C
We're
during
national
hispanic
heritage
month
september,
15
to
october
15th,
the
chelsea
city
council
recognizes
the
contributions
made
and
the
important
presence
of
hispanic
and
latino
americans
to
the
united
states
and
celebrates
their
heritage
and
culture.
And
whereas
hispanics
have
had
a
profound
and
positive
influence
on
our
country.
Through
their
strong
commitment
to
family
faith,
hard
work
and
service.
They
have
enhanced
and
shaped
our
national
character,
with
centuries-old
traditions
that
reflect
the
multi-ethnic
and
multicultural
customs
of
their
community.
C
And
whereas
there
are
more
than
four
million
seven
hundred
thousand
hispanic-owned
firms
in
the
united
states,
supporting
millions
of
employees
nationwide
and
contributing
more
than
600
trillion
in
revenue
to
the
economy
of
the
united
states.
And
whereas
an
estimated
200
000
hispanics
were
mobilized
for
world
war.
C
The
only
active
duty,
segregated
latino
military
unit
in
the
united
states,
history
and
whereas
hispanic
americans
are
dedicated
public
servants
holding
posts
at
the
highest
levels
of
the
government
of
the
united
states.
Now,
therefore,
being
resolved
that
the
chelsea
city
council
does
hereby
support
september,
15th
to
october
15
2019
as
hispanic
heritage
month
and
encourages
participation
in
this
special
annual
tribute
by
learning
and
celebrating
the
generations
of
hispanic
americans
who
have
positively
influenced
and
enriched
our
nation
and
society.
C
L
H
H
If
it
was
not
for
the
pandemic,
I'm
sure
we'd
be
out
celebrating
a
lot
of
cultural
events
celebrating
some
of
the
highlight
events,
but
due
to
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
we've
been
cut
off
on
a
lot
of
things,
but
it's
just
so
important
to
continue
to
recognize
the
importance
of
this
hispanic
month,
because
this
is
where
we
recognize
the
work
that
it's
been
paved
by
some
of
the
hispanic
community
throughout
our
nation
to
make
this
world
better
and
just
well
what
it
is
today.
So
we
thank
you
for
your
culture.
H
M
This
is
a
a
great
thing
for
the
latino
community.
Then
they've
been
here
for
so
long
and
they've,
been
they
suffered
a
lot
themselves
and
to
recognize
them
is
a
great
thing.
I
think
they
deserve
to
be
recognized
even
more
than
they
are.
They
should,
without
all
the
contribution
of
all
the
latinos.
This
country
would
be
a
poorer
country,
it's
a
better
country
with
them
here
and
with
them
being
here,
and
they
enrich
our
culture,
like
all
the
cultures
that
are
here.
Thank
you.
I
C
Resolution
introduced
by
council
as
abbott
and
all
members
of
the
chelsea
city
council,
whereas
beginning
at
sundown
on
september,
18
2020,
the
jewish
people
celebrate
rosh
hashanah
the
new
year
5781
and
whereas
jews
have
been
a
part
of
the
america
fabric.
Since
1654
by
1890,
there
were
82
jews
in
chelsea.
C
In
1910,
there
were
11
000,
jews
or
one-third
of
the
total
population
and
by
the
1930s.
The
jewish
community
constituted
almost
one
half
of
the
city's
population
and
whereas
in
1915
future
justice
of
the
united
states
supreme
court,
louis
d
brandeis
addressed
the
jews
of
chelsea,
stating
that
chelsea
jews
constitute
a
larger
percentage
of
the
population
than
in
any
other
city
of
the
united
states.
C
D
Thank
you,
mr
president.
So
on
friday
night,
as
we
were
beginning
our
rosh
hashanah,
our
our
new
year,
we
heard
the
announcement
that
ruth
vader
ginsburg
had
passed
away,
and
so
I
would
like
to
dedicate
this
resolution
in
her
memory
and
all
that
she
stood
for
and
lashana
tova
happy
new
year
to
you
all.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
mr
president,
again
I
just
want
to
congratulate
as
we
celebrate
this
russell
shawna
holy
week
again.
The
resolution
speaks
for
itself
because
of
the
coronavirus
and
the
pandemic.
A
lot
of
these
things,
just
highly
celebrated,
are
really
being
dampered
with
because
folks
are
not
going
out
and
participating,
but
I
again
want
to
thank
my
colleague
for
bringing
in
and
making
sure
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
it
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
None
we'll
now
move
on
to
our
public
speaking
portion
of
the
meeting
at
this
time.
I
ask
that
if
any
counselors,
I'm
sorry
if
any
members
of
the
public
would
like
to
speak
to
please
on
any
business
on
tonight's
agenda
or
any
other
issue
to
approach
the
microphone,
please
state
your
name,
your
address
and
the
reason
for
your.
Oh,
I'm,
sorry
and
limit
yourself
to
the
four
minutes.
I
will
be
holding
it
to
a
four
minute
heart
count
tonight.
Thank
you.
N
N
I
love
this
city
so
much
and
because
of
the
diversity
of
the
city,
I
mean
it
it.
It
is
where
I
belong.
I
mean
the
the
diversity
and
inclusion
in
the
city
are
are
amazing.
I
mean
there's
the
the
ethnic
and
racial
diversity
and
the
spiritual
diversity
and
the
so
I'm
I'm
here
to
support
id
number
21
for
our
f4c.
N
O
O
O
I
can't
breathe
until
black
lives
matter
and
it's
just
time
for
the
city
of
chelsea,
this
all-american
city,
that
it
was
voted
to
be
the
first
to
take,
reigns
in
lead
in
making
this
diversity
happen.
This
is
a
very
diverse
city
and
I
just
think
that
our
voices
need
to
be
heard
and,
like
I
said,
it's
just
been
a
long
time
coming,
but
a
change
is
going
to
come
and
it's
gonna
come
today.
O
O
P
P
Through
your
experience
and
dedication,
you
enrich
our
lives.
We
remain
hopeful
that
you
continue
to
recognize
your
core
responsibilities,
promoting
interest
and
welfare
of
the
public
that
you
serve
where
all
can
live,
authentically
and
truth,
so
we
have
gathered
again
not
to
regurgitate.
As
I
said
what
transpired
last
week,
I
began
my
appeal
by
being
mindful
that
votes
should
not
be
cast
in
a
vacuum;
rather
they
should
be
waged
by
history.
P
P
And
citizens
of
this
city,
when
you
call
gladius
in
this
city,
she
epitomizes
justice
and
their
freedom,
you
are
young
and
innocent.
You
have
not
been
corrupted
and
sure
you
have
mind
issues
to
feel.
As
you
begin
your
own
personal
journey
as
a
public
servant,
people
often
ask
bill
gates
dad
who,
amongst
you,
is
the
real
guest
in
your
own
case,
melinda
or
gladys.
P
P
I
may
be
wrong,
but
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
what
one
recalled
bishop
he
was
a
physical
hawk
with
battle-tested
scars
to
remind
us,
never
never
ever
turn
back
and
return
to
the
old
ways
that
led
to
the
financial
impropriety
of
the
past.
When
the
border
of
elder
men
felt
willfully
to
make
judicious
use
of
their
powers
that
people
entrusted
upon
them.
P
I
personally
took
one
week
of
follow
from
umass
law,
cabinets
officials
who
make
more
money,
take
ten
days
and
seven
five
days
to
balance
the
budget,
and
you
must
slow
up
until
today,
they're
still
retrenching
people,
because
students
are
told
to
stay
at
home.
It's
only
25
percent.
I
just
drove
from
there
coming
in
here.
P
We
want
to
see
the
foresight
and
leadership
from
this
council
to
go
after
what
our
people
call
secret
cars
untouchables,
those
unions.
Last
week
I
said
they
are
immovables
but
lopez.
You
belong
to
sdiu
and
they
say
quality
leadership.
I
belong
to
unions,
too
unions
move
they
negotiated.
They
know
there
is
no
money.
Everybody
has
to
balance.
The
city
of
the
new
york
is
balancing
now
take
it.
P
We
are
yet
to
see
moratorium
on
expenses
in
the
city
government
beyond
beyond
certain
limits
where
all
promotions
raises
redundant,
recruitment
should
have
been
placed
on
hold
onto
foreign
notice,
no
follows
or
offers
of
early
retirements,
yet
no
consolidation
of
duties
and
tax
in
the
city
government.
That
is
how
we
save
money
to
pay
for
priorities,
because
I
have
30
seconds.
P
I
want
to
go
to
the
essence
of
today,
two
paragraphs,
only
small,
true
diversity,
you
usher
in
a
new
opportunity
for
the
young
and
old
men
and
women,
everybody
and
people
of
disability
veterans,
members
of
the
lgbt
community
to
work
and
elicit
maximum
productivity
from
them.
That
is
what
diversity
means
through
inclusion,
you
create
a
culture
where
everyone
embraces
each
other,
where
collegiate
atmosphere
reigns
supreme
and
workers
cherish
decency
and
they
frown
at
sexual
harassment
and
discriminatory
policies
in
a
workplace.
Those
are
the
definitions
of
diversity
and
inclusion.
R
Hi
good
evening,
my
name
is
stacy
smith
and
I
reside
at
62
grocery
here
in
chelsea.
I
just
have
a
short
comment
to
add
that
we
should
all
feel
comfortable
and
equal
in
our
community.
You
have
all
sat
here
for
the
last
two
weeks
in
a
row
and
listened
to
us.
Tell
our
private
stories
telling
you
what
only
our
families
and
our
closest
friends
know
about
our
experiences
with
racism.
Here
in
chelsea,
there
are
actually
generations
of
families
in
this
room
and
you've
also
listened
to
generations
of
families.
R
Speaking
about
their
dealings
with
racism
here
in
chelsea,
generations
of
families
should
speak
volumes
for
itself
on
what
is
really
going
on
in
chelsea
mass
and
what
has
been
going
on
for
decades.
Our
hope
is
that
you
all
will
vote
unanimously
on
this
resolution
and
grant
us
the
office
of
diversity
and
inclusion
for
the
community.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
The
stories
that
I
heard
stacey
your
story
honestly
really
touched
my
heart
last
week.
I
just
want
to
say
that
being
part
of
this
community
and
living
at
131
orange
street
and
living
in
this
community
for
over
for
almost
50
years,
I
think
that
our
city
council
just
shows
how
far
we've
come
because
of
the
diversity
that
we
have
on
this
council
right
now.
Q
Q
I
honestly
feel
you
know
in
my
lifetime.
I
personally
have
not
experienced
any
type
of
racism,
I'm
going
to
be
completely
honest
with
you,
but
I
know
plenty
of
people
that
have
my
daughter
included.
I've
raised
my
daughter
in
this
city.
I've
never
left.
I
have
a
lot
of
people
that
I
know
that
have
left.
I
don't
plan
on
leaving.
I
have
my
23
year
old
daughter
that
I've
raised
here
and
I
have
an
11
year
old
daughter
that
does
not
want
to
leave
chelsea.
We
love
our
community.
Q
We
love
what's
been
done
to
our
community.
I
think
that
we
honestly
have
come
a
long
way.
I
do
think
there
is
a
long
way
for
us
to
go,
but
just
every
single
person
on
this
city
council
just
goes
to
prove
how
far
we've
come,
and
I
think
that
if
this
vote
isn't
a
unanimous
vote,
it's
honestly
a
little
bit
disappointing
because
it
just
makes
me
wonder,
and
it
has
some
concern
because
I
think
again,
this
affects
all
of
us.
This
isn't
just
a
racial
thing.
Q
Q
You
know
I
don't
have
an
individual
story
to
share.
I
don't
know
if
my
daughter
wants
to
come
up
and
share
anything,
as
I
said
being
almost
50
me
personally,
no,
but
my
daughter
at
23.
I
never
thought
she
was
going
to
experience
what
she
experienced
and
it
wasn't
in
chelsea.
So
it's
not
just
isolated
to
chelsea,
and
I
really
feel
strongly
that
you
know
as
a
community
tom.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
for
our
community,
because
at
one
point
in
time
we
couldn't
walk
down
the
city.
Q
I
couldn't
walk
down
through
the
square
and
now
I
can
there's
a
big
difference
and
you
can
see
it.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
buildings
in
one
north,
I'm
going
to
be
honest
with
you
and,
if
they're
afraid,
to
come
out
of
the
building,
shame
on
them
and
that's
their
loss.
But
I'll
tell
you.
I
walk
my
dog
through
there
every
day.
I
smile,
I
say
hello
to
everyone
so
that
they
know
that
we're
not
all
you
know
delinquent
or
we're.
Q
Q

