Today's
town
hall
meeting
topic
is
city
programming
for
black
youth.
A
As
mentioned
one
of
one
concern
across
our
city
that
people
have
is
programming
for
city
youth,
and
it
needs
to
be
noted
that,
through
the
office
of
equity,
one
of
the
goals
is
equity
within
programming
for
black
youth
and
over
the
years
we
have
worked
to
increase
our
summer
youth
employment
program
as
one
example
to
give
students
both
the
hard
skills
and
soft
skills
they
need
to
be
successful
in
their
career
and
rev.
B
It's
really
been
a
great
program,
it's
in
twofold,
there's
the
high
school
kids
from
14
to
18
slot
and
then
there's
a
second
slot
for
older
young
people
18
to
22..
I
think
when
I
first
came
to
council,
I
I
can't
remember:
we
may
have
spent
300
000
now
we're
way
over
a
million
dollars.
It
has
been
one
of
the
most
successful
things
that
we've
done
as
a
city.
B
B
At
the
same
time,
it
teaches
them
the
soft
skills,
the
people,
skills
and
the
communication
skills
they're
being
placed
not
just
cutting
grass,
and
you
know,
playing
basketball,
but
they're
also
being
placed
at
some
of
our
fortune
500
and
corporate
entities
where
they're
learning
account
and
actually
learning
what
it's
like
to
work
every
day
in
a
professional
workplace.
A
Yeah,
which
is
tremendous
because
part
of
what
we
know
is
that
for
many,
our
youth
will
actually
help
in
many
many
ways
educate
their
parents
because
of
the
educational
system,
because
so
many
of
our
parents
have
not
gone
very
far
in
their
own
learning.
When
these
children
are
coming
home.
With
these
skills
and
with
this
education,
they're,
actually
informing
a
much
larger
ecosystem,
which
ben,
which
is
largely
beneficial
to
the
black
community
as
a
whole.
B
Yeah
because
the
job
markets
have
changed
when
I
was
a
kid,
my
uncles
all
went
to
the
meals
and
could
immediately
go
from
high
school
to
employment.
That's
not
quite
true.
The
new
jobs
are
going
to
be
mostly
in
technology,
so
we
have
to.
We
have
to.
We
have
to
eliminate
the
digital
divide
and
prepare
these
young
people
for
the
positions
that
the
technology
the
technology
center
is
going
to
provide
if
they're,
not
tech
savvy.
B
If
they're,
not,
of
course,
internet
competent,
it's
gonna
be
very
difficult
for
them
to
have
employment
in
the
new
in
the
new
business
economy.
Well,
good!
So
tonight
we
are
honored
to
be
joined
by
chief
equity
officer
and
deputy
chief
of
staff,
majestic
lane
max
dennison,
digital
equity
and
inclusion
manager
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
joshua
gillum
gilliam.
My
brother's
keeper
coordinator,
welcome
to
this
evening's
town
hall.
A
Absolutely
so
maybe
we
can
begin
with
chief
lane
one.
Maybe
if
you
could
just
do
two
things,
one
just
for
anyone
who
may
not
have
seen
this
previously.
If
you
could
just
tell
us
what
the
office
of
equity
is
and
then
maybe
from
there,
if
you
could
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
administrations,
the
mayor's
sort
of
goals
and
priorities
on
in
terms
of
black
youth
programming.
C
Thank
you.
So,
in
short,
the
office
of
equity
is
an
office
created
in
may
of
2019
as
an
evolution
of
an
engagement
around
neighborhood
empowerment.
But
we
started
to
understand
that
our
issues
that
were
going
on
in
our
community
were
not
just
neighborhood
issues
but
were
truly
racial
issues,
truly
gender
issues
and
issues
that
were
cutting
across
the
city
to
have
negative
impacts
on
many
black
people
within
within
our
city
and,
of
course,
our
region.
C
But
we
we
focus
on
on
the
city,
so
it
was
to
really
break
things
down
and
to
identify
what
were
some
of
the
issues
and
then
partner
with
peop
people,
like
you,
know
the
council,
people
and
other
folks
on
solutions
to
that.
But
we
wanted
to
root
it.
We
want
to
identify
it
and
call
it
what
it
was
to
be
moving
for
equity
for
all
citizens
of
our
city,
but
especially
obviously
african-american
citizens,
who
have
been
here
for
a
long
time,
and
so
for
you
to
your
second
point
within
the
idea
of
equity.
C
We
know
that
equity
is
not
just
something
that
happens
at
one
time
or
one
event.
You
know
the
equity
is
about
a
culture
and
it's
about
a
entire
process
and
and
looking
at
people
from
you
know
cradle
to
career,
and
so
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
really
start
to
think
about
what
are
the
things
that
matter
for
young
people
and
for
black
youth
in
particular,
who
we
know
through
the
education
system
and
through
engagement
with
the
criminal
justice
system,
often
find
themselves
having
negative
impacts
and
often
find
themselves.
C
You
know
having
indicators
that
show
that
things
are
inequitable
at
a
very
young
age,
so
one
it
was
the
identification
of
how
do
we
connect
to
that
which
at
that
point
was
the
kind
of
broadest
national
push
towards
black
men
right?
And
that,
of
course,
is
you
know
my
brother's
keeper
work
that
has
been
happening.
C
That
hadn't
been
happening
with
president
obama
and
still
is
happening
all
across
the
country,
and
josiah
will
talk
a
bit
about
that,
and
that's
just
really
connecting
our
work
with
this
national
network
and
also
with
local
people
who
have
been
and
are
doing
that,
work
coordinating
it
and
then
also
expanding
based
on
the
six
core
areas
that
my
brother's
keeper
began
to
talk
about.
So
really
was
aligning
us
with
people
across
the
country
around.
How
do
we,
you
know,
think
about
black
men,
black
boys
and
men,
and
also
kind
of
focus
on
that
population?
C
Secondly,
was
the
idea,
as
both
both
you
have
talked
about?
We
know
about
the
pittsburgh
of
the
past.
We
know
about
the
pittsburgh
or
the
present,
what's
happening
with
the
pittsburgh
of
the
future
and
for
a
city
that
has
been
the
pioneer
and
maybe
actually
the
most
important
city
in
the
world
for
for
ai
and
self-driving
cars,
and
things
like
that.
That's
happening
just
literally
in
oakland
and
in
hazelwood.
How
are
we
thinking
about
how
our
young
people
are
going
to
be
engaged
and
how
are
we
using
our
assets
right?
C
C
So
really
it
was
this
broad,
broad
view,
and
this
is
you
know,
the
the
work
that
you
hear
about
that
max
does
is
also
in
connection
with
much
of
the
other
work
that
goes
on
inside
of
our
our
rec
centers
inside
of
our
physical
assets.
But
it's
really
about
how
are
we
giving
a
comprehensive
experience
right?
C
How
do
we
make
sure
that
people
are
getting
this
comprehensive
experience
and
getting
things
of
the
future
and
being
connected
to
the
resources
that
they
need
in
order
to
flourish
as
young
people,
and
also
just
to
say
one
more
thing
about,
learn
and
earn
this?
You
know
and
the
great
work
and
councilman
burgess
thank
you
for
your
role
in
the
on
the
advisory
board.
C
I
serve
as
a
major
representative
on
the
partner
for
work
and
what
we
found
is
that
to
your
point
now,
we're
not
just
serving
young
people
from
11
to
15
11
to
16,
but
actually
college
students
who
are
coming
back
to
pittsburgh.
