A
We're
going
to
have
today
about
the
issues
that
we
are
missing
in
Chelsea.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
showing
up
I
am
so
appreciate
to
have
this
crowd
here.
I
am
so
glad
to
see
everybody
here.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
capping.
For
those
who
do
not
know
me.
I
am
thrilled
to
see
you
all
here
this
morning
and
I
still
tell
you
that
in
57
years
of
catholic's,
History
ASCAP
has
not
been
to
Chelsea
once
so.
A
We
are
more
than
excited
to
welcome
our
supporting
agency
to
Chelsea
today,
if
we're
going
to
have
a
really
good
conversation
about
the
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
here
in
Chelsea
and
I.
Think
we've
got
the
right
people
in
the
room
to
talk
about
the
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
and
Joe
diamond
is
the
executive
director
of
mass
cap
I
am
thrilled
to
have
received
Joseph
Court
I
came
into
this
position
three
years
ago.
A
I'm
a
pandemic,
Maybe
and
I
have
had
nothing
but
support
from
Joe
and
bascal,
and
his
Acclaim
and
all
the
folks
over
at
Mass
capsule
I
am
thrilled
that
they
had
to
join
us
here
this
morning
and
they
are
our
supporting
agency.
We
have
23
23
CAA
Community
Action
agencies
across
the
state.
Capic
is
just
one
of
23,
and
mass
cap
supports
us.
Mascad
fastcap
advocates
for
us
for
funding.
Mass
cats
mask
have
advocates
for
us,
for
other
things,
all
resources,
all
things
that
are
necessary.
A
They
have
been
our
supporters
and
our
advocators
in
raising
funds
and
making
sure
that,
on
the
state
level,
all
the
issues
that
we
are
facing
with
our
agencies
are
addressed.
It's
beautiful
it's
a
beautiful
hot
chip
that
we
have.
They
are
extremely
supportive
there
on
the
Forefront
of
issues
that
we
deal
with
in
our
head
start,
they're,
all
always
advocating
for
our
agencies
and
I'm
getting
thrilled
to
have
other
people
from
other
agencies.
E
Thank
you
very
much.
Michelle
I
am
I'm
thrilled
to
be
here
and
I'm
thrilled
to
be
in
this
room.
This
is
the
council
chamber,
and
this
is
where
this
is
the
room
where
it
happened
in
Chelsea,
and
it's
great
that
we're
able
to
be
here
together
in
this
room,
because
this
is
where
the
voices
are
raised
and
we're
going
to
raising
more
voices.
Today,
it's
been
really
wonderful,
getting
to
know
Rochelle
true.
She
started
at
the
Chelsea
as
the
Director
of
the
cabin
right
I
think
it
was
a
very
good
community.
E
E
I
had
her
commitment,
the
way
she
was
recognized
recently
and
it's
supposedly,
although
she
was
given
just
the
other
day
last
night,
the
humanitarian
award
for
the
people's
effort.
E
As
Michelle
said,
Mass
cap
is
an
association
of
the
23
federally
mandated
anti-poverty
agencies
in
Massachusetts.
There
are
a
thousand
actually
across
the
country
created
in
1964
as
part
of
the
greatest
exciting
program.
So
we're
really
proud
of
that
history,
this
history,
that
that
we
Embrace
and
we
and
we
think
that
the
work
that
the.
E
Is
basically
the
same,
it's
an
important
Legacy.
We
learn
from
the
past,
but
we
are
always
looking
to
the
Future
and
so
part
of
what
we
do.
Part
of
our
responsibility
in
terms
of
the
agencies
themselves
is
to
just
make
sure
that
we
serve
with
a
variety
of
integrated
services.
Also,
our
responsibility
is
to
make
sure
that
we
raise
the
issue.
E
Have
the
discussion
about
how
to
address
poverty
together
as
frequently
as
we
can
as
effectively
as
we
can
and
as
local
as
we
can
in
a
few
minutes,
we'll
have
a
hearing
from
the
answer
back
from
Mass
budget
to
talk
about
the
report
on
how
we've
done
and
that's
about
different
compared
for
us.
It's
updated
every
year
since
2018..
It
provides
important,
important,
important
context
for
our
work.
E
It's
a
jumping
off
one
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
these
conversations
if
we're
moving
forward
in
terms
of
public
policies,
programs
and
practices,
so
we're
thrilled
that
you're
all
here
today
and
we're
also
at
the
points
of
the
panel
today,
we
will
have
some
really
good
discussions
led
by
Alex
train
is
here
as
well
from
Chelsea.
So
without
any
further
ado,
if
it's
okay.
C
F
F
Because
I,
like
pictures
and
I,
it
was
such
a
great
introduction
by
Joe,
because
I
I
really
believe
that
the
best
way
for
all
of
us
to
have
this
conversation
about
how
Chelsea
can
move
forward
is
to
think
about
where
we've
come
from,
because
we
don't
magically
arrive
in
the
moment.
There's
been
a
series
of
decisions,
politics
policy
decisions
over
the
years
that
lead
us
to
where
we
are
today.
C
F
D
F
Policy
Center,
where
public
policy
Think
Tank
focus
on
racial
equity
and
racial
and
economic
equity
based
in
Boston
I'm,
a
researcher
kidstown
director.
This
report,
here
you
can
find
at
a
Crossroads
created
in
regarding
brought
up
Covenant
life
in
Columbus,
has
really
had
a
really
significant
impact
on
many
of
the
ways
we
go
about
our
lives
and
I,
I,
think
and
I.
Think
many
of
us
see
how
we
have
come
to
a
process.
It
put
us
at
a
Crossroads
where
we
have
a
lot
of
choices
to
make.
F
You
know
you
get
to
a
Crossroads
and
you
say
which
way
am
I
going
to
go
so
I
think
that's
that's
the
framing
in
which
I
want
to
have
this
conversation.
You
can
get
a
copy
of
this
report
at
the
masspath.org.
That's
the
Community,
Action
Agency,
and
also
at
best
budget
government,
so
I'm
not
probably
not
going
to
be
able
to
use
the
Clippers
so
I'm
going
to
have
to
ask
you
Lisa
to
advances.
D
H
F
So
when
the
this
whole,
this
report,
that
we've
done
is
we.
F
Road
to
opportunity:
well,
what
is
opportunity
I
mean?
We
live
in
a
beautiful
state.
I
mean
look
at
these
things.
These
are
beautiful
pictures
and
I.
Think
we
all
know
what
opportunity
is
it's,
this
sort
of
the
vision
that
we
have,
that
we
want
to
promise
to
our
kids
about
everyone
should
have
their
best
chance
at
their
brightest
future.
Our
schools,
our
Public
Schools,
should
be
well
resources,
well-funded.
We
can
provide
a
great
education
that
sets
each
kid
on
whatever
path
they
choose.
F
We
want
to
live
in
communities
that
are
safe,
that
are
affordable,
that
are
well
resourced,
that
have
parks
and
playgrounds
and
libraries
that
provide
great
opportunities.
We
want
to
have
jobs
that
are
stable,
pay
well
with
good
benefits.
These
are
the
things
we
want
for
ourselves
for
our
family.
We
can
work
for
our
neighbors.
This
is
the
kind
of
opportunity
we
have.
F
So
that's
the
road
to
opportunities
for
talking
about
so
I'm
telling
you
a
story
I'm
doing
it,
because
I'm
from
Mass
budget
I'm
doing
it
with
graphs,
but
don't
worry
I
will
explain
the
graphs
so
that
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
If
I
as
I
said,
I
want
to
tell
sort
of
go
faculty
little
bit
and
I'm
going
to
go
back
just
a
couple
generations
to
what
we
call
the
post-world
War
II
economic
boom.
You
might
have
heard
about
the
post-war
who
I'm
just
going
to
tell
that
story.
F
I
F
C
F
That's
this
is
our
picture
of
post-world
War
II
America,
here's
the
first
something
we're
going
to
measure
and
it's
productivity.
If
any
of
you
are
in
contact
productivity,
but
regardless
this
is
productivity,
and
you
know
what
it
is.
It's
the
economy,
it's
just
a
fancy
word
for
the
economy.
This
is
the
U.S
economy
and
we're
measuring
how
it's
grown
during
this
post-world
War
II
period,
And.
F
At
that
I
say
pump,
it's
broke
it's
about
double.
During
this
period
you
can
see
it's
just
a
London,
Little
Wiggles
they're,
always
Wiggles,
but
it's
bone.
It's
about
double
during
this
period.
That's
very
interesting.
During
World,
after
World
War
II,
the
economy
grew
Okay,
so
I'm
putting
another
line
up
this
one's
called
compensation.
It's
sort
of
compensated,
it's
like
wages
and
benefits,
but
what
it
really
is.
It's
what's
going
into
workers
pockets?
Okay.
F
F
F
This
is
sort
of
a
story
of
the
post-world
War
II
economic
boom.
Here's
and
what
we
can
see
here
is
this:
is
national
income
data?
Don't
have
to
go
into
all
the
details,
but
what
you.