amazing,
and
it's
important
for
us
to
remember
the
words
of
dr
martin
luther
king
that
he
shared
over
50
years
ago,
and
I
share
with
you
tonight,
and
I
have
been
doing
this
for
a
while,
because
in
the
midst
of
this
covet
and
the
uprising
and
the
economy
we
as
a
beloved
community,
we
need
to
remember
people
fail
to
get
along
because
they
fear
each
other.
S
They
fear
each
other
because
they
don't
know
each
other,
they
don't
know
each
other
because
they
have
not
communicated
with
each
other.
So
during
this
covet
and
this
pandemic
and
the
racial
injustice
all
around
the
nation
and
the
beloved
community
as
a
society
of
justice
and
equal
opportunity
and
love
of
one
another
as
fellow
human
beings,
the
beloved
community
that
dr
king
says,
the
vision
is
which
all
people
can
share
the
in
the
wealth
of
the
earth.
S
S
We
are
each
other's
brothers
and
sisters,
and
so
for
everything
that
has
been
shared
the
last
week
and
to
now
these
testimonies
I
reminded
of
someone
when
all
of
this
broke
out,
and
they
said
when
the
blacks
are
free,
everyone
else
will
be
free,
it
is
the
love
of
god
working
in
the
lives
of
men
and
women.
This
is
a
love
that
will
may
well
be
the
salvation
of
our
civilization.
S
S
We
are
one
in
chelsea:
we
acknowledge
the
systemic
nature
of
racism,
poverty,
social
and
economic
injustices,
and
do
it
primarily
by
those
of
color
in
our
society,
as
well
as
those
who
have
fallen
victim
to
brutality
or
missing
treatment.
But
we
also
urge
that
those
who
desperately
seek
change
and
transformation
do
so
by
peaceful
means.
S
We
see
you,
we
love
you,
we
stand
with
you
and,
as
we
have
come
together
in
covet
19
and
this
injustice
and
all
of
the
rise
and
stand
together
as
a
great
city,
we
are
and
have
proven
ourselves
to
be
coveted.
19
was
a
backdrop
that
brought
us
together
as
a
city,
and
now
we
have
another
opportunity
to
use
what
we've
learned
in
the
pandemic
and
apply
it
to
this
current
national
crisis.
S
We
commit
to
uphold
the
rights,
values
and
respects
of
all
members
of
the
beloved
community.
Together,
we
are
thankful
for
the
city
of
chelsea,
where
residents
born
and
immigrated
here
have
long
stood
as
a
shining
example
of
tolerance
and
civility
amidst
much
economic
and
racial
diversity.
So
we
dedicate
ourselves
to
continued
understanding
and
sensitivity
to
racial
dynamics
in
our
nation
and
community.
Acknowledging
the
many
biases
we
all
are
burdened
with.
S
We
commit
as
a
community
of
faith
and
civic
leaders
to
find
opportunities
for
self-reflection
and
a
collective
dialogue
to
listen
openly
to
one
another,
even
those
who
may
not
share
our
humanitarian
views,
our
call
to
action
gathered
to
listen
respond.
It
was
said
last
week
grieve
and
mourn
the
needs
of
those
who
feel
they
are
voiceless
in
our
city
and
create
a
plan
of
action.
So
in
conclusion,
we
do
pray
for
continued
strengthening
of
the
bonds
of
fellowship
for
the
whole
city.
We
pray.
S
This
air
of
discord
will
be
that
we
will
be
the
instruments
of
our
creator
in
the
process
of
change
and
healing
for
our
city
and
nation
in
these
times.
So
as
it
was
signed
and
agreed,
let
us
know
that
the
persons
who
all
signed
this
they
did
say
please
not
let
this
be
a
piece
of
paper.
Lord
is
the
action.
Let
us
know
we
had
27
signers,
but
we
could
have
had
more,
and
these
were
our
leaders.
So,
yes,
we
pray
tonight
that
your
vote
is
a
unanimous
vote.