Black
college
students
are
coming
back
to
pittsburgh,
giving
them
opportunities
to
work
at
mellon
bank
upmc,
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
We
actually
hired
a
young
person
who
worked
with
us
during
the
summer
and
they
began
to
work
in
in
hr
at
the
city.
B
So
max
talk
about
the
programs,
we
know
that,
unfortunately,
many
of
our
young
people,
their
exposure
to
the
internet,
is
through
their
cell
phone.
They
they
some
of
them.
You
know,
don't
really
know
how
they
they're
around
computers,
but
they
may
not
have
laptops.
They
may
not
even
have
computers
at
the
home
so
kind
of.
What
are
we
doing
in
this?
What
kind
of
programs
are
you
you
doing
to
kind
of
deal
with
the
you
know,
digital
the
digital
divide
and
bringing
inclusion
in
for
our
young
people
across
the
city.
E
So
so
the
initiative
that
we
that
I
actually
work
on
is
rector
tech
and
the
way
I
kind
of
look
at
recto
tech
is,
if
you
think,
of
an
of
an
umbrella
because
we
do
want
to
have
a
comprehensive
experience,
not
just
tech.
But
how
do
you
take
a
kid?
That's
10
years
old,
that's
growing
up
in
on
the
hill
district
or
bell
silver
and
get
him
to
a
computer
science
degree.
And
what
will
he
need
from
10
to
that
age?
And
how
can
we
help
in
that
pipeline?
E
So
I'm
just
going
to
outline
some
of
the
programs
we're
working
on
right
now
and
how
they
kind
of
work
along
with
the
pipeline.
So
every
tuesday,
from
four
to
five
kids
can
sign
on
with
me
with
the
city,
and
it's
called
coding
with
mr
max
and
this
we
take
them
through
every
week.
We
work
on
a
separate
project,
so
it
doesn't
matter
if
it's
your
first
time
or
your
50th
time
we're
going
to
work
on
something
different
and
the
project
is
beginning
to
end
within
that
hour
and
a
half
time
frame.
E
So
we
learn
javascript,
which
is
the
most
used
language
in
the
world.
We
use
python
and
these
languages
may
be
unfamiliar
to
the
audience
listening,
but
these
are
the
languages
that
are
that
create
netflix.
These
are
the
languages
that
create
facebook
and
all
the
other
technologies
that
we
use.
So
when
I'm
talking
to
the
children,
I
say:
hey,
do
you
use
netflix?
If
you
do,
you
should
learn
python.
E
Do
you
use
facebook?
Do
you
use
instagram
snapchat
in
a
way
that
they
feel
connected
to
you
know
you
just
say:
hey:
do
you
know
how
to
code
python,
it's
gonna
seem
unfamiliar
to
them,
so
we
have
coding
with
mr
max
every
tuesday.
E
We
also
have
our
clubhouse,
where
we
partner,
we
partner
with
other
organizations
and
just
to
give
different,
looks
at
stem
oftentimes.
My
specialty
is
coding
computer
programming,
software
development,
but
there's
so
much
more
to
technology
and
stem
than
just
coding.
There's
artificial
intelligence,
machine
learning,
video
gaming
there's
a
million
different
ways
you
can
get
into
tech,
so
we've
been
partnering
with
stem
coding
lab
and
some
of
the
programmers
over
there.
That
just
give
different
looks,
and
this
happens
once
a
month
again.
E
This
is
all
digital
for
the
time
being,
but
you
can
come
in
and
you
can
build
a
video
game
maybe
one
month
and
then
the
next
month
you
may
build
a
website
just
so
we
give
them
a
different
mix,
one
of
the
most
thing,
one
of
the
most
exciting
things
we've
been
working
on
and
we've
only
done.
E
Two
is
really
a
conversation
called
tech
talks
and
what
we've
done
with
tech
talks
is
we
brought
in
stem
professionals
that
are
actually
black
and
brown
or
women
and
we're
having
conversations
with
them
about
what
it's
like
to
be
a
stem
professional?
Now
I
think
that
is
probably
one
of
the
most
important
themes
because
oftentimes,
you
may
have
a
kid
who
wants
to
be
in
tech
but
has
never
seen
a
computer
engineer
has
never
seen
an
a
structural
engineer
and
we've
had
two
people.
E
We
have
jamal
davis,
who
works
with
user
interface
and
interface
design
and
he's
breaking
down
terms.
That
may
be
difficult
to
the
general
public
and
they
may
not
have
a
person.
They
can
call
on
the
phone
and
talk
to
or
ask
questions
about
these
things,
but
he
broke
it
down
to
such
a
simplified
manner
that
if
you
paid
attention
to
those
conversations,
you
could
get
a
ground
level
into
what
it
would
be
like
to
be
a
ux
or
a
ui
designer.
E
We
also
had
tiffany
marie
who's,
a
perry
graduate
born
and
raised
in
the
city
and
now
she's,
making
a
ton
of
money
as
an
engineer
in
dc
and
she's
just
breaking
down
the
barriers.
What
you're
going
to
face,
if
you're,
a
young
woman
you
want
to
be
in
tech,
she
actually
had
a
counselor
who
told
her
she
should
go
into
nursing,
because
tech
wasn't
a
feel
for
women.
So
we
want
to
have
these
conversations,
because
young
ladies
may
want
to
be
an
engineer
and
may
not
have
anybody
around
them.
E
Lastly,
we
have
a
couple
things
coming
up
this
summer:
we're
partnering
with
stem
coding
lab
to
provide
a
six-week
camp
in
which
the
kids
will
learn,
robotics
to
learn
some
ai
and
some
other
computer
science
it'll
be
held
at
phillips,
recreation
center
and
it'll
be
all
through
the
week.
We're
really
excited
about
partnering
with
them
and,
lastly,
we're
still
working
to
implement
our.
E
We
were
part
of
a
relationship
with
digital
harbor
out
of
baltimore,
and
we
were
granted
the
national
science
foundation
grant,
which
will
allow
us
to
partner
with
other
community
organizations
to
implement
stem
learning.
So
those
are
the
five
main
things
we're
working
on,
but
they're
all
surrounded.
A
So
before
we
move
on
real
quick
cause,
I'm
embarrassed
enough
to
acknowledge
that
I
didn't
know
how
some
of
what
you
just
said
for
the
for
someone
watching
or
for
even
if,
as
I
know
of
other
small
children,
how
do
excuse
me
what's
the
easiest
way
for
them
to
get
involved
with
coding
with
mr
max
or
the
six
week
program
at
phillips
is
say
just
go
to
the
city
website
like
how
should
they
get
their
children
engaged.
E
So
I'm
glad
you
said
that
so
you
can
go
to
the
city
page.
We
have
our
own
page,
recto
tech
and
everything
we're
working
on
is
on
that
page.
You
can
click
a
link
and
sign
up
immediately
and
then
it'll
give
you
all
the
instructions
and
the
places
you
need
to
go
even
the
coding
with
mr
max-
and
I
that's
kind
of
how
I,
if
you're
scared,
if
you're
afraid,
if
you
don't
really
know
anybody
and
you
think
you're
interested
in
tech
or
you
think,
you're
interested
in
coding.
E
I
would
tell
you
to
sign
up
for
coding
with
mr
max
we've
had
kids
as
young
as
eight
seven
jump
on
all
the
way
up
to
16
17,
and
then,
if
you
don't
like
it,
it's
only
one
session.