F
Lines
are
kind
of
grow.
In
that
same
way,
this
is
saying
for
people
sort
of
near
the
bottom.
Their
incomes
grew
people
whose
incomes
were
in
the
middle.
The
area
comes
through
people
at
the
top,
their
way
across
food,
and
you
know
what
they
all
grow.
At
about
the
same
rate,
you
can
see
that
these
lines
again
are
kind
of
on
top
of
each
other.
Okay.
This
is
interesting.
Here's
another
picture.
These
are
more
pictures
of
this
period.
F
I
love
that
ad
from
the
from
the
Ford
motor
foundation
in
Ford,
Motor
Company
in
the
early
1950s
you
used
to
have
one
car.
Now
you
can
spot
two
cars.
You
know,
what's
this
public,
this
sort
of
idea
of
the
prosperity
of
consumer
goods,
you
know
suburbanization,
we
have
interstates.
This
is
this
might
be
93.
and.
F
F
That
are
turning
our
small,
you
know
sort
of
our
small
towns
in
in
Massachusetts
into
suburbs.
You
know
prosperous
suburbs.
This
is
all
this
story
of
the
post,
World
War
II
Prosperity.
This
is
this
is
very
interesting,
an
important
story,
but
there's
also
another
side
to
this
story.
So
at
the
same
so
while
we
have
this
sort
of
economic
food,
there
were
a
variety
of
federal
state
and
local
policy
choices.
That.
F
That
put
up
barriers
them
blocked
access
to
that
opportunity
that
was
created
by
the
apartment.
It
was
blocking
some
people
from
getting
access
to
that
Prosperity.
So
this
map
in
the
back
might
be
a
familiar
sort
of
map.
It's
actually
there's
Chelsea
in
there.
This
is
a
map
that
was
created
by
a
federal
agency,
the
homeowners
loan
corporation
in
the
late
1930s
40s.
They
sent
people
out
into
neighborhoods
across
the
country
to
describe
Define
and
map
out
the
communities
by
based
on
who
lived
there,
and
then
these
neighborhoods
were
color-coded.
F
Neighborhoods,
let's
get
left,
let's
pour
lots
of
money
into
the
blue
neighborhoods
and
there
were
some
neighborhoods
outlined
in
green.
They
have
some
quote:
unquote:
risk
factors,
but
still
ready
for
one
thing
that
there
were
neighborhoods
that
were
yellow
in
some
neighborhoods
were
outlined
in
red.
You
may
have
heard
the
term
redlining,
that's
where
it
comes
from
the
neighborhoods
that
were
outlined
and
read
by
the
homeowners.
Local
Corporation
were
considered
hazardous
for
Lending
and
what
were
the
characteristics
of
those
neighborhoods?
It.
F
F
F
C
F
Was
not
equally
accessible
for
black
effects,
the
blackheads
returning
from
fighting
the
war,
we're
not
we're
not
able
to
get
the
same
kind
of
benefits
as
the
white
beds
were.
We
had
segregated
public
housing,
restrictive
zoning
I
had
a
little
orange
area
here,
pointing
to
an
excerpt
from
a
community
sort
of
a
community,
a
deed
for
a
community
in
western
Mass.
Here
it
says
no
persons
of
any
race
other
than
the
white
race
shall
use
or
occupy
any
buildings
or
lot.
So
these
are
called
restrictive
covenants.
You
might
have
heard
that
term.
F
C
F
F
If
these
these
interstates
were
carve
brightly
paper,
which
also
sort
of
dis
disrupting
Community,
residential
and
economic
patterns,
so
again,
these
were
all
policy
choices
made
during
this
same
period
that
went
alongside
the
the
policy.
F
President
Johnson
here
right
here,
he's
declaring
his
war
on
poverty,
where
he
wants
to
use
the
weapons
of
better
schools,
help
homes,
trainings
and
jobs.
A
highlight,
1964,
Economic,
Opportunity,.
F
That
creates
you,
the
network
of
Community
Action
agencies,
and
this
is
the
map
of
the
across
the
state,
still
providing
essential
Services
created
all
that
time
ago
and
still
doing
their
job
to
bring
help,
help
bring
prosperity
to
low-income
communities.
So
another
graph,
so
some
people
say
well
we're
on
poverty.
F
It's
an
actually
very
interesting
and
important
question,
and
this
graph
here
we
have
U.S
poverty
rates
in
Massachusetts
poverty
rates,
I
want
you
can
what
I
want
you
to
see
from
this
graph
is
a
drop
in
the
beginning
in
poverty,
and
then
things
kind
of
flatten
out
okay.
So
the
important
thing
is
that
Rob,
which
tells
us
something
it
tells
us
that
that
the
programs
that
were
created
by
the
war
on
poverty,
that
many
of
you
are
involved
in
they
actually
have
worked.
Those.
F
Snap
housing
assistants
other
kinds
of
benefits.
We
know
from
the
data
of
Love
data.
We
know
from
the
data
that
they
have
in
fact
served
to
cut
poverty
in
path.
Those
programs
are
locked
up,
have
lifted
people
out
of
poverty.
This
is
kind
of
a
weird
photograph
you're
going
to
see
one
like
this
at
the
end,
so
I
want
to
explain
how
to
read
it.
So
imagine
that
people-
oh
the
whole
blue
donut.
F
All
the
people
in
Massachusetts
that
orange
wedge
is
people
who
these
programs
have
benefited,
have
made
them
less
poor,
but
they're
still
in
poverty.
Okay,
then,
that
pale
blue
wedge
is
the
people
who
would
have
been
in
poverty,
had
they
not
had
access
to
snap
housing
assistance,
eitc,
child
tax
credits,
School
meals,
the
other
kinds
of
programs
that
were
created
during
the
war
on
poverty,
and
you
can
see
by
the
you
know
the
size
and
shapes
of
those
wedges
that
poverty
would
be
double
if
we
didn't
have
access
to
those
programs.
F
C
F
You
remember
these
lines.
This
was
the
economy
and
wages
right
on
top
of
each
other
during
the
post,
World
War
II
period.
Now
what
we
want
to
do
is
take
this
story
out
to
our
current
generation
and
just
see.
What's
going
on,
okay,
there's
the
economy,
it's
Wiggles,
always
Wiggles,
ups
and
downs.
We
know
that,
but
it's
still
growing.
You
can
see
that
in
general,
it's
sort
of
that
line
is
just
continuing
to
grow.
So.
C
F
Have
a
really
robust
economy
overall
in
this
country,
but
look
at
what's
happened
to
wages.
This
is
what
goes
into
workers
copies.
This
is
very
interesting
because
we
have
found
policy
changes.
It's
not
magical
policy
changes
broke
that
link
between
economic
growth
and
growth
and
wages
and
benefits
something
happened.
It
wasn't
magic.
It's
policy
choices
broke
that
link.
That
meant
that
all
of
a
suddenly
stopped
getting
this
benefit
from
the
growing
income.
So
what
are
some
of
those
policy
changes?
F
So
this
is
sort
of
a
collage
I
put
together
of
examples
of
the
kinds
of
policy
changes
right
there
in
the
middle
of
the
Reagan
reversing
many
U.S
policies.
The
text
is
over
there
on
the
left
and
during
the
70s.
At
that
time
of
that
break,
there
were
Federal
choices
to
do
a
number
of
things.
First
of
all,
the
federal
agencies
that
were
designed
to
support
workers
were
starved
resources.
F
There
was
a
there
was
a
focus
on
sort
of
addressing
concern
about
inflation
rather
than
concern
at
the
macroeconomic
rather
than
concerned
about
concern
about
unemployment.
The
protections
for
work
protections
for
unions
were
limited,
the
minimum
wage.
What
you
know,
minimum
wage
has
been
around
for
a
long
time
and
it
didn't
grow
to
keep
up
with
inflation
and
again,
there
are
words,
deregulation
of
the
kind
of
deregulation
of
corporations
that
allow
them
to
continue
to
make
profits
without
the
kind
of
oversight
that
they
just
have.
F
So
these
were
a
series
again
of
policy
choices
that
broke
badly.
So
remember,
we
had
U.S
data
where
we
showed
wages
golf
at
all
at
different
income
levels,
going
up
in
the
same
rate
now
look
at
what
happens
with
wages
now
or
Massachusetts
state.
For
this.
What
do
we
see
for
folks
at
the
bottom?
What's
happening
to
their
wages.
F
For
inflation
reflect
what's
happening
for
folks
in
the
middle,
it
comes
in
the
middle
flat.
This
is
kind
of
confusing,
because
the
economy
is
still
doing
really
well.
Where
is
all
the
benefit
of
economic
growth
during
this
time?
But
it's
not
going
into
most
people's
pockets.
You
can
see
that,
where
is
it
going?
One
more
line?
This
is
folks
in
Massachusetts
at
the
two
he
talks.
This
is
the
top
one
percent.
These
are
folks
with
incomes.
C
F
Of
growing
inequality
in
Massachusetts,
so
the
economy
is
doing
fine
who's
benefiting
from
it
is
what's
changed,
so
this
chart
with
another
line
is
I
think
out
in
the
front.
