people.
Roughly
they
live
in
the
city
of
ours
are
first-generation
like
I
am
so
weird.
50%
of
people
have
been
honest,
idiot
people,
caller
52%
of
the
people
that
the
VM
the
hub,
the
families
in
our
city,
our
households,
are
led
by
women.
So
when
we
think
about
equity,
you
think
about
equity
across
all
lines.
You
think
about
equity.
When
it
comes
to
it
comes
to
equal
pay,
it's
not
just
conversation.
It
makes
an
impact
with
the
City
of
Austin
that
52
percent
of
the
households
led
by
women.
G
If
women
are
being
paid,
seventy
two
percent,
seven,
seventy
two
cents
on
the
dollar
to
a
man
or
sixty
five
cents
or
57
cents-
that's
respectively,
black
and
Latino
women.
There's
a
problem
in
our
economy
somewhere
down
the
road,
so
we're
working
to
make
sure
that
we're
inclusive
immigrants.
We
need
to
be
open.
We're
an
immigrant
city
we'll
were
built
by
immigrants.
G
A
F
G
My
administration
are
being
paid
the
same
as
men
if
it
meant
to
do
in
the
same
job,
then
I
can't
go
out
and
talk
about
pay
equity.
If
we're
not
creating
opportunity.
If
my
workforce
is
not
diverse,
my
cabinets
not
diverse
the
department
heads
on
diverse
the
workforce
on
diverse
I
can't
go
and
expect
for
companies
to
get
more
diverse.
You
can't
do
that
if
I
don't
respect
all
the
other
things
today,
we
don't
set
the
tone
in
the
city.
I
have
no
right,
no
ability
to
go
out.
G
You
tell
how
the
companies
and
other
people,
that
is
what
I
expect
out
of
you
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
it's
so
important.
Lastly,
and
is
it
truly?
Lastly,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you.
It's
just
sitting
in
today,
you're
all
potentially
future
leaders.
I
was
talking
to
last
night.
I
was
at
my
house,
and
a
couple
friends
came
over
just
talking
on
the
porch
about
life,
from
where
light
station,
which
I'm
going.
G
And
I
think
it
takes
Drive
and
desire
and
you're
here
today
and
don't
let
anyone
tell
you,
you
can't
be
a
leader,
because
every
single
person
in
this
room
can
be
a
leader
in
one
way
or
another,
whether
you're
leading
a
company
or
the
elite
in
your
community,
whether
you're
leading
in
different
ways.
That's
what
we
need.
We
need
voices
to
rise
up
and
voices
to
talk
about
in
some
hominins
and
I
know
that
I
believe
in
all
of
you
with
the
showman
I.
Don't
know
a
lot
of
you,
but
this
room.
G
G
D
J
At
the
same
time,
I'd
also
love
to
see
professional
developments
offered
by
libraries
and
career
centers
that
give
residents
proactive
ways
of
showcasing
their
skills
and
experiences.
So
this
could
be
a
workshop,
for
example,
on
strategic
volunteering
or
how
to
start
a
freelancing
business.
Lastly,
I'd
like
to
encourage
more
apprenticeship
programs
that
mix
school
and
on-the-job
training
experience
along
with
partnerships
among
community
organizations,
community
colleges,
the
city
and
employers
that
could
better
prepare
the
workforce
of
the
future
and
meet
the
needs
of
growing
industries
in
Boston.
Thank
you.
K
K
So
the
solution
I
will
propose
is
an
already
functioning
example
of
Boston's
green
New,
Deal
seto,
cooperative
Sydow
offers
jobs
for
justice
worker
owned
jobs,
paying
living
wages
in
the
green
economy,
environment,
environmental
justice,
currently
we're
hauling
over
12
million
pounds
of
wasting
food
away
from
landfills
and
to
local
farms,
and
also
a
solution
to
building
community
wealth.
Thinking
about
situating
community
scale,
anaerobic
digestion,
a
machine
that
can
transform
food
waste
into
renewable
natural
gas,
electricity
and
a
liquid
organic
fertilizer
that
can
be
used
for
indoor
and
outdoor
growing.
K
However,
we
need
the
city's
helped
to
go
farther
as
a
national
example.
We
are
currently
exporting
this
vital
resource
outside
of
the
city
limits
and
we
need
to
have
it
remain
within
our
neighborhoods
in
order
to
create
a
local,
green
and
renewable
energy
economy.
So
I
want
to
ask
what
can
the
city
do
to
support?
Seto's
proposal
on
the
Boston
city's
five
acre
composting
land
in
Mattapan.
Thank
you.
F
Hi
everyone
I'm
Nadia,
no
less
I'm,
really
grateful
to
be
here.
My
family
and
I
moved
to
Jamaica
Plain
from
the
Dominican
Republic
when
I
was
5
years
old
and
I've
been
lucky
enough
to
call
Boston
home
ever
since
I'm
a
doctoral
candidate
in
education,
leadership
at
Harvard
and
I'm
also
supporting
the
work
of
the
Massachusetts
education
equity
partnership.
Currently,
when
John
Winthrop
spoke
of
Boston
as
a
city
upon
a
hill
centuries
ago,
he
imagined
a
city
that
would
serve
as
an
example
to
the
world.
