A
Face
or
anything
to
be
in
that
recording
feel
free
to
turn
your
camera
off,
but
we
will
be
recording
these
sessions
just
to
make
them
available
to
those
who
aren't
able
to
be
here
today
and
also
moving
forward.
We
also
would
ask
that
everyone
stay
muted.
A
While
we
are
working
through
the
presentations,
everyone
does
have
the
ability
to
unmute
themselves
and
we
will
be
doing
a
q
a
after
the
presentations,
but
just
in
the
interest
of
time
and
to
make
sure
everyone
is
able
to
hear
we
ask
that
you
keep
your
devices
or
computers
muted.
A
If
you
are
not
presenting
or
speaking
at
the
time-
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
just
kick
us
off,
then
I
also
wanted
to
just
do
a
brief
acknowledgement
that
as
government,
we
acknowledge
that
we
have
caused
harm
to
some
folks
in
our
community,
and
we
are
certainly
doing
our
best
to
both
acknowledge
that
harm
and
and
minimize
that
as
much
as
possible
going
forward
but
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
as
well.
A
I
deeply
believe
that
we
cannot
move
forward
without
recognizing
and
reckoning
with
with
our
past,
so
just
wanted
to
share
that.
As
well
today,
our
topic
is
focused
on
violence
prevention
strategies
and
our
guest
featured
speakers
are
anthony
smith,
who
is
the
executive
director
of
cities
united,
which
is
a
national
organization
that
centers
reducing
violence,
in
particular
for
young
men
and
boys
of
african
and
african
american
descent,
and
then
our
director
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
here
in
minneapolis
sasha
cotton.
A
So
we
welcome
both
of
them
today,
so
that
we'll
go
through
some
presentation
materials
to
give
an
overview
of
the
topic
of
balance
prevention,
and
then
we
will
have
some
q
a
after
that.
So
if
you
have
questions,
please
feel
free
to
put
that
in
the
chat
as
we
go
along.
A
If
you
need
interpretation
services,
please
put
that
in
the
chat
as
well.
We
do
have
language
interpreters
available
today,
both
asl
interpreters,
who
you
should
be
able
to
already
see
on
your
screen.
We
also
have
a
somali
interpreter
and
a
spanish
interpreter
available
to
folks
who
need
them
all
right.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
would
like
to
introduce
anthony
smith
from
cities
united
and
allow
anthony
to
introduce
himself
and
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
his
work.
B
Excuse
me,
and
I
know
that
minneapolis
and
the
brooklyn
center
and
and
the
communities
have
been
going
through
a
lot
lately,
and
I
do
want
to
appreciate
you
for
opening
up
acknowledging
the
pain,
hurt
and
and
death
that
the
city
has
caused,
and
most
cities
has
caused
with
the
because
of
structural
racism
and
just
how
they're
set
up
and
that
that's
the
key
step
in
acknowledging
this
and
then
moving
forward
is
that
we've
got
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
systems
structural
systems
that
are
are
causing
this
hurt
and
pain,
and
we
need
to
correct
that
and
move
forward
again.
B
My
name
is
anthony
smith,
executive
director
for
cities,
united,
run
a
network
of
we
support
a
network
of
mayors
across
the
country
and
their
teams
and
their
communities
who
are
really
looking
at.
How
do
we
reimagine
public
safety?
B
So
we
work
in
partnership
with
mayors
and
their
teams
across
the
country
have
been
spending
a
lot
of
time
in
minneapolis,
for
I
know
at
least
the
five
years
that
I've
been
here.
B
We've
been
a
partner,
but
I
know
before
that
we
were
also
a
partner
played
a
key
role
in
helping
set
up
the
next
step
program
with
you
all
also
played
a
key
role
when
mayor
hodges
was
there
with
the
collaborative
public
safety,
community,
collaborative
public
safety
structure
and
just
have
been
a
partner
and
a
supporter
along
the
way,
with
sasha,
jan
and
josh,
and
the
team,
as
they
work
to
stand
up
the
office
for
violence
prevention
and
the
work
that
it's
going
to
do
to
do
all
the
work
that
you
all
talked
about,
and
I
know
they've
been
leading
a
lot
and
been
pulled
in
a
lot
of
directions
over
the
last
18
months
and
and
and
will
continue
to
do
all
the
work
that
they
can
and
show
up
and
be
a
partner
with
the
community
and
the
city
as
they
continue
to
build
that
out.
B
But
we
are
thankful
for
you,
all's
leadership
and
partnership.
I
am
thankful
that
minneapolis
is
actually
pushing
the
conversation
forward.
I
know
it's
rough
and
messy,
but
I
think
that's
what
this
is
going
to
be.
We
have
gotten
so
used
to
current
structure
of
of
a
public
safety
that
is
hard
to
reimagine
and
what
it
could
be.
B
But
those
of
us
who
live
in
the
communities
who
have
families
to
live
in
the
communities
who
have
for
long
been
craving
something
different
know
what
public
know,
what
a
new
model
of
public
safety
can
look
like
and
what
it
can
be,
and
I
think,
when
you
hear
folks
talking,
you
hear
the
conversation
listening
to
those
who
are
most
impacted
and
most
at
risk
are
the
weather.
Solutions
are
going
to
come
from.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
has
been
done,
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
and
again
we're
just
here
to
be
a
partner
along
in
this
journey
and
bring
our
best
thoughts
with
you
all
in
partnership
with
you
all
and
support,
and
hopefully
at
times
I
here
to
lean,
listen
to
because
there's
a
lot
to
talk
about,
but
excited
to
be
able
to
have
this
conversation
with
you.
B
I
know
it's
been
a
long
time
coming
but
again
I
know
the
city's
been
busy
and
the
city
is
making
steps
to
at
least
provide
justice
for
the
floyd
family,
but
we
need
system-wide
justice
and
we
need
system-wide
equity.
B
So
we
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so
that
we
never
have
another
george
floyd
incident
and
not
only
in
minneapolis
but
in
this
country,
which
we
know
they
continue
to
happen
to
this
day
post
the
verdict.
We
know
we
saw
six
more
people
killed
at
the
hands
of
law
enforcement
across
this
country,
the
young
girl
in
columbus
and
just
can
go
down
the
street
and
name
the
name
and
folks
and
stuff
like
that.
So
we
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
I
think
we're
prepared.
B
I
think
we've
got
a
moment
and
I
think
we
need
to
take
advantage
of
this
moment
as
a
country
to
be
different
and
be
who
we
say.
We
want
to
be
and
and
step
into
that.
So
I
do
have
some
slides.
Am
I
supposed
to
keep
going?
I
don't
know
yep
okay,
so
I
do
want
to
just
share
with
you
all.
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
who
I
am
and
some
background
of
our
work
with
you
all
over
the
last
years,
but
I
do
have
some
slides.
B
I
want
to
share
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
walk
through
this
fast,
because
I
really
do
want
to
have
a
conversation
with
you
all
and
not
just
talk,
because
you
can
see.
I'm
also
coughing
and
I
just
want
to
have
a
conversation.
It's
a
whole
lot
easier
that
way.
So
last
year
doing
the
pandemic
and
doing
covet,
as
you
all
saw,
we
saw
homicides
rise
in
multiple
cities
across
this
country.
B
We
also
saw
high
profile
police,
murders
and
killings
in
this
country,
from
george
flora
to
briana
taylor,
to
dave
mcatee
to
tony
mcdade
and
the
names
I
could
name
on
and
on,
and
we
really
started
thinking
about
it.
As
we've
been
having
this
conversation
with
the
community
and
with
the
country
around
what
does
reimagining
public
safety
look
like,
and
how
do
we
really
move
to
safe,
healthy
and
hopeful
communities?
B
B
So-
and
you
know
part
of
this
that
you
heard
me
saw-
we
are
really
committed
to
working
with
cities,
communities
and
young
leaders
to
not
only
reimagine
public
safety,
but
to
redefine
it
right,
so
we've
got
to
reimagine,
it
redefine
it,
and
then
that
means
cities
and
communities
got
to
be
willing
to.
We
reallocate
their
resources
to
support
this
new
model
and
this
new
vision
of
public
safety.
B
So
we
are
committed
to
that
and
committed
to
making
that
happen
and
and
partnering
with
as
many
cities
across
the
country
to
really
move
this
agenda
and,
as
you
all
know,
I
talked
about
the
problem
way
too
many
young
people
are
living
in
neighborhoods
that
are
high
disadvantage
and
are
losing
their
lives
every
day.
I.
C
B
Most
of
those
are
young
black
men
who
are
dying
in
our
streets,
and
that
number
is
outrageous
for
a
city,
any
city,
but
for
a
city
who
only
has
a
hundred
and
seventy
six
thousand
a
member,
our
residents.
So
when
you
look
at
those
numbers,
there's
something
happening
that
we
need
to
be
different
about,
so
we
know
that's
a
problem.
B
It's
been
a
problem
in
this
country
and
it's
remained
a
problem
because
we
have
not
wanted
to
truly
address
the
issue
of
racism
and
systemic
racism
and
and
how
it
causes
and
creates
the
environment
for
these
things
to
happen.
B
Our
model
that
we
have
today
relies
heavy
on
law
enforcement,
jails
and
detention
centers,
and
that
keeps
some
folks
feeling
safe,
but
it
keeps
other
folks
feeling
contained
and
detained
and
puts
them
in
harm's
way,
because
folks
see
them
as
threats
and
see
us
as
threats
and
see
us
as
victims
and
disposable.
