Pittsburgh
wasn't

famous

our
Cultural
District

amazing
things
that
we
see
in
downtown

for
the
past
21
years
this

popular

several
highly
successful
artistic
mergers
with
the
cultural

helped
to
help
the
growth
of
several
cultural
non-profits.
Mr
McMahon
also
paved
the
way
for
the
commercial
and
residential
development
in
downtown
Pittsburgh.
A
Only

the
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh

a
motion

A
F
Very
few
words:
first
council
president,
thank
you
very
much
and
members
of
council
I
really
really
appreciate
this,
and
it's
very
much
I
take
this
as
a
as
a
thank
you
to
the
entire
team.
Many
many
other
folks
deserve
this
far
more
than
I
do,
and
we
all
want
you
to
know
that
we're
doing
this
all
because
we
love
this
city
so
very
much
and
we
love
the
people
of
Pittsburgh.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this
great
honor
foreign.
H
I'm
Ron
and
Nesbitt
Executive
Vice
President
of
the
Pittsburgh
cultural
trust
and
I've
been
fortunate
enough
to
work
with
with
Kevin
for
his
entire
tenure.
I
kind
of
came
with
the
trust
having
been
hired
by
Carol
Brown.
So
I
was
like
the
furniture,
but
it's
been
a
really
wonderful
honor
to
be
able
to
do
what
we've
been
able
to
do
with
this,
for
the
city
and
for
the
region
under
Kevin's
leadership.
I
J
K
L
C
M
For
better
it
was
a,
it
was
really
interesting
and
fun
to
have
it
here.
As
I
told
you
earlier,
you
know
I
frequent,
the
Theater
District,
often
and
you've
really
transformed
that
place
where
it's
now
I
believe
one
of
our
best
tourist
attractions
everywhere
I
go
people
who
come
to
town,
they
love
to
catch,
shows
down
there.
So
so
you
did
a
really
great
job
and
it's
really
great
to
see
a
fantastic
team
behind
you
and
I
know
that
things
are
going
to
go
with
out.
O
Thank
you,
congratulations,
Mr
McMahon!
Sometimes
people
don't
recognize
because
I've
been
in
this
role
now
for
nine
years.
That
long
long
ago
we
overlapped
for
just
a
month
or
two
at
the
Arts
community.
So
I
was
the
first
executive
director
of
the
Greater
Pittsburgh
Arts
Alliance,
that
convened
the
Breakfast
Buddies
and
the
small
and
medium
Arts
Coalition
and
brought
them
together.
A
P
I
saw
one
just
got
an
r-cap
award
yesterday,
so
congratulations
on
the
potential
conversion
to
the
cinema,
downtown,
which
will
be
Again
part
of
creating
a
true
neighborhood
downtown,
and
then
there's
also
this
one
wonderful
block
around
9th
Street
between
Duquesne
Boulevard
and
Penn
Avenue.
There
will
also
be
a
signature
of
your
of
your
legacy
and
your
in
the
work
that
you've
done
over
the
years.
So
thank
you
for
all.
You've
done
to
help
transform
and
truly
trade
a
vibrant
downtown.
Thank.
E
It's
helped
small
businesses,
one
of
my
favorite
memories
is
I
mean
it
happens,
often
is
going
to
the
theater,
maybe
to
a
show
on
a
Friday
night
and
maybe
there's
a
or
a
Saturday
night,
maybe
there's
a
baseball
game
at
the
same
time,
and
and
it's
warm
outside
and
they're
just
people-
you
know
you
don't
even
have
to
have
anything
to
do.
You
can
just
walk
around
downtown
and
feel
incredibly
like
you're
in
the
mix
like
you're
in
the
mix
with
the
people
downtown.
You
can
see
the
vibrancy
of
of
that
area.
E
Q
F
Q
A
A
R
Councilwoman
gross
presents,
whereas
Pittsburgh
and
other
cities
across
Pennsylvania
have
seen
a
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
incarcerated
women
and
people
who
may
have
become
pregnant
over
the
past
three
decades.
The
dignity
for
incarcerated
women
act
would
update
oversight
and
protections
in
light
of
this
population
rise
that
has
led
to
the
inhumane
treatment.
Excuse
me
of
incarcerated
women,
who
are
disproportionately
black.
R
First
introduced
the
dignity
for
incarcerated
women
act
in
Congress
and
whereas
three
of
the
provisions
of
the
federal
bills
were
included
in
a
larger
criminal
justice
package
that
was
signed
into
law
in
December
2018,
also
known
as
the
first
stepped
act
number
one
to
effectively
ban
the
slacking
of
pregnant
women
to
require
incarcerated
individuals
be
placed
within
500
miles
of
the
nearest
family.
Member
and
three

tampons
and
pads
to
all
women.
R
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I,
and
thank
all
council
members
for
your
support
and
that
there
are
people
here
from
the
Coalition
who'll
be
coming
to
public
comment
and
I
just
want
to
thank
them
for
bringing
this
forward
to
our
attention.
So
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
can
send
an
official
message
to
our
general
assembly
that
they
should
pass
this
bill,
and-
and
these
are
just
basic
human
rights
protections
that
we're
happy
to
speak
up
for
so
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.

Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
at
this.
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
condemns
the
actions
of
the
owners
in
management
of
the
Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette
for
choosing
profits
over
the
needs
of
their
workers
and
that
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
stands
in
solidarity
with
all
Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette
Strikers
and
be
it
even
further
resolved
that
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
does
hereby
call
on
block
Communications
and
the
management
of
the
Post-Gazette
to
recognize
the
value
of
their

and
fashion

S
Councilman
thanks
Madam

the
Post-Gazette

So
thank

puts
an
end
to
it.

You

none
of
you
came
to
me
and
said
this
was
wrong.
What
was
done?
The
false
arrest,
the
fake
investigation,
the
incarceration
for
12
hours
in
Allegheny,
County
Jail.
All
of
that
none
of
you,
none
of
you

had
enough
civility
to
approach
me
about
this.
C
T
A
lawsuit
was
filed
and
one
on
behalf
of
these
women
and
the
judges
ruled
that
this
practice
was
deceased.
However,
we
have
reports
that
are
still
continuing.
Many
pregnant
women
are
diagnosed
with
gestational
diabetes,
which
can
cause
enormous
swelling
to
the
hands
wrists
feet
and
ankles
wearing
shackles.
Will
compound
this
ankle,
swelling
and
cut
off
circulation,
putting
undue
stress
on
the
pregnant
mother,
pregnant
mother's
heart
and
her
fetus's
heart
in
this
day
and
age
of
an
unprecedented
opioid
epidemic.
Many
pregnant
women
are
on
maintenance
medications
such
as
methadone
Suboxone,
Subutex
injections,
Vivitrol
injections
and
buprenorphine.
T
These
effects
may
be
exacerbated
by
having
the
pregnant
mother
who
is
giving
birth
Shackled
to
her
bed
by
one
ankle.
While
she
is
in
the
throes
of
her
birthing
process,
an
undocumented
number
of
these
women's
pregnancies
are
often
a
result
of
rape,
incest
and
sex
trafficking,
in
which
some
were
bound
to
Beds,
which
is
traumatic
and
they're,
being
Bound
Again
by
shackles
to
their
hospital
bed
as
they
give
birth.
It's
trauma
on
top
of
trauma.
U
Hello,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Etta
cetera.
I
live
at
3807,
Melwood
I've
lived
in
Pittsburgh
since
1998.
I
want
to
thank
Deb,
my
council
person
for
putting
this
wall
of
council
before
you
all
and
for
you
all
willing
it
I
work
with
an
organization
called:
let's
get
free
the
women
in
trans
prisoner
defense
committee
and
talk
and
speak
to
incarcerated
women
every
day
and
also
trans
people,
and
you
know,
like
the
council,
the
chairwoman
said
this
is
really
the
bare
minimum
that
you
willed
into
Council.
U
The
bare
minimum
has
been
willed
and
I
very
much
appreciate
that,
and
we
need
that
and
I
just
am
I'm
hearing
like
the
tough
on
crime
rhetoric,
people
criticize
even
this
simple
basic
human
rights
of
having
trauma-informed
care
menstrual
pads,
not
being
Shackled
when
you're
giving
birth.
It's
like
the
bare
minimum
and
people
critics
will
say
this
is
you're
being
soft
on
crime.
U
Doing
these
bare
things
and
I
think
about
all
the
people
that
I
know
who
are
incarcerated
and
we
really
other
people
when
they
get
into
situations
where
people
are
harmed
and
are
convicted
and
sentenced
to
prison.
We
really
other
them.
We
don't
see
ourselves
in
them,
we
throw
them
away,
we
invisibilize
them
and
they
need
the
most
care
and
treating
them
with
respect
and
trauma-informed
care.
U
They.
We
really
need
places
of
healing-
and
this
is
a
very
small
step
into
creating
places
of
healing
for
people
when
they're
having
experiences
and
Trauma
and
I
just
I.
Thank
you
and
I,
just
I
really
I'm
calling
for
a
paradigm
shift
of
the
way
that
we
deal
with
harm
our
punishment.
The
way
that
we
indict
ourselves
the
way
that
we
indict
our
community
members
when
they've
trespassed,
we
really
need
just
a
culture
of
healing,
and
your
will
of
counsel,
has
supported
this
very
small
step
today.
So
thanks.
V
A
W
Name,
my
name
is
Melanie
Taylor.
Thank
you,
I
work
for
the
digniac
now
Collective,
and
we
and
and
trying
to
pass
the
HB
1419
bill
over
in
in
Allegheny
County
jails
and
in
Pennsylvania
jails.
The
average
of
pads
given
to
someone
who
is
incarcerated
is
five
per
person
which
is
inhumane.
It's
disgusting
and
it
leads
to
larger
problems
and,
as
time
goes
on,
like
yeast
infections,
BV,
kidney
failure
that
that
can
lead
to
that
so
fixing
this
problem
before
it
gets
any
worse,
can
save
so
many
lives,
and
so
many
people.
W
A
X
X
We've
now
reached
our
60th
murder
here
in
Pittsburgh
and
countless
shootings
as
well
as
other
acts
of
ballots.
Six
people
were
shot
outside
of
Funeral
Service.
Last
week
the
grandmother
of
the
deceased
says
she
called
the
authorities
to
let
them
know
about
a
Potential
Threat
at
the
funeral
service
and
they
dropped
the
ball
and
that's
why
I
want
to
know
who?
Can
we
call
in
our
community
besides
the
police,
when
we
have
concerns
for
safety?
That's
why
I
want
to
know
what
happened
to
the
stop.
X
The
violence
Branch
y'all,
keep
giving
this
money
to
everybody,
but
the
people
who
deserve
it,
the
people
who
are
actually
on
the
front
lines
and
on
in
the
field
you
keep
giving
this
money
to
the
police
foundation.
Stop
that
stop
it.
You
got
Jake
Gilmer
over
there
putting
out
this,
stop
the
violence,
messages
and
everything
like
that.
But
I've
contacted
him
and
he
can't
even
tell
me
where
this
money
went.
That's
one
million
dollars
of
our
tax
dollars.
X
I
want
to
know
where
what
happened
to
this
money,
the
grants
were
supposed
to
go
out
at
the
beginning
of
September
I
heard
that
it
went
out
at
the
beginning
of
October,
but
we
can't
find
out
who
received
it
and
how
much
they
received.
I'm
tired
of
y'all
getting
in
front
of
these
cameras
at
these
media
press
release,
talking
about
thoughts
and
prayers,
tell
us
where
he
stopped
the
violence
grants
when
tell
us
that
be
helpful.
X
Why
are
y'all
trying
to
hide
where
this
money
has
went?
This
money
is
supposed
to
be
helping
us
to
stop
the
violence
and
y'all
just
sitting
back
with
no
answers.
This
is
why
I'm
asking
and
I'm
stressing
everybody?
Yes
I'm,
a
black
Democrat
I'm,
always
gonna
be
a
black
Democrat
or
independent,
but
this
election
next
Tuesday
I'm
voting
for
Dr,
Oz
and
I,
suggest
you
all
do
the
same
vote
for
Dr
Oz,
don't
be
blinded
by
these
Democrats
keep
feeding
us
the
same.

