00:32:09:00	00:32:12:00	I'M A BIT RAW AND FRAGILE AT
00:32:12:00	00:32:13:00	THE MOMENT SO I WILL JUST BE
00:32:13:00	00:32:17:00	VERY TRANSPARENT AND JUST LET
00:32:17:00	00:32:21:00	ME PREFACE MY WORDS TO THIS
00:32:21:00	00:32:24:00	COUNCIL ARE NOT ADVICE.
00:32:24:00	00:32:27:00	THEY ARE INSTRUCTIONS AND
00:32:27:00	00:32:31:00	FOLLOW THEM CAREFULLY.
00:32:31:00	00:32:35:00	OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I
00:32:35:00	00:32:36:00	HAVE HAD THE HONOR AND THE DEEP
00:32:36:00	00:32:39:00	PRIVILEGE TO WORK ALONGSIDE MY

00:32:55:00	00:32:57:00	COME EASILY.
00:32:57:00	00:33:01:00	CHANGE TO SOME IS A THREAT TO
00:33:01:00	00:33:01:00	COMPLACENCY.
00:33:01:00	00:33:05:00	IT IS A THREAT TO THEIR
00:33:05:00	00:33:05:00	COMFORT.
00:33:05:00	00:33:09:00	IT IS A THREAT TO THEIR ABILITY
00:33:09:00	00:33:13:00	TO COMPROMISE HUMANITY.
00:33:13:00	00:33:17:00	AND LET ME BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR
00:33:17:00	00:33:17:00	.
00:33:17:00	00:33:20:00	OUR HUMANITY IS NOT UP FOR
00:33:20:00	00:33:24:00	DEBATE.
00:33:24:00	00:33:28:00	IT IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.
00:33:28:00	00:33:32:00	COUNCILOR MEKERE JADE MOORE
00:33:32:00	00:33:36:00	CHASTITY BERWICK, THE ORIGINAL
00:33:36:00	00:33:39:00	CO-CHAIR OF THIS ORDINANCE
00:33:39:00	00:33:40:00	BEFORE MICKEY JONES AND I
00:33:40:00	00:33:43:00	ASSUMED THE ROLE AS SHE WENT ON
00:33:43:00	00:33:44:00	TO BECOME PART OF THE HIS TEAM
00:33:44:00	00:33:47:00	ALONG WITH OUR EXTRAORDINARY
00:33:47:00	00:33:51:00	COMMITTEE MADE OF OUR SIBLINGS
00:33:51:00	00:33:54:00	AND SIBLINGS WHO CALL THIS
00:33:54:00	00:33:58:00	PLACE HOME FOUGHT TO THE ENDS
00:33:58:00	00:34:01:00	OF THE EARTH TO ENSURE THAT NO
00:34:01:00	00:34:05:00	ONE WAS LEFT BEHIND.
00:34:05:00	00:34:06:00	FOR MONTHS WE WENT BACK AND
00:34:06:00	00:34:09:00	FORTH FOR PROGRESS THAT WE WERE
00:34:09:00	00:34:13:00	HEARD AND I WILL ADMIT THAT
00:34:13:00	00:34:14:00	THERE WERE MOMENTS THAT I
00:34:14:00	00:34:16:00	THOUGHT OUR DEMANDS WOULD GO
00:34:16:00	00:34:20:00	UNMET SOLELY BASED ON EGO.
00:34:20:00	00:34:21:00	BUT THIS AFTERNOON WE STAND AS
00:34:21:00	00:34:24:00	A FORCE.
00:34:24:00	00:34:24:00	LOOK AROUND THIS CHAMBER.
00:34:24:00	00:34:28:00	WE ARE A FORCE TO ENSURE THAT
00:34:28:00	00:34:28:00	THIS RESOLUTION IS PASSED
00:34:28:00	00:34:32:00	WITHOUT HESITATION AND QUICKLY
00:34:32:00	00:34:32:00	AND SWIFTLY.
00:34:32:00	00:34:36:00	AND HERE IS WHY WHEN  AND TRANS
00:34:36:00	00:34:39:00	RIGHTS ARE UNDER ATTACK, WHAT
00:34:39:00	00:34:39:00	DO WE DO?
00:34:39:00	00:34:43:00	STAND UP, FIGHT BACK.
00:34:43:00	00:34:46:00	SO I'LL REPEAT THAT WHEN  AND
00:34:46:00	00:34:47:00	TRANS RIGHTS ARE UNDER ATTACK,
00:34:47:00	00:34:47:00	WHAT DO WE DO?
00:34:47:00	00:34:50:00	STAND UP, FIGHT BACK.
00:34:50:00	00:34:53:00	ONE MORE TIME WHEN  AND TRANS
00:34:53:00	00:34:54:00	RIGHTS ARE UNDER ATTACK WHAT DO
00:34:54:00	00:34:54:00	WE DO?
00:34:54:00	00:35:00:00	STAND UP, FIGHT BACK.
00:35:00:00	00:35:04:00	AND THAT WORK STARTS HERE IN
00:35:04:00	00:35:05:00	OUR OWN BACKYARD AND IT STARTS
00:35:05:00	00:35:08:00	NOW.
00:35:08:00	00:35:09:00	AND IT MUST CONTINUE AND NOT
00:35:09:00	00:35:12:00	CEASE UNTIL VICTORY IS WON.
00:35:12:00	00:35:13:00	AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT
00:35:13:00	00:35:16:00	PERFORMATIVE VICTORY THAT THE
00:35:16:00	00:35:23:00	CITY LOVES TO PARADE THE
00:35:23:00	00:35:27:00	PASSING OF THIS ORDINANCE IS
00:35:27:00	00:35:27:00	JUST THE BEGINNING.
00:35:27:00	00:35:31:00	WE HAVE TO LOOK AT CREATING AND
00:35:31:00	00:35:31:00	CODIFYING LEGISLATION THAT
00:35:31:00	00:35:34:00	GIVES US THE ACCESS WE SO
00:35:34:00	00:35:35:00	RIGHTFULLY DESERVE.
00:35:35:00	00:35:41:00	AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN DENIED.
00:35:41:00	00:35:42:00	WE DEMAND ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT
00:35:42:00	00:35:44:00	HOUSING, FOOD, EDUCATION,
00:35:44:00	00:35:49:00	HEALTH CARE ALL THE ESSENTIALS
00:35:49:00	00:35:52:00	TO LIVE.
00:35:52:00	00:35:55:00	AND ON THAT HEALTH CARE POINT
00:35:55:00	00:35:56:00	WE SHOULD NOT HAVE OUR MAJOR
00:35:56:00	00:35:58:00	INSTITUTIONS BACKING DOWN FROM
00:35:58:00	00:35:59:00	TRANS YOUTH THE MOST FRAGILE.
00:35:59:00	00:36:03:00	IN A TIME WHEN THEY ARE
00:36:03:00	00:36:04:00	OF NEED.
00:36:04:00	00:36:06:00	SO FENWAY HEALTH THAT WAS FOR
00:36:06:00	00:36:10:00	YOU AND TO THIS COUNCIL THAT
00:36:10:00	00:36:13:00	MAY SUPPORT THEIR DECISION.
00:36:13:00	00:36:13:00	THINK AGAIN IF YOU CANNOT
00:36:13:00	00:36:16:00	ACCESS YOUR CARE AS A YOUNG
00:36:16:00	00:36:17:00	PERSON OR IF YOUR PARENTS COULD
00:36:17:00	00:36:20:00	NOT GO TO THE DOCTOR AND GET
00:36:20:00	00:36:23:00	YOU THE HELP THAT YOU NEEDED.
00:36:23:00	00:36:28:00	BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
00:36:28:00	00:36:28:00	THIS HAS HAPPENED.
00:36:28:00	00:36:31:00	THE  AND TRANS COMMUNITY AND
00:36:31:00	00:36:32:00	THE MANY INTERSECTIONS THAT WE
00:36:32:00	00:36:35:00	EMBRACE HAVE BEEN THE HEARTBEAT
00:36:35:00	00:36:36:00	OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN
00:36:36:00	00:36:36:00	THIS COUNTRY.
00:36:36:00	00:36:39:00	LOSING CROWN JEWELS AND OUR
00:36:39:00	00:36:40:00	FIGHT FOR LIBERATION ALONG THE
00:36:40:00	00:36:46:00	WAY RITA HESTER IS GONE.
00:36:46:00	00:36:49:00	CHANEL PICKETT IS GONE.
00:36:49:00	00:36:53:00	MARSHA P JOHNSON IS GONE AND
00:36:53:00	00:36:59:00	MISS MAJOR IS GONE.
00:36:59:00	00:37:03:00	BUT THEIR SPIRIT IS STILL HERE
00:37:03:00	00:37:04:00	AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE NO
00:37:04:00	00:37:08:00	TOLERANCE FOR THIS EPIDEMIC
00:37:08:00	00:37:08:00	OF VIOLENCE AND HATRED THAT
00:37:08:00	00:37:11:00	PLAGUES US AND HAS BEEN
00:37:11:00	00:37:12:00	NORMALIZED NORMALIZED SO MUCH
00:37:12:00	00:37:16:00	THAT NOW EVERY YEAR FOR THE
00:37:16:00	00:37:18:00	PAST 26 YEARS WE HAVE TO GATHER
00:37:18:00	00:37:22:00	AND READ NAME UPON NAME OF A
00:37:22:00	00:37:23:00	TRANS NONBINARY OR GENDER
00:37:23:00	00:37:26:00	EXPANSIVE PERSON LOST TO
00:37:26:00	00:37:29:00	VIOLENCE.
00:37:29:00	00:37:30:00	AND LET US NOT FORGET THAT
00:37:30:00	00:37:31:00	THERE ARE ALLIES WHO WORKED TO
00:37:31:00	00:37:33:00	DEFEND THEM WHO ALSO LOST THEIR
00:37:33:00	00:37:37:00	LIVES.
00:37:37:00	00:37:40:00	LET'S BE REAL.
00:37:40:00	00:37:41:00	THERE IS A VIOLENCE AND HARMFUL
00:37:41:00	00:37:44:00	RHETORIC THAT HAS BEEN
00:37:44:00	00:37:48:00	PROPELLED EVEN BY LEGISLATORS
00:37:48:00	00:37:51:00	IN THIS VERY COMMONWEALTH WHICH
00:37:51:00	00:37:56:00	CLAIMS TO BE A SANCTUARY.
00:37:56:00	00:37:57:00	AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ALL
00:37:57:00	00:38:00:00	OF THIS SANCTUARIES CANNOT BE
00:38:00:00	00:38:03:00	GLASS HOUSES.
00:38:03:00	00:38:07:00	THEY MUST HAVE A STRONG
00:38:07:00	00:38:10:00	IMPENETRABLE FOUNDATION FOR IF
00:38:10:00	00:38:11:00	THEY DO NOT THEY WILL FOREVER
00:38:11:00	00:38:15:00	BE BROKEN.
00:38:15:00	00:38:18:00	THE WAY THAT I FEEL NOW AS
00:38:18:00	00:38:22:00	THERE ARE ESCALATED THREATS TO
00:38:22:00	00:38:23:00	MY LIFE AS I WAS APPOINTED TO
00:38:23:00	00:38:24:00	THE MASS COMMISSION ON THE
00:38:24:00	00:38:30:00	STATUS OF WOMEN NOTHING A ROPE
00:38:30:00	00:38:31:00	AND A TREE CAN'T FIX WAS ONE
00:38:31:00	00:38:34:00	OF THE COMMENTS IN RESPONSE AND
00:38:34:00	00:38:37:00	IT REMAINS FIXATED IN MY MIND
00:38:37:00	00:38:41:00	AND AS A COMMISSIONER I HAVE
00:38:41:00	00:38:46:00	DEDICATED MANY VOLUNTEER HOURS
00:38:46:00	00:38:46:00	TO ENSURE THAT ALL WOMEN AND
00:38:46:00	00:38:50:00	GIRLS ACROSS THIS COMMONWEALTH
00:38:50:00	00:38:51:00	HAVE ACCESS TO THE TOOLS AND
00:38:51:00	00:38:54:00	RESOURCES THEY NEED TO LIVE
00:38:54:00	00:38:54:00	ABUNDANT THRIVING LIVES THE
00:38:54:00	00:38:58:00	SAME WAY THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN

00:39:02:00	00:39:05:00	ABUNDANT LIVES AGAIN.
00:39:05:00	00:39:06:00	OUR HUMANITY IS NOT UP FOR
00:39:06:00	00:39:08:00	DEBATE HERE.
00:39:08:00	00:39:09:00	THERE IS NO COMPROMISE ON WHO
00:39:09:00	00:39:13:00	LIVES OR WHO DIES BECAUSE IN
00:39:13:00	00:39:16:00	THIS MOMENT THIS ADMINISTRATION
00:39:16:00	00:39:19:00	WANTS ALL OF US TO SUFFER A
00:39:19:00	00:39:23:00	FORM OF HARM.
00:39:23:00	00:39:24:00	LET US NOT BE DISTRACTED FROM
00:39:24:00	00:39:28:00	HOW WE MUST RALLY BEHIND ONE
00:39:28:00	00:39:29:00	ANOTHER, SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER
00:39:29:00	00:39:32:00	AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE ENEMY
00:39:32:00	00:39:35:00	CANNOT BE THE PERSON SITTING
00:39:35:00	00:39:38:00	NEXT TO YOU.
00:39:38:00	00:39:42:00	STOP IT.
00:39:42:00	00:39:46:00	THE COMMITTEE THAT HAS PUT
00:39:46:00	00:39:46:00	TOGETHER TRANS DAY

00:39:50:00	00:39:53:00	HONOR AND RECOGNIZE THOSE WE'VE
00:39:53:00	00:39:54:00	LOST.
00:39:54:00	00:39:55:00	AND WHEN WE COME TO THIS
00:39:55:00	00:39:58:00	ORDINANCE THIS IS THE BEGINNING
00:39:58:00	00:40:00:00	OF THE STEPS SO THAT WAY ONE
00:40:00:00	00:40:01:00	DAY WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO
00:40:01:00	00:40:04:00	COMMEMORATE IT.
00:40:04:00	00:40:07:00	WE CAN ACTUALLY CELEBRATE THAT