Good
evening
my
name
is
joan

I
live
at

addison

chelsea,
I'm
also
president
of
chelsea
black
community,
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
thank
you,
but
also
not
to
regurgitate
what
one
of
the
stories
from
last
week,
but
I
felt
like
there
was
one
in
particular
that
I
wanted
to
share
and
there's
a
reason
why
the
one
that
I
wanted
to
share
was
a
story
shared
on
the
chelsea
young,
adult
alliance
ratio
experience.
U
She
stated,
while
alone
with
her
teacher,
for
what
seemed
like
an
eternity.
She
was
scornfully
foretold,
how
she
would
never
never
have
any
be
anything
in
life
and
will
never
have
any
friends.
No
one
will
like
you
that
little
girl
went
home,
never
told
this
painful
encounter
to
anyone
in
particular
her
boots
on

mother,
who
would
have
fought
all
the
way
to
the
supreme
court
for
any
child
who
had
been
diminished
in
this
manner.
U
U
U
Community
community
is
really
the
first
taste
or
feel
we
experience
outside
of
our
haven
or
hell
called
home.
I
am
fortunate
that
this
community
was
my
first
guide
to
brotherly
love
and
adds
immensely
to
who
I
am
as
a
person.
Today
we
are
certainly
we
certainly
have
some
work
to
do
and
I
am
confident
we
are
up
to
the
task
by
respectfully
working
together
as
a
whole
community.