Just
I
just
want
to
sort
of
dig
in
a
little
deeper
to
numbers
in
the
middle.
F
We
know
that
when
you
disaggregate
by
data,
which
is
hard
in
Massachusetts,
just
because
we're
a
very
white
State,
we
also
know
that
the
black
and
latinx
workers-
it's
even
tougher,
they're,
more
likely
to
be
stuck
in
lower
wage
jobs,
and
we
succeed
with
the
wages
with
those
jobs
and
what
happens?
What.
F
So
we'll
Zoom
now
into
today,
and
then
I'll
turn
over
to
our
piano,
but
I
just
want
to
show
you
something
keep
all
of
that
history
in
mind
when
you
look
at
one
of
these
numbers
show
us
today,
it's
not
we.
We
know
about
unequal.
We
know
about
this
history
of
unequal
access
to
Economic
Opportunity
and
he
shows
upload
of
numbers
today.
It
just
shows
it
shows
right
up.
F
F
This
is
showing
I
like
to
I
mean
the
poverty.
The
official
poverty
grade
is
very
low
and
the
cost
of
living
is
very
high
in
Massachusetts,
so
I
always
like
to
look
at
a
population
about
twice
the
poverty
rate.
We
call
it
sort
of
poor
in
the
airport
and
what
we
can
see
that
almost
half
of
some
it's
half
of
in
some
of
our
communities-
Lawrence
Springfield,
almost
half
of
our
folks-
are
for
Premiere.
This
is
this
is
current.
This
is,
you
may
have
heard
a
lot
about
wealth
inequality.
Well,
you
know.
F
Well,
where
does
wealth
wealth
is
something
that
gets
passed
down
typically
from
generation
to
generation,
your
mother
or
grandmother
who
did
not
have
access
to
a
loan
to
start
a
business
to
buy
a
house?
It
is
much
more
likely
that
you
in
this
generation
are
not
going
to
have
accumulated
wealth,
so.
F
Year
after
year
of
this
income
in
next
opportunity
and
equality
shows
I've
been
well
inequality.
The
two
sets
of
numbers
here
you
may
be
familiar
with
the
numbers
from
2015
from
the
Boston
Federal
Reserve
Bank-
that
showed
that
in
Eastern,
Massachusetts
White
household
net
worth
was
about
247
thousand
dollars
black
now
worth
about
eight
dollars
on
a
typo.
F
D
C
F
Coven
at
being
a
Crossroads-
and
you
know,
we
I-
think
many
people
talk
about
how
covet
show
showed
a
spot.
Put
put
our
state
put
a
spotlight
on
our
state
shining
on
the
inequities
in
a
variety
of
ways.
You
know
and.
F
Sort
of
telling
the
story
here,
but
you
all
know
that
you
know
social,
distancing
and
remote
work
are
luxuries,
so
this
table,
what
this
table
does
is
it
puts
together
how
these
long-standings
and
equities
and
access
to
good
jobs
and
housing
played
a
role
in
code
is
red
and
you
can
see
Chelsea
80
people
of
color
30
residents,
poor
near
poor
median
income.
We've
talked
about
below
the
below
the
state
average
about
25
about
one
out
of
every
four
Chelsea
renters
is
paying
50
or
more
of
their
income
on
rent.
F
F
Here's
what
I
wanted
I
want
to
point
out
about
our
our
federal
partnership.
We
know
that
this
is
U.S
stated
that
the
federal
coveted
relief
policies
that
increased
the
earned
income,
tax
credit
and
the
child
tax
credit
have
had
a
dramatic
impact
on
kids
and
in
fact
those
two
policies
have
cut
kid:
poverty
in
half
in
half.
F
So
when
you
hear
at
the
state
about
campaigns
to
increase
the
eitc
to
expand
the
child
tax
credit
at
the
state,
that's
a
way
to
continue
that
policy
impact
Beyond
when
the
federal
government
believed
runs
up,
because
this
is
when
this
is
when
the
federal
covert
relief
had
expanded
the
eitc
and
the
child
tax
credit
that
has
gone
back
to
where
it
was.
But
this.
F
To
make
these
programs
have
limited
kids
out
of
poverty,
those
who
haven't
been
lifted
all
the
way
out
of
poverty
are
certainly
made
less
food,
so
final,
few
words
about
2020
and
the
census.
As
you
all
know,
the
pandemic
dramatically
affected
data
collection
on
the
census,
both
the
decennial
census
and
the
American
Community
survey,
there's
a
very
important,
valuable
Grassroots
effort
here
at
Chelsea
that
helped
increase
participation
in
Chelsea.
Thank
you
to
all
of
you.
We
did
that
I.
F
Say
the
20,
the
2020
census,
we
know
already
puffiness
1
out
of
20
of
our
youngest
youngest
kids.
Kids
under
five
are
probably
not
showing
up
in
a
sentence.
We
need
to
keep
that
in
mind.
When
we
look
at
those
numbers
at
stake,
it's
accuracy
Equity
power
money.
Can
you
say
why
are
we
talking
about
the
census
and
I
say
with
this?
Entire
conversation
has
been
about
your
census.
Each
of
these
charts
stories
that
I've
told
you
about
have
relied
on
data
from
the
Census.
F
So
we
tell
we
add
to
the
you,
tell
the
stories
of
your
communities
and
we
add
to
those
stories
with
these
data
and
I'm
saying
this
as
sort
of
a
because
I
want
to
pitch
the
sentences
as
always
being
important.
It's
2023
in
about
two
or
three
years,
we're
going
to
start
organizing
for
the
count
in
2030.
So
don't
forget
about
the
census,
It's
always
important
every
year
and
in
fact,
every
year
it's.
F
Money
into
our
communities,
Federal
funding-
you
know
that
115
million
in
federal
government
really
some
portion
of
us
at
all,
but
some
portion
of
it
is
distributed
to
Chelsea
based
on
your
census
taxes.
So
if
you
don't
get
counted
in
the
census
of
your
community
misses
out
on
money,
it
would
be
entitled
to
so.
This
is
just
a
listing
of
some
of
the
many
programs
that
are
that
we
rely
on
federal
funding.
We
rely
on
our
census
caps.
F
From
these
Services
they're
really
really
important,
so
finally,
just
I
sort
of
came
up
with
four
takeaways
you
might
have.
Your
own
policies
have
had
long
lasting
impacts
can
have
cemented
racial
and
economic
inequality.
F
Poverty
comes
from
low-wage
work,
under-resourced
communities.
The
crisis
created
by
covet
has
created
an
opportunity
to
move
forward
with
bold
Solutions
and
Center
equity
and
the
data
we
have
shapes
the
stories
we
tell
and
the
census
holds
a
key
to
power
and
money.
So
that's
where
you
can
get
in
touch
with
me.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
Nancy.
That
information
is
very,
very
powerful.
It
gives
us
a
picture
of
a
snapshot
of
how
Chelsea
how
how
our
community
has
been
how
we
came
to
this
point,
the
history
of
how
we
got
here,
institutionalized
redlining
decisions
that
were
made
to
exclude
lower
income
to
exclude
black
and
brown
people.
You
know
what
I
mean,
so
this
information
is
very,
very
powerful
because
it
gives
us
a
sense
of
where
do
we
go?
Who
do
we
address?
How
do
we
address
this
issue
and
who
do
we,
who
do
we
have
as
an
audience?
A
A
And
I'm
going
to
bring
up
our
keynote
speaker,
I'm
thrilled
I
was
so
thrilled
to
have
Judith
Garcia
join
us
as
I
came
up
speak
up.
Judith
Garcia
is
a
Chelsea
girl.
She
is
an
advocate
of
all
the
things
important
to
us
in
all
our
agencies
in
Chelsea
she's,
one
of
our
sisters
in
the
mission
and
I'm
truly
thrilled
to
have
her.
A
J
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
having
me
I
definitely
want
to
recognize
everyone
here
and
can
say
that
you
know.
For
me,
this
presentation
is
definitely
a
reflection
of
the
in
what
we
inherited
and
what
we
inherited
is
an
inequitable
system
that
has
kept
our
community
impoverished
and
it
continues
to
keep
us
there.
J
But
today
we
are
here
at
a
such
such
a
symbolic
place
where
at
the
Chelsea
Chambers
and
for
the
past
eight
years,
I've
had
the
honor
to
say
right
there
at
that
corner,
making
some
really
tough
choices,
but
constantly
I
don't
do
that.
A
lot
I
do
that,
recognizing
the
leadership
and
work
of
many
of
the
people
who
are
here.
J
You
know
when
I
look
at
this
audience,
I
see
members
of
Community,
Health,
centers,
I,
see
leadership
of
non-profit
organizations,
I,
see
community
members
who
have
been
doing
the
community
building
I,
see
individuals
who
have
always
stood
up
to
really
fight
against
the
injustices
that
this
community
has
seen.
And
you
know
what
I've
invited
to
to
speak
in
this
panel
and
I
knew
that
the
conversation
and
the
theme
is
finding
a
way
forward.