F
My
vision
is
not
so
different
from
his
I
envision,
a
new
city
on
a
hill
for
this
generation
of
new
Bostonians.
As
a
former
immigrant
myself,
where
current
immigrants
still
here
in
a
former
middle
school
teacher
to
new
immigrants
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
I'm,
acutely
aware
of
the
difficulties
that
immigrants
face
in
navigating
housing,
health
care,
employment
in
school
Boston's
immigrants
have
fed
the
soul
of
our
city
since
its
inception
and
there's
a
huge
role
that
the
city
can
play
and
in
in
facilitating
and
supporting
immigrant
integration.
F
I
propose
that
we
expand
the
reach
and
capacity
of
the
mayor's
office
for
immigrant
advancement.
In
order
for
it
to
be
able
to
coordinate
these
services,
people
need
to
work
and
people
need
to
go
to
school.
Let's
provide
pathways
to
licensing
for
professionals
who
are
immigrants
who
are
currently
unable
to
practice
their
profession
here
and
let's
open
pathways
to
higher
education
for
all
of
our
students,
whether
they
be
immigrants
or
not.
Boston's
immigrants,
given
the
current
national
climate
surrounding
immigration,
need
all
of
us
and
need
you
mayor
Walsh,
to
lead
on
this
issue.
B
All
right,
anyone
hear
me
great
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
Felicia
jatt
zach.
I
am
the
co
CEO
and
co-founder
of
a
four
year
old,
women-owned
startup,
based
right
here
in
downtown
boston,
called
she
geeks
out.
We
offer
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
training
for
companies.
We
also
have
a
vibrant
community
of
women
plus
and
their
allies,
where
we
connect
these
people
with
each
other,
as
well
as
with
companies
who
wish
to
hire
them.
B
That
leads
me
to
the
problem
I'd
like
to
address,
which
is
we're
seeing
that
women
are
getting
access
to
great
internships,
great
entry-level
jobs
at
companies
here,
especially
within
the
bloomin
tech
industry.
Here
in
Boston,
however,
that's
where
we
stall
women
are
not
getting
promoted,
they're,
not
getting
advanced
and
they're,
not
getting
opportunities
to
have
access
to
these
high-level
high
income,
job
opportunities,
and
this
problem
is
especially
keen
for
women
of
color
and
those
from
underrepresented
groups.
So
the
solution
that
I'd
like
to
present
is
a
best-of
class
seal
of
inclusion.
B
We
have
some
great
programs
here
already
like
the
hundred
percent
talent
compact,
which
address
pay
and
pay
equity.
This
goes
one
step
further
to
address.
Inclusion,
this
seal
will
be
awarded
to
companies
only
after
undergoing
a
rigorous
review
and
they'll
have
to
commit
to
supporting
activities
like
partnerships
with
organizations
like
the
ones
in
this
room
today,
training,
inclusive
workspace
and
inclusive
benefit
assessments
and
reviews,
ongoing
promotion
reviews
and
putting
aside
real
dollars
for
budgets,
resources
and
people.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
Hi
I'm
Aisha
Francis
from
Benjamin
Franklin
Institute
of
Technology,
which
is
a
Technical
College
in
Boston,
hello.
Mr.
mayor
I'm,
here
to
present
a
program
that
I've
called
boost,
which
is
an
initiative
to
increase
the
availability
of
paid
internships
for
local
Boston
residents
for
more
competitive
boston.
The
majority
of
paid
college
internships
at
large
companies
in
Boston
are
nationally
competitive
and
most
of
them
go
to
students
who
are
not
from
Boston
and
don't
have
intentions
of
staying
here.
They
have
little
intention
to
return
after
they
complete
college
at
the
schools
that
are
not
here
locally.
L
D
G
And
we'll
get
to
first
of
all,
I
don't
know
what
like?
Can
you
give
me
some
hack
questions
like
these
softballs?
We
I
think.
First
of
all,
thank
you
all
for
asking
questions.
I
think
on
the
first
one,
the
job
training
program
and
in
the
the
bachelor's
degree,
and
how
do
we
create
more
opportunities?
G
I
think
that
that's
key
one
of
the
things
that
we
started
to
talk
about
last
year
in
the
city
I
see
before
last
year
is
he's
putting
on
young
people
on
a
pathway,
the
call
to
career,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
our
high
schools
are
preparing
our
kids
for
the
the
economy
of
today
and
I.
Think
that
that
that
is
so
important.
That
I
mean
I'm
a
perfect
example.
I
was
not
really
quality.
G
College
quality
I
went
to
college
for
a
year
and
a
half
after
high
school
and
I
dropped
out
and
I
ended
up
going
back
and
to
get
my
degree.
But
we
have
to
do
a
lot
better
job
of
preparing
our
kids
for
a
career
in
college.
Well,
boqueria
it
was.
It
was
a
story
in
The,
Boston
Globe,
about
a
valedictorian
story
in
the
globe
a
few
months
ago.
They
were
talking
about
how,
where
are
they
now
and
a
lot
of
our
voluntary
and
suppli
homeless?
