From YouTube: Equity Series: Equity in Action
Description
Mayor William Peduto and Chief Equity Officer Majestic Lane discussed the City of Pittsburgh's equity agenda and provided updates on equity in action.
A
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
today's
edition
of
our
equity
series,
my
name
is
majestic
lane,
deputy
chief
of
staff
and
chief
equity
officer
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
it's
an
honor
to
have
with
us
today
the
mayor
of
city
of
pittsburgh,
mayor
peduto,
for
a
conversation
around
equity
in
action.
We
know
we've
had
a
really
a
summer
like
on
any
other
that
we've
seen
in
a
long
time,
and
we
just
kind
of
want
to
talk
about
those
things
what
they
mean
and
then
also
what
happens
going
forward.
A
What
what
are
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
to
deal
with?
What
is
a
local
regional,
national
challenge
on
a
variety
of
different
fronts?
And
how
do
we
work
together
and
project
a
city
and
you
know
kind
of
see
the
vision
for
a
city
that
is
most
livable
for
every
individual?
So
thank
you
mayor
for
being
willing
to
do
this
and
being
willing
to
have
this
conversation
today.
B
You
get
to
realize
how
many
really
amazing
people
there
are
on
the
ground
not
only
working
in
city
government
but
non-profits,
all
over
the
city
that
are
actually
getting
the
work
done
and
the
work
that
they
do
is
appreciated
not
only
by
those
that
they
serve,
but
by
people
who
they
may
never
meet.
And
there's
a
lot
of
good
in
this
town
and
thank
you
for
highlighting
that.
A
Thank
you,
so
I
guess
we
want
to
start
with
just
generally,
as
we
start
these
all
with
how
are
you
doing
again
given
a
year
but
a
summer,
particularly
that
I've
heard
described
as
1918
1929
in
1968
all
in
the
same
year
and
specifically
the
same
summer,
you
know
just
a
year.
Momentous
change
going
on
around
the
cenar
city
is
obviously
included
in
that.
Just
how
are
you
and
and
what
are
the
kind
of
things
you're
thinking
around
what's
happening,
and
and
what's
the
way
forward.
B
I
had
this
conversation
two
weeks
ago
with
mayor
fisher
from
louisville,
and
he
said
to
me
that
you
know
if
he
had
another
term.
He
wouldn't
run
he's
in
his
third
term.
Right
now
and
I
I
was
saying
to
him,
you
know
we
have
far
too
much
work
still
to
do
to
even
have
that
consideration,
but
it
one
side
of
it.
It's
it's
a
very
difficult
time
to
be
a
mayor
and
no
matter
what
you
do,
you're
going
to
be
criticized
and
you're
going
to
be
criticized
by
both
sides.
People
are
angry.
B
There's
opportunities
now
to
do
things
that
simply
weren't
there
before
there
are
people
in
organizations
that
have
not
gotten
involved
in
politics
before
or
have
sat
on
the
sidelines
that
are
become
active
and
where
that
energy
can
be
placed
around
in
order
to
create
partnerships
in
order
to
see
change
occur.
So
where
I
am
personally
sometimes
feel
like
been
underwater
for
a
long
time
without
the
opportunity
of
getting
up
but
every
day
I
I
feel
fortunate
to
be
able
to
have
this
job
in
the
team
around
me.
A
Now,
due
to
what
you
know,
I
think
is
a
common
understanding
of
the
challenge
of
racial,
gender
and
other
forms
of
equity
in
our
country
and
the
impact
that
it's
have
it's
been
having.
But
what
was
your?
What
was
your
perspective
of
vision
behind
making
that
shift
from
working
in
the
neighborhood
empowerment
side
to
shift
into
a
broader
equity
agenda?.
B
We
looked
at
areas
where
the
city
historically
had
disparity
between
low-income
neighborhoods
in
affluent
neighborhoods,
and
we
worked
to
create
either
policies
or
programs
in
order
to
lessen
that
disparity.