I
can't
help
but
think
about
what
happened
in
2020
yeah.
J
World,
but
it
was
communities
like
Chelsea
who
have
inherited
an
inequitable
system
that
would
hit
the
hardest
and
when
I
was
ready
to
speak
here,
I
figured.
You
know,
obviously
I
I'm
right
here,
because
I'm
making
history
right,
I'm,
making
history
as
the
first
woman,
the
first
Latina
The
First
Daughter
of
of
Chelsea,
but
also
the
doctor
of
an
essential
worker
who
has
the
lived
experience
of
many
of
these
families
and
many
of
these
individuals
and
yeah
I'm,
making
history
and
and
I'm
expected
to
go
to
the
state
level
and
make
policy
changes.
J
How
much
it
matters,
but
what
we
really
need
to
focus
on
is
that
for
representation
comes
great
responsibility
and
when,
when
I
talk
about
that,
I
mean
it's
not
just
enough
to
speak
in
platitudes.
It's
not
just
enough
to
say:
hey,
look,
I'm
Latina
and
we're
making
this
free
and
I'm
going
to
the
steakhouse.
It's.
What
can
we
be
doing
at
the
policy
level
to
really
affect
change
and
I
have
been
fortunate,
even
though
this
community
for
32
years
lacked
up
a
presentation
at
the
state
level.
J
I
J
J
So
that's
the
sort
of
leader
I
want
to
be
at
the
state
level,
someone
who
always
recognizes
that
we
need
to
work
in
Partnership
that
in
unity,
that's
our
superpower.
You
know
part
of
my
story.
For
those
who
don't
know
me.
I
I
am
the
proud
daughter
of
a
single
mother
who
emigrated
from
a
Ludas
back
in
the
late
80s
and
from
you
saw
from
the
graphic
right.
Chelsea
has
a
lot
of
history
of
waves
of
immigration
and
my
mom
was
forced
out
of
her
country.
She
didn't
want
to
be
here.
J
J
J
She
was
living
with
people,
she
didn't
know
renting
a
little
room
sleeping
in
the
floor
and
she
would
never
cook
because
she
was
too
shy
and
she
tells
me
you
know:
I
would
buy
food
and
the
son
of
my
roommate
would
always
eat
my
food,
and
sometimes
I
would
go
to
bed
without
food
in
my
stomach
and
then
she
got
a
job
at
how
many
of
you
are.
Okay,
please,
my.
J
J
Paid
job
to
retire
in
dignity,
to
get
the
rest
that
we
have
for
our
kids
to
offer
our
kids
the
best
education
and
then
I
came
along
another
challenge
for
her,
like
many
challenges
for
many
of
our
single
moms,
it's
hard
to
raise
a
kid
earning
five
dollars
an
hour
having
to
pay
rent.
My
mom
was
a
victim
of
domestic
violence
and
she
had
to
make
a
tough
choice.
J
Do
I
choose
to
stay
with
this
man
who
who
helps
me
get
by
and
pay
rent
or
do
I
choose
to
break
out
of
that
cycle
of
violence
and
make
a
path
on
my
own
and
and
figuring
out,
and
she
did
that.
You
know
she
she
tells
me.
We
live
on
a
Walnut
Street
and
she
tells
me
that
there
were
times
where
she
couldn't
afford
rent.
J
J
J
I
J
J
So
that's
the
reality
and
the
part
with
the
story
of
the
home
is
she
tells
me
I,
don't
know
what
took
over
me.
Maybe
it
was
the
Holy
Spirit,
but
I
told
the
landlord
out
by
his
house.
Thank
you,
I'll
buy
it
and
she
tells
me
that
he
said
to
her
sure
yeah.
Why
she
tells
me
you
know
I
close
that
door
behind
me
and
I
said:
oh
holy
Jesus,
you
know
and
she's.
J
Thousand
dollars-
and
we
talked
about
the
loans
right,
we
talked
about
the
loans
and
how
how
difficult
the
world
you
know
she
put
three
thousand
dollars
there,
and
then
she
had
to
take
some
BMI
insurance
and
all
these
things
and
I
remember
being
with
her
I
was
young.
I
was
like
seven
eight
years
old
and
there
were
a
lot
of
things.
I
wanted
to
understand.
You.
J
To
be
there
and
I
had
to
be
The
Interpreter
at
that
very
young
age,
and
that's
the
story
to
this
day
of
many
of
Chelsea
residents.
You
go
to
the
Community
Health
Center
in
Chelsea,
and
you
see
that
little
kid
that
tells
the
kid
translated
from
their
parents,
and
that
was
my
thing.
You
know
that
was
my
life
and
and
I.
Remember
she
did
by
the
house
and
and
back
to
her,
was
an
example
of
achievement,
even
though
she
didn't
know
him.
J
I
going
to
be
for
this
time
for
that
and
then
you
you
have.
The
typical
struggle
is
that
how
those
are
the
stories
that
that
our
families
are
facing
and
there's
other
people
who
can't
afford
rentals?
There
are
other
people
now
with
with
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
and
the
inflation
that
we're
that
we're
facing
and
everything
you
pointed
out
that
had
to
get
three
jobs.
My
mom
has
only
had
she's
been
privileged.
J
Is
two
thousand
three
thousand
dollars
and
you
know
what's
our
path
going
forward
right?
What's
the
way
forward
and
what
this
community
has
done,
even
though
we've
recognized
we've
inherited
in
an
inequitable
system,
what
we've
learned
is
government
is
slow
to
happen,
we're
hesitant
to
experiment
but
Chelsea
Chelsea
this
community,
the
municipal
leaders,
talk
about
Racino.
Our
city
manager
is
Administration,
the
local
employees,
the
Grassroots
activists,
the
community
organizations
we
have
stepped
up
together
to
the
plate
to
challenge
those
Notions
and
introduced
bold
legislation.
J
The
Uber,
the
the
Chelsea
is
I,
always
say:
Uber,
it's
chocolate,
the
Chelsea
eats
program
was
Innovative
and
we
were
the
first
of
the
state
to
do
it.
The
Chelsea
ET
program
we
got
criticized
because
we
were
giving
money
out
to
what
others
say
in
the
poor.
That's
what
we
were
doing.
What
we
were
doing
is
we
were
giving
a
lifeline,
a
Lifeline
to
families
who
needed
it
most.
When
the
pandemic
hit
and
families
couldn't
afford
rent.
J
We
said,
let's
make
sure
that
yeah
the
steak
was
doing
incredible.
You
know
we've
been
lucky
to
have
Senator,
Salvador
and
Eco
and
6.
Instead
of
Danny
writing
fighting
for
us
being
our
Champions,
but
let's
be
real,
you
know
they
can
only
do
so
much
at
the
municipal
level.
We
have
to
step
up
and
add
to
the
way
that
we
did
that
right.
We
looked
at
at
the
challenges
we
we
thought
about
those
people
that
have
different
immigration,
statuses
that
were
left
behind
by
some
of
these
programs.
J
We
saw
rental
assistance
programs
where
we
were
undocumented,
we
couldn't
apply.
How
can
we
say
that
with
more
than
70
of
our
population
is
not
only
poor
right?
The
median
income
is
from
what
we
signed
and
he
said
it
was
50
50
to
70
000,
that's
the
medium
income
in
a
community
where
there
was
a
report
that
came
out
just
over
the
summer
that,
in
order
to
live
in
Boston,
you
need
to
make
at
least
160
000
dollars
to
just
get
back.
J
So
we
created
both
initiatives
to
address
some
of
those
gaps
and
we
continue.
We
can
continue
to
do
that,
but
we
need
to
enrolled
in
our
action
and,
as
it
was
said
today,
policy
those
are
our
choices.
Then
we
need
to
work
the
community
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
the
right
decisions
we're
doing
right
for
our
people
and
we
need
to
continue.
A
J
Don't
want
to
take
too
much
of
of
our
time,
because
we
have
a
panel
and
you'll
hear
today
that
our
way
forward
is
doing
exactly
that.
Working
together,
you
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
our
Senator,
what's
going
on
in
our
state,
where
you're
going
to
hear
from
from
Jennifer
what
what
you're
doing
and
what
we
can
be
doing
for
local
businesses,
that
the
majority
are
are
minority
right
and
they
need
the
help
because
they're
the
engines
of
our
economy.
What
can
we
be
doing?
J
You
know
you're
going
to
hear
from
dunkboard
to
us
a
lot
of
the
programs
that
we're
doing
the
Chelsea
Hub
program
that
a
lot
of
the
downtown
initiatives
that
are
happening
have
been
successful
because
we've
seen
the
internet,
the
intersectionality
of
working
together,
Rochelle
we're
going
to
hear
from
you
from
topic.
Catholic
has
allowed
a
lot
of
people
to
have
fuel
assistance,
to
apply
for
staff
programming,
to
break
a
little
bit
and
mitigate
those
cycles
of
poverty,
and
obviously
we're
going
to
hear
from
from
Jennifer
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit.
