A
A
Morning,
everybody
yeah
we
drew
straws
us
to
who
got
to
follow.
Jaziri,
listen,
we're
already
behind
so
I'm,
going
to
try
and
speed
this
up.
But
the
conversation
today
is
about
who
this
city
is
for
and
who
gets
to
participate
in
it
and
who
gets
to
share
the
upside
of
the
amazing
change
that
we're
beginning
to
feel
so.
A
A
Her
experience
coming
home
from
one
of
our
meetings
last
week,
driving
from
Pittsburgh
to
DC
and
being
pulled
over
by
a
police
officer
and
panicking
as
she
reached
to
make
sure
that
she
had
her
registration
and
her
license
in
her
hand
when
the
officer
came
to
her
window
so
that
she
wouldn't
have
to
reach
every
one
of
you
know
stories
like
this.
We
know
the
more
severe
stories
we
know
the
ones
that
make
the
national
news.
A
A
I
want
you
to
think
for
a
moment
about
the
national
political
dialogue
and
having
people
joke
about
taking
away
your
suffrage.
How
many
of
the
men
in
this
room
would
be
okay
with
being
treated
the
way
women
in
our
community
and
society
or
stand?
If
you
want
to
sign
up
for
that?
Yeah!
That's
for
me!.
A
No
one
want
to
talk
to
the
straight
people
in
the
room
for
a
moment.
The
the
folks
who
are
not
members
of
the
LGBT
community
and
I
want
you
to
think
for
a
moment
about
national
political
scene
in
which
people
are
actively
on
the
state,
local
and
national
level,
trying
to
take
away
not
just
your
right
to
marry,
but
your
Mary
we're
trying
to
legislate
what
bathrooms
you
can
use
where
you
are
acceptable.
What
about
you
is
actually
legitimately
human?
A
Who
here
would
like
to
sign
up
to
be
treated
the
way
that
the
LGBT
community
so
often
is
in
our
community
and
in
the
country?
Sorry
I
have
to
do
this
because
I
can't
really
see
you,
but
I,
don't
really
need
to
in
order
to
know
that
you
aren't
standing
I
want
you
to
think
for
a
moment
if
you're
not
currently
disabled
in
any
way,
you're
not
suffering
from
any
sort
of
disability
about
what
it's
like
to
have
to
navigate
every
day.
A
The
barriers
that
life
has
brought
you
because
of
issues
around
mobility
or
sight
or
hearing
or
any
other
number
of
challenges
that
you
may
face,
and
on
top
of
that,
you
have
to
deal
with
people
telling
you
what
you're
capable
of
what
you're
good
at
and
even
now
put
up
with
mockery
on
the
national
stage.
How
many
of
us
want
to
sign
up
for
that?
A
A
A
It's
hard
to
do
something.
You
know
you
look
at
the
the
evolution
of
the
black
lives
matter,
movement
and
the
protests
in
Ferguson
and
Baltimore
people
get
angry
about
that,
because
those
protests
are
scary,
all
right,
fine,
so
black
lives
matter
articulates
a
an
agenda
and
they
organize
and
people
get
mad
at
that,
because
that's
scary
and
then
call
Colin
Kaepernick
decides
to
kneel
that's
peaceful
right.
It
should
be
okay,
but
then
no
that's
scary.
A
We
will
always
be
told
that
trying
to
change
something
is
scary.
That's
precisely
the
task
that
lies
before
us
of
where
you're
going
to
be
serious,
about
creating
an
inclusive
and
genuinely
all
in
Pittsburgh,
a
genuinely
just
community.
The
other
day
I
had
the
opportunity
to
sit
with
a
rapper
named
Piper,
who
performs
with
a
band
called
flip
side
on
the
west
coast.
A
It
goes
now
by
the
name
Jay
Ferreira,
which
is
actual
given
name,
and
he
is
a
cop
as
well
as
a
performing
artist
and
I
asked
him
what
it's
like
to
be
a
black
lives
matter,
activists
and
a
cop
at
the
same
time-
and
he
said,
look,
this
is
what
I
tell
people
whenever
they
ask
me
about
black
lives
matter.
If
you
look
at
the
history
in
this
country,
every
time
black
folks
have
stood
up
for
their
rights,
everybody
in
the
culture
has
benefited.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
people
wearing
the
uniform.
Today
he
told
me
who
wouldn't
be
wearing
the
uniform
if
they,
if
there
hadn't
been
the
civil
rights
movement
and
that's
not
just
black
people
and
I
would
submit
that.
The
same
is
true
of
every
movement
that
we've
seen
the
women's
the
women's
rights
movement,
the
LGBTQ
movement,
to
bring
greater
dignity
and
inclusion
to
our
culture.
We
all
benefit
it's
sometimes
hard
to
wrap
our
minds
around
at
the
risk
of
quoting
another
old
white
man.
A
I
want
to
quote
the
pope
for
a
moment
from
his
latest
encyclical.
The
laudato
si
an
amazing
piece
of
work.
If
you
haven't
read
it,
but
one
of
the
things
he
says
in
there
is.
We
are
one
single
human
family.
There
are
no
frontiers
or
barriers,
political
or
social
behind
which
we
can
hide
still
less.
Is
there
room
for
the
globalization
of
indifference.
A
All
of
you
are
the
most
important
people
at
this
conference
today,
because
this
is
about
how
we
take
on
not
just
the
globalization
of
indifference,
but
the
localization
of
indifference.
So
to
get
this
conference
started
I'd
like
you
all,
to
stand
for
a
moment
if
you're
able
this
is
the
interactive
part.
Please
stand.
A
Here's
the
truth
that
you
all
we
all
together
have
to
hold
on
to
we're
living
in
a
magical
time
in
this
community.
For
the
first
time
in
a
generation,
things
are
changing
and
moving,
and
yes,
that's
scary,
and
yes,
it
brings
up
challenges
and,
yes,
it
can
make
us
angry
at
times.
And
yes,
there
is
racism
and
venomous
hatred
afoot
in
the
country,
but
we
all
around
this
room
get
to
be
the
generation
that
decides
which
side
wins.
A
We
in
this
generation
in
Pittsburgh
get
to
decide
the
type
of
community
we
create
and
whether
it
looks
like
the
video
that
Andre
shared
or
whether
it
looks
more
like
the
folks
in
this
room
and
I.
Think
I
know
where
the
folks
in
this
room
want
to
go
so
here's
the
charge.
For
today
this
is
not
about
being
entertained.
This
is
about
engaging
in
the
ideas.
A
Hopefully,
we've
put
together
a
group
of
speakers
who
will
challenge
you
and
inform
you,
and
the
speakers
by
the
way
will
include
both
national
and
local
speakers,
because
that's
part
of
the
feedback
that
we
got
last
time
that
we'd
like
to
see
more
of
the
local
genius,
as
well
as
the
national
genius,
so
listen
to
that,
but
then
participate
in
the
conversations
because
here's
the
goal.
What
we
want
is
that
at
some
point
down
the
road
when
a
similar
set
of
questions
is
asked
about,
would
you
stand
in
the
shoes
of
another
this?