00:40:27:00	00:40:31:00	OUT IN THIS MOMENT BUT I MUST
00:40:31:00	00:40:35:00	SAY IT IS A PRIVILEGE SPACE TO
00:40:35:00	00:40:38:00	BE IN BECAUSE THERE ARE BLACK
00:40:38:00	00:40:38:00	TRANS WOMEN AROUND THIS WORLD
00:40:38:00	00:40:42:00	WHO DID NOT GET PHONE CALLS
00:40:42:00	00:40:42:00	WHEN SOMEONE THREATENED THEIR
00:40:42:00	00:40:49:00	LIVES THEY SIMPLY WERE UNHEARD
00:40:49:00	00:40:52:00	AND THEN THEY WERE GONE.
00:40:52:00	00:40:56:00	SO STOP IT.
00:40:56:00	00:41:00:00	ACT TO STOP IT.
00:41:00:00	00:41:03:00	YOU HAVE EVERY ABILITY TO DO SO
00:41:03:00	00:41:04:00	AND IF YOU CAN'T PAY ATTENTION
00:41:04:00	00:41:08:00	TO IT I HOPE THAT WHEN THE HARM
00:41:08:00	00:41:10:00	HEADS YOUR WAY YOU GET SOME
00:41:10:00	00:41:14:00	SUPPORT.
00:41:14:00	00:41:18:00	THIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN
00:41:18:00	00:41:18:00	LIGHTLY.
00:41:18:00	00:41:22:00	LIVES ARE ON EXECUTIVE ORDER
00:41:22:00	00:41:27:00	AND THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW
00:41:27:00	00:41:27:00	.
00:41:27:00	00:41:38:00	THANK YOU.
00:41:38:00	00:41:41:00	GOOD AFTERNOON.
00:41:41:00	00:41:42:00	I'LL DO THAT AGAIN.
00:41:42:00	00:41:49:00	GOOD AFTERNOON.
00:41:49:00	00:41:50:00	WHAT I THINK IS NEEDED THOUGH
00:41:50:00	00:41:50:00	BECAUSE YOU KNOW SOMETHING
00:41:50:00	00:41:53:00	SIMILAR HAPPENED TO ME IS THEY
00:41:53:00	00:41:54:00	HAVE A FEW YEARS TO GO AND GET
00:41:54:00	00:41:54:00	NO SUPPORT.
00:41:54:00	00:41:55:00	SO I GUESS SOMETHING IS
00:41:55:00	00:41:55:00	CHANGING.
00:41:55:00	00:41:59:00	THINGS ARE CHANGING.
00:41:59:00	00:42:00:00	FOR OVER TEN YEARS I STILL ON
00:42:00:00	00:42:03:00	THE FRONT LINES FIGHTING FOR
00:42:03:00	00:42:04:00	TRANSGENDER RIGHTS IN THIS
00:42:04:00	00:42:04:00	CITY.
00:42:04:00	00:42:07:00	TODAY I STAND BEFORE YOU NOT
00:42:07:00	00:42:11:00	JUST AS AN ACTIVIST BUT AS A
00:42:11:00	00:42:11:00	BLACK TRANSGENDER WOMAN WHOSE
00:42:11:00	00:42:14:00	VERY EXISTENCE IS UNDER FEDERAL
00:42:14:00	00:42:14:00	TECH WHILE POLITICIANS IN
00:42:14:00	00:42:15:00	WASHINGTON STRIP AWAY OUR
00:42:15:00	00:42:18:00	PROTECTIONS AND WHILE CHILDREN
00:42:18:00	00:42:22:00	FACE UNPRECEDENTED HOSTILITY,
00:42:22:00	00:42:22:00	BOSTON HAS A CHOICE TO MAKE.
00:42:22:00	00:42:26:00	WILL WE BE A CITY THAT STANDS
00:42:26:00	00:42:26:00	UP WHEN IT MATTERS MOST?
00:42:26:00	00:42:27:00	OR WILL WE BE THE CITY THAT
00:42:27:00	00:42:30:00	THEY SILENT WHEN OUR NEIGHBORS
00:42:30:00	00:42:33:00	NEEDED US?
00:42:33:00	00:42:34:00	WHILE OTHER CITIES DEBATE AND
00:42:34:00	00:42:37:00	DELAY WHILE SOME CHOOSE SILENCE
00:42:37:00	00:42:37:00	IN THE FACE OF HATRED, BOSTON
00:42:37:00	00:42:40:00	CAN CHOOSE SOMETHING DIFFERENT
00:42:40:00	00:42:41:00	.
00:42:41:00	00:42:42:00	TODAY WE CAN CHOOSE TO BE THE
00:42:42:00	00:42:45:00	CITY THAT DOESN'T JUST TALK
00:42:45:00	00:42:45:00	ABOUT INCLUSION.
00:42:45:00	00:42:46:00	WE CAN BE THE CITY THAT
00:42:46:00	00:42:49:00	CODIFIES IT, PROTECTS IT AND
00:42:49:00	00:42:52:00	FIGHTS FOR IT WHEN TRANSGENDER
00:42:52:00	00:42:53:00	RESIDENTS IN OTHER CITIES
00:42:53:00	00:42:53:00	WONDER IF THEIR LOCAL
00:42:53:00	00:42:56:00	GOVERNMENT HAS THEIR BACK.
00:42:56:00	00:42:57:00	BOSTON'S TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY
00:42:57:00	00:43:00:00	WOULD KNOW WITHOUT QUESTION
00:43:00:00	00:43:04:00	THAT THIS CITY STANDS WITH US
00:43:04:00	00:43:04:00	THIS MORNING.
00:43:04:00	00:43:05:00	IT MEANS THAT A TRANSGENDER
00:43:05:00	00:43:08:00	TEENAGER CAN WALK TO SCHOOL
00:43:08:00	00:43:09:00	KNOWING THAT THEIR CITY
00:43:09:00	00:43:09:00	PROTECTS THEM.
00:43:09:00	00:43:12:00	IT MEANS THAT A TRANSGENDER
00:43:12:00	00:43:12:00	WORKER CAN REPORT
00:43:12:00	00:43:12:00	DISCRIMINATION KNOWING THAT
00:43:12:00	00:43:16:00	THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES.
00:43:16:00	00:43:16:00	IT MEANS THAT TRANSGENDER
00:43:16:00	00:43:17:00	FAMILIES CAN BUILD THEIR LIVES
00:43:17:00	00:43:20:00	HERE IN BOSTON KNOWING THAT THE
00:43:20:00	00:43:24:00	CITY WON'T ABANDON THEM.
00:43:24:00	00:43:27:00	THAT'S NOT JUST GOOD POLICY.
00:43:27:00	00:43:28:00	THAT'S WHAT MORAL LEADERSHIP IN
00:43:28:00	00:43:33:00	ACTION LOOKS LIKE.
00:43:33:00	00:43:37:00	SO WHEN YOU VOTE YES TODAY,
00:43:37:00	00:43:37:00	YOU'RE NOT JUST PROTECTING
00:43:37:00	00:43:38:00	BOSTON'S TRANSGENDER
00:43:38:00	00:43:41:00	COMMUNITIES.
00:43:41:00	00:43:41:00	YOU'RE SENDING A MESSAGE THAT
00:43:41:00	00:43:45:00	WILL ECHO ACROSS THE NATION.
00:43:45:00	00:43:45:00	OTHER CITIES WILL LOOK TO
00:43:45:00	00:43:49:00	BOSTON AND SAY IF THEY CAN DO
00:43:49:00	00:43:52:00	IT, SO CAN WE.
00:43:52:00	00:43:53:00	YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE
00:43:53:00	00:43:56:00	BOSTON NOT JUST A SANCTUARY BUT
00:43:56:00	00:43:59:00	A MODEL, NOT JUST A SAFE HARBOR
00:43:59:00	00:44:00:00	BUT A LIGHTHOUSE SHOWING OTHER
00:44:00:00	00:44:04:00	CITIES THE WAY FORWARD.
00:44:04:00	00:44:08:00	SO COUNSELORS, I'VE SEEN THE
00:44:08:00	00:44:11:00	FEAR IN TEENAGERS EYES AND I'VE
00:44:11:00	00:44:12:00	SEEN THE HOPE WHEN COMMUNITIES
00:44:12:00	00:44:15:00	STAND UP TODAY.
00:44:15:00	00:44:16:00	YOU HOLD THAT HOPE IN YOUR
00:44:16:00	00:44:19:00	HANDS.
00:44:19:00	00:44:19:00	VOTE YES ON THIS ORDINANCE.
00:44:19:00	00:44:23:00	SHOW THE NATION THAT BOSTON