Crap,
okay
and
I'm
gonna
finish
with
repeating
asking
this
question:
what
happened
to
the
stop
the
violence?
Branch?
What
happened
to
the
stop
the
violence
Grant
get
on
your
contacts
find
out
who
they
went
to
I,
want
to
hear
some
type
of
I
want
to
see
something
come
out
to.
Let
us
know
by
next
week
what
happened
to
the
stop.
The
violence
grants
I'm
not
going
to.
Let
y'all
bury
this.
We
want
to
know
who
we
can
contact
in
the
community.
Besides,
the
police.
V
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
Indigent
women
who
are
incarcerated,
who
are
in
need
of
sanitary
napkins
as
I
was
an
Indigent
individual.
So
I
asked
when
you
guys
make
these
decisions
as
women
as
well.
Did
you
think
about
those
things
of
women
needing
the
sanitary
napkins
to
things
to
treat
themselves
after
post-traumatic
disorder,
watching
women
being
four-pointed
to
the
biz
and
having
a
child?
Imagine
you
know
what
I
mean
so
I
just
ask
that
you
guys
think
about
that
when
you
go
forward
with
this
bill,
that's
it
I'm
done.
A
Y
I
live
about
200
feet
and
my
building
is
the
Presley
Street
high-rise
and
we're
about
maybe
50
feet
back
from
the
Giant
Eagle
and
probably
200
feet
from
the
bus.
Stop
where
the
Cedar
Avenue
shooting
happened,
two
people
that
were
just
waiting
for
their
bus,
a
human
right,
a
civil
right.
It
could
have
been
me
out
there
that
day
thank
God.
Y
You
don't
need
anything.
You
could
just
put
up
your
tent
and
do
this.
This
is,
this
is
bad
for
the
community,
as
well
as
it's
bad
for
the
homeless,
and
it's
adding
to
a
very
severe
problem
and
I
hope
that
we
can
come
to
a
solution
together
and
I
would
love
to
talk
to
some
of
you
further
about
it.
Thank
you.
A
Z
Z
Your
I
don't
know
whether
these
Chief
or
Commander
over
your
traffic,
because
there
was
a
police
officer
up
by
the
school
and
they
did
slow
down.
Now
you
had
them
up
there
one
day,
I'll
take
the
babies
to
school.
There
wasn't
he
wasn't
there
today
and
they
were
moving
kind
of
a
little
faster
than
what
they
did
when
the
policeman
was
there.
Z
I
went
over
to
him
and
thanked
him
and
I
said:
I
will
be
going
to
city
council
to
let
them
know
that
someone
heard
us
and
the
commander
sent
them
up
there
I'm
saying
this,
because
our
babies
are
they're
our
Jewels,
you
might
not
think
so,
but
these
little
babies
that
have
run
across
the
street,
not
knowing
that
someone
is
coming
too
fast,
not
paying
the
attention.
Okay
then
also
I,
wanted
to
say
to
miss
gross.
Z
You
know,
I
have
a
really
a
big
problem
with
you,
because
when
you
stood
through
that
time
and
said
when
the
police,
they
were
getting
a
new
Commander
new
chief
of
police
and
you
stood
and
said
that
me
and
the
mayor
decided
that
we
would
put
the
hill
with
with
yours
with
your
District.
But
we
don't
have
cars
and
to
get
over
to
your
District.
That's
two
buses
I
went
to
my
councilman
and
said:
wait
a
minute.
Z
The
mayor,
promised
and
I
was
arguing
with
Marty
Griffin
on
TV
that
these
on
the
radio
that
he
should
come
to
every
neighborhood,
Marty
Griffin,
oh
overtime,
not
over
time.
He
needs
to
hear
us
and
we
need
to
hear
him
and
we
didn't,
and
we
had
a
black
businessman.
Dave
feels
that
they
came
and
said
who
did
you
gonna
call
once
they
got
rid
of
the
chief
Chief
Harper?
They
tasered
that
man
in
his
district
in
his
in
his
building
where
he
sold
cars
and
I,
was
saying.
Z
Z
These
are
the
police
to
come
back
Who,
you
gonna
call,
so
you
need
to
know
I
thank
her
for
what
she
did
as
far
as
with
the
shackles,
because
you
just
didn't
know
they
Shackled
the
women
to
have
babies,
why
they're
still
human
beings
and
these
babies,
if,
if
they're
not
coming
out
right
and
the
mother's,
not
coming
out
right,
not
going