I
only
took
one
hour
out
of
your
life
and
you
could
go
on
doing
whatever
you're
doing,
but
if
you
do
like
it
we're
there
consistently
and
the
reason
why
you
know.
When
I
talked
to
the
director
ross
chapman
my
director
ross
chapman,
I
was
telling
him
that
we
have
to
have
consistent
programming.
E
That's
part
of
the
problem
is
that
you
get
the
kids
feet
wet
and
then
they
go
for
two
or
three
weeks
and
then
they
can't
find
anywhere
else
to
learn.
So
we
have
to
have
consistent
programming,
so
rain
sleet
snow.
If
you
have
a
computer,
you
have
wi-fi,
which
is
important,
why
we
have
to
attack
the
digital
divide
and
make
sure
every
kid
has
a
computer
in
our
house.
You
could
come
on.
E
C
Well,
I
can
just
jump
in
if
I
could
just
jump
in
real
fast
just
to
to
talk
about
some.
C
I
think
what
max
is
doing-
and
you
know
we
may
say-
okay,
you
know
max
is
doing
coding
for
kids
between
four
and
five,
but
we
were
actually
chosen
for
a
national
grant
that
he
kind
of
spoke
up
with
digital
harbor
out
of
baltimore,
who
are
the
pioneers
kind
of
really
looking
at
digital
education
for
young
people
in
neighborhoods
in
very
real
ways
and
received
a
grant,
along
with
the
national
science
found
from
the
national
science
foundation.
C
To
that
end,
so
I
think
my
point
about
that
is
to
say
that
what
we've
really
been
thinking
about
is
how
are
we
going
to
start
prepping,
our
young
people
for
the
future,
and
how
do
we
give
them
the
base
and
the
base
actually
coming
from
work?
That
is
happening
in
the
city
right.
So
it's
not
saying
you
have
to
go
to
another
program
or
you
know,
and
I
I
support
all
the
programs
that
have
been
happening
supported
by
philanthropy
and
also
by
some
of
our
universities.
C
But
how
can
the
city
actually
do
this
because
we
bemoan
how
tech
is
harming
our
neighborhood
in
negative
ways,
but
aren't
always
thinking
about
how
we're
going
to
be
the
solution
and
to
start
to
turn
that
around?
So
that's
something
that,
through
this
administration,
we've
been
able
to
start
thinking
about
and
doing.
B
I
think
we
can
have
a
better
outcome
if
we
have
all
hands
on
deck,
if
we
make
the
education
of
young
black
kids
the
priority
of
the
city
and
then
use
all
the
resources,
the
school
district,
the
mayor's
office
council
after
school
programming,
social
services,
church
communities,
I
think
in
order
to
get
the
impact,
especially
since
kovac
is
going
to
take
all
of
us
to
catch
the
web.
That's
my
soapbox
joshua
talk
to
us
about
our
brother's
keeper,
explain
to
us
what
it
is
and
how
how
the
city
is
involved.
B
D
Sir
yeah,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
definitely
want
to
you,
know
echo
what
chief
lane
and
max
have
talked
about.
Rep
detects
super
worth
looking
up,
not
just
because
of
the
implementation
of
programming
that
they've
been
doing
or
coding
with
mr
max
they've
been
doing
videos
and
stuff
too.
All
very
compelling
they've
been
raising
money
about
this
on
a
national
level
to
support
these
activities.
So
it's
encouraging.
I
encourage
folks
to
check
it
out,
so
my
brother's
keeper
chief
lane
mentioned
it
at
the
beginning.
D
I
think
sometimes
it's
easy
to
kind
of
explain
mbk
to
start
with,
by
what
it's
not
so.
Mbk
is
not
a
non-profit
organization.
Nor
is
it
a
program.
It's
not
like
a
josiah's
program
with
young
kids
or
anything
like
that.
D
What
it
is
is
an
initiative
and
it's
collective
impact,
so
it
has
all
these
goal
areas.
It
works
in
different
impact
areas.
It
convenes
and
connects
I'll,
give
I'll,
give
two
analogies
and
then
an
example
of
recently
I
think
kind
of
embody
it.
So
I
like
to
describe
mbk-
and
this
is
max
terminology
here
as
an
api.
D
So
you
know
facebook,
twitter
instagram.
These
are
all
different
systems,
but
at
some
point
someone
writes
a
little
bit
of
code
so
that
if
you
want
to
post
a
picture
on
instagram,
you
can
post
it
to
facebook
into
twitter.
At
the
same
time,
you
don't
build
another
system
to
do
that.
The
api
is
what
allows
those
different
systems
to
communicate.
So
that's
the
first
analogy.
The
second
is,
I
like
to
say
that
I'm
a
basketball
player
in
a
football
town.
What
do
I
mean
by
that?
D
Well,
my
family
has
roots
in
basketball,
and
it's
something
I
played
growing
up.
Pittsburgh
is
a
big
sports
town,
it's
also
a
big
football
town
and
when
you
look
around
whether
it's
pps
that
was
just
mentioned
or
the
department
of
human
services,
the
health
department,
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
these
are
all
very
big
entities.
These
are
these
are
huge
institutions
and
there's
long-standing
history
and
then
there's
strategy,
and
then
you
try
to
dedicate
yourself
to
a
way
of
doing
business
and
it
can
kind
of
lead
sometimes
to
a
bit
of
a
puristic
dynamic.
D
But
that's
football
to
me,
I'm
more
basketball!
I
like
making
bounce
passes
and
chess
passes.
I
like
letting
folks
connect
and
get
on
the
way,
because
you
know
having
started
working
on
my
brother's
keeper,
while
in
the
nonprofit
space,
I've
never
been
able
to
be
all
things
to
all
people
but
doing
work
in
this
region.
There's
usually
already
someone
working
on
something
you
can
connect
them
and
they
can
get
off
to
the
races.
So
my
brother's
keeper
was
founded
in
2014
in
the
wake
of
the
trayvon
martin
murder.
D
So
a
lot
of
common
notes
to
things
we've
seen.
You
know
all
too
often
in
the
past
calendar
year,
much
less.
You
know
the
recorded
history
of
of
the
nation
and
and
certainly
recent
history
and
here
locally
mayor,
peduto
and
county
executive
fitzgerald
accepted
the
challenge.
So
it's
had
a
political
involvement,
including
folks
from
city
council
like
yourselves
and
other
elected
officials
since
day
one-
and
it's
really
been
about
you
know
what
work
is
happening
at
the
community
level.
D
So
the
example
I
mentioned
to
you
our
theme
for
my
brother's
keeper
this
year,
with
a
focus
on
black
men
and
boys,
is
wellness.
D
We
want
to
emphasize
and
uplift
and
highlight
any
opportunity
for
wellness
in
whatever
that
term
can
mean
financially
education,
wise
emotionally
physically
mentally
we
partnered
with
p3r
the
the
marathon
organization
and
a
bunch
of
organizations
on
a
parks
initiative,
because
our
parks
are
assets,
it's
a
great
way
to
get
out
and
about
get
some
sunlight
exercise
that
health
and
wellness
theme
right
mpk
was
invited
to
be
a
part
of
some
of
those
discussions
and
they
had
a
an
event
at
bergwin
park
in
and
there's
a
bunch
of
tables
like
we
used
to
do
all
socially
distanced
with
all
the
covered
protocols
and
at
the
my
brother's
keeper
table,
we
had
the
mission
continues,
which
is
a
great
post.