G
None
of
them
really
hit
the
hit
the
opportunities
that
they
were
expecting
when
they
were
in
high
school
and
then
that
that
can
be
a
little
bit
of
the
individual,
not
not
driving
themselves,
but
it's
also
part
of
what
we
preparing
our
kids
to
really
be
prepared.
I
think
the
best
way
of
handling
that
situation
is
is
number
one
preparing
our
kids
for
jobs
that
are
available
today
when
I
graduate
high
school
and,
secondly,
try
to
work
with
employers
on
giving
kids
opportunities
and
chances
a
lot
of
kids
for
good-paying
jobs.
G
We
also
have
a
program
that
we
do
in
our
own
city
called
Boston
hires,
which
we
are
going
out
to
get
22
thousand
people
by
2024.
Think
it
is.
We
want
to
get
people
that
are
low-income
workers
today,
it's
a
better
paying
jobs,
so
it
is
gonna.
Take
truly
take
a
whole
community
to
drive
that
out.
So
that's
one
suggestion,
let's
say
back
but
I'd
love
to
follow
up
after
we
have
some
folks
here
that
would
love
to
talk
to
afterwards.
G
The
second
piece
is:
Maya
talked
about
the
environment
and
more
opportunities,
the
first
of
all
connected
to
Chris,
Cook
and
chief
O'brien
to
the
city
of
Boston
unis.
He
knows
all
about
the
composting
facility.
We
have
a
man,
a
pan
and
also
contact
with
my
bro
from
our
Public
Works
Department
that
they
come
on.
How
do
we?
How
do
we
dispose
of
food
and
then
certainly
we'll
be
doing
some
pilot
programs
right
now?
G
Composting
in
the
city
we
haven't
gone
to
a
full
composting
pick
up
yet
in
the
city
of
Boston
I,
see
you
coming
in
in
the
future.
We
just
aren't
there
yet
because
the
cost
of
it
and
how
do
we
do
it,
but
there's
opportunity
so
I
would
suggest
your
company
reaches
out
to
Chris
and
talked
about
that.
Some.
M
G
The
problems
that
we're
having
you
know
a
lot
of
cities
and
towns
are
getting
rid
of
recycling
right
now
because
of
the
increased
costs
and
not
being
able
to
disclose
what
we
actually
put
I.
Think
six
or
eight
million
dollar
additional
e
into
the
budget
to
recycle
and
keep
recycling
the
city
Boston
I'm
not
going
to
take
us
backwards.
We're
gonna
continue
to
move
forward,
even
if
it
cost
a
few
dollars.
So
I
think
on
the
idea
and
I
think
there
has
to
be
an
educational
component
to
a
compost
against
and
what
we
can
use.
G
Compost
for
in
the
city
and
I.
Think
that's
that's!
So
what
so?
I
would
suggest
that
Chris
Cook
from
environments
and
also
have
it
ring
it.
My
bro
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
your
company
and
some
other
idea.
It's
not
just
your
company,
but
if
we
truly
get
this
right,
there's
an
opportunity
for
entrepreneurs
ship
with
other
companies
coming
out
and
being
active
engaged.
So
that's
thank
you
for
that.
A
G
Prior
to
being
a
mayor-
and
there
was
one
occasion
where
somebody
came
into
my
office
and
came
from
different
countries
and
they
might
have
been
trained
in
architecture
or
doctors
or
lawyers,
and
things
like
that
in
the
state
law
does
not
recognize
their
their
license
and
there's
no
quick
take
a
test.
If
you
took
a
credentials
course
in
your
country
and
you
want
to
come
to
America
and
take
a
test,
the
bar,
or
what
have
you
to
prove
that
you
can
do
the
work
and
you
understand
it.
G
F
G
You
know
Russia
and
you
moved
all
those
that
move
to
America
and
you
want
to
be
a
plumber.
You
have
to
go
back
to
school
and
do
it
all
over
again,
so
there's
some
issues
there.
So
that's
first
and
foremost,
I
think
something
that
we
should
be
talking
about.
And
how
do
we
create
that
opportunity?
That's
something!
G
That's
key
on
the
education
side
of
it,
kids
that
are
foreign-born
that
are
undocumented,
that
go
to
school
in
Boston,
for
the
Constitution
we
educate
them
and
then
in
12th
grade
a
lot
of
those
kids
can't
go
to
college,
but
they
have
to
pay
out
of
the
park
and
they
can
okay,
they
don't
get
in-state
tuition
rate.
Well,
they
do
now
in
Massachusetts,
but
they
don't
they'll
get
Ben
if
they
don't
get
scholarships
grants
and
all
Pell
grants
Milazzo.
But
when
we
created
the
free.
F
G
Immigrant
advancement,
my
advice
to
anyone
in
this
room
that
was
interested
in
immigration
issues,
my
offer,
my
advice
is
reach
out
to
our
office.
Immigrant
advancement.
We
have
a
new
director
I
used
to
Valley
when
I
became
a
man.
The
office
was
called
office
with
new
Bostonians,
and
we
realized
that
it's
so
much
more
than
new
Bostonians
people
coming
in
immigrants
to
the
country.
We
talked
about
the
immigrant
advancement.
How
do
we
help
advance
immigrants
and
kind.
F
G
That
is
integrating
immigrants
through
the
city
across
the
process
that
we
have
not
just
simply
going
into
your
advancement
but
connecting
the
small
business.
