DAWSON HOLLAND DAY IN SEATTLE.

THAT HE ENTERED. HE WAS KIND, HE

61
00:02:17,837 --> 00:02:23,910
ALSO MADE PEOPLE FEEL VERY 

62
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:25,145
WELCOMED. HE WAS A SON, A 

63
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:26,412
BROTHER, A GRANDSON, HE WAS A 

64
00:02:26,412 --> 00:02:27,514

66
00:02:29,115 --> 00:02:30,483
FRIEND WHO EMBODIED LEADERSHIP

00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:31,351
AND SERVICE TO OTHERS. CONNER 

68
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:33,920
WAS A PROUD GRADUATE OF RAINIER 

69
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:34,487
BEACH HIGH SCHOOL WHERE HE 

70
00:02:34,487 --> 00:02:35,989
SERVED AS CLASS PRESIDENT,

00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:36,556

72
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:40,760
STUDENT. HE LATER ATTENDED THE 

73
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,294
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, 

74
00:02:41,294 --> 00:02:42,162
PURSUING HIS DREAM OF BECOMING 

75
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:43,196
AN ATTORNEY AND USING HIS 

76
00:02:43,196 --> 00:02:44,230
TALENTS TO ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE 

77
00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:50,870
FOR HIS COMMUNITY. ONE OF 

78
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:52,171
CONNER'S PEERS ASKED HIM TWO 

79
00:02:52,171 --> 00:02:54,340
QUESTIONS -- I READ THIS IN THE 

80
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:54,974
ARTICLE -- WHAT IS YOUR STORY? 

81
00:02:54,974 --> 00:02:55,608
WHAT IS YOUR FUTURE? CONNER 

82
00:02:55,608 --> 00:02:56,709
RESPONDED VERY SIMPLE, "CHANGE 

83
00:02:56,709 --> 00:03:01,781
THE WORLD. OUR SYSTEMS ARE 

84
00:03:01,781 --> 00:03:02,382
WRONG. I WILL FIGURE THAT OUT 

85
00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:03,583
LATER, BUT IT WILL BE ONE STEP 

86
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:04,851
AT A TIME." THAT ANSWER TELLS 

87
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:06,019
YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW 

88
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:07,787
ABOUT WHO CONNER WAS. HE HAD 

89
00:03:07,787 --> 00:03:14,627
FAITH, AND HE KNEW IT WAS A 

90
00:03:14,627 --> 00:03:15,828
PROCESS. CONNER'S LIFE WAS 

91
00:03:15,828 --> 00:03:16,863
TRAGICALLY CUT SHORT ON 

92
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:18,097
MOTHER'S DAY ON MAY 10th, 2020.

93
00:03:18,097 --> 00:03:18,731
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COACH 

94
00:03:18,731 --> 00:03:19,999
CONNER WHEN HE WAS IN MIDDLE 

95
00:03:19,999 --> 00:03:21,100
SCHOOL, BACK IN SIXTH AND 

96
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:22,235
SEVENTH GRADE, AND BACK THEN, 

97
00:03:22,235 --> 00:03:23,269
CONNER WAS STILL TRYING TO 

98
00:03:23,269 --> 00:03:24,871
FIGURE OUT WHO HE WAS. HE HAD A 

99
00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:27,040
LITTLE SWAG, HE HAD A BUZZ CUT, 

100
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,941
SO HE DIDN'T HAVE THAT 

101
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:29,175
BEAUTIFUL HAIR THAT HE HAD TO 

102
00:03:29,175 --> 00:03:30,977
THE SIDE, HE WAS ROCKING THAT 

103
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:37,150
SIDE SWOOSH IN HIGH SCHOOL. BUT,

104
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:38,585
HE WAS CURIOUS AND HE ASKED 

105
00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:39,252
QUESTIONS. SO, YOU COULDN'T JUST

106
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:39,919
TELL CONNER, "REBOUND AND BE 

107
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:44,691
STRONG WITH THE BALL." HE WANTED

108
00:03:44,691 --> 00:03:45,725
TO KNOW WHY. HE WANTED TO 

109
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:46,826
UNDERSTAND HOW IT IMPACTED THE 

110
00:03:46,826 --> 00:03:47,827
TEAM, HE WANTED TO UNDERSTAND 

111
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:48,995
THE BIGGER PICTURE. LOOKING 

112
00:03:48,995 --> 00:03:55,134
BACK, THAT CURIOSITY BECAME ONE 

113
00:03:55,134 --> 00:03:55,935
OF HIS BIGGEST STRENGTHS. HE WAS

114
00:03:55,935 --> 00:03:57,070
ALWAYS LEARNING, HE WAS ALWAYS 

115
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:57,904
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SYSTEMS, 

116
00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:58,838
PEOPLE, AND HOW HE COULD 

117
00:03:58,838 --> 00:04:00,840
CONTRIBUTE WHERE HE FIT IN. AND 

118
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,308
ONE THING WE KNEW ABOUT CONNER 

119
00:04:02,308 --> 00:04:04,110
IS THAT HE LOVED BLACK WOMEN. 

120
00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:04,744
AND I SAY "LOVED BLACK WOMEN," 

121
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,279
AND BLACK WOMEN LOVED THEM SOME 

122
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:09,215
CONNER, TOO. LITTLE WHITE 

123
00:04:09,215 --> 00:04:10,583
CHOCOLATE DIDN'T HURT NOBODY, 

124
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:11,718
RIGHT? WE KNOW. THAT WAS CONNER!

125
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:14,053
WE ARE GOING TO BE REAL UP HERE,

126
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:17,423
RIGHT? [ LAUGHTER ] HIS SMILE, 

127
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:19,058
HIS HAIRCUT, HIS CONFIDENCE, HIS

128
00:04:19,058 --> 00:04:24,530
PERSONALITY, HE HAD THE RECIPE 

129
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:25,798
THAT WORKED. BUT, WHAT I KNOW 

130
00:04:25,798 --> 00:04:27,266
FOR CERTAIN WAS THAT CONNER WAS 

131
00:04:27,266 --> 00:04:28,534
A GREAT GIFT TO OUR COMMUNITY. 

132
00:04:28,534 --> 00:04:30,370
HE WAS A GREAT GIFT TO RAINIER 

133
00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:36,576
BEACH, HE WAS A GREAT GIFT TO 

134
00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:37,977
SEATTLE. AND I WANT TO SHARE A 

135
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:39,212
FEW WORDS FROM COACHES THAT KNEW

136
00:04:39,212 --> 00:04:40,213
HIM THROUGH THE AFTER SCHOOL 

137
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:41,481
PROGRAM I WORKED AT. COACH JOSH 

138
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:42,582
MARTINEZ SAID, "CONNOR WAS A 

139
00:04:42,582 --> 00:04:43,549
YOUNG MAN WHO ALWAYS RADIATED 

140
00:04:43,549 --> 00:04:45,018
POSITIVE VIBES, ALWAYS MEETING 

141
00:04:45,018 --> 00:04:47,687
ANYONE AND EVERYONE WITH 

142
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:48,321
SINCERE, FRIENDLY ENERGY AND A 

143
00:04:48,321 --> 00:04:49,322
WELCOMING SMILE. HE WAS GRACIOUS

144
00:04:49,322 --> 00:04:51,958
AND KIND AND THAT VITALITY 

145
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:53,126
PERMEATED EVERY SPACE THAT HE 

146
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:53,926
ENTERED. HIS CHARACTER MADE 

147
00:04:53,926 --> 00:05:00,266
THOSE AROUND HIM HAPPY, SMILE, 

148
00:05:00,266 --> 00:05:01,934
AND LAUGH, AND I BECAME A BETTER

149
00:05:01,934 --> 00:05:03,369
COACH AND A BETTER PERSON HAVING

150
00:05:03,369 --> 00:05:04,137
SPENT TIME AROUND AN UPBEAT AURA

151
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:04,971
THAT CONNER GAVE EVERYONE. 

152
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:06,572
PEOPLE LIKE CONNER ARE NEVER 

153
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:15,915
FORGOTTEN." LAST, BUT NOT LEAST,

154
00:05:15,915 --> 00:05:17,450
COACH ZACH TOWNSEND SAID, 

155
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:18,751
"CONNOR WAS A YOUNG MAN WHO LIT 

156
00:05:18,751 --> 00:05:19,452
UP THE ROOM WITH HIS SMILE, HAD 

157
00:05:19,452 --> 00:05:20,453
AN INFECTIOUS PERSONALITY AND 

158
00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:29,295
WAS A LEADER AMONG PEERS, 

159
00:05:29,295 --> 00:05:30,263
WHETHER IT WAS IN AFTERSCHOOL 

160
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:31,264
PROGRAMS, TUTORING SESSIONS, OR 

161
00:05:31,264 --> 00:05:33,032
THE BASKETBALL COURT. HE WAS 

162
00:05:33,032 --> 00:05:33,633
ALWAYS WORKING HIS HARDEST TO 

163
00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:34,334
MAXIMIZE HIS POTENTIAL AND LEAD 

164
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:35,368
BY EXAMPLE. HIS SENSE OF HUMOR 

165
00:05:35,368 --> 00:05:36,469
AND ABILITY TO ENGAGE WITH 

166
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:37,870
OTHERS IN A POSITIVE WAY IS WHAT

167
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:40,540
I REMEMBER MOST ABOUT CONNER." 