through
the
trauma,
it
affects
them.
It
affects
the
baby
too,
because
he
got
the
same
heart
through
like
her.
Z
A
AA
AA
I
was
a
volunteer
bus
driver
to
working
with
families
outside
under
the
auspices
of
Family,
Services
of
Western
Pennsylvania
I
drove
to
all
the
prisons
for
15
years,
I
raised
all
the
tangible
resources,
the
gifts
for
the
Christmas
party
for
kids,
who
had
a
parent
or
both
parents
in
the
state
and
federal
prison
prisons.
When
these
women
tell
you
that
the
women
are
invisible
in
prison
and
jails,
they
are
absolutely
correct.
I
am
really
surprised
that
it's
still
happening
and
I
apologize
for
being
naive.
AA
It's
been
a
long
time
since
I
worked
with
the
families,
I
can
honestly
say:
I
would
I
literally
for
the
men's
prisons.
I
would
have
to
go
through
their
dating
books.
The
women
would
have
to
write
down
what
their
anybody
would
have
to
write
down
their
relationship
to
the
prisoners,
and
some
of
them
had
multiple
fiances,
and
we
had
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
have
one
or
more
like
we
didn't,
have
multiple
fiances
to
the
same
guy
and
trust
me.
That
would
happen
at
Camp
Hill
a
lot
anyway.
AA
AA
They,
the
Mercer
present
there
was
a
fishing
spot
because
some
of
the
prisons
they
had
three
to
four
hour
visits
back
then
and
I
would
drop
off
the
people
and
I'd
take
my
fishing
rod
and
my
older
kids
were
all
with
me
at
my
side
on
all
the
trips
and
we
would
go
fishing
and
there
was
a.
There
was
a
guard
in
uniform
fishing
along
with
us.
AA
AA
AA
C
AB
Morning,
my
name
is
Medusa
Carter
I
am
a
co-founder
of
the
dignity
act
now
Collective
founded
in
2019.
We
went
to
representative
Morgan
cephas
to
ask
that
she
allow
impacted
people
to
weigh
in
on
this
package
of
legislation.
Initially
a
package
of
12
pieces
of
policy.
We
went
to
different
legislators
as
formerly
incarcerated
people.
We
actually
created
policy.
That
was
a
part
of
this
legislation.
AB
Representatives
such
as
summer
Lee,
State,
Rep,
Elizabeth,
Fiedler,
The,
People's,
rep,
mobita,
Harrell
Johnson,
and
we
create
a
policy
that
helped
to
introduce
this
legislation
demonstrating
the
true
meaning
of
co-governance.
Needless
to
say,
we
founded
the
collective
and
it
we
counted
it
as
a
campaign
and
it
became
a
collective
today.
AB
We
are
here
for
two
reasons,
because
State
sanctioned
patriarchal
violence
against
women,
trans
and
non-binary
people
is
egregious
and
violates
the
human
and
civil
liberties
of
mothers
and
caregivers
in
Pennsylvania
and
two
because
of
the
Blood
Sweat
and
Tears,
and
the
collective
actions
of
organizers,
legislators
and
leaders
across
Pennsylvania.
We
recognize
that
National
organizations
such
as
dream,
Corps
and
empathy
leader,
Tony
Willis
of
ardella's
house,
worked
side
by
side
with
representative
acephus,
Morgan
and
Mike
Jones
from
different
sides
of
Defense,
but
they
work
together,
making
this
a
bipartisan
bill.
AB
So
we
unanimously
unanimously
pass
this
bill
in
the
house
and
through
the
Judiciary
Committee,
which
is
almost
unheard
of
for
Criminal
Justice
Reform
bills.
We
were
able
to
bring
this
about
Philadelphia
jails
as
we
speak,
pregnant
mothers
or
in
solitary
confinement,
even
here
in
Allegheny
County
Jail
pregnant
mothers
are
in
solitary
confinement,
which
exasperates
anything
that
they
can
be
going
through.
AB
We
know
that
a
lot
of
these
places
have
asbestos
and
mold,
and
we
know
that
these
conditions
are
inhumane
and
inadequate
to
how
women,
trans
or
non-binary
people
we
are
reproductive
Justice
is
just
a
human
right.
It's
a
simple
human
right
and
it's
under
attack
at
every
level
of
government
right
now,
positioning
incarcerated,
pregnant
people
underneath
the
whims
of