J
But
I'm
not
saying
about
more
of
the
the
health
disparities
that
that's
going
on
in
our
community
health.
People
address
that
through
community
health
centers
and
we're
going
to
be
moderated
by
one
of
our
brightest
and
best
a
Chelsea
resident
and
who
not
only
focuses
a
lot.
I
feel
like
Alex
is
the
sort
of
person.
J
So
yeah
I
wanted
to
say,
but
I
I
challenge
you
to
really
learn
and
take
notes
from
the
panel
today
because
they
are
the
ones
at
the
Forefront.
Not
only
not
only
a
boyfriend
I
also
should
say
many
of
them
hide
behind
the
curtain.
J
A
lot
of
the
folks
that
you
don't
see
who
are
writing
the
policies
who
are
thinking
of
how
we're
going
to
implement
programs
I
can
tell
you
that
there's
elected
officials
here
that
we
dream
sometimes
but
the
ones
who
make
sure
that
the
policy
is
happening
and
it's
viable,
are
the
municipal
advice.
So
with
that
I
need
you
and
I
hope
that
you
really
cherish
the
the
voices
and
what
you're
going
to
hear
today
and
that
we
all
learn
something
from
our
incredible
leaders
and
people
that
make
Chelsea
Pride.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
To
share
our
passion
for
community
and
I'm,
so
thankful
that
you
go
through
on
that
level
and
advocating
for
us
on
that
level,
because
we
are
going
to
do
so
much
more
for
Chelsea
you
only
just
a
young
girl,
you
have
only
just
begun.
We
are
truly
thankful
to
God.
So
next
I'm
going
to
introduce
our
moderator
as
students
talking
about
Alex
Alex,
has
been
a
huge
battle.
Data.
B
Good
morning,
everyone
Rochelle
thank
you
for
the
introduction.
B
Panelists,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
coming
up
we'll
dive
into
a
couple
of
questions,
looking
forward
to
this
morning's
discussion
at
the
end,
we're
going
to
leave
about
20
minutes
for
a
q
a
session.
So
if
you
have
questions
that
you're
looking
to
ask
any
of
those
panelists
or
just
more
generally,
we'll
move
into
that
about
15-20
minutes
after
the
airports,
fantastic,
so
first
off,
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude.
B
Have
been
on
speaking
supporters
of
lifting
Chelsea
residents
out
of
poverty
and
tackling
these
issues
of
racial
and
Equity
yeah,
and
so
to
start
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
introduce
themselves
and
then
we'll
move
on
with
the
hello.
K
Everyone
to
be
here
in
Chelsea
with
all
of
my
friends,
and
so
many
people
here
who
lives
representative
Garcia,
elect
basketball,
who
have
made
a
huge
impact
her
as
well.
You
can
see
how
impressive
she
is
by
the
presentation
today
to
see
why
we've
had
such
a
great
hope-
and
we
know
we
have
someone
who's
been
fighting
by
our
side
for
Chelsea.
That
was
amazing.
K
I,
better
speak
good
Italian,
but
that
was
you
know,
a
personal
story
and
impacting
all
that
and
understanding
how
fast,
but
I'm
south
of
Mexico
state
senator
for
Chelsea
I
also
represent
the
cities
of
Everett
in
between
Charlestown
fantastic
in
Cambridge.
I
grew
up
in
the
city
of
Cambridge,
I
live
in
Everett
and
the
best
part
of
the
month
of
Kelsey.
K
H
Resident
of
Chelsea
born
and
raised
and
I
am
honestly
honor
because
lack
of
a
better
work
to
be
kind
of
achievable
foreign.
H
As
most
of
us
usually
say
when
we're
from
Chelsea,
we
are
Chelsea.
What
we
want
to
see
is
Chelsea
Thrive,
as
it
should
we're
all
passionate
about
the
community
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
deal
that
represents
where
we
want
to
see
our
community.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
L
Everyone
I
just
want
to
start
off
by
saying
in
the
future.
We
can
hear
the
nickname
GG
because
he
directly
at
first.
L
L
I
think
what's
really
important
for
us.
Well,
I'm,
sorry,
my
name
is
Dan
Cortez
I'm,
a
community
agent
specialist
for
Charleston
Police
Department,
just.
L
About
the
computer
store-
and
you
know
I'd
say
this-
is
it's
very
touching?
You
know
my
friends
came.
We
came
in
yesterday
when
I
was
five
years
old
and
my
grandfather
was
a
set
of
part
of
the
breast
Federal
program
that
Google
it
was
a
government.
You
know,
guest
worker
program
that
I
don't
know
it.
It
first
started
with
my
older
aunts
and
uncles
in
Arizona,
we've
seen
dance
but
anyways
one
by
one.
We
started
coming
in
California
in
Arizona
Illinois.
L
Like
grapes
like
that
kind
of
trying
to
make
this,
it
really
touched
on
on
why
I
feel
very
blessed
and
fortunate
to
be
working
with
Chelsea
when
I
came
to
Massachusetts
early
nine
years
ago,
my
wife's
family
member
said
he
gave
me
working
much
else,
I
didn't
know
what
Chelsea
was
I
haven't
been
here.
I
thought
Massachusetts
was
just
like
Braintree
and
what
a
mistake
right
and
I
I
felt
the
purpose
here.
I
still
continue
this
purpose
here
from
hanging
out
at
Market,
Basket,
saying
hi,
everybody.
A
Yeah
good
morning
my
name
is
Rochelle.
Cromwell
again,
as
you
don't
know
me,
I
am
truly
who
would
like
to
discussing
a
story,
the
unfortunate
science
that
we
still
have
feelings,
entire
families
sleeping
on
floors
and
Chelsea.
You
know
so
that
was
a
while
ago.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
if
these
things
are
still
happening.
We
want
to
talk
about
trying
to
break
a
cycle.
It's
been
a
long
time.
You
know
I'm
really
thrilled
to
have
the
partners
that
I
work
with
I.
A
Am
the
executive
director
of
Catholic
I've
already
said
that,
but
Captain
provides
a
hold
of
these
services
that
addressed
the
means
of
the
community.
We're
talking
about
the
kind
of
school
today
in
Chelsea
Kathy
also
serves
Revere
in
Winter,
and
everybody
is
entitled
to
all
the
services
that
we
offer
in
Havoc.
So
we
have
a
a
whole
array
of
services
that
we
offer
the
entire
Community
to
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
the
needs
we
are
in
the
height
of
fuel
assistance.
We
are
in
the
height
of
of
our
energy
program.
A
We
are
serving
over
2500
people
in
that
program.
We
have
also
got
an
additional
with
the
increases
that
have
come
with
the
utilities
and
gas
and
stuff
like
that.
We
have
an
additional
350
people
signed
up.
You
know
looking
for
help
with
food
assistance.
You.
A
Level
but
like
I,
said,
I
took
this
position
in
the
Iowa
pandemic,
so
I
agree
I'm
used
to
working
at
a
crisis
level
and
we've
got
a
lot
to
do
on
no
other
way
forward.
There's
no
other
way
forward
than
to
rely
on
progressives
from
the
community.
There
is
no
one
organization
that
can
solve
all
the
issues
that
we're
facing
within
the
pandem.
A
We
are
still
stabilizing
people.
Okay,
we
talk
about
recovery.
We
are
skill,
stabilizing
families,
you
know
and
get
them
stable
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
recovery
period.
The
recovery
phase
of
what
that's
going
to
look
like
for
Chelsea
all
input
is
is,
is
definitely
welcome
on
the
recovery
of
Chelsea,
because
that's
what
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
about?
Let's
get,
let's
get
our
community
to
a
different
place,
I'm
not
going
to
take
up
too
much
stuff,
because
I
can
go
on
forever
and
I.
A
Just
want
to
thank
you
for
all
coming
out
today
and
I
want
to
thank
Mascoutah
and
you
joining
us
I'm,
so
excited
so
excited
to
ask
Amazon
Chelsea,
that's
awesome
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
camera.
Thank
you.
So.
M
Much
hi
everybody
I
am
also
so
honored
by
the
most
incredible
panel
I'm,
a
social
worker
and
I'm.
The
director
of
health
and
Chelsea
Coalition
we're
a
part
of
National
Hospital
Center
for
Community
Health
Improvement,
so
which
is
basically
like
a
public
health
arm
of
MGH.
So
every
three
years,
Community
Health
needs
assessments
are
done
in
our
communities
and
based
on
what
the
community
residents
and
people
who
work
here
feel
are
the
most
pressing
public
health
and
community
health
issues.
That's
how
we
form
our
work
plans.
We
started
12
years
ago.
M
B
K
So
at
the
state
level
we've
been
working
on,
as
was
said,
you
know
not
just
talking
about
like
action,
but
working
with
action
and
I'm
here
because
of
the
state
senator
for
Chelsea,
but
also
our
office
at
the
State.
House
is
seen
in
the
internet
problems
because
we
work
in
a
lot
of
issues
to
address
anti-popity
and
that
can
be
used,
and
always
you
can't
just
solve
one
instance.
