Description
Discussion on the Pittsburgh Plan for Peace & Group Violence Initiative
A
A
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
Pittsburgh
City
Council
post
agenda
meeting
the
day
is
Monday
November
7
2021..
This
is
a
post
agenda,
discussing
the
plan
for
peace
and
the
group
violence
initiative.
We
are
grateful
to
be
joined
with
us
today
with
two
other
Council
people
other
than
myself
councilman
Ricky
Burgess.
We
are
joined
by
councilman
Bobby
Wilson
and
councilman
R
Daniel
Lavelle
I.
A
First,
we
do
have
a
number
of
invited
guests,
but
our
first
group
of
inviting
guests
are
director
Dave
Jones
assistant,
director,
Community
Affairs
of
Pittsburgh
Department
of
Public
Safety
Jay
Gilmer
from
the
Stop,
the
Violence
coordinator,
again
from
Public
Safety
Mr,
tilik,
Thompson,
director
of
violence
prevention
initiative
and
operation
Better
Block.
We
have
core
no,
no
Jones,
who
is
a
not
sure
your
exact
title
but
I
think
it's
close
to
being
the
director
of
gvi
or
coordinator
of
of
gbi
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
table.
A
We
have
Reverend
Glenn
Gleeson,
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
community,
cares
and
the
lead
on
The
Reach
team,
which
is
the
group
violence,
Outreach
workers,
and
so
the
first
couple
of
things
will
be
from
Council
to
sort
of
go
over.
Why
we're
here?
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
then
councilman
Lavelle
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
our
history
and
sort
of
councils
and
our
engagement
in
this
work
and
then
we'll
turn
it
over
to
director
Jones
to
give
his
presentation
in
that
order.
A
A
Last
but
not
least,
and
maybe
this
would
be
maybe
I
guess
I
was
going
to
say
one
more
last
time
to
talk
about
it.
But
you
know
my
only
personal
most
at
most,
everybody
in
the
room
probably
knows
my
own
personal
experience
with
gun
violence.
You
know
that
my
my
aunt
was
murdered
and
my
my
mother
had
a
nervous
breakdown
almost
40
years
ago,
because
of
that
shooting
of
her
sister
and
she
never
recovered
from
that.
A
My
cousins
have
been
shot
and
killed
three
or
four
church
members
shot
and
killed.
My
grandfather,
wife's
grandfather
was
shot
and
killed.
My
wife's
father
was
shot
her
brother-in-law,
my
brother-in-law,
my
wife's
brother
committed
a
homicide
and
died
after
27
years
of
incarceration.
The
son
that
I
raised,
one
of
my
sons
is
actually
my
nephew,
who
was
my
brother's
son,
and
we
raised
him
because
his
father
has
been
almost
all
of
his
life
in
the
penitentiary,
and
so
this
issue
is
not
foreign
to
me.
A
I
ran
for
counsel,
explicitly
to
reduce
violence
and
to
learn
how
to
do
it
and
I
think
we
have
learned
how
to
do
it,
and
history
shows
that
we
did
do
it
when
I'll
be
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
this
devastating
effects
we
start
off
with
no
money,
then
we
started
off
I.
Think
our
first
grant
was
150.
000
I.
Think
that's
what
the
number
was
back
when
we
first
started
steadily.
Something
like
that
with
Kennedy
I
think
it
was
150,
000
and
Council.
A
A
Community
really
of
not
understanding
this
work,
you
know
the
the
the
the
the
knee.
The
knee
joint
reaction
is
always
to
to
have
more
place
right.
If
crime
goes
up,
we
need
more
police.
If
crime
goes
down,
we
work,
let's
get
more
police
and
to
change
the
narrative,
but
we
were
actually
saying
that
the
deaths
of
black
and
brown
people,
specifically
black
and
blonde
men,
made
a
difference
and
that
we
would
put
money
into
their
lives
and
I'm
proud
to
stand
with
our
current
mayor
and
councilman
Lavelle
and
Council.
A
We've
earmarked
millions
of
dollars
now
for
our
comprehensive
program.
For
the
first
time
in
the
city's
history,
we
have
finally
a
comprehensive
program
and
I
see
the
presence
of
our
our
excellent
public
safety
director
and
because
of
his
leadership.
We
have
now
this
this
comprehensive
approach
to
balance
production,
a
far
cry
from
where
we
started
and
I'm
I
as
I'm
older
now
and
I
say
this.
Both
publicly
and
privately
I
really
understand
my
role,
my
role
as
a
cheerleader
and
a
witness
of
what
God
has
done.
A
This
has
been
a
a
work
of
God
to
show
that
these
young
people
matter
and
that
we
have
put
the
weight
of
our
city
and
the
resources
of
our
city
behind
this
effort
and
if
given
time,
because
there
will
always
be
those
of
course
who
will
not
want
to
invest
money
in
the
black
and
brown
children,
none
even
in
the
past,
these
May
these
these
initiatives
did
not
pass
unanimously.
There
was
contention
on
Council
you
know
of
why
I
put
this
money
into
prevention
and
not
just
put
the
money
in
police.
A
There
will
always
be
these
naysayers
and
I
asked
and
I'm
going
to
stop
with
this,
but
this
is
I
say
this.
All
the
time
tell
me
the
value
of
the
life
of
a
young
man
or
woman.
You
tell
me
their
value
right.
So
just
tell
me
the
number
so
I'll
know
right.
So
how
much
is
too
much
to
save
one
life
is,
if
it's
just,
let
me
know,
and
if
we
can
save
hundreds
of
lives.
What's
you
know?
A
What's
how
much
money
it
for
me,
there
is
no
value
on
the
quality
of
life
of
a
kid.
Every
kid.
Every
young
person,
every
adult,
has
unlimited
potential
and
talent
and
it's
a
loss
to
the
world
and
so
I
I'm
of
the
belief
that
we
spend
whatever
is
necessary
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
brick
and
mortar
is
just
brick
and
mortar.
But
we
need
to
make
kids
and
young
people
and
their
families
and
at-risk
families
the
heart
of
our
work
in
our
city
and
and
we've
been
able
to
do
that.
B
B
I,
don't
recall
all
of
who
was
with
it,
but
I
know:
Talib
participated,
I,
believe
Josiah
when
he
was
with
My
Brother's
Keeper.
Thank
you
created
by
our
former
president
Barack
Obama
when
he
was
with
them.
They
participated
in
that
Academy
and
just
for
the
record
that
Academy
exists
to
support
a
national
network
of
Mayors
young
leaders
and
other
stakeholders
committed
to
reducing
the
epidemic
of
homicides
and
shootings
among
young
black
men
and
boys
ages,
14
to
24
by
50.
B
In
order
to
do
that,
they've
created
what
they
this
Academy,
which
is
a
year-long
peer-to-peer,
learning
engagement
that
looks
at
the
most
comprehensive
approaches,
and
so
the
work
we
are
doing
has
continually
built
off
of
National
models
and
best
practices
across
the
country.
Specifically
cities.
United
is
also
focused
on
reimagining,
public
safety
and
they've
created
a
definition
of
what
that
means
and
I'm
a
reader,
because
I
think
it's
pertinent
to
our
work.
B
Interruption,
Street,
Outreach
diversion
and
alternative
Pathways,
coordinated
crisis
response
teams
and
collaborative
Public
Safety
funding
models,
but
they
go
also
a
step
further,
but
also
saying
that
reimagining
Public
Safety
has
to
also
look
at
all
the
historical
wrongs
that
have
plagued
our
communities
and
so,
if
you're,
not
also
addressing
education,
you're,
also
addressing
all
the
racist
practices
that
have
put
our
communities
in
these
places
that
you're
not
having
a
comprehensive
Focus
model.
I
say
all
that
to
say.
If
you
look
at
the
mayor's
plan
for
peace.
B
B
I'll
also
add
that
this
past
weekend
or
two
weekends
ago,
excuse
me
Coming
directly
off
of
the
conference
from
cities
United
a
number
of
us,
including
director,
Jones
Retreat,
and
some
of
us
were
in
a
public
safety
breakout
room
and
in
that
breakout
room
because
of
this
work
because
of
the
work
that
all
of
you
all
in
this
room
are
actually
doing.
The
goal
that
we
created
coming
out
of
that
workout
coming
out
of
that
group
was
to
reduce
gun
homicides
and
Reverend
Grayson
was
there
too?
B
You
can
certainly
chime
in
was
to
reduce
homicides
by
25
next
year,
because
we
believe
so
much
in
the
plan
in
the
mayor's
agenda
and
the
work
that
all
of
you
all
are
doing,
and
so
with
that
I
do
want
to
turn
it
over
now
to
director
Jones,
who
can
go
further
into
the
mayor's
plan
for
peace.
But
I
do
want
to
commend
our
mayor
for
coming
up
and
creating
a
comprehensive
plan
that
is
based
on
the
best
practices
and
based
on
the
work
that
you
all
have
already
begun
to
do.
Director.
C
Jones,
thank
you
very
much,
councilman
Bell
command
and
president
in
their
absence.
Thank
you
for
the
pitch
to
further
talk
about
the
marriage
plan
for
peace.
First,
we're
certainly
grateful
to
have
part
of
our
team
here
today,
and
they
will
be
speaking
on
behalf,
but
we've
been
doing
a
mighty
fine
job
and
you
can
tell,
as
we
go
forward
our
data
that
we're
certainly
helping
to
well
the
balance
in
our
city.
The
mayor's
plan
for
peace
is
broken
down
into
six
categories.
I'd
just
like
to
highlight
a
few.
C
The
public
health
approach
focuses
on
the
public
health
and
the
safety
of
our
well-being
of
all
residents.
Public
Health
draws
on
experience
and
Analysis
from
Health
Care,
Professionals,
Educators
and
social
service
providers.
Please
understand
that
this
does
not
replace
or
conflict
with
law
enforcement.
C
Community
Partnerships
committed
to
Community
Partners,
including
our
schools,
face-based
communities
and
community-based
organizations.
The
gbi
group
was
started
approximately
on
January
1st
2022
11
months
ago.
Gbi's
approaches
to
facilitate
and
direct
sustained
engagement
with
a
small
number
of
group
involved
individuals
to
prevent
one
act
of
violence
using
homicides.
That's
what
lead
to
others,
and
we
also
understand
that
approximately
200
people
in
our
community
are
the
ones
that
are
causing
the
majority
of
our
violent
crimes.
C
D
There's
a
lot,
there's
room
for
lots
of
people
in
this
space
because
it's
going
to
take
a
total
Community
effort,
their
accomplish
the
objectives,
the
goals
that
have
been
set
forth
here
today,
I
do
want
us
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
work
that
I
have
been
doing
before.
I
turn
over
to
illegals
share
some
of
the
real
nitty-gritty
stuff
about
how
this
really
works.
The
how
effective
it
it
is.
D
My
role
has
stopped.
The
violence
coordinator
is
primarily
to
coordinate
components
of
the
strategies
that
involve
the
you
know
changing
of
the
community
narrative
that
involve
the
the
expansion
of
the
capacity
of
all
of
the
city
to
do
the
things
they're
trying
to
do
so,
the
one
of
those
components
being
the
stop
Defiance
Community
investment
grants
which
were
launched
in
this
year
and
which
we
are
now
actually
getting.
The
first
amount
of
money
out
to
committee
groups,
as
we
speak
for
the
last
chapter.
First
check
got.
A
D
All
of
our
strategies
are
predicated
on
the
fact
that
we
that
that
there
is
not
it's
not
the
entire
community
that
is
involved.
It's
a
very
small
part
of
the
community
and
the
more
fat
protective
factors
we
can
put
around
those
small
number
of
people,
the
more
we
can
start
changing
those
identities.
D
D
We're
gonna.
Do
it
all
again
next
year,
because
there's
plenty
of
lots
of
great
groups
doing
great
work
in
our
city
and
the
more
we
can
support
them
and
begin
to
have
them
Court
collaborate
with
and
coordinate
with.
Each
other,
the
more
we
can
get
our
arms
more
around
this
issue,
and
so
this
disease
can
be
cured
and
that's
that's
the
the
role
that
I'm
playing.
D
We
also
our
stop
deviance
newsletter,
which
is
becoming
a
way
for
individuals
out
in
the
community
to
find
out
some
of
the
things
that
are
going
on
some
of
the
good
things
that
are
going
on
some
of
the
facts
of
what
the
situations
are,
so
we
don't
simply
rely
upon
what
we
think
is
the
are
the
facts
which
oftentimes
are
not
the
real
facts.
So
it's
about
putting
out
real
facts.
D
It's
about
sharing
real
examples
of
what's
going
on,
sharing
Solutions
sharing
resources
so
that
individuals
who
want
to
take
advantage
of
them
can
do
that.
