1
00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:08,339
Good morning, everyone.

2
00:00:08,339 --> 00:00:09,179
Good morning.

3
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:11,884
Oh, okay, so I have to tell
you, so this is, we've just

4
00:00:11,884 --> 00:00:15,240
come back from council recess,
and I couldn't think of a more

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,678
exciting way to come back than
to celebrate with this bill

6
00:00:18,678 --> 00:00:21,280
signing of our Do
Not Solicit bill.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,739
So I want to start off by saying
this was a piece of legislation

8
00:00:23,739 --> 00:00:26,652
that was really important to
me because it's something

9
00:00:26,652 --> 00:00:29,199
that I heard about a
lot before I got into

10
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:31,277
office and it's something
that I experienced and

11
00:00:31,277 --> 00:00:34,320
I watched my neighbors
experience the repeated

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,978
calls this over solicitation
the pressure that lands on

13
00:00:38,978 --> 00:00:41,255
our homeowners and I'm
really excited today to

14
00:00:41,255 --> 00:00:44,332
be signing this bill to do
something about this I've

15
00:00:44,332 --> 00:00:47,700
said a lot of times this
work that we are bringing

16
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,112
forward and that we passed
at Council, it didn't start

17
00:00:51,112 --> 00:00:51,643
with me.

18
00:00:51,643 --> 00:00:54,654
This work started with
grassroots community

19
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:58,320
organizing and neighbors
saying, "Hey, have you been

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,536
getting text messages?

21
00:00:59,536 --> 00:01:00,878
I can't stop getting these

22
00:01:00,878 --> 00:01:01,731
text messages."

23
00:01:01,731 --> 00:01:03,798
It started with
people organizing

24
00:01:03,798 --> 00:01:07,438
because they had put their
money, their resources,

25
00:01:07,438 --> 00:01:11,209
their time, their heart,
their wealth into buying

26
00:01:11,209 --> 00:01:14,799
a home, and people were
fighting to hold on to it.

27
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,108
And this legislation is designed
to make it a little bit easier

28
00:01:18,108 --> 00:01:20,209
for those neighbors
to stay in place.

29
00:01:20,209 --> 00:01:22,590
So what we're doing
today as a city

30
00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:25,739
is a big step forward,
and I want to express my

31
00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:29,287
appreciation to some of
the folks who are here

32
00:01:29,287 --> 00:01:32,974
behind me, to the Black
Homeowner Policy Council,

33
00:01:32,974 --> 00:01:36,640
to Rainier Beach Action
Coalition and MCC, folks who

34
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,534
organized and actually wrote
a report about disaster

35
00:01:39,534 --> 00:01:42,400
gentrification maybe a
decade ago and said this

36
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,534
is a thing we need
to be taking on.

37
00:01:44,534 --> 00:01:47,174
I want to express my
appreciation to Puget

38
00:01:47,174 --> 00:01:49,879
Sound Sage and the and
Chukundi and the

39
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:53,319
Black Homeowners Policy
Council, and everyone who

40
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:55,560
organized to make this possible.

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,387
Over the last six months since
we started working on the Do

42
00:01:58,387 --> 00:02:01,516
Not Solicit idea, our office
has heard from homeowners in

43
00:02:01,516 --> 00:02:04,879
every part of the city who have
told us stories about over

44
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:08,019
solicitation. We
heard from people who

45
00:02:08,019 --> 00:02:12,461
came home to receive signed
offer letters that said,

46
00:02:12,461 --> 00:02:16,199
per our conversation, please
sign and return this.

47
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:19,675
And the only problem was they
had never had a conversation.

48
00:02:19,675 --> 00:02:22,234
People were just showing
up and doing this.

49
00:02:22,234 --> 00:02:24,574
We heard from people
who said folks have

50
00:02:24,574 --> 00:02:26,705
come and left candy
on our doorstep.

51
00:02:26,705 --> 00:02:28,764
Folks have talked
to our children.

52
00:02:28,764 --> 00:02:31,461
People call my kid who
lives in another state.

53
00:02:31,461 --> 00:02:33,306
And we just can't
get it to stop.

54
00:02:33,306 --> 00:02:35,864
Right. And people deserve
to live in peace.

55
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:37,354
People deserve privacy.

56
00:02:37,354 --> 00:02:40,264
And they deserve to, as we
say, enjoy their rent or

57
00:02:40,264 --> 00:02:41,614
enjoy their mortgage.