Equity
really
came
about
in
that
work.
In
understanding
that
disparity
doesn't
just
exist
in
large
programs,
disparity
exists
in
how
we
light
our
streets.
B
There
are
neighborhoods
that
have
a
street
light
at
every
intersection
in
other
neighborhoods
that
have
street
lights
on
every
single
telephone
pole,
and
we
sometimes
don't
think
of
it.
But
that
is
a
public
service
which
is
supposed
to
be
given
on
an
equal
basis,
and
if
we
start
to
look
through
the
lens
of
equity
within
public
works
within
the
finance
department
within
parks
within
paving
within
all
the
services
that
we
provide,
then
we
will
have
a
better
chance
of
reaching
that
neighborhood
empowerment
that
we
wanted
to
create.
A
Yeah,
I
mean
I
think
for
me
in
in
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
at
the
city
I
think
was
important
because
again,
pittsburgh
is
a
neighborhood
town
and
a
lot
of
things
are
discussed
and
engaged
in
a
neighborhood
way.
But,
like
I've
always
said,
you
started
to
see
that
we
just
didn't
have
a
place
problem
that
we
had
a
race
problem
or
we
just
didn't,
have
a
place
problem.
We
had
a
gender
problem
or
we
just
didn't,
have
a
place
problem.
We
had
a
challenge
around
folks
of
different
abilities
or
our
newcomer
communities.
A
So
while
these
things
are
happening
in
neighborhoods,
we
also-
and
you
know,
start
to
understand
that
there
was
a
broader
vantage
point
of
how
these
things
were
happening
again,
mayor
to
your
point
around
street
lights
or
stop
signs
or
bus.
You
know
bus
dolls,
like
these
kind
of
things
that
we
take
for
granted,
but
are
just
really
part
of
the
public
sphere
to
say
nothing
of
obviously,
generations
of
disinvestment
or
generations
of
marginalized
places
and
and
by
extension,
people
that
were
happening
that
you
have
to
work
on.
A
So
it's
been
unique
in
the
sense
of
trying
to
think
and
look
at
the
system
that
it
exists
now,
but
also
trying
to
then
think
about
the
traditional
things
that
have
held
people
back
in
making
the
city
the
best
one
for
everybody.
So
I
think
that's
a
unique
challenge
within
all
the
cities
that
have
an
office
for
equity.
A
As
far
as
the
outcomes
for
people
and
you're
trying
to
like
essentially
fly
a
plane
while
building
the
plane
at
the
exact
same
time
while
trying
to
hold
on
to
stuff
that
is
falling
off
right.
That
is
often
kind
of
what
the
practical
form
of
engaging
with
equity
in
the
governmental
context
looks
like.
So.
B
A
Yeah
so
gare
for
folks
is
the
government
alliance
for
racial
equity
and
again
you
know
they
have
started
relatively.
They
started
relatively
small
a
number
of
years
ago,
as
you
can
imagine
due
to
the
nature
of
conditions
in
america.
They
are
exploding
they're
in
there
in
cities
all
across
the
country,
but
what
they
do
is
actually
acknowledge
that
equity,
while
having
a
broader
definition
and
we
use
the
broader
definition
of
equity.
That
gare
does
is
that
race,
gender
ability,
country
of
origin,
language
of
origin,
etc.
A
Sexual
orientation
should
not
be
a
stand-in
for
quality
of
life,
so,
for
example,
if
I
was
to
look
at
someone
and
say
okay,
if
someone
look
at
me
and
say
you're
an
african-american
male
right
now
in
pittsburgh,
the
idea
is
that
I
will
die.
However,
many
years
before
a
white
male
of
my
same
age
right,
so
the
actual
my
race
is
actually
a
stand-in
for
quality
of
life
or
extent
of
life
in
that
sense,
and
so
that
that
definition
has
been
really
important
because
it
makes
you
measure
what
is
occurring
right.