If
anyone
is
watching
this
broadcast
today
and
know
someone
that
might
need
a
protective
Factor,
please
reach
out,
we
have
it.
We
have
them.
If
we
can
find
out
about
something
in
advance,
we
can
take
care.
We
can
do
something
about
that
and
stop
everything,
but
we
can
get
around
a
lot
of
different
things.
D
If
there's
someone
that
needs
a
resource,
we
probably
have
that
somewhere
out
here
too,
among
some
of
our
partner
groups,
they're
doing
some
spectacular
work,
you
know
and
every
neighborhood
of
our
city
and
there's
no
excuse
for
for
someone
not
finding
it
and
if
they
need
any
need
any
help.
Just
right.
The
violence
that
Pittsburgh
pa.gov
and.
E
D
With
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Tyler
Thompson
who's
been
another
co-labor
in
the
work
and
he's
longer
than
I've
been
involved
who's.
Now
the
director
of
my
intervention
at
the
operation
better
block
out
in
Homewood
and
his
has
just
been
developing
expertise,
because,
if,
because
of
his
his
knowledge
as
an
Outreach
worker
and
it's
an
already
supervisor
and
knowing
what
how
challenging
it
is
to
you
know,
document
the
work
that
we
do
and.
E
F
So
I
was
at
the
health
department,
where
Dr
hacker
brought
me
in
to
open
up
the
office
of
violence
prevention
under,
what's
known
as
the
public
health
approach
to
gun
violence,
and
before
that
you
know,
I
was
at
the
table
when
it
was
a
75,
000
Grant.
With
doing
this
work
so
to
see
you
know
the
commitment
that
Council
has
made
with
going
from
75
000
to
you
know.
The
resources
that
that
we
have
now
here
at
the
table
is
amazing
and
then
also
understanding.
F
F
That's
related
to
the
disease,
to
the
spread
of
the
disease
of
violence
in
in
these
different
strategies
are
just
strategies
that
are
are
opportunities
to
attempt
to
treat
the
disease
of
violence.
I
think
that's
extremely
important.
What
we
that
we
understand,
the
language
that
we're
attempting
to
treat
this
disease
of
violence
and
and
that's
what
we
have
so
the
language
now
has
has
evolved
to
the
point
that
it's
Community
balance
intervention,
because
even
cities
United
in
the
work
that
they
do
realize
that
it
takes
more
than
one
model
to
address
these
things.
F
It
would
be
like
similar
to
sand
when
it
comes
to
preventing
the
spread
of
covet.
We
only
need
Mass.
No,
we
don't
need
math,
we
need
Mass.
We
need
to
change
the
way
we've
done
things
over
the
years.
We
need
vaccinations,
there's
so
many
things
that
that
it
that
takes
to
prevent
the
spread
of
the
disease
of
violence
like
it
does
with
spreading
preventing
the
spread
of
the
disease
of
covet.
F
So
what
we
have
here
is
is
the
system
of
documentation
that
that
an
infrastructure
that
we
develop
with
students
from
CMU
over
A
Five-Year
Plan,
and
it's
it's
up
on
the
big
board
right
now
through
Zoom.
They
had
me
connect
in
through
Zoom,
and
this
actually
displays
the
work
that
the
Outreach
teams
are
doing.
So
we'll
get
to
the
point
when
we
we
can
actually
touch
different
locations
within
the
map
and
we'll
we'll
touch
this
right
here.
F
So
what
you're
seeing
right
here
is
the
risk
level
of
Northview
hikes
from
one
of
our
Outreach
workers,
which
shows
that
the
risk
is
risk
levels
at
4,
12,
Active
cases,
and
it
shows
that
we've
actually
had
17
referrals
within
the
last
30
days
and
and
we
have
this
level
of
documentation
all
throughout
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
let's
zoom
in
on
on
this
work
over
in
North
Hollywood.
If
you
can
see
right
right
there,
that
North
Homewood
is
at
a
red
right
now,
but
we
have
20
Active
cases.
F
We
have
an
opportunity
where
we're
able
to
actually
look
at
I,
don't
know
if
I
could
share
the
big
board,
not
sure
of
how
sensitive
we
want
to
be
on
information,
that's
within
the
big
board,
but
when
it
comes
to
these
risk
level,
assessments,
there's
Opera,
there's
the
Outreach
worker
has
an
opportunity
to
to
to
be
involved
in
preventing
things
when
it
comes
to
focused
deterrent
work.
So
when
Outreach
worker
actually
submits
a
risk
level
assessment
saying
that
they
want
police
presence
before
something
happens,
that's
the
focus
deterrent
work
that
actually
takes
place.
F
Those
are
people
actually
engaging
folks
on
the
ground,
Within
These
communities
connecting
them
the
resources
and
and
referrals
and,
like
I,
said
just
a
a
myriad
of
things
that
they
actually
have.
That
is
actually
documented.
That
is
verified,
documented
information
on
the
work
that
Outreach
workers
are
doing.
So
with
that
being
said,
we
we
had.
You
know
we
wanted
to
just
be
able
to
kind
of
show
the
system
as
a
whole,
but-
and
we
also-
you
know-
want
to
be
sensitive
on-
you
know
not
exposing
the
whole
system.
F
You
know
under
this
form
right
here.
If
that's
okay,
yes,
because
of
the
confidentiality
of
the
work
and
the
workers,
that's
doing
the
work
and
then
some
of
the
the
clients
that
workers
are
actually
working
with
so
I'ma
just
kind
of
like
stop
it
right
there,
but
then
also
be
available
for
any
questions
from
Council
on
the
actual.
F
F
At
the
conference
recently
and
everybody
said
we
were
dealing
with
those
same
challenges,
y'all
are
dealing
with,
but
we
see
y'all
figured
it
out
and
how
can
we
get
this
system
into
our
city,
so
we
have
calls
set
up
with
Syracuse
New
York,
with
New
York,
with
Syracuse
New,
York,
Cleveland
and
New
Orleans,
because
they're
like
this
is
what
we're
missing
right
here.
Is
this
system
of
accountability?
G
G
Being
someone
who
came
here
in
2017,
the
growth
of
what
we've
done
has
been
amazing
and
I.
Could
honestly
say
when
we
went
there
this
year
we
went,
we
were
strong
I'm
talking
about
from
you
know,
I
had
to
pull
Ty
away
just
to
make
sure
he
ate.
You
know
what
I
mean,
because
everyone
wanted
to
see
the
the
the
information
that
he
had
there,
and
that
was
something
that
everyone
was
talking
about,
because
if
it's
not
documented,
it
didn't
happen
and
back
when
I
first
started.
That
was
a
big
issue
of
documentation.
G
Council
everyone
was
saying
what
about
the
documentation?
What
about
the
documentation
they
were
like?
Oh,
we
need
more
than
just
a
time
sheet.
Well,
you
know
we're
blessed
to
have
the
documentation
now
to
be
able
to
talk
about
what
we
do,
how
we
do
it
and
we're
blessed
to
have
people
who
now
believe
in
it.
Now
that's
the
thing
you
know
and
it's
taking
some
time,
but
we
have
a
group
that
believes
in
it.
G
They
know
what
they're
doing
and
they're
able
to
take
all
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
and
documented
so
that
we
can
actually
put
together
reports
so
that
we
can
present
what
we're
presenting
to
you
guys
right
now.
They're
able
to
you
know
my
role
for
the
ones
that
don't
know
is
I'm
the
middle
person
I'm,
the
the
one
who's
in
between
law
enforcement
and
the
Outreach
team,
and-
and
let
me
say
this
Outreach
team-
is
amazing,
I'm
honored
to
be
able
to
work
with
them.
G
You
know
when
I
think
about
some
of
the
things
that
they're
doing
I
just
sort
of
jotted
down
some
things.
The
this
is
the
Through
The
Years.
You
know,
law
enforcement
didn't
have
respect,
and
you
tell
me
if
we're
wrong
then
have
respect
for
outreachable.
So
much
there's
a
level
of
respect.
That's
there
now!
That's
that's
important
to
know
that
they
have
for
the
Outreach
team,
knowing
that
if
the
Outreach
seems
getting
involved,
they're
able
to
help
stop
some
of
the
violence
that
that
could
actually
happen.
G
They're
still
they're
still
doing
interventions
they're
even
to
the
point
now,
where
some
of
the
schools
that
the
Outreach
workers
are
in
they'll
give
the
Outreach
work
out
room
to
be
able
to
do
mediation
to
be
able
to
pull
people.
That's
never
been
done
in
in
from
my
experience
for
for
The
History
of
Violence
prevention
in
Pittsburgh,
working
with
Community
Community
leaders,
employment,
helping
people
to
get
jobs,
I
talked
about
in
schools
in
the
beginning
before
things
happen,
intervening
before
the
big
events
happen
downtown,
like
that's
huge.
G
The
right,
Outreach
workers,
the
mentoring,
the
for
mentoring,
to
be
being
able
to
take
people
out
of
the
town
to
be
able
to
take
them
to
different
places,
to
expose
them
to
the
different
programs
and
and
things
that
they
could
see
attending
meetings,
the
The
Zone
meetings.
Everyone
knows
that
the
Outreach
workers
go
to
the
Zone
meetings
and
I
think
it's.
G
Think
that's
really
you
so
I
feel
like
we're.
Taking
things
to
another
level,
you
know
the
unity
is
is,
is
is
amazing
right
now,
I
could
honestly
say
it
through
the
years.
That's
changed.
You
know
what
I
mean
the
unity
amongst
the
Outreach
team,
the
the
immunity,
even
as
far
as
like
dealing
with
law
enforcement
when
the
Outreach
worker
says
that
this
is
what
needs
to
get
done.
People
respect
that
now.
So
there's
a
level
of
respect
that
the
Outreach
workers
have
gained
and
we're
continuing
to
gain.
I
I
respect
the
leadership.
G
You
know
Antoine
Bailey's,
doing
a
great
job.
We
enjoy
working
with
Reverend
Grayson
on
things,
and
we
just
want
to
continue
to
work
together
to
be
able
to
help
transforms
our
community
to
be
Madam
president,
it's
good
to
see
you
man,
president,
so
just
really
just
trying
to
hello
man
just
bring
the
people
the
right
people.
We
have
the
right
people
at
the
table,
we're
trying
to
bring
the
continue
to
bring
the
right
resources.
I.
G
You
know
what
I
mean
and
everyone
across
I'm
talking
about
and
when
we
were
in
in
Baltimore
the
top
organizations
that
are
doing
violence
prevention
were
there
and
a
lot
of
them
were
going
up
to
him
saying
we
heard
what
you
have
and
we
see
what
you're
doing
so.
I
thought
that
was
amazing,
so
we're
blessed
to
have
that
that
piece
of
the
puzzle
there.
G
I
Just
some
of
the
work
that
I
have
been
doing
over
on
the
south
side
is
a
lot
of
interventions
mediations
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
at
the
school.
The
there's
a
lot
of
you
know
news
and
things
about
like
Carrick
high
school.
That
was
on
the
news
back
early
in
the
school
year
when
the
school
first
started,
and
we
was
able
to
you,
know,
put
a
intervention
team
at
the
school
a
program.
We
call
Safe
passage,
and
we
have
three
individuals
at
that
school.
I
Every
day,
Monday
through
Friday
able
to
put
out
a
lot
of
you,
know,
fires
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
we
was
able
to
also
you
know,
work
directly
with
the
principal
vice
principal,
her
Administration
staff,
and
able
to
build
up
some
plans
Identify
some
key
players
that
were
causing
a
lot
of
violence,
a
lot
of
stuff
that
was
happening
up
in
the
plaza
and
Care
weren't
related
to
her
school.
There
were
students
who
used
to
go
to
a
school.
I
That
was
coming
back
up,
causing
a
lot
of
problems,
so
it
was
just
a
lot
of
misinformation
that
was
given
out
to
the
community
and
what
we
was
able
to
do
is
disseminate
a
lot
of
resources
in
that
area.
To
try
to
get
the
community
buy-in
get
a
lot
of
people
from
the
community.
Former
athletes
I
used
to
play.
You
know
for
Carrick,
High
School
to
come
up
to
the
school
and
that
no
families
and
friends
to
help
put
out
a
lot
of
fires
at
that
at
that
school
space.
I
But
I
was
just
some
of
the
fans
that
we
were
doing.
You
know
at
the
school
level
and
then
we
also
transitioned
to
some
of
the
work
that
we
was
doing
downtown
at
the
the
McDonald's
area,
working
with
some
of
the
business
District
down
in
that
area,
and
also
meeting
with
some
of
the
principals
who
kids
or
transitioning
from
school
to
downtown.