00:45:15:00	00:45:18:00	FOR US TO JUST SIT IN THIS
00:45:18:00	00:45:18:00	MOMENT AND WHILE WE'RE ALL HERE

00:45:41:00	00:45:44:00	BEGAN RIGHT HERE IN BOSTON AND
00:45:44:00	00:45:45:00	SPARKED A GLOBAL MOVEMENT.
00:45:45:00	00:45:49:00	RITA WAS BRILLIANT, LOVED AND
00:45:49:00	00:45:49:00	UNAPOLOGETICALLY HERSELF.
00:45:49:00	00:45:53:00	HER MURDER IN 1998 SHOOK THIS
00:45:53:00	00:45:57:00	CITY AND EXPOSED THE DEEP

00:46:14:00	00:46:15:00	REMEMBERING RITA MEANS MORE
00:46:15:00	00:46:18:00	THAN REFLECTING ON HER LOSS.
00:46:18:00	00:46:19:00	IT MEANS COMMITTING TO BUILDING
00:46:19:00	00:46:22:00	THE WORLD SHE DESERVED.
00:46:22:00	00:46:23:00	A WORLD WHERE EVERY TRANS

01:15:19:00	01:15:22:00	CONSENSUS THAT A SIX MONTH
01:15:22:00	01:15:23:00	IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD WOULD BE
01:15:23:00	01:15:26:00	NECESSARY TO ENSURE SAFETY

01:15:37:00	01:15:40:00	HOWEVER, COUNCILORS EMPHASIZED
01:15:40:00	01:15:41:00	THE COMMUNITY'S EXPECTATION
01:15:41:00	01:15:42:00	THAT THE STUDY SERVE AS A
01:15:42:00	01:15:44:00	BASELINE FOR THE COMMISSION'S
01:15:44:00	01:15:45:00	WORK AND I'M PROUD THAT THAT

01:45:49:00	01:45:54:00	AS YOU JUST MENTIONED, I THINK
01:45:54:00	01:45:54:00	ZONING REFORM ABSOLUTELY NEEDS
01:45:54:00	01:45:57:00	TO BE PART OF OF OF OUR
01:45:57:00	01:45:57:00	PRIORITIES AS A COUNCIL OVER

01:46:01:00	01:46:04:00	MIDST OF A HOUSING CRISIS.
01:46:04:00	01:46:04:00	CURRENTLY BOSTON HAS OVER
01:46:04:00	01:46:05:00	15,000 TRIPLE DECKER HOMES
01:46:05:00	01:46:08:00	WHICH HOUSES TENS OF HUNDREDS
01:46:08:00	01:46:08:00	OF THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS AND
01:46:08:00	01:46:08:00	FAMILIES.
01:46:08:00	01:46:12:00	THESE HOMES ARE INTEGRAL PARTS
01:46:12:00	01:46:12:00	OF OUR CITY'S FABRIC BUT
01:46:12:00	01:46:13:00	UNFORTUNATELY OUR CURRENT
01:46:13:00	01:46:16:00	ZONING CODES ARE PUSHING THEM
01:46:16:00	01:46:16:00	TOWARDS BECOMING A THING OF THE
01:46:16:00	01:46:16:00	PAST.
01:46:16:00	01:46:19:00	YESTERDAY'S HEARING WAS A

01:46:23:00	01:46:23:00	CITY'S FABRIC.
01:46:23:00	01:46:24:00	BUT DESPITE THE POPULARITY THE
01:46:24:00	01:46:27:00	CURRENT PRODUCTION OF TRIPLE
01:46:27:00	01:46:28:00	DR. AS FAR AS ONE FIFTH OF THE

01:46:31:00	01:46:34:00	OF LARGER HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
01:46:34:00	01:46:35:00	, THAT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE
01:46:35:00	01:46:35:00	LACK OF INTEREST.
01:46:35:00	01:46:36:00	IT'S DUE TO THE BARRIERS AND
01:46:36:00	01:46:39:00	RESTRICTIONS WITHIN OUR ZONING
01:46:39:00	01:46:39:00	CODE.

02:01:18:00	02:01:21:00	THE PLANNING PROCESS SINCE

02:01:29:00	02:01:29:00	WITH THE BOSTON CITY

02:01:32:00	02:01:32:00	THIS PROJECT AND DANA FARBER,
02:01:32:00	02:01:35:00	HIS GROUNDBREAKING WORK.
02:01:35:00	02:01:36:00	THAT CONVERSATION ALLOWED US TO
02:01:36:00	02:01:36:00	EXPLORE THE FUTURE OF CANCER
02:01:36:00	02:01:39:00	CARE IN BOSTON.
02:01:39:00	02:01:39:00	THE PROPOSED 14 STORY
02:01:39:00	02:01:42:00	CANCER HOSPITAL WILL ENABLE

02:01:44:00	02:01:46:00	PIONEERING RESEARCH.
02:01:46:00	02:01:47:00	HOWEVER, THE PROJECT CANNOT
02:01:47:00	02:01:50:00	MOVE FORWARD UNTIL WE ADVANCE
02:01:50:00	02:01:51:00	THIS VOTE TO THE STATE HOUSE.
02:01:51:00	02:01:54:00	JOSLIN PARK IS JUST OVER 13,000
02:01:54:00	02:01:55:00	SQUARE FEET.
02:01:55:00	02:01:56:00	IT IS SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES
02:01:56:00	02:01:58:00	BY NARROW MISALIGNED STREETS
02:01:58:00	02:01:59:00	THAT SERVE SOME OF THE BUSIEST
02:01:59:00	02:02:02:00	AMBULANCE AND PEDESTRIAN ROUTES
02:02:02:00	02:02:03:00	IN THE CITY.
02:02:03:00	02:02:03:00	FOR DECADES THIS PARK HAS
02:02:03:00	02:02:07:00	FUNCTIONED LESS LIKE A PUBLIC
02:02:07:00	02:02:07:00	SPACE IT WAS INTENDED TO BE AND
02:02:07:00	02:02:08:00	MORE LIKE A TRAFFIC MEDIAN.
02:02:08:00	02:02:10:00	THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS WILL
02:02:10:00	02:02:10:00	TRANSFORM THE AREA.
02:02:10:00	02:02:14:00	THE RECONFIGURATION WILL EXPAND
02:02:14:00	02:02:17:00	PARK TO APPROXIMATELY 14,600
02:02:17:00	02:02:18:00	SQUARE FEET AND REDESIGN IT TO
02:02:18:00	02:02:21:00	AN ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC SPACE.
02:02:21:00	02:02:21:00	THE SURROUNDING ROADWAYS WILL
02:02:21:00	02:02:25:00	BE REALIGN TO ELIMINATE UNSAFE
02:02:25:00	02:02:26:00	AND CONFUSING INTERSECTIONS
02:02:26:00	02:02:29:00	RESULTING AND NECESSARY SAFETY

02:02:29:00	02:02:33:00	EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND HOSPITAL
02:02:33:00	02:02:33:00	STAFF AND VISITORS.
02:02:33:00	02:02:34:00	TOGETHER THESE CHANGES WILL
02:02:34:00	02:02:37:00	CREATE A MORE FUNCTIONAL
02:02:37:00	02:02:37:00	WELCOMING PARK AND MAKE THIS
02:02:37:00	02:02:40:00	SAFER FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE
02:02:40:00	02:02:41:00	JOSLIN PARK IS PROTECTED BY
02:02:41:00	02:02:43:00	ARTICLE 97 A STATE LAW
02:02:43:00	02:02:43:00	REQUIRING LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL
02:02:43:00	02:02:47:00	FOR ANY CHANGES TO PARK LAND.
02:02:47:00	02:02:48:00	THIS PETITION IS NEEDED TO
02:02:48:00	02:02:50:00	AUTHORIZE BOTH THE
02:02:50:00	02:02:50:00	RECONFIGURATION AND TEMPORARY