D
911
vet
largely
run
service
project
organization.
That's
had
incredible
projects
in
hazelwood
other
places
like
homewood
and
stuff,
like
that
and
city
parks,
and
I
think
that
really
just
imply
it
kind
of
exemplifies.
What
mbk
is
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
engaging
with
mbk,
you
get
to
learn
about
how
the
city
thinks
about
its
facilities.
Catherine
vargas
from
city
parks.
Was
there
with
me
talking
about
stuff
that
max
is
doing
in
rec
centers
talking
about
upcoming
opportunities
for
young
people
in
our
parks?
We
also
have
the
mission
continues.
D
A
community
partner
folks
want
to
get
involved,
you
know
give
back,
and
then
they
can
meet
all
the
other
organizations
that
are
there
venture
outdoors.
They
could
do
yoga,
they
went
on
like
an
urban
hike.
They
found
some
cool
art
from
baron
batch,
so
it's
really
about
the
connections
mbk
and
about
the
opportunities
that
present
themselves.
Once
you
take,
you
know
that
approach
we've
been
working
on
a
bunch
of
things
recently
I'll
highlight
a
couple
of
them.
The
first
is
a
plot,
a
project
with
the
obama
foundation.
D
So
mbk
is
it's
nationwide.
There
are
hundreds
of
cities,
communities
and
tribal
nations
that
are
part
of
the
network.
Pittsburgh
and
allegheny
county
are
just
two
of
those
and
the
network
of
hundreds,
we're
working
with
the
bloomberg
associates
and
the
obama
foundation
on
something.
That's
called
the
equity
indicators
platform,
something
that
you,
council
people,
I
think,
will
be
very
interested
in.
I'm
excited
to
talk
with
you
more
about
it.
It's
a
dashboard.
D
It
takes
a
lot
of
the
the
data
from
the
regional
data
sharing
agreements
through
the
county
with
various
school
districts,
community-based
organizations,
public
safety,
etc
and
puts
them
in
this
very
interesting
user
and
easy-to-use
user
interface,
so
that
community-based
organizations,
researchers
folks
at
the
city
can
run
reports
themselves.
Think
about
the
gender
equity
report,
but
that
data
being
at
the
tip
of
your
finger
and
able
to
be
played
with,
and
you
can
compare
and
contrast.
Okay,
what
does
what
does
lit
the
third
grade?
D
Literacy
rates
look
like
compared
to
high
school,
graduation
or
folks,
coming
from
the
re-entry
into
the
re-entry
space.
You
know,
how
are
we
looking
at
career
attainment
from
there?
So
that's
a
that's
a
fun
project,
again
systems
connecting
and
then
providing
a
tool
to
explore
those
realities
and
we've
also
been
working
with
healthy
ride,
which
is
the
ride-sharing
bike
organization
on
this
series
of
rides
through
an
app
they
have
through
a
national
bike
advocacy
organization
organization
called
ride
spot.
The
idea
here
is
very
simple:
again:
the
parks
are
assets.
D
We've
got
this
great
ride.
Share
system
we've
always
community
based
organizations
that
have
out-of-school
time
programs
or
just
engagements
with
youth.
This
app
lets
us
record
accessible
rides
from
those
ride-sharing
bikes
to
a
local
park
to
other
local
assets
in
a
community
that
then
an
after-school
program
or
a
mentoring
program
can
use
to
retrace
there's
a
cool
social
feature
and
take
pictures
and
stuff
of
the
route.
You
know
fun
facts
about
it
things
like
that
and
then
it's
just
ready
made.
You
know
there
you
could
you
could
do
you
could
do
five.
D
Six
seven
eight
bike
rides
as
a
non-profit
just
using
the
app
going
to
a
healthy
ride,
rack
and
and
doing
it.
So
those
are
a
little
bit
of
examples,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
more
questions
and
do
a
deeper
dive
as
we
continue
to
talk.
But
that's
what
mbk
is
you
know
it's
about
the
connections
and
about
what
we
can
do
in
partnership.
You
know
with
with
community.
A
So
the
one
project
you
mentioned
in
part
by
ignorance-
I
was
not
aware-
was
the
equity
indicators.
Yep
help
me.
You
gave
me
one
example.
So
let
me
give
I'ma
ask
a
question.
You
tell
me
if
this
would
fit
in
at
all,
there's
been
a
recent
conversation
around
sort
of
black
displacement
within
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
A
You're,
probably
aware
we
had
a
public
hearing
today,
yeah
people
called
in
to
talk
about
how
many
blacks
have
left
the
city
of
pittsburgh
in
recent
years.
I
think
it's
7
000,
since
I
forget,
which
date
would
the
equity
indicators
be
able
to
play
a
role
in
trying
to
better
understand
why
the
displacement
has
occurred
or,
what's
going
on
there.
D
I
think
so
yeah
you
could
explore
various
factors
that
might
be
at
play
for
how
a
family
or
say
a
young
professional.
That's
trying
to
find
you
know
a
job
is
experiencing
life
here
in
pittsburgh
along
those
lines,
and
sometimes
it's
not
always
immediately
obvious.
It's
not
just
one
factor
right,
which
is
why
this
dashboard
is
so
interesting.
Dashboards,
aren't
a
new
idea:
there's
a
bunch
of
dashboards,
I'm
on
the
advisory
board
for
the
health
department's
office
of
bios
prevention.
There's
a
homicide
dashboard
that
they
put
out.
D
You
know
we've
seen
this
kind
of
thing
before,
but
this
one's
interesting,
because
it
has
all
these
different
data
sets
and-
and
I
didn't
say
this
before
it's
open
source,
so
there
will
be
a
v1
that
has
all
the
the
the
data
that
the
county
and
dhs
and
all
these
players
have
in
it
to
begin
with.
But
then
we
can
work
with
university
partners.
Folks,
like
you
on
city
council,
to
build
on
it
from
there
think
like
create
lab.
D
I
think
maybe
like
some
of
these,
these
these
tech
partners,
we
could
even
make
it
a
more
valuable
tool
for
our
current
purpose
and
then
in
prep
for
this,
because
it's
you
know
locally
driven
they
it's
our
indicators,
it's
our
data.
It's
like
you
know
how
we
have
it
set
up.
I
sent
them
the
equity
indicators
work.
We
did.
I
sent
them
the
gender
equity
report.
I
sent
them
the
original
mbk
playbook.
I
sent
them
the
welcoming
pittsburgh
roadmap.
D
You
know
so
that
they
can
see
what
we've
been
talking
about
and
what
we've
been
tracking
so
that
it's
even
more
locally
focused
and
we'll
be
the
only
there's
two
regions
in
the
entire
nation
that
are
going
to
debut
this
platform,
houston
and
harris
county
and
pittsburgh
and
allegheny
county.
So
we
have
a
pretty
compelling.
You
know
opportunity
not
just
to
keep
it
hyper
local,
which
is
the
value
for
us,
but
I
think
also
to
engage.
D
D
We
can
set
up
a
demo
for
you,
they're,
aiming
for
the
end
like
within
three
weeks
for
the
first
version
to
be
live.
The
only
reason
I'm
hesitating
is
because
it's
like
it's
a
tech
project
max
will
tell
you
these
things.
You
know,
sometimes
it
just
it
just
takes
forever
to
get
that
final
v1
shift.