A
So
we
started
to
partner
with
gare
last
year
and
actually
gare
came
in
and
started
the
process,
it's
the
multi-year
process
and
they
will
continue
to
work
with
us
and
continue
to
expand
the
services
of
really
talking
to
our
staff
members,
because
you
know
you're
dedicated
to
the
equity
of
everyone
being
here.
You've
identified
numerous
people
within
our
administration
do
that
including
myself
and
our
team
and
others
and
other
leaders
in
our
administration,
but
often
you
figure
where
equity
happens,
is
often
in
many
of
the
departments.
A
A
It's
our
equity
agenda,
so
what
gear
doesn't
comes
in
one
is:
does
a
basic
101,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
who
work
in
government
who
think
they
are
they
are,
are
serving
the
public
good
and
thinking
about
the
challenges
and
trying
to
do
what's
right
for
the
public
may
not
be
as
aware
of
some
of
the
structural
and
institutional
vestiges
of
race
and
class
and
gender
and
orientation.
So
one
thing
is
to
say:
hey:
here's
the
you
know,
kind
of
context
for
where
you
exist.
A
If
you
will
now,
the
next
conversation
is
what
does
it
look
like
for
your
budget,
your
operating
budget,
your
capital
budget
or
your
programming
structure
to
actually
reflect
of
who's,
winning
and
who's
losing
right?
You
often
hear
everyone,
you
know
talk
about
budgets
or
a
moral
document,
but
also
kind
of
implicit
in
budgets
are
some
people
are
getting
something
some
people
aren't
and
we've
never
called
that
out
before
so
with
the
racial
equity
toolkit
that
they're
working
with
us
on
has
been.
A
How
do
you
really
call
out
who's
improving
and
what
is
the
expected
improvement
of
a
particular
group
of
people?
We
know
that
there's
some
neighborhoods
that
have
not
been
invested
in
for
some
time
in
our
in
our
city.
Before,
frankly,
this
administration
began
to
really
look
at
doing
deeper
investments
in
parks,
doing
deeper
investments
in
in
in
the
public
space
of
many
of
our
neighbors,
but
it
asks
who
benefits
and
who
loses,
and
it's
really
been
a
good
guide.
A
So
coming
out
of
last
year,
we
started
the
process
of
working
with
six
of
our
departments
or
really
getting
up
to
speed
to
know
how
to
use
this
kind
of
process,
because
it
is
a
unique
process
and
our
departments
have
been
really
open
about
doing
it
and
then
obviously
covet
hits
and
a
whole
host
of
other
things,
so
we're
having
to
ramp
up
faster,
really
look
at
how
all
of
our
departments
looking
at
this,
because
also
our
council
people
and
we've
been
in
partnership
with
them.
Talking
they're
looking
at.
A
How
do
you
use
these
things
to
actually
identify
if
a
budget
is
being
equitable
and
who's
being
helped?
So
that's
really
where
gary's
been
helpful
for
us
and
again
me
also
being
part
of
the
cohort
with
them
with
policy
link.
It's
really
to
always
do
this
deeper
conversation
to
think
about
the
kind
of
systems
right
and
to
evaluate
our
systems
and
then
to
get
that
level
of
knowledge
within
the
departments
to
understand
how
we
can
do
better
and
think
better
and
be
more
equitable
and
pursue
the
agenda
of
livability
for
everyone.
A
The
biggest
disparities,
two
of
the
biggest
disparities
that
we
saw
were
were
ones
that
we
didn't
expect
and
one
of
the
ones
that
we
saw.
That
we
didn't
expect
was
the
popul,
the
the
percentage
of
unbanked
folks.
And
so
you
know
we
became.
We
then
knew
that
there
was
a
huge
amount
of
money
that
was
being
lost
by
folks
because
they
were
unbanked
and
going
to
check
cash
in
places
and
not
being
able
to
get
the
financial
services
they
that
they
needed.
Another.