It's
always
a
big
issue
with
one
groupology.
It
has
to
be
many
different
fronts
coming
together.
K
K
Up
until
almost
three
years
ago,
we
started
working
on
this
that
never
had
not
increased
until
the
30
minutes,
which
is
pretty
remarkable
anything
about
that
and
we
have
been
able
to
make
any
kind
of
progress,
because
any
change,
as
we
said,
takes
time.
Is
that
an
extent
and
obviously-
but
we
have
had
several
wins
in
this
country,
where
we've
increased
it
to
10
over
the
last
two
years,
but
Falcon
could
fill
this
year
to
increase
it
by
25
of
the
time.
Now
that
gets
more
cash
into
things
by
you
know,
potential
food
is
done.
K
Mental
expenses
and
not
have
to
make
as
many
tough
choices
that
they
can
today
also
Snapchat.
There
are
700
000
people
in
this
state
that
we
believe
Qualified
Staffing
and
nothing.
We
made
it
to
happen.
It's
a
federal
program,
no
cost
for
the
state,
but
individuals
don't
have
time
to
find
anything
qualified
number,
one
or
you're
afraid
of
government
offices.
K
Let's
be
aware
of
it,
and
they
don't
want
to
put
that
anyone
paper
signing
job
news
for
fear
of
that
going
somewhere
that
they
don't
want
to
go
so
they
delete
this
public
benefit
on
the
table,
which
again
is
700,
000,
plus
just
to
listen
to
the
Walmart.
So
we
have
addressed
that
by
the
way
we
decided
to
mess
up
is
a
check
box
on
that
application.
K
We
automatically
now
apply,
of
course,
so
you
don't
have
to
do
the
Double
Take
and
try
to
figure
out
the
navigating
the
snake
of
bureaucracy
and
a
lot
of
times.
You
don't
even
know,
there's
a
problem
with
two:
a
new
job
so
now
make
it
easier
where
you're
now
automatically
and
getting
enrolled.
There's
appropriately.
K
If
you
qualify
for
snap-
and
you
know,
the
simple
thing
is
when
you
work
a
job
and
immigrants
and
black
and
bottom
individuals
especially
affected
other
stuff
across
the
state
and
I'm
happy
to
see
this
community,
it's
one
of
those
things
in
the
entire
state
that
passes
in
this
with
the
city
where
waste
left
is
now.
K
It
sounds
odd
to
create
a
lot
to
pay
people
they're
underage,
but
we
have
problem
solution
to
address
this
and
there's
about
one
billion
dollars
that
that
lawyers
are
still
a
bit
more
employees
and
we
have
passed
out
as
a
senate
several
times.
K
K
So
because
of
his
thought
process
is
exactly
the
assistant
will
program.
It
was
a
cut
across
the
board
of
designation.
Now
it
was
put
on
the
state's
back
to
continue
the
program
that
they
do.
It's
unfortunately,
and
again,
budgets
are
made
of
tough
choices
in
the
value
system
of
what
we
think
is
important
to
us.
We
made
a
choice.
That's
communism
is
very
important
to
us.
So
let's
look
at
that
promoted
110
million
dollars
to
extend
it
for
a
year.
K
K
We
are
working
on
that
and
last
night
President
Biden
when
I
went
to
the
White
House
conference
on
hunger
in
nutrition.
He
was
talking
about
the
things
that
obviously
as
a
nationwide
model,
and
so
we
had
occur
by
Bob,
no
matter
if
you
do
all
these
things
tomorrow,
so
the
battle
doesn't
end.
Here
is
something.
B
B
H
It's
it's
a
little
bit
interesting.
In
my
perspective,
what
I
find
that
it's
you
know
where
we're
located,
where
it's
actually
located
on
308
Broadway,
we're
not
just
a
resource
for
the
small
businesses,
we're
a
resourcing
what's
for
the
higher
community,
so
in
all
reality,
even
what
I
cherish
the
most
as
Michelle
mentioned,
I'm
kind
of
like
a
postman,
maybe
I
guess
because
I
started
around
the
chamber
in
March
of
this
year
and
I've
seen
the
transition
and
I
really
did
with
all
the
organizations
that
a
lot
of
students.
H
And
I
think
that
the
kids
really
making
sure
that
the
small
businesses
understand
that
there's
programs
out
there
for
them,
we
opted
open
houses
at
the
chamber
when
they
can
come
in
and
we
actually
assist
with
them
filling
out
convocations
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
make
sure
that
it's
understood
the
process
is
understood
and
that's
the
same
as
well.
For
the
community
members
for
residents
of
the
city
taking
them
looking
for
Education,
they
teach
English
classes,
foreign.
H
In
different
facets,
so
what
we
find
ourselves
is
that
we
have
information
regarding
most
of
the
resources
in
the
city.
You
can
send
them
to
the
senior
center
we
Center
for
Child
Support
housing.
You
know
we
work
with
the
city
as
well,
making
sure
that
the
small
businesses
are
aware
of
the
different
programs
that
are
available
to
them.
That's
going
to
help
sustain
their
staff,
sustain
their
business
and
keep
them
open,
which,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
how
to
pick
Army
and
Chelsea.
H
B
Fantastic,
thank
you
Jen,
and
you
know
raising
the
issue
of
centralizing.
The
resources
is
really
key.
It's
something
that
Dan
has
really
jumped
quite
well
in
his
career,
so
Jim
your
perspective.
Where
do
you
see
the
police
department
getting
into
this?
Whether
it's
I
think
you
can
resources
more
accessible
or
breaking
down
some
of
the
barriers
that
you
see
between
the
police
department.
L
L
Challenges
which
is
really
saying
something,
that's
a
huge
position,
so
the
police
department
gets
a
view
in
a
positive
way
for
a
lot
of
reasons.
L
Right
guys
did
creating
this
position
for
one
and
also
saying
we're
going
to
do
the
Hub
because
we're
the
first
ones
in
the
United
States
to
do
it.
It's
a
Canadian
model.
We
have
a
lot
of
problems
in
the
city.
We
really
need
to
coordinate
our
services
and
it's
been
a
wonderful
we've
been
doing
it
for
for
seven
years
now,
so
I
think
the
the
role
of
the
police
departments
have
and.
L
L
L
That
chamber,
Property,
Owners
property
managers,
social
service
agencies
and
Special
Services
Department
of
Public
Works,
can
solved
pretty
much
led
by
Tom.
You
know
we
find
the
things
to
talk
to
to
understand
and
he
says
I
need
immediately
for
this.
I
need
a
special
services
the
next
week
when
we
get
after
this
and
I
think
that's
what
sets
us
apart
from
a
lot
of
other
communities,
is
that
we
have
three
weekly
meetings
or
issues
are
presented.
Teams
are
developed,
who's
going
to
obviously
update
each
other.
That
doesn't
give
you
an
opportunity
to
say
yeah.
L
I
can
do
that
and
then
three
months
later,
I
never
got
around
here,
because
you
know
that
the
next
week
you
have
to
say
what
you
did
so
I,
think
that's
an
important
thing
that
a
police
department
does
we
get
viewed
as
an
objective
for
us
right,
A
lot
of
times.
Non-Profits,
sometimes
you
know,
sometimes
compete
with
each
other
and
things
like
that.
That's
just
natural
that
happens
in
every
community
in
every
state.
In
the
country,
the
police
department
is
unique.
L
B
Agencies
deliver
Services
what
types
of
policies
and
services
that
you
should
be
delivering
and
Rochelle's
really
been
on
the
front
line
of
this
thinking
through
how
we
can
innovatively
connect
the
presidents
with
Services,
particularly
involving
the
residents
that
don't
have
access
to
rental
assistance,
food
assistance
or
job
training.
So
Rochelle
your
perspective.
What
are
your
continual
is
from
this
report
and
what
will
you
be
focusing
on
over
the
next
year.
A
We
are
always
focused
on
making
sure
that
all
the
needs
of
that
in
the
community,
so
that,
with
that
said,
if
we're
not
providing
the
service
that
happened
I'm
going
to
pop
into
somebody
else's
going
to
provide
services
so
that
we
can
take
care
of
these
issues
that
we're
dealing
in
a
linear.
Now
we
are
all
having
this
100
on
board.
We've
been
on
board
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
We've
been
on
board
throughout
the
whole
entire
process,
and
we
are
carrying
our
way,
and
this
we
have
different
people
coming
to
the
table.
A
A
A
A
A
Things
get
done,
it's
like
you,
get
everybody
going
forward
and
you
can
have
the
solutions
that
you
need,
because
you've
got
all
the
resources
at
the
table
for
individual
candidates.
You
know,
and
as
far
as
the
the
inequities
that
we
have
faced-
that's
that's
bothersome,
that's
extremely
bothersome!
You
know
what
I'm
saying.
So
we
have
to
deal
with
those
inequities
on
different
levels.