So
to
speak,
that's
like
to
shift
the
code,
but
that's
that's
what
we're
aiming
for.
So
in,
like
three
weeks
end
of
may
early
june.
A
Okay
and
the
reason,
the
reason
why
I'm
asking
this
could
potentially
also
be
a
very,
very
valuable
tool
for
city
council,
as
we
begin
looking
at
how
to
redistribute
the
arp
dollars
that
are
going
to
be
coming
into
the
city.
A
As
you
know,
reverend
burgess
and
I
sponsored
legislation
saying
that
those
dollars
that
get
disbursed
need
to
have
a
racial
equity
lens
to
them,
and
I
think
the
the
equity
indicators
as
you're
describing
it
could
potentially
help
in
shaping
where
those
dollars
should
go.
So
that's
why
it's
really
intriguing.
So
thank
you.
My
second
question
go
ahead.
Go
ahead
majestic.
C
C
You
know
what
schools,
for
what
reasons
are
having
these
challenges
and
then
also,
let's
see
how
that
connects
with
what
people
are
leaving
the
city,
what
people
are
leaving
that
school
or
how
their
population
is
going
down
right.
So
there's
a
lot
of
data
that
we
can
begin
to
comb
through
to
help
us
think
a
little
more
rigorously
about
the
challenges
that
we
see
and
how
we
actually
solve
them.
I
think
everybody
understands
the
challenges
that
we
have
in
in
our
communities,
but
also
the
opportunities.
C
The
difference
is,
we
can't
always
get
to
hey.
It
looks
like
the
biggest
issue
for
this
particular
school
might
be
at
this
age,
and
then
these
populations
of
people
may
be
the
very
very
same
people
who
find
themselves
moving
from
a
city
neighborhood
to
a
suburban
neighborhood.
And
why
right?
And
how
do
we
connect
the
the
educational
outcomes
of
some
of
our
schools
or
some
of
our
challenges
around
public
safety
to
then
movement
patterns
right
and
so
that
we
know
that?
C
There's
a
confluence
of
issues
that
influence
movement
patterns
and
not
just
one.
We
think
that
this
document,
along
with
other
work
that
the
office
is
doing,
will
be
able
to
give
the
best
information,
because
it's
like
you
know
as
a
people,
often
say,
but
you
can't
measure
you
can't
manage
so
we're
trying
to
get
the
measurements
appropriately.
So
we
can
manage
it
and
then
also
look
at
solutions
in
this
equity
project.
We'll
make
sure
we
send
you
to
get
the
demo
and
have
the
folks
from
bloomberg
luke
young.
B
Jessica,
I
you're,
of
course,
one
of
the
most
thoughtful
people
in
city
government,
and
you
know
you
have
a
national
platform
in
terms
of
your
office.
You
have
been
involved
in
these
talks
nationally,
I'm
going
to
tell
you
kind
of
what
I
think
and
I'd
like
you
to
respond
to
it,
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
about
we've
been
able
to
do
as
a
city
with
mayor,
peduto
and
councilman
level,
and
I
you
know
this
whole
block
pittsburgh
matters
issue
is
not
one
thing
right.
B
It's
not
just
focused
on
housing,
although
it
is
focused
on
housing,
is
not
just
focused
on
economic
opportunity,
although
it
is
focused
on
economic
opportunity,
it's
not
just
focused
on
safe
neighborhoods
all
that,
although
it
is
not
just
better
schools,
it
is
it's
focused
on
you
know
all
three
things
that
protecting
the
black
lives
matter,
protecting
the
lives
and
safety
of
black
people.
It's
you
know,
rebuilding
black
communities.
That
means
black
schools,
black
businesses,
black
organizations,
all
that
as
well
as
housing
and
then,
of
course,
creating
business
opportunity.
Entrepreneurship.
B
C
C
What
I
find
is
that
we
don't
suffer
for
people
who
are
trying
to
do
the
work,
but
the
order
of
operations
in
the
scale
of
the
work
and
thinking
specifically
on
how
best
to
impact
different
places
at
different
times
is
the
challenge
right,
and
so
I
think
that
this
black
pittsburgh
matters
work
in
the
the
suite
of
legislations
that
you
have
worked
on
the
suite
of
legislations
and
changes
that
we've
worked
on
together,
really
kind
of
show.
Thinking
about
these
things
in
a
strategic
way
of
how
can
you
use
advocacy?
C
How
can
you
use
community
resources?
How
can
you
use
the
heft
of
a
city
to
begin
to
look
at
it
and
to
connect
that
to
data?
Because
often
you
know,
how
do
you
eyeball
change
right
change
is
not
something
that
you
just
eyeball,
especially
when
you're
dealing
with
issues
from
the
past
60
to
70
years
and
400
years.
C
If
you
want
to
kind
of
use
a
broader
scale
of
white
supremacy
and
racism
in
america
and
but
then
specifically
in
pittsburgh,
some
of
the
bigger
challenges
that
we've
had
from
loss
of
industry-
lack
of
you
know
kind
of
broad-based
political
influence.
So
what
we're
doing
is
really
fighting
that
tide
using
the
data
and
using
all
the
things
at
our
disposal
to
try
to
make
these
changes.
But
these
things
all,
as
you
said,
they're
all
coming
together
and
as
they
come
together.
C
C
So
we
have
to
tie
the
housing
challenge
to
the
wealth
building
challenge,
as
as
we
have
been
working
on
and
getting
into
supporting
incubators
getting
into
doing
grants
and
loans
getting
into
supporting
the
businesses
getting
into
catalytic
projects
like
the
one
that
went
through
planning
commission
yesterday
with
the
lower
hill.
So
we
know
that
all
of
these
things
we
have
to
be
doing
them
all
measuring
them
all
talking
about
them
all,
and
I
think
we
have
began
to
do
something
that
really
is
a
model
and
continuing
to
talk
about.
What
does
this?
C
What
I
into
call
intergenerational
mobility,
look
like
right:
how
are
we
measuring
the
intergenerational
mobility,
which
is
really
that's
really,
the
undercurrent
of
everything
really
the
undercurrent
of
do
our
children
feel
like
they're
going
to
have
the
opportunities?
Do
the
schools
have
the
same
books?
Do
the
playgrounds
have
the
same
nets?
Do
the
playgrounds
have
the
same
sports?
If
you
don't
learn
tech
in
the
home,
can
you
learn
it
at
the?
Can
you
learn
it
with
max
where's?
C
The
programs
around
you
know
helping
the
organizations
that
are
helping
some
of
the
brothers
that
have
been
involved
in
some
street
activities.
Right
like
these
are
all
the
things
that
we
actually
are
doing
to
be
able
to
make
this
impact.
It's
just
you
know
it
takes
it
takes
time
for
them
all
to
make
sense
to
actually
change
the
lives
of
people,
but
I
think
you're,
seeing
a
thrust.
That's
unlike
many
in
the
country
on
really
having
government
be
very
purposeful,
not
just
about
statements
and
platitudes,
but
also
resources,
programs
and
policy.
B
And
I
think
so,
I
think
in
many
ways
you
know,
although
the
city
and
the
mayor
has
been
very
progressive,
I
think
in
some
ways
we're
too
far
ahead
right
that
people
have
to
catch
up
to
where
we're
at
right.
They,
they
don't
quite
see
it.
Yet,
as
you
were
saying,
it's
all
coming
together,
all
these
programs,
but
they
don't
see
it,
it's
all
being
implemented.