Okay,
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
what
was
going
to
happen
if
I'm
going
to
go
bankrupt,
because
I
took
all
my
savings
and
purchased
this
little
restaurant
that
I
wanted.
It
was
the
heart
of
chelsea.
I
am
puerto

I
love
serving.
The

Diversity
is
the
foundation
that
makes
the
community
okay
and
I
love
this
town.
I
came
back
here
and
I
live
with
my
mom
and
I
support
the
causes,
and
I
know
the
city
of
chelsea
will
do
the
right
thing,
but
let
me
start
off
to
say
thank
you
to
the
parking
commission
to
the
city
council
for
proving
the
four-minute
parking
spots
in

I
finally
did
I
felt
a
disability
I
worked
for
cbs
and
on
summit
street.
I
worked
there
for
11
and
a
half
years
now
I
work
at
the
moakley
courthouse
in
boston
and
it's
a
big
achievement
through
joan
my
cousin,
joan
my
mom's
over
there.
I'm
pretty
sure
that,
just
like
you
know
I
celebrated
anniversary.
Every
year
november
18
1997,
I
decided
to
call
it
quits
and
it's
been
doing
good
ever
since
I
just
figured
I'd.

Z

This
summer
alone,
I've
learned
a
lot
about
my
community
than
I
have
in
the
last
23
years
that
I've
lived
here,
I'm
proud
to
say
that
I'm
a
second
generation
family
to
be
living
in
chelsea,
I'm
proud
to
say
that
both
of
my
parents
were
born
and
raised
here
in
the
chelsea
communities.
Chelsea
public
schools
happy
to
say
that
I
myself
was
able
to
be
in
the
chelsea
public
schools.
Z
That
being
said,
I
feel
like
I
was
spoiled
in
a
way.
Chelsea
has
to
be
one
of
the
most
diverse
cities
than
I
think
I've
ever
seen,
and
I
didn't
really
take
that
for
granted-
or
I
didn't
realize
that
until
I
left
to
go
to
college
being
able
to
stand
here
in
front
of
just
a
diverse
panel
in
itself
speaks
very
high
volumes.
Z
A
lot
of
people
in
this
room
have
watched
me
grow
up,
and
I
can't
say
that
for
a
lot
of
others,
chelsea
is
one
of
the
most
diverse
cities
has
the
biggest
thank
you
for
brian
chief
police,
brian
kais,
for
allowing
such
a
diverse
police
police
department,
and
it's
changed
a
lot
around,
especially
growing
up.
Sorry,
I'm
trying
to
breathe.
Oh
okay,
I
myself
I
define
just
as
my
identity
is
diverse,
I'm
puerto
rican,
cuban
black
and
italian.
Just
that
alone
just
proves
how
diverse
that
I
truly
am.
Z
Z
I
wanted
to
come
here
me
and
my
mom
wanted
to
come
because
we
heard
about
the
diversity
and
inclusion
and
it
comes
a
lot
more
than
just
race
and
the
color
of
your
skin.
It
counts
for
economic,
financial,
gender
inclusion,
it
counts
so
much
more
than
just
the
color
of
your
skin
and
everybody.
Here
I
feel
like
is
just
born
and
raised
in
chelsea,
which
is
why
I
appreciate
the
police
department
so
much
more,
because
all
of
them
grew
up
same
way.
Z
I
did
and
right
next
to
me
and
now
they're
police
officers,
so
I
think
that
gender,
inclusion
and
diversity
is
a
lot
more
important
than
just
black
versus
everybody
else.
It's
to
include
everybody,
whether
your
economic
status,
the
color
of
your
skin,
your
sexual
preferences,
so
to
have
a
place,
that's
so
close
to
home.
That
is
my
home.
I
feel
like
there
should
be
a
spot
in
the
center
or
the
heart
of
chelsea.
That
represents
that
as
well.
All
right,
I'm
done
thank.

about
that
guys
just
trying
to
make
it
quick,
too
quick.
So,
yes,
I
am
mixed
race.
I
am
physically
disabled
with
cerebral
palsy.
As
I
said
last
week,
I
also
support
the
office
of
yeah
and
inclusion.
I
apologize
you
didn't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
yeah.
I
also
had
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
pre-judging
and
I'll.
Tell
you
a
very
quick
story.
I
was
in
a
gym
in
boston
in
the
90s.
AA
AA
I
just
said:
oh
well,
they
kicked
me
out
I'll.
Just
have
to
take
that
chance
and
I'll
just
do
you
know
what
I
can
so
I'm
lifting
weights
and
bench
pressing
and
all
the
other
things
the
day
came
when
they
even
announced
to
me
for
some
strange
reason:
we're
gonna.
Kick
you
out
and
they
they
held
up
the
petition
and
unfortunately
they
were
all
white
too.
AA
I
was
worried
that
I
was
going
to
get
kicked
out,
but
I
wasn't-
and
you
know
many
other
similar
situations
that
I've
had
to
deal
with
being
disabled
trying
to
in
the
past
deal
with
landlords,
and
then
they
saw
the
way
that
I
walked
and
said.
Oh
you're
going
to
fall
down
and
sue
me.
So
I'm
going
to
say
no,
you
know
right
away
and
other
weird
things,
but
thankfully
you
know
the
decades
are
changing.