58
00:02:41,614 --> 00:02:43,348
Right. So this is going to be a

59
00:02:43,348 --> 00:02:45,240
really important part of that.

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,181
Homeownership is a vital
tool for generational wealth

61
00:02:48,181 --> 00:02:51,060
building and fostering deep
community connections.

62
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:54,780
I myself only own my home
because I got city investment.

63
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:57,657
And so I know the investment
that we are making today

64
00:02:57,657 --> 00:03:00,264
is going to be something
that helps protect our

65
00:03:00,264 --> 00:03:02,139
communities for decades to come.

66
00:03:02,139 --> 00:03:05,204
So I want to express everyone
for their organizing on

67
00:03:05,204 --> 00:03:08,336
this for their work express
my gratitude to my team for

68
00:03:08,336 --> 00:03:11,008
helping make this possible
And most of all I want

69
00:03:11,008 --> 00:03:13,395
to express my gratitude
to the homeowners who

70
00:03:13,395 --> 00:03:16,139
lifted up the need for this
I mean who we look forward

71
00:03:16,139 --> 00:03:18,800
to working hand-in-hand
with on implementation

72
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,937
And I also want to express my
gratitude to the mayor's office

73
00:03:21,937 --> 00:03:24,335
and introduce mayor Wilson
who's going to be talking

74
00:03:24,335 --> 00:03:26,300
about the partnership
that made this possible.

75
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:26,560
Thank you.

76
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:32,657
Thank you, and good morning.

77
00:03:34,318 --> 00:03:39,060
Well, I'm very excited to be
here today to eventually sign

78
00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:41,717
this very important piece
of legislation championed

79
00:03:41,717 --> 00:03:42,860
by Councilmember Foster.

80
00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:47,699
I think the experience of too
many people in our high cost

81
00:03:47,699 --> 00:03:50,340
city is one of insecurity,
growing insecurity.

82
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:52,000
And that can look a lot of ways.

83
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,758
That can look like a renter
who's not sure how they're

84
00:03:54,758 --> 00:03:57,139
going to pay their rent
at the end of the month.

85
00:03:57,139 --> 00:03:59,572
That can look like not
being sure where you're

86
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:00,979
going to sleep that night.

87
00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:03,151
That can look like not being
sure where your next good

88
00:04:03,151 --> 00:04:04,240
meal is going to come from.

89
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,905
And it can look like not knowing
how you're going to pay your

90
00:04:08,905 --> 00:04:12,080
mortgage and your property
taxes and worrying that you

91
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,740
might have to sell your home.

92
00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:17,959
And in that situation, the last
thing you need is unscrupulous

93
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:22,180
actors preying on you and taking
advantage of your situation.

94
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:23,060
And that's why we're here today.

95
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:27,367
We've heard from homeowners
across the city who

96
00:04:27,367 --> 00:04:29,939
receive relentless,
unwanted calls, texts,

97
00:04:29,939 --> 00:04:32,783
and knocks on the door urging
them to sell their houses.

98
00:04:32,783 --> 00:04:34,759
Many describe these
solicitations as

99
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:37,451
stressful, fear-inducing,
and invasive.

100
00:04:37,451 --> 00:04:39,548
One person said it
felt like being

101
00:04:39,548 --> 00:04:41,891
hunted. Everyone in
Seattle deserves peace,

102
00:04:41,891 --> 00:04:43,427
dignity, and privacy
in their home.

103
00:04:43,427 --> 00:04:44,959
Your home should be
a place where

104
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,800
you feel grounded and safe, not
a place where you're pressured

105
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,040
or made to feel like a target.

106
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,120
So the ordinance that I
am pleased to sign today

107
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,019
supports Seattle homeowners
and our housing goals

108
00:04:55,019 --> 00:04:57,079
by strengthening
housing stability.

109
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:59,220
It creates a citywide
do not solicit list

110
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:00,399
so that homeowners
can set a boundary

111
00:05:01,459 --> 00:05:03,399
against predatory real
estate solicitation

112
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:05,240
and have the freedom
to pursue legal action

113
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680
if that boundary is crossed.

114
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,540
So I want to also thank
all of the advocates.