It's
impact.
B
As
you
know,
it's
going
to
be
two
three
four
five
ten
years
down
the
line,
and
I
think
we
do
have
to
do
a
better
job
of
explaining
it,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
we
have
this
platform
of
explaining
to
black
people
that
we
actually
are
doing
some
national
progressive
transformational,
things
that
are
being
modeled
across
the
country.
E
And
if
I
can
just
add
a
small
point
to
that,
just
talking
about
inclusion
and
equity,
specifically
when
we
talk
about
inclusion
and
equity,
particularly
in
the
tech
space
right.
So
if
you're,
a
mother,
if
you're
a
single
mother
or
a
single
father
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh-
and
you
want
to
get
your
child
into
a
tech
program,
I
would
challenge
any
parent
to
go.
E
Look
at
some
of
the
prices
for
programs-
I
won't
say
any
names
specifically,
but
you
could
pay
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
a
week
for
a
coding
program,
so
why
what
we
do
is
important
is
because,
if
I'm
a
single
mother,
how
do
I
afford
to
put
three
of
my
children
in
a
program?
That's
a
thousand
dollars
a
week
right.
So
you
know,
I
applaud
what
we're
doing,
because
we're
making
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
work
in
tech
and
learn
tech
at
a
costly
rate
for
free.
E
Essentially,
all
you
have
to
do
is
show
up
to
the
center
in
in
in
a
space
where
a
lot
of
times,
if
the
city
didn't
step
up
to
do
that,
it
just
wouldn't
happen,
because
these
programs
have
been
going
on
for
years,
they're,
just
not
access
and
to
me,
that's
a
part
of
the
inclusion
and
equity
right.
If
my
mother
can't
afford
for
me
to
learn
how
to
code,
how
am
I
going
to
learn
how
to
code?
E
How
am
I
going
to
get
that
expertise,
and
I
think
we
we're
doing
incredible
work
in
that
space
where
we're
making
it
accessible
and
the
areas
where
the
children
that
frequent
the
pittsburgh
public
schools
who
frequent
these
neighborhoods
are
at
and
we're
in
those
spaces
trying
to
make
the
opportunities
real.
A
You
would
think,
unfortunately,
I
do
know,
and
only
because
my
children
are
elementary
school,
so
I
can't
really
speak
towards
middle
and
high
school,
but
I
do
know
a
lot
of
what
you're
providing
at
the
city
level
is
not
necessarily
happening
within
our
schools,
and
so
I
applaud
you,
but
I'm
also
concerned
at
the
same
time
earlier,
rev
also
mentioned
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
our
collective
responsibility
to
bring
our
young
men
and
women
along.
It's
not
singly
up
to
the
school.
A
It's
not
singularly
up
to
the
city,
nor
is
it
singularly
up
to
the
black
church.
You
get
the
idea,
I
guess
my
question
is
this
is
just
open-ended.
C
So
I'll
I'll
start,
I
think
there
have
been
a
number
of
conversations,
a
number
of
engagements
around
some
early
dialogue
around
the
black
men
and
boys
work.
C
That
is
also
being
done
at
the
at
the
you
know,
public
pps
level,
as
well
as
other
schools,
because
it
is
important
to
think
that
many
of
our
children
are
being
educated
across
the
board,
they're
being
educated
in
traditional
public
schools,
public
charter,
schools,
catholic
schools,
private
schools,
right
like
so
black
children
are
being
educated,
largely
in
pps
but
not
exclusively,
and
that
there
are
populations
that
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
about
who
aren't
in
those
in
that
bigger
system
who
are
also
engaging
with
us
via
our
other
programming.
C
So
I
would
say
that
there
has
been
some
early
dialogue
there
and
another
place
that
there
has
been.
I
think
positive
conversation
is
around
cte
korean
technical
education
with
angela
mike
and
some
of
the
leading
work
that
she's
been
doing
and
actually
the
city
looking
at
partnering
with
fuse
corps,
and
I
think
chief
powell
talked
about
it
when
we
were
on
last
time.
That's
a
national
organization
that
sends
kind
of
mid-level
professionals
to
help
people
solve
a
challenging
problem
and
one
of
the
challenging
problems
too.
C
Many
of
the
things
that
both
of
you
have
brought
up
as
well
as
we
see,
is
where's
the
connection
from
where
young
people
are
coming
out
of
a
cte
program
and
being
connected
to,
for
example,
a
partner
for
work
right
and
being
connected
to
a
pre-pre-apprenticeship
program
and
no
matter
where
that
may
be.
And
how
can
we
get
resources
to
do
that
and
they've
been
open
to
that
to
that
dialogue?
C
C
Like
the
mayor
often
says
the
you
know,
superintendent
has
them
from
eight
nine
to
three
or
eight
to
four,
but
any
time
after
that,
they're
being
perceived
as
being
part
of
the
leadership
of
of
the
mayor
and
council
as
far
as
who's
responsible
for
what
happens
in
the
street
who's
responsible
for
what
happens
with
public
safety.
Who's
responsible
are
the
playgrounds
nice
in
the
summertime
outside
of
the
pps
programs,
or
maybe
some
other
programs.
C
So
as
we
continue
to
center
children,
I
think
there'll
be
some
more
opportunities
and-
and
my
hope
is
that,
when
you
think
about
what's
happening
with
with
some
of
my
brother's
keeper
work,
when
you
think
was
when
you
hear
what's
happening
with
our
directed
tech
work,
which
is
also
one
just
one
part
of
a
broader
thrust
of
city
parks-
work
that
is
being
very
progressive,
led
by
director,
chapman
and
director
of
argus,
that
there
will
be
more
opportunities,
because
people
can
see
more
places
to
kind
of
to
link
in
versus
kind
of
being
separate.
C
E
Yeah,
if
I
could
add
anything
to
that,
it
would
just
be
just
in
my
conversations,
even
pr
pre
coming
to
the
city,
just
making
sure
that
the
people
who
are
in
power
and
in
charge
of
the
schools
are
not
having
old
conversations.
E
E
I
just
you,
know
a
lot
of
times
we're
fighting
old
battles
as
far
as
what
curriculum
should
be
and
standardized
testing,
and
these
other
different
ideas
that
won't
necessarily,
I
don't
want
to
say
they
don't
mean
anything,
but
in
10
years
you
know
what
you're
exposed
to
right
now
and
tech
will
be
so
much
more
important
than
whether
you're
you
were
able
to
pass
a
sat
or
some
type
of
a
test
that
you're
taking
the
learning
is
changing
the
way
we're
gonna
learn
and
what
we're
gonna
learn
is
changing
and
what's
important
to
learn
is
changing.
E
So
I'm
just
always
excited
to
be
a
part
of
innovative
progressive
conversations
about
education
itself,
about
what
we
should
be
learning
and
which
we
should
be
teaching
in
these
schools.
B
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
is
part
of
a
national
is
a
national
curriculum.
That
is
not
necessarily
always
emphasized
as
much
is
this
whole
idea
of
citizenship
right
of
civic
engagement
and
citizenship,
and
what
does
it
mean
to
be
a
citizen?
You
know
what
what
is
it?
What
does
that
really
mean
in
terms
of
which
your
responsibility
to
vote?
What's
your
responsibility
for
engagement
and
that's
a
rule,
I
think
the
city
can
naturally
play
right.