Just
to
be
honest,
as
we
have
this
conversation,
I
think
that's
what
we're
trying
to
have
an
honest
conversation
so
really
thinking
through
what
all
of
that
looks
like
it
looks.
B
It
means,
as
you
think,
about
the
two
parts
of
this
problem.
One
is
the
community
balance
and
then
one
is
police
and
state
violence
both
need
to
be
addressed
simultaneously.
At
the
same
time,
both
need
to
be
looked
at
the
root
cause
and
understand
what
the
root
cause
is,
and
then
they
both
need
to
have
strong
solutions
that
look
beyond
our
current
model
that
we
have
in
place.
B
So
when
we
talk
about
our
solution,
it
really
is
number
one.
We've
got
to
interrupt
the
cycle
of
community
violence.
We
know
there
are
things
that
work
today
that
will
interrupt
the
cycle,
the
cycle
of
community
balance
and
we
need
to
put
those
in
place
two.
B
And
it's
not
a
one-time
deal
and
here's
some
money
go
do
this
for
two
years
and
then
we
go
and
do
go
back
to
the
old
way,
because
we
didn't
give
it
time
to
work.
So
we
got
to
invest
heavily
in
those
models.
We
got
to
use
our
local
tax
dollars,
our
county
tax
dollars
and
our
state
dollars
to
really
invest
in
that,
and
we've
got
to
take
advantage
of
the
federal
dollars
that
come
down
to
support
this
work
as
well.
B
So
when
we
talk
about,
let's
reimagine
in
public
safety,
you
can
see
our
model
and-
and
our
vision
really
is
this.
This
bubble
that
has
been
created
do
all
the
hard
work
of
the
team.
We
have
a
graphic
illustrator
on
the
team,
daphne,
who
pulled
all
of
the
work
that
we
talked
about
and
put
this
together
for
us
and
I'll
go
into
details
when
I
go
to
other
screens.
B
But
if
you
can
see
this,
it
really
deals
with
the
healing
centered
engagement,
making
sure
that
we're
using
this
we're
coming
to
this
from
a
heal
and
centered
approach
that
we
use,
which
you
all
have
with
your
first
step,
the
hospital-based
intervention
strategy
that
we
use
violence,
interruption
and
interrupters.
Those
folks
who
know
how
to
get
in
between
the
the
issues
on
the
street
and
really
move
and
get
folks
to
some
resolve
so
that
folks
can
live
another
day.
B
We're
also
talking
about
street
outreach,
which
is
different
than
violence
and
eruption.
But
it's
still
important
street
outreach
connects
people
to
resources
and
it
gets
people
who
know
how
to
be
in
community
and
having
community
out
there
working
in
partnership
with
folks.
We
also
believe
you
gotta
have
a
coordinated
crisis
response
team
which
we'll
talk
more
about,
but
this
is
just
the
model
right.
So
if
you
can
move
yourself
from
where
we
are
today
to
this
model,
we
believe-
and
we
know
that
we
will
see
a
different
place.
B
We
will
see
less
people
dying
in
the
streets,
more
families,
succeeding
and
thriving,
and
we'll
have
healthier
communities
where
folks
can
drive
and
and
live
out
their
dreams.
So
you
saw
that
was
broken
down.
It's
broken
down
into
like
15
areas
underneath
each
of
these,
so
not
under
each
and
everything,
but
under
the
three
big
buckets
that
I
talked
about
so
interrupting
the
cycle
of
violence.
B
As
you
can
see,
it's
really
like
solutions
that
treats
violence.
I
can't
see
my
screen.
I
got
to
make
sure
I
can
see
this
and
in
the
moment
or
within
hours
and
days
of
his
incurrence.
So
again
it
goes
back
to
making
sure
you
have
strong
interruptions.
B
The
violence
interruption
which
you
guys
have
put
in
place
over
the
last
little
while
that
team
needs
to
be
highly
supported,
needs
to
have
the
right
resources,
but
also
need
to
have
access
to
their
own
space,
where
they
can
heal
and
and
reduce
and
be
decompressed
from
the
trauma
that
they're
going
to
be
experiencing
every
day
and
again
the
street
outreach.
I
talked
about
hospital-based
intervention.
That's
really,
you
all
know
hopefully
know
about
your
first
step
project,
if
not,
hopefully,
we'll
drop
some
links
in
the
it's
next
step.
B
I'm
sorry
next
step
project.
If
we
don't,
you
drop
some
links
in
the
thing
so
that
you
guys
can
know
about
that.
I
created
more
diversion
and
alternative
pathways
right.
We
have
been
a
country
that
has
been
so
caught
up
on,
locking
folks
up
and
throwing
them
away
and
punishment.
Instead
of
saying
how
do
we
divert
those
actions?
How
do
we
create
alternatives?
B
So
we
can
do
some
restorative
justice
and
some
healing
so
folks
can
go
back
and
get
to
back
to
their
lives,
because
we've
all
made
mistakes
and
if
we
were
all
punished
away
replenished
folks,
we
wouldn't
all
of
us
would
have
been
put
in
jail.
I
know
I
would
I
can't
speak
for
all
of
you
all.
B
There
are
multiple
things
that
I've
done,
that
if
I
would
have
allowed
this
caring
system
to
get
a
hold
of
me,
I
would
not
be
having
this
conversation
with
you
all
today,
and
then
we
got
to
create
a
coordinated
crisis
response
team.
We
all
know
people
talk
about
homicide
shootings
happen.
It
feels
like
they're
happening
every
day.
How
do
we
respond
to
that?
How
do
we,
as
a
city
have
a
coordinated
response
that
goes
beyond
law
enforcement,
but
really
looks
at
the
street?
B
Outreach
works,
the
violence
interrupters
the
hospital
and
the
intervention
specialist
community
members,
the
faith
community
community-based
organizations.
Everybody
has
a
role
to
play
and
how
do
you
coordinate
that
response?
That
goes
beyond
just
the
moment
and
the
date,
but
it
actually
supports
the
community
in
the
healing
process
over
weeks.
At
a
time
and
builds
out
a
space
for
folks
to
be
able
to
engage
differently
deal
with
the
trauma
that
has
happened
in
the
community
because
we
remember
this
is
not
just.
B
It
happened
to
me
and
my
family,
but
it
happened
to
me
in
my
community,
so
the
whole
community
needs
to
heal
together,
but
also
this
last
piece
is
around
the
collect,
collaborative
public
safety
funding
models
which
you
all
done.
Folks
in
seattle
have
done.
This
is
really.
B
How
do
you
give
resources
to
the
community
to
really
think
about
public
safety
differently
and
allow
them
to
be
part
of
the
solution
and
part
of
the
and
be
a
part
of
the
process
so
making
sure
that
you
have
those
resources,
for
that
is
also
a
key
piece
to
this.
B
Excuse
me:
dismantling
the
systems
of
equity,
we
know
and
equity
shows
up
in
every
system
that
we
have,
and
we
know
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
all
of
those
systems.
If
we
really
want
to
truly
change
and
create
safe,
healthy
and
hopeful
communities,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
have
a
robust
education.
B
That
looks
at
them
as
individuals
and
not
as
the
numbers,
but
making
sure
that
all
of
our
young
folks
not
only
graduate
from
high
school
but
graduate
prepared
for
whatever
they
want
to
do,
whether
they
want
to
go
to
college
four
year
two
year,
whether
they
want
to
just
go
straight
to
work
whatever
it
is.
How
do
we
make
sure
all
of
our
kids
are
prepared
and
have
the
have
the
educational
structure
that
they
need?
This,
too
would
also
need
alternatives.
B
How
do
we
make
sure
we
don't
send
every
kid
through
the
same
model,
because
it
does
not
work
and
we
need
to
be
better
at
educating
our
whole
system
and
all
of
our
kids
right,
expanding
healing,
centered
engagement?
This
is
not.
This
is
one
of
the
things
we
all
got
to
get
better
at
as
well
as
we
do
programming
and
as
we
do
our
work,
how
do
we
increase?
B
How
do
we
center
healing
in
that
process,
because
there's
a
lot
of
healing
that's
jen,
talked
about
when
we
started
that
we
need
to
do
as
cities
as
communities
as
a
country,
and
we've
got
to
think
about
that
throughout
build
an
inclusive
economy?
How
do
we
make
sure
everybody
can
participate
in
these
economies
that
we
have?
We
know
that
poverty
plays
a
role
in
a
lot
of
this
and
we've
known
for
too
long
that
which
neighborhoods
are
behind
and
which
ones
aren't.
B
We
know
where
high
unemployment
rates
are
and
whether
or
not,
and
we
need
to
do
better
and
making
sure
everybody
can
be
included
in
this
economy
that
we're
working
through
in
recycling,
the
criminal
and
juvenile
justice
system,
and
again
it
goes
all
the
way
back
to
what
I
talked
about.
B
It's
got
to
be
more
about
restorative
and
not
allowing
folks
to
come
back
in
community
and
not
have
that
stain
on
them
for
the
rest
of
their
lives
and
not
just
be
about
punitive
and
not
be
about
just
sending
folks
away
for
years
with
no
training
and
no
no
re-engagement
strategy.