I
And
we
was
able
to
leverage
tremendous
relationships
in
Us
in
that
space,
making
sure
that
students
had
access
to
mentors
resources
and
we
was
able
to
be
a
that
buffer
between
businesses.
People
that's
making
that
transition
home
from
work
as
students
as
well,
making
sure
that
students
also
felt
safe
as
they
were,
able
to
make
that
transition
downtown.
A
J
Thank
you
and
we're
honored
to
be
here
on
behalf
of
reach.
I
preached
yesterday,
so
I
won't
take
long
today,
I
think
it's
been
said
best
on
the
sentiments
of
everyone
who
spoke
before
kind
of
the
work
of
reach
to
date.
About
a
year
ago.
This
time,
all
of
us
executive
staff
was
at
the
table
almost
every
day.
I
know
every
Monday
several
hours
trying
to
shape
and
craft
what
this
particular
Grant
or
contract
would
look
like
for.
J
As
of
January
and
moving
from
a
very
small
Grant
where
we
had
a
contract.
We
are
again
the
workers
were
committed,
even
at
that
amount
to
moving
into
the
scale
that
we
are
now
going
from.
Six
people
to
close
to
30
on
staff
has
been
indeed
not
only
a
challenge,
but
a
wonderful
opportunity.
I'm
really
honored,
to
serve
with
the
group
of
men
and
women
at
this
table,
because
I
say
to
each
team
because
they
are,
everyone
is
impactful.
J
The
respectability
and
relationship
is
a
key
word
because
each
of
them,
when
they
get
to
a
scene
or
before
scene,
they
have
relationships
and
contacts
they're,
able
to
diffuse
they're
able
to
share
they're
able
to
help.
We
all
see
ourselves
really
as
allies
to
the
police
officer
allies
at
the
hospital
allies
of
the
school
system,
we're
in
probably
now
seven
schools
making
impact.
We
do
mediations,
and
so
the
work
never
stops.
We
tie
into
the
mayor's
Vision
around
peace
and
we
each
and
every
day
try
to
make
the
city
more
peaceful.
J
Of
course,
there's
challenges,
but
overall
for
our
first
year
and
11th,
one
in
11
months
and
I,
couldn't
ask
for
much
more
from
this
team
who,
every
every
day
truth
be
told,
risk
their
lives.
None
of
us.
We
are
best
protection.
None
of
us
have
guns
we
go
to
wherever
we're
called
each
and
every
day
meetings
I've
seen
you've
seen
us
at
meetings
and
support
groups
wherever
we're
there.
We
are
front
and
center
we're
branding
ourselves
as
reach,
but
we're
hands
on
we're
not
from
a
distance
when
called
upon
on
any
level.
J
Reach
has
been
fun
and
center
and
I'm
getting
honored
to
serve
again,
as
you
know,
we're
in
all
zones,
six
communities
and
we're
just
making
the
impact
and
the
difference.
The
statistics
are
high
than
we
would
like,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
can't
do
the
number
of
reduced
potential
homicide,
not
retaliations
and
the
mediations
that
we
do
the
impact
we
have
and
again
it's
it's.
J
J
It's
been
like
that's
what
the
best
I
want
to
say,
just
the
impact
we've
had
we've
grown
intentionally
and
not
just
to
throw
the
wrong
people
at
the
wrong
time.
There's
a
fill
a
seat
I've
been
very
intentional
in
working
with
the
executive
team.
They
bring
the
strength
in
terms
of
who
could
be
an
asset
and
not
a
liability
and
with
the
recommendations.
J
Collectively
we
vetted
process
went
through
examined,
went
back
again
and
we
feel
so
comfortable
that
we
have
gathered
a
team
of
men
and
women
of
all
groups
and
ages
from
you
know,
geds
to
phds
at
the
table
to
make
an
impact
and
make
a
difference.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
share
about
the
work
we've
done
in
the
last
11
months
and
look
forward
to
taking
it
to
another
level
on
next
year
in
the
30th
and
years
to
come,
it's
been
impactful.
J
D
F
F
F
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
this
shows
you
the
amount
of
times
within
the
last
three
months
that
Outreach
may
have
actually
wanted
to
just
increase.
It's
189
increased
Outreach
in
that
particular
area.
What's
important
here
on
the
focus,
the
Turn
part
is
law.
Enforcement
presence,
Outreach
suggested
that
we
have
law
enforcement
president
162
times
and
each
time
that
we
that
we
ever
successfully
do
these.
F
This
is
where
the
focus
to
turn
part
kind
of
kicks
in
when
it
comes
to
conflict,
mediation,
we're
at
32,
conflict,
mediations
referred
for
services,
23
and
then
custom
notifications.
But
the
level
like
I
said
of
information
and
I'm
just
going
to
skim
through
this
I,
don't
want
to
actually
zero
on
it.
F
But
if
you
look
at
the
board
on
the
level
of
information,
that's
that's
drawn
shows
you
how
much
we're
actually
data
driven
when
it
comes
to
the
work,
that's
being
done,
and
that's
just
from
one
of
the
spreadsheets
that
we
that
we
have
right
there.
So
so
that's
just
you
know
displaying
how
we're
data
driven
this
is.
This
is
not
a
narrative
work.
F
K
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
I,
want
to
thank
all
of
the
people
here
today
for
coming
and
testifying
and
help
not
only
helping
us
solve
the
problems,
but
helping
Council
understand
the
problems
so
that
we
can
make
better
policy.
That's
what
we
we
do
here
at
the
post
agendas
right
you're
here
to
edify
us
so
that
we
can
understand
things
we
don't
already
understand,
and
so
I
wasn't
at
the
conference
and
we
didn't
get
a
briefing
except
for
a
few
kind
of
conversations.
K
I
think,
maybe
in
the
hallway
or
overhearing
kind
of
what
was
what
was
said,
and
so
congratulations
on
on
having
people
acknowledge
your
work.
It's
always
good
to
have
that
kind
of
sounding
board.
There's
no
other
heading
in
the
right
direction
and
to
get
the
positive
affirmations.
I
appreciate
that
I
think
it's
also
important
that
I
heard
the
panel
acknowledge
that
you
know
we're
seeing
more
violence
that
we
we
hope
to
see,
but
we're
not
the
only
city
and
it's
a
hard
time.
K
It's
certainly
a
hard
time
for
our
teenagers.
I've
said
this.
In
other
conversations
at
the
at
the
council,
table
I
have
a
teenager
in
the
city
and
they
lived
through
this
pandemic
differently
than
we
did
as
adults
right,
and
so
you
know,
our
kids
all
went
home
that
week
in
March
in
2020
and
didn't
go
back
to
school
for
18
months.
I'm,
sorry
didn't
go
back
to
school
for
18
months
and,
and
that
makes
a
difference.
I
think
they.
K
They
were
old
enough
to
know
that
we
were
all
freaking
out,
but
they
didn't
have
enough
life
experience
to
kind
of
Comfort
themselves
or
know
that
probably
things
were
going
to
be
okay
or
or
to
really
have
the
coping
any
of
the
coping
skills,
so
that
just
exacerbates
all
the
other
pre-existing
dysfunction
that
we
had
in
the
city
right,
and
so
it's
now,
it's
worse,
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
putting
more
resources
into
it.
I'm
glad
that
those
are
people
resources
and
not
just
cash.
K
One
thing
I
didn't
hear
and
I
was
listening
on
YouTube
before
I
came
into
Chambers
I
was
kind
of
back
in
my
office.
Is
that
if,
if
I
missed
it,
forgive
me
but
I
didn't
hear
anyone
mention
Dynamics
around
differences
in
gender,
either
in
the
perpetrators
of
violence,
the
victims
of
violence.
What
are
your
systems
around
gender
identity,
I
heard
kind
of
like
stepping
in
when
there's
been
violence
and
then
I
heard
kind
of
like
supporting
families?
J
I
think,
on
the
preventive
side,
almost
I
think
all
of
our
Outreach
workers
play
a
role
in
that,
whatever
it's
working
with
moms
with
our
team
with
you
know,
football
teams
of
other
teams,
boxing
have
a
Chris
works
with
a
boxing
team.
We
are,
other
ones,
are
in
different
schools,
girls
groups,
so
we
are
the
preventive
end
of
the
impact
of
everyone.
J
K
In
the
city,
are
you
seeing
kind
of
what
we
hear
at
large
that
there's
more
of
a
problem
with
girls
and
violence
than
there
was
in
the
past?
They
see
some
nodding
heads
back
in
the
chambers
behind
your
head,
so
you
know.
Is
there,
do
you
match
Outreach
workers
to
the
people
that
are
you're
trying
to
reach?
K
J
We
definitely
know
there
is
around
especially
School
incident,
there's
an
impact
on
the
females
and
in
terms
of
how
it
connects
to
some
of
the
some
of
the
violence
we
also
see
today.
The
statistics
have
changed
also,
and
someone
else
can
jump
in
on
the
number
of
females
who've
been
fatalities
or
gun
incidents,
so
that
has
increased,
and
so
we
are
conscious
of
that
and
we
try
to
connect
our
staff
again.
We've
increased
our
email,
Outreach
workers,
not
to
the
novel
we
liked.
J
Well,
we
have
grown
in
that
area
too,
because
we're
also
conscious
of
of
gender
as
well
as
age
and
our
support
group,
but
we
are
trying
to
grow
and
again
that's
why
we
were
been
pretty
intentional
to
find
the
right
people
from
inception
from
January
to
now,
but
we
also
trying
to
make
sure
that
each
worker
brings
the
pieces
to
help
make
it
stronger,
not
have
all
the
answers
to
each
make
it
stronger
and
that's
the
intentionality
of
the
executive
staff.
We
have,
you
know
Tuan,
who
leads
us
as
a
program
manager.
J
D
H
D
D
That
reaching
out
starting
with
whatever
they
can
start
with
and
then
expanding
those
relationships,
and
that
is
what
something
we
just
put
into
the
RFP
that
that's
what
we
wanted
people
to
be
doing
is
reaching
out
for
more
and
more
family
members,
because
the
younger
folk,
don't
didn't
just
come
up
with
with
this
on
their
own.
They
got
it
from
someplace
else.
D
D
Yes,
we
want
to
be
effective,
more
and
more
of
the
family
members
and
a
good
place
to
start
is
with
whoever
you
can
you
start
where
you
can
start,
whether
it's
the
re-entering
person
or
with
the
younger
person
or
whoever
it
is
wherever
you
can
start,
we
start
there
and
I
want
to
reach
out,
do
more
teaching
of
the
entire
family.
So
that's
just
that's
just
one
component.
K
Glad
to
hear
that
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
when
we
created
the
fund
that
I'm
glad
that
that
we
have
in
the
language
at
Council
that
these
funds
are
flexible
that
way
so
that
they
can
be
actually
supporting.
Households
knows
the
way
I'm
reading
it
and
so
I'm
eager
to
see
that
it's
thank
goodness
you're
reaching
out
and
intervening
in
crises
right
when
there
is
a
crises
and
you're
in
interceding
and
mediating
between
people
who
are
already
in
conflict
with
each
other.
D
G
Just
just
to
add
to
what
you're
saying
each
situation
that
happens,
we
strategically
look
at
who's
the
best
fit
to
be
able
to
help
that
person
who
are
they
connected
to.
If
we
know
a
family
member
or
if
they
were
on
a
sports
team,
or
something
like
that,
whatever
situation
that
we
strategically
want
to
do
to
find
out
who's
the
best
fit,
someone
might
be
from
another
neighborhood.
You
know
something
like
that
or
that
they
might
not.
G
F
Me
say
when
it
comes
to
to
when
it
comes
to
the
models
that
City
of
Pittsburgh
has
here
and
as
far
as
the
disease
model
is
preventing
the
spread
of
the
disease
you,
the
goal
is
to
interrupt
the
transmission
of
the
disease.
You
know,
regardless,
you
know
male,
you
know
female
and
some
of
the
stuff
that
we've
seen
inside
the
schools
may
have
had.
F
So
it's
important,
though,
the
work
that
we're
doing
that
we
attempt
to
interrupt
the
transmission
of
disease
anywhere
that
we
see
it
because
us
you
know,
folks
that
are
on
the
ground,
doing
the
work
understands
that
if
the
transmission
happens
here,
we
know
where
the
spread
is
going
to
lead
to.
We
understand
how
the
spread
has
traditionally
worked
throughout
our
communities,
so.
F
L
M
M
One
of
the
ask
a
few
questions.
I
know
others
want
to
get
to
theirs.
I
think
just
the
the
global
question
that
I've
always
had
that
I
always
have
when
we
talk
about
a
system
and
how
to
really
kind
of
solve
a
problem
and
how
we're
going
to
use
that
to
solve
the
problem
like
what's
a
success,
look
like
so.