a
system
that
dehumanizes
mothers.
Eighty
percent
of
women
in
jail
are
mothers,
and
most
of
them
are
primary
caretakers
of
their
children's.
These
children
carry
the
failures
of
our
brutal
heartless
carceral
system.
AB
The
number
of
women
in
in
Pennsylvania
jails
has
increased
more
than
19
fold
from
242
in
1970
to
4
754
in
2015.,
women
of
color
are
significant,
significantly
overrepresented
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
We
ask
that
you
not
only
lean
on
your
Senators
to
bring
this
bill
to
pass,
but
we
also
ask
that
you
inform
your
community
talk
to
people
in
your
community,
because
this
is
an
egregious
thing
and
it's
devastating
our
communities
when
we
talk
about
the
violence.
Part
of
this
is
removing
the
mothers
from
their
communities.
AC
I
am
also
the
homeless
resource
specialist
or
one
of
the
homeless
resource
Specialists
for
communities
and
schools
and
I
was
reading
in
a
trip
where
you,
the
council,
were
looking
for
solutions
to
homelessness
and
I
thought.
I
might
come
today
to
let
you
know
that
1
in
17
families,
with
children's
between
in
grades
K-12,
are
suffering
with
homelessness
in
the
United
States,
and
what
I
would
like
to
suggest
is
that
we
that
each
school
district
have
a
shelter
for
the
students
and
their
families
in
in
their
District.
AC
There
are
different
types
of
shelters
that
you
can
have.
You
can
have
an
emergency,
shelter,
transitional
shelter
and
things
of
that
nature,
which
I'm
sure
I
don't
want
to
give
you
a
lecture
on
it,
but
I
just
want
to
plant
the
seed
that
we
have
to
do
something
because
it
right
now
is
that
my
list,
my
my
case
list
grows.
AC
A
AD
I
too
I'm
a
returning
citizen
I
serve
four
and
a
half
years
in
a
State
Correctional
Institution
of
Muncie
for
three
months,
and
then
I
served
the
rest
of
my
time
in
Cambridge
Springs.
What
I
do
now
is
I
House
people
coming
from
those
facilities,
men
and
women,
so
that
tells
us
that
there's
alternative
housing
for
women
that
we
are
in
prison
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
we
look
at
those
things
instead
of
sending
a
woman
to
jail
to
have
a
child
and
then
their
child
being
removed
from
their
care.
AD
AD
There
could
have
been,
but
it
wasn't
offered
and
that's
fine,
but
we
know
now
that
there's
tons
of
alternative
ways
to
keep
women
and
their
children
together
and
in
order
to
stop
the
violence
and
the
broken
homes
and
the
things
that
are
happening
now
we
have
to
find
a
different
solution
than
in
prison,
imprisoning
our
black
mothers,
because
we
know
that
our
white
counterparts
don't
endure
this
type
of
Injustice
in
prison,
so
much
as
we
can't
even
get
a
proper
tampon
or
a
pad.
Imagine
making
those
things
to
try
to
just
feel
comfortable
right.
AD
Women
can't
get
proper
bloomers
and
bras
and
different
things
like
that
in
prison.
Let
me
even
talk
about
the
visits
that
the
young
lady
had
talked
about.
Previous
to
me,
men
get
plenty
of
visits.
We
know
that
right,
but
women
do
not
right.
They
don't
see
their
children,
so
there's
no
binding
period
and
they're
made
very
uncomfortable
the
visitors
when
they
do
get
time
to
see
their
children,
so
I
just
want
to
just
suggest
that
we
find
alternative
ways
to
one
give
a
person
just
the
basic
human
right
of
dignity.
AD
Right,
someone
can
do
a
crime
serve
their
time
still
be
in
prison,
but
still
deserve
Health
Care.
They
still
deserve
the
love
of
their
family.
They
still
deserve
to
be
in
a
warm
place,
maybe
not
all
the
ways
comfortable,
but
a
warm
place
right,
rid
of
rats,
roaches
and
mice,
especially
for
a
woman,
correct,
so
I
just
want
you
to
just
understand
that
the
situations
in
these
prisons
is
not
helping
a
woman
come
out
to
build.