We
need
to
do
better
if
we,
if
we're
going
to
keep
the
criminal
justice
system,
it
needs
to
be
reformed
completely
and
in
a
way
where
it's
more
about
healing
restorative
and
justice,
and
not
just
about
punitive.
B
It's
also
talking
about
dismantling
the
system
of
equity
and
looking
at
the
goldman
iceberg
model
and,
as
you
can
see,
right,
we've
got
to
get
to
the
place
where
we're
just
not
reacting
and
responding,
but
that
we're
actually
getting
to
the
place
where
we're
transforming
or
not
just
the
work.
But
our
met
our
mental
models-
and
I
talked
about
that
earlier.
When
we
start
talking
about
public
safety,
the
first
thing
that
usually
comes
to
folk's
mind
is
police.
B
B
So
thinking
about
how
we
transform
and
think
about
why
things
are
happening
and
what
is
it
thinking
and
what
is
the
impact
and
not
just
not
just
just
reacting
to
the
things
that
happen,
but
really
going
upstream
and
saying:
why
are
they
happening
and
changing
the
way
we
do
our
business
and
then
invest
in
sustainability
again,
as
we
think
about
reimagining
public
safety,
and
we
think
about
these
new
models
and
all
the
new
things
that
we
talked
about.
B
We've
got
to
really
start
thinking
about
what
is
the
true
cost
of
public
safety,
and
what
would
it
take
us
to
get
to
this
place
that
we're
trying
to
get
to
there's
a
report
that
the
controller
out
of
the
philadelphia
put
out
in
2019,
rebecca
reinhardt
and
she
talked
about
if
philadelphia
invested,
30
000
a
year
per
homicide
and
prevention
and
intervention
work?
Not
only
will
they
cut
the
homicide
rate
and
they'll
buy
like
35
in
five
years.
They
would
also
see
a
return
on
that
investment
for
a
number
of
reasons.
B
One
they'll
see
housing
prices
go
up,
so
they'll
get
resources
there,
but
they're
also
were
able
to
see
more
income
and
taxes
coming
in
from
income.
So
there's
a
report
that
really
talks
about,
let's
put
together
a
true
cause.
What
does
it
cost
us
to
keep
the
public
safe
and
what
do
we
get
in
return?
B
And
if
I
can't
get
you
to
care
about
the
kids
who
lives
that
are
being
taken?
At
least
I
can
get
you
to
care
about
the
dollars
that
we're
saving
and
then
also.
We
need
to
really
assess
how
the
city
and
our
philanthropy
and
our
our
corporate
partners
are
spending
their
money
to
support
this
work
either
support
it
or
interfere
with
it.
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
assess
what's
already
been
spending
spent
so
that
we
can
get
a
clear
picture
of
that?
B
And
then
we
also,
as
you
think,
about
this
work,
we've
gotta
adopt
anti-racism
evaluation
into
our
framework.
We
are
clear
that
this
country
is
racist,
that
this
country
has
racist
tendency
that
this
country
has
racism
throughout
its
systems.
B
We've
got
to
work
to
break
that
down,
so
we've
got
to
think
about
how
we
evaluate
our
work,
so
using
the
anti-racism
framework
will
help
with
that,
and
then
also
we've
got
to
implement
asset
framing
communication.
We
gotta
talk
about
our
young
people
like
we
give
a
damn
about
them.
We
gotta
talk
about
our
young
people
like
we
care
about
them
that
we
want
them
around,
that
we
we
see
them
and
that
we
want
them
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation.
B
We
know
again
that
we've
all
made
mistakes
and
we've
all
made
it
to
where
we
are.
We
got
to
give
the
same
opportunity
to
our
young
folks
so
making
sure
that
we're
real
clear
when
we
talk
about
our
young
people
that
we're
using
asset
framing
around
them
and
around
their
future
and
around
what
we
want
to
see
for
them
as
they
grow
old
and
be
a
part
of
this
community.
B
So
again,
that's
the
framework.
Those
are
the
15
pillars
that
fall
underneath
that
and
we
believe
this
is
where
this
country
needs
to
go
and
cities
need
to
go
if
we're
truly
about
reimagining
public
safety
and
really
about
keeping
our
kids
safe,
healthy
and
hopeful.
B
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
anthony.
You
know
we're
we're
so
thankful
for
your
partnership
and
and
your
guidance
as
well
that
you've
been
providing
to
us
as
a
city
for
for
the
last
five
years
or
more.
I
think
it's
maybe
a
little
more
than
five,
and
also
to
our
surrounding
cities
of
brooklyn
park
and
brooklyn
center.
A
We
all
know
that
we
don't
live
in
a
bubble
here
in
the
twin
cities
and
and
people
move
around
and
and
it's
it's
not
just
things
happening
in
minneapolis.
So
we're
really
thankful
to
you
and
your
team
for
all
the
support
that
you're
providing
to
us
here
in
the
twin
cities,
even
more
broadly
than
minneapolis.
So
yes
appreciate
it.
I
think
that
we
will
get
through
director,
cotton's
presentation
and
then
open
it
up
for
questions.
A
I've
been
pulling
some
and
other
staff
are
pulling
helping
me
pull
some
from
the
chat
that
folks
have
been
entering
so
we'll
go
through
those
as
soon
as
sasha
gets
through
her
presentation.
So
next
I
would
like
to
welcome
our
very
own
director
of
our
office
of
violence
prevention,
ms
sasha,
cotton.
D
Good
afternoon
everybody
jen
thanks
for
the
introduction,
I
am
going
to
jump
in
with
some
slides
and
really
grateful
for
the
turnout
and
everyone's
willingness
to
participate,
and
what
we
think
is
the
first
of
some
really
important
conversations
around
reimagining,
public
safety
and
thinking
about
it
with
some
different
lenses
and
opportunities.
So
I'm
gonna
click
share
my
screen.
D
If
I
can
figure
it
out
we're
still
living
in
this
world
of
technology.
That
is
not
always
easy.
Jenna,
I'm
not
seeing
the
platform
for
me
to
share
my
screen.
D
Give
me
just
a
sec
here,
that's
what
I
mean
all
righty,
so
this
is
an
image
that
folks
might
begin
to
see
as
the
office
of
violence.
Prevention
continues
to
build
its
work
and
its
brand.
This
is
one
of
the
images
that
we'll
be
using,
and
it
really
is
about
explaining
and
expressing
how
we
see
the
issue
that
the
face
of
violence
prevention
looks
like
all
of
us.
The
slogan
of
the
office
of
violence.
Prevention
is
mini
apple
us.
It
takes
all
of
us
to
prevent
violence,
and
we
really
believe
that.
D
So
this
is
the
first
of
learning
labs.
This
is
who
I
am
the
director
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
and
you
know
just
grounding
us
transforming
community
safety.
What
do
we
really
mean?
And
in
minneapolis
we
are
talking
about
developing
new
models
of
public
safety
that
are
with
community
and
for
community
and
that
are
especially
focused
on
ensuring
that
the
safety
of
every
member
of
our
community
is
centered
in
what
we
are
designing.
D
When
we
think
about
our
priority
areas,
we
really
tried
to
bucket
them
into
three
key
pillars
and
that's
prevention.
So
breaking
the
cycle
of
violence
before
it
begins
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
at
great
length
today.
Oops.
Excuse
me
sorry.
I
hope
my
screen
didn't
pivot
too
much.
Okay,
alternatives,
which
is
really
thinking
about
what
alternative
kind
of
responses
can
we
have
when
people
call
9-1-1
right
now,
people
know
that
when
they
call
9-1-1,
they
might
be
connected
to
services
related
to
law
enforcement,
fire
ambulatory
services.
D
Certainly,
those
policies
that
involve
the
police
department,
but
public
safety
generally,
and
how
are
we
showing
up
better
around
the
issue
of
public
safety
for
our
communities
in
minneapolis
and
then
a
piece
that
cuts
across?
All
of
that
is
really
an
effort
to
try
to
center
healing
and
reconciliation,
and
so
these
are
our
goals.
These
are
the
things
that
we
want
to
continue
to
build,
there's
bodies
of
work
that
exists,
but
by
no
means
we
feel,
like
we've
reached
our
tipping
point,
and
so
we
continue
to
build
up
each
one
of
these
areas.
D
How
we're
developing
this
new
model,
so
one
of
the
main
ways
and
we're
grateful
for
our
partners
from
cities.
United
here
is
by
working
with
national
organizations
and
looking
at
evidence-based,
research-based
programs
and
really
evaluating
what
has
been
shown
to
be
effective
in
other
cities
and
states
across
the
u.s,
as
well
as
in
other
parts
of
the
world.
D
We
recognize
that
the
issue
of
public
safety
is
something
that
has
faced
the
human
experience
for
a
really
long
time
and
that
other
communities
have
found
things
that
have
been
very
effective
and
we
want
to
borrow
from
practices
that
have
worked
well,
while
still
adding
a
minneapolis
specific
feel
to
those
approaches.
D
We
want
to
explore
opportunities
for
structural
change,
recognizing,
as
we
mentioned
before,
that
our
systems
have
done
and
caused
harm
and
that
by
changing
our
structures,
we
can
mitigate
and
change
those
harmful
experiences
that
people
are
having
and
through
community
and
in
computing
community
engagement
and
input,
and
so
learning
labs
like
this.