115
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,838
Councilmember
Foster listed many,

116
00:05:12,838 --> 00:05:14,624
so I'm not going to list
them all, but Black

117
00:05:14,624 --> 00:05:16,560
Legacy Homeowners, the
Beacon Hill Council,

118
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,725
Puget Sound Sage, many more
whose work has supported the

119
00:05:20,725 --> 00:05:23,120
process of this idea of becoming

120
00:05:24,139 --> 00:05:27,411
legislation. I want to thank
again Council Member Foster

121
00:05:27,411 --> 00:05:30,540
for her leadership on this, for
partnering closely with our

122
00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:33,259
communities across the city,
and for our Seattle Office

123
00:05:33,259 --> 00:05:36,199
of Civil Rights, which is going
to be leading on enforcement,

124
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,860
and I know has been extremely
helpful as this legislation has

125
00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:41,300
been developed.

126
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,600
And so with that, I would like
to introduce Interim Director

127
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,899
Mike Chin from the Seattle
Office of Civil Rights.

128
00:05:46,899 --> 00:05:53,639
Good
morning, everyone.

129
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720
For many families, a home
is more than a property.

130
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,999
It's a source of stability,
economic security,

131
00:06:00,999 --> 00:06:04,360
cultural continuity, and
generational wealth.

132
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,437
This is important because
for so many generations,

133
00:06:07,437 --> 00:06:10,660
Seattle's history of white
supremacy, segregation,

134
00:06:10,660 --> 00:06:13,848
and discriminatory housing
practices and policies has

135
00:06:13,848 --> 00:06:17,240
denied black families and
other marginalized communities

136
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,569
equal access to home
ownership and opportunities

137
00:06:20,569 --> 00:06:21,680
to build wealth.

138
00:06:22,699 --> 00:06:25,221
These practices, such
as redlining, racially

139
00:06:25,221 --> 00:06:27,680
restrictive covenants,
and discriminatory

140
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,661
lending practices, restricted
where black families

141
00:06:30,661 --> 00:06:33,620
and communities of color
could live or own property,

142
00:06:33,620 --> 00:06:36,754
which is the reason Seattle
enacted its own fair

143
00:06:36,754 --> 00:06:38,480
housing laws back in 1968.

144
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,084
Many low-income immigrant
and refugee communities

145
00:06:43,084 --> 00:06:46,466
have also faced barriers to
housing stability, housing

146
00:06:46,466 --> 00:06:48,480
ownership, and wealth building.

147
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,701
These inequities continue to
shape who can remain in their

148
00:06:51,701 --> 00:06:54,927
communities as housing costs
rise and neighborhoods face

149
00:06:54,927 --> 00:06:56,899
gentrification and displacement.

150
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:01,021
Today, Seattle has taken
an important step to

151
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:03,740
protect homeowners from
predatory homebuyers

152
00:07:03,740 --> 00:07:06,826
and give them more control
over who can contact them

153
00:07:06,826 --> 00:07:08,480
about selling their homes.

154
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:12,595
Protecting homeowners'
ability to make informed

155
00:07:12,595 --> 00:07:15,319
decisions is part of
building a more equitable

156
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,463
and inclusive Seattle,
particularly for communities

157
00:07:18,463 --> 00:07:21,199
that have historically
faced discrimination,

158
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:24,620
displacement, and barriers to
building generational wealth.

159
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:29,620
The Do Not Solicit list
maintained by the Seattle Office

160
00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:32,720
for Civil Rights will allow
homeowners to make decisions

161
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,319
to sell their homes on their
own terms and protect them

162
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,000
from high pressure sales
tactics that push them

163
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,699
to selling their homes for
less than they are worth.

164
00:07:42,699 --> 00:07:44,420
The Seattle Office for
Civil Rights is pleased

165
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:46,278
to support this important
work to improve

166
00:07:46,278 --> 00:07:48,699
fair housing practices
in our city.

167
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,259
The Do Not Solicit ordinance
will not undo generations

168
00:07:53,699 --> 00:07:56,278
of harm or dismantle the
systemic inequities that

169
00:07:56,278 --> 00:08:00,600
have impacted the opportunity
to own a home and build wealth.

170
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,660
But it is one small
but intentional step

171
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:06,519
towards giving homeowners
greater control over whether

172
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:09,220
they want to be approached
about selling their home,

173
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:12,300
as well as supporting homeowners
in vulnerable communities

174
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,240
to protect assets that have
been historically denied.