02:02:53:00	02:02:54:00	FOR CONSTRUCTION STAGING.
02:02:54:00	02:02:55:00	THIS HOME RULE PETITION ENABLES
02:02:55:00	02:02:57:00	THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO REVIEW
02:02:57:00	02:03:01:00	A CHANGE ALREADY UNANIMOUSLY

02:03:02:00	02:03:06:00	NET LOSS OF ARTICLE SEVEN OPEN
02:03:06:00	02:03:06:00	SPACE.
02:03:06:00	02:03:07:00	IN FACT THE CONFIGURATION
02:03:07:00	02:03:10:00	RESULTS IN A NET INCREASE IN
02:03:10:00	02:03:10:00	PARKLAND SINCE THE PARKS
02:03:10:00	02:03:13:00	COMMISSION HAS ALREADY VOTED
02:03:13:00	02:03:13:00	UNANIMOUSLY.
02:03:13:00	02:03:13:00	THE COUNCIL CANNOT CHANGE THE
02:03:13:00	02:03:14:00	PROPOSAL.
02:03:14:00	02:03:17:00	THE HRP IS ONLY A PROCEDURE.

02:03:18:00	02:03:21:00	AVAILABLE TO US.
02:03:21:00	02:03:22:00	THE CITY SEES THIS AS A RARE
02:03:22:00	02:03:25:00	AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO
02:03:25:00	02:03:25:00	IMPROVE THE UNDERUTILIZED

02:03:33:00	02:03:36:00	THIS VOTE WILL SUPPORT THE
02:03:36:00	02:03:39:00	CONSTRUCTION OF A 300 BED

02:03:40:00	02:03:43:00	INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR CITY AND
02:03:43:00	02:03:43:00	REGION.
02:03:43:00	02:03:44:00	THE STATE HAS DOCUMENTED THE
02:03:44:00	02:03:47:00	NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL 384
02:03:47:00	02:03:48:00	ADDITIONAL CANCER BEDS AND THIS
02:03:48:00	02:03:51:00	PROJECT WILL DIRECTLY HELP US
02:03:51:00	02:03:51:00	MEET THAT NEED.
02:03:51:00	02:03:54:00	LONGWOOD IS HEART TO OUR
02:03:54:00	02:03:54:00	MEDICAL ECOSYSTEM.

02:04:10:00	02:04:11:00	IT IS LOGICAL BALANCE AND
02:04:11:00	02:04:13:00	URGENTLY NEEDED.
02:04:13:00	02:04:14:00	TODAY MIGHT BE THE FIRST DAY SO
02:04:14:00	02:04:15:00	I'M ON THIS COUNCIL THOUGHT

02:08:14:00	02:08:17:00	ONE QUESTION TO TO THE CHAIR.
02:08:17:00	02:08:17:00	THE LANGUAGE OF THE HRP STATES
02:08:17:00	02:08:21:00	THAT THE MAYOR IS ALLOWED TO
02:08:21:00	02:08:22:00	UNILATERALLY UNILATERALLY MAKE
02:08:22:00	02:08:25:00	CHANGES TO THE HRP IF THE IF
02:08:25:00	02:08:26:00	THE LEGISLATURE SO CHOOSES IS
02:08:26:00	02:08:29:00	THAT LANGUAGE THAT WE'VE PUT IN
02:08:29:00	02:08:30:00	OUR PIECE BEFORE AND IF NOT,
02:08:30:00	02:08:31:00	WHY ARE WE INCLUDING IT IN THIS
02:08:31:00	02:08:31:00	ONE?
02:08:31:00	02:08:32:00	WHICH IS WHY I GENERALLY YOU
02:08:32:00	02:08:36:00	KNOW IT'S A QUESTION THAT I
02:08:36:00	02:08:36:00	WOULD HAVE HAD IF WE HAD A
02:08:36:00	02:08:37:00	HEARING ON THIS BUT YOU WANTED
02:08:37:00	02:08:37:00	TO ASK THAT TOO.
02:08:37:00	02:08:39:00	YOU SO THAT IS AN EXAMPLE THAT
02:08:39:00	02:08:43:00	IS AN EXAMPLE LANGUAGE FROM THE
02:08:43:00	02:08:43:00	LAST ARTICLE 97 THAT THIS
02:08:43:00	02:08:46:00	COUNCIL PASSED WHEN MAYOR WAS
02:08:46:00	02:08:46:00	MAYOR.
02:08:46:00	02:08:47:00	OKAY.
02:08:47:00	02:08:50:00	SO I KNOW THAT I JUST WANT TO
02:08:50:00	02:08:51:00	BE CLEAR THAT MULTIPLE LAWYERS
02:08:51:00	02:08:51:00	FROM BOTH THE PLANNING
02:08:51:00	02:08:55:00	DEPARTMENT AND FROM PDS HAVE
02:08:55:00	02:08:57:00	REVIEWED OUR ARTICLE 97 AND
02:08:57:00	02:09:02:00	ALSO THAT THE EXACT LANGUAGE
02:09:02:00	02:09:02:00	OF WHAT THE PARTS PARKS
02:09:02:00	02:09:03:00	COMMISSION PASSED IS REALLY THE
02:09:03:00	02:09:06:00	ONLY LANGUAGE THAT WE CAN THAT
02:09:06:00	02:09:10:00	ESSENTIALLY THAT THE THERE IS
02:09:10:00	02:09:10:00	SO MUCH THAT IS ON EDITABLE
02:09:10:00	02:09:11:00	ABOUT THIS GIVEN THAT IT'S
02:09:11:00	02:09:13:00	ALREADY PASSED THE PARKS
02:09:13:00	02:09:14:00	COMMISSION AND THERE'S VERY
02:09:14:00	02:09:16:00	SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IN ARTICLE 97
02:09:16:00	02:09:16:00	SURROUNDING HOW THIS NEEDS TO
02:09:16:00	02:09:19:00	GO THROUGH.
02:09:19:00	02:09:20:00	YEAH I'M NOT TAKING ISSUE WITH
02:09:20:00	02:09:21:00	THAT WITH THE FACT THAT WE ARE
02:09:21:00	02:09:24:00	UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT
02:09:24:00	02:09:24:00	FROM WHAT THE PARKS COMMISSION
02:09:24:00	02:09:24:00	IS ABLE TO DO.
02:09:24:00	02:09:27:00	I'M JUST I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT
02:09:27:00	02:09:28:00	LANGUAGE BEFORE SO IT MAKES
02:09:28:00	02:09:28:00	SENSE.
02:09:28:00	02:09:29:00	I WAS WHEN MAYBE I WAS NOT ON
02:09:29:00	02:09:31:00	THE COUNCIL JUST WONDERING WHY
02:09:31:00	02:09:32:00	THAT LANGUAGE IS INCLUDED IN
02:09:32:00	02:09:35:00	THE FOR ARTICLE 97 LIKE WHAT IS
02:09:35:00	02:09:35:00	IT WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT
02:09:35:00	02:09:39:00	ARTICLE 97 THAT WE INCLUDE THAT
02:09:39:00	02:09:39:00	LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS THE MAYOR
02:09:39:00	02:09:40:00	TO ADD IT?
02:09:40:00	02:09:42:00	YEAH, IT I THINK THAT WE WANTED
02:09:42:00	02:09:45:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH IT WAS
02:09:45:00	02:09:46:00	AMENDABLE FROM OBVIOUSLY THIS
02:09:46:00	02:09:49:00	IS GOING TO BE AN ACTIVE
02:09:49:00	02:09:49:00	CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND THAT IS
02:09:49:00	02:09:53:00	BOTH GOVERNED BY WHAT'S PARK