A
One
that
you
could
understand-
but
we
didn't
know,
was
actually
home
ownership
and
the
percentage
of
black
versus
writing
home
ownership,
so
that
first
year
we
were
able
to
work
with
cities
for
financial
empowerment
and
bloomberg
to
actually
work
on
getting
us
financial,
empowerment
centers.
As
that
partnership
with
neighborhood
allies,
our
nonprofit
partner
on
that
and
also
you
know,
other
partners
really
say.
Okay,
we
acknowledge
that
financial
information
is
a
huge
part
of
what
folks
need,
so
we
could
respond
to
it.
A
A
We
know
that
home
ownership
is
not
just
for
folks
who
make
a
lot
of
money
and
that
also
that
homeownership
and
the
percentages
of
homeownership
really
become
an
equity
challenge
in
neighborhoods
about
giving
folks
access
to
equity
as
cities
invest
in
places
and
the
equity
grows
in
people's
homes.
Folks,
getting
access
to
home
ownership
becomes
extremely
important,
so
that's
just
an
example
of
how
being
able
to
measure
things
and
then
being
able
to
try
to
manage
them
going
forward
becomes
so
very
important
in
the
in
the
equity
work.
B
B
When
you
get
that,
then
you
have
an
opportunity
to
create
a
program
in
order
to
be
able
to
actually
do
something,
and
then
you
try
to
find
a
way
to
spin
it
off.
You
don't
want
it
just
to
just
to
be
a
one-and-done
so
like
with
financial
literacy
within
the
next
year
after
creating
the
empowerment
centers,
which
have
helped
hundreds
of
families
throughout
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
manage
their
debt,
be
able
to
save
money,
be
able
to
buy
and
establish
credit,
be
able
to
buy
a
home.
B
We
want
to
be
able
to
take
blight
and
make
it
an
opportunity
for
moderate
income
individuals
to
own
their
own
home.
A
lot
of
people
get
caught
up
because
they're
not
in
poverty,
but
they're,
not
wealthy
enough
to
be
able
to
purchase
a
home,
they're
sort
of
caught
in
the
middle
and
with
a
lot
of
these
families.
What
we
can
do
is
have
a
home
ownership
opportunity
that
can
cost
less
than
rent
and
establishing
that
was
absolutely
critical.
B
In
building
equity
in
building
wealth
50
years
ago,
discriminatory
practices
left
hundreds
of
thousands
of
pittsburghers
without
an
opportunity
to
buy
their
own
home.
Today,
we
can
utilize
the
access
to
the
properties
that
we
own
as
a
city
government,
to
give
families
that
opportunity.
So
it's!
How
do
you
build
off
of
these
programs
and
how
you
find
those
critical
partners,
whether
it's
bloomberg
city
university
of
new
york,
pines,
endowments
pnc
bank
brookings?
A
It's
that's
also
an
equity
challenge,
because
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
folks,
especially
now
that
they're
they're
resources
that
are
not
in
people's
homes.
There
are
some
folks
who
didn't
qualify
for
some
of
the
unemployment
insurance
and
some
of
the
pua
money.
So
some
of
the
young
people
now
having
access
to
get
their
first
job
and
opportunity
to
be
able
to
have
money
is
a
really
important
issue
in
many
of
our
families
and
communities.
A
So
it's
really
trying
to
create
these
pathways
and
that's
a
a
huge
part
of
the
equity
agenda
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
be
working
on
is
how
do
we
create
pathways
for
folks
and
use
the
the
muscle,
if
you
will,
of
the
city,
to
be
able
to
create
pathways?
Where,
for
so
many
people,
don't
think
that
there
are
any
yeah.
B
It
was
not
really
an
internship
program
as
much
as
it
was
a
employment
program,
cutting
grass
painting,
fences
and
the
like.
So
we
thought
what
if
we
were
to
partner
with
non-profits
and
corporations,
what
if
we
were
to
reach
out
to
the
philanthropic
and
the
corporate
community
for
funding,
and
instead
of
employing
80
to
90
kids
in
public
works?
What
if
we
could
employ
600
throughout
this
city
and
actually
work
in
banks?