The
surveys
that
we've
done
our
meeting
in
our
box
opportunities
that
are
still
up
on
our
website
are
really
a
couple
of
examples
of
how
we're
trying
to
engage
with
our
community,
obviously,
with
kovid
and
the
restrictions
it's
been
challenging.
D
I
think
one
of
our
interpreter
languages
lines
have
gotten
crossed
over
into
the
mainframe
or
maybe
wasn't
muted,
but
I'm
going
to
continue
on
sorry
for
the
interruption
and
I
I
hope
that
we've
gotten
that
addressed
our
engagement
principles
are
really
focused
on
accessibility,
meaningfulness
and
inclusivity.
D
A
Yep
we're
on
it
in
the
background,
give
us
just
a
minute
books.
Apologize.
Give
us
just
a
second
here.
C
D
D
We
think
of
violence
as
a
communicable
disease
as
something
that
people
can
catch
based
on
their
proximity
to
their
ex
and
their
exposure,
and
that,
with
that.
D
So
factors
to
our
approach,
we
think
about
risk
and
protective
factors
for
violence.
Again,
I
think
using
covenant
as
an
as
an
example
is
very
timely,
because
everyone
has
been
thinking
about
this
as
a
top
of
mind
issue.
So
if
we
think
about
risk
factors
for
covid,
we
think
about
people
who
have
pre-existing
conditions.
We
think
about
people
who
aren't
able
to
access
ppe.
We
think
about
those
who
are
working
in
the
public
and
who
may
have
greater
exposure.
D
We
think
about
risk
factors
for
violence
through
a
similar
lens,
so
people
who
are
exposed
to
violence
and
conflict
people,
particularly
children,
who
have
had
low
parental
involvement,
but
we
know
that
low
parental
involvement
can
carry
into
adulthood
behaviors
so
that
doesn't
just
apply
to
children
but
can
apply
to
adults
later
in
life.
Diminished
economic
opportunities,
involvement
with
drugs,
alcohol
or
tobacco
high
levels
of
transience
transcends.
D
This
is
a
hard
word
for
me:
high
levels
of
transiency
and
low
commitment
to
school
and
again
that
low
commitment
to
school
factor
certainly
affects
our
young
people,
but
can
carry
us
into
our
adulthood.
So
these
are
just
us
a
list
of
some
of
the
risk
factors
that
we
know
we
need
to
be
paying
attention
to
for
people
as
we
think
about
their
likelihood
for
involvement
both
as
a
victim
or
a
perpetrator
of
violence,
protective
factors.
D
So
again,
we
know
that
we
can
think
about
ways
to
keep
people
safe
from
exposure
to
things
like
hobid
by
you
know
sheltering
in
place
by
wearing
a
mask
in
public
by
washing
your
hands
frequently.
Those
were
all
things
that
you
know.
Many
of
us
were
informed
to
do
at
the
peak
of
the
pandemic
as
ways
to
help
keep
ourselves
safe
from
contracting
the
virus.
D
These
are
some
protective
factors
that
we
think
of
as
it
relates
to
preventing
people
from
being
involved
with
violence,
so
a
commitment
to
school
connections,
to
adults
and
or
family
members,
positive,
social
orientation,
parental
family
use
of
constructive
ways
to
cope
with
issues
and
problems,
involvement
with
pro-social
activities
and
skills
for
realistic
planning.
So
these
are
just
again
a
few
examples
of
protective
factors
that
we
can
consider
when
we
think
about
how
we
help
people
stay
safe
from
potential
exposure
to
violence
and
involvement
with
violence.
D
D
D
There
are
many
factors
that
go
into
a
person's
risk
for
being
involved
with
violence.
We
recognize
that
violence
is
a
complex
issue.
It's
not
simple
by
any
means
and
how
people
get
involved
with
violence
is
not
simple
social
conditions,
almost
always
matter
of
the
way
a
person
was
raised,
the
environment
in
which
they
were
raised
where
they
live,
and
the
challenges
that
they're
facing
will
often
deeply
impact.
How
they'll
deal
with
a
situation
and
whether
or
not
violence
may
in
that
moment,
feel
like
a
reasonable
option.
D
Violence
is
much
more
complicated
than
just
bad
choices
or
people,
bad
people,
it's
much
more
complicated,
and
I
think
it's
always
very
important
for
us
to
center
ourselves
in
thinking
about
the
choices
of
desperate
people
and
how
we,
as
individuals
might
react.
If
we
were
finding
ourselves
in
those
same
situations.
D
And
then
we
also
have
to
consider
all
the
factors
that
put
people
at
risk
for
or
protect
them
from
experiencing
or
perpetrating
violence
again
really
sussing
out.
Those
risk
and
protective
factors
we
recognize
that
violence
is
a
cycle
and
you'll
hear
this
from
us.
Quite
often
that
hurt
people
are
more
likely
to
hurt
other
people.
So
how
do
we
support
individuals
on
a
path
towards
healing
and
away
from
perpetrating
violence?
D
That
they've
experienced
a
lot
of
our
work
as
you'll
hear
a
little
bit
about
later
really
focuses
on
what
we
call
retaliatory
violence,
recognizing
that
there's
sort
of
an
innate
human
response
when
we
are
hurt
or
violated,
and
we
often
feel
like
either
we
have
to
retaliate
or
people
connected
to
us,
often
feel
an
urge
to
retaliate
on
our
behalf,
and
we
recognize
that
if
violence
stays
in
that
circular
pattern,
it
is
very
difficult
to
stop
it.
D
D
This
is
also
important
because
in
the
public
health
approach,
we
really
believe
in
using
every
tool
in
the
toolbox,
so
public
health
is
not
about
an
either
or
replacing
existing
systems.
It
really
is
about
creating
an
ecosystem
where
everyone
is
positioned
to
do
their
best
work
in
keeping
our
communities
safe,
so
understanding
the
solutions
and
some
examples
of
the
violence
prevention
work
that
we
have
in
our
city.
D
We
think
about
violence
and
our
violence
prevention
work
on
a
continuum
so
you'll
hear
us
talk
about
upfront
strategies,
which
is
really,
I
think,
what
most
people
think
of
when
they
hear
prevention
they
think
of
stopping
something
before
it
ever
happens,
so
addressing
the
violence
and
taking
approaches
that
will
take
place
before
the
violence
happens
and
laying
groundwork
that
can
prevent
violence
from
emerging.
So
I
think
of
this
much
in
the
same
way
as
anthony
spoke
about
creating
happy
healthy
hopeful
communities.
D
The
second
box
is
focused
on
in
the
thick
strategies,
so
these
are
early
intervention
programs
that
are
often
used
to
address
the
first
sign
of
risk
or
as
a
response
to
immediate
issues
related
to
violence.
So,
again,
thinking
about
risk
and
protective
factors
in
the
thick
programs
really
look
at
those
communities
and
individuals
who
we
can
see,
have
high
risk
for
being
involved
with
issues
related
to
violence
and
trying
to
provide
them
with
the
resources
that
they
need
to
move
away
from
the
violence
and
towards
resiliency
healing
and
safety
and
then
the
aftermath.
D
These
are
responses
that
take
place
after
violence
has
occurred,
they're
designed
to
deal
with
the
lasting
consequences
of
violence
and
to
promote
healing
and
restoration.
So
again,
these
are
often
called
tertiary
programs,
but
are
really
designed
to
be
sort
of
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
Usually,
they
impact
a
small
number
of
people
who
have
been
repeatedly
repeatedly
impacted
by
violence
and
who
are
often
a
part
of
that
retaliatory
violence
that
I
spoke
about
a
little
earlier.
D
This
is
just
another
metric
or
or
graph
that
we
use
in
public
health
and
it's
called
a
prevention
pyramid.
So
again,
primary
prevention
is
oftentimes
what
people
think
about
as
prevention.
Generally,
that's
stopping
violence
before
it
ever
happens
and
really
helping
to
build
out
systems
that
support
healthy,
happy
hopeful
communities.
D
D
So
anthony
referred
to
next
step,
which
we
are
grateful
for
their
support
on.
They
helped
us
and
were
instrumental
in
our
design
of
our
hospital-based
program.
We
are
currently
doing
the
next
step
program
in
three
hospitals
in
minneapolis
and
those
are
hcmc
north
memorial
and
newly
at
abert
northwestern.
D
D
So
we
do
believe
that
programs
like
next
step
have
a
significant
impact
on
those
who
opt
into
services
and
who
are
able
to
get
support.
Not
only
immediately
in
the
hospital
but
long
term,
around
housing,
employment,
education,
mental
health
and
other
supports
that
help
put
them
on
a
trajectory
towards
safety
project
life,
also
known
as
the
group
violence
intervention
is
another
program
of
ours.
That's
focused
on
that
tertiary
group.
D
C
D
D
Most
of
them
are
former
gang
members
themselves
or
have
their
own
experience
with
a
group
dynamic
and
have
done
the
heavy
work
of
changing
their
selves
themselves
and
can
be
really
instrumental
in
helping
young
people
and
individuals
in
that
system.
In
that
dynamic
understand
that
change
is
possible
and
that
having
a
positive,
healthy
lifestyle
is
a
real
goal
that
they
can
focus
on
project
life's
local
version.