168
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:41,741
TODAY, WE ARE HONORED TO BE 

169
00:05:41,741 --> 00:05:42,842

BIGGEST WORRY IS THAT HE WOULD

BE FORGOTTEN, YOU KNOW, IN LIFE.

241
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:13,226
THIS IS AMAZING. JOY, THIS IS

00:08:28,107 --> 00:08:32,144
SURE, ONE DAY, HE WOULD BE UP 

248
00:08:32,144 --> 00:08:33,079
HERE WITH YOU GUYS. HE WAS 

249
00:08:33,079 --> 00:08:34,413
AMAZING. WE MISS HIM DEARLY. IT 

250
00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:36,816
HAS BEEN SIX YEARS. HIS MURDER 

251
00:08:36,816 --> 00:08:40,887
IS STILL UNSOLVED, SADLY. 

252
00:08:40,887 --> 00:08:42,121
SEATTLE, WE NEED TO DO BETTER. 

253
00:08:42,121 --> 00:08:43,489
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE 

254
00:08:43,489 --> 00:08:48,394

EPIDEMIC GOING ON WITH GUN 

259
00:08:54,767 --> 00:08:56,335
VIOLENCE AND WE NEED TO DO 

260
00:08:56,335 --> 00:09:01,007
BETTER. WE STILL LIVE IN RAINIER

261
00:09:01,007 --> 00:09:03,643
BEACH, HE WAS SHOT IN RAINIER 

262
00:09:03,643 --> 00:09:05,778
BEACH, PEOPLE ASK, "WHY HAVEN'T

263
00:09:05,778 --> 00:09:09,448
YOU GUYS LEFT?" WE ARE RAINIER 

264
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:10,850
BEACH, CONNER WAS RAINIER BEACH.

265
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:13,552
HOW CAN WE LEAVE OUR HOME? THE 

266
00:09:13,552 --> 00:09:14,921
SUPPORT WE GOT FROM OUR 

267
00:09:14,921 --> 00:09:18,157

ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE. I 

269
00:09:18,925 --> 00:09:26,032

00:09:26,032 --> 00:09:27,300
YOU KNOW, WE ARE HERE, WE ARE 

271
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:28,267

00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:47,520
GOTTEN OVERWHELMING SUPPORT EVER

280
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:54,193
SINCE WE LOST CONNER. WE LOST 

281
00:09:54,193 --> 00:09:55,494
HIM SO CLOSE TO HIS BIRTHDAY IN 

282
00:09:55,494 --> 00:09:56,929
THE MONTH OF MAY, AND AROUND OUR

283
00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:58,197
OTHER SIBLINGS, AS WELL, SO THIS

284
00:09:58,197 --> 00:09:59,465
GIVES US A DAY TO ACTUALLY 

285
00:09:59,465 --> 00:10:00,833
REJOICE AND BE HAPPY. I CRIED 

286
00:10:00,833 --> 00:10:02,735
SOME HAPPY TEARS. WE MISS HIM A 

287
00:10:02,735 --> 00:10:04,937
LOT, AND I AM WEARING THE SHIRT 

288
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:06,339
OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT 

289
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:10,943
REPRESENTS CONNER, BECAUSE I 

290
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:12,445
KNEW HE WOULD HAVE WORKED IN THE

291
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:13,079
NEIGHBORHOOD ONE DAY DOING 

292
00:10:13,079 --> 00:10:13,913
SOMETHING, AFTER HE GRADUATED. 

293
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:16,215
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING

294
00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:22,288
TO BE NOT JUST RECOGNIZED BY US,

295
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:23,823
AS SOMEONE GREAT, BUT RECOGNIZED

296
00:10:23,823 --> 00:10:25,157
BY THE CITY, AND THIS GIVES US 

297
00:10:25,157 --> 00:10:27,159

START BY SAYING, "THANK YOU."

00:11:09,201 --> 00:11:16,942
YEAH. I DO A LOT OF PUBLIC 

311
00:11:16,942 --> 00:11:17,743
SPEAKING, AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW

312
00:11:17,743 --> 00:11:25,351
THAT RIGHT NOW. BUT, I GREW UP 

313
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:32,258
IN SEATTLE. AND JIMMY GREW UP IN

314
00:11:32,258 --> 00:11:38,631

315

DECISION TO RAISE OUR KIDS, 

316
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:43,002
HERE. [ CRYING ] SORRY. LET ME 

317
00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:47,573
PULL IT TOGETHER. I REMEMBER 

318
00:11:47,573 --> 00:11:48,774
COMING HOME FROM ROAD TRIPS, OR 

319
00:11:48,774 --> 00:11:51,777
JUST BEING GONE, AND THE SMELL 

320
00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:55,281
OF THE CITY AND THE RAIN -- AND 

321
00:11:55,281 --> 00:11:59,285
WHEN YOU DRIVE UP AND SEE THE 

322
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:02,288
"R" ON THE BREWERY, YOU KNOW YOU

323
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:06,759
ARE HOME. AND I REMEMBER WHEN 

324
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:09,462
TULLY'S TOOK OVER THE BREWERY, 

325
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:15,267
AND I WAS HORRIFIED. AND I 

326
00:12:15,267 --> 00:12:16,335
REMEMBER THINKING, "HOW WILL I 

327
00:12:16,335 --> 00:12:20,539
KNOW I'M HOME?" [ CRYING ] I 

328
00:12:20,539 --> 00:12:31,083
NEVER WANTED TO MOVE FOR ME. I 

329
00:12:32,952 --> 00:12:33,919
WOULD ALWAYS GO ON TRIPS AND 

330
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,155
WOULD BE SO HAPPY TO COME BACK, 

331
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:36,789
BECAUSE SEATTLE IS MY HOME. WHEN

332
00:12:36,789 --> 00:12:43,162
CONNER WAS KILLED, WE HAD A 

333
00:12:43,162 --> 00:12:44,430
FAMILY MEETING TO DECIDE IF WE 

334
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:45,664
WOULD STAY IN THE HOUSE, BECAUSE

335
00:12:45,664 --> 00:12:47,066
HE WAS KILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF 

336
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:48,334
OUR HOUSE. AND NOBODY WANTED TO 

337
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:51,737
LEAVE. AND SO, SIX YEARS LATER, 

338
00:12:51,737 --> 00:12:54,807
WE ARE STILL THERE. AND SIX 

339
00:12:54,807 --> 00:12:58,377
YEARS LATER, IT HAS BEEN ABOUT, 

340
00:12:58,377 --> 00:13:02,982

350
00:13:34,914 --> 00:13:37,416
WHICH IS WEIRD, BECAUSE I'M 

351
00:13:37,416 --> 00:13:46,325

00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:12,651
STILL IS JUST RIGHT HERE. LIKE, 

364
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:17,623
IN YOUR PERIPHERAL, ALL DAY. 

365
00:14:17,623 --> 00:14:19,391
BECAUSE YOU THINK ABOUT IT, 

366
00:14:19,391 --> 00:14:26,098
CONSTANTLY. AND IT'S SUCH A 

367
00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:28,567
STRANGE THING, TO HAVE THIS IDEA

368
00:14:28,567 --> 00:14:31,971
THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE YOUR 

369
00:14:31,971 --> 00:14:32,605
KID GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE, SEE 

370
00:14:32,605 --> 00:14:38,811
YOUR KID GET MARRIED, AND HAVE 

371
00:14:38,811 --> 00:14:39,778
GRANDKIDS, AND OUR GRANDDAUGHTER

372
00:14:39,778 --> 00:14:40,779
IS HERE TODAY, IN CASE YOU 

373
00:14:40,779 --> 00:14:41,914
MISSED HER. SHE IS IN THE FRONT 

374
00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:46,986
ROW. [ LAUGHTER ] HE NEVER GOT 

375
00:14:46,986 --> 00:14:50,489
TO BE HER UNCLE. AND THAT'S 

376
00:14:50,489 --> 00:14:58,530
HARD. CONNER WAS BRIGHT. HE 

377
00:14:58,530 --> 00:15:04,370
STOOD OUT. HE LOVED THIS CITY. 

378
00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:08,274
HE LOVED RAINIER BEACH. IT'S 

379
00:15:08,274 --> 00:15:10,476
OUR HOME, AND IT'S STILL OUR 

380
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:16,148
HOME. AND THE CITY OF SEATTLE IS

381
00:15:16,148 --> 00:15:18,284
STILL HOME, BUT IT'S NOT THE 

382
00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:24,423
HOME I GREW UP IN. [ CRYING ] WE

383
00:15:24,423 --> 00:15:29,261
HAVE TO DO BETTER. [ CRYING ] WE

384
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:34,833
HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 

385
00:15:34,833 --> 00:15:37,236
I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE THAT

386
00:15:37,236 --> 00:15:38,070
OLD PERSON THAT SAYS OUR MUSIC 

387
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:43,575
WAS BETTER THAN THE NEW MUSIC. 

388
00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:49,214
BUT, WHAT I WILL SAY IS, I USED 

389
00:15:49,214 --> 00:15:51,283
TO BE OKAY WITH MY KIDS RIDING 

390
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:56,455
THE BUS. NOW, WE PAY $13 A DAY 

391
00:15:56,455 --> 00:16:02,561
FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO TAKE AN UBER

392
00:16:02,561 --> 00:16:04,463
TO SCHOOL THAT IS TWO BLOCKS 

393
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:05,664
FROM THE HOUSE, BECAUSE I CAN'T

394
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:11,603
LET HER WALK. I JUST -- I CAN'T.