M
F
Me
show
you,
let
me
let
me
let
me
say
what
success
looks
like
from
the
work
that
we've
done,
but
the
work
was
simply
up
at
Perry
right.
As
you
know,
when
we
got
involved
with
other
period,
it
was
a
20-person
fight
law
enforcement
had
to
come
inside
the
buildings
they
had
to
bring
dogs.
They
had
to
bring.
You
know,
stun
guns
in,
but
20
people
were
fighting
at
once
right.
F
So
as
you
move
forward
and
you
bring
Outreach
workers
into
this
space-
and
you
start-
and
you
still
have
fights,
but
when
those
fights
get
to
the
point
that
it's
five
people
fighting,
there's
four
people
fighting
we've
just
successfully
minimized
or
lowered
the
transmission
of
those
disease
inside
that
building,
and
we
did
it
off
relationships.
So
when
those
relationships
weren't
in
the
building,
when
one
person
fought
the
spreads
happening,
the
next
person
feel
like
he
has
to
get
involved.
F
So
then
you'll
have
20
people
fighting
but
offer
relationships
that
Outreach
workers
develop
with
these
kids
inside
these
buildings.
When
two
people
fight
folks
get
to
the
point
of
saying,
because
the
relationship
I
had
with
this
Outreach
worker
I'm
gonna,
let
those
two
people
get
into
those
fights
and
that's
less
of
a
spread
that
can
happen
when
there's
two
people
fighting
compared
to
20
people
fighting
with
20
people's
fighting,
the
cell
phones
is
gone.
There's
people
outside
that
building
preparing
for
the
spread
of
that
disease
because
of
that
20
person
fight.
F
Let
me
let
me
say
this
is
that
when
it
comes
to
preventing
the
spread
of
Kobe
right,
you
need
more
than
masks.
You
need
folks
to
change
how
how
they've
done
things
you
need
folks
working
on
a
vaccine.
You
need
folks
working
on
boosters,
so
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
we
fit
into
one
of
those
categories
like
with
the
work
of
all
this
comprehensive
Network
that
take
place
within
safety.
F
We've
been
in
all
these
different
categories,
but
what
doesn't
need
to
happen,
and
always
you
know
tell
you
this
when
we
talk
about,
is
that
in
this
space
A
lot
of
times
the
hamster
and
the
will
start
to
happen
where
this
is
out.
This
is
in
this
is
out.
This
is
in.
We
need
to
continue
to
build
on
what
we
build
on
when
we
started
from
75
000
to
the
point
that
we're
at
now,
we
need
to
say:
okay,
this
is
what
we
have.
This
is
what
the
system
have
now.
F
G
Think,
what's
what's
needed
at
this
time
is
on
community
involvement.
That's
key!
This
isn't
just
an
Outreach
thing
or
just
a
law
enforcement
thing.
This
is
a
community
at
large
thing,
so
I
think
it's
important
I
think
it's
important
for
the
community
who
work
for
us
to
continue
to
work
together,
but
also
think
it's
important
for
them
to
see
us
working
together
on
a
regular
basis
too.
So
so
they
could
see
us
in
the
community
and
working.
G
You
know
you
know
helping
the
families
I
know
each
one
of
you
are
amazing.
You
know
what
I
mean
and
I've
been
out
there
on
the
front
lines
with
you,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
the
for
the
community
to
see
the
unity
that
we
have
and
continue
to
have.
But
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
People
like
that's
a
day.
You
know
that's,
that's
y'all
I'm
like
no!
It's
us!
That's
us!
If
we're
one
Pittsburgh,
we
got
to
work
with
one
Pittsburgh
and
I.
Think
that's
extremely
important.
G
I
also
learned
that
you
know
when
I
was
speaking
at
a
presentation
in
one
of
the
communities.
You
know
one
lady
got
up
and
said
you
know
what
and
I
share
this
all
the
time
when
I
lady
said
you
know
what
I
can't
deal
with
the
streets.
I,
don't
know
anything
about
the
streets.
She
said,
but
I
have
a
tattoo
removal
company.
She
said
and
I'll
use
my
tattoo
removal
company
to
be
able
to
help.
G
You
know
you
and
to
be
able
to
help
some
of
the
people
who
have
like
gang
tattoos
and
things
like
that.
I
said
man,
that's
violence,
prevention.
It
also
showed
me
right
there
that
everybody
brings
a
piece
proposal
to
the
to
the
table,
so
we
just
got
to
find
the
passion
so
that
we're
not
looking
at
TV
saying
man,
that's
a
mess
that
they're
doing
that.
It's
it's!
G
C
More
that
we
spread
our
message,
the
more
the
community
understands
what
we're
doing
better
off.
We
will
be
we're
wrapping
around
our
community
around
the
most
distressed
people,
the
most
distressed
communities,
the
more
that
we
do
that
and
our
message
is
consistent,
the
more
that
we're
walking,
lock
and
step
with
Council
the
mayor's
office
and
everyone
it'll
be
better.
It's
going
to
take
some
time
because
it
didn't
go
bad
overnight.
It's
gonna
certainly
takes
some
time
for
things
to
get
better,
I
think
the
school.
J
Sorry
I
think
school
system,
if
not
really
understands
our
impact,
the
fights
and
issues
at
one
of
the
charter,
not
Charter,
School
view
preference
example.
We
have
that
principal
knows
respects
our
expertise.
They've
called
he's
called
us
in
on
campus
and
off
campus
to
mediate
a
number
of
situations
that
could
have
gone
South
of
Honor
myself,
I've
gone
on
a
couple
occasions.
Last
week,
Mr
Bailey
got
a
call
for
potentially
a
kid
who
might
have
had
a
parent's
output
and
she
was
a
BB
gun.
A
gun,
we
don't
know.
J
The
three
of
us
went
up
to
the
school
immediately.
Did
a
one-on-one
offered
him
an
opportunity
to
to
work,
but
that's
an
example
where,
if
you
would
ask
Mr
Graf,
the
impact
that
reaches
having
at
his
school
alone
would
be
a
good
example
of
just
Partnerships
and
how
it's
changing
and
knock
on
wood.
They
have
not
had
issues,
we
have
two
workers
in
the
school,
a
male
and
a
female.
On
top
of
any
time.
There's
a
need.
J
He's
got
a
couple
situation
off
campus
with
parents
to
mediate
at
the
Grayson
Center,
as
well
as
going
to
the
schools.
So,
whenever
there's
a
call,
we
try
to
intervene
and
reduce
the
disease.
So
that's
just
an
example.
I
think
is
growing.
We
are
in,
like
I,
said
seven
different
schools
and
the
call
you
ask
the
question:
what
more
could
what
more
could
happen?
J
Really
in
some
ways,
an
increase
of
capacity
to
be
able
to
get
to
even
more
schools
with
this
company
predominantly
high
schools
in
Carrick,
but
we
can't
we're
stretched
already,
but
that's
just
an
example
of
One
impact
of
one
school
through
relationships
and
respecting
in
them
and
the
staff.
Looking
forward
to
the
impact
we
bring
to
the
table.
Yeah.
D
M
D
I
Just
two
things
when
you're
mentioned
about
some,
some
of
the
successors
that
we
have
seen
and
also
is
some
of
the
things
that
we
do
need
is
from
speaking
from
the
ground
on
some
of
the
successes
that
I've
witnessed
and
been
a
part
of.
We
have
four
individuals
that
return
to
the
South
Side
from
prison,
three
Federal
and
one
state,
and
when
once
they
return,
and
they
immediately
knew
the
work
that
I
was
doing
and
we
have
got
all
four
of
them:
employment
and
outside
of
the
for
employment.
I
They
had
employment
for
the
last
six
months.
Three
of
them
are
instrumental
in
helping
with
some
of
the
balance
that
are
taking
place
just
with
the
relationships
that
they
have
in
the
community,
the
relationship
that
I
have
and
some
of
the
players
that
particularly
cause
violence
in
our
community
on
the
south
side,
we're
able
to
leverage
those
relationships,
re-enter
them
back
into
the
community
in
the
review
stakeholders.
So.
D
I
To
answer
that
question,
what
some
of
the
successes
look
like?
We
directly
work
with
individuals
who
went
to
prison
for
gun,
violence,
shootings
or
back
in
the
community
and
just
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
those
people.
Also,
some
of
the
things
that
I
feel
that
we
need
just
from
being
on
the
ground
level
is
some
programming.
I
I
have
worked
with
several
families.
What
I
mean
program
is
just
some
some
funds
to
go
back
into
youth
youth
development
programming
and
also
like
some
parent
engagement.
So
we
have
some
families
that
we
work
on
that
have
experience
is
a
gun
violence
in
her
home
that
are
looking
to
relocate,
I'm,
looking
to
move
out
or
look
into
some.
You
know
how
clothing
and
things
in
that
nature
that
I
work
with
directly
and
I
was
just
one
of
the
things
I
had
to
see
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
I
D
I
Son
outside
of
just
me,
individually
or
some
of
the
Outreach
worker
just
doing
a
one-on-one
in
mediation,
so
some
of
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
is
partner
with
some
of
the
community,
centers
recreation,
centers
and
just
providing
some
resources.
So
we
can
do
some
programming
in
some
of
the
recreation
center
soon
I
think
funding
for
programming
is
key
to
some
of
the
young
people
that
we
doing
not
just
a
salary
driven
putting
you
know:
men
and
women
on
the
streets.
D
G
That
communication
I
want
to
get
I
just
say
this,
so
we're
talking
about
a
win.
A
win
is
when,
when
we
got
together
and
made
sure
that
that
young
man
who's
whose
house
was
getting
shot
up
taking
care
of
when
we
pulled
the
resources
together,
we
we
made
the
phone
calls
we
connected
with
who
we
needed
to
connect
with.
There
was
a
level
of
connection
that
we
didn't
have,
so
we
were
able
to
connect
with
you.
You
had
the
connection
to
be
able
to
make
the
phone
call
that
kid's
still
alive.
G
G
You
know
what
I
mean
like
these
are
the
things
that
honestly,
we
like
we
celebrate
hard,
because
a
lot
of
these
people
that
we're
dealing
with
that
were
blessed
to
deal
with
are
our
Shooters,
and
these
are
people
who
could
have
gave
up
and
wanted
to
give
up
because
of
these
relationships.
To
these
Outreach
workers,
they
didn't
and
they're
the
relationship
that
we
had
with
you
with
you.
We
were
able
to
take
things
to
another
level,
another
kid's
still
alive.
Those
are
the
Miracles
that
we're
blessed
to
be
a
part
of.
M
Yeah
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up,
because
I
always
point
back
to
that
that
time,
I
think
that
was
literally
the
first
summer
I
was
in
office
and
I
was
I
was
fortunate.
That
I
had
met
a
few
people
on
the
way,
like
Ty
Lee,
to
kind
of
lead
me
down
to
talking
to
more
people
like
yourself
and
everyone
else
before
yeah.
That
was
before
that
we
made
a
bigger
investment
to
What's
Happening
Here
I
I
did
have
some
some
more
questions.
M
F
F
Don't
want
to
offer
the
exposure,
so
it's
really
not
hard
to
actually
say
where
we
have
the
exposure
of
the
disease
act
in
in
these
communities,
like
literally
it's
broadcast
on
the
news
on
a
daily
basis,
and
you
got
to
really
understand
when
it
happens.
That's
exposure
to
the
disease,
but
then
also
was
was
UN
was
not
always
looked
at.
F
Is
the
trauma
associated
with
that
we're
always
working
in
areas
that
have
always
been
traumatized
because
they've
already
been
exposed
to
the
disease
of
violence
and
there's
a
way
and
the
thing
when
it
comes
to
this
this
language,
on
the
disease
of
balance,
there's
a
way
that
you
got
to
go
about
treatment
right
and
what
we
also
learned
when
it
comes
to
treating
diseases.
Is
that
just
because
you
have,
let's
say
a
resolution
or
a
symptom
to
something
doesn't
mean
people
want
engagement,
say
you
know,
give
me
the
vaccine
right
away.
L
D
F
Me
you
could
be
in
this
space
and
you
could
be
dealing
with
folks,
that's
exposed
to
the
disease.
It's
going
to
take
your
relationship
and
that's
that's
what
we
see
when
we
look
at
in
our
system,
sometimes
that
Outreach
workers
May
pump
out,
there's
literally
there's,
there's
there's
views
on
here
for
employment,
50
000
views
that
came
from
the
work
that
these
folks
got
word
says:
there's
been
50
000
times
that
someone
has
looked
at
a
resource
around
employment
right
it
may
not.
F
When
it
comes
to
access
access,
may
not
be
as
high
right,
because
it's
saying
that
folks
say
that
we
know
what
they
need.
