ENOUGH. WE WILL HEAR FROM THEM
IN A REPORT COMING UP LIVE AT
6.30. AND YOU KNOW EVERY
MORNING WE HAVE BEEN HEARING
FROM OFFICIALS COMMUNITY
LEADERS AND RESEARCHERS ABOUT
CHANGES, THEY'D LIKE TO SEE
THE COMMUNITY NEW THIS MORNING
WE'RE HEARING FROM A PROTESTER
AND ACTIVIST WHO'S ACTIVELY
WORKING IN SPEAKING WITH OTHER
PROTESTERS.
ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT THEY
WANT ELISE HAAS JOINS US LIVE
THIS MORNING WITH THAT STORY
AT LEAST.
KEN AND JENNY AS AN AFRICAN
INDIGENOUS AND A WHITE WOMAN
IS ACTIVISTS I MET WITH TELLS
ME THAT SHE'S BEEN INTERESTED
AND HUMAN RIGHTS HER WHOLE
LIFE SO SHE HAS SINCE GONE ON
TO STUDY IT ALONG WITH
INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR THE PAST
DECADE. AND THIS DEMONSTRATOR
TO POINT OUT IS ACTUALLY BORN
AND RAISED IN MINNEAPOLIS
MINNESOTA. BUT NOW CALLS
PORTLAND HOME.
BUT THE KILLING OF GEORGE
FLOYD STRUCK HER TO HER CORE
AND AS A TRAUMA RESEARCHER
GINO TO HER THAT UH HAS BEEN
INTERVIEWING DEMONSTRATORS
DURING PORTLAND'S PROTEST TO
COLLECT A LIST OF CONCRETE
ASKS OR DEMANDS SO SHE HAS
SEEN CALLS FOR BODY CAMERAS
FOR ALL OFFICERS AT ALL TIMES
A DEEP NEED FOR ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR EVERYONE ALONG THE CHAIN
OF COMMAND THAT IS COMPLICIT
IN SYSTEMATIC ARM, INCLUDING
PROSECUTORS DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
AND CORONERS. SHE SAYS IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT THE COMMUNITY
IS BROUGHT IN TO HELP MAKE
THESE VERY CHANGES. WE DO NEED
TO GO TO THE ROOT AND
HOPEFULLY CONVENES SEVERAL
COMMUNITY COUNCILS OF
BRILLIANT LEADERS ARE OUT HERE
BRILLIANT BLACK.
AND BROWN AND INDIGENOUS
LEADERS AND HAVE ROUND TABLES
FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THE
SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD BE
ADEQUATE FOR THEM.
AS A DOCTORAL STUDENT AT
JOHNS HOPKINS PUBLIC HEALTH,
JIA EXPLAINS THAT IN ADDITION
TO GOING TO EXPERTS ON RACIAL
EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR
DATA IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO
HONOR AND A LISTEN TO THE
EXPERTISE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
LIVED THROUGH THESE
EXPERIENCES FOR CENTURIES AND
FOR GENERATIONS, GM BELIEVES
THAT OUR SYSTEMS HAVE
SUPPRESSED THEIR VOICES SO SHE
SAYS THAT NOW IS THE TIME THAT
CITY LEADERS TO REALLY LEAN ON
THE BLACK INDIGENOUS AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR. AS A SOURCE
OF KNOWLEDGE, KEN AND JENNY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH A LEASE.
OR PROTESTS AROUND THE
WORLD IN THE WEEK SINCE GEORGE