02:10:05:00	02:10:05:00	IT AMENDABLE FOR THE THE
02:10:05:00	02:10:09:00	LEGISLATE AS WELL IF THERE WERE
02:10:09:00	02:10:10:00	ANY EDITS THAT THEY NEEDED TO
02:10:10:00	02:10:13:00	MAKE AND WE PASSED HRP THERE'S
02:10:13:00	02:10:13:00	A NATURE PRESERVE THAT ALLOWS
02:10:13:00	02:10:14:00	THE LEGISLATURE TO EDIT THAT'S
02:10:14:00	02:10:16:00	NOT THE ISSUE WAS JUST I
02:10:16:00	02:10:16:00	HAVEN'T SEEN THE LANGUAGE AND
02:10:16:00	02:10:17:00	WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING IT WE
02:10:17:00	02:10:19:00	HAVE NOT SEEN THE LANGUAGE THAT
02:10:19:00	02:10:20:00	ALLOWS THE MAYOR TO
02:10:20:00	02:10:21:00	UNILATERALLY MAKE THE EDIT BUT

02:12:48:00	02:12:48:00	2025.
02:12:48:00	02:12:49:00	THIS CLOSURE IS PART OF A
02:12:49:00	02:12:51:00	SERIES OF LARGE CORPORATE

02:14:50:00	02:14:53:00	CITING CHANGES IN CONSUMER

02:15:17:00	02:15:20:00	RATES OF HEART DISEASES DRIVEN

02:15:43:00	02:15:44:00	INCREDIBLE DAMAGE TO OUR
02:15:44:00	02:15:46:00	COMMUNITIES AND SO CORPORATIONS
02:15:46:00	02:15:47:00	LIKE WALGREENS AND CVS OUGHT TO
02:15:47:00	02:15:50:00	USE THEIR RESOURCES A WAY THAT
02:15:50:00	02:15:51:00	BEST SERVES THE COMMUNITIES
02:15:51:00	02:15:54:00	THEY WISH TO DO BUSINESS AND
02:15:54:00	02:15:55:00	BOSTONIANS CANNOT AFFORD MORE
02:15:55:00	02:15:56:00	PHARMACY CLOSURES IN THE
02:15:56:00	02:15:58:00	EXPANSION OF OUR PHARMACY
02:15:58:00	02:15:59:00	DESERTS DESERTS WE'VE ALREADY
02:15:59:00	02:16:03:00	SEEN THE CLOSURE ON SEPTEMBER

02:16:06:00	02:16:06:00	ROSLINDALE.
02:16:06:00	02:16:07:00	AND THEN WE ALSO SAW A COUPLE
02:16:07:00	02:16:10:00	OF YEARS AGO THE CLOSURE

02:16:11:00	02:16:11:00	IN HYDE PARK.
02:16:11:00	02:16:14:00	WHAT'S SO SAD IS THAT FOR
02:16:14:00	02:16:14:00	SOMEONE THAT IS TRYING TO GET
02:16:14:00	02:16:17:00	THEIR MEDICINE IS BECOMING VERY
02:16:17:00	02:16:18:00	DIFFICULT TO PICK UP THEIR

02:16:19:00	02:16:23:00	ATTACK THEIR WELL-BEING.
02:16:23:00	02:16:23:00	SO I THINK THAT WE REALLY NEED
02:16:23:00	02:16:27:00	TO BRING IN CORPORATION LIKE
02:16:27:00	02:16:27:00	CVS AND WALGREENS INTO THIS

02:18:09:00	02:18:09:00	THESE CLOSURES ARE NOT RANDOM.
02:18:09:00	02:18:12:00	THEY FOLLOW A PATTERN OF LARGE
02:18:12:00	02:18:13:00	CORPORATE PHARMACIES
02:18:13:00	02:18:16:00	WITHDRAWING FROM LOW INCOME

02:18:21:00	02:18:24:00	MEDICATIONS AFTER A PHARMACY
02:18:24:00	02:18:28:00	CLOSES AND CVS IS ONLY 2020 FOR

02:18:40:00	02:18:43:00	THOSE SERVICES DISAPPEAR ALONG

02:18:43:00	02:18:44:00	THIS IS NOT JUST AN
02:18:44:00	02:18:44:00	INCONVENIENCE IT IS A PUBLIC
02:18:44:00	02:18:46:00	HEALTH RISK.
02:18:46:00	02:18:47:00	BOSTON CANNOT ALLOW CORPORATE

02:18:51:00	02:18:54:00	ACCESS ESSENTIAL MEDICATION AND
02:18:54:00	02:18:54:00	CARE.
02:18:54:00	02:18:55:00	WE NEED TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT
02:18:55:00	02:18:57:00	OF THESE CLOSURES AND EXPLORE