They
know
what
they've
asked
us
for,
but
they
may
not
be
at
that
point
right
now
that
they're
even
willing
to
take
those
resources,
but
it's
the
relationship
and
the
consistency
that
we
allow
them
to
get
to
the
point
and
that's
how
you
get.
We
don't
have
the
big
budget
of
campaign
that
folks
have
take
the
vaccine
and
have
celebrities
taking
the
vaccine
and
all
the
other
stuff.
F
There's
a
15
to
30
range,
where
their
highest
cause
of
death
is
homicide.
So
if
you
just
developing
these
relationships
and
I,
get
you
to
go
on
a
job
interview
every
now
and
then
or
maybe
get
you
in
one
of
my
six
week,
training
and
whatnot
I'm
moving
you
towards
that
aging
out
process,
I'm
keeping
you
alive
literally.
So
really
it
gets
to
the
point
that
sometimes
the
light
comes
on
at
different
times
for
individuals.
F
I
mean
folks
know:
I've
been
involved
with
this
work
over
20
years
and
I
got
involved
with
Richard,
Garland
and
and
literally
I
aged
out
of
you
know
the
wrist
thing
it
was
kind
of
like
just
keeping
me
alive.
It
was
opportunities
relationships,
so
the
light
came
on
for
me
at
31
years
old,
literally
and
literally
you
age
out
of
that
age,
around
30
or
35..
So
the
work
this
work
is
so
important
and
the
part
of
keeping
them
alive
is
something
that's
really
underestimated.
C
And
the
majority
of
the
people
that
are
doing
this
work
councilman
live
in
the
neighborhoods
that
they
service
right,
and
so
we
are
able
to
see
young
people
as
they
grow
up
and
we're
consistent
in
our
message.
It
hasn't
changed
Council.
So
when
they
age
out
when
they
get
older,
they
know
that
we're
there
to
help
and
hold
them
by
the
hand
and
do
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
make
them
a
better
person.
Okay,.
G
And
this
is
important
to
see.
They've
also
have
had
some
people
have
had
the
disease
before,
and
some
people
have
been
healed
from
the
disease.
You
know
what
I
mean
they
know
what
the
disease
looks
like
you
know,
I
mean
they
know
what
the
disease
looks
like
they're
like
okay,
we
see
these
are
the
symptoms
of
what
they're
doing
right
now.
E
M
D
F
M
F
Able
to
say,
okay
is
this
effective
to
the
people
that
we're
sending
them
and
then,
if
not
as
we
move
down
the
road,
it's
like,
okay,
maybe
we
changed
the
grant.
You
know
what
we're
focusing
more
on
this,
because
to
me
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
work
is
important
that
we're
so
that
we're,
let's
say
supporting
people
that
can.
E
F
Relation
right
and
that's
why
you'll
see
with
this
new
Grant
is
coming
out
the
focusing
on
coaches,
because
we
obviously
know
that
coaches
have
the
relationship
with
the
kids
and
they
have
the
racing
with
the
parents.
So
as
we
continue
to
do
this
work,
supporting
that
we're
focusing
on
organizations,
individuals
that
have
relationships
and
how
do
we
support
those
folks
that
have
relationships
in
our
community?
That's.
M
G
M
G
And
it's
it's
something:
that's
actually
being
worked
on
now.
Director
Jones
is
connected
with
Laura
dubrowski
to
be
able
to
connect
those
things
together.
Of
course,
you
already
know
that
we
have
a
strong
relationship
with
Dan
and
we
know
Dan's
team
very
well.
We're
gonna
make
sure
that
the
Outreach
teams
know
each
other
very
well,
so
that
we
can
be
able
to
work
together.
G
So
I
mean
you
know
it's
a
process
right
now.
It's
something
that
can
be
stronger,
but
you
know
through
the
social
social
workers
who
working
together
with
Dan
and
then
connecting
with
this
team,
like
I
personally,
have
worked
with
him
a
lot
and
and
some
of
the
Outreach
workers
have
direct
phone
numbers
with
some
of
the
people
that
are
over
there.
But
it's
a
process
that
we're
working
on
really
improving
we're.
C
M
L
L
I
I
mean
I,
really
don't
have
too
many
pressing
questions.
I
just
really
want
to
ask
you
a
couple
simple
things.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
do
Cornell.
You
know,
I
had
to
call
you
what
was
it
midnight
a
few?
A
few
months
back,
we
had
a
murder
up
in
Brookline
I,
find
it
very
effective.
The
team
that
was
sent
out
there,
father
Anthony.
L
That's
right:
that's
right!
I
was
a
little
concerned
when
you
sell
we're
going
to
send
a
team
out
there
geez.
What
are
you
going
to
do
so?
But
you
know
I
was
there
I
met
them.
I
wanted
to
see
firsthand.
You
know
what
they
did
really
just
calm
calming
nerves
for
that
for
that
moment,
and
they
were
very
effective,
I
I
really
thought
it
was
fruitful
to
have
them
there.
L
They
talked
to
kids
walking
up
down
the
street
parents
and
that
sort
so
so
I
just
want
to
say
my
experience
in
turning
to
violence
prevention.
Outreach
has
been
positive
so
far
in
the
way
of
responding
to
a
murder.
You
know
but
I
guess.
My
question
is
like
this:
for
you,
I
grew
up
in
the
city.
We've
had
fights,
we
had
differences
with
other
neighborhoods
and
nothing
new.
L
C
Well,
the
first
part
of
that
is
at
the
media
controls
the
narrative
right,
so
the
media
controls
what
our
young
people
are
seeing
and
listening
to,
and
they
are
imitating
that
right.
So
as
a
result
of
that
and
I
don't
know
if
the
people
in
this
room
can
control
that
narrative
right,
we
don't
have
a
counter
for
the
positive
music
that
part
of
our
culture
is
gone
by
and
large
right.
C
So
one
of
the
things
that
the
drivers
is
that
the
media
controls
those
things
and
honestly
it's
easier
to
pull
a
gun
into
bring
it
somewhere
takes
less
than
2.2
pounds
of
pressure
to
pull
the
trigger
on
on
a
gun
a
little
bit
easier
to
do
that
than
actually
stand
up
and
fight
somebody
and
potentially
take
a
loss.
You
can
just
shoot
and
it's
done,
but
they
also
equate
some
of
this
like
a
video
game
as
well.
Yeah.
F
G
People
hurt
people,
you
know
what
I
mean,
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
that
are
hurting
and
from
that
it's,
like
you
know,
I
always
use
analogy
to
pop
can
shaking
the
stress
the
employment
whatever
ever
it
is
that
they're
going
through
you
know,
I
mean
in
Kaboom.
They
blew
up
and
now
you're
in
a
Penitentiary
directly
like
I.
L
Get
asked
often
whether
it's
from
a
reporter
or
people
in
my
district.
What
are
you
going
to
do?
What
are
the
police
going
to
do
about
the
violence?
What
are
the
police
going
to
do
about
the
violence,
I,
say
and
I
believe
this
to
be
true,
our
police
are
reactive.
We
don't
necessarily
do
the
work
and
I'm
hoping
that
you
all
do
this
type
of
work
as
to
getting
whether
it's
in
schools
younger
people,
that's
really
what
we're
talking
about
here
right,
so
you
know
I,
don't
think
our
police
can
really.
L
J
Working
with
the
schools
are
honored
that
we're
there,
the
schools
that
we're
in
they're
glad
we're
there
to
impact
it's
major
and
we're
just
hoping
to
increase
that
number,
also
because
more
principals
are
asking
overall
or
more
for
our
for
our
present
and
each
school
is
designed
differently
in
terms
of
need,
we're
not
security
guards,
not
body
guards,
but
we
come
in
and
build
relationships.
Many
of
us
from
the
community
have
those
relationships,
people
going
into
school,
Rebels
from
the
football
team
or
whatever
or
other
programs,
and
so
that
helps
a
lot.
L
E
E
My
concern
has
been
the
foster
care
system
and
what's
happening
to
our
kids,
every
single
day
in
homes
that
they're
taken
out
of
their
home,
that
the
only
home
that
they
know
their
fit
with
their
families,
whether
it's
with
a
grandparent
or
sibling
and
they're,
putting
into
foster
care
into
foster
care
system
and
oftentimes
abused
terribly
in
the
in
those
homes.
And
so
for
me
I.
E
You
know
when
I
think
what
kids
are
going
through
I,
don't
even
think
we
have
to
ask
why
there's
so
much
that
they're
going
through
it
could
be
video
games.
It
could
be
things
in
the
community,
but
oftentimes
it's
what's
happening
within
their
own
heart
and
their
own
mind
in
their
own
souls
and
in
their
own
homes
and
and
I
think
a
lot
of
times.
Kids
will
avoid
going
home
and
we
can
keep
kids
early
in
the
morning
to
late
at
night.
E
But
if
we're
not
working
on
that
family
or
working
with
whomever
they're
living
with,
then
we're
not
really
helping
the
kids
and
we're
just
playing
a
bunch
of
games
here
and
we're
not
going
to
really
see
results
and
I
do,
and
we
can
say
that's
because
the
pandemic
and
I
do
think
that's
part
of
it.
But
I,
don't
think
that's
the
only
thing
that's
happening.
We
also
had
a
higher
number
of
police
officers,
which
meant
we
had
the
opportunity
to
build
police
community
relations
where
sometimes
those
officers
built
relationships
with
kids.
E
When
I
worked
at
Pittsburgh
Public
I
remember
it
was
a
school
police
officer
at
the
time
who
noticed
a
kid
had
said
something
that
was
that
was
odd.
I
never
thought
anything
of
it,
but
to
him
it
was.
It
was
significant
enough
that
he
looked
into
it
and
we
found
out
later
that
that
kid
was
being
molested
every
single
day
in
their
home,
and
you
know
nobody
if
it
weren't
for
that
person
that
conversation.
That
was
about
a
Christmas
event.
E
It
wasn't
even
about
Public
Safety
but
foreign
for
that
interaction
that
the
police
building
relationships
that
they
had
opportunity
they
had.
Nobody
would
ever
have
known
I
mean
eventually
you've
got
help.
The
kids
committed
suicide
as
an
adult,
so
I
mean
I've,
seen
a
lot
of
that
working
with
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
and
I've
seen
a
lot
of
pain,
and
it
makes
you
hurt
for
the
kids,
so
I,
don't
when
people
come
to
me
and
they
tell
me
all
the
things
they're
doing,
I
don't
care
if
I
see
the
numbers
are
up.
E
I
want
to
know
why
I
want
to.
We
can
do
differently
and
I'm
going
to
fight
for
the
kids
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
understand
that
there
has
to
be
some
correlation
between
what's
happening
with
them
and
and
homes
and
Foster
home
Foster,
Care
Homes,
some
Foster
Care
Homes,
we
know
are
amazing
and
they
help
get
kids
out
of
those
really
abusive
homes
and
situations.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
them
that
are
not
all
so
amazing
and
kids
are
being
abused
in
those
homes.
E
So
to
me,
I
think
that
there's
a
definite
correlation
and
I
do
care
about
that.
I
do
care
about
the
data
and
and
some
of
the
things
you're
saying
I
haven't
scheduled
a
meeting
with
Dr
nedley.
So
we
can
look
at
data
to
see
some
of
the
things
that
maybe
we
should
be
looking
at
differently
or
there's
some
ways
that
we
can
draft
a
good
response
to
help.
The
kids
in
the
community
and
I
know
Reverend
purchase
and
councilman
LaBelle.
E
Do
that's
kind
of
work
all
the
time,
but
I
also
think
I'd
like
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
the
social
workers
that
we
have
and
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety.
First,
let
me
thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
I
know
sure
all
men
so
next
time
bring
some
women
and
so
I'm
going
to
say
that
oh
yeah
I,
just
why
is
she
not
at
the
table.
E
Before,
okay,
we
have
one
woman
and
so
and
but
I
know
you
have
others
that
work
with
you,
and
so
so.
I'll
say
that
part.
But
but
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
I
know
that
this
is
David.
Cornell
I
know
that
you
go
into
really
dangerous
situations
with
no
without
a
gun
and
invest
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
all
that.
E
You
do
because
I
know
you
do
it,
because
it's
a
passion
and
and
I
know
some
of
the
work
that
all
of
you
do
and
I've
met
you
all
before
before
I
was
here.
Well,
not
you
Mr,
Gilmore
I
met
you
here.
Mr
Jones
I
met
you
at
sister,
Mary's
event,
salt
to
Save,
a
Life
today
and
but
other
than
that
I
worked
with
some
of
you
in
the
community
when
I
worked
with
Pittsburgh,
Public
Schools
and
then
Wireless
neighborhoods
well
now
neighborhood,
Learning,
Alliance,
but
anyway.