395
00:16:11,603 --> 00:16:13,539
WE HAVE AMAZING FAMILY SUPPORT, 

396
00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:14,440

HARD JOB, I'M SORRY YOU HAVE TO

STILL RINGING IN ME, AND I WANT 

588
00:23:44,656 --> 00:23:48,160
TO HONOR AND BLESS THAT FAMILY. 

589
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,694
AND THERE IS SOMETHING I AM 

590
00:23:49,694 --> 00:23:51,730
BRINGING. I AM NOT REALLY ASKING

591
00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:56,401
FOR ANYTHING, OR A CHANGE. SOME 

592
00:23:56,401 --> 00:23:57,903
OF THE FOLKS I AM WORKING WITH 

593
00:23:57,903 --> 00:23:59,070
ARE WORKING WITH JOY AND SOME 

594
00:23:59,070 --> 00:24:05,644
INITIATIVES AROUND HOMELESSNESS.

595
00:24:05,644 --> 00:24:07,579
I JUST BRING ONE THING, AND THAT

596
00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:09,581
IS, I AM CONNECTED TO MANY IN 

597
00:24:09,581 --> 00:24:10,115
THE MARKETPLACE THROUGH A 

598
00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:10,682

THOUSAND BUSINESS LEADERS IN IT,

600
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:18,356

GIVE YOU MY CARD, BECAUSE WE 

607

609
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:35,373
THE CHANGES THAT THEY TALKED 

610
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:36,341
ABOUT, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT 

611
00:24:36,341 --> 00:24:37,342
SEGMENTED. PEOPLE LIKE TO DIVIDE

612
00:24:37,342 --> 00:24:39,010

613
00:24:39,010 --> 00:24:40,912

MY DAD BUSINESS WAS DOWN THE 

616
00:24:42,848 --> 00:24:45,350
STREET. I WAS BORN IN A SWEDISH 

617
00:24:45,350 --> 00:24:46,585
HOSPITAL. SO, I AM REALLY LOCAL.

618
00:24:46,585 --> 00:24:47,953
I WANT TO SEE SEATTLE THRIVE. 

619
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:52,958
SO, MY SIMPLE QUESTION, OR ASK, 

620
00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:54,793
WOULD BE, IF THERE IS SOMEONE IN

648
00:26:00,492 --> 00:26:01,226

OBSTRUCTION, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE,

661
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:33,992
NOT AN UNCONTROLLED CROWD. THE 

662
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:34,793
NEXT STEP WAS A CRIMINAL 

663
00:26:34,793 --> 00:26:35,961

YEARS. I LOVE MY PROFESSION AND 

686
00:27:32,784 --> 00:27:42,961
I LOVE SEATTLE. WHEN A CITY 

687

ENFORCES OVERLY RESTRICTIVE LAWS

688
00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:44,929
ON STREET PERFORMERS, IT PUSHES 

689
00:27:44,929 --> 00:27:46,064
ME AND OTHER PERFORMERS OUT OF

691
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:48,333
HAS TO BE ORDER, BUT WHEN 

692
00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:48,933
RESTRICTIONS GO BEYOND 

693
00:27:48,933 --> 00:27:49,968
REASONABLE CROWD SAFETY AND 

694
00:27:49,968 --> 00:27:50,802

00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:53,932
IT IS EXCITING TO KNOW THAT IF 

723
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:58,937
WE COME TOGETHER IN THE CHURCH, 

724
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,138
AND IN BUSINESS, AND START 

725
00:29:00,138 --> 00:29:00,739
WORKING TOGETHER, SUPPORTING 

726
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:01,406
YOU, FINDING OUT WHAT YOUR 

727
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:02,640
QUESTIONS ARE, WE CAN MAKE A LOT

728
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,275
OF CHANGE, HERE. WE SEE A LOT OF

729
00:29:04,275 --> 00:29:05,410
CHANGES EVEN DOWN THERE RIGHT 

730
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:06,344
NOW, AND TOMORROW MORNING, I 

731
00:29:06,344 --> 00:29:07,345
HAVE A MEETING WITH URBAN 

732
00:29:07,345 --> 00:29:08,947
IMPACT, WHICH IS DOWN IN THAT 

733
00:29:08,947 --> 00:29:14,018
AREA, AS WE TRY TO PUT, AS I 

734
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:14,886
SPOKE TO LAST TIME, 

735
00:29:14,886 --> 00:29:15,453
NEIGHBORHOODS, AND COMING 

736
00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:16,154
TOGETHER WITH SITUATIONS, LIKE 

737
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:17,355
THE FAMILY SPOKE TO. AND WE CAN 

738
00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:19,624
DO IT. AND WE NEED TO BE PART OF

739
00:29:19,624 --> 00:29:23,628
THE FACT THAT WE ARE DOING A 

740
00:29:23,628 --> 00:29:24,929
GOOD JOB WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING

741
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:25,897
WITH FOOTBALL, AND PEOPLE -- 

742
00:29:25,897 --> 00:29:27,165
WE'VE GOT PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH 

743
00:29:27,165 --> 00:29:27,966
WELCOMING OUR NEIGHBORS COMING 

744
00:29:27,966 --> 00:29:28,800
IN FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, 

745
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,037
EVEN AS WE SPEAK TODAY. AND I 

746
00:29:33,037 --> 00:29:34,839
JUST LEFT A BUSINESS MEETING 

747
00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:36,241
WITH JEFF AND SOME OTHERS, 

748
00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:37,642
SAYING, "HOW CAN WE COME 

749
00:29:37,642 --> 00:29:38,176
TOGETHER IN THE BUSINESS 

750
00:29:38,176 --> 00:29:38,710
COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS THE 

751
00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:39,444
CHURCH, TO SUPPORT WHAT YOU ARE 

752
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:40,211
DOING?" YOU CAN'T AGREE WITH 

753
00:29:40,211 --> 00:29:41,412
EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING, BUT WE 

754
00:29:41,412 --> 00:29:42,413
CAN CERTAINLY WORK TOGETHER. YOU

755
00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:43,982
ARE MAKING REALLY GOOD EFFORTS 

756
00:29:43,982 --> 00:29:45,717
TO CHANGE THE CITY WHERE IT 

757
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:47,118
NEEDS TO BE. JUST AS I WALKED 

758
00:29:47,118 --> 00:29:48,887
DOWN HERE, THERE WERE TWO POLICE

759
00:29:48,887 --> 00:29:52,690
OFFICERS PER PROBABLY DOWN ON A 

760
00:29:52,690 --> 00:29:53,591
FENTANYL CASE RIGHT DOWN THE 

761
00:29:53,591 --> 00:29:54,592
STREET THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY 

762
00:29:54,592 --> 00:29:58,530
HELPING HIM, AND THEY CALLED THE

763
00:29:58,530 --> 00:29:59,164
CAR AND IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE 

764
00:29:59,164 --> 00:30:00,698
THAT WORKING AGAIN. THERE IS 

765
00:30:00,698 --> 00:30:01,366
PROBLEMS, BUT THEY ARE ALL 

766
00:30:01,366 --> 00:30:02,634
SOLVABLE AND I HOPE WE CAN BRING

767
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:04,469
SOME OF THAT TOGETHER, AS WE ALL

768
00:30:04,469 --> 00:30:06,104
WORK TOGETHER. THANK YOU FOR 

769
00:30:06,104 --> 00:30:11,075
YOUR SERVICES. 

770
00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:12,076

00:30:14,045 --> 00:30:17,115
FOLLOWED BY KENDALL SHAWNEE. 

773
00:30:17,115 --> 00:30:23,888
THEN, KEITH, AND KEONDRE. 

774
00:30:23,888 --> 00:30:26,391
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, JOY. MY

775
00:30:26,391 --> 00:30:36,868
NAME IS JIM BAINES. I AM A 

776
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:38,937
MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN PARTY OF 

777
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:40,271
LABOR. TODAY, I AM HERE TO SPEAK

778
00:30:40,271 --> 00:30:41,439
ON THE SEATTLE SOCIAL HOUSING 

779
00:30:41,439 --> 00:30:43,174
DEVELOPER WHICH ON FACE IS A 

780
00:30:43,174 --> 00:30:44,042
PROGRAM THAT CLEARS THE WAY FOR 

781
00:30:44,042 --> 00:30:44,776
THOUSANDS OF SEATTLEITES TO 

782
00:30:44,776 --> 00:30:45,276
ESCAPE THE EXPLOITIVE 

783
00:30:45,276 --> 00:30:46,344
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANDLORD 

784
00:30:46,344 --> 00:30:48,613
AND RENTER. THIS PROGRAM HAS 

785
00:30:48,613 --> 00:30:49,881
BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL THAT WE SAW 

786
00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:50,882
OVER 10,000 APPLICANTS FOR THE 

787
00:30:50,882 --> 00:30:51,883
FIRST BUILDING OF 150 UNITS. 