175
00:08:16,699 --> 00:08:18,240
As the Seattle Office
for Civil Rights

176
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,420
prepares to maintain and enforce
the Do Not Solicit list,

177
00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:24,399
we will work in partnership
with community organizations

178
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,379
to educate the public
about this new law

179
00:08:27,379 --> 00:08:29,778
and provide information
on multiple languages

180
00:08:29,778 --> 00:08:31,939
and accessible formats
to communities

181
00:08:31,939 --> 00:08:34,057
on how to add their
name to the list

182
00:08:34,057 --> 00:08:35,740
and what to do when they
have been subjected

183
00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:38,980
to these unlawful practices.

184
00:08:38,980 --> 00:08:41,120
I want to thank Dr.
Hajar Al-Faham,

185
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,129
who leads the Policy Division,
and Monica Beach, the

186
00:08:44,129 --> 00:08:47,956
Interim Enforcement Director,
who have worked really closely

187
00:08:47,956 --> 00:08:51,788
with Councilmember Foster
and Mayor's Office Wilson

188
00:08:51,788 --> 00:08:55,191
to really provide support
and implementation

189
00:08:55,191 --> 00:08:56,320
for this new law.

190
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,500
I'd also like to
recognize Medhanit Abibi,

191
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:00,980
who's the
Investigations Manager,

192
00:09:00,980 --> 00:09:04,399
Crystal, Bautista, Jason,
who's here with us today,

193
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:06,298
because this work
would not be possible

194
00:09:06,298 --> 00:09:09,551
and is not able to enforce
without the support

195
00:09:09,551 --> 00:09:10,658
of these folks.

196
00:09:10,658 --> 00:09:13,278
And I just wanna thank you
for all your years of support

197
00:09:13,278 --> 00:09:14,658
for Office for Civil Rights.

198
00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:18,440
We are building on the
leadership persistence

199
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,440
and working on those
who come before us

200
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,700
to ensure communities
remain rooted

201
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:27,360
and retain the wealth that
helped worked to build.

202
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,322
And lastly, this important
legislation would not be

203
00:09:30,322 --> 00:09:33,961
possible without the advocacy
work of community organizations

204
00:09:33,961 --> 00:09:37,125
like Black Legacy Homeowners,
Beacon Hill Council, and

205
00:09:37,125 --> 00:09:40,157
the many generations of
Black, Indigenous, and other

206
00:09:40,157 --> 00:09:43,591
marginalized residents,
community members, and activists

207
00:09:43,591 --> 00:09:46,489
who have fought hard to
stand against displacement

208
00:09:46,489 --> 00:09:48,240
and unfair housing practices.

209
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,052
And now I'm honored to
introduce our next speaker,

210
00:09:51,052 --> 00:09:52,259
Chukundi Salisbury.

211
00:09:58,918 --> 00:10:05,019
Well, first of all, this is
just a huge milestone for us.

212
00:10:05,019 --> 00:10:08,503
And I want to thank everyone
involved, of course,

213
00:10:08,503 --> 00:10:12,326
Council Member Foster and
Mayor Wilson and everybody

214
00:10:12,326 --> 00:10:14,884
who has worked on this,
including all the great

215
00:10:14,884 --> 00:10:17,158
people that were mentioned in
the Office of Civil Rights,

216
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:21,466
because we are looking
forward to robust enforcement

217
00:10:21,466 --> 00:10:24,720
as we go down this road
of this ordinance.

218
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,066
Um, also I have to just thank
our many, many members at

219
00:10:30,066 --> 00:10:32,740
Black Legacy Homeowners.

220
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:35,278
Um, you know, I get kind
of emotional about this.

221
00:10:35,278 --> 00:10:37,773
I guess what I would
say is this one is for

222
00:10:37,773 --> 00:10:39,360
you, Ms. Frankie, right?

223
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,918
Because, um, we worked on this.

224
00:10:40,918 --> 00:10:42,960
This is a long process.

225
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,908
And so in 2020, we had
signs that just said, hey,

226
00:10:46,908 --> 00:10:49,139
this house is not for sale.

227
00:10:49,139 --> 00:10:52,538
And we were putting
those in people's window

228
00:10:52,538 --> 00:10:54,100
just as a statement.

229
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:58,524
We know that we didn't have
the power to stop this tidal

230
00:10:58,524 --> 00:11:02,750
wave of predatory developers,
but people in our community

231
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:05,220
have been working on
this for a long time.

232
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:08,460
I've sat in many living
rooms with many people who

233
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:10,038
have been stressed out.

234
00:11:10,038 --> 00:11:13,700
And for some people in Seattle,
this might just be an annoyance.