The
standing
committee's
meeting
will
be
on
Wednesday
November,

at
10,
A.M
and
I.
Think
there's
also
a
postage
public
hearing
or
post
agenda
you
have
on
Monday.
What
is
that
in
regards?
AE
A
A
A
AE
AE
AE
AE
Cities
United
in
terms
of
solution,
says
this:
they
say
it
better
than
I
can
reimagining
Public
Safety,
which
is
their
words,
but
they
really
mean
also
reducing
gun.
Violence
means
identifying
community-led
and
or
supported,
Solutions
and
strategic
and
strategies
that
stop
the
bleeding
now
so
immediate
stuff
and
investing
in
the
dismantle
dismantlement
of
the
system
of
inequity.
That
also
means
investing
in
these
Community
long
terms.
We
must
do
both
it's
very
clear
to
me
as
I've
talked
listen
to
people
and
I.
AE
Guess,
I'll
start
this
a
little
tomorrow
and
a
little
bit
on
Monday,
I,
think,
there's
widespread
misunderstanding
of,
and
even
the
speaker
today
there's
a
widespread
misunderstanding
of
the
plan
for
peace.
There's
a
misunderstanding
of
the
role
to
stop
the
violence,
initiative
and
I.
Think
people
don't
understand
how
these
parts
play
right
and
for
those
people
who
do
not
live
in
these
communities
of
violence.
AE
Of
course,
there's
always
going
to
be
their
knee-jerk
reaction
of
Simply
to
police
their
way
out
of
it
and
to
say
that
they're
wasting
money
by
investing
in
the
problems
that
have
been
400
years
in
the
making
African
Americans
have
been
oppressed
in
this
country
for
400
years.
Those
problems
of
segregation
and
racism
of
lack
of
employment
and
hopelessness
persists
in
slavery
times.
The
Supreme
Court
right
now
right
now
is
about
to
probably
dismantle
affirmative
action,
because
the
Republicans
actually
hate
black
people
and
will
show
its
hatred
in
its
policies.
AE
So
we
have
an
active
make
America
great
movement.
That
is
also
make
America
great
by
going
back
to
the
1950s,
when
black
people
were
segregated
and
oppressed,
where
women
were
robbed
of
their
right
to
choose
and
treated
as
second-class
Citizens,
and
certainly
gay
lesbians
and
trans
people
received
no
rights,
so
so
I
say
all
that
to
say
I
there
I've
been
up
most
of
the
night
praying
about
this.
AE
You
know,
there's
a
passage
and
I'll
I'm,
not
I,
don't
usually
Talk
Amongst
about
scripture
here,
although
in
my
private
life
I
think
about
it
a
lot.
There
is
a
passage
in
Luke
where
the
people
come
to
John
and
they
asked
the
same
question
groups.
Different
groups
come
to
John
and
says
what
what
should
we
do?
Here's
a
problem
he's
preaching
about
this
problem.
AE
To
do
this,
I
think
we
need
to
go
into
our
communities
unto
the
into,
and-
and
this
is
something
that
our
president
has
been
saying
over
and
over
again,
but
I
think
we
can
as
Council
need
to
do
this
and
go
to
each
of
the
zones
of
the
police
zones.
There's
six
police
zones
there's
six
up
to
six
Public
Safety
councils.
I
think
we
should
go
to
each
of
the
councils
in
each
of
those
Public
Safety
meetings
with
with
the
with
the
you
know,
with
the
with
the
authority
of
council
with
council
members.
AE
Go
to
all
the
districts,
explain
what
the
city
is
doing,
explain
what
can
be
needed
and
then
talk
about
how
they
can
partner,
because,
even
though
we're
doing
this
stuff,
the
city
cannot
do
it
alone.
Churches
cannot
do
it
alone.
We
will
only
stop
this
violence
when
everybody
every
church,
every
community
group,
every
citizen,
every
neighborhood,
the
city,
the
county,
the
state
I,
won't
talk.
I
won't
I,
won't
Riff
on
how
awful
this
date
is
and
the
refusal
how
they're
in
the
throes
of
the
NRA
and
they
will
not
pass
any
gun
laws.
AE
These
kids
are
so
armed
because
the
state
laws
are
so
lacks,
they
they're
better
armed
than
the
police.
Now
right
they
have
better
weapons
than
the
police
do
and
that's
because
of
state
law.
So
our
system
is
Blended.
We
have
a
blended
system
of
focused
deterrent
public
health
and
in
hospital-based
violence
intervention.
It's
a
blended
system
so
difficult,
but
can
be
explained.
I,
don't
know
that
we've
done
as
good
a
job
as
we
can
and
I
think.
AE
What
we
can
do
is
support
our
mayor
by
going
into
our
communities
along
in
partnership
with
Public
Safety
and
the
Stop.
The
Violence
initiative
explain
what
the
city
is
doing
and
how
they
can
participate.
So
I'm
going
to
that's
my
thought.
I
won't
make
a
motion.
Yet
that's
what
I
think
we
should
do.
I
can
either
make
the
motion.
Now
we
can
talk
about
it
internally.
AE
Do
this
together
and
it's
not
a
time
I.
Don't
think
this
is
to
listen
to
the
community
as
much
as
this
is
the
time
to
tell
them
what
we're
doing
what
needs
to
be
done
and
how
they
can
participate
and
get
their
participation
in
the
programming.
That's
what
I
think
and
so
I'll
I'll
I'll
wait
and
listen
before
I
make
a
motion.
If
there's
other
comments
is.
P
So
I'll
chime
in
briefly
I
think
that's
right.
I
think
we
definitely
need
to
do
it.
One
of
the
other
things
that
struck
me
when
we
were
at
the
conference
in
Baltimore
was
and
I
think
this
is
part