D
It
gives
authentic
incredible
offensive
support
for
people
who
are
ready
to
make
change,
and
sometimes
that
change
can
look
as
significant
as
full-on
relocation,
and
so
sometimes
we
recognize
that
people
need
an
out
that
is
very
realistic,
and
so,
through
the
network
of
gvi
providers
across
the
country,
we
are
often
able,
when
necessary,
to
help
people
relocate,
if
necessary,
away
from
minneapolis
to
help
them
find
what
we
call
a
place
where
they
can
be
safe
alive
and
free
and
those
are
really
the
pillars
of
gbi
is
helping.
D
we
used
2016
as
a
year
to
compare
to
when
we
look
at
our
highlight
months,
which
is
our
summer
months
may,
through
september
the
year
before
we
implemented
according
to
mpd
data,
we
had
93
group
member
involved
shootings
when
we
implemented
gvi
in
2017.
We
saw
those
numbers
dramatically
reduced
down
to
42
group
member
involved
shootings
in
2018.
We
saw
those
numbers
reduced
down
to
25
in
2019
to
27,
so
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
up,
but
not
numerically
significant
and
we're
still
waiting
on
the
calculations
from
mpd
for
2020.
D
Although
we
all
know
that
2020
was
a
very
challenging
year
and
we
know
that
those
numbers
unfortunately
will
likely
be
a
little
higher
due
to
covid.
We
weren't
able
to
do
our
work
under
the
way
that
we
normally
would.
Although
our
case,
managers
and
outreach
staff
continue
to
do
engagement
with
clients,
it
looked
dramatically
different
with
covert
restrictions
in
2020,
and
we
think
that
that
certainly
played
a
role
in
some
of
the
increases
that
we
unfortunately
saw
in
2020..
D
Lastly,
the
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
initiative,
which
is
modeled
after
cure
violence
and
an
interrupter
model
that
anthony
spoke
a
little
bit
about
in
his
presentation,
is
a
new
model
for
us
in
minneapolis
that
we
piloted
in
2020
the
minneapolis
strategic
outreach
teams
have
a
mix
of
interrupters
and
outreach
workers
who
are
trusted.
Community
members
who
use
informal
mediation
and
de-escalation
to
calm
violence.
D
The
pilot
launched
in
minneapolis
in
the
fall
of
2020.
It
was
a
timely,
visible,
positive
and
peaceful
presence
in
community
to
help
reduce
concerns
around
violence
and
right
now
we're
using
expert
technical
assistance
from
pure
violence
global
to
launch
our
next
full-on
implementation,
which
will
start
its
work
in
late
may
or
early
june
of
2021.
So
we're
very
excited
about
the
full
implementation
of
this
project.
D
Some
of
our
community
driven
strategies
for
violence
prevention
include
our
violence
prevention
fund,
we're
going
to
be
releasing
the
names
of
agencies
that
have
been
selected,
but
anthony
talked
a
little
bit
about
community
driven
collaborative
public
safety
strategies,
and
this
is
sort
of
the
offshoot
of
that
work
and
is
really
designed
to
pour
resources
into
the
brilliance
that
we
know
exists
in
minneapolis
as
community-based
organizations,
individuals,
faith-based
organizations
and
educational
resources,
and
so
in
2019
we
funded
10
agencies
with
300
up
to
325
000
total,
so
that
was
cutting
across
all
of
various
organizations
of
those
organizations.
D
They
hosted
over
a
hundred
events
and
gave
and
engaged
over
7
000
people.
They
served
over
almost
6
000
meals
and
provided
stipends
and
meaningful
skill
training
for
44
young
people,
and
that
is
our
last
slide,
which
gives
us
some
time
to
take
some
questions,
and
so
at
this
time
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
jen
white
and
stop
sharing
my
screen.
Thank
you.
A
Oh
for
giving
me
here
at
my
opinion,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
director,
cotton
and
anthony.
A
We
have
been
monitoring
the
chat
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
questions
that
have
that
have
popped
up
throughout
the
presentations.
So,
if
you
do
have
additional
questions,
feel
free
to
you
know
just
throw
those
in
the
chat
director.
Cotton.
Do
you
want
to
stop
sharing
your
screen,
I'm
trying?
Oh
okay,
you're,
trying!
I'm
sorry!
I
missed
you
straight.
D
A
No
worries,
and
so
while
she
is
working
on
getting
that
off
the
screen
there.
I
also
did
want
to
mention
one
other
initiative
that
we
have
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
that
there
there
was
not
a
slide
for,
but
I
think
is
a
really
important
initiative
and
that
is
our
blueprint,
approved
institute
and
and
what
that
work
does
is
that
it
provides
micro
grants
and
training
and
support
to
groups
and
organizations
who
have
really
great
ideas
about
how
to
work
within
their
own
communities.
A
Around
violence
prevention,
but
may
not
have
had
the
technical
expertise
or
experience
to
learn
how
to
write
grants
and
and
do
evaluations,
and
things
like
that.
So
that
initiative
provides
micro
grants
of
six
thousand
dollars
and
then
those
folks
are
entered
into
a
cohort
together
and
and
they
get
that
additional
training
and
support
and
then
they're
also
able
to
implement
their
projects.
A
And
I
know
this
was
one
one
of
director
cotton's
initiatives
that
she
started.
Recognizing
that
you
know
people
know
their
own
communities
best
and
know
what
maybe
some
of
the
gaps
are
and
what's
needed
and
just
at
times
maybe
need
a
little
bit
of
support,
and
that
initiative
has
been
extremely
successful
for
the
years
that
it's
been
going
on
and
and
we've
got
a
cohort
working
right
now
as
well
all
right.
A
So
if
it's
all
right,
we
will
switch
over
to
some
of
the
questions
and
I'm
just
noting
the
time
we've
got
about.
30
minutes
left.
So
I
think
we
can
get
through
a
good
deal
of
these.
A
A
C
A
Anthony
either
one
of
you
or
both
of
you
could
take
that
question.
B
Yeah
I'll
jump
in
because
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
day,
where
we've
got
to
be
able
to
as
sasha
and
others
talked
about,
get
those
folks
on
the
ground
who
know
how
to
get
to
the
people
with
the
guns,
because
I
don't
believe
the
10
year
old
was
the
intended
victim.
It
was
probably
caught
in
a
crossfire,
but
somebody
was
an
intended
victim
so
making
sure
that
somebody
can,
because
what
interrupters
and
folks
who
do
the
interruption
work
do
they
understand
both
sides?
B
They
know
the
would
be
perpetrated
and
would
be
victim
and
know
how
to
get
in
there
squash
that
beef.
So
if
you
could
get
more
of
those
folks
on
the
street,
they
would
be
extremely
helpful
also
as
we're
going
into
the
summer
months.
Making
sure-
and
I
know
the
team
is
working
on
this
as
well-
that
there's
opportunity
for
young
people
to
go
to
work.
We
got
to
give
folks
opportunities
right
right
now.
B
Young
people
who
are
in
this
life
and
doing
this
were
doing
this-
do
not
have
opportunities
as
the
rest
of
their
peers
and
other
folks
do
so.
We've
got
to
be
real
clear
to
identify
those
most
at
risk
of
being
the
victim
of
the
perpetrator
and
get
them
involved,
and
some
healing
work
some
real
work
where
they
can
make
some
money
and
then
get
them
in
programming,
because
you
know.
B
We
also
know
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
haven't
talked
about
is
there's
a
program
called
advanced
peace
that
started
out
in
richmond
california,
that
really
focused
in
on
the
shooters
and
put
them
into
a
nine
month
fellowship
18
month,
fellowship
I'm
sorry.
I
was
paid
for
nine
months
if
they
completed
stuff,
but
they
saw
70
reduction
in
their
homicides.
B
So
we
just
got
to
be
clear
about
who
we're
talking
about,
and
we
got
to
get
to
those
folks
while
we're
also
again
dismantling
those
systems
to
continue
to
create
this
environment,
for
the
cycle
to
continue
right,
so
making
sure
that
sasha
and
jan
and
the
team
have
what
they
need
to
really
do
their
work.
While
we're
also
doing
the
other
upstream
work
is
going
to
be
key
and
important,
but
making
sure
that
we're
just
focusing
in
on
the
people
who
are
most
at
risk.
B
We
know
these
folks
are
folks
who
are
in
trouble
and
they
need
resources
now
and
help
now,
and
we
cannot
be
caught
up
in
not
giving
them
jobs,
not
giving
them
resources,
because
we
want
that
because
they're
not
doing
all
the
right
things,
they're
not
doing
all
the
right
things
because
we're
not
giving
them
a
chance
in
the
first
place.
So
I
think
that's
how
we
get
to
the
those
who
are
causing
harm
and
who
are
in
harm's
way
now
so
that
no
other
10
year
old
gets
shot
this
summer.
D
Yeah
anthony,
I
think
he
made
some
really
good
points.
That's
circular
reasoning
of
not
you
know,
working
with
that
target
demographic
and
I
think
oftentimes
having
such
rigid
restrictions
that
sometimes
they
jump
out
of
our
programs
because
we
make
it
so
hard
for
them
to
be
successful
is
a
huge
part
of
it.
I
also
think
one
of
the
things
we're
focused
on
in
the
ovp
as
we
expand
is
that
whole
family
dynamic.
So
how
are
we
working
with
entire
families?
D
A
lot
of
programs
are
very
nuclearly
focused
on
just
the
one
individual,
and
you
know,
as
we
build
all
our
models
here
in
minneapolis
really
trying
to
look
at.