L
L
We
are
looking
for
a
person
with
a
deep
understanding
of
diversity,
challenges
and
ability
to
lead
systematic
change.
This
person
reports
directly
to
the
city
manager
and
collaborates
with
senior
leadership
and
other
key
stakeholders
to
advance
our
diversity,
equity
initiatives
and
overall
inclusion
strategies.
L
This
person
must
be
able
to
create
a
vision
of
change
that
will
inspire
colleagues
at
all
levels
and
help
the
administration
meaningfully
serve
our
ever
more
diverse
public.
That
person
will
advise
relating
to
all
things.
Diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
make
recommend
recommendations
that
work
to
build
a
more
inclusive
city,
workforce
related
to
race,
ethnicity,
disability,
gender,
gender
identity
and
sexual
orientation.
L
A
person
will
execute
other
duties
related
to
diversity,
equality
and
inclusion
matters,
as
required
by
the
city
manager,
and
that
person
should
have
significant
knowledge
of
federal
and
state
employment
laws,
rules
and
regulations.
So
that's
the
type
of
person
that
we're
looking
for
to
fill
this
position.
So
this
position
is
not
earmarked
for
anybody,
and
you
must
have
a
background
in
that
field
in
order
to
serve
the
city,
manager
and
city
council
to
broad
provide
the
best
for
our
community
as
a
whole.
And
thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
mr
president,
I'd
like
to
offer
an
amendment
to
the
office
that
we're
talking
about.
I
have
talked
to
my
colleagues
and
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
have
no
regrets
or
no
disapproval
of
the
amendment.
The
amendment
will
re.
Instead
of
the
office
of
diversity,
inclusion,
it
will
say
the
office
of
diversity,
equity
and
if
there's
no
opposition.
H
H
On
it,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
all
for
being
here,
and
I
appreciate
everyone.
As
we
know,
this
conversation
came
out
of
many
conversations.
This
office,
we're
speaking
of
here
tonight,
came
out
of
many
conversations.
We
had
on
some
of
the
actions
that
took
place
over
the
united
states
this
past
summer,
particularly
the
george
brother,
george
floyd,
in
minnesota,
and
a
lot
of
community
members
came
together
and
we
voiced
our
opinion
and
discussed
and
what
was
going
on
was
enough.
H
I
think
you
know.
I
spoke
to
many
of
the
folks
about
this
office,
and
this
weekend
I
was
just
perplexed
with
it
wrestling
with
it.
I
kept
thinking,
there's
something
missing
here,
there's
something
missing
here.
I
know
the
city
of
chelsea
and
no
one.
I
think
here
tonight
can
disagree
that
we're
not
a.
We
are
a
very
diverse
community.
We
are
very
incl
inclusive
community
also,
but
I
just
think
that
it's
important
that
we
have
this
word
equity
in
there
and
I
seem
like
everyone
I
spoke
to
about
it.
H
We
heard
this
past
last
week
that
some
folks
felt
that
there
was
a
lot
of
favoritism
and
throughout
the
injustice
of
racism
and
stuff.
We
know
there
is
a
lot
of
favoritism
this
office
that
we
had
called
the
office
of
diversity
and
inclusion,
equity
and
inclusion
would
create
a
more
sustained
sustainable
chelsea
where
people
from
all
walks.
As
my
counselor
just
said
from
all
whites,
all
walks
of
life
will
be
able
to
come
and
realize
that
we
are
participating
in
a
fair
and
just
sit,
a
fear
and
just
city.
H
I
mean
we've
heard
so
many
conversations,
and
so
many
testimonies
over
the
past
week
and
throughout
some
of
the
marches
that
we've
all
participated
in
about
some
of
the
pressing
nagging
discriminatory
actions
that
we've
already
came
through.
This
here
gives
us
some
hope
that
we
are
now
moving
in
the
right
direction.
H
To
not
only
make
a
better
name
for
ourselves
here
in
chelsea,
but
give
us
a
variety
of
perspective
for
a
better
reputation
to
make
sure
that
people
would
see-
and
I
think
rather
than
whitley
was
speaking
about
the
other
nations
and
countries
that
people
will
see
this
little
small
city
in
chelsea,
where
people
are
getting
together
working
and
not
just
talking
to
do.
What's
right,
and
I
hope
this
office
will
address-
and
I
heard
what
my
colleague
said
about
the
type
of
person
that
we
would
like
to
have
the
head
this
off.
H
H
M
I
believe
this
office
is
a
great
office.
I
believe
that
this
will
serve
the
purpose.
I
know
firsthand
what
racism
and
can
do
and
prejudice,
because
I
raised
13
children
of
biracial,
so
I
always
believed
that
this
office
could
be
something
that
it
was
always
needed,
and
I
think
it's
a
great
thing
to
have,
and
I
hope
that
this
office
serves
all
of
us
and
it
makes
it
equal
for
all
of
us
which
are
here.
M
The
only
thing
reservation
ever
about
this
office
is
one
thing
I
want
the
person
to
live
here.
I
want
that
person.
Whoever
gets
this
job
to
live
with
us
to
understand
how
we
feel
and
every
day
to
come
to
this
city
and
live
here
with
us,
because
I
think
this
office
requires
someone
to
live
here,
because
you
have
to
see
firsthand
what
it
does
and
you
have
to
go
every
day
and
understand
what
the
population
of
the
city
sees.
M
So,
if
you
come
here
and
you
go
home,
the
only
thing
you
see
is
what
you
see
here
live
here
with
us,
see
what
it
is
for
us
to
be
here.
This
is
the
greatest
thing
you
can
have
is
to
understand.
We
live
here.
I
lived
here
40
somewhat
years
and
I
never
had
an
issue
with
that.
I
always
believe
this
is
a
city
for
greatness
and
greatness
can
be
achieved
to
this
office,
but
live
here
with
me.
It's
the
only
thing
I
have
about
this
office.
I've
never
been
against
this
office
to
say
anything.
M
M
I've
seen
it
to
me
and
I've
seen
it
through
my
children,
I've
seen
what
they
put
up
when
I
see
what
they
do.
So
this
is
a
great
thing.
Just
live
here
with
me.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
living
here.
I
want
everybody
to
live
in
our
city
and
I
want
this
office
to
live
here
with
me.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
you
living
here.
If
you
object
to
living