B
Development
block
grants,
money
that
used
to
go
to
paving
streets
was
now
going
directly
in
the
kids
pockets
and
not
only
that,
but
we
also
paid
the
nonprofits
and
the
groups
and
the
organizations
that
mentored
the
children.
So
then
we
decided
what
if
we
took
it
to
a
bigger
level
and
we
partnered
with
the
county
and
started
employing
2
000
kids.
B
It's
now
become
a
model
for
summer
youth
programming
in
cities
around
the
country,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
expand
it
until
every
single
kid
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
who
wants
a
summer
job
that
can
help
to
lead
to
a
career.
Has
one
and
again
it's
not
a
one
and
done,
and
it's
not
a
one-off.
It's
a
continuation
and
a
building
from
a
foundation
that
we
created
back
in
2014.
A
A
You
know
based
on
the
cedaw
work
at
the
united
nations
and
last
year
in
order
to
figure
out
where
we
were
and
what
the
the
gender
equity
commission
would
be
working
on
in
their
five-year
plan.
We
worked
with
pitt
to
come
out
with
some
data
to
kind
of
tell
us
where
the
city
was,
and
you
know
that
data
was
extremely
unflattering
for
for
the
city
and
region
as
a
whole,
on
the
quality
of
life
for
for
black
people
across
the
board.
B
Mayor's
job
is
to
bring
people
together
and
to
work
in
order
to
have
a
civic
pride,
but
as
this
report
was
being
written
and
when
it
was
finally
completed,
we
realized
that
we
needed
to
make
it
not
only
public,
but
we
held
a
press
conference
in
order
to
get
that
information
out
to
everybody,
everybody
why'd.
We
do
that
because
again
we
wanted
to
create
a
baseline
of
where
we
are
in
the
city.
B
We
wanted
to
rip
that
band-aid
off
and
to
show
people
where
the
real
inequities
exist,
and
we
wanted
to
say
that
it's
systemic
and
that
there
is
a
need
for
direct
action.
We
since
publishing
that
report,
have
been
working
with
different
organizations
in
order
to
be
able
to
address
critical
issues
within
the
report.
B
Is
we
look
at
creating
a
one
pgh
plan
and
looking
at
different
programs
or
different
policies
that
we
can
enact?
We
compare
it
to
that
gender
equity
report
and
look
to
find
exactly
what
issues
were
addressing
in
lessening
disparity
and
not
only
that,
but
the
the
report
itself
has
had
spin-off
accomplishments.
B
City
government
can't
solve
the
problems
of
what
we
face
as
a
city,
but
we
can
convene
others
together
who
have
the
resources
to
do
so
and
we
can
bring
together
the
community
in
a
way
that
is
for
the
betterment
of
all,
and
what
that
report
basically
did
was
took
away
the
argument
that
it
doesn't
really
exist
or
it's
not
as
bad
as
you
think.
We
wanted
to
make
it
crystal
clear
where
we
are
and
then
holding
everyone
accountable,
including
ourselves,
to
make
it
better
year
by
year.
A
Thank
you
for
that,
and
I
I
want
to
take
this
time
to
also
within
that
really
uplift,
the
voices
and
and
say
thank
you
to
all
of
the
folks
who
have
continued
to
make
it
a
really
continue
to
keep
it
in
our
conversation,
because
often
folks
can
go
on
to
another
thing.
Right.
They're,
like
you
know,
people
like
okay,
we're
going
on
the
kobe
that
we're
going
on
the
police
reform,
but
all
these
things
can
happen
at
the
same
time
and
and
to
your
point
mayor.
A
So
in
that
same
way,
just
for
everyone
has
kept
up
what
it
means
to
think
about
improving
the
quality
of
life
specifically
for
black
women
in
this
region,
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
all
to
acknowledge
that
as
those
of
us
who
are
the
least
engaged
and
the
most
marginalized
or
the
most
impacted
by
systemic
and
structural
racism
as
their
quality
life
improves.