788
00:30:51,883 --> 00:30:53,084
THIS IS JUST A SMALL STEP 

789
00:30:53,084 --> 00:30:54,419
TOWARDS HOUSING JUSTICE THAT WE 

790
00:30:54,419 --> 00:30:55,386
MUST NOT SETTLE FOR. THE 

791
00:30:55,386 --> 00:31:05,930
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TODAY OPEN 

792
00:31:12,303 --> 00:31:14,239
-- LEAVE OPEN THE POSSIBILITY 

793
00:31:14,239 --> 00:31:14,739
THAT THIS INITIATIVE IS 

794
00:31:14,739 --> 00:31:15,340
UNDERMINED BY PRIVATE CAPITAL 

795
00:31:15,340 --> 00:31:16,241
AND PRIVATE INTERESTS. MY 

796
00:31:16,241 --> 00:31:16,841
CONCERN STARTS WITH THE 

797
00:31:16,841 --> 00:31:17,442
AMENDMENT IN SECTION 4 WHERE 

798
00:31:17,442 --> 00:31:18,409
RENTS MUST NOT BE SET ON 

799
00:31:18,409 --> 00:31:19,010
OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE, AND 

800
00:31:19,010 --> 00:31:20,011
LOAN SERVICE ONLY, BUT THOSE 

801
00:31:20,011 --> 00:31:21,379
FACTORS ARE NOW JUST 

802
00:31:21,379 --> 00:31:21,946
CONSIDERATIONS, FOR HOW THE 

803
00:31:21,946 --> 00:31:25,950
DEVELOPER WILL SET RENTS. WHAT 

804
00:31:25,950 --> 00:31:26,985
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS WILL THERE 

805
00:31:26,985 --> 00:31:28,019
BE? MARKET RATE? RATES THAT ARE 

806
00:31:28,019 --> 00:31:29,220
SET BY LANDLORDS AND DEVELOPERS 

807
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:30,421
IN BOOKING TO EXTORT WORKERS FOR

808
00:31:30,421 --> 00:31:32,290
ALL THEY CAN MANAGE? INSTEAD OF 

809
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:32,957
THESE CONSIDERATIONS, WHY DON'T

810
00:31:32,957 --> 00:31:33,725
WE TIE RENTS TO THE INCOME OF 

811
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:35,059
TENANTS? WHY DON'T WE MAKE 

812
00:31:35,059 --> 00:31:35,927
HOUSING TRULY AFFORDABLE FOR THE

813
00:31:35,927 --> 00:31:36,861
WORKING CLASS? THEN, IN SECTION 

814
00:31:36,861 --> 00:31:38,096
6, WE GO FROM A CLEAR, 

815
00:31:38,096 --> 00:31:38,630
UNAMBIGUOUS TEXT, THAT 

816
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:41,299
DEVELOPMENT MUST BE PERMANENTLY 

817
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:42,333
PROTECTED FROM BEING SOLD OR 

818
00:31:42,333 --> 00:31:43,668
TRANSFERRED TO A PRIVATE ENTITY,

819
00:31:43,668 --> 00:31:46,537
OR PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. 

820
00:31:46,537 --> 00:31:50,675
CLEAR, UNAMBIGUOUS, NOW ADDS A 

821
00:31:50,675 --> 00:31:51,776
MONSTROSITY OF LEGALESE AND 

822
00:31:51,776 --> 00:31:54,012
EXEMPTIONS WHICH READ, "EXCEPT

836
00:32:24,108 --> 00:32:24,776
EXACTLY, MEAN? WILL PROPERTIES 

837
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:25,610
THAT THE DEVELOPER ACQUIRE BE

PREVENT BUILDING GROCERY STORES

00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:41,526

845
00:32:41,526 --> 00:32:42,493
KENDALL, FOLLOWED BY SHAWN -- 

846
00:32:42,493 --> 00:32:44,062
SORRY -- SEAN, THEN KEITH, THEN 

847
00:32:44,062 --> 00:32:44,329
KEONDRE. 

848
00:32:44,329 --> 00:32:51,636
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL. MY 

849
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:53,104
NAME IS KEN, I AM A CANDIDATE 

850
00:32:53,104 --> 00:32:53,971
MEMBER WITH THE AMERICAN PARTY 

851
00:32:53,971 --> 00:32:54,639
OF LABOR. OVER THE WEEKEND, I 

852
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:55,840
NOTICED, AND A LOT OF OTHER 

853
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:56,607
PEOPLE NOTICED, THE INSTALLMENT 

854
00:32:56,607 --> 00:32:59,077
OF DESIGNATED PROTEST ZONES. [ 

855
00:32:59,077 --> 00:33:01,946
LAUGHTER ] SOMEONE ARGUED THAT 

856
00:33:01,946 --> 00:33:03,614
THIS IS UN-AMERICAN, SEEING HOW 

857
00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:04,215
THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTS 

858
00:33:04,215 --> 00:33:04,882
PEACEFUL PROTEST THROUGHOUT THE 

859
00:33:04,882 --> 00:33:12,924
UNITED STATES. BUT, I WOULD 

860
00:33:12,924 --> 00:33:13,925
ARGUE THAT THIS IS THE MOST 

861
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:14,559
AMERICAN THING THAT SEATTLE HAS 

862
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:16,127
DONE IN A WHILE. TO WELCOME 

863
00:33:16,127 --> 00:33:16,761
VISITORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD 

864
00:33:16,761 --> 00:33:17,829
WITH THE ASSURANCE THAT 

865
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:27,205
PROTECTED PROTESTS CAN AND WILL 

866
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:28,139
BE SUPPRESSED IF NOT IN 

867
00:33:28,139 --> 00:33:29,140
DESIGNATED ZONES, IS VERY 

868
00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:30,541
REFLECTIVE OF THE ATTITUDE THE 

869
00:33:30,541 --> 00:33:31,909
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS HAD 

870
00:33:31,909 --> 00:33:32,543
ABOUT PROTESTING. ADDITIONALLY, 

871
00:33:32,543 --> 00:33:33,211
IT IS REFLECTIVE OF HOW SEATTLE 

872
00:33:33,211 --> 00:33:34,345
HAS TREATED THOSE CONSTITUENTS 

873
00:33:34,345 --> 00:33:35,012
OF PROTESTS. SPECIFICALLY, THE 

874
00:33:35,012 --> 00:33:35,780
COPS HAVE REPEATEDLY ATTACKED 

875
00:33:35,780 --> 00:33:36,647
PEOPLE FOR USING THEIR PROTECTED

876
00:33:36,647 --> 00:33:37,582
RIGHT TO PROTEST, TO PERFORM, 

877
00:33:37,582 --> 00:33:38,783
AND TO SPEAK. AND YOU HAVE 

878
00:33:38,783 --> 00:33:46,190
EMBOLDENED AS PD TO BECOME JUDGE

879
00:33:46,190 --> 00:33:47,558
AND JURY ON THESE MATTERS. 

880
00:33:47,558 --> 00:33:48,559
SPEAKING OF THE COPS, WHILE I 

881
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:49,627
WAS THERE, THERE WERE DOZENS OF 

882
00:33:49,627 --> 00:33:50,762
COPS JUST SITTING AROUND, DOING 

883
00:33:50,762 --> 00:33:52,330
ABSOLUTELY JACK SHIT. THEY ARE 

884
00:33:52,330 --> 00:33:53,064
WASTING MONEY. Y'ALL ARE 

885
00:33:53,064 --> 00:34:01,305
WASTING MONEY TO APPEASE THEM 

886
00:34:01,305 --> 00:34:02,240
WHILE APPARENTLY WE HAVE TOO 

887
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,040
MANY DISSIDENTS -- DIFFERENCES 

888
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,509
FOR SOCIAL PROGRAMS? THAT IS 

889
00:34:04,509 --> 00:34:15,019
RIDICULOUS. WE SHOULD NOT BE 

890
00:34:19,857 --> 00:34:21,592
EMBOLDENING COPS WHO ARE NOT 

891
00:34:21,592 --> 00:34:22,260
DOING ANYTHING. THEY ARE SITTING

892
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:23,795
ON THEIR BIKES. IF I AM NOT 

893
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:24,429
MISTAKEN, THE STARTING PAY FOR 

894
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:25,430
COPS IS AROUND $100,000. SO, I 

895
00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:26,798
GO DOWN THERE AND I COUNT EVERY 

896
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:28,232
SINGLE COP -- 100, 200, 300 -- 

897
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:29,067
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS STANDING 

898
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:30,301
AROUND, DOING JACK SHIT! WE 

899
00:34:30,301 --> 00:34:31,536
DON'T NEED MORE COPS ON THE 

900
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:32,537
STREETS. WE DON'T NEED TO 

901
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:33,538
SUPPRESS STREETS, WE DON'T NEED

902
00:34:33,538 --> 00:34:34,839
TO SUPPRESS PROTESTS, WE NEED 

903
00:34:34,839 --> 00:34:36,007
SOCIAL REFORMS. WE NEED SOCIAL 

904
00:34:36,007 --> 00:34:36,674
PROGRAMS, LIKE Y'ALL PROMISED! 

905
00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:39,877
>> THANK YOU, KEN. NEXT, WE HAVE

906
00:34:39,877 --> 00:34:41,446
SEAN, FOLLOWED BY KEITH, AND 

907
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:50,488
THEN KEONDRE. 