Economic
development
can
I,
think
people
to
water
and
sewer
connecting
people
to
education,
connecting
people
to
women's
advancement
connecting
people
to
all
the
different
pieces
that
we
have.
So
all
of
that
stuff
we're
hoping
to
take
that
office.
It's
kind
of
a
it's
a
whiteboard
if
you
will
and
ready
to
just
book
or
with
or
whatever
you
want.
So
that's
something
that
I
appreciate
you
bringing
that
up
women's
women's
issue.
A
G
G
Women's
advancement
office
again
when
I
took
over
to
me
it
was
called
the
Women's
Commission
and
it
was
an
office
that
was
doing
work
good
work
for
women,
but
we
thought
to
myself.
We
talked
to
herself
it's
really
about
advancing
women,
it's
about
advancing
opportunity
and
not
just
about
talking
about
childcare.
But
how
do
we
really
deal
with
issues
of
being
inclusive?
How
do
we
deal
with
finding
out
that
a
2%
talent.
G
Think
we
have
five
from
275,
roughly
employers
right
now
to
give
us
they
did
it
to
tell
us
where
they
are.
The
first
report
was
just
basically
pretty
much
across
the
board.
Looking
at
wind,
okay,
the
second
report
I
think
we're
looking
more
into
the
demographic
breakdown.
It's
really
get
a
real
understanding.
What
the
numbers
look
like
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
also.
F
G
Something
called
the
salary
negotiation
workshop.
That's
something
that
we're
educating
and
helping
women
to
be
able
to
negotiate
a
salary.
A
typical
transaction
is
a
guy,
gets
off
on
a
job.
A
guy
gets
told
what
the
salary
is.
A
guy
will
say:
well,
I'd
like
to
get
more
money
in
a
different
title
and
more
often
than
not,
because
the
guy
was
able
to
understand
how
to
do
that.
I'll
do
that,
but
do
they
have
the
conference
to
do
that?
Then
they
take
the
job
and
they
get
more
money
than
a
different
title.
G
We've
seen
in
the
past,
where
women
will
go
and
get
a
job
and
say
thank
you
very
much
for
the
job
and
leave
and
understand
that
that
something's
been
left
on
the
table.
So
we've
been
able
to
work
with
I
think
to
the
state,
seven
or
eight
thousand
women
to
help
train
women
on
what
I
say.
We
scope
coaches
on
how
to
negotiate
for
higher
salary.
G
It's
happened
in
my
office,
where
I've
had
somebody
with
emotion
and
get
back
to
me
and
so
well
like
a
different
title
of
more
money
and
I'm
glad
we
don't
think
alike.
It's
exactly
it's
out
of
negotiation
workshop,
and,
and
what
do
you
do?
You
have
the
conversation
and
obviously
it's
successful,
so
those
are
kind
of
the
things
too
about
the
pay.
The
pay
equity
stuff
that
you
talked
about.
Some
of
the
responsibility
is
on
you
to
learn
a
little
bit
more.
G
Take
advantage
of
this
program,
it's
a
great
as
a
free
program,
and
it
really
is
amazing.
Make
connections
as
well,
something
that's
going
to
be
important.
So
there's
a
whole
bunch
in
that
in
that
part,
what's
with
with
with
the
question,
was
asked,
but
I
think
those
are
some
of
the
beginning,
things
that
we've
been
able
to
do
and.
G
G
How
do
we
make
sure
we
bring
them
in
so
I
think
that
that's
a
process
that
we
work
with
the
chamber
on
trying
to
do
that?
That's
key
I
think
this
summer
job
program
I,
would
love
to
expand
this
summer.
Job
program,
it's
bigger
than
it
is
I-
think
we're
about
roughly
11,000
jobs.
Now
you
know
in
this
beginning
of
this
quarter
so
much
that's.
My
cabinet
literally
sits
in
a
row.
We
get
a
list
of
companies
that
are
not
participating
in
our
southern,
our
graham,
and
we
call
them
all
of
us.
G
Could
cabinet
members
I,
call
them
and
ask
them
to
increase
their
numbers
if
they're
low
or
to
to
open
up
the
doors.
A
great
example
of
that
is
Varitek
pharmaceutical.
If
Jeff
Lee
was
here
even
tell
us
that
Brian
said
prior
to
2014,
they
had
an
internship
program
for
college
kids.
They
didn't
have
an
internship
high
school
kids
and
I
called
him
up.
G
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
I
think
we
should
do
if
you're
a
company
in
this
office
or
you
represent
I,
would
ask
you
to
go
back
and
ask
your
company
and
if
you
hire,
if
you
hire
summer
summer,
job
is
somebody
insured
program.
If
you
didn't
go
back
and
say
that
man
would
like
you
to
do
it,
you
can
reach
out
to
our
office,
but
or
you
see
it
from
our
office,
let
her
know
we
will
do
it
will
call
them
we'll
follow
up,
but
that's
a
couple
things
I
think
real
quickly.
F
E
Hi,
thank
you
for
having
us.