Everyone
improves
that
this
is
not.
A
The
equity
is
not
a
zero-sum
game
that
this
is
about
making
a
city
that
truly
everyone
feels
like
they're,
they're,
comfortable,
they're,
happy
and
they're
being
able
to
live
and
be
the
way
that
they
want
to
be.
So.
I
wanted
to
just
say
thank
you
and
also
to
the
gender
equity
commission
for
their
work
at
taking
the
you
know,
the
elements
of
the
report
and
then
kind
of
working
that
into
some
policy
recommendations
which
again
have
been
really
unique
and
really
partnering
with
them
and
then
partnering
with
with
the
administration
to
say.
A
So
maybe
if
you
would
just
mind
talking
a
little
bit
about
that
and
why
you
thought
it
was
important
to
participate
and
how
you
see
that
connecting
actually
to
the
one
pgh
report
and
actually
to
the
work
of
the
gender
equity
commission
around
improving
the
quality
of
life
for
all
women
and
girls.
But
specifically
in
this
context
for
for
black
women.
B
It
was
dr
king's
realization
that
poverty
is
the
main
reason
for
a
lot
of
the
symptoms
that
we
see
and
if
you
address
poverty
directly
by
providing
a
guaranteed
income,
you'll
see
less
of
the
other
problems
that
we're
addressing
right
now
through
just
that
we're
calling
out
as
disparity
and
systemic
racism.
So
how
do
you
address
that?
B
What
that
pilot
program
will
do
is
give
a
number
of
families
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
500
a
month
on
a
debit
card
for
two
years
and
during
that
two-year
time
period,
a
combination
of
the
university
of
tennessee
and
the
university
of
pennsylvania
will
be
doing
research
in
order
to
find
what
the
effects
have
been
of
that
additional
funding.
They've
been
doing
this
for
18
months
in
stockton,
california,
and
it
has
transformed
lives.
B
If
we
can
start
to
show
that
this
works
in
cities
like
pittsburgh,
then
we
have
a
much
better
chance
of
starting
to
create
a
national
model
that
could
be
done
all
over
this
country
and
as
we
look
at
these
cities
that
are
participating,
we're
looking
at
being
able
to
provide
that
critical
data.
Just
like
we
did
with
the
gender
equity
report
to
show
that
we
can
change
people's
lives.
We're
convinced
that
it's
it
will
work.
A
People
are
making
decisions
and
and
they're
having
to
make
all
kind
of
what
becomes
trauma-informed
decisions
because
of
the
lack
of
access
to
resources,
and
these
aren't
folks
who
aren't
working
and
not
that
that
would
mean
they
didn't
deserve
anything.
But
these
are
folks
who
are
working
one
and
sometimes
two
jobs
in
order
to
keep
themselves
and
their
families
afloat,
and
the
time
of
covet,
I
think,
has
exposed
the
need
for
a
base
for
not
just
people's
survival,
although
that
is
primary.
A
And
I
think
that's
another
example
of
working
with
our
newcomer
community
and
folks
who
were
impacted
and
for
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
weren't
able
to
receive
some
of
the
re
resources
from
cares
and
we
were
able
to
be
helpful
on
other
sides,
but
also
that
that
money
that
was
there
to
really
stabilize
again
communities,
and
especially
in
times
like
this,
the
the
reality
of
stabilizing
communities
and
then
providing
pathways
for
growth,
become
very
important.
We're
getting
a
couple
more
minutes
up.
So
I
want
to
just
touch
on
two
things
quickly.
A
One
is
the
conversation
around
police
reform,
you
and
I
we're
talking
about
an
article
this
morning
that
came
out
in
the
times,
and
I
think
it's
just.
It
is
the
conversation
of
the
time
and
looking
at
the
future
of
public
safety,
and
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
things
happening.
We
have
a
task
force
that
will
be
producing
a
report.
A
What
does
it
mean
to
reimagine?
You
know
what
does
it
what
you
know?