If
we
intake
you
know
the
dad
or
the
brother
into
a
program
that
we're
looking
at
every
member
of
that
family
and
finding
ways
to
resource
them,
because
we
know
that
that
will
also
be
really
important
as
we
mitigate
risk
and
protective
factors,
because
10
year
olds
being
shot
is
just
simply
unacceptable
and
we
have
to
do
more
and
better
in
order
to
address
it.
A
Thank
you
both
for
that,
and
it
really
does
take.
You
know
looking
at
just
beyond
the
individual,
but
you
know
really
the
whole
family,
because
it's
a
community
and
also
lifestyle
is,
is
a
part
of
all
of
this
as
well.
A
Our
next
question
is
around
grouping
gang
violence.
So
how
does
the
group
I'm
assuming
the
violence
prevention
portfolio,
address
the
current
gang
violence
that
has
led
to
so
many
shootings
and
who
coordinates
all
of
the
groups.
D
So
we've
got
programs
that
cut
across
our
city
and
many
of
them
are
are
in
the
office
and
so
right
before
this
meeting,
I
left
what
we
call
our
custom
coordination
meeting,
which
is
several
of
our
departments
and
divisions
and
community
partners
who
are
meeting
on
a
weekly
basis
to
talk
about
the
violence
and
to
try
to
come
up
with
joint
solutions
that
help
us
to
address
safety
in
our
community.
But
it
is
no
easy
feat
and
that's
also
got
a
lot
to
do
with
data
sharing.
D
So
as
we
really
try
to
think
about
how
we
think
through
systems
change,
data
sharing
becomes
one
of
those
really
important
factors,
because
we
know
oftentimes.
Those
who
are
high
risk
are
the
population
that
are
consistently
having
engagement
with
law
enforcement,
but
if
our
ovp
and
our
police
department
aren't
in
a
position
to
share
data
because
of
data
privacy
acts,
then
it
makes
it
very
difficult
for
us
to
be
able
to
provide
the
robust
services
that
we'd
like
to
provide
to
those
individuals
with
the
greatest
needs.
D
So
I
think
that's
one
of
the
challenges,
but
we
are
definitely
working
on
and
continuing
to
work
together.
You
know
and
share
the
data
that
we
can
share
in
order
to
serve
our
communities.
Well,.
A
Thank
you
and
the
next
one,
I
think,
would
be
maybe
great
for
anthony
to
take
on.
I
think
it's
a
little
broader
in
systems.
Why
is
there
so
much
resistance
to
get
you
know
such
programs
going
and-
and
I
guess
maybe
resistance
of
the
system
overall.
B
Yeah,
it
goes
back
to
this
idea
of
what
public
safety
is
and
what
we're
willing
to
spend
our
resources
on
these
programs
make
us
look
at
perpetrators
differently,
looking
at
perpetrators
as
they
can
be
reformed,
as
they
can
be
a
part
of
society
and
and
this
and
this
country
and
cities
have
been
so
stuck
on
one
way
of
justice
that
we
have
not
we're
not
open
to
new
ways.
B
So
when
you
come
with
folks
with
new
programming
and
new
ideas,
one
they
want
to
see,
what's
the
data
show
us
that
it
works?
Nobody
asks
that
same
data
about
about
the
police
department
right,
we
ask
for
data
about
police,
but
we
don't
hold
them
accountable
to
it.
These
new
models,
work
and
they've
been
practicing
evidence-based,
but
people
are
still
susceptible
skeptical
of
them,
because
it's
not
the
ideal
model
that
we
have
so
part
of
this
reimagining
is
helping
people
see
that
there's
a
new
way
right.
B
You
all
got
tons
of
data
on
next
step.
That
tells
us
that
the
young
people
who
showed
up
where
they
moved
to
how
they
got
better
in
life,
how
things
are
different
for
them?
They
have
not
showed
back
up
into
the
hospital
with
another
wound.
There
was
no
retaliation
from
that,
but
that,
for
some
reason,
is
hard
for
people
to
understand
and
see
because
they
feel
like
you
are
coddling
or
you
are
making
it
okay,
when
it's
not
saying
it's,
okay,
it
really
is
a
saying
a
mistake
was
made.
We
can
heal
from
this.
B
Let
us
walk
through
the
healing
process,
so
it's
just
a
new
model
and
it's
a
new
way
of
doing
business.
That
is
hard
for
people
to
get
behind
and
then
part
of
that
just
to
be
honest,
jen
is
that
it's
because
of
the
population
that
we're
talking
about
too.
B
This
is
mostly
black
and
brown
folks
that
we're
talking
about
and
this
country
is
not
used
to
giving
second
chances,
sometimes
first
chances
or
second
chances,
let
alone
to
folks
who
they
believe
have
committed
crimes
that
are
egregious
and
that
they're
not
know
they
can't
be
redeemed
from
so.
I
think
the
hard
part
of
this
conversation
really
is
that
we
got
to
deal
with
our
systemic
racism
and
and
the
root
causes
so
that
people
can
see
a
new
day.
B
B
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
to
get
there,
but
I
do
think
one
of
the
things
that
folks
on
this
course
should
really
be
doing
is
looking
at
the
next
step,
data,
the
gbi
data
that
you
all
have
and
because
it
shows
that
it
works,
and
it
shows
that
it's
saving
lives,
and
it
shows
that
it's
not
only
stopping
people
from
dying,
but
it's
helping
those
who
were
involved
in
the
lifestyle
start
to
thrive
and
find
new
opportunities
and
new
resources.
B
So
I
just
think
people
got
to
want
to
look
differently
and
look
into
the
lens
difference.
But
again-
and
it's
just
a
it-
goes
back
to
that
that
iceberg
that
we
put
up.
But
it's
just,
we
got
to
change
our
mental
models
and
change
the
way
we
think
about
what
public
safety
really
is
and
who
actually
deserves.
Second,
third
and
fourth
chances,
and
and
that's
just
going
to
be
hard
for
the
country
to
grapple
with.
D
Yeah,
I
I
would
concur-
and
I
also
think
it's
important
for
us
to
think
about
how
systems
are
structured
and
how
our
programming
really
pushes
back
against
how
we've
been
conditioned
to
believe
public
safety
works.
If
public
safety
is
purely
focused
on
punitive
measures,
then
we
know
we'll
just
continue
to
see
people
return
to
incarceration
right
because
we're
not
really
solving
the
problem.
We
incarcerate
people
we're
just
punishing
them.
D
What
we're
seeing
in
our
program,
particularly
in
the
group,
violence,
intervention
or
project
life,
is
we
maintain
an
open
door
policy
recognizing
that
people's
lives
go
through
ebbs
and
flows?
We
saw
lots
of
people
during
covid
who
had
never
struggled
before
lose
their
jobs
deal
with.
You
know,
sort
of
chronic
depression
from
being
isolated,
and
that
was
mainstream
society.
People
who
were
traditionally
completely
pro-social,
who
still
needed
a
lot
of
additional
support
to
do
well
and
for
those
who
are
already
on
the
cusp
are
already
struggling.
D
What
do
we
think
happened
with
those
people
and
what
we
know
is
that
for
our
group,
violence,
intervention,
clients
because
we
do
keep
an
open
door
policy-
is
that
we
saw
a
number
of
them
who
had
got
on
very
successful
trajectories,
who
felt
like
they
got
bumped
off
track
because
of
kovid
and
because
of
that
struggle
and
because
our
door
was
open,
they
were
able
to
come
back
and
receive
services
and
tap
back
in
and
say.
I
am
really
on
the
cusp
of
making
some
bad
choices.
D
That
would
put
me
in
a
dangerous
situation,
and
I
know
I
don't
want
to
do
that.
But
I'm
feeling
like
I
don't-
have
a
lot
of
choices
and
the
choice
that
they
had
was
to
contact
their
support,
outreach
team
member
right
and
if
we
over
program
people,
if
we
say
oh
well,
you're
only
able
to
be
in
this
program
for
six
months
or
nine
months
or
twelve
months,
and
then
you're
done
or
you
can
only
come
if
you've
been
referred
by
probation
or
the
police,
because
gvi
does
have
a
self-referral
aspect.
D
We've
got
to
continue
to
make
those
kinds
of
opportunities
available
so
that
people,
when
they're
struggling,
have
a
place
to
go
and
that
they
can
get
the
support
that
they
need
in
order
to
get
back
on
track.
We
really
try
to
think
about
many
of
our
programs
like
an
extended
family
network.
You
have
to
come
right.
You
know
like
when
you,
when
you
show
up
at
a
relative's
house
and
you're,
asking
for
help.
A
Thank
you
for
that
response.
The
next
one
is
really
or
the
next
two
I'm
gonna
combine
them
together
because
I
think
they're
related,
but
what
strategies
are
being
taken
to
address
community
involvement
at
the
city
level?
The
city
can
do
a
better
job
of
investing
in
communities
that
serve
populations
that
are
culturally
responsive
to
their
needs
and
what
is
being
done
in
the
community
to
implement
these
strategies?
What
boots
have
you
put
on
the
ground
and
how
are
they
performing.
A
Just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
answered
it
sure
yep
and
apologize,
so
it
was
kind
of
more
of
a
statement
but
saying
that
you
know
the
city
can
do
a
better
job
of
investing
in
communities,
in
particular
those
that
serve
populations
that
are
culturally
responsive
to
their
needs.
So
culturally
specific
groups
and
and
and
organizations
to
meet
the
needs
of
their
own
communities.