908
00:34:50,488 --> 00:34:51,589
>> IT AFTERNOON, COUNCIL, MY 

909
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:52,890
NAME IS SHANI DAVIS FOUNDER OF 

910
00:34:52,890 --> 00:34:53,758
HOME 1816. COMING HERE TODAY, 

911
00:34:53,758 --> 00:34:55,460
AND EVEN JUST HEARING THE STORY 

912
00:34:55,460 --> 00:35:06,003
OF CONNER, HE GRADUATED, LIVED 

913
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:19,917
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO IT'S 

914
00:35:19,917 --> 00:35:21,185
JUST A BLESSING TO, YOU KNOW, BE

915
00:35:21,185 --> 00:35:22,487
ABLE TO PRAY WITH THE FAMILY OUT

916
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:23,754
THERE. I DIDN'T KNOW THEM, BUT 

917
00:35:23,754 --> 00:35:24,555
IT'S TOUCHING, BECAUSE HEARING 

918
00:35:24,555 --> 00:35:25,556
FROM THE CHURCH AND MINISTRY, 

919
00:35:25,556 --> 00:35:26,858
PEOPLE GET WEARY WHEN THEY HEAR 

920
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:28,025
ABOUT THE CHURCH, BUT THE CHURCH

921
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,527
IS THERE TO ADVOCATE FOR WHAT IS

922
00:35:29,527 --> 00:35:30,728
GOING ON AROUND THE AREA. IT'S 

923
00:35:30,728 --> 00:35:31,729
ABOUT LOCKING ARMS WITH THE 

924
00:35:31,729 --> 00:35:32,730
NEIGHBORHOOD AND JUST BEING A 

925
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:33,998
LIGHT IN THOSE DARK PLACES TO 

926
00:35:33,998 --> 00:35:35,833
SEE HOW WE CAN BE ABLE TO HELP 

927
00:35:35,833 --> 00:35:37,034
PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING THROUGH 

928
00:35:37,034 --> 00:35:37,702
HARD TIMES BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE 

929
00:35:37,702 --> 00:35:38,703
OR EVEN HOMELESSNESS, AND THEN 

930
00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:39,770
BEING ABLE TO CREATE DIFFERENT 

931
00:35:39,770 --> 00:35:41,072
OPPORTUNITIES SO THAT THESE 

932
00:35:41,072 --> 00:35:41,739
THINGS DON'T HAPPEN, THESE ARE 

933
00:35:41,739 --> 00:35:43,040
THE THINGS WE CALL FOR IN THE 

934
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,208
CHURCH TO MAKE SURE THAT CHRIST 

935
00:35:44,208 --> 00:35:45,643
HAS CALLED US TO TAKE CARE OF 

936
00:35:45,643 --> 00:35:47,011
THE WIDOWS, TAKE CARE OF THE 

937
00:35:47,011 --> 00:35:48,146
HOMELESS, AND BEING ABLE TO DO 

938
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:49,380
THAT. SO, WITH HOME 1816, MY 

939
00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:50,615
COMPANY, WE DO VALUE FOR CHANGE 

940
00:35:50,615 --> 00:35:51,482
TO PARTNER WITH DIFFERENT 

941
00:35:51,482 --> 00:35:52,283
APARTMENT COMMUNITIES AND CREATE

942
00:35:52,283 --> 00:35:53,718
DIFFERENT PROGRAMS SO THAT WE 

943
00:35:53,718 --> 00:35:54,952
ARE ABLE TO CANCEL THINGS LIKE 

944
00:35:54,952 --> 00:36:03,761
ISOLATION THAT HAPPENS IN 

945
00:36:03,761 --> 00:36:05,029
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW? THERE IS A LOT

946
00:36:05,029 --> 00:36:06,297
OF ISOLATION THAT HAPPENS AND IT

947
00:36:06,297 --> 00:36:07,265
BRINGS LONELINESS AND THINGS OF 

948
00:36:07,265 --> 00:36:08,266
THAT NATURE, SO IT'S JUST 

949
00:36:08,266 --> 00:36:09,700
HAVING THE ACCOUNTABILITY TO 

950
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:10,468
CHECK ON PEOPLE, AND THAT IS ONE

951
00:36:10,468 --> 00:36:11,702
THING WE DO IN SEATTLE. SO, 

952
00:36:11,702 --> 00:36:12,703
BEING HERE TODAY AND SEEING 

953
00:36:12,703 --> 00:36:13,704
ABOUT THIS PROCLAMATION THAT YOU

954
00:36:13,704 --> 00:36:14,939
CREATED NOT JUST FOR CONNER, BUT

955
00:36:14,939 --> 00:36:16,207
IT SEEMS LIKE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE 

956
00:36:16,207 --> 00:36:17,408
THAT IS HERE, THAT IS GREAT, 

957
00:36:17,408 --> 00:36:18,576
BECAUSE I PRAYED OVER THE MOTHER

958
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:19,810
ABOUT HER BEING ABLE TO LINK 

959
00:36:19,810 --> 00:36:20,878
ARMS. SHE MENTIONED, ABOUT 12 

960
00:36:20,878 --> 00:36:22,013
OTHER PEOPLE HAD PASSED AWAY 

961
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:23,781
FROM THIS TIME THAT HER SON 

962
00:36:23,781 --> 00:36:24,448
PASSED AWAY AND DIFFERENT 

963
00:36:24,448 --> 00:36:25,349
VIOLENCE HAPPENING IN HER 

964
00:36:25,349 --> 00:36:26,150
NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I KNOW THAT 

965
00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:27,385
GOD, YOU KNOW, IS GIVING HER THE

966
00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:28,920
STRENGTH TO BE ABLE TO LINK ARMS

967
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,154
WITH THOSE OTHER FAMILIES TO 

968
00:36:30,154 --> 00:36:31,389
ERADICATE CHANGE, SO, YOU KNOW, 

969
00:36:31,389 --> 00:36:32,490
AGAIN, THAT IS WHAT ME AND MY 

970
00:36:32,490 --> 00:36:33,357
ORGANIZATION DO HERE, AT THE 

971
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:34,125
CITY. WE HAVE APARTMENT 

972
00:36:34,125 --> 00:36:40,765
BUILDINGS IN SOUTH LAKE UNION 

973
00:36:40,765 --> 00:36:42,300
AREA, AND OVER IN BELLEVUE, AND 

974
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:42,867
KIRKLAND, AND CONTINUING TO 

975
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:43,935
GROW, BUT IT BEING AN AVENUE TO 

976
00:36:43,935 --> 00:36:44,769
CREATE DIFFERENT PLATFORMS TO 

977
00:36:44,769 --> 00:36:45,836
RALLY PEOPLE TOGETHER IN THE 

978
00:36:45,836 --> 00:36:47,071
CHURCH, TO JUST BEING THERE FROM

979
00:36:47,071 --> 00:36:47,872
OUR OUTREACH, AND OUR 

980
00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:48,873
MINISTRIES, AND BEING ABLE TO 

981
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:50,308
MOVE FORTH IN THAT AREA, SO I 

982
00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:51,709
JUST WANT TO BLESS WHAT YOU GUYS

983
00:36:51,709 --> 00:36:53,210

00:36:53,210 --> 00:36:54,378

00:37:39,223 --> 00:37:39,790
INVIGORATING REALITY. I AM

GATHERING A COHORT OF THINKERS 

1008
00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:41,592
TO RESPOND TO THE DIFFICULTIES 

1009
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:42,693

OUR LANDSCAPE BYWAYS THAT HAVE 

1013
00:37:45,429 --> 00:37:46,664
FALLEN AWAY FROM CARE. I AM 

1014
00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:47,498
CREATING A MOVEMENT CALLED, 

1015
00:37:47,498 --> 00:37:48,299
GRASSROOTS, THAT WILL PROMOTE 

1016
00:37:48,299 --> 00:37:52,970

MORE IN PERSON SPEAKERS. 

1033
00:38:21,065 --> 00:38:21,632
BENNETT, ARE YOU SIGNED UP? 

1034
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:23,034
NOPE? ALL RIGHT. 

1035
00:38:23,034 --> 00:38:24,535
>> I MOVED TO SEATTLE AROUND TWO

1036
00:38:24,535 --> 00:38:26,037
AND HALF YEARS AGO WITH NOTHING 

1037
00:38:26,037 --> 00:38:27,905
BUT THE CLOTHES HERE ON MY BACK.

