Good

and
welcome
to

of
city
council
for
tuesday
september,

Will
the
clerk
please
take
the
roll
call
reverend.
C
A
B
B
Okay,
our
next
order
of
business
is
proclamations
and
we
also
have
a
will
of
counsel.
Can
we
have
the
first
proclamation,
madam
clerk?
I
think
it's
customer
levels.
B
D
C
E
Yes,
madam
president,
you
know,
as
you
know,
all
of
our
districts
plagued
with
some
sort
of
opioid
issues,
particularly
me
up
in
carrick
and
councilman
krause's
part
of
his
district
in
mount
oliver
and
down
brownsville
road
there.
So
this
really
is
about
the
verbiage
centered
around
it.
You
know,
we've
supported
measures
like
prevention
point
and
everything
we
can
do
to
really
curb
it,
and
numbers
have
shown
that
you
know
it's
turning
around.
E
We
hope
that
that
stays
consistent,
but
but
I
think
most
of
you,
I
think
you
all
got
this
and
I'd
appreciate
anybody
who
signs
up
and
it's
really
about
taking
the
pledges
to
verbiage
around
the
stigma
of
you
know,
drug
use.
So
thanks,
hey.
D
Councilman,
yes,
sir,
so
when
we
sign
up,
how
do
we
submit
this?
Can
we
do
it
online
or
do
we
have
to
actually
do
a
physical?
You
know,
because
you
attach
the
the
application,
if
you
will
to
the
to
the
proclamation,
do
we
do
it
physically
or
is
there
a
place
to
do
it
online.
B
B
A
F
The
time
is
now
to
be
intentional
about
how
the
indigenous
people
will
be
included
in
the
conversation
on
all
things
concerning
america
and
specifically
how
foreigners
are
to
conduct
themselves
in
our
land.
We
are
the
aboriginal
american
people
and
we
have
various
treaties,
contracts,
declarations
and
covenants
that
have
set
the
tone
and
laid
the
foundation
as
the
agreement
for
how
people
are
to
conduct
themselves
in
our
land,
such
as
the
constitution.
F
You
will
not
tolerate
the
current
rhetoric
that
is
happening
in
america
long
ago
when
europeans
came
to
america
from
all
walks
of
life
fleeing
from
the
tyranny
and
slaughter
starvation
from
the
land
in
which
they
were
born.
F
F
Who
inflict
these
terrors
upon
the
indigenous
people
of
the
land.
F
F
F
Address
the
multiple
murders
in
the
city
that
have
taken
place
before
the
cameras
were
rolling
for
people
such
as
johnny
gamma,
jerry
jackson,
bernard
sanders,
david
streeter,
who
all
were
murdered
by
the
police,
also
to
include
my
brother,
jerome
smith,
who
tragically
lost
his
life
with
his
good
friend.
Michelle.
B
Thank
you,
and
we
have
the
next
speaker,
which
was
the
name
I
called
first
actually
ikohana
mao.
B
G
Is
this
coda
kota.
G
To
reject
assimilation
and
our
peoples
have
the
right
to
maintain,
express
and
freely
develop
our
cultural
identity
in
all
respects,
free
from
any
external
attempt
at
forced
assimilation
through
such
documents
as
birth
certificates
and
reclassification
over
the
years,
and
this
is
our
reaching
out
to
city
council
members
as
well
as
anybody
else
listening
on
the
line
to
start
to
work
and
to
promote
together
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
between
the
municipality
and
the
indigenous
peoples
of
this
land
of
america,
particularly
the
pittsburgh
area
for
a
more
harmonious
future.
And
I
yield
my
time.
Thank
you.
B
C
B
I
see
another
one
connected.
That's
all
I
just
want
to
make
sure
yeah
with
the
same
first
name
different
last
name,
okay,
so
we
move
on
to
our
next
order
of
business,
which

presentation
of
papers
seeing
those
no
further
registered
speakers,
we'll
move
on
to

burgess,

recreation.