And
then
what
boots
on
the
ground
have
you
put
out
there
and
how
are
they
performing.
D
So
I
think
one
of
the
best
examples
that
we
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention
can
offer
related
to.
This
is
the
community
patrols
that
were
designed
to
support
community
during
the
trial
of
former
officer,
derek
shawn,
and
so
we
were
able
to
fund
seven
organizations,
all
of
them
being
culturally
specific
or
culturally
relevant
organizations
to
work
in
and
with
community,
around
peacekeeping,
de-escalation
and
trauma
and
healing
as
a
result
of
the
trial.
D
We
know
that
the
trial
created
a
lot
of
stress
and
detention
for
community,
both
in
anticipation
of
what
might
happen,
but
also
just
sort
of
living
through
the
trauma
of
being
such
a
high
profile
incident
and
having
the
spotlight
on
our
city.
You
know
just
it
invoked
a
lot
of
stress
and
particularly
for
communities
of
color.
The
high
profile,
nature
of
law
enforcement
and
military
in
our
communities
were
also
very
traumatizing,
and
so
some
of
our
groups
did
trauma
and
healing
circles
within
communities.
Some
of
them
did
them
on
zoom.
D
We
had
organizations
that
were
working
with
mosques
and
really
talking
about
you,
know,
sort
of
the
trauma
and
needs
in
that
specific
community.
We
had
folks
working
in
our
american
indian
community
who
were
really
focused
on
healing
and
smudging
and
other
you
know,
native
practices
that
help
people
deal
with
and
cope
with,
trauma
and
stress,
and
so
that's
just
one
very
small
example
of
how
we're
thinking
about
those
things
in
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
D
About
saying
that
when
we
serve
the
least
of
these,
those
who
are
not
receiving
that
the
rest
of
our
communities
benefit
from
that
as
well,
so
really
working
to
address
those
who
are,
you
know
socially
mistreated
and
untreated
in
order
to
elevate
their
needs
and
recognizing
that
that's
not
an
equitable
approach,
but
really
is
about
meeting
the
needs
of
our
entire
community.
A
Thank
you
for
that,
and
this
one
is
for
anthony.
A
Are
there
particular
actions
we
can
take
to
help
heal
the
wound
of
the
state-sponsored
violence
in
our
community,
and
I
think
that
that,
needless
to
say,
you
know,
as
we
were,
you
know
getting
the
verdict
or
nearing
the
verdict
of
of
the
of
derek
chavin,
and
then
we
had
the
officer
involved
in
brooklyn
center
of
the
young
man,
dante
wright,
where
it's
you
know,
kind
of
layers
upon
layers
and
then
also
other
incidents
happening
in
other
cities
across
the
country
that
we
all
feel
as
well.
B
Yeah-
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
consistently
have
to
say
to
mayors
and
other
folks
across
the
country-
is
that
it's
not
just
george
floyd,
that's
all
of
the
buyers,
all
the
ones
who
have
passed
before
and
since
and
it's
so
different
from
black
folks
and
brown
folks,
because
that
could
be
any
of
us
or
any
of
our
people,
and
it
doesn't
seem
disconnected
at
all
right
so
so
making
sure
that
people
just
understand
that
that
the
trauma
that
we
have
dealt
with
for
the
400
years
on
this
country
is
the
continuation.
B
When
we
see
somebody
die
at
the
hands
of
a
police
officer
like
that
right,
that's
the
same
thing
you
saw
in
jim
crow.
That's
the
same
thing
you
saw
on
the
slave
patrols.
That's
the
same
thing
that
you
saw.
You
know
as
folks
were
being
hung
and
stuff.
B
So
that
was
just
the
lynching
and
that's
the
history
of
this
country,
and
when
it
happens
it
it
breaks
lots
of
trust
that
was
trying
to
be
built
right,
because
I
think
we
have
been
as
a
people
who
and
as
people
of
color
have
been
trying
to
trust
this
city,
this
country
for
a
long
time,
and
then
incidents
like
that
happen
back
to
back
and
it
breaks
that
trust.
B
So
one
folks
who
are
not
of
those
races
or
folks
who
the
majority,
our
white
folks
need
to
be
able
just
to
recognize
that
that's
a
starting
point
and
to
give
folks
space
to
heal
and
understand
because
brianna
impacted
you
all
just
as
much
rihanna
impacted
me
here
in
louisville.
George
floyd
impacted
me
here
in
louisville
just
as
much
as
impacted
you
all
at
home.
B
B
I
actually
shared
the
document
that
we
created
around
police
involved,
shootings
and
in
custody
deaths,
and
it
walks
through
a
number
of
things
that
people
can
do
to
start
the
healing
process,
just
creating
safe
spaces
for
people
to
be,
if
you,
if
you
can
give
people
time
off,
if
you
can
give
people
time
to
step
away,
but
just
been
just
been
understanding
of
the
impact
that
it
has
on
black
and
brown.
People.
Excuse
me
when
those
incidents
happen
and
I'll
be
a
hundred
percent.
B
When
I
worked
inside
the
city
government
here
in
louisville,
it's
even
harder
for
folks
who
work
inside
the
city
government
to
have
to
get
up
every
day
and
go
into
a
system
that
it
knows
that
just
killed
somebody
that
looks
like
them,
but
we
still
got
to
go
and
do
this
work
so
just
being
real,
clear
people
that
people
need
space
to
heal,
people
need
space
to
process,
but
people
don't
want
to
have
to
be
the
one
that
explains
all
of
this
to
folks
all
the
time
either.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
goes
in
there.
So
it's
a
hard
one
to
answer,
but
it's
just
really
about
recognizing
the
trauma
and
the
hurt
and
the
pain
that
that
connects
to
400
years
of
and
not
just
an
incident,
and
that
it
impacts
black
and
brown
folks
in
ways
that
I
don't
think
folks
will
ever
understand
as
we
do
this
work
and
we
try
to
heal
in
this
work
so
giving
us
that
space.
I
think
it'll
be
important,
but
I'll
always
ask
the
faith.
B
Community
and
community
based
organizations
that
are
trusted
just
open
your
space
and
let
people
be
provide
food,
provide
space
and
just
get
and
give
them
space
to
talk
and
and
and
when
we
talk
about
protests.
I
get
so
tired
of
people
saying
it's
gotta
be
peaceful
protests,
that's
what
it
mostly
is
and
two
is
not
when
police
come
with
their
ride
gear
and
all
of
that
stuff.
B
All
of
that
stuff
happens
about
the
other
incidents
and
then
there's
also
some
folks
who
just
come
to
do
that
and
they're,
not
part
of
the
movement,
and
we
just
got
to
be
clear
that
that's
who
they
are,
and
you
all
need
to
focus
on
getting
them
out
of
the
way
and
allow
folks
who
are
grieving
to
grieve
and
protest,
because
we
continually
get
it
wrong
when
the
and
and
in
minneapolis
and
louisville,
when
you
bring
in
a
national
guard
and
when
you
barricade
cities-
and
you
tell
people
from
certain
communities,
they
can't
maneuver
you're,
staying
to
them
again.
B
You're
you're,
you're
hurting
frustration,
don't
matter,
and
we
are
really
here
to
protect
this
property
and
these
white
folks
and
not
you.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
answered
the
question,
but
check
out
the
guide
that
I
put
in
the
box.
It's
probably
got
a
whole
lot
more
helpful
too
than
I
just
said,
but
that's
what
came
to
me
as
we
were
talking.
D
Anthony
if
I
can
just
chime
in,
I
think
that
the
statement
about
making
space
for
black
and
brown
city
staff
is
such
an
important
part
of
the
conversation,
and
I
don't
often
get
too
deep
into
my
personal
life
on
these
kinds
of
things,
but
the
week
prior
to
dante,
wright's
murder.
My
son
had
a
stop
like
that
in
a
suburban
district,
very
similar
in
the
cause
of
the
stop.
You
know
a
broken
tail
light
with
his
girlfriend
called
me.
I
can
hear
the
conversation
happening
in
the
backdrop
and
the
gift
and
I'm
this
is.
D
This
is
not.
This
is
why
this
conversation
is
not
either
or
the
gift
in
all
of
it
is
that,
as
the
officer
was
questioning
my
son
and
I'm
listening
to
it,
my
son
had
the
language
and
the
officer
had
the
hearing.
My
son
said:
hey
man
with
everything
going
on
in
the
world.
I'm
just
scared.
I'm
just
really
scared,
because
this
was
right
around
the
time
that
the
verdict
was
coming
down
for
george
floyd's
death.
D
Murder.
Excuse
me,
and
I'm
very
grateful
that
that
white
officer
took
a
moment
to
hear
that
and
to
acknowledge
that
the
squirreliness
he
was
seeing
and
the
fear
he
was
seeing
was
just
a
legitimate
black
young
man
who
was
scared
and
not
him
trying
to
evade,
or
you
know,
like
he's
a
college
student
he's
not
creating
chaos
right,
but
I
just
think
it's
important
to
personalize
how
and
I
had
to
show
up
for
work
the
next
day
right
and
I
had
to
do
the
funeral
for
dante
wright
with
his
mother
right.
D
So
these
things
are
real
and
the
dichotomy
of
black
and
brown
bodies
who
work
in
government
who
work
on
these
issues
are
very
real.