1038
00:38:27,905 --> 00:38:29,940
I MOVED HERE BECAUSE SEATTLE WAS

1039
00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:31,342
HAILED AS AS LEFT AS YOU COULD 

1040
00:38:31,342 --> 00:38:36,080
GET IN THE COUNTRY. I ONLY WISH 

1041
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:36,714
THAT SEATTLE WAS THE SOCIALIST 

1042
00:38:36,714 --> 00:38:42,520
PARADISE CONSERVATIVE THIS -- 

1043
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,154
CONSERVATIVES LIKE DAVID HAYNES 

1044
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:43,988
THOUGHT IT WAS. IN THESE TWO 

1045
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:44,789
YEARS, I HAVE LEARNED AND 

1046
00:38:44,789 --> 00:38:46,123
CHANGED SO MUCH. I HAVE SEEN THE

1047
00:38:46,123 --> 00:38:52,063
NEIGHBORHOOD IN WHICH I LIVE IN 

1048
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:53,230
-- CHINATOWN -- BE UNDERSERVED, 

1049
00:38:53,230 --> 00:38:54,298
AND PEOPLE DON'T REPORT TO THE 

1050
00:38:54,298 --> 00:38:55,333
POLICE BECAUSE THEY RARELY EVER 

1051
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,335
EVEN SHOW UP. WHILE ALL THIS IS 

1052
00:38:57,335 --> 00:38:57,935
HAPPENING, PEOPLE ARE TAKING 

1053
00:38:57,935 --> 00:38:59,003
ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE WITH 

1054
00:38:59,003 --> 00:38:59,537
LANGUAGE BARRIERS. LIKE, 

1055
00:38:59,537 --> 00:39:00,171
BUSINESS OWNERS, AND CITIZENS 

1056
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:08,279
WHO LIVE THERE, AS WELL. SPD 

1057
00:39:08,279 --> 00:39:08,913
STOP ESSENTIAL RESOURCES LIKE 

1058
00:39:08,913 --> 00:39:10,915
THE CARE UNIT FROM GOING OUT AND

1059
00:39:10,915 --> 00:39:11,549
AIDING COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE. I 

1060
00:39:11,549 --> 00:39:13,517
HAVE SEEN SPD BRUTALIZE 

1061
00:39:13,517 --> 00:39:14,418
PROTESTERS IN CAPITOL HILL LAST 

1062
00:39:14,418 --> 00:39:18,155
YEAR AND IN TWO DAYS, IT WILL BE

1063
00:39:18,155 --> 00:39:18,989
NINE YEARS FROM WHEN CHARLENA 

1064
00:39:18,989 --> 00:39:29,500
LILES WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY 

1065
00:39:31,902 --> 00:39:33,371
SPD, AND THE CITY COUNCIL SAID 

1066
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:34,371
DURING THAT TIME, "NEVER AGAIN."

1067
00:39:34,371 --> 00:39:35,639
IN THAT TIME, EIGHT PEOPLE WHO 

1068
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:36,307
WERE IN MENTAL HEALTH CRISES 

1069
00:39:36,307 --> 00:39:37,808
WERE KILLED BY SPD, MOST OF WHOM

1070
00:39:37,808 --> 00:39:38,943
WERE BLACK. TERRY CRAVER, DANNY 

1071
00:39:38,943 --> 00:39:39,577
RODRIGUEZ, RYAN SMITH, DEREK 

1072
00:39:39,577 --> 00:39:41,011
HAYDEN, IRVIN SHAKEY, ROBERTO 

1073
00:39:41,011 --> 00:39:44,215
APOLLO, JACK NEELY, AND 

1074
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:45,282
CHRISTIAN NELSON. I HAVE SEEN 

1075
00:39:45,282 --> 00:39:46,817
THE CURRENT MAYOR POSE AS IF SHE

1076
00:39:46,817 --> 00:39:48,152
WANTS TO HELP THE UNHOUSED 

1077
00:39:48,152 --> 00:39:48,786
COMMUNITY BY INTRODUCING TINY 

1078
00:39:48,786 --> 00:39:50,421
HOMES, BUT IN THE SIX MONTHS OF 

1079
00:39:50,421 --> 00:39:59,130
HER MENTORSHIP, SHE HAS OVER 

1080
00:39:59,130 --> 00:39:59,930
2000 STRUCTURES. I SEE THE 

1081
00:39:59,930 --> 00:40:02,366
CONSTANT HATE AND THREATS THAT 

1082
00:40:02,366 --> 00:40:02,967
THE TRANS COMMUNITY RECEIVES 

1083
00:40:02,967 --> 00:40:03,601
HERE IN A CITY THAT IS SUPPOSED 

1084
00:40:03,601 --> 00:40:04,268
TO BE A REFUGE FOR THEM. WE NEED

1085
00:40:04,268 --> 00:40:05,136
TO STOP PRETENDING LIKE SEATTLE 

1086
00:40:05,136 --> 00:40:06,904
DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 

1087
00:40:06,904 --> 00:40:13,310
ACCOUNTABILITY. THE CITY COUNCIL

1088
00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:14,011
NEEDS TO STOP PRETENDING THAT 

1089
00:40:14,011 --> 00:40:14,812
PROCLAMATIONS AND RESOLUTIONS DO

1090
00:40:14,812 --> 00:40:15,513
ANYTHING, BECAUSE THEY DON'T 

1091
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:16,814
SAVE LIVES, AND THEY DON'T KEEP

1092
00:40:16,814 --> 00:40:19,717
PEOPLE SAFE. THE MAYOR AND THE 

1093
00:40:19,717 --> 00:40:20,151
CITY COUNCIL HAVE A 

1094
00:40:20,151 --> 00:40:21,385
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THE 

1095
00:40:21,385 --> 00:40:21,986
MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS AND 

1096
00:40:21,986 --> 00:40:22,920
KEEP SPD ACCOUNTABLE AND 

1097
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:29,393
CLEARLY, THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE.

1098
00:40:29,393 --> 00:40:31,495
>> WE WILL NOW GO TO ONLINE 

1099
00:40:31,495 --> 00:40:32,463
SPEAKERS. SO, FIRST OFF, WE HAVE

1100
00:40:32,463 --> 00:40:34,665
ROSE. PLEASE PRESS STAR SIX TO 

1101
00:40:34,665 --> 00:40:36,167
UNMUTE YOUR SELF, THEN WE HAVE 

1102
00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:37,935
NATHAN WALL, JEFF, AND PETER. 

1103
00:40:37,935 --> 00:40:40,805
>> HELLO. MY NAME IS ROSE. IT 

1104
00:40:40,805 --> 00:40:44,708
HAS BEEN JUST OVER A MONTH SINCE

1105
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:45,709
THE MURDER OF JUNIPER BLESSING, 

1106
00:40:45,709 --> 00:40:51,582
A TRANS-WOMAN WHO WAS AT UW. AT 

1107
00:40:51,582 --> 00:40:52,283
THAT TIME, WE HAVE SEEN THE 

1108
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:53,584
MURDER OF MANY TRANS PEOPLE, 

1109
00:40:53,584 --> 00:41:00,724
SINCE. THERE WERE SEVEN MURDERS 

1110
00:41:00,724 --> 00:41:02,059
OF TRANS PEOPLE THAT HAPPENED IN

1111
00:41:02,059 --> 00:41:02,893
APRIL, SEVEN THAT HAPPENED IN 

1112
00:41:02,893 --> 00:41:04,061
MAY, AND TWO BLACK TRANS WOMEN 

1113
00:41:04,061 --> 00:41:05,095
WERE KILLED IN THE SOUTHWEST 

1114
00:41:05,095 --> 00:41:06,897
LAST WEEK. ONE WAS A TRANS-WOMAN

1115
00:41:06,897 --> 00:41:10,401
NAMED PEACHES, WHO DIED UNDER 

1116
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:11,001
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES AND 

1117
00:41:11,001 --> 00:41:12,403
NOBODY WILL SAY WHAT HAPPENED, 

1118
00:41:12,403 --> 00:41:13,504
BUT THAT IS HOW THESE THINGS 

1119
00:41:13,504 --> 00:41:18,776
WORK. ANOTHER WAS ONE OF THE 

1120
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:19,410
LOVELIEST TRANS WOMEN DESCRIBED 

1121
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:19,977
BY PEOPLE WHO KNEW, IN 

1122
00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:23,080
LOUISIANA. TRANS PEOPLE ARE 

1123
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,048
BEING HUNTED THROUGHOUT CERTAIN 

1124
00:41:24,048 --> 00:41:24,882
PARTS OF OUR SOCIETY, AND 

1125
00:41:24,882 --> 00:41:25,683
ESPECIALLY IN MORE DANGEROUS 

1126
00:41:25,683 --> 00:41:34,492
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THE CITY 

1127
00:41:34,492 --> 00:41:36,193
PASSED A LAW IN MAY SAYING THAT 

1128
00:41:36,193 --> 00:41:37,394
NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT RECOGNIZE 

1129
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:37,928
GENDER MARKERS FROM OTHER 

1130
00:41:37,928 --> 00:41:40,297
STATES, IF YOU ARE FOUND WITH AN

1131
00:41:40,297 --> 00:41:42,766
IMPROPER GENDER MARKER, THEY 

1132
00:41:42,766 --> 00:41:44,368
WILL ARREST YOU AND REPORT YOU 

1133
00:41:44,368 --> 00:41:45,169
TO I.C.E. THIS IS HAPPENING IN 

1134
00:41:45,169 --> 00:41:46,170
OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW. A 

1135
00:41:46,170 --> 00:41:47,271
SIMILAR LAW ABOUT THE I.C.E. 