John
and
Christine
were
from
Allen
&
Garretson
a
ad
agency
in
Boston
right
in
Seaport,
and
we
are
here
to
talk
about
some
research
that
we've
been
doing
with
our
clients,
Pine
Street
Inn,
and
the
work
that
they've
done
for
housing
homeless,
and
we
realized
that
there
was
a
really
interesting
pattern
that
we
saw.
And
that
is
that,
if
you
don't
have
an
address,
you
can't
get
a
job.
And
if
you
don't
have
a
job,
you
can't
get
an
address,
and
so
we've
discovered.
I
So
basically,
you
know
in
today's,
like
increasingly
digital
world,
in
order
to
apply
for
a
job,
you
must
do
so
online
that
especially
accounts
for
the
top
40
employers
in
America,
so
things
like
Target,
Starbucks
and
etc.
You
have
to
apply
it
digitally
and
what
happens
if
you
apply
digitally
is
next
to
the
fields
like
address
and
phone
number.
There
are
mandatory
asterisks,
meaning
you
have
to
fill
that
out
and
what
happens?
E
I
B
H
David
Ellwood
former
dean
of
the
Harvard
school
government,
said
everybody
out
to
have
a
chance
to
grow
up
in
an
opportunity.
Neighborhood
Boston
is
a
great
city.
We
attract
people
from
all
over
the
country
and
the
world.
This
magnetism
towards
our
culture
and
economy
is
phenomenal,
but
it
is
also
gentrifying
our
inner
cities.
What
the
added
resources
that
judgment
ation
brings.
It
is
displacing
our
poor,
the
affordable
units
to
section
8.
H
The
public
housing
are
all
great
and
designed
to
help
people
out
of
poverty
by
lending
a
hand
in
this
we
also
see
the
cycle
of
generational
poverty
or
systemic
poverty.
There
is
a
big
disparity
between
children
raised
in
poverty
and
children
with
resources
and
access.
Ask
mecco
our
busing
system
chapter
brocation
transforms
our
communities
in
positive
ways.
It
also
further
perpetuates
the
cycle
of
poverty,
highlighting
both
the
lack
of
economic
resources
and
social
capital.
How
do
we
connect?
How
do
we
combat
systemic
poverty
in
boston
and
ensure
a
better
future
for
our
children?
H
My
skilled
life,
a
class
added
to
the
BPS
curriculum
designed
to
increase
the
intellectual
capital
of
our
kids.
This
class
will
begin
in
the
first
grade
and
follow
the
student
throughout
their
bps
career.
I
should
know.
I
was
a
PPI
throughout
my
entire
career,
broken
down
in
three
parts,
with
the
topics
being
taught
in
trimester
style,
financial
literacy,
health
and
cultural,
which
encompasses
music,
art
politics
and
the
global
economy
cater
to
age
and
grade
level.
This
will
aid
in
the
creation
of
the
future,
where
our
low-income
students
will
then
become
contributing.
O
Hello:
everyone
happy
Thursday.
My
name
is
Corey
de
pinna
I'm,
a
teaching
artist
manager
and
founding
member
of
an
amazing
nonprofit.
Here
in
East
Boston
called
zoomix
over
the
last
20
years.
I
have
lived
and
seen
the
impact
that
art
plays
in
all
communities.
My
vision
is
for
you
to
continue
to
support
an
increase
arts,
education
and
funding
through
great
community
supported
efforts
like
Ed
vesser's
and
the
new
shop
syndicate.
O
M
Quickly,
how
many
folks
know
where's
get
a
good,
penne
or
pasta
herring,
Boston
yeah,
a
good
patty?
Yes,
how
about
good,
ravioli,
good
roti,
we're
seeing
some
differences
here
so
I'll
get
to
the
differences.
Mr.
mayor
you'll,
even
when
a
roti
is
right,
you're
like
what's
that
no
worries,
so
you
cost
some
average
of
both
half-a-million-dollar
to
start
a
restaurant
here
in
Boston,
more
in
a
prime
location
like
downtown,
most
businesses
tend
to
be
established
owned
by
white
chefs
and
usually
with
folks
who
have
lots
of
resources
and
access
to
capital.
Most
Boston.
M
Restaurants
have
abundance
of
steak
houses,
seafood,
pasta
and
pizza
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
those
options,
but
there's
other
food.
Ethnic
food,
immigrant
food
food
in
overabundance,
in
low-income,
neighborhoods,
I,
tend
to
be
of
low
quality,
tend
to
be
under
valid
under
misunderstood
or
under
presented
with
low
customer
service
or
almost
never
have
a
liquor
license.
There
is
a
plethora
of
other
foods
around
the
world
and
Bostonians
want
to
have
that.
I
am
Tamika
Francis,
the
founder
of
food
and
folklore.
We
currently
offer
pay
homage
to
global
food
cuisines
through
dinners
and
culinary
classes.
M
My
big
vision
for
Boston
is
to
open
a
dance
for
Test
Kitchen,
a
space
where
young
Chefs
of
color
can
test
their
concepts
through
a
rotating
shift
agreement
where
they're
able
to
incubate
their
ideas
before
launching
in
a
big
space
offering
patrons
and
supporters
a
space
to
offer
more
food.
A
more
diverse
food
scene
here
in
Boston
and
more
welcoming
food
environment
for
Bostonians.