02:20:20:00	02:20:23:00	VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION
02:20:23:00	02:20:23:00	FORWARD.
02:20:23:00	02:20:26:00	WE'VE JUST LOST A WALGREENS IN
02:20:26:00	02:20:30:00	AUSTIN IN RECENT MONTHS AND WE
02:20:30:00	02:20:31:00	HAVE I THINK I JUST DID A
02:20:31:00	02:20:32:00	LITTLE REDIRECT RECKONER HERE.
02:20:32:00	02:20:34:00	WE HAD FOUR WE HAVE FOUR CVS IN
02:20:34:00	02:20:37:00	THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FRANKLY WE
02:20:37:00	02:20:41:00	DO HAVE ISSUES WITH SERVICE AND
02:20:41:00	02:20:45:00	AND LACK OF SORT OF LINGUISTIC
02:20:45:00	02:20:48:00	SKILLS TO HELP OUR NEIGHBORS.
02:20:48:00	02:20:49:00	BUT WE ALSO DO HAVE A GEM A
02:20:49:00	02:20:52:00	COMMUNITY PHARMACY IN THE
02:20:52:00	02:20:53:00	NEIGHBORHOOD CALLED THE
02:20:53:00	02:20:56:00	MELVILLE, OUR PHARMACY.
02:20:56:00	02:20:57:00	IT'S ON COMMONWEALTH AVE NEAR
02:20:57:00	02:21:00:00	NEAR WASHINGTON STREET.
02:21:00:00	02:21:03:00	IT IS ONE OF OUR 2025 LEGACY
02:21:03:00	02:21:07:00	BUSINESSES AND THEY NOT ONLY
02:21:07:00	02:21:10:00	PROVIDE EXPERIENCED PHARMACIST
02:21:10:00	02:21:10:00	PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION
02:21:10:00	02:21:14:00	VACCINES, FREE DELIVERY TO
02:21:14:00	02:21:15:00	CERTAIN LOCATIONS, CERTIFIED
02:21:15:00	02:21:19:00	DIABETES CARE AND EDUCATION AND
02:21:19:00	02:21:19:00	THEY SPEAK A RANGE OF LANGUAGES
02:21:19:00	02:21:22:00	ENGLISH, RUSSIAN, CHINESE,
02:21:22:00	02:21:23:00	SPANISH, ALBANIAN, PORTUGUESE,
02:21:23:00	02:21:23:00	VIETNAMESE AND FRENCH.
02:21:23:00	02:21:26:00	THAT IS WHAT I CALL GOOD
02:21:26:00	02:21:27:00	SERVICE AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
02:21:27:00	02:21:30:00	IMPORTANT IN THIS MOMENT TO
02:21:30:00	02:21:30:00	FOCUS ON THOSE COMMUNITY
02:21:30:00	02:21:34:00	BUSINESSES, THOSE SMALL LONG
02:21:34:00	02:21:34:00	ESTABLISHED BUSINESSES.
02:21:34:00	02:21:36:00	MELVILLE HAS BEEN IN THE
02:21:36:00	02:21:37:00	NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 50 YEARS.
02:21:37:00	02:21:38:00	MANY OF OUR FAMILY OWNED AND
02:21:38:00	02:21:41:00	RUN PHARMACIES AND SMALL LOCAL
02:21:41:00	02:21:44:00	CHAINS HAVE DISAPPEARED BECAUSE
02:21:44:00	02:21:45:00	OF FIERCE COMPETITION FROM THE
02:21:45:00	02:21:48:00	BIG BEHEMOTHS LIKE CVS AND THEN
02:21:48:00	02:21:49:00	THE CLEAR IT'S A BIT LIKE THE
02:21:49:00	02:21:50:00	FIGHT THAT WE HAD WITH
02:21:50:00	02:21:52:00	COMMUNITY BOOKSTORES ABOUT 20
02:21:52:00	02:21:52:00	YEARS AGO.
02:21:52:00	02:21:57:00	THEY CAME IN AND THEY TRIED TO
02:21:57:00	02:21:57:00	PUT OUR COMMUNITY BOOKSTORES
02:21:57:00	02:21:59:00	OUT OF BUSINESS BUT OUR
02:21:59:00	02:22:00:00	COMMUNITY BOOKSTORES ARE STILL
02:22:00:00	02:22:00:00	HERE BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THAT
02:22:00:00	02:22:03:00	EXTRA SERVICE AND THAT'S THE
02:22:03:00	02:22:04:00	MODEL THAT WE NEED TO SEE
02:22:04:00	02:22:06:00	ACROSS OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
02:22:06:00	02:22:07:00	SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE AND
02:22:07:00	02:22:10:00	INVEST IN OUR LOCAL LOCALLY
02:22:10:00	02:22:11:00	OWNED PHARMACIES AND NOT BE
02:22:11:00	02:22:14:00	RELIANT ON THE WHIMS OF BIG
02:22:14:00	02:22:14:00	CORPORATIONS.
02:22:14:00	02:22:16:00	I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT
02:22:16:00	02:22:18:00	TO THE CHARLES RIVER COMMUNITY
02:22:18:00	02:22:19:00	HEALTH CENTER ON WESTERN LOVE.
02:22:19:00	02:22:22:00	THEY HAVE A COMMUNITY PHARMACY
02:22:22:00	02:22:23:00	THERE AS WELL SO OUR HEALTH
02:22:23:00	02:22:25:00	CENTERS AND OUR SMALL COMMUNITY
02:22:25:00	02:22:26:00	FAMILY OWNED PHARMACIES ARE A
02:22:26:00	02:22:29:00	LIFELINE FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
02:22:29:00	02:22:30:00	AT A TIME WHEN THE BIG
02:22:30:00	02:22:30:00	CORPORATIONS ARE PULLING AWAY
02:22:30:00	02:22:33:00	FROM AND CHERRY PICKING THE
02:22:33:00	02:22:34:00	MOST LUCRATIVE LOCATIONS FOR

02:22:37:00	02:22:37:00	THANK YOU.
02:22:37:00	02:22:38:00	WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK
02:22:38:00	02:22:40:00	ON THIS MATTER?
02:22:40:00	02:22:41:00	UM.
02:22:41:00	02:22:41:00	I WANT TO TAKE THE PILLARS FOR
02:22:41:00	02:22:42:00	PUTTING THIS FORWARD.
02:22:42:00	02:22:44:00	I ALSO WANT TO UPLIFT THE WORK
02:22:44:00	02:22:47:00	THAT HAS BEEN DONE.
02:22:47:00	02:22:48:00	I BELIEVE LAST YEAR CULTURE
02:22:48:00	02:22:51:00	FERNANDA ANDERSON HELD A
02:22:51:00	02:22:52:00	HEARING WHERE SHE BROUGHT IN
02:22:52:00	02:22:55:00	CVS BROUGHT IN WALGREENS
02:22:55:00	02:22:58:00	CORPORATE OFFICE TO REALLY TALK
02:22:58:00	02:22:59:00	AND DISCUSS THIS ISSUE.
02:22:59:00	02:23:02:00	WE WERE IN ROXBURY IN FRONT
02:23:02:00	02:23:03:00	OF THE WALGREENS ON WARREN
02:23:03:00	02:23:09:00	STREET TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE
02:23:09:00	02:23:10:00	AND I WANT TO THANK THE ROXBURY
02:23:10:00	02:23:13:00	COALITION THAT HAS BEEN WORKING
02:23:13:00	02:23:14:00	WITH MY OFFICE ON THE PETITION
02:23:14:00	02:23:18:00	THAT WE HAVE BEFORE THE STATE
02:23:18:00	02:23:18:00	BOARD OF PHARMACY A HEARING
02:23:18:00	02:23:20:00	THAT WE WILL HAVE ON DECEMBER
02:23:20:00	02:23:21:00	EIGHT HERE AND THIS BODY AND
02:23:21:00	02:23:24:00	HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO
02:23:24:00	02:23:25:00	PASS THAT ON DECEMBER TEN SO
02:23:25:00	02:23:28:00	THAT WE CAN PUT THAT WE CAN PUT
02:23:28:00	02:23:28:00	THAT PETITION BEFORE THE
02:23:28:00	02:23:32:00	PHARMACY BOARD BECAUSE ONE
02:23:32:00	02:23:32:00	OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD
02:23:32:00	02:23:33:00	FROM A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THE
02:23:33:00	02:23:36:00	BIGGEST THING IS LIKE WE BARELY
02:23:36:00	02:23:36:00	KNEW ABOUT IT.
02:23:36:00	02:23:37:00	SO INCREASING THE NOTICE
02:23:37:00	02:23:39:00	REQUIREMENTS IS ONE OF THE
02:23:39:00	02:23:42:00	IMPORTANT WAYS OF MAKING SURE
02:23:42:00	02:23:43:00	THAT RESIDENTS ARE AWARE
02:23:43:00	02:23:43:00	OF WHAT'S HAPPENING SO THAT
02:23:43:00	02:23:46:00	THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO
02:23:46:00	02:23:50:00	PUT THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS IN AT A
02:23:50:00	02:23:50:00	DIFFERENT PHARMACY.
02:23:50:00	02:23:51:00	AND I THINK THAT THE PHARMACIES
02:23:51:00	02:23:54:00	KNOW WELL IN ADVANCE ALTHOUGH
02:23:54:00	02:23:55:00	THEY WILL TRY TO SKIRT AND NOT
02:23:55:00	02:23:58:00	TELL YOU WHEN THEIR PLANS ABOUT
02:23:58:00	02:23:59:00	CLOSURE IT'S JUST ABOUT WHEN
02:23:59:00	02:23:59:00	THEY TELL IT TO THE PUBLIC.
02:23:59:00	02:24:00:00	IS IT DIFFERENT FROM DIFFERENT
02:24:00:00	02:24:02:00	FROM THEIR OWN FINANCIAL MODELS
02:24:02:00	02:24:06:00	THEY KNOW WELL IN ADVANCE WHAT
02:24:06:00	02:24:07:00	THEIR WHAT WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO
02:24:07:00	02:24:07:00	IN OUR CITIES AND JUST DON'T
02:24:07:00	02:24:11:00	WANT TO FORK OVER THE DATA AND
02:24:11:00	02:24:11:00	THE INFORMATION TO US.
02:24:11:00	02:24:12:00	SO I, I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS
02:24:12:00	02:24:14:00	HEARING TO SEE WHAT MORE WE'LL
02:24:14:00	02:24:15:00	BE ABLE TO GLEAN FROM PEOPLE
02:24:15:00	02:24:17:00	WHO ARE TOO OFTEN PUTTING
02:24:17:00	02:24:18:00	PROFIT BEFORE THE NEEDS OF OUR
02:24:18:00	02:24:18:00	INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE.