of
the
education
as
a
city
in
terms
of
the
model
that
cities
United
is
using
to
actually
reduce
gun
violence.
Specifically,
we
actually
have
now.
P
The
intervention
work,
the
prevention
work,
what
happens
after
the
shooting
the
various
components
of
the
model
I
think
is
important
to
educate
the
public
on
so
that
they
can
also
realize
we
actually
do
have
the
right
people
in
the
right
places
and
finally
funded
funded
it
to
the
extent
that
it
actually
can
now
work.
So
I
think
rev
is
is
right
on
this
point.
M
No
I
just
want
to
say
I
support
that
I
think
that's
a
good
idea.
People
were
always
asking
me:
what's
Council
going
to
do
to
curb
the
violence,
the
curb
the
violence?
You
know,
we
don't
run
the
police
force,
not
to
say
that's
the
answer,
but
just
to
get
more
involved
and
to
know
what
plagues
each
and
every
District
I
fully
support
your
efforts
so
I'll
be
there.
A
So
I
have
so
much
to
say
on
this,
but
what
I
did
over
the
weekend
is
I
talked
to
Dr
Natalie,
who
does
a
lot
of
data
assessment
accountability?
She
was
governor
rendell's,
director
of
data
assessment.
Accountability,
I
have
her
looking
at
our
policies
that
we
put
in
place
and
seeing
how
crime
has
increased
with
some
of
the
policies
we
put
in
place
or
have
declined.
So
we
know
where
we
should
be
focusing
some
of
our
initial
efforts
or
some
of
our
efforts.
You
know
we
stopped
people
from
police
officers
from
pulling
over
Vehicles.
A
That's
where
they
got
a
lot
of
the
guns.
Previously.
Has
there
been
increased
since
we've
done,
that?
Has
there
been
a
decrease?
Has
that
been
effective,
so
she's
going
to
look
at
a
lot
of
different
data
and
I
think
that
I
want
to
just
say
I
think
that
Council
has
done
a
lot
of
what
they
can
do.
We,
it
I,
think
it's
clear.
This
is
not
just
about
money
at
this
point.
We
have
put
a
lot
of
money
in
a
lot
of
things
and
we
have
fought
for
programs
that
we
thought
would
work.
A
We
have
not,
you
know,
we
have
not
given
a
great
explanation
to
the
public.
The
fact
that
they're
coming
for
public
comment
and
saying
what's
happened
to
the
stop
the
violence
trust
fund
funding.
They
should
know
that
we
should
have
that
out
there
publicly.
That
is
absolutely
something
that
that
people
should
know.
This
is
what
the
council
has
helped
to
put
in
place.
This
is
what
you
know.
Some
of
the
things
that
we
can
do
you
are,
what
we
can
do
is
allocate
funding
and
do
some
other
things.
A
A
Think
they're,
sick
of
seeing
us
I
think
the
fact
that
we
talk
about
the
zone,
six
safety
councils
or
the
safety
councils
in
general
being
a
resource
shows
how
out
of
touch
we
might
actually
be
because
they
really
don't
have
that
many
people
they're
really
not.
That
involved
in
all
the
community,
so
I
think
maybe
we
take
people
who
can
reach
out
to
the
community,
get
some
resources
into
the
area,
I.
A
Think
by
now
I've
been
on
here
since
2009
we
could
have
taken
a
mobile
unit
to
every
block
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
taking
resources
right
to
somebody's
door.
We
could
have
done
so
much
more
by
making
sure
that
we
were
allocating
money
in
a
wiser
way
that
was
getting
resources
to
people
instead
of
organizations.
A
So
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
start
looking
at
some
of
those
things
and
I'm
willing
to
work
with
members
and
I
think
that
Reverend,
Burgess
and
councilman
Lavelle
have
done
a
yeoman's
job,
trying
to
make
sure
that
we've
done
a
lot
in
the
in
the
area
of
reducing
gun
violence,
but
I
think
at
some
point
we've
got
to
look
at
some
way
to
do
things
differently
and
I.
Think
that,
right
now
we
need
to
start
looking
at
what
we
have
been
doing
and
what
we
are
effective
in
and
what
we
have
need
to
revisit.
A
It's
there's
only
there's
so
much
under
our
prayer,
for
you
I
think
that
we
people
came
here
and
talked
about
you
know.
Groups
of
people
coming
together,
I
think
we
absolutely
need
a
meeting
with
the
school
district
with
the
county
with
the
state
and
federal
government
together,
not
just
individual
conversations
and
we're
working
in
silos
operating
in
silos,
trying
to
solve
a
problem
that
is
all
of
ours
to
share
and
all
of
ours
to
resolve
and
the
people
are
looking
at
us
to
come
together
and
to
knock
it
off
and
just
stop
playing
the
politics.
A
Stop
trying
to
allocate
money
to
this
one
or
to
that
one.
Let's
try
to
figure
out
where
the
money
is
going
to
be
most
useful
and
we
need
to
stop
the
violence
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
You
know,
first
of
all,
because
that's
really
where
a
lot
of
it's
going
on
right
now
on
our
people
are
hurting,
but
they're,
not
just
hurting
people
from
the
violence,
they're
hurting,
as
you
know,
the
things
that
are
contributing
to
to
the
violence
in
the
community.
A
Q
You
know
I
appreciate
your
comments
and
talking
about
how
we
need
to
take
it
to
the
you
know,
take
what
we're
doing
to
the
community
and
explain
kind
of
show
them
what
we're.
What
we've