E
So
I'm
curious
like
what
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety
with
their
I
heard.
You
say
a
little
bit
about
what
they
do
and
how
they're
working
with
all
of
you
are
they
riding
along
with
police,
yet
because
I
mean
they've
been
paid
now
for
about
a
year
and
I
wonder
what
they're
doing,
but
probably
over
a
year.
Now
that.
G
Part
would
go.
We
don't
we're
not
in
a
mix
of
that
at
all,
as
far
as
like
riding
along
police
or
anything
like
that,
what
they're
doing
with
us
is
helping
to
give
resources
to
the
people
that
are
victims
for
people
who
aren't
victims.
We
have
a
kid
in
the
school
that
needs
some
type
of
support,
they're
they're,
getting
resources
for
that
were.
G
They're
School
social
workers,
but
you
know
in
addition
to
what
the
school
social,
where
they're
doing
we
have
access
well
I
meet
with
them
every
morning
and
if
the
Outreach
worker
says
you
know,
that's
phone
wise,
we
knew
the
Outreach
worker
says.
This
is
what
we
need,
though
they
start.
Looking
at.
You
know.
How
do
we.
E
Get
this
well,
they
were
hired
under
the
idea
that
they
were
going
to
be
riding
along
with
police
officers.
So
that's
what
we
were
told
so
I'm
going
to
be
honest
with
you
about
that
so
I'm
curious
about
what,
when
that
changed,
how
that
changed
and
I
want
to
say,
I,
think
some
of
them
do
and
I
know.
Laura
does
a
lot
of
work
in
the
communities
different
things
with
homelessness.
I
understand,
there's
a
lot
in
that
area.
I'm
just
curious
about
the
social
workers
with
the
police
officers.
At
this
point,
president.
E
So
I'm
curious
about
the
social
workers
still
so
I'm
just
going
to
say
that
and
I
also
I'm
curious
about
the
relationship
with
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools.
I
really
think
that
part
of
what
we
need
to
do
is
have-
and
it's
been
something
I've
talked
to
the
mayor
about
another
in
Reverend
Burgess
about
is
I-
think
that
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
center
north,
south
east,
west
and
Central.
That's
open
24
hours
a
day,
so
a
kid
or
family
can
go
there
anytime.
E
The
kids
are
always
very
kind
to
me
because
I
think
a
lot
of
kids
call
me
Mom
but
honest
to
goodness.
It
makes
me
worry
that
there's
some
little
little
kids
out
so
late
at
night
and
I'm.
Just
thinking
somebody's
got
to
care
about
these
kids
and
it
would
be
nice
if
they
had
a
place
to
go
there.
They
you
at
least
knew
they
were
safe
and
not
maybe
being
assaulted
on
the
street
if
something
else
happening
to
them
on
the
street,
so
I,
just
I,
really
I
can't
can
say
enough
how
much
I
wish.
E
We
would
do
something
like
that
with
the
Stop,
the
Violence
trust
fund
or
with
anything
else,
and
when
it
comes
to
the
stop
the
violence
trust
fund
I.
Want
you
to
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about
the
trust
fund,
because
there
is
a
lot
and
you
can
verify,
there's
a
lot
of
concern
and
comments
about
this
funding,
how
it's
being
used,
whether
it's
effective,
how
it's
being
misspent
all
sorts
of
before
it
was
even
allocated.
We
heard
I've
got
a
lot
of
phone
calls
correct.
C
Yes,
Madam
president,
before
I
pitch
it
to
Mr
Gilmore,
so
everyone
that
is
getting
money
from
the
trust
fund
will
be
in
an
ecosystem
with
them
to
help
give
them
support
to
help
them
get
to
capacity
whatever
that
capacity
is
additionally,
some
of
the
trainings
will
happen
in
this
building
on
a
monthly
or
bi-monthly
basis
to
help
give
them
what
they
need.
That's
that's
part
of
them
joining
by
them,
saying
we're
going
to
get
yes.
C
E
Before
he
does,
if
he
doesn't
just
want
to
say
so,
I
know
that
there
are
some
groups
that
did
not
receive
funding
because
they
didn't
have
programs
up
and
running.
But
some
did
receive
money
that
didn't
have
funds
programs
up
and
running
so
I
think.
Are
you
going
to
make
that
list
public
so
that
the
community
knows
because
we've
heard
before
people
asking
about
it
and
who
receives
the
funding?
Are
you
going
to
make
the
list
public.
E
D
E
D
Ahead
well,
yeah.
You
also
have
seen
the
list
of
actual
awardees
saw
the
list
who's
out
there,
publicized.
No,
you
didn't
vote
in.
That
was
no
that's
trying
to
make
sure
people
know
right.
No
man,
you,
you
agree.
City
council
has
shown
the
list
of
applicants
and
added
opportunity
to
to
weigh
in
on
any
of
those
that
they
did
not
think
would
be
qualified
to
more
appropriate
to
get
any
of
the
dollars.
So,
unfortunately,
no
one
was
no
one
was
struck
for
the
list,
and
that
was
great.
We
were
very
excited
about
that.
D
D
Half
of
them
have
already
done
that
and
some
of
them
and
their
money
has
already
been
sent
to
them,
and
the
other
half
is
still
we're
still
working
with
them
to
get
there
to
the
place
where
they
can
get
their
dollars
and
the
process
of
connecting
the
process
of
and
incorporating
them
and
introducing
them
and
publicizing
them
is
underway.
It's
just
only
beginning
or
the
very
beginning
of
this.
So
let.
E
Me
just
say
too,
I
think
that
a
lot
of
times
people
don't
understand
that
it
looks
like
you're
just
given
the
community
groups,
money
and
people
are
saying
we're
doing
it
for
political
purposes
and
on,
but
sometimes
you're
asking
people
to
come
to
the
table
to
volunteer
and
do
things
in
the
community
and
be
a
partner
with
you
and
they
see
you
getting
paid
or
other
people
getting
paid
and
they're.
Not
so
I
think
it's.
E
D
Well,
this
time
we
did
get
our
applications
for
a
total
of
about
nine
million
dollars,
and
so
we
couldn't
give
everybody
some
money,
but
the
next.
The
next
round
is
going
to
be
coming
up
in
January
and
there
were
more
than
welcome
to
apply
and
as
they
as
their
capacity
grows
and
they'll
be
and
they'll
be
ready.
They'll
be
able
to
get
that
money
as
well
yeah.
E
E
People
for
I
mean
really
because
I'm
thinking,
that's
part
of
the
problem
makes
me
so
upset
that
somebody
has
to
be
paid
to
show
that
they
care
about
kids
getting
shot,
but
at
the
same
time
there's
people
that
are
struggling
and
and
I
get
it,
and
so
they
feel
like
they're
trying
to
do
their
best
in
the
community
and
so
that
some
of
these
organizations
feel
like
they
did.
They
would
like
to
see
build
value
too,
and
so
that's
interesting.
D
D
H
H
We
speak
about
the
terminology
of
it
being
excuse
me,
the
disease
and
understanding
how
we
stop
the
transmission
of
this
starts
a
lot
sooner
than
what
this
grant
calls
for.
Just
to
make
it
understood
this
ground
is
Target
is
for
us
to
work
with
a
population
of
18
and
34
years
old,
and
we
felt
ourselves
being
pulled
as
needs
be
a
lot
more
into
the
school
space
to
interject
into
the
lives
of
younger
children
before
it
gets
to
the
point
of
gun
violence.
H
Hopefully-
and
so
we
understand
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
brainstorming
conversations
meetings
to
do
that,
but
just
want
to
make
it
understood
that
this
contract
has
us
just
targeted
to
work
with
18
to
34
year
old,
and
that
makes
it
tough
for
us
to
then
trans
transition.
A
lot
of
that
energy
and
work
to
this
younger
population.
That
we
know
needs
to
be
worked
with
so
that
in
five
ten
years,
we're
not
having
the
same
conversation
just
wanted.
Thank.
E
Think
that
I
think
the
more
people
understand
like
what
the
kids
are.
Really
epic
I
mean.
Can
you
imagine
I
mean
it's
just
it's
really.
It's
just
it's
shocking
what
the
kids
are
living
through.
To
be
honest,
it's
just
shocking,
and
so
I
want
to
do
what
we
can
do
to
help.
But
if
I'm,
tough
on
people
and
I
ask
questions
I'm
going
to
keep
doing
that
I'm
going
to
keep
asking
questions,
I'm
going
to
keep
demanding
answers
and
responses,
we
want
to
see
the
numbers
go
down.
E
We
want
to
see
them
live
a
life
that
they
deserve
to
live
so
for
me,
I
think
one
of
the
things
I'm
most
concerned
about
with
now
is
cyf
and
I.
Think
that
and
what
our
kids
are
going
through
and
what
we
can.
What
will
we
play
in
all
that
and
I
did
hear
that?
Is
it
true
that
the
county
might
be
reopening
some
Schumann
senate
or
something
similar
to
Schumann
Center
I
swear
I
just
heard
that
somewhere
and
I'm
just
thinking.
J
C
E
E
Okay:
okay,
that's
it
for
me!
I'm!
Sorry,
I
can
go
on
about
this
subject
because
I
did
I
did
work
with
in
the
schools,
and
you
know
it
to
me.
It's
just
I.
Don't
know
it's
shocking,
but
I
also
am
gonna.
I'm
gonna
be
I'm,
probably
the
tough
I'm,
probably
the
toughest
I
think
on
this
subject,
because
I'm
like
no
uh-uh
I'm,
not
playing
games
I
want
kids
to
have
real
answers.
They
deserve
that
much
okay!
Thank
you.
Everyone.
B
J
Example
of
that
is
that
again,
a
year
ago,
this
time
we
were
at
a
table
trying
to
pull
and
shape
what
this
year
would
look
like,
and
so
we've
learned
a
lot
over
the
year
and
we
will
have
some
recommendations.
We're
trying
to
partner
with
other
entities
of
I
didn't
realize,
like
there
was
a
request
need
of
issues
like
in
Northview
Heights.
We
are
now
partnering
with
new
places
and
we'll
start
an
absolute
program.
This
month,
there
again
as
an
example
to
deter
some
of
the
traffic
of
this
is
downtown.
J
We're
trying
to
also
do
a
satellite
piece
at
our
site
in
Homewood,
as
well
as
the
G
Center,
and
so
we
we
we.
We
are
assessing
the
pros
and
cons
the
ins
and
outs
of
year,
one
and
again
where
our
time
has
been.
Initially
again,
it
was
like,
let's
say,
hypothetically
10
towards
school.
We
are
now
kind
of
at
schools.
Every
day
we
have.
J
You
know
seven
schools
and
several
workers
in
schools
every
day
that
was
not
part
of
our
initial
shaping,
so
in
spite
of
it
not
being
in
the
formal
contract,
we
are
still
following
the
need,
as
a
request
so
again,
hopefully,
goals
to
get
with
brother
Jones
and
sit
down
and
look
at
what
was
how
do
we?
What
was
what
was
good
in
year
One?
What
can
we
change
and
how
do
we
go
into
you
to
stronger
and
better
more
visible,
and
how
else
can
we
help
that's
kind
of
a
planning
template
for
January
of
2023.
B
E
Which
actually
put
in
I
think
about
half
a
million
right,
almost
half
a
million
for
the
sports
programs.
Then
we
just
got
a
grant
from
Dick's
Sporting
Goods
for
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
ten
thousand
per
Council
district
for
athletic
programs.
But
we
put
in
money
for
athletic
and
Community
groups
to
help,
because
during
the
pandemic
we
I
just
want
to
say
real,
quick
during
the
pandemic.
We
know
that
those
are
the
people
that
kept
kids
off
the
street
for
the
most
part,
and
so
we
you
know,
we
don't
make
it
easier.
E
We
give
money
to
a
lot
of
people
when
that
arpa
fund
came
in,
and
so
we
took
the
money
for
the
kids
for
the
athletic
associations
because
they
deserve
some
of
the
money
for
all
that
they
did
to
keep
our
kids
off
the
street
and
keep
them
in
a
safer
place
and
a
lot
of
them
did
it
without
being
able
to
do
fundraising
and
all
that
sort
of
stuff.
So
I
won't
keep
keep
talking
about
it.
But
I
think
this
Council
was
is
well
aware
of
what
our
athletic
associations
do
for
our
communities.
E
But
we
want
to.
We
want
to
work
with
you,
so
just
remember
when
you're
out
there
and
you're
doing
things
there
are
also.
There
are
two
council
members
that
care,
but
there
are
really
nine
well,
there's
eight
and
there
will
be
a
ninth
council
member
of
the
care.
I
want
to
be
a
partner
with
you
and
everything
that
you
do
across
the
city.
We
want
to
be
able
to
help
and.