P
Good
afternoon,
I
represent
Alfa
the
association
of
Latino
professionals
for
America.
We
have
over
90,000
members
across
the
country
over
6,000
here
in
Boston,
and
we
have
over
30
corporate
sponsors
just
here
in
the
Boston
chapter,
my
name
is
Mario
Rivera
I'm,
the
incoming
president
of
the
Alpha
Boston
chapter,
my
I
work
in
financial
services,
so
my
reality
is
that
when
I
go
to
work
at
200
in
most
people
checking
in
that
day,
don't
look
like
this
as
diverse.
P
So
my
vision
for
Boston
is
that
for
corporate
America
in
Boston
to
look
a
lot
more
like
this
room
alpha.
We
work
in
business
and
technology
and
healthcare,
some
of
the
most
important
industries
that
also
pay
great
wages
for
people
of
color.
So
if
my
vision
is
for
those
industries
to
become
a
lot
more
diverse,
it's
gonna
take
a
lot
to
get
there,
but
one
of
the
things
that
could
really
help
is
get
greater
representation
at
the
top
of
those
companies.
P
So
my
ask
here
today,
mayor
Walsh
is
to
offer
pledge
to
Boston
based
companies
to
sign
up
for
the
Rooney
rule
no
affiliation.
But
what
that
means
is
is
that
they
agree
to
interview
at
least
one
person
of
color
for
their
most
senior
level
positions.
I
have
greater
representation
advocacy
at
the
top
and
I
think
it
will
open
a
lot
of
doors
for
us.
D
N
G
N
A
funny
story,
but
it's
definitely
a
common
theme
amongst
Asian
entrepreneurs.
A
lot
of
things
that
make
American
successful
like
taking
risks,
self-confidence,
self-expression
are
things
that
are
not
taught
in
Asian
culture
and
actually
are
looked
down
upon
so,
and
this
is
borne
out
in
a
lot
of
the
statistics
with
Asian
entrepreneurship,
you
see
a
lot
of
the
Asian
small
businesses
have
the
lowest
average
number
of
employees
and
the
lowest
amount
of
revenue,
and
you
can
see
them
struggle
to
scale.
N
You
see
a
lot
of
momma
pops
like
laundromats
restaurants,
I
mean
it
drops
back
to
some
of
those
cultural
background.
You
also
see
a
lot
of
them,
so
the
also
the
Asian
ethnicity
group
as
a
whole
receives
the
least
amount
of
funding
from
nonprofits
corporations
and
governments
of
any
kind
organization,
and
that's
especially
problematic,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
people
see
as
Asians
as
doing
well
in
America.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
challenges
we
have,
particularly
with
the
Cambodian,
the
Hmong,
the
Vietnamese
populations.
N
What
we
do
is
we
do
a
lot
of
advocacy
work
with
DC.
We
have
a
policy
document
representing
the
business
interests
of
Asian
Americans,
and
then
we
do
a
lot
of
programming
specifically
targeted
to
the
challenges
of
Asian.
Americans
have,
and
actually
you
know,
mayor
Walsh
did
a
great
job
with
when
you
do
for
the
Asian
community.
So
thank
you.
A
lot
love
what
you
do
with
smart
Boston.
Just
make
sure
you,
you
know
business
leaders
I
mean.
F
A
D
A
rapid-fire,
a
couple
of
the
suggestions
with
the
drop
the
address
or
around
the
Bruni
rule
has
talking
about
divers
to
find
the
workforce.
One
did
you
want
to
comment
specifically
on
those
particular
dishes
about
dropping
the
address
so
that
it
could
be
more
equitable
in
the
hiring
process
and
with
the
ruining
role?
What.
G
Drop
to
address
I
think
that
we
do.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
now
collaborative
work
with
with
the
pine
tree
and
all
the
homeless
facilities
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I
love.
The
idea
of
Halloween
not
just
drop
the
address,
but
how
do
we
create
opportunities
for
job
training?
Some
people,
some
people,
but
not
all
work
for
a
while,
so
love
to
talk
to
you
more
about
that
I
know
all
in
the
city
of
Boston,
I
am
assuming
we've
hired
people
have
been
homeless.
G
G
Let
me
come
jump
around
for
a
minute
on
the
Latino
Network
and
the
Asian
community
I
think
it's
really
important
to
understand
that.
There's
a
lot
of
different
organizations.
Now
when
I
say
organizations
them
the
groups
that
are
signing
to
go
out
and
create
organizations.
We
have
the
Coverity
police
offices
in
Boston,
we
have
Latino
groups,
we
have
a
lot
of
different
ethnic
groups
that
are
there
creating
opportunities,
whether
this
appointment
or
so
the
Public
Safety.
What
have
you
I
love
the
idea
of
challenging
the
business
community
for
the
rudy
room?
G
G
Businesses
have
been
more
more
a
lot
of
businesses
now
Barcena
looking
to
diversify
their
boards.
It
happened
before,
and
you
know,
they're
looking
for
people
to
be
involved
and
I
also
think
that
we
have
to
go
up.
You
have
to
go
my
challenge
back
to
both
of
you
and
other
people
in
our
office
is
let
people
know
was
out
there.