here,
then
why
do
you
want
the
job?
M
How
are
you
going
to
see
every
day
if
you
go
home
and
then
you
come
here,
you
don't
see
what
we
see
every
day.
You
just
see
a
little
piece
of
it
experience
it.
I
will
be
supporting
this
all
the
way.
I
believe
it's
a
great
thing.
The
only
thing
I
want
is
for
them
to
live
here.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
that.
If
people
object
to
them
living
here,
then
they
have
an
issue.
M
E
AB
AB
Other
practices
are
governed
by
fairly
strict
civil
service
rules.
I
understand
the
legislatures
looking
at
some
of
those
rules
recognizing
how
they
can
inhibit
these
efforts
for
more
inclusion,
more
equity.
But,
aside
from
those
constraints,
this
person
will
have
full
authority
to
review
policies
and
procedures
there
and
to
recommend
to
me
ways
to
change
that
as
he
or
she
will
be
doing
in
every
department.
So
I
do.
I
have
optimism
that
we
will
be
able
to
effectuate
some
change
even
in
police
and
fire.
E
I
don't
have
to
express
my
support
for
this
project.
I
mean
for
this
office.
This
is
something
that
is
at
the
core
of
everything
that
I
do.
I
do
just
want
to
say
a
couple
of
things.
Last
week
we
heard
stories
of
folks
about
how
they've
experienced
racism-
and
I
just
have
to
say
that
I
felt
very
uncomfortable
sitting
here
and
listening
to
that.
Those
are
very
vulnerable
moments
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
tipping
my
hat
to
everybody
that
spoke
and
that
shared
such
vulnerable
moments.
E
Part
of
me
feels
a
little.
We
see
dead
black
and
brown
bodies
all
the
time
on
the
news
and
it
hasn't
moved
people.
So
for
me,
I
feel
a
little
overproductive
when
I
see
young
kids,
especially
chennai,
who
came
and
spoke
about
her
experience,
and
it
really
moved
me.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
acknowledge
the
heroic
efforts
of
everyone
that
spoke
especially
sinai
and
jalen,
who
went
and
spoke
openly
about
their
experiences.
E
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
young
people
of
this
of
sia,
who
really
made
this
happen.
Kyle
jade
ola
and
tunisia,
kanechukwu
and
khalil,
under
the
guidance
of
joan
you
guys,
are
forced
to
be
reckoned
with
and
I'm
so
proud
to
be
in
community
with
you
all
I
hear
comments.
Sometimes
people
say
I've
never
experienced
racism.
I've
never
experienced
racism.
E
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and,
like
my
colleagues
said,
with
respect
to
equity
a
lot
of
times,
we
talk
about
equality
and
at
this
point,
where
we're
so
far
in
and
there's
so
much
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
if
we're
not
talking
equity,
equity,
equitable
being
equitable,
that
we're
not
saying
an
entire
story,
and
so
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
have
these
conversations.
So
I'm
really
proud
to
be
part
of
this
conversation,
I'm
glad
I'm
so
proud
of
the
young
people
that
have
stepped
up.
E
E
This
is,
this
is
for
black
and
brown
communities
and
that
there's
intersection
here
there
are
people
that
identify
with
being
latino
and
also
being
black
and
also
being
disabled,
and
these
are
all
people
that
need
to
be
protected
so
shout
out
to
cbc
and
all
the
young
people
that
did
this
grateful
to
be
here,
glad
to
support
it.
Let's
keep
it
moving.
Thank
you.
AC
You
have
to
connect
with
people
and,
like
reverend
whitley
said
earlier,
sometimes
not
everybody
talks
to
each
other
and
when
people
don't
talk
to
each
other,
other
people
start
well.
Somebody
said
this
or
somebody
said
that
or
whatever
it
is,
and
I
think
that's
what
was
happening
last
week,
and
I
can
tell
you,
since
I've
been
involved
in
in
the
city.
AC
AC
AC
AC
AC
AC
I
talked
to
the
city
manager
earlier
about
this
position
and
I
asked
a
lot
of
questions.
I
had
questions
whether
this
person
was
going
to
be
attached
to
hr
or
what
basically
it
was.
I
don't
think
that
this
was
a
very
hard
decision
to
make
whether
to
vote
for
this
or
not.
I
think
the
community
is
solidly
behind
this,
so
I
wish
that
this
position
was
not
necessary.
P
AC
The
basic
thing
is,
everybody,
I
think,
wants
to
see
fairness,
and
so
do
I,
and
I
mean
that
that's
the
way
I
was
raised
in
that,
no
matter
what
color
you
are
or
what
religion.
You
are
right,
how
much
money
you
have
or
anything
else
you
are
one
of
my
or
you
were
one
of
god's
children,
and
that
means
you
are
my
brother
or
sister.
A
AC
AC
Let's
have
a
real
conversation,
not
a
canned
one,
not
one
that
comes
down
from
you
know:
people
up
people
higher
up
on
the
food
chain.
This
is
about
chelsea,
okay,
let's
talk
to
each
other
and
figure
this
out.
Okay,
and
I'm
I'm
just
as
committed
to
this
as
any
other
counselor
here
when
it
comes
to
fairness,.
F
It's
in
my
blood,
it's
also
one
of
the
reasons
why
I'm
here
I've
committed
to
serve
our
city
and
that's
why
I'm
here
today
as
a
lifelong
resident
woman
of
color.
Unfortunately,
I
too
have
had
my
own
experiences
with
racism
and
miss
jones.
I
don't
know
if
you
remember
this,
but
one
of
my
experiences
was
when
I
was
a
freshman
in
high
school
and
I
I'm
gonna
share
this
experience,
because
you
were
the
person
that
I
went
to
after
this
happened,
but
this
one
really
impacted
my
life
tremendously.
F
I
was
a
freshman
in
in
english
class.
Granted
you
know
I
my
first
language
is
spanish,
so
my
english
wasn't
that
great,
and
so
I
was
so,
I
needed
a
little
bit
more
help
there
and
I
was
surrounded
by
everyone
in
the
classroom
that
looked
like
me
and
was
a
person
of
color.
No
one
in
that
classroom.
No
student
in
that
classroom
was
white.
The
teacher
was
white.
Now
I
remember
in
particular
we
were
talking.
F
Now
I'm
31
years
old,
I
don't.
I
can't
do
the
math
clearly.
My
math
is
also
not
that
great,
but
I
that's
something
that
I've
held
with,
and
I
remember
thinking
to
myself,
you're
right.
I
will
never
leave
chelsea,
but
because
I
want
to
make
it
a
better
place
that
I
can
raise
my