C
E
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
that
I
mean
I,
appreciate
the
meeting
the
other
day
but,
as
I
said
to
you,
I
said
Cornell
Jones
I
know
what
he
does.
I
see
him
I
know
him.
I
know
him
in
the
community.
People
in
the
community
know
him,
and
so
I'm
I
have
the
highest
respect,
so
I
I
mean
if
it
took
a
while,
because
I
mean
first
I'm
like
what
the
heck
is.
This
money.
You
know
I'm
thinking
here
we
go
we're
going
to
do
all
this
stuff
nothing's
ever
going
to
change.
E
G
E
A
M
A
A
A
A
I
think
that
what
I
have
tried
to
do
in
my
humble
way,
is
understand
this
and
spend
most
of
my
time
reading
and
trying
to
become
a
regional
expert,
not
that
I
am
but
at
least
understanding
what
the
data
and
the
research
says
right
and
so
I
wanted
to
I've
almost
tempted
to
have
another
post
agenda.
Is
we've
only
talked
about
half
the
work,
there's
really
four
kind
of
quadrants
of
the
work.
A
There
is
the
the
the
Outreach
team
that
we're
talked
about
right,
that's
sort
of
the
left
quadrant,
that's
we've
been
talking
about
in
in
the
plan
for
piece,
it's
called
Community
Partnerships
we've
talked
about
that
beneath
that
is
policing
how
they
interact
with
policing.
That's
really
the
focus
deterrent
model.
That's
that
that's
two
of
those
things.
A
The
the
third
thing
in
in
the
model
that
moves
us
a
little
bit
also
toward
the
public
health
model
is,
is
this
personal
support
the
person
Center
supports,
which
is
all
the
therapy
and
the
trauma-based
stuff,
the
hospital-based
programming,
the
social
worker
stuff?
We've
not
talked
about
that
quadrant
as
much
today,
but
it's
part
of
it
and
it's
absolutely
necessary,
and
then
the
last
thing
is
then
this
this
this
community
economic
transformation,
whether
it's
boarding
up
houses
or
better
lights
or
better
housing
or
Community,
can
community
building
right.
A
Those
are
the
sort
of
four
quadrants
of
the
work.
What
we're
attempting
to
do
as
a
city
is
to
do
something
that
is
comprehensive
and
coordinated,
that
all
four
quadrants
are
being
worked
on
at
the
same
time,
in
a
coordinated
fashion,
and
one
of
the
reasons
you
give
money
to
the
local
community
groups
is
not
just
to
make
them
feel
good,
but
to
invite
them
to
participate.
So
we
now
get
their
data.
We
now
get
their
their
activity.
We
can
track
what
they're
doing
on
one
hand.
A
On
the
other
hand,
we
can
provide
them
with
greater
as
Mr
as
Jones
talked
about.
We
can
give
them
greater
capacity.
So,
with
these
resources
a
little
bit
of
money
we're
giving
them,
we
both
get
the
information
from
them
because
they
require
to
give
us
what
they're
doing,
but
they
also
have
to
sign
up
for
our
training.
So
we
can
actually
help
them
improve
what
they're
doing
last
but
not
least
I'm
the
last
and
I
I
would
recommend
everybody
read
this
everybody
who
has
not
read
this
in
the
room.
A
Probably
all
of
you
have
read
it,
but
those
who
have
not
read
it
the
best
sort
of
description
of
the
work,
at
least
the
last
and
rate
the
most
recent
sort
of
book
that
talks
about
this
is
Thomas
apps
book
called
Bleeding
Out.
It's
really
really
really
helpful,
I
think
to
understand
and
he's
gotten
a
lot
of
publicity
he's
a
lawyer
about
training.
You
know
out
of
j,
John,
J,
School,
sort
of
thinking
and
one
of
the
things
he
talks
about.
That's
helped
me
think
about
this
differently.
A
A
We
we,
we
cannot
I,
don't
wanna
I
cannot
let
us
leave
this
place
to
act
like
if
we
stop
doing
this
work,
there's
a
chance
that
these
communities,
with
no
gas
stations
and
no
grocery
stores
and
no
food
stores
and
no
sit
on
restaurants
and
no
jobs
and
vacant
vacant
abandoned
houses,
are
ever
going
to
get
any
way
better,
they're,
never
going
to
get
better.
If
left
of
their
own
devices.
You
asked
me
that
I
heard
you
Anthony.
A
The
difference
between
you
and
I
were
were
little
is
when
you
walk
in
the
Homewood
in
the
1970s
there
were
grocery
stores.
There
were
drug
stores,
there
were
people
working
at
the
Mills.
In
my
neighborhood
there
were
people
who
were
making
a
decent
wage
and
they
had
morals
and
values
that
they
intercepted
to
those
kids,
and
you
got
spanked
by
me
and
the
neighbor,
because
it
wasn't
just
a
concentrated
poor
Community.
Now,
if
I
take
you
through
Homewood,
despite
all
of
our
work,
it
is
a
poor
place
where
there's
no,
they
are
living
in
hell.
A
They
are
living
in
chaos
right
now
now,
so
we
got
these
kids
who
are
already
living
in
hell
before
the
pandemic.
They
were
already.
You
know,
we've
done
some
walks
with
people
and
I.
Don't
I
don't
be
going
so
bad,
but
I've
taken
some
walks
with
people
who
have
said
they
have
seen
worse
conditions
in
third
world
countries
than
exist
in
places
in
Homewood.
There
are
places
in
third
world
countries.
There
are
better
equipped
than
places
in
some
of
the
districts.
I
represent
it's
sad,
but
it's
true.
So
we
have
this
really
really
hurt.
A
People
already
hurt
already
messed
up,
and
then
we
take
covet.
We
dump
it
on
them
and
what
happens
in
coping
well.
Fifty
percent
of
black
businesses
fail,
so
the
few
businesses
they
had
in
the
community
are
now
failing.
Their
parents
lose
their
jobs
right.
So
when
we're
First
Responders,
they
lose
their
job,
and
so
we
and
then
we
put
them
the
place
their
home
life
is
already
difficult.
The
place
where
they
got
relief
with
school
right.
That's
where
they
left
they
home
wasn't
the
place
was
safe
place
for
them.
School
was
their
safe
place.
A
They
got
meals,
they
got
teachers,
they
got
social
work
and
now
we
took
two
years
and
we
took
them
out
of
school.
We
left
them
in
this
pressure,
corporate
right
and
all
of
a
sudden.
They
leave
this
pressure
cooker,
having
been
on
Facebook,
having
paid
and
all
this
stuff
and
now
they're
woof,
and
then
we're
wondering
what
happened.
Well,
we
know
what
happened
right.
All
the
numbers
were
getting
down,
we've
been
doing
the
right
thing
now.
A
It's
interesting
I
learned
this
from
stock
market
I'll
read
with
what
app
says
about
and
then
I'll
stop
and
it's
like
I,
don't
like
my
My
Wife
puts
money
in
the
stock
market.
I,
don't
like
the
stock
market.
I
like
looking
at
my
money
in
the
bank,
but
I'm
I
get
overwhelmed,
overruled
right.
My
money
puts
money
in
the
stock
market
right.
You
know
what
happened
to
the
stock
market
some
years.
A
It
goes
up
some
years.
It
goes
down.
But
if
you
look
at
the
trend
over
10
years,
you've
been
successful,
I'm
going
to
suggest
to
you.
This
work
can't
be
judged
in
a
year
in
a
week
in
two
years.
It's
not,
it
doesn't
work
that
way.
You
have
to
make
a
commitment
to
the
work
over
decades
and
look
back
over
it
over
decades
and
see
where
the
trends
are
that,
because,
because
again,
it's
going
to
be
some
kids
wish
they
had
decades.
A
But
that's
what
he
just
said:
okay,
I'm
just
saying
that's
what
he
said
you
the
commitment
to
the
work,
at
least
for
me.
You
know
for
me
for
me,
you
know:
I
started
this
work
really
in
my
call
to
preach
right
and
I
want
to
get
faith
based
on
you,
but
I
have
learned
in
my
walk
with
God
in
my
work
in
the
church.
The
success
is
not
a
question
of
what
the
outcome
of
my
Ministry
was.
A
It
was
my
faithfulness
to
the
work,
in
other
words,
that
when
I
did
the
work
people
were
blessed.
It
wasn't
how
many
kids
went
to
Harvard,
although
I
had
kids
out
of
my
church
at
home
would
go
to
Harvard.
Now
how
many
kids
went
to
MIT
I
have
church
kids
out
of
my
church.
I
went
to
MIT.
It
was
not
how
many
kids
got
doctorates,
not
many.
A
How
many
lawyers
now,
how
many
psychology,
in
my
little
church
in
Homewood
we've
had
ivy
league
students,
we've
had
ivy
league
graduates,
we've
had
people
become
extremely
successful
in
a
little
Church
of
Homewood
and
I
did
their
homework,
but
it
it's
not
the
number
it's
the
years
of
faithfulness
that
matter
right.
It
didn't
matter
it
because
maybe
the
kid
didn't
go
to
Harvard.
Maybe
the
kids
just
didn't
shoot
himself
that
night
right
right.
A
That
was
just
as
successful
right
right,
but
that
was
just
as
successful
as
that
kid
who's
now
making
six
figures
that
that
child.
That
did
that
one
that
girl
that
did
not
have
the
baby
by
the
older
boy,
because
I
told
her.
She
was
somebody
and
maybe
she's
now
working
at
Walmart.
She
didn't
go
to
college
she's,
not
a
nurse,
but
she
didn't
have
a
child
without
a
a
man
that
would
make
her
doomed
to
Poverty
for
the
rest
of
her
life
and
now
I'll
in
all
in
my
thinking
is
with
baptism's
book.
A
He
says
this.
That
kind
of
persistence,
I've
talked
about
is
key
I've
already,
rather
than
letting
short-term
successors
or
failures
dictate
policy
choices.
He
writes
science
supports
setting
a
solid
plan
in
motion
and
sticking
with
it.
You've
got
to
accept
that
they're
going
to
be
some
bad
times
if
you're
remarkably
successful
in
your
city,
and
you
reduce
homicide
by
75
percent
you're,
still
going
to
have
a
bunch
of
tragedies,
there's
still
going
to
be
every
once
in
a
while,
a
child,
a
child
shot,
and
it
will
tear
your
heart
out.
A
So
you
have
to
find
a
way
to
have
this
blend
of
Hope
and
resiliency,
which
is
not
easy.
I
have
been
trying
to
be
part
of
the
solution
for
14
years.
We
are
today
today
at
the
place
where
we,
if
we
would
stick
with
this
for
the
next
10
years,
have
the
opportunity
to
see
transformational
change
in
the
African-American
community
and
in
poor
communities
in
our
city.
I
will
not
be
on
Council
in
the
next
decade.
I
won't
be
here,
I
mean
hopefully
I'll
be
around
right.
A
A
If,
if
we,
if
we
don't
follow
this
through
and
if
we,
if
we
don't
res,
if
we
are
strong
enough
and
I
think
the
mayor
is
we're
strong
enough
to
resist
that
needs.
Your
reaction
of
thinking
that
heavy
because
remember
these
are
black
and
brown
kids,
mostly
and
I,
don't
say
it
kind
of
I,
don't
say
anything:
I
try
not
to
talk
much,
but
the
new
shoes
we're
having
these
other
areas.
These
kids
aren't
from
those
communities.
The
kids,
the
shootings
on
the
South
Side,
are
not
by
kids
who
live
in.
A
They
don't
live
in
the
south
side
right
they're,
not
living
in
the
South
Side.
They
may
have
done.
They
shot
some
people
on
the
soft
side.
They
don't
live
there.
The
shootings
are
still
happening
by
kids
who
live
in
black
brown,
poor
communities.
We
know
who
they
look
like.
We
know
where
they
live
at
those
places.
Those
are
the
kids
that
are
doing
this
crime,
and
so
we
got
to
create
this
comprehensive
approach.
Yes,
we
would
deal
with
them
individually.
A
A
You
know,
and
people
say
wherever
likes
to
build
houses,
water
field
houses
because
I
absolutely
know
for
my
own
life,
you
can't
be
which
you
ain't
seen
and
if
I,
if
I
make
you
if
I
allow
you
to
live
in
a
place,
that's
horrid
and
downcast,
and
and
rats
and
rodents
and
and
poor
and
guttural.
How
are
you
going
to
ever
view
yourself
as
a
child
of
God?
A
Well,
maybe
God
does
care
for
me.
Let
me
think
about
myself
differently.
Let
me
think
about
my
activity
there
for
me,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
can
do
all
this
work.