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
because
it
is
an
offensive-
and
I
think
it's
important
to
highlight
not
only
for
myself
but
for
the
staff
who
work
on
these
things
across
the
country
every
day.
A
Thank
you
both
for
that,
and
it
also
speaks
to
some
of
the
coaching
that
I've
I've
experienced
been
grateful
to
experience
with
resma
minicam,
about
how
unsettled
our
nervous
systems
are
and,
and
that
trauma
shows
up
in
our
bodies
physically
in
all
of
us,
not
not
just
us
as
black
bodied
individuals
and
that
that
is
very
much
intergenerational
and
it
is
passed
along.
A
While
we
are
on
the
topic
of
healing
and
community
healing
efforts,
there
was
a
question
in
the
chat
about
the
city's
involvement
or
investment,
or
lack
thereof
in
community
healing
efforts
since
last
year,
last
summer's
uprising,
and
I
think
that
a
lot
of
times
as
a
city
entity,
we
don't
do
a
great
job
of
talking
about
the
work
or
the
groups
that
we're
partnering
with
or
funding.
A
So
one
of
one
of
the
I
wanted
to
just
address
that
there
was
today
in
the
public,
health
and
safety
committee
meeting
several
organizations
who
the
office
of
violence
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
is
funding
through
the
violence
prevention
fund,
and
that
was
approved
today,
and
I
just
want
to
mention
a
couple
of
them
that
are
related
to
healing
and
outside
of
maybe
traditional
kind
of
yoga
or
meditation,
which
was
another
comment
that
was
in
the
chat.
What,
besides
that
is
happening.
A
Sorry,
if
you're,
not
speaking,
can
you
mute
yourself?
Thank
you,
hi.
I'm
I
took
over
for
chavez
for
interpreting
this
maria
okay,
maria.
Let
me
we
will
just
have
to
have
our
tech.
Try
to
assign
you
as
an
interpreter.
D
I'll
jump
in
while
jen
is
doing
that
tech
work
and
while
I
don't
have
a
list
of
obp
fund
agencies
that
were
funded,
I
think
a
bit
of
the
point
is
that
there
are
some
things
happening,
one
of
which
is
that
next
step
does
offer
a
trauma
group.
It's
not.
It
wasn't
a
part
of
the
original
model,
but
over
time
we've
realized
that
supportive
services,
not
only
for
those
who
are
enrolled
in
the
next
step
program,
but
for
those
who
just
haven't
had
experiences
with
violence.
D
Basis
with
people
who
have
been
impacted
by
violence,
which
we
think
is
really
important
and
those
are
open
to
the
public.
Anyone
who
has
had
an
experience
with
violence
so,
whether
that's
them
as
a
perpetrator,
victim,
witness
or
loved
one,
can
receive
some
supportive
services
through
that
opportunity
and
then
jen.
I
don't
know
if
you're
ready
to
jump
back
in
with
obp
fund
programs.
A
Oh
thank
you
and
I
think,
we're
all
set
with
maria
as
well
so
appreciate
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
couple
that
that
we
are
funding
now
that
passed
today
in
committee,
siwa
aifw
and
they
will
be
offering
healing
workshops,
storytelling
circles
and
two
community
events
focused
on
south
asian
immigrants.
A
A
Leticia
carter
will
be
holding
10
healing
circle,
gathering
sessions
for
african
american
women
healing
from
the
intersectional
impact
of
community
violence,
children
affected
by
gun
and
gang
and
group
violence
and
their
own
experience
of
intimate
partner,
violence
and
then.
Lastly,
kente
circle
will
host
a
conference
designed
to
provide
space
and
support
for
black
indigenous
asian
latinx
and
other
communities
of
color
professionals
who
are
working
in
mental
health,
education,
social
work,
juvenile
justice
and
corrections
to
engage
with
community
nonprofit
and
faith
leaders
in
professional
development
and
thoughtful
community
building.
A
And
I
think
that
speaks
to
a
level
of
kind
of
secondary
trauma.
From
from
folks
who
are
working
engaged
in
this
work
and
the
and
what
we
experience
as
well-
and
those
are
just
a
few-
we
can
share
a
link
to
those
to
that
staff
report
from
the
committee
meeting
as
well
with
all
of
you.
A
So
just
wanted
to
take
note
of
that
that
you
know
we,
we
really
value
work,
that's
happening
in
community
and
particularly
around
healing,
because
we
know
that
you
know:
we've
had
a
very
tumultuous
year,
but
a
lot
of
this
is
ongoing.
Anyways,
so
wanted
to
add
that
as
well.
I
think
we've
got
maybe
time
for
one
more
question
and
just
want
to
be
respectful
of
everyone's
time.
A
I
know
we're
coming
up
on
4
30.,
and
there
was
one
in
particular
that
I
think
that
speaks
to
something
that
is
kind
of
coming
up
around
the
charter
question.
So
this
is
a
hypothetical
for
for
sasha.
Can
you
discuss
the
potential
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
violence,
prevention,
work
being
in
the
same
department
as
the
police
and
other
public
safety
efforts,
as
opposed
to
being
in
the
health
department,
as
we
are
currently
situated.
D
Yeah,
so
I
think
that,
as
we
think
about
reimagining
public
safety,
we
have
to
keep
all
of
our
options
on
the
table,
and
that
is
definitely
at
the
heart
of
a
public
health
approach.
And
so
one
thing
that
I
will
as
as
long
as
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
I
will
always
want
to
center
the
public
health
approach
and
really
that's
because
it's
rooted
in
research
and
theory,
but
also
because
it's
been
shown
to
be
effective
and
it
really
taps
into
using
every
tool
in
the
toolbox.
D
As
I
mentioned
before,
and
so
we
really
try
to
be
clear
that
our
methods
are
not
about
an
either
or
they
are
it's
not
about
non-enforcement
strategies
or
enforcement
strategies
in
isolation.
It
really
is
about
looking
at
the
spectrum
of
how
we
keep
community
safe
and
recognizing
that
we
all
have
a
role
to
play
and
that
we're
not
gonna
eliminate
existing
systems
overnight,
but
that
we
have
to
really
re-invest
in
thinking
about
what
works
and
even
the
things
that
we've
been
holding
on
to
that.
D
We
think
work
of
evaluating
their
effectiveness,
or
are
they
just
our
crutch
and
more
comfortable
with
them,
and
so
to
me
any
system
that
allows
us
to
do
a
better
job
of
integrating
a
full
ecosystem
that
would
allow
us
to
have
better
data
sharing.
So
that
means
being
anchored
under
one
department.
I
think,
could
be
a
positive.
D
I
think,
any
time
you
make
big
governmental
structural
change,
you
have
to
be
very
intentional,
and
so
I
think
the
process
that
our
council
and
our
mayor
and
other
elected
officials
are
taking
to
really
try
to
look
at
all
the
potential
ways
to
do
this
well
and
also
giving
people
choice
right.
So
putting
this
on
the
ballot
versus
just
trying
to
do
some
sweeping
decision
making,
I
think,
are
all
really
important
things
to
think
about,
but
for
us
as
an
enterprise.
D
Right
now
we
have
work,
that's
anchored
across
various
departments,
and
that
does
provide
some
really
rigorous
challenges,
and
so
I
think
any
system
that
creates
an
opportunity
for
us
to
work
better
together
is
great.
I
often
use
this
analogy
about
clinics.
I
don't
know
my
grandmothers
are
both
in
their
early
90s
and
I'm
blessed
to
still
have
both
of
them,
but
when
they
get
sick,
they
say
they're
going
to
the
doctor
and
in
actuality.
D
D
We
have
really
over
tapped
law
enforcement
in
our
society.
We've
doubled
down
on
calling
9-1-1
and
we
need
to
really
think
about
who
is
best
appropriate
as
a
response
when
you
call
9-1-1
because
much
like
a
phlebotomist,
I
would
much
rather
have
them
draw
my
blood
than
a
doctor.
Even
though
a
doctor
has
had
many
years
of
medical
training
phlebotomists
do
that
work
every
single
day.
They
know
how
to
get
the
vans
to
pop
and
how
to
make
it
all
work,
and
the
same
is
true
in
our
public
safety
systems.
Conflict
resolution.
D
De-Escalation,
those
are
skill,
sets
that
interrupters
work
on
every
single
day
and
they're
really
good
at
it,
and
they
may
be
better
at
de-escalating
than
other
people
who
are
professionals
in
public
safety.
And
so
we
want
to
position
people
to
be
successful
and
to
keep
our
communities
safe,
and
I
think
that's
what
we
need
to
be
evaluating,
how
we
get
a
system
that
does
that.
A
Absolutely
thank
you
so
much
for
that,
and
I
know
we're
running
up
on
time
here,
just
a
little
bit
over
so
just
really
quickly.
I
wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
spending
your
time
with
us
this
afternoon
and
engaging
with
us
on
these
important
topics.
A
I
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
our
featured
guest,
anthony
smith
from
cities,
united
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
here
in
minneapolis
and
for
cities
across
the
country,
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
our
director,
sasha
cotton
here
in
minneapolis
doing
the
work
day
in
and
day
out
on
on
the
ground
here
and
really
to
thank
all
of
you,
our
community.
A
It
really
does
take
all
of
us
to
prevent
violence
and
to
work
together
to
create
this
safe
community
that
we
all
know
that
we
all
want
and
can
be
together.
So
just
wanna.
Thank
all
of
you.