children
and
be
proud
and
change
that
mindset
of
teachers.
I
want
teachers
to
love,
you
know
teaching
in
chelsea
and
love
our
students.
F
F
F
F
G
Thank
you,
mr
president,
thank
you
to
my
colleague,
melinda
vega
maldonado,
for
sharing
that
story.
That's
so
personal,
but
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
every
single
one
of
you
who
is
here
tonight
and
all
the
members
who
are
watching
us
who
were
here
at
the
last
meeting,
sharing
very
personal
stories.
It
takes
tremendous
courage
to
share
something
as
personal
as
you
all
did
and
honestly.
G
And
this
is
not
to
undermine
the
work
of
all
the
community-based
organizations,
the
faith
leaders
who
have
worked
in
in
different
ways
and
in
every
way
that
they
can
for
the
past
years
to
help
our
community
in
their
needs.
But
it's
our
time
as
government
to
have
a
place,
that's
a
safe
haven
for
everyone
here.
So
I
will
be
in
full
support
of
this.
G
There
is
no
question
in
my
mind,
and
I
ask
all
my
colleagues
to
just
this
is
a
unique
opportunity
to
make
history
and
to
be
on
the
right
side
of
things,
so
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
and
I
hope
that
everyone
else
rises
to
the
occasion
in
voting
a
favor
for
this,
because
today
is
a
great
day.
It
could
be
a
great
day,
and
this
is
long
overdue.
A
A
How
was
this
individual
going
to
operate
and
began
my
work
doing
my
homework,
as
I'm
sure
many
of
my
colleagues
did
for
me
that
entailed
calling
individuals
in
my
network
individuals
who
actually
have
this
position
right
now
had
this
position,
I
contacted
from
my
old
state
agency
massdot
the
person
who
was
in
charge
of
dire.
We
called
it
dire.
A
Dyer
is
an
afternoon
for
a
dire
need,
diversity,
inclusion,
race,
equity,
and
he
gave
me
some
great
pointers.
When
I
worked
there,
we,
my
part
of
the
job,
was
going
out
to
communities
and
it
was
to
ensure
that
we
were
in
our
messaging
was
reached
everyone,
whether
we
made
sure
that
it
was
covered,
races,
lgbtq,
handicap
accessible.
It
was
very
important
to
make
sure
our
messaging
and
our
ability
to
get
people
to
our
community
meetings
was
widely
accessible.
A
A
Sometimes
messages
to
the
council
has
a
little
tweak
to
it
may
not
be
as
uncomfortable.
It
might
not
be
as
comfortable
as
city
manager
would
like,
and
you
know
I've
seen
it.
Let's
be
honest:
I've
seen,
managers
head
of
departments,
you
know
be
careful
what
they
say.
Sometimes
the
city
council,
because
they
don't
want
to
get
their
boss
in
trouble
and
so
forth.
It's
real.
A
A
A
Not
arlington
already
has
this
position,
so
this
framingham,
so
there's
worcester
so
does
springfield,
and
all
these
all
these
towns
did
this
last
year,
corporations
have
been
filling
this
up
because
it's
in
the
news
and
they
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
their
butts
covered
and
so
they've
gone
out.
So
you
can
understand
why
trying
to
find
an
individual
in
that
climate
may
be
difficult.
You
just
heard
that
this
is
the
school
committee
school
department,
rather
they're,
going
to
hire
somebody.
A
So
that
means
we're
going
to
be
competing
with
our
own
school
department
and
trying
to
find
somebody.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
when
we
start
this
process,
a
search
committee
is
part
of
the
process
we
have
to.
We
have
a
work.
The
city
manager
has
his
work
cut
out
for
him
in
filling
this
position,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
done
right.
A
Honestly,
I
think
I
share
my
some
of
my
colleagues
sentiments
that
we
were
really
thrown
off.
We
were
thrown
off
by
some
of
the
sentiment
last
week
about
you
know
where
this
council
stood
on
this
issue
and
it
it
needed
to.
You
know
when
I
dug
deep
into
this
feeling
that
you
know:
where
did
this
sentiment
come
out
and
it?
Let's
you
know,
and
it
was
mentioned
there
is
those
who
out
there,
maybe
are
misrepresenting
the
sentiment
for
their
own.
A
A
Needless
to
say,
made
papers
and
the
next
week
we
had
dozens
of
residents
who
were
outraged.
Also,
interestingly
enough,
no
other
one
of
my
colleagues
said
anything
to
the
gentleman.
No
one
offered
to
censor
him,
nothing.
They
came
afterwards
and
said
good
for
you.
We
know
he
is
that
way.
We
know
those
are
the
sentiments
he
said,
but
no
one
came
along
with
me
on
that.
A
Years
later,
yes,
I
was
one
of
the
co-sponsors
for
the
sanctuary
city.
Along
with
my
colleague,
then
colleague,
rosembon
giovanni
I
stood
there.
We
made
sure
that
everyone
knew
that
chelsea
is
and
always
will
be
an
immigrant
city
and
that
we
don't
have
harbor
ill
will
towards
them.
We
find
them
to
be
part
of
the
american
dream.
A
A
A
It
never
made
it
because
there
was
a
will
for
justice
in
me
for
equity,
and
I
and-
and
I
was
obviously
benefited
by
having
a
density
solicitor
who's
here
today-
give
me
the
ammunition
to
destroy
it,
because
we
knew
it
was
bad,
but
I
was
taken
on
a
heavyweight
truly
because
at
the
time
this
person,
this
other
council,
had
a
lot
of
influence.
It
wasn't
easy,
but
we
did
it.
Can
you
imagine
today
if
we
had
that
past
the
idea
think
about
that
of
just
simply
criminalizing
the
act
of
standing
on
a
street
corner.
A
A
Of
where
I
stand,
I'm
asking
you
check
out
my
record.
Maybe
I
have
to
remind
people
where
I
am
and
I'll
show
you
who
are
allies
here
for
the
cause
who
fight
for
justice
and
for
equity
and
for
those
who
want
to
go
out
and
misrepresent
my
background
or
you
know
so
to
those
who
listened,
I
say,
don't
believe
the
hype,
as
my
colleague
said,
call
me
I'll
talk
to
you,
don't
believe
the
hype
and
for
those
who
want
to
hype
things
up.
A
I
also
have
a
microphone.
I
also
have
a
social
page
and
I
also
have
the
access
to
the
newspapers.
So
if
you
want
to
have
this
sort
of
conversation
out
there
hey
lord
knows
I'm
up
for
a
fight
anytime,
but
let's
be
real.
Let's
work
for
what
we're
supposed
to
be
doing
and
I'm
happy
to
vote
yes
tonight.
Thank
you.