If
these
kids
don't
see
themselves
differently,
if
they're
still
fatalistic
thinking
they're
going
to
die
at
30,
if
they
don't
see
themselves
differently,
they
don't
see
us
differently.
You
know
none
of
this
is
going
to
work
right.
None
is
going
to
work,
my
my
cousin,
who
got
shot
and
killed
on
a
home
of
base.
A
No
his
his
mother,
I,
don't
tell
the
story
almost
I
think
this
may
be.
The
person
I
talked
about
it
publicly,
trying
to
cry
his
mother
right
in
the
church,
and
he
was
a
teenage
boy.
He'd
say:
rev
he's
out
of
control.
Help
me
help
me
and
I
sat
down
with
my
he's.
My
cousin
I
saw
him
right.
You
know
before
he
had
his
first
body
and
he
shot
marble
people
he
killed.
Marvel
people
I
know
when
I
talked
to
him.
He
looked
at
me
like
I
was
in
the
church.
We
said.
A
Church
was
over,
we
sat
in
the
sanctuary.
I
talked
about
God,
he
looked
at
me
like
I
was
crazy.
I
talked
to
him
about
doing
the
right
thing
he
looked
at
me
like
I
was
crazy,
I,
said
son.
If
you
don't
stop
this,
if
you
don't
stop
this
life,
this
work
you're
gonna
die.
He
said,
I'm
gonna
die
anyway
only
thing.
He
said
he
looked
at
me
and
says:
I'm
gonna
die
anyway.
We're
in
the
prison
came
back
from
prison.
Two
blocks
from
my
church
got
mad
at
somebody.
Did
a
home
invasion.
A
The
person
in
the
home
invasion
shot
him
dead.
He
in
church
had
predicted
his
own
future.
He
had
chosen
that
day,
I
didn't
know
it
did
I
look
back
at
it,
and
so
my
view
is
okay.
What
do
we
do
so
because
I
couldn't
save
my
kid?
I
couldn't
save
my
cousin
right,
I
couldn't
save
I
tried,
I
had
nothing,
I
could
do
but
I've
spent
the
this
was
before
I
was
a
member
of
counselor
I
very
sure
to
talk
about
it?
I
have
spent
my
life
thinking
that
all
these
are
our
kids.
A
What
can
we
do
to
save
all
these
kids
right
to
show
them
I?
Couldn't
do
it
in
the
church
if,
if
the
church
would
have
done
it
I'd
be
in
the
church,
I'd
be
in
church
24
7.,
you
wouldn't
see
me
on
Council.
I'd
have
never
came
here,
I'd,
be
in
my
church
right
now,
I
left
my
church
because
I
saw
in
him
I
couldn't
reach
him
in
the
church.
I
tried,
I,
couldn't
I
tried,
I
cried
I
pray,
I
prayed
with
him.
I
couldn't
reach
him
in
the
church.
A
So
I
came
to
council
I've
tried
to
put
these
resources
in
the
community
because
I
know
this
is
the
only
way
to
reach
those
kids
to
give
them
a
chance.
Now
I
am
I,
am
I'll,
stop
talking
and
I,
because
I'm
I'm
I'll
get
overwhelmed
with
motion,
but
sometimes
a
lot
of
my
work,
I,
don't
I!
Don't
do
any
of
my
work
for
personality
but
I.
Do
it
all
the
work?
Because
I've
had
these
experiences
in
life?
You
know
I
grew
up
in
the
hood
I'm,
the
only
reason
I'm,
not
a
drug.
A
My
cousins
were
drug
dealers.
My
brother-in-law
was
drug
dealer.
My
family
membership
I
drew
up
in
the
game.
The
only
reason
I'm
not
a
drug
dealer
is
because
they
said
Ricky.
We
don't
want
you
in
the
game
right
I
wanted
to
be,
they
had
cars
and
money,
and
women
I
had
no
car,
no
money,
no
women,
you
know
they
I
wanted
I
wanted
some
of
that.
They
said
you're
smart.
You
can't
We're
Not
Gonna
Let,
You,
We're,
Not,
Gonna,
Let,
You,
I
I
saw
the
bricks
in
my
I'm,
not
I'll.
A
A
What
he
used
to
do
is
he
come
to
church.
He
died
too.
He
used
to
come
to
my
church
and
put
a
hundred
dollars
in
my
Bible.
When
I
wasn't
there,
he
go
in
the
Pulpit,
Bible
and
he'd.
Take
a
hundred
dollars
and
he'd
hide
it
in
the
Bible
right,
my
church.
He
would
come
and
let
him
in
he's
my
cousin,
lady
man,
they
knew
he
was
he'd
come
in
it
had
it
had
a
hundred
right,
I
I
tried
to
talk
to
him
out
of
life.
I
couldn't
get
him
out
of
life
right.
A
He
put
100
in
the
Bible
that
blessed
I
give
it
to
church,
but
it
it
was
in
him
to
do
right.
He
just
couldn't
get
there
and
the
church
he
wanted
to,
but
he
just
couldn't
get
there.
I
couldn't
get
him
through
the
church.
I'm
hopeful
I
am
more
hopeful
in
an
astronomy
and
I'm
I
I.
My
I
am
more
hopeful.
Today
we
are
putting
the
resources,
we
are
putting
the
commitment.
We
have
a
mayor
who's
committed
to
this.
This
is
our
time
to
do
this
work
in
a
comprehensive
way.
A
That's
transformational
and
historic
and
I
and
I
I
won't
see
the
end,
but
I've
been
here.
God
has
led
me
I'm,
like
Moses
right
I
might
Moses
I
didn't
get
in
the
promised
land,
but
he
took
me
to
the
Mountaintop
and
I've
seen
I've
seen
the
promised
land
I've
seen
what
we're
about
to
become
and
I'm
grateful
to
have
been
a
witness
of
what
God
has
done.
I'm.
N
So,
thank
you
all
my
name
is
Jason
rivers
and
also
part
of
the
Reach
team
and
lifelong
resident
of
Pittsburgh
worked
for
Pittsburgh
public
school
for
years
and
I
just
wanted
that
there
were
some
points
that
were
raised.
That
I
think
are
worth
conversation,
especially
knowing
that
there's
a
you
know
a
larger
society.
N
That's
watching
this,
and
there
was
the
ask
around
what
are
some
of
the
needs
and
something
in
my
short
time
being
a
part
of
the
Reach
team,
which
there
are
amazing
men
and
women
that
love
our
city
and
love
our
communities
doing
that
work,
something
that
I've
seen
and
observed
and
sensitive
to
Just
Around
trauma,
even
in
my
time
before
the
team.
It's
just
a
space
for
because
the
team
members
are
also
First
Responders
to
a
lot
of
things.
N
You
know
we
go
back
and
forth
and
I
hear
the
term
the
disease
you
know
used
often
and
I,
think
and
I
think
in
order
to
concede
to
that
which
I,
which
I
support
the
work
that's
being
done
and
the
way
that
we
talk
about
it
I
think
we
also
have
to
acknowledge
and
understand
that
it's
a
it's
part
of
an
American
problem
right.
It's
because
I
think
what
we
need
to
be
clear
on.
N
N
So
I.
Just
think
that
when
we
talk
about
trauma
and
Trauma
on
top
of
trauma
and
the
pressure
and
what
the
father
said,
that
I
think
is
important.
Is
you
know
the
fear
that
a
lot
of
our
young
people
live
with
the
stress
that
a
lot
of
our
young
people
live
with
in
a
lot
of
communities?
And
so
when
we
humanize
the
work,
we
understand
the
work
differently
and
so
I
know
those
around
the
table.
N
Don't
look
at
it
this
way,
but
because
larger
society
is
watching
I
think
it's
really
critical
that
when
we
talk
about
that
disease,
then
and
and
councilman
Lavelle,
you
talked
about
root
causes.
You
talked
about
the
history
and
I
think
that's
super
important
to
understand
that
it's
not
a
today
thing
right.
It's
it's
a
historical
thing
that
created
right
conditions
for
these
behaviors
to
occur
and
I
think
that
Collective
effort
is
one
that
this
group
is
doing
a
great
job
of
intervening
on
and
there's
more
work
to
be
done.
N
So
two
two
final
points:
I
think
a
cross-functional
approach
and
councilman
Burgess.
You
spoke
about
that,
but
I
think
it's
so
important
where
you
know
there's
more
time
and
energy
where
those
that
are
doing
the
work
real
time
because
I
see
them
as
experts
like
those
doing
the
work
on
the
ground
or
they
carry
expertise
with
them
and
learning
from
community.
And
how
rich
is
that,
if
there's
opportunity
for
cross-functional
work
between
organizations
leaders
of
systems
to
talk
about
how
we
resolve
this
challenge?
N
The
other
thing
that
I
think
is
important.
That
I
heard
a
lot
about.
Is
you
know
the
voice
for
those
that
are
directly
impacted
like
somewhere?
They
have
to
be.
You
know,
included
in
this
process
of
solution,
because
they
are
the
leaders
and
Protectors
of
their
spaces
and
our
community.
Our
city
is
just
full
of
brilliant
individuals,
some
misguided
and
some
that
have
lost
hope,
but
this
work
is
really
about
doing
that.
So
and
I
appreciate
what
you
said
around.
N
You
know
it's
just
not
going
to
be
solved
today,
but
we
have
to
make
a
commitment
to
it.
So
respect
for
that-
and
you
know
also
the
council
president
in
relationship
to
those
hard
questions,
asked
I,
think
they're
critical,
because
they
will
help
us
bring
out
the
best
and
because
one
life
lost
is
too
many
lives
lost
and
that's
the
way
that
you
know
those
that
are
doing
the
work
operate.
So
we
appreciate
those
pushes
and
I
think
those
are
important
for
us
to
get
to
the
critical
place
to
improve
our
city.
A
So
I
think
we've
had
a
great
conversation.
I
want
to
thank
again
Dr
Jones
Debbie
Jones,
and
he
is
I'm
back
to
the
church
world
right
Jones
and
to
all
the
Outreach
workers.
Taylor
has
been
in
this
world
as
long
as
I've
been
in
this
world
right
and
so
we're
grateful
grateful
for
the
parties
I'm
grateful
for
Council,
because
because
Council
has
funded
this
and
when
we
say
this
again,
the
mayor
of
Pittsburgh
has
not
funded
this.
A
This
work
has
been
funded
by
the
members
of
city,
council
and
I'm
very
proud
to
be
a
part
of
council,
because
this
work
would
only
occur
because
of
the
of
the
leadership
of
councilwoman
Smith
and
the
Partnerships
that
Council
has
adopted
and
working
together,
Council
novel
and
others
that
Council
has
has
created
to
stop
the
violence
fund
and
Council
has
decided.
This
funding
is
important.
I'm.
E
Just
going
to
end
it,
if
you
don't
mind,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
work
and
thank
you.
Councilman
Lavelle
for
his
work
and
I
think
that
sometimes
like
we're
getting
a
lot
of
text
messages
from
people
asking,
how
can
they
be
a
part
of
things?
How
can
they
get
contracts?
How
can
they
do
things?
I
think
people?
Sometimes
we
get
a
lot
of
negativity.
It's
because
people
want
to
be
a
part
of
it.
E
So
I
think
you
know
helping
people
become
engaged
in
the
process
is
really
important,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
I
fight
with
him
all
the
time,
but
I
know
that
his
heart
is
a.
It
really
wants
to
do
what's
right
for
the
community,
so
sometimes
I
tolerate
them
a
little
bit
more
than
I
should
but
I
seriously
want
to.
E
L
I,
just
have
a
quick
I,
just
I,
don't
want
long
drawn
out
answers
or
anything
like
that,
but
I
just
want
to
address
one
thing.
First
of
all,
thank
you.
Councilman
LaBelle,
council
president
for
your
leadership
on
this.
Okay,
you
I
know
you're
very
passionate
about
this
I
happen
to
think
the
most
effective
means
of
getting
to
children,
young
people,
adults
as
well,
is
through
faith.
L
J
J
We
can't
prosthetize
and
say
you
may
need
to
pay,
but
there's
different
ways
of
reaching
people
and
I
think
we
do
that
every
day
right,
you
know,
values
on
walls
and
again
everyone
will
be
who's
at
the
table.
Pausing
we
report
into
the
lives.
We
can't
come
into
contact
with
and
try
to
help
them
become
more
productive.
L
Yep,
that's
good
to
know
so.
Yes,
you
do
speak
about
faith
and
to
about
God
to
these
kids.
That's
important
for
me
to
know
I'm
very
familiar
with
this
gentleman
next
to
me
and
his
story
and
I
think
people
who
have
lived
a
lot
lived.
It
are
the
best
people
to
be
out
there
speaking
and
teaching
about
it.
So
thank
you
all
for
for
all
you
do
you
have
my
confidence
I.