When
I
became
the
mayor,
we
were
putting
people
on
boards
and
it
was
always
the
same
name
no
disrespect,
but
it
was
always
people
like
the
same.
G
We
need
we
need
to
diversify,
because
we
have
young
people,
the
city,
that
that
might
not
be
as
popular
as
famous
or
whatever
is
as
these
two
people
are,
but
they
can
bring
the
same
if
not
more
value
to
a
board.
So
I
think
we
have
to
talk
about
networking
and
how
do
we
get
some
some
people
out
there,
because
it's
not
just
at
the
head
of
the
company,
if
you
don't
start
to
integrate
the
board
and
diversify
the
board,
you're
not
going
to
get
some
time
and
it's
like
anything.
G
D
F
D
G
Don't
remember
the
I
know
box
it
creates,
but
I
wasn't
aware
that
we
did
not
target
teenagers
in
that
and
then
report
them,
but
is
that
that
proposed
really
driven
by
the
arts
community?
So
that
was
a
honestly
problem.
The
beauty
about
the
roster
creates
is
that
it's
a
living
breathing
document,
so
it
could
be
reinvented
and
changed
so
I
think
we
should,
when
it
comes
to
funding
for
Arts
Boston
reinvesting
we're
building
a
bring
over
bronze
announced
economy.
That's
high
school,
we
the
cream
in
high
school
in
the
country.
So
they
did.
G
That's
that's
a
strong
sign,
I
think
when
it
comes
to
funding
and
grant
programs.
So
we
have
food
through
through
our
own
NASA
culture
cabinet.
The
money
is
not
limited
to
adults.
The
money
is
limited
to
any
organization.
Anybody
who
applies
for
it
and
we
give
over
these
many
grants
and
we're
doing
the
more
that
we're
doing
some
next
week
to
12th
and
doing
another
rounds
so
that.
G
G
When
it
comes
to
schools,
I
mean
the
priority
is:
do
we
want
to
get
arts
in
every
school
and
it's
kind
of
thinking
about
some
schools
to
another
room,
and
so,
if
we
don't
have
a
formal
program,
if
you
know
per
se
in
all
of
our
schools
across
the
moor,
that's
something
that
we
have
to
work
with
the
superintendent
and
the
school
committee
on
as
we
move
forward.
We
have
some
big
challenges
of
not
making
excuses.
We
have
big
challenges.
Our
sports
programs
are
probably
underfunded.
G
This
year
it
took
us,
you
know,
from
the
existence
of
schools,
we
have
a
school
nurse
and
every
school
now
Boston.
This
is
the
first
time
in
history,
our
school.
We
have
to
do
more
counseling
or
guidance
counselor's.
So
there's
a
lot
of
needs
here
and
I
think
it
really
is
about.
How
do
we
come
up
with
a
program
that
works?
Do
we
kind
of
with
plays
leagues,
don't
mix?
It
was
amazing
to
do
you
know,
maybe
proud
of
these
Boston
schools.
G
We
have
Commonwealth
kitchen
in
our
city,
we
have
a
program
on
carbon
square
in
our
city.
We
have
a
program
down
by
melanin
at
Mass
in
our
city
and
I.
Think
maybe
one
or
two
of
those
programs
could
need
a
little
boost.
The
help
and
I
think
partnering
with
something
like
that
would
be
key.
I
think
that's
the
so
key
we
are
setting
up
and
we
have
set
up
within
this
with
economic
development
opportunities
to
help
people
create
restaurants.
We
have
liquor
licenses
that
we
want
to
give
to
businesses
of
color.
G
We
have
that's,
not
the
problem.
The
problem
is
that
it's
it's
it's
it's.
How
do
we?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
businesses
can
to
get
the
business
support?
They
need
to
be
supportive.
You
should
talk
to
Natalia
right
here
before
you
leave,
but
I
love
that
I
did
because
I
think
it's
on
it's
so
true,
although
I
would
disagree.
One
thing
we
have
some
unbelievable
ethnic
restaurants
in
the
city
of
Boston.
That
might
not
look
it
from
the
outside
because
we're
trying
to
help
them,
but
the
storefronts
they
might
not
have
the
fancy.
G
You
know
Capital
Grille
storefront,
but
the
food.
The
quality
of
food
inside
is
as
good
as
any
restaurant.
You
have
in
the
city,
so
I
think
it's.
How
do
we
promote
those
restaurants
and
the
bus
shoe?
And
how
do
we
also
get
several
box
I'm
Liz
I'm,
an
Irish
I
grew
up
an
Irish
household
about
you
know.
In
the
last
10
years,
I've
tried
more
food
than
any
other
time
of
my
life.
You
know
I'm
being
eaten
today
this
every
night,
vegetables
every
night,
so
it
is
about
getting
people
that
experience
to
experience.
G
G
G
G
That
we
in
the
city
my
office
in
John's
office
and
everyone
else's
office,
including
Germany's
office,
we
have
to
make
some
real
advancements
on
that
and
I
think
it
starts.
It
goes
back
to
education,
creating
opportunities
and
making
sure
people
have
a
good,
solid
foundation.
You
know:
what's
happened
if
the
the
systemic
poverty
I
think
is.
Is
you
know
when
you
ask
the
family
member,
whether
it's
the
child
of
the
parent
or
the
grandparent?