B
That's
what
we
do
and
I
think
that
at
that
very
minimum,
that
should
be
a
place
that
all
of
us
could
agree
that
we
wanted
to
not
just
raise.
We
don't.
We
want
to
raise
kids,
who
not
only
make
good
money
and
not
only
have,
hopefully,
you
know,
raise
good
families,
but
also
are
good
citizens
right.
They
are,
they
are
they
they
take
our
democracy
seriously.
They
participate
in
the
government
process
and
that
may
be
an
early
place
that
we
can
partner
and
and
share
some
resources.
B
I
I
I
I
think
that
that's
right.
C
D
Absolutely
so
completely
agree
with
you,
reverend
and
anecdotally.
You
know
any
conversation
with
pps
that
I've
been
involved
with
or
heard
of
as
it
relates
to
mbk
and
civic
engagement
has
always
been
a
thumbs
up.
D
You
know
and
a
yes
in
fact,
there
are
a
number
of
student
leadership
groups
at
pps
that
are
interesting
for
folks
to
to
take
a
look
at,
especially
if
they
have
young
people
that
might
be
interested
in
there's
a
participatory
budgeting
council
that
was
put
together
in
partnership
with
councilman
o'connor's
office
that
I
haven't
heard
of
the
update
since
covid,
but
was
still
an
active
initiative
where
young
people
could
weigh
in
on
budgetary
items
in
a
facilitated.
You
know
structured
way
and
then
a
leadership
council
that
works
directly
with
the
superintendent.
D
D
Council
has
been
something
that
we've
been
trying
to
do
in
the
office
of
equity
in
the
mayor's
office
for
a
couple
years
now,
something
that
is
an
objective
of
mbk
also
is
one
of
the
objectives
of
the
welcoming
pittsburgh
initiative,
and
you
know,
council
people,
you
know
how
important
it
is
to
be
to
be
a
citizen
and
to
understand
that
about
yourself
and,
what's
you
know,
what's
possible
so
any
way
that
we
can
work
together.
D
On
that
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
groundwork
laid
and
we
have,
I
think,
a
pretty
compelling
opportunity
to
to
call
a
table
to
to
work
with
young
people
in
a
structured
way
to
co-design
what
it
can
look
like
and
really
set
up
something.
That's
that's
best
in
class.
You
know
there
are
a
number
of
cities
around
the
world
that
have
an
interesting
take
on
this
helsinki
and
domestically.
The
city
of
boston
has
a
really
good
youth,
council
and
mbk
youth
council
as
well
participatory
budgeting
youth
council
as
well.
D
I
think
these
are
all
things
that
we
can
look
at
and
we
have
you
know
language
and
one
pagers
and
and
research
that
we've
been
putting
together,
that
that
looks
at
that.
But
I
think
it's
it's
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
and
if
you
think
about
the
last
the
last
year,
george
floyd
taylor,
you
know
so
much
of
the
civic
engagement,
and
you
know
this
reverend
was
youth
involved
and
in
many
cases,
youth
led.
So
we
really
feel
like
there's
an
opportunity.
You
know
to
lean
in
there.
D
Young
people
are
valuable
and
their
opinion
should
should
should
matter.
You
know,
especially
as
we're
talking
about
the
future.
You
know
of
this
place,
and
hopefully
we
can.
We
can
provide
more
structured
ways
to
do
that.
Maybe
we
can
create
a
youth
council
ourselves
within
city
government,
you
know,
etc.
Then
also
can
we
create
experiences
where
these
youth
leadership
groups,
of
which
there
are
many
not
just
in
pps,
you
think
about
eight
plus
schools
and
team
block.
You
think
about
gwen's
girls,
you
think
about
bmldi
through
the
urban
league.
D
You
know.
Are
there
ways
we
can
create
experiences
where
you
know
I
did
one
with
dmldi
when
I
first
joined
the
mayor's
office,
where
those
young
men
came
down
and
spent
a
day
meeting
with
council
people
just
getting
to
know
them
in
the
city
council
chambers,
hearing
from
officials
in
the
mayor's
office,
and
that's
all
really
great.
I
think
people
like
that
idea
too,
no
matter
who
you
ask
so
we're.
We
stand
at
the
ready
to
to
bring
that
especially
post
covet.
D
A
So
speaking
of
post
covet,
I
have
a
potentially
a
simple
question
because
I
was
asked
yesterday
I
didn't
have
the
answer
at
the
city
level:
have
we
all
have
we
begun
the
conversation
of
opening
our
rec
centers
back
up
as
we
move
towards
the
summer?
And
it's
yes,
any
insight.
C
C
Rexella,
yes,
our
rec
centers
our
fields,
our
pools
right
now,
obviously,
as
both
of
you
know-
and
the
people
watching
may
not
know,
getting
pools
up
and
running,
can
be
some
of
the
most
difficult
work
in
the
world,
even
though
it
does
not
appear
to
seem
that
difficult
inexpensive
to
to
do.
I
think
many
people
just
take.
C
Oh
there's
a
pool,
I
can
go
swimming
and
not
know
how
much
work
somebody
had
to
do
to
figure
out
who
was
going
to
be
there
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
how
how
many
hours
and
such
so
the-
and
this
is
also
a
conversation
that
I've
been
having
with
cornell
jones.
You
know
around
kind
of
the
and
you
know
working
with
anti-violence
work,
because
our
public,
our
assets,
can
help
us
keep
young
people
safe.
C
So
as
we're
working
on
the
pools,
that's
kind
of
like
the
primary
thing
to
kind
of
untie
that
knot,
but
second,
which
will
be
coming
out
very
soon
after
that
from
you
know,
our
chief
operating
officer,
kenzie
casey,
will
be
information
around
fields
and
our
rec
centers
trying
to
also
make
sure-
and
this
is
the
other
challenge-
make
sure
we
have
the
best
of
information
from
the
county
in
the
state
around.
C
You
know
once
the
things
are
lifted,
but
you
still
have
masks
in
place
and
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
that
means
for
health
regulations
once
you
still
have
to
have
the
mass,
I
think,
until
we're
at
70
percent
herd
immunity
or
70
immunized,
the
governor
just
recently
stated
so
how
to
how
to
make
that
happen,
and
then
how
to
scale
up
now
that
post
memorial
day,
you
can
theoretically
have
anyone
as
many
people
as
you
want
in
the
room
as
long
as
they
have
mass
on.
C
Well,
then,
how
do
you
have
staff
enough
to
really
deal
with
that
ramping
up
really
fast?
So
that's
really
the
the
process,
but
folks
should
expect
to
hear
something
in
the
next
couple
weeks
to
be
able
to
say
that
this
is
how
the
summer
will
look.
Given
the
change
in
rules
this
week
from
the
governor.
D
Yeah
and
I
believe
we're
recruiting
right
now
for
lifeguards
speaking
to
to
chief
lane's
point.
So
if
you
know
folks
that
are
interested,
you
know,
you
know,
get
them.
B
I
do
want
to
involved
something
that
customer
level
and
I
announced
earlier
this
week
that
now
you
can
go
right
to
the
pittsburgh
pa.gov
website
and
right
on
the
website.
There
is
a
link
we
have
a
new
web
page
called
black
pittsburgh
matters
and
then
that
web
page
there
is
policies.
B
There
are
instructional
little
brief
videos
to
explain
when
people
say
that
we
have
not
done
things
for
african
americans
in
that
city.