A
We
have
to
deal
with
those
inequities
where
they
have
started
right
on
the
truck,
so
we
need
to
make
stop
making
policy
changes
at
the
department
and
trickle
down
into
the
different
agencies
and
service
agencies
that
that
we
are
all
very
familiar
with
Lewis
and
we
need
to
stop
making
internal
changes
on
those
levels
to
really
to
really
deal
with
this
I
mean
we
could
have
conversations
about
how
we
interact.
You
know
we
get
conversations
about
acceptance,
but
the
real
issues
were
the
policies
that
remain
that
continue
trust.
A
So
we
have
to
get
people
on
board
so
that
we
can
deal
with
those
issues
as
well
because
in
every
example
can
be
faced
throughout
the
pandemic.
The
inequities
that
we
faced
before.
Thank
you.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
the
house
in
crisis:
five
families
one
pound:
how
much
were
we
going
to
control
the
spread
of
covid-19?
We
had
nothing,
we
had
no
choice
and
we
still
our
choices
are
limited.
We
have
a.
A
A
A
But
we
have
what
we
need
to
move
ourselves
forward
and
I'm
thrilled
to
be
a
part
of
these.
This
community
and
the
agencies
that
are
providing
service
in
this
community
because
I
know
I,
can
study
careless
organization
really
want
I
know
we
have
a
family
really
close,
we
need
courage
and
we
need
parental
assistance.
Five
stops,
oh,
we
got
what
we
do.
We.
A
B
Thank
you
Michelle,
so
that
social
infrastructure
that
Rochelle
mentioned
really
is
unique
to
Chelsea,
and
a
lot
of
kids
were
centered
around.
How
do
we
would
create
a
mental
health
infrastructure
that
we
know
different
than
having
running
water
or
access
to
health
care,
and
so
generally,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
Chelsea
and
how
that
pertains
still
quality
and
access
to
Mental,
Health,
Care,
Services
Professor.
M
Yeah
I
think
something
that's
better
than
that.
Before
are
the
long-standing
consequences
of
policies
made
50
years
ago
that
are
still
affecting
us
today
in
the
middle
of
Tomorrow.
Something
we
talk.
A
lot
about
at
Coalition
work
is
how
your
the
social
determinants
of
Health
that
your
ZIP
code
is
much
more
predictive
of
your
overall
housing
and
family's
health
and
your
genetic
code
and
I
think
looking
at
the
list
up
there.
As
you
can
see,
there's
so
many,
and
so
we
have
many
crises.
M
Another
saying
that
we
we
stole
from
somebody
is
that
rent
eats
first,
so
housing
team's
priority
and
that
takes
away
food
and
where
so,
that
we
have
wrong
fishermen,
Gathering
the
emergency
food
providers
each
week
to
collaborate
and
talk
and
problem
solve
and
work
together,
so
that
services
are
not
duplicated
and
when
we,
when
the
pandemic
hit
again,
these
were
issues
that
were
really
plaguing
Chelsea
before
the
pandemic,
which
just
completely
exacerbated
during
the
difficult
work
which
really
affected
people's
mental
health.
M
When
you're,
when
you
are
isolated
and
sick
and
worried
about
your
family
and
losing
your
job
and
worried
about
not
being
able
to
pay
for
housing
and
the
great
student
security
that
we
still
are
dealing
with,
you
know
people's
stress
levels
and
anxiety
and
the
isolation
that
people
were
feeling
was
just
incredible.
So
we
also
gather
a
couple
of
times
a
month
on
Mental
Health
Providers
of
our
community,
to
figure
out
how
we
can
all
again
work
together
to
Not
Duplicate.
What
are
the
gaps
and
services?
M
Similar
stories
and
many
of
our
mental
health
agencies,
so
how
can
we
work
together
to
provide
less
clinical
or
non-clinical
strategies
to
reduce
people's
anxiety
and
stress
levels
and
help
them
be
able
to
meet
their
basic
needs
so
we're?
You
know
we're
looking
to
replicate
Services
of
like
a
Family
Resource
Center,
their
services
are
One-Stop
shop
and
we
and
we
know
that
people
can
instead
of
stopping
at
five
places.
M
So
can
we
hire
which
we
hope
to
do
additional,
which
is
already
a
model
in
Chelsea
that
we
have
these
wonderful,
Street
Navigators?
We
have
amazing
examples
of
case
management
all
over,
but
it
seems
you
know,
there's
never
enough
of
that,
and
how
can
we
help
families
navigate
these
Services
by
hiring
some
intensive
caseworkers?
B
Excellent,
thank
you
Jen.
So
I
watched
it.
Here's
for
a
second
from
the
local
work,
that's
ongoing
number
of
State
policy,
and
you
know.
Luckily,
we
have
Senator
Dean
and
go
with
us
as
well
as
representative
Garcia
they'll
open
this
up
to
all
the
panelists.
So
what
is
one
or
two
of
your
major
State
policy
values
in
2023?
And
what
do
we
have
to
do
to
get
there.
L
There
is
one
thing:
it's
it's:
it's
not
really
a
Statewide
policy,
but
there
are
19
pups,
Massachusetts
and
we've
trained
cat
Bachelor
myself,
training,
training
officers,
Richard
Davis
from
from
all
the
way
up,
North
Adams
to
to
Medford
to
I,
treat
Quincy
to
now.
There's
a
lot
of
Mass
Effect.
L
L
Really
had
effective,
just
in
a
short
time
of
getting
together,
there
are
about
a
dozen
outside
of
the
state
that
we've
also
trained
so
I
think
I
think
in
terms
of
policy
side.
So
it's
not
really
a
policy
I
think
it's
just
a
movement
you're
saying
the
models
here
at
the
view
that
they
can
be
replicated
and
I
think.
The
reason
why
that's
possible
is
because
we
have
well
first
off
we're
too
smart
right
and
we
are
sort
of
like
an
incubator
of
ideas.
So
somebody
says:
hey
I've
got
an
idea.
L
L
And
that
led
to
this
big
movement.
So
when
you
see
all
those
big
flower
boxes
on
Broadway,
that's
because
one
resident
had
an
idea
and
it
wasn't
for
work
right
and
that's
I
think
it
was
needed
really
heavy,
but
there
are
communities
all
over.
The
country
have
great
people.
We
have
great
programs,
you
have
great
organizations
that
they
don't
get
together
anymore.
The
only
thing
you
know
to
go
back
I
mean
people's
people
that
we're
dealing
with
the
people
that
we're
talking
about.
L
They
all
have
a
wife
and
puzzles,
and
those
puzzles
often
fall
to
the
ground.
And
when
that
happens,
the
pieces
and
they're
expected
to
put
them
all
back
together
by
themselves
and
what
we
do
is
we
try
to
do
it
all
together,
just
like
when
there's
a
huge
accent
before
the
first
response.
Could
everybody
jumps
rolls
up
your
sleeve
do
whatever
they
can
about
it's
a
fire
or
whatever?
L
And
then,
and
then
you
know
when
the
situation
is,
is
settled
and
calm
every
Commons
restore
they
go
back
to
their
houses,
they
go
back
to
there
and
you
know
for
for
an
hour.
They
were
talking
to
each
other
and
they
were
working
and
just
you
know,
this
is
terrible
what
happened,
but
this
is
great
where
we're
going
and
then,
when
the
incident's
over
they
go
back
and
they
won't
do
it
again.
What
we
do
in
Chelsea
is
every
week
three
situations
there
was
two
that
have
so
you
developed
relationships.
L
A
They
just
add
to
that.
Alice
I,
think
that
on
policies
that
have
been
changed
on
a
Statewide
level
is
definitely
that
would
benefit
folks
here
in
housing
is
to
talk
about
the
changes
that
need
to
be
made
in
immigration
status
in
the
the
resources
you
know,
because
I
mean
we
want
to
serve
everybody.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
there
are
policy.
There
are
restrictions
in
our
funding
sources
that
we
can't
survey
and
we
know
that
to
be
of
immigrants
is
high
here,
because
you
know
so.
A
We
need
to
look
at
the
policies
continue
to
do
immigration
status
and
the
resources
and
the
funding
that
we
can
use
towards
them
and
resources
and
funding
that
we
can
use
to
provide
services.
Today,
I
mean
we
can
use
other
funding,
but
policies
in
general,
foreign.
M
Especially
since
the
the
pandemic,
the
Chelsea
each
program
like
Judith,
talked
about
earlier
and
having
this
Universal
income
based
program
I
think,
is
effective
and
we've
seen,
as
the
reports
come
out
from
the
Harvard
study,
that
people
really
benefited
immensely
from
those
programs
and
and
helped
a
bit
to
keep
people
out
of
poverty.
M
So
I'm
so
excited
that
that
program
back
and
I'm
so
excited
to
be
a
part
of
a
community
where
there's
Progressive
policies
I
just
wish
at
a
state
level.
At
a
national
level,
those
kinds
of
things
might
be
able
to
get
a
foothold.
K
K
K
K
K
This
way,
because
someone
loses
it,
but
across
the
board
in
our
state,
it
has
become
unaffordable
for
a
loan,
some
artists
to
the
kids
in
child
care,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
chapter
75
as
a
state
as
I
started
kindergarten-
that's
three
years
old,
so
we
get
reimbursed
for
preschool
if
you
would
any
other
grade
system,
that
is
only
we're
going
to
fix
the
system,
but
before
now
we
have
providers
in
our
communities.