What
do
you
think
really
has
to
be
done
as
we
kind
of
move
forward,
acknowledging
the
lack
of
safety
that
many
feel
in
our
communities
of
a
variety
of
groups,
especially
african
americans,
some
poor
people
folks
without
addresses
folks
with
different
abilities
and
the
in
and
the
lack
of
safety
they
feel,
along
with
the
balance
of
keeping
the
entire
city
safe.
B
B
We
had
300
000
calls
last
year
in
the
vast
majority
are
in
our
lower
income.
Neighborhoods
police
service
in
those
neighborhoods
are
absolutely
critical,
but
at
the
same
time
we
realize
that
policing
is
much
different
than
what
it
was
10
years
ago
20
years
ago,
and
what
it
will
look
like
in
the
future
will
be
very
different
than
what
it
is
today.
B
You
need
the
baseline
of
protecting
the
public
and
the
public
wants
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
see
that
car
in
their
neighborhood.
They
want
to
see
that
officer
walking
on
the
beat,
but
the
job
of
policing
now
reaches
into
areas
that
in
the
past
would
have
been
handled
by
social
workers
or
by
those
that
take
care
of
people
who
are
suffering
from
addiction
or
are
struggling
with
mental
health
issues
or
find
themselves
homeless
or
formally
incarcerated.
Who
don't
have
a
place
to
stay?
B
B
Nobody
should
be
expected
to
do
that
and
we
should
be
able
to
look
and
reimagine
what
policing
looks
like
through
the
lens
of
what
the
needs
are
today
when
I
was
growing
up
in
my
little
neck
of
the
woods
out
in
scott
township,
we
had
may
view
state
hospital
and
woodville
state
hospital.
Today
we
have
the
allegheny
county
jail.
The
people,
who
would
have
been
getting
help
for
mental
health
issues,
now
find
themselves
in
jail,
not
in
the
hospitals
that
they
have.
B
A
And
thank
you
for
that
man.
I
think
it's
important
to
identify
that
that
we
know
that
we
have
to
reimagine
what
this
broader
model
of
public
safety
really
means
and
how
the
public
feels
safe
and
again,
whether
it's
the
investment
in
developing
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety,
as
a
partnership
to
really
look
at.
What
are
the
other
parts
that
this
that
you
know
the
police
bureau
can
be
assisted
by
other
folks
who
are
really
good
at
those
things
and
looking
at
national
models.
A
Looking
at
the
work
of
gbi
and
a
lot
of
prevention
level,
work
which
has
been
going
on
here
in
the
city
for
some
time
and
has
reduced
especially
the
homicide
rate,
which
was
also
a
very
large
disparity
between
black
and
white,
one
of
the
largest
that
pittsburgh
had
because
of
the
work
of
so
many
folks
who
were
doing
that
work.
And
how
did
he
scale
that
work?
A
And
how
do
we
make
it
so
that
there's
a
person
engaging
with
the
community
before
an
officer
sometime
or
there's
someone
there
serving
as
a
communicator
between
what's
happening
at
a
crime
scene?
What's
happening
at
a
scene
where
someone's
been
harmed-
and
you
know
the
actual
officer
who
has
run
there,
did
80
miles
in
the
80
miles
an
hour
to
get
there
and
everyone's
everyone's
traumatized
everyone's
excited.
A
You
know
what
does
it
mean
to
have
people
there
to
stop
things
from
happening
and
also
to
be
interveners
and
intercessors
while
things
are
happening
on
the
on
the
community?
So
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we're
thinking
about
reimagining
what
harm
looks
like
in
communities
who
have
been
harmed
and
then
how
do
we
model
what
it
means
to
go
forward
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
healthy
in
the
ways
that
they
need
to.
B
I
couldn't
agree
more,
you
know
we
have
over
120
police
departments
in
allegheny
county.
A
lot
of
the
focus
of
marches
and
protests
have
been
on
the
pittsburgh
bureau
of
police.