office

B
H
First
of
all,
you
know
we
were
grateful
for
our
vice
president
and
our
democratic
presidential
nominee
for
coming
and
to
our
city
to
address
in
some
ways
some
of
the
or
race
relations
I
had
the
I
was
driving
yesterday
to
through
westmoreland
county,
and
I
think
sometimes
because
we
live
in
pittsburgh
in
a
fairly
liberal,
democratic
city.
H
We
forget
that
it
is
not
representative
of
our
country,
not
even
of
our
our
region.
As
I
was
driving
through
westmoreland
county,
there
were
huge
trump
signs
everywhere
there
were
billboards,
there
were
banners,
there
were
yard
signs,
it
was
just
flooded
and
then
I
was
you
know-
and
I
don't
think
about
this
so
often,
but
trump
is
arguably
the
most
overtly
racist
misogynistic
president
in
modern
history,
yet
in
november
trump
will
receive
the
majority
of
the
vote
for
white
white
americans.
H
So
I
think
that
we
don't
think
about
that
that
that
sometimes
I
know
people
get
tired
of
me
arguing
about
race
relations
in
this
country.
I've
been
arguing,
you
know
for
10
years
now
they
are
right,
saying
this,
but
the
majority
of
this
country,
the
majority
of
of
non-minorities,
have
a
significant
problem
with
race
you.
H
They
could
not
vote
for
this
president
without
having
that
underlying
significant
implicit
bias,
and
that's
why
the
work
is
so
important
and
it
is,
it
has
to
be
primary,
not
secondary,
not
third
of
all,
as
I
said
before,
black
being
black
underscores
every
other
problem.
If
you're
poor,
you
have
bad
outcomes
if
you're,
black
and
poor,
your
outcomes
will
be
worse
if
you're,
gay,
lesbian
and
trans,
sometimes
you
will
have
bad
outcomes,
but
if
you're,
black,
gay,
lesbian
and
trans
your
outcome
will
be
worse.
H
If
you
are,
if
you
are,
if
you
are
whatever
it
is,
you
know
you
add
the.
If
you're
a
woman,
your
outcomes
can
be
bad,
especially
a
single
mother
which,
with
children,
your
outcomes
will
be
bad,
but
if
you
add
block
to
it
and-
and
it
is,
it
is
the
issue
of
our
time.
It
is
the
single
most
important
issue.
It
has
been
it's
just
that
you
know,
because
we
have
the
majority
of
our
country
profits
from
the
from
institutional,
systematic
racism
has
profited
for
300
years.
They
never
want
to
have
the
conversation.
H
This
now
is
the
moment
of
my
life.
This
is
the
moment
of
our
country.
This
is
the
moment
of
our
times,
and
we
have
to
be
honest
that
that
our
country
is
indeed
embedded
saturated
institutionalized
with
racist
and
racist
actions.
This
doesn't
mean
now
doesn't
mean
that
they're
bad
people
I
want
to,
and
I
don't
always
make
that
clear.
I
think
the
book
white
fragility
talks
about
this
that,
just
because
you
do
racist
things
doesn't
make
you
a
bad
person.
H
You
do
it
based
on
your
own
enculturation,
because
it's
in
you
it's
it's,
you
know
you
grew
up
with
it
and
you
don't
think
of
yourself
that
way,
you,
you
know,
you're,
not
a
racist,
you
just
it's!
Okay,
it's
okay,
to
attack
black
men
without
proof
and
evidence.
It's
okay!
You
know
to
shoot
them
to
lynch
them.
It's
okay
to
you
know,
invent
vicious
rumors
about
them.
It's
okay,
because
that's
your
culture
and
I
think
we
we
in
in
and
we
it
has-
we
have
to
call
it
out.
H
H
We
have
one
of
the
best
police
forces
in
the
united
states
because
of
its
its
its
training.
The
changes
we've
made
over
the
last
10
years.
We
have
one
of
the
best
police
force
in
the
united
states.
The
problem
is
not
the
police.
The
problem
is
policing
policing,
it's
nature.
It's
it's
neo-military,
nature,
the
way
they're
trained
the
way
that
they're
there.
You
know
that
we
get
ex-military
people
and
give
them
a
priority
to
become
police.
All
of
that
neo-military
mindset
of
policing,
maybe
it's
time
is
over.
H
Europe
doesn't
have
this
view
of
policing.
There
are
various
places
in
the
world
where
this
this
model
of
police
doesn't
exist
but
exist
in
in
the
united
states.
That
is
pretty
much
connected
to
racism.
It
was
designed
from
its
beginning
to
be
a
place
of
keeping
black
people
in
their
place,
and
so
that
it
has.
These
outcomes
is
not
surprising,
so
I
just
want
to
give
really
more
of
our
our
listening
public,
a
view
of
what
we
must
do
working
for
it.
We
have
to
have
unc
uncomfortable
conversations.
H
You
know
budget
season's
coming
up
and
we
have
to
have
very
frank,
uncomfortable
conversations
about
what
it
means
to
move
our
city
forward,
what
it
means
to
make
black
pittsburgh
matters,
and
I'm
probably
now
going
to
start
talking
about