1136
00:41:47,271 --> 00:41:48,038
REQUIREMENTS WAS PASSED WITH 

1137
00:41:48,038 --> 00:41:49,073
TENDENCY. WE HAVE TWO WEEKS 

1138
00:41:49,073 --> 00:41:50,307
UNTIL THE IDAHO TRANS BAND GOES 

1139
00:41:50,307 --> 00:41:58,315
IN EFFECT IN IDAHO. WE ARE 

1140
00:41:58,315 --> 00:42:00,317
SEEING THIS HAPPEN NATIONWIDE 

1141
00:42:00,317 --> 00:42:00,951
AND ALONGSIDE ALL OF THIS, THERE

1142
00:42:00,951 --> 00:42:02,186
ARE PEOPLE SETTING UP CEMETERIES

1143
00:42:02,186 --> 00:42:03,988
AND NAMES ON THE DOORS OF CAL 

1144
00:42:03,988 --> 00:42:05,022
ANDERSON ON THE PUMPHOUSE AS 

1145
00:42:05,022 --> 00:42:06,390
PEOPLE GO MISSING IN OUR 

1146
00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:11,161
COMMUNITY. THERE ARE PEOPLE 

1147
00:42:11,161 --> 00:42:12,663
DISAPPEARING LEFT AND RIGHT, 

1148
00:42:12,663 --> 00:42:17,201
PEOPLE BEING MURDERED, AND THERE

1149
00:42:17,201 --> 00:42:21,138
NEEDS TO BE ACTION BY THE CITY 

1150
00:42:21,138 --> 00:42:22,039
TO HELP TRANS PEOPLE. BECAUSE 

1151
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:28,178
RIGHT NOW, WE FEEL ALONE. WE 

1152
00:42:28,178 --> 00:42:29,413
FEEL LIKE NOBODY IS THERE FOR 

1153
00:42:29,413 --> 00:42:30,447
US. WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE 

1154
00:42:30,447 --> 00:42:31,448
COMPLETELY ABANDONED AND THINGS 

1155
00:42:31,448 --> 00:42:32,383
ARE GETTING WORSE. WE HAD THE 

1156
00:42:32,383 --> 00:42:37,154
EMERGENCY DECLARATION THAT WAS 

1157
00:42:37,154 --> 00:42:38,355
PROPOSED BY THE LGBT COMMISSION 

1158
00:42:38,355 --> 00:42:39,590
AND NOTHING HAS COME FROM IT. WE

1159
00:42:39,590 --> 00:42:41,025
NEED YOU ALL AND THE MAYOR TO 

1160
00:42:41,025 --> 00:42:42,660
GET ON BOARD, BECAUSE THIS IS 

1161
00:42:42,660 --> 00:42:43,961
STARTING TO GET REALLY BAD, AND 

1162
00:42:43,961 --> 00:42:45,162
IF WE DON'T, IT'S ONLY GOING 

1163
00:42:45,162 --> 00:42:46,630
TO GET WORSE. 

1164
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:48,165
>> THANK YOU, ROSE. IF THERE IS 

1165
00:42:48,165 --> 00:42:48,766
NO OBJECTION, COUNCILMEMBER 

1166
00:42:48,766 --> 00:42:51,502
RIVERA WILL BE EXCUSED FOR THE 

1167
00:42:51,502 --> 00:42:53,537
REST OF THE MEETING. HEARING 

1168
00:42:53,537 --> 00:43:03,380
NONE. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA IS 

1169
00:43:03,380 --> 00:43:04,648
EXCUSED. NEXT, WE HAVE NATHAN 

1170
00:43:04,648 --> 00:43:05,583
WALL, FOLLOWED BY JEFF. WE 

1171
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:07,217
DON'T SEE THEM. NOT PRESENT. I 

1172
00:43:07,217 --> 00:43:08,452
WILL CALL YOU ALL, AGAIN. NATHAN

1173
00:43:08,452 --> 00:43:11,755
WALL, JEFF, AND PETER? NO? OKAY.

1174
00:43:11,755 --> 00:43:13,123
ARE THERE ANY MORE SPEAKERS 

1175
00:43:13,123 --> 00:43:14,158
SIGNED UP THAT ARE IN CHAMBERS? 

1176
00:43:14,158 --> 00:43:15,426
WE WILL DOUBLE CHECK, JUST WAIT,

1177
00:43:15,426 --> 00:43:16,627
GIVE US A SECOND, BEFORE WE 

1178
00:43:16,627 --> 00:43:17,795
TRANSITION FROM -- NOPE? OKAY. 

1179
00:43:17,795 --> 00:43:18,729
AWESOME. WELL, FIRST OFF, THANK 

1180
00:43:18,729 --> 00:43:20,531
YOU, ALL, FOR COMING DOWN AND 

1181
00:43:20,531 --> 00:43:24,435
DOING PUBLIC COMMENT. LIKE ALL 

1182
00:43:24,435 --> 00:43:25,402
PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE GET, WE 

1183
00:43:25,402 --> 00:43:26,637
REALLY -- BENNETT, DID YOU WANT 

1184
00:43:26,637 --> 00:43:29,473
TO -- DID YOU WANT TO SIGN UP, 

1185
00:43:29,473 --> 00:43:36,547
BEFORE WE CLOSE IT? 

1186
00:43:36,547 --> 00:43:38,015
>> I THOUGHT I HAD TIME TO GO 

1187
00:43:38,015 --> 00:43:39,216
GET WATER, BUT EVERYBODY ELSE --

1188
00:43:39,350 --> 00:43:40,451
>> NO, THEY ARE NOT PRESENT. 

1189
00:43:40,451 --> 00:43:41,952
THAT IS WHY WE WAITED. 

1190
00:43:41,952 --> 00:43:44,088
>> [ INAUDIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] 

1191
00:43:44,088 --> 00:43:45,222
>> BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T CLOSED THE

1192
00:43:45,222 --> 00:43:45,723
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. 

1193
00:43:45,723 --> 00:43:50,294
>> [ INAUDIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] 

1194
00:43:50,294 --> 00:43:51,261
>> GO AHEAD, BENNETT, THEN WE 

1195
00:43:51,261 --> 00:43:52,496
WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT 

1196
00:43:52,496 --> 00:43:56,367
PERIOD. 

1197
00:43:56,367 --> 00:43:58,268
>> ALL RIGHT, SO, I DID WANT TO 

1198
00:43:58,268 --> 00:43:59,069
ADD SOMETHING TO THE DISCUSSION 

1199
00:43:59,069 --> 00:44:01,038
LAST WEEK ABOUT DATA CENTERS. I 

1200
00:44:01,038 --> 00:44:08,946
DO THINK YOU REACHED THE CORRECT

1201
00:44:08,946 --> 00:44:09,813
-- IS THE TIMER ON? 

1202
00:44:09,813 --> 00:44:10,648
>> GIVE US ONE SECOND. I 

1203
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:12,082
APOLOGIZE. WE WILL DO TWO 

1204
00:44:12,082 --> 00:44:12,349
MINUTES. 

1205
00:44:12,349 --> 00:44:13,584
>> I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE 

1206
00:44:13,584 --> 00:44:14,018
TIMER, NOW. SORRY. 

1207
00:44:14,018 --> 00:44:24,561
>> I WILL JUST TIME MYSELF, STOP

1208
00:44:28,699 --> 00:44:29,166
IT AT EXACTLY 2 MINUTES. 

1209
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:30,000
>> NO, NO, NO. GIVE US ONE 

1210
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,435
SECOND. WE WILL GET THE TIMER. 

1211
00:44:31,435 --> 00:44:33,303
YOU ARE GOOD. WE GOT YOU. GIVE 

1212
00:44:33,303 --> 00:44:33,971
US ONE SECOND. OKAY. YOU CAN GO 

1213
00:44:33,971 --> 00:44:34,938
AHEAD AND START, WHEN YOU START,

1214
00:44:34,938 --> 00:44:35,539
IT WILL GO. 

1215
00:44:35,539 --> 00:44:36,573
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, 

1216
00:44:36,573 --> 00:44:37,641
COUNCIL. I WANTED TO ADD 

1217
00:44:37,641 --> 00:44:38,442
SOMETHING TO THE DISCUSSION 

1218
00:44:38,442 --> 00:44:39,677
ABOUT DATA CENTERS LAST WEEK, 

1219
00:44:39,677 --> 00:44:41,078
BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, I DO THINK

1220
00:44:41,078 --> 00:44:42,312
IT WOULD BE -- SHORT FORM 

1221
00:44:42,312 --> 00:44:43,514
MORATORIUM WAS THE RIGHT 

1222
00:44:43,514 --> 00:44:44,581
DECISION, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS 

1223
00:44:44,581 --> 00:44:45,716
SHORT-TERM, THIS IS GOING TO 

1224
00:44:45,716 --> 00:44:47,017
COME UP AGAIN, SO I THINK THERE 

1225
00:44:47,017 --> 00:44:48,619
IS ROOM FOR A MORE NUANCED 

1226
00:44:48,619 --> 00:44:49,453
DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. I THINK A

1227
00:44:49,453 --> 00:44:50,754
LOT OF PEOPLE'S REVULSION, 

1228
00:44:50,754 --> 00:44:57,995
FRANKLY, TOWARD A.I. IS BASED ON

1229
00:44:57,995 --> 00:44:59,129
THE FACT THAT THE MOST VISIBLE 

1230
00:44:59,129 --> 00:45:00,431
ASPECTS OF IT THAT WE SEE ARE 

1231
00:45:00,431 --> 00:45:01,565
THE MOST HARMFUL. THERE ARE 

1232
00:45:01,565 --> 00:45:02,533
PEOPLE USING A.I. TO GENERATE 

1233
00:45:02,533 --> 00:45:03,534
HOAXES AND DECEPTIVE CONTENT ON 

1234
00:45:03,534 --> 00:45:04,535
THE INTERNET, OR PEOPLE USING 

1235
00:45:04,535 --> 00:45:15,045
A.I. TO POWER BOTS THAT ARGUE 

1236
00:45:21,885 --> 00:45:22,553
WITH EACH OTHER ONLINE TO 

1237
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:23,554
GENERATE CONTROVERSY AND 