been
doing.
I
think
we
can
look
even
deeper
before
we
take
that
approach.
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
you
know,
say:
that's,
that's
not
going
to
be
helpful,
but
I
think
you
know
possibly
alongside
it,
because,
obviously,
for
obvious
reasons,
I've
been
waking
up
every
day,
thinking
the
track.
Q
Q
Every
month
the
Stop,
the
Violence
government
War
comes
together
and
and
talks
about
how
to
address
things
more
in
a
Upstream
fashion
to
curb
violence
in
the
future,
and
we've
allocated
funds
to
increase.
You
know
through
Stop
the
Violence
to
increase
wages
and
and
really
the
support
around
Outreach
workers.
Q
We
have
also
allocated
10
million
dollars
to
in
hopes
to
get
under
contract
with
with
Ahn
so
that
they
could
not
only
use
their
model
for-
and
this
is
the
roots
program
use
their
model,
for
you
know
solving
issues
surrounding
homelessness,
but
also
the
whole
other
part
of
it
that
we
haven't
gotten
to,
which
is
the
alternative
police
response
and
really
to
try
and
understand.
You
know
if
everyone
keeps
talking
about
well,
you
know
we
have
this
issue
with
police.
The
numbers
are
down.
You
know
everyone
keeps
talking
about
that.
It's
like
okay!
Q
Q
The
concerns
that
I
was
just
bringing
up
here
address
these
concerns
through
either
that
post
agenda
or
another
post
agenda
to
really
try
and
get
at
really
all
all
the
different
protocols
and
and
actual
ways
that
we're
using
data-
and
you
know,
information
whether
it's
through
the
Outreach
teams
to
actually
formulate
how
we're
going
to
tackle
the
whole
issue.
That's
happening
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
you
know
we
look
to
we're.
Q
Looking
at
our
other
cities
as
well,
I
know,
Philadelphia
is
going
through
horrendous
time
with
the
amount
of
gun.
Violence
is
happening
there
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
council,
for
you
know
each
and
every
one
of
you
reached
out.
You
know
to
share
support.
I
appreciate
that,
and
the
north
side
is
looking
for
some
relief
right
now
so
appreciate
all
the
the
time
spent
on
the
subject.
M
I'll,
be
brief,
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
about
the
desire
of
council
to
want
to
be
involved
directly
and
what
you're
suggesting
rev
economy
is
a
full
partner.
Council
Madam
president
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
to
you
with
bringing
Dick's
Corporation
in
and
what
you
did
this
morning.
I
think
in
our
conversation
with
them,
it's
much
more
about
sports
and
athletic
associations,
they're
invested
in
our
kids
and
really
ties
in
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
right
here.
You
know
reaching
kids
at
a
young
age.
M
I
also
would
like
to
say.
Let
me
remind
people
that
in
2018,
while
we
bicker
back
and
forth
as
Mr
bird
just
pointed
out
to
Republican
party
and
gun
control
with
the
NRA,
it
was
a
very
Dix
Corporation
who
banned
assault,
weapons
to
be
sold
in
their
establishments.
And
you
know
if,
if
every
company
or
every
private
sector
who
sells
assault
weapons,
would
do
that
and
that's
the
short
answer.
But
I
wanted
to
again
just
commend
you
for
bringing
them
in
what
a
great
company
for
them
to
take
that
stand
in
2018.
I.
M
A
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
members,
because
Dick's
Sporting
Goods
for
those
people
who
don't
know,
gave
90
000
to
each
of
us
ten
thousand
dollars
per
district
for
our
athletic
associations
today,
and
they
did
that.
Based
on
the
conversation
we
had
about
how
the
athletic
associations
have
kept
our
kids
off
the
streets
and
in
something
more
positive
during
the
covet,
and
when
our
schools
were
closed.
When
our
rec
centers
were
closed.
A
It
was
those
athletic
associations
that
stepped
up
to
the
plate
and
put
a
lot
of
money
into
our
kids,
and
they
were
unable
to
raise
money
on
their
own
by
doing
fundraising
that
they
typically
do
and
events
that
they
typically
do
like
a
night
at
the
races
and
all
that
because
of
covid.
So
they
were
really
taking
a
lot
of
the
money
out
of
their
own
Pockets.
The
parents
were
pitching
in
the
community
was
pitching,
but
they
really
weren't
making
up
the
money
that
they
needed
to
make
up.
A
So,
let's
put
something
together,
we
can
do
that
the
best
we
can.
Let's
do
what
council
can
do.
I
wish
that
I
could
put
some
additional
officers
on,
because
I
do
think.
That
is
part
of
the
solution.
But
I
do
think
that
there's
got
to
be
a
combination
of
efforts
and
I
do
think.
The
administration
is
working
on
so
many
different
things.
A
So
many
different
levels
in
so
many
different
ways
and
I
think
that
he
has
walked
in
the
door
with
a
lot
of
challenges
and-
and
it's
just
increasing
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
and
you
know
hope
that
he
hangs
in
there
and
realizes
that
we're
here
to
work
with
him
and
to
make
things
a
little
bit
better
for
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
and
safer.
Anything
else
for
members.