There
are
now
you
know:
18
20
of
the
initiatives,
whether
it
was
reimagining
police,
the
summer
youth
employment
program,
rebuilding
low-income
housing,
housing
opportunity
fund.
B
All
of
those
things
are
on
that
black
pittsburgh
matters,
page
that
you
can
access
now
access
directly
from
the
city's
home
page
and
we're
going
to
link
some
summer
youth
employment
into
it,
and
some
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
today,
we're
going
to
make
sure
we
link
it
to
our
web
page
for
all
those
who
are
listening.
So
it
becomes
a
one-stop
sort
of
place,
or
at
least
a
one-stop
initial
place
for
those
who
are
interested
in
black
communities,
black
families,
black
youth.
A
Thank
you
rev,
and
we
will
certainly
be
sure
to
link
all
their
all
the
phenomenal
work
that
these
young
men
are
doing
to
that,
so
that
people
can
be
fully
aware
with.
That
being
said,
we
have
come
upon
our
hour,
and
so
we
have
run
them
all
the
time
we
have
for
today's
show.
I
want
to
thank
our
guests,
starting
with
chief
equity
officer
and
deputy
chief
of
staff,
majestic
lane
max
dennison,
digital
equity
and
inclusion
manager
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
josiah
gilliam,
my
brother
keeper
coordinator.
A
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
partners
with
us
in
order
to
have
significant
investment
in
the
black
community.
It's
imperative
that
we
keep
our
communities
safe
and
peaceful
and
engaging
our
youth
is
certainly
one
way
to
do
that
and
that
that
also
helps
us
demonstrate
that
we
are
committed
to
rebuilding
black
communities
in
pittsburgh.
For
black
people,
blind
black
people
with
our
partners
in
our
eyelash.
D
D
So
he
mentioned
some
of
the
anti-violence
work
and
to
stop
the
violence
work
and-
and
we
all
know
on
this
call
unfortunately,
there's
been
a
surge
of
violence
in
many
of
our
communities
recently
and
something
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
on
you
know
for
years
and
years
and
then
certainly
covert
has
exacerbated
factors
in
a
lot
of
ways
and
in
the
past,
like
several
months,
it's
been,
you
know
a
real
concern
and
we
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
happening
with
group,
violence,
intervention,
folks,
street
outreach,
etc.
D
You
know
part
of
my
brother's
keeper
I
didn't
mention
before
is
that
we
have
an
action
plan.
We
have
these
six
goal
areas.
We
also
have
an
action
plan,
that's
all
locally
focused
and
we
raised
funds
in
local
philanthropy
to
support
that
action
plan
and
that's
at
the
poise
foundation,
black
community
foundation,
the
oldest
black
community
foundation,
the
entire
nation
here
in
pittsburgh.
That's
where
the
mbk
funds
are,
and
we
want
to
leverage
those
funds
not
just
to
do
ongoing
fundraising
but
to
support
activity
happening
in
the
community
goal.
D
Six
and
my
brother's
keeper
is
about
all
of
our
young
people
being
safe
from
violent
crime
and
those
that
need
it
getting
the
second
chance
that
they
deserve.
Why?
Because
we
can
look
at
all
these
metrics
and
all
these
indicators,
we
want
the
environments
to
be
conducive
to
allowing
those
lives
to
thrive,
so
that
young
people
and
families
can
make
choices
for
themselves
and
can
thrive
as
they
as
they
so
choose.
And
so
we
want
to
not
just
reduce
violence.
D
We
want
to
build
peace,
so
I've
been
working
with
chief
lane
and
then
folks
on
the
stop
the
violence
committee
that
you
all
have
put
together.
I
met
with
the
homicide
review
folks,
richard
garland
and
that
team.
Yesterday,
the
mbk
committee,
which
reverend
cornell
jones
and
tyler
thompson
a
lot
of
these
champions,
are
on
that
committee
on
a
micro
grants
process
through
mbk
to
support
some
of
the
street
outreach
and
the
violence
prevention.
D
Intervention
work
that
we
know
makes
a
difference
in
in
this
in
this
round
and
we're
aiming
for
a
simple
and
easy
process,
because
we
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
ongoing
activity.
You
know
for
folks
that
don't
know.
There's
a
public
health
approach
to
violence
that
the
city
and
the
county
and
the
state
quite
frankly,
has
adopted
in
a
lot
of
ways.
You
can
you
can
google
the
council
people
on
this
call
and
hear
them
talking
about
violence
as
a
public
health
crisis?
D
What
that
means
is
that
there
are
a
number
of
entities
at
different
levels
that
have
been
active
in
this
space
and
we
have
ever
there's
more
coordination
in
this
space
than
ever.
There's
also
more
paid
work
and
trained
and
equipped
work
in
this
space
than
ever,
including
trainings
for
volunteers
that
want
to
get
involved,
faith
leaders,
people
that
respond
to
traumatic
incidences
and
people
that
put
their
lives
on
the
line.
In
partnership
with
public
safety
to
intervene
to
prevent
violence,
you
know
from
happening
in
meeting
with
these
folks.
D
We
know
that
a
lot
of
them
they
just
have
simple
asks
forever
and
council
person.
You
know
this,
you
talk
to
ask
them
what
they
need.
You
know
it's
it's
it's
richard
garland
said
a
basketball
tournament.
Yesterday
you
know
events
or
activities
in
a
rec
center
or
or
in
a
park.
So
we
just
want
to
move
resources.
You
know
into
that
space.
We
know
that
there's
other
things
coming,
even
from
the
federal
administration,
the
biden
administration,
you
know,
focus
on
gun,
violence
and
other
resources.
D
But
you
know
reverend.
It
said
blessed
are
the
peacemakers?
Well,
let's
bless
the
peacemakers
and
let's
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
highlight
work.
That's
happening
to
to
get
resources
there,
but
then
also
to
try
to
see
the
numbers
go
in
a
different
direction.
You
know
before
kovitt,
for
a
couple
of
years,
we
were
headed
in
in
a
better
direction
on
the
call.
Yesterday
they
said
one
homicide
is
too
many,
and
I
believe
that
so
we
want
to.
D
We
want
those
numbers
to
go
down,
so
we
want
to
build
peace
so
folks
to
reach
out
to
us
we're
going
to
be
working
with
community
organizations
to
get
applications
in
there'll,
be
more
announcements
coming
out
for
folks
to
learn
more
information
and
accounts
of
people.
I'd
welcome.
You
know
your
partnership
on
this.
You
know,
so
many
of
the
people
active
in
this
space
does
not
need
to
be
a
one-off.
You
know.
D
Ideally,
this
is
just
you
know
a
first,
it's
not
even
the
first
attempt
because
work
on
going
and
office,
community
health
and
safety
through
the
mayor's
office-
a
lot
of
folks
active
here,
but
we
want
to
get
some
nbk
funds.
You
know
moving
there
and
then
we
could
talk
about.
You
know
this
later
this
spring
and
in
the
summer
and
the
fall
other
ways
like
learning
that
we
can
focus
on.
You
know,
activities
that
that
can
engage
folks
and
get
money
in
their
pockets
and
stuff
like
that
too.
B
Of
course,
we're
all
willing
to
work
together.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
watching
and
participating
in
this
town
hall
meeting.
Remember
you
can
watch
this
show
on
facebook,
the
city's
youtube
channel
or
the
city's
cable
channel
by
working
together
uniting
purpose.
We
can
transform
our
city
strengthen
it
for
all
of
its
residents.