235
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:17,778
But for people that are on the
edge they're behind a mortgage

236
00:11:17,778 --> 00:11:21,216
payment or they've just lost
their significant other

237
00:11:21,216 --> 00:11:23,961
big mama passed away we
don't know what we gonna

238
00:11:23,961 --> 00:11:27,316
do and here's this person
calling day after day I

239
00:11:27,316 --> 00:11:31,067
can make it go away you
know and they're trying

240
00:11:31,067 --> 00:11:35,562
to give you
$50,000 over what the assessed

241
00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:39,000
value of your house is and
tell you that you could

242
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,700
stay there for six months
while you get it together.

243
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,620
So these people have been
coming in our community,

244
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:50,538
sometimes trying to catch
us at our lowest moment.

245
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,298
When we are most vulnerable
and ready to give up.

246
00:11:57,298 --> 00:12:01,220
And now, you know, there will be
some recourse for these people

247
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:03,700
who have been preying on people.

248
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:06,918
There's people out there
that monitor life events.

249
00:12:06,918 --> 00:12:10,320
They monitor when
people pass away.

250
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,230
And they look and now
the AI allows them

251
00:12:13,230 --> 00:12:16,339
to aggregate this data
at record speed now and

252
00:12:16,339 --> 00:12:19,024
say, oh, well, this
person that lives in that

253
00:12:19,024 --> 00:12:21,527
neighborhood just
lost their husband.

254
00:12:21,527 --> 00:12:25,047
Maybe it's time for me to
call them repeatedly and

255
00:12:25,047 --> 00:12:27,278
push them over the edge, right?

256
00:12:27,278 --> 00:12:29,192
So this is a real tactic.

257
00:12:29,192 --> 00:12:31,774
And we want to be
on the other side

258
00:12:31,774 --> 00:12:32,442
of that.

259
00:12:32,442 --> 00:12:36,067
We know that, you know,
commerce will continue.

260
00:12:36,067 --> 00:12:39,600
Commerce in America is
built on commerce, right?

261
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,317
And nobody's against legitimate

262
00:12:42,317 --> 00:12:45,859
transactions, real
estate transactions.

263
00:12:45,859 --> 00:12:48,254
But what we are
against, and this

264
00:12:48,254 --> 00:12:51,320
legislation is helping us
defend our members and others,

265
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:54,783
is against the predatory, right?

266
00:12:54,783 --> 00:12:57,677
The bullying, the
hunting if you will,

267
00:12:57,677 --> 00:12:59,918
as Councilmember
Foster said, right?

268
00:12:59,918 --> 00:13:02,298
So just really excited.

269
00:13:02,298 --> 00:13:05,480
I mean, we've got a lot more
work to do, if you will,

270
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,658
in terms of anti-displacement
and keeping people

271
00:13:09,658 --> 00:13:12,206
in their homes and
allowing folks to

272
00:13:12,206 --> 00:13:15,447
be able to age in place,
as well as letting new

273
00:13:15,447 --> 00:13:17,700
families and others move in.

274
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:19,240
So there's a lot of
work in Seattle,

275
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,158
but this is a great
day for homeowners,

276
00:13:23,158 --> 00:13:24,658
especially people like myself.

277
00:13:24,658 --> 00:13:28,605
Like I said, we've been on this
journey with the this house is

278
00:13:28,605 --> 00:13:30,500
not for sale sign since 2020.

279
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:35,051
And I just want to thank
all of our members, Black

280
00:13:35,051 --> 00:13:38,716
Legacy homeowner members
and others that will

281
00:13:38,716 --> 00:13:41,019
benefit from this legislation.

282
00:13:41,019 --> 00:13:44,037
And just one more time, I
want to say this is for

283
00:13:44,037 --> 00:13:47,134
you, Mrs. Frankie, who
ended up they had to sell

284
00:13:47,134 --> 00:13:48,960
their house on a short sale.

285
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,940
And they didn't know that there
was foreclosure assistance.

286
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:55,897
And so that's the work
that we're doing with

287
00:13:55,897 --> 00:13:58,259
Black Legacy homeowners
is we're going to go

288
00:13:58,259 --> 00:14:01,240
out and educate people
about these resources.

289
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,580
This is another tool
in our toolkit,

290
00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:09,519
and we'll be able to tell
people that we are still here,

291
00:14:10,519 --> 00:14:12,700
and we shall not be moved.

292
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:13,080
Thank you.

293
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,057
Okay, let's do it.

294
00:14:40,778 --> 00:14:47,740
Thank you.