1238
00:45:23,554 --> 00:45:24,154
GENERATE AD REVENUE FOR THE 

1239
00:45:24,154 --> 00:45:25,255
PEOPLE RUNNING THE BOTS, THAT IS

1240
00:45:25,255 --> 00:45:26,423
WHAT IS MOST VISIBLE FOR THE 

1241
00:45:26,423 --> 00:45:27,691
AVERAGE PERSON. THERE IS A LOT 

1242
00:45:27,691 --> 00:45:28,959
OF STUFF BEHIND THE SCENE THAT 

1243
00:45:28,959 --> 00:45:30,094
IS VERY BENEFICIAL. IT IS USED 

1244
00:45:30,094 --> 00:45:31,161
IN MEDICAL RESEARCH TO SOLVE 

1245
00:45:31,161 --> 00:45:31,929
THINGS LIKE PROTEIN HOLDING 

1246
00:45:31,929 --> 00:45:32,963
PROBLEMS. THERE WAS A RECENT 

1247
00:45:32,963 --> 00:45:33,997
ARTICLE ABOUT HOW A.I. IS 

1248
00:45:33,997 --> 00:45:35,065
EMPOWERING THE SEARCH FOR NEW 

1249
00:45:35,065 --> 00:45:36,100
ANTIBIOTICS. I'M NOT AN EXPERT 

1250
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:37,701
ON THIS. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE 

1251
00:45:37,701 --> 00:45:39,103
NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, WHERE 

1252
00:45:39,103 --> 00:45:39,803
OLD-SCHOOL RESEARCHERS HAD TO 

1253
00:45:39,803 --> 00:45:40,904
MODERATE -- MANUALLY COME UP 

1254
00:45:40,904 --> 00:45:42,372
WITH NEW MARK BOYLE -- I CAN DO 

1255
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:43,707
THE WORK THAT THE HUMANS WERE 

1256
00:45:43,707 --> 00:45:44,575
DOING. ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE 

1257
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:45,709
FASTER THAN THEY WERE EVER DOING

1258
00:45:45,709 --> 00:45:46,810
THAT BEFORE. THERE ARE REAL, 

1259
00:45:46,810 --> 00:45:47,945
BENEFICIAL USES TO A.I. NOW, IT 

1260
00:45:47,945 --> 00:45:49,413
IS TRUE THAT A DATA CENTER CAN 

1261
00:45:49,413 --> 00:45:50,380
HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON THE 

1262
00:45:50,380 --> 00:45:51,448
PEOPLE LIVING ON THE PROPERTIES 

1263
00:45:51,448 --> 00:45:53,016
AROUND WHERE THE DATA CENTER IS 

1264
00:45:53,016 --> 00:45:56,620
BUILT, BUT I THINK THE CORRECT 

1265
00:45:56,620 --> 00:45:57,855
CHOICE THERE IS JUST TO SIMPLY 

1266
00:45:57,855 --> 00:45:58,956
MAKE SURE WE COMPENSATE ALL 

1267
00:45:58,956 --> 00:46:00,157
THOSE PEOPLE IF THAT HAPPENS. IF

1268
00:46:00,157 --> 00:46:01,158
THEY THINK AN EMINENT DOMAIN 

1269
00:46:01,158 --> 00:46:02,226
PURCHASE OF THEIR HOUSE IS NOT 

1270
00:46:02,226 --> 00:46:03,460
ENOUGH MONEY, I MEAN, YOU CAN 

1271
00:46:03,460 --> 00:46:04,762
PAY THEM TWO, THREE TIMES WHAT 

1272
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:05,762
EMINENT DOMAIN WOULD HAVE PAID 

1273
00:46:05,762 --> 00:46:06,964
FOR THEIR HOUSES. THIS IS A 

1274
00:46:06,964 --> 00:46:07,531
HISTORICALLY UNPRECEDENTED 

1275
00:46:07,531 --> 00:46:08,599
SITUATION. YOU CAN WAY OVER PAY 

1276
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:09,833
THEM FOR THE VALUE OF THEIR 

1277
00:46:09,833 --> 00:46:10,934
HOUSE AND EVEN AFTER FACTORING 

1278
00:46:10,934 --> 00:46:16,039
IN THOSE COSTS, IF YOU ARE USING

1279
00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:17,307
A.I. FOR PURPOSES THAT BENEFIT 

1280
00:46:17,307 --> 00:46:18,408
HUMANITY, WE WILL STILL COME OUT

1281
00:46:18,408 --> 00:46:19,676
WAY AHEAD EVEN AFTER WE BUY OUT 

1282
00:46:19,676 --> 00:46:20,611
EVERYBODY'S HOUSE THAT HAS TO 

1283
00:46:20,611 --> 00:46:22,045
MOVE. SO, ON A LIGHTER NOTE, I 

1284
00:46:22,045 --> 00:46:23,313
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THE FIRST 

1285

CHANGES TO THE CHARTER WHICH 

1473
00:51:56,646 --> 00:51:57,447
PASSED UNANIMOUSLY LAST WEEK 

1474
00:51:57,447 --> 00:51:58,515
THROUGH THE HOUSING ARTS AND 

1475
00:51:58,515 --> 00:51:59,282
CIVIL RIGHTS COMMITTEE. THIS 

1476
00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:03,153
RESOLUTION APPROVES CHANGES THAT

1477
00:52:03,153 --> 00:52:04,387
WERE RECOMMENDED TO US BY THE 

1478
00:52:04,387 --> 00:52:05,789
BOARD OF THE SEATTLE SOCIAL 

1479
00:52:05,789 --> 00:52:07,023
HOUSING DEVELOPER, AND THEY ARE 

1480
00:52:07,023 --> 00:52:07,657
DESIGNED TO HELP THE DEVELOPER 

1481
00:52:07,657 --> 00:52:08,425
SUCCESSFULLY DELIVER ON THE 

1482
00:52:08,425 --> 00:52:08,925
PROMISE OF PERMANENTLY 

1483
00:52:08,925 --> 00:52:09,493
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH 

1484
00:52:09,493 --> 00:52:11,528
SOCIAL HOUSING IN OUR CITY. 

1485
00:52:11,528 --> 00:52:12,095
THESE CHANGES DO A FEW KEY 

1486
00:52:12,095 --> 00:52:12,762
THINGS. INCLUDING, ALLOWING THE 

1487
00:52:12,762 --> 00:52:13,363
SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPER TO 

1488
00:52:13,363 --> 00:52:14,598
ALLOW RENTAL RATES TO BE BASED 

1489
00:52:14,598 --> 00:52:16,066
ON MORE THAN JUST THE COST OF 

1490
00:52:16,066 --> 00:52:16,833
BUILDING OPERATIONS. THIS ALLOWS

1491
00:52:16,833 --> 00:52:19,903
FOR COST SUBSIDIZATION OF 

1492
00:52:19,903 --> 00:52:21,137
BUILDINGS OR THE USE OF REVENUE 

1493
00:52:21,137 --> 00:52:22,305
TO SUPPORT BOND PAYMENTS. THIS 

1494
00:52:22,305 --> 00:52:23,173
FACILITATES THE ABILITY FOR THE 

1495
00:52:23,173 --> 00:52:24,040
SOCIAL HOUSING DEVELOPER TO 

1496
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:24,741
CREATE CONDOMINIUM STRUCTURES 

1497
00:52:24,741 --> 00:52:26,176
FOR PROPERTIES, WHICH IS REALLY 

1498
00:52:26,176 --> 00:52:36,453
EXCITING BECAUSE THAT IS AN 

1499
00:52:36,453 --> 00:52:38,455
IMPORTANT TOOL SO THAT THEY CAN 

1500
00:52:38,455 --> 00:52:38,989
CREATE BUILDINGS THAT ARE 

1501
00:52:38,989 --> 00:52:40,457
ATTRACTIVE TO RESIDENTS, 

1502
00:52:40,457 --> 00:52:41,091
INCLUDING OTHER POTENTIAL GROUND

1503
00:52:41,091 --> 00:52:42,092
FLOOR USES, WHICH WE BELIEVE 

1504
00:52:42,092 --> 00:52:42,993
REALLY SUPPORTS LIVABILITY AT 

1505
00:52:42,993 --> 00:52:43,627
THE SAME TIME THAT IT SUPPORTS 

1506
00:52:43,627 --> 00:52:44,294
AFFORDABILITY. AND LASTLY, THIS 

1507
00:52:44,294 --> 00:52:45,262
ALLOWS THE SOCIAL HOUSING 

1508
00:52:45,262 --> 00:52:46,062
DEVELOPER TO USE PROPERTIES FOR 

1509
00:52:46,062 --> 00:52:46,997
DEBT COLLATERAL, IF NEEDED. 

1510
00:52:46,997 --> 00:52:51,034
WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL IN 

1511
00:52:51,034 --> 00:52:51,535
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND 

1512
00:52:51,535 --> 00:52:52,435

CRITICAL TO THE LONG-TERM