The
artist
is
a
dear
counselor
and
follow
up
the
commitment
career
is
made
by
the
city,
council
and
brian
to
request
funding
for
the
local
housing
rehab
program
originally
proposed
in
the
late
winter.
The
cost
of
this
program
is
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
council
decides
to
move
forward
with
its
effort.
The
available
funding
is
in
the
general
stabilization
account,
so.
A
A
A
A

So
we
need
a
there's,
a
motion
before
the
floor
before
the
council
to
remove
from
the
table
in
order
regarding
the
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
home,
rehabilitate
rehabilitation
using
general
funds.
Counselor
cooper
is
asking
that
we
remove
from
the
table.
It
needs
a
roll
call
vote
after
such
he's
asking
that
we
send
it
to
a
conference.

This
sign
is
this
one-way
street
there's
only
one
side
as
you
go
down
that
whole
area
between
congress
and
essex,
every
other
part
of
it
is
two
ways
except
this
one.
So
the
people
that
live
in
congress
have
cannot
go
to
their
own
house.
They
have
to
go
down
the
street,
take
a
left
turn
and
go
down
congress
to
end
up
at
that
side.
I
thought
street
is
one
is
two
ways:
that's
the
only
section.
M
That's
one
way,
and
I
can
the
last
time
I
put
in
for
it
the
parking
and
traffic
commission
said
to
me.
Well,
the
fire
department
cannot
turn.
I
can't
understand
how
can
a
fire
department
not
turn
that
turn
everywhere
and
then
the
same
size
streets
is
all
the
way
down
it's
five,
five
streets,
all
the
same.
So
if
you
can't
turn
on
that
street,
then
every
other
street,
you
cannot
turn.
I
can't
understand
why
they
did
that.
M
So
I'm
bringing
it
back
up,
and
maybe
they
can
explain
to
me
all
over
again
why
they're
against
it?
If
every
other
street
you
can
turn
and
that
one
is
the
same
size
as
every
other
one
down,
but
you
can't
turn
on
that
side.
So
you're
punishing
the
poor
people
that
live
there.
They
can't
go
to
their
house,
they
have
to
go
all
the
way
down
the
street
turn
around
and
go
to
their
house.
I
think
that's
unfair
and
the
only
reason
they
turned
it
down
was
they
came.
The
fire
department
came
make
a
turn.
M
A
Seeing
all
the
speakers
that
the
item
is
going
be
sent
to
the
traffic
commission
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
an
order.
Reque
by
council
taylor
request
the
city
solicitor
looking
into
and
communicate
back
to
the
council,
the
maximum
penalty

use

It's
really
sad,
no
matter
for
what
the
reason,
whether
out
of
boredom
or
whether
to
make
a
point
about
some
something
that
they
feel
strongly
about,
that
they
would
have
to
terrorize
half
the
city
at
night,
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
with
huge
explosions
going
off,
and
I
can't
tell
you
the
the
amount
of
calls
that
I
got
over
this
over
this
subject.
As
I'm
sure
many
of
my
colleagues
received
as
well.
AC
B
L
Long
time,
friend
from
tony
lansing
who
his
house
caught
on
fire
on
friday
and
he
died
of
a
heart
attack-
and
actually
I
spoke
with
him
about
3
30
in
the
afternoon.
He
was
on
his
way
to
demolish
to
purchase
some
things
and
then
he
went
home
and
his
house
caught
on
fire
around
five
o'clock
and
he
had
a
heart
attack
and
it's
gone
now.
H
So
if
any
of
my
colleagues
know,
if
anyone
has
any
insight
about
the
family,
where
we
can
give
a
donation,
have
some
friends
up
on
him,
so
we'd
like
to
make
a
contribution
to
the
person
who
not
only
lost
his
life,
but
his
family
lost
their
livelihoods
up
there
too.
So
if
anyone
knows
let
us
know
and
I'll
share
the
word.