it
every
day,
because
it
is
the
moment
it
cannot.
This
is
the
this
is
the
issue
of
our
lifetime.
What
are
we
going
to
do
specifically
to
make
pittsburgh
a
inclusive
place,
knowing
that
it
is
deeply
in
rooted
that
they'll
marry
and
we
have
a
great
mayor?
H
We
have
great,
we
have
mostly
a
great
council,
but
it
is
it
is.
It
shows
its
head.
It
raises
its
ugly
head
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
so
we
have
to
take
it
on
head-on,
and
so
I
I
do
not
mean
to
be
offensive.
I
just
think
this
is
the
moment
to
have
this
conversation.
I
also
want
to
thank
erica
strasberger.
I
don't
know
that
people
know
how
thoughtful
she
has
been
on
this
issue
and
I
think,
has
been
a
clear
voice
for
inclusion
and
for
for
equity.
H
So
I
I
think
we
work
together.
It's
going
to
be
hard,
it's
going
to
be
uncomfortable,
but
that's
what
we
do.
This
is
the
moment
that
we
can
make
great
change,
but
knowing
that
the
change
we
make
will
be
different
than
the
rest
of
the
country
right,
there
are
pockets
of
the
country.
The
vast
majority
of
of
I
guess
said
before
of
places
in
this
country.
You
know,
have
real
significant
issues
and
I
just
driving
through
westmoreland
county.
I
was
just
I
wasn't
ready
for
it.
It
was
overwhelming
to
me
right.
H
It
was
just
so
in
your
face
and
there
was
you
know,
others
less
obvious
signs.
I
I
won't
go
into
that
at
length,
but
of
of
not
feeling
comfortable.
I
was
driving
with
my
niece
and
she
she
didn't
feel
comfortable.
I
didn't
feel
comfortable.
It
just
was
overwhelming
to
me.
I
just
didn't
expect
it
because
you
know
I'm
in
pittsburgh.
H
You
don't
see
that
here,
but
when
you
drive
out
of
our
city,
you
go
a
few
miles
you're
going
to
see
in
your
face
this,
this
sort
of
culture
where
trump
is
the
cheerleader
of
of
law
and
order,
keep
them
in
their
place.
Lock
them
up
throw
away
the
key.
So
I
wanted
to
at
least
say
that,
because
I
had
that
experience
yesterday
and
and
and
how
important
it
is
to
stay
in
this
moment
in
this
issue
week
after
week
after
week.
H
B
Thank
you
reverend.
Do
we
have
any
other
members
I'm
going
to
add
to
that
then
I
just
want
to
say
that.
Well,
actually,
we
actually
have
a
lot
of
trump
signs
on
this
side
of
town.
So
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
the
city
and-
and
yes
I
mean
it's
easy
to
say
it's
in
this-
it's
in
the
rural
communities
and
areas
outside
of
the
allegheny
county
area,
but
that's
not
actually
accurate.
I
mean
you
can
drive
around
here.
You
can
listen
to
people.
B
I
think
people
were
just
fed
up
on
all
sides
and
looking
for
something
extreme
and
and
on
both
sides,
and
I
think
that
that
the
reason
I
want
us
to
work
together
is
because
I
think
that
we'll
get
to
a
place
where
all
sides
are
represented
and
we
come
to
a
middle
ground
somewhere,
where
we
make
sure
that
we're
accomplishing
the
goals
that
we
want
collectively,
and
you
know,
I
think
that
we
have
to
have
some
uncomfortable
conversations.
But
what
I
want
us
to
do
is
have
those
conversa.
B
I
want
us
to
have
those
conversations.
I
want
us
to
be
able
to
talk
about
things
that
we
need
to
change
and
things
and
and
things
we
want
to
change.
I
don't
want
to
see
us
throwing
legislation
out
without
a
real,
comprehensive
conversation
and
a
look
at
what
we
need
to
change
in
terms
of
policing
and
other
things
across
the
city.
I
mean
little
things
that
I've
talked
to
chief
of
staff
gilman
about.
He
did
make
some
changes
on
having
to
have
a
driver's
license
to
be
hired
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
B
When
you
know
you
might
have
four
people
to
be
in
a
truck
to
do,
public
works
things
and
we're
preventing
people
from
being
hired
if
they
don't
have
a
driver's
license
and
oftentimes
it
is
in
the
minority
community
where
people
don't
have
a
driver's
license.
So
I
think
things
like
that.
It
can't
just
be
policing
if
we're
going
to
really
make
a
change
it
has
to
be.
B
We
have
to
look
at
everything
and
we
have
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
all
voices,
even
those
who
disagree-
and
I
think
that
we've
got
to
come
to
some
way-
that
we
may
either
help
people
understand
or
work
to
understand
better
ourselves.
What
we
need
to
do
so,
I'm
really
ready
to
have
those
conversations.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
it
together
so
that
we're
really
representing
the
people
and
not
our
own
agendas.
So
with
that
said,
there's
no
other
comments
from
members.