The
pittsburgh
bureau
police
is
also
now
fully
accredited,
meaning
that
the
training
and
the
standards
that
are
necessary
in
the
state
of
pennsylvania
we
meet
not
all
of
our
departments.
Do
we
we
teach
implicit
bias,
we're
one
of
the
few
departments
in
this
county
that
does
we.
We
have
placed
in
not
only
our
training
but
throughout
different
ways.
B
In
order
for
our
officers
to
be
able
to
handle
tense
situations
again,
it's
not
something
that
most
departments
in
this
county
do
so.
Can
we
do
better?
Yes,
will
we
do
better?
Yes,
and
can
we
change
in
those
four
areas
to
be
able
to
do
a
better
job
at
recruiting
training,
promoting
and
disciplining
yeah
we're
going
to
need
some
state
help
and
a
lot
of
those
rules
are
dictated
not
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
but
by
the
commonwealth
of
pennsylvania.
A
So
I
wanted
to
say
say
that
so
folks
know
that
there
is
work
going
on,
as
well
as
where
there's
work
going
on
in
an
activist
community
which
needs
to
happen
to
create
the
kind
of
conditions
to
talk
about
what
people
are
feeling.
There's.
Also
things
happening
within
the
kind
of
elected
space
of
elected
officials
to
really
kind
of
move.
These
things
in
the
state
capital
where
they've
sat
for
so
long
in.
A
Yeah,
so
really
quickly,
we
want
to
just
can't
we
leave
around
and
talking
about
equity
without
talking
about
the
census.
We
know
that
the
census
is
a
big
issue
right
now,
and
we
know
that
we
have
one
one
fewer
month
to
deal
with
the
census
than
we
did
before,
and
so
we
know
that's
really
important
and
it's
really
important
for
folks
all
across
our
city
to
respond.
If
you,
you
know
the
letter
or
the
letter
you
have
in
your
mailbox,
please
respond.
A
You
know,
folks
are
not
doing
walk-bys
anymore,
so
that
means
we
really
need
to
respond,
and
you
know
I'll.
Let
you
talk
about
in
a
second
mayor,
but
just
I
think
people
don't
always
understand
the
role
and
importance
of
the
census.
So
from
just
your
experience
and
as
a
mayor
and
looking
at
the
equity
components
of
it
by
race,
class,
gender
ability,
orientation
and
all
these
things,
would
you
want
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
the
census
and,
and
why
are
all
of
our
citizens?
A
A
Yeah,
we
just
really
need
folks
to
know
that,
and
we
know
folks
for
that
may
have
countries
of
different
countries
of
origin
or
folks
living
with
them
may
feel
like
people
want
too
much
information,
but
this
is
just
to
let
you
know
that
you
know
we're
not
looking
for
that
kind
of
information.
It's
only
who's
there
in
the
in
the
basic
questions
that
allow
us
to
know
what
we
need.
So,
as
we
form
equity
agendas,
we
can
have
the
resources
from
the
national
level
and
the
federal
government
to
be
able
to
do
that.
A
So
you
know
I
want
to
say
right
before
we
transition
that
next
week
we
will
be
having
a
conversation
around
equity
and
city
planning.
It's
a
it's
a
conversation
that
we
don't
normally
have,
but
we
know
that
equity,
equity
and
planning
has
been
a
huge
part
of
what
has
created
some
challenges
for
cities.
Robert
moses,
as
well
as
others,
come
to
mind
just
around
the
role
of
planning,
and
that
planning
is
not
that
it's
really
important
and
having
an
equity
lens
on
that
is
important.
A
So
we'll
be
talking
to
the
leadership
and
our
department
of
city
planning
on
the
planning
that
has
been
happening
going
for
have
happening
and
will
be
happening
going
forward.
So
please
tune
in.
You
know
next
monday,
at
noon
around
that
kind
of
conversation,
to
hear
about
many
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
in
neighborhoods
to
make
sure
we're
doing
equitable
planning.