Maybe
the
grave
of
care
parent
most
of
them
stop
school
at
a
certain
age
and
start
opportunity.
Some.
G
Quite
honestly-
and
it's
it's
lack
of
opportunity,
some
of
it
is
a
whole
bunch
of
reasons
and
I
think
we
have
this
thought
you
know
figuring
out
and
because
that's
one
of
the
first
questions
that
was
asked
me
earlier
about
education.
The
first
woman
that
asked
the
question
about
is
there
opportunity
to
employ?
Don't
go
to
college
back
when
the
immigrants
came
to
this
country
back
on
the
day,
many
of
our
instead
of
here
they
work
two
and
three
jobs
and
they
raised
a
family
with
it.
They
don't
have
a
college
degree.
G
G
Listen
I
love
the
businesses
of
Boston
I
did
great
and
they
do
great
things
and
then,
when
I
call
them
for
something
they
give
it
to
us,
but
I
think
they
also
have
a
responsibility
to
really
take
a
deeper
look
inside
their
own
company
and
say:
how
do
we
really
create
opportunities
for
folks
to
be
able
to?
Actually
you
can
earn
a
living
to
raise
a
family?
You
know
the
difference
between
making
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
$80,000
a
year.
First
is
a
big
difference,
even.
G
And
I
think
having
these
companies
understand
that
that's
so
important.
You
know
you
pay
the
people
to
chop.
While
you
want
another
one,
these
people
that
say,
oh
I,
can't
believe.
How
much
do
you
pay
I?
Want
you
to
share
that
wealth
throughout
the
company
and
I?
Want
you
to
share
that
wealth
with
people
that
might
not
have
had
the
opportunity.

G
Contact
us
in
City
Hall,
let
us
know
you
might
think
it's
an
idea
that
it's
off
the
wall,
it
doesn't
matter.
It's
just
just
contact
us.
If
everyone,
the
room
that
works
the
city
is
reaching
in
just
so,
we
know
we
have
a
bunch
of
people
here,
grab
somebody
that's
here,
anything
you
have
for
an
idea.
Just
let
us
know
you
don't
know
what
ID
you
might
have
that
could
turn
into
a
brilliant
idea
or
a
brilliant
policy,
or
something
that
we're
going
to
do
and
the
same.
G
If
you
have
ideas
for
Jim,
you
know
Jimmy
Rooney
snaps
here,
but
grabbed
one
of
my
guys
as
well.
For
that
and
you
know
whatever,
whatever
idea
we
keep
everything
around,
it's
so
important.
I
meant
what
I
said,
and
with
this
you
were
the
future
of
the
city
you're,
the
future
of
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
issues
that
were
battling
today,
whether
it's
racism,
inequality
of
polity
or
gentrification,
lack
of
housing,
lack
of
employment.
All
those
issues
a
hundred
years
ago,
somebody
could
have
sat
in
this
seat
and
said
talking
about
the
same
issues.
G
25
years
later,
the
same
person
who
sat
in
the
seat
talk
about
the
same
issues.
50
years
later,
that's
the
same
issue,
75
years
later,
the
same
issue
and
100
years
later,
it's
some
of
the
same
issues
in
different
with
different
different
definitions,
and
if
we
don't
honestly
continue
to
do
the
work
we're
doing
in
the
next
hundred
years,
somebody's
gonna
sit
at
this
seat
and
then
they'll
be
talking
about
gentrification,
and
we
talk
about
lack
of
opportunity
and
systemic
poverty
and
all
the
issues
of
a
dark
one.
G
A
A
Really
tremendous
as
I
was
listening.
I
was
reflecting
on
the
way
to
Mayo
open
the
conversation
by
talking
about
leadership
and
wanting
to
be
a
leader
and
I.
Think
that
there's
been
several
demonstrations
of
leadership
today
and
what
it
means
I
mean
it's
enough.
It's
one
thing
to
want
to
be
arena
and
want
to
stand
at
the
front
of
the
room,
but
a
being
willing
to
sit
up
here
and
listen
and
have
a
dialogue
like
this
I
have
seen
over
the
past,
so
many
rooms
that
mayor
Walsh
has
walked
into.
A
A
He
will
be
doing
it
in
a
month
or
so
it'll
be
about
800
people
in
the
room
and
I
can
tell
you
the
last
three,
as
he
stood
up
there
with
a
microphone
and
challenged
the
business
community
on
issues
of
diversity
and
inclusion
on
their
role
in
climate
readiness
and
on
their
partnership.
With
the
Boston
Public
Schools
and
the
degree
to
which
we
are
not
Boston,
Public
Schools,
so
using
that
position
of
leadership
to
call
people
out
in
to
challenge
people
to
step
up
in
ways
is
another
dimension
of
leadership
and.
A
O
A
E
A
Are
going
to
do
this
alone
and
it
takes
all
of
us
partnerships
in
different
sectors,
about
economy,
government,
the
business
community
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
leaders
like
yourself
finding
your
voice
and
saying
this
is
the
boss
that
we
want
so
mayor
Walsh.
Once
again,
thank
you
for
being
a
leader
that
you've
become
employed
driving
this
city
forward
in
the
way
that
everyone.