So
it's
a
mixed
model
system.
K
Public
schools
have
preschool,
you
have
providers
in
the
community,
I
know
educational
care
programs
and
this,
unfortunately,
most
of
those
providers
are
minority
home
businesses,
women-owned
businesses
that
can't
afford
to
pay
their
own
health
and
if
they
do,
they
can't
get
them
raises
over
time
cost
of
living
increase
in
inflation
increases.
They
can't
keep
up
with
that
so
many
times
those
employees
leave
the
system
and
go
from
somewhere
else,
which
creates
a
consistency
across
the
board,
so
you've
lost
employees,
which
is
great
we're
going
to
talk.
K
K
The
problem
development
of
education,
elevations
and
education
and
I
have
models
in
that
diet,
surprise,
surprise
with
their
funding
model
and
how
they
find
out
Public
Schools
as
well
Chelsea
in
every
particular.
We
choose
a
model
that
we
just
change
the
model
to
use
that
this
unfortunately
hit
our
human
communities.
K
That's
right,
so
we
have
been
able
to
work
with
our
colleagues
with
that
students,
which
is
the
biggest
education
policy.
The
chain
of
legislation,
kind
of
generations,
which
fixes
some
of
the
equities
that
we've
had
in
agriculture,
communities
and
Chelsea
and
Everett
were
big
winners
in
that
with
the
funding
that
has
gone
through
coming
over
time.
Sustainable
increases
count
on
real
numbers,
not
just
I'm
working
on
the
edges,
but
real
chunks
of
money
coming
to
our
schools.
K
And
lastly,
you
know
we
have,
as
was
mentioned
in
housing,
is,
is
a
very,
very
big
issue
between
Chelsea
right
to
count
which
is
available
in
the
Bible.
The
last
couple
of
sessions
we
are
looking
for.
Both
they've
done
this
session,
it's
a
kind
of
trending.
We
cast
a
lot
of
bills
in
the
Senate,
but
that's
a
lot
of
things
that
happened
tonight
that
are
that
are
going
to
help
a
lot
of
people.
That's
right,
many
sentence
a
lot
and
some
are
just.
K
We
see
some
real
movement
in
this
area.
We
all
know
that
a
lot
of
our
friends
and
if
we
get
calls
them
in
our
office,
for
example,
who's
knocked
on
the
door
and
saying
you
can
make
it
tomorrow
and
they
don't
want
to
have
any
vehicles
and
many
afraid
to
take
on
the
system.
Many
are
free
to
go
to
court.
Many
are
afraid
to
just
speak
up
and
they
walk
out
the
door
which
creates
a
more
unstable
housing
issue
when
activities
and
they're
moving
in
with
their
friends
and
family.
K
That
Michelle
said
if
Elizabeth
not
sustainable,
write
the
council
will
allow
them
for
representation.
80
percent
of
the
landlord
is
going
to
cooperative
six
percent
potential,
that
the
spirit
isn't
working
and
we
all
know
so.
There
are
real
policy
changes
that
we're
working
on
to
stay
alive
with
that
will
help
a
lot
of
folks,
but
we
wanted
to
work
again
is
this
is
the
approaching
approach
where
it
has
many
different
legislations
that
we
can
have
a
problem
now
I'm
here
today.
K
K
K
The
speaker
and
the
senate
in
particular
I
know
because
I
can
tell
you
the
negative
and
outside
horses
they
will
respond.
So
a
lot
of
these
issues
that
I'm
talking
about.
We
were
working
with
the
inside
game,
but
we
need
the
outside
forces
as
well
a
lot
of
these
bills
that
that
passed
I'm
talking
about
in
the
past,
because
we
put
them
up
into
the
floor
because
a
few
folks
said
it's
time
to
pass.
Bills
came
to
the
state
house
and
you
won't.
K
K
You
know
these
bills
are
really
important
for
a
lot
of
people.
You
know,
and
then
we
talk
about
action
about
those
words.
We
really
need
to
put
all
these
bills
into
to
walk.
If
we
can
do
this
in
a
little
slowly
and
in
some
cases
in
a
more
faster
version.
K
Because
a
lot
of
these
girls
take
six
seven
years,
sometimes
eight
years
to
pass,
and
now
you
want
the
whole
group
of
people
who
are
struggling
with
that
time
period.
I
was
going
to
talk
about
it,
it's
great
to
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
fix
the
problem,
but
again
actions,
no
I
mean
I
got
captions
and
the
night
between
Alaska,
but
they
don't
want
that.
K
K
With
us,
and
actually
put
that
as
a
prayer
ask
them,
what
are
we
going
to
do
and
then
follow
up
with
them
and
make
sure
they
did
it?
Because
support
means
nothing.
We
support
a
lot
of
videos,
so
I
might
ask
all
of
you
is
you
have
me
already
so,
but
I'll
be
comfortable
too,
but
we
have
friends
in
other
communities
that
can
call
legislators
and
can
talk
to
people
and
write
in
simple.
You
know
you
get
three
or
more
emails
on
issue.
We
pay
attention,
that's
not
the
norm,
that's
okay!
K
B
A
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
out
today
and
I
want
to
share
a
story.
I
want
someone
to
share
the
story
about
their
birthday
and
I'm,
going
to
call
Stacy
up
to
see
your
story.
G
G
Hi
good
morning,
my
name
is
Stacy
Smith
and
I'm.
42
years
old
and
I
live
here
in
Chelsea
lifestyle
resume
I
come
before
you
all
this
morning.
To
give
you
all
a
firsthand
experience
of
how
these
local
organizations
are
helping
our
community
grow
and
are
helping
folks
who
are
really
in
need
get
their
needs
met
almost
immediately.
D
G
G
I
personally
have
been
able
to
successfully
enroll
two
adult
meals
into
the
Chelsea
Commons,
which
is
formerly
the
Chelsea
YMCA.
These
men
were
sleeping
in
cars,
trucks
and
many
inhabitable
places.
They
have
no
place
to
call
home
for
years,
they
felt
hopeless
and
they
had
no
resources
to
exhaust
which
made
it
life
extremely
difficult
for
them.
G
Sometimes
even
going
to
one
of
the
men
who
told
me
that
going
to
jail
was
an
option
because
at
least
he
had
three
Hots
in
the
pot.
That
was
the
term
that
was
used
once
they
were
connected
with
Deanna
Michelle
Teresa
and
the
other
names
I
mentioned
earlier.
They
were
greeted
with
open
arms.
These
men
were
giving
hope
and
they
were
again
even
a
sense
of
normalcy,
provided
with
a
hotel
room
for
a
short
stay
and
treated
very
well.
G
They
were
able
to
take
a
hot
shower,
lay
in
a
bed,
watch
TV
or
make
a
meal.
These
are
just
some
of
those
small
things.
Some
of
us
take
for
granted.
After
a
short
stay
at
the
hotel,
they
were
providing
an
SRO,
which
is
you
don't
know
it's
a
single
room
occupancy
which
they
signed.
A
lease
and
then
will
be
income
made.
These
men
have
close
access
to
the
MBTA
doctors,
Library,
City,
Hall
and
other
resources
that
are
in
the
downtown
area.
G
This
is
very
empowering
for
these
men,
especially
when
they
were
at
such
a
low
point
in
life.
They
have
been
given
their
feedback
from
Humanity.
Thanks
to
these
organizations
that
appear
in
Chelsea
Massachusetts.
Now
the
organizations
also
work
very
well
together,
which
everybody
has
said
earlier
and
I
can
definitely
attest
to
that.
G
It
was
like
if
one
person
didn't
have
the
resource
they
referred
and
it
was
such
I
mean
I
can
text
these
folks.
That
I
mean
at
10
o'clock
at
night
and
they
were
responding
because
the
urgency
is
there
and
then
this
is
something
that
is
very
needed
in
our
community.
Our
communities
face
many
hardships
prior
to
the
pandemic
post-pandemic,
and
we
have
a
lot
to
overcome.
G
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
help
my
community
grow
and
get
real
issues
addressed
and
as
one
body
we
can
do
more
so
working
together
and
networking
with
everybody
else
has
been
brilliant,
honor
and
I'm.
Somebody
who
is
like
who's
on
the
ground,
if
you
want
to
say
so,
people
in
our
community,
feel
comfortable
expressing
these
things
to
me
and
hoping
that
more
folks,
like
myself,
will
get
out
there
and
get
these
people
more
self-sufficient
and
off
the
street.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
C
A
Everybody's
needs
are
being
met,
you
know,
and
I
will
say
that
it's
been
an
honor
to
have
mass
hat,
come
to
Chelsea
and
see
how
we
do
things
here,
great
collaboration
that
we
have
here
and
the
work
that
we
do
here
and
we
continue
this
work
with
your
help.
We
continue
this
work
with
the
resources
that
you
bring
to
the
table
so
I've.