02:26:42:00	02:26:46:00	HOWEVER, SINCE BOSTON MISSED

02:27:09:00	02:27:13:00	SEA LEVEL RISE IS A SIGNIFICANT

02:27:18:00	02:27:19:00	I SHOULD SAY I TALKED WITH

02:27:45:00	02:27:46:00	A DIFFICULT APPLICATION PROCESS
02:27:46:00	02:27:49:00	SHOULD NOT BE A REASON THAT WE

02:29:01:00	02:29:01:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
02:29:01:00	02:29:05:00	OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS BP
02:29:05:00	02:29:06:00	HAS HAD A CONTRACT WITH A
02:29:06:00	02:29:09:00	PLATFORM CALLED HUDDLE HQ DL
02:29:09:00	02:29:12:00	THAT PROVIDES ATHLETIC TEAMS
02:29:12:00	02:29:13:00	AND STUDENTS ACCESS TO THE
02:29:13:00	02:29:13:00	ONLINE SPORTS FOOTAGE AND THAT
02:29:13:00	02:29:16:00	THEY CAN SHARE.
02:29:16:00	02:29:17:00	THIS PRODUCT RECORDS THE GAME

02:29:23:00	02:29:24:00	FAMILY AND FOLKS WHO CANNOT
02:29:24:00	02:29:24:00	ATTEND THE GAME.
02:29:24:00	02:29:27:00	I HAVE LEARNED THAT JUST THIS
02:29:27:00	02:29:31:00	PAST WEEKEND THAT THIS THIS WAS
02:29:31:00	02:29:32:00	PROVIDED OVER THE THREE YEAR
02:29:32:00	02:29:34:00	CONTRACT AT $80,000 A YEAR AND
02:29:34:00	02:29:35:00	IT WAS SUBSIDIZED THROUGH ESSER
02:29:35:00	02:29:35:00	FUNDS.
02:29:35:00	02:29:38:00	OBVIOUSLY THAT HAS RUN OUT AND
02:29:38:00	02:29:39:00	SO THE CONTRACT IS NOT BEING
02:29:39:00	02:29:41:00	RENEWED.
02:29:41:00	02:29:42:00	IT WAS JUST IT JUST ENDED THIS
02:29:42:00	02:29:43:00	PAST WEEKEND.
02:29:43:00	02:29:46:00	WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT
02:29:46:00	02:29:46:00	I'VE HEARD ABOUT FROM ATHLETIC
02:29:46:00	02:29:49:00	DIRECTORS AND BP'S FROM STUDENT
02:29:49:00	02:29:50:00	ATHLETES AS WELL IS THAT THIS
02:29:50:00	02:29:53:00	WAS A COVETED TOOL BY BOTH THE
02:29:53:00	02:29:54:00	STUDENTS AND THE FACULTY AND
02:29:54:00	02:29:57:00	STAFF AND BP'S COACHES WOULD
02:29:57:00	02:30:00:00	USE IT TO TEACH THEIR KIDS
02:30:00:00	02:30:01:00	REVIEW GAMES AND TRY AND GO
02:30:01:00	02:30:01:00	OVER HIGHLIGHTS.
02:30:01:00	02:30:05:00	STUDENTS WOULD LOVE TO LOOK AT
02:30:05:00	02:30:05:00	IT.
02:30:05:00	02:30:08:00	THEY PUT TOGETHER PACKAGES FOR
02:30:08:00	02:30:09:00	RECRUITING TRIPS AND TO SEND
02:30:09:00	02:30:12:00	OUT FOR THOSE STUDENT ATHLETES
02:30:12:00	02:30:13:00	THAT MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO
02:30:13:00	02:30:16:00	PLAY AT A HIGHER LEVEL AND GAIN
02:30:16:00	02:30:16:00	THEM SOME SORT OF EVEN
02:30:16:00	02:30:19:00	SCHOLARSHIPS EVEN TO OTHER
02:30:19:00	02:30:20:00	HIGHER EDUCATION.
02:30:20:00	02:30:23:00	AND SO WITH THIS BEING GONE,
02:30:23:00	02:30:26:00	WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS $80,000 A
02:30:26:00	02:30:27:00	YEAR AND OUR $4.6 BILLION
02:30:27:00	02:30:29:00	BUDGET DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT
02:30:29:00	02:30:30:00	.
02:30:30:00	02:30:30:00	I UNDERSTAND THAT.
02:30:30:00	02:30:33:00	UPCOMING WE DO NEED TO BE
02:30:33:00	02:30:34:00	CONSIDERING THE BELLS AND
02:30:34:00	02:30:35:00	WHISTLES THAT WE HAVE AS AS THE
02:30:35:00	02:30:37:00	BUDGET SORT OF COMES UP OVER
02:30:37:00	02:30:38:00	THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
02:30:38:00	02:30:39:00	HOWEVER, IF WE ARE TRULY
02:30:39:00	02:30:41:00	THINKING ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS THIS
02:30:41:00	02:30:47:00	HUDDLE IS USED BY 378 OF THE
02:30:47:00	02:30:47:00	382 HIGH SCHOOLS UNDER THE
02:30:47:00	02:30:51:00	MIAMI IN MASSACHUSETTS.
02:30:51:00	02:30:52:00	SO THERE ARE ONLY FOUR HIGH
02:30:52:00	02:30:52:00	SCHOOLS THAT DO NOT HAVE HUDL.
02:30:52:00	02:30:55:00	SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO SAY ALL
02:30:55:00	02:30:56:00	OF BP'S WILL NO LONGER HAVE
02:30:56:00	02:30:58:00	THIS.
02:30:58:00	02:30:59:00	THAT'S A DISADVANTAGE TO OUR
02:30:59:00	02:30:59:00	STUDENTS.
02:30:59:00	02:31:02:00	SOME SCHOOLS ARE EVEN NOW
02:31:02:00	02:31:02:00	TAKING IT AS A CASE BY CASE
02:31:02:00	02:31:03:00	BASIS.
02:31:03:00	02:31:05:00	I JUST WANT IN TECH BOSTON IS
02:31:05:00	02:31:06:00	PAYING AN EXTRA $900 TO
02:31:06:00	02:31:09:00	CONTINUE BECAUSE THE FOOTBALL
02:31:09:00	02:31:10:00	SEASON IS NOT OVER AND THEY'RE
02:31:10:00	02:31:11:00	USING THIS TO SORT OF CONTINUE
02:31:11:00	02:31:13:00	TO AGAIN HELP OUR STUDENT
02:31:13:00	02:31:14:00	ATHLETES PUT TOGETHER
02:31:14:00	02:31:17:00	RECRUITING VIDEOS TO HELP THE
02:31:17:00	02:31:18:00	COACHES AND THEIR UNDERSTANDING
02:31:18:00	02:31:21:00	AND REVIEWING PLAYERS AND
02:31:21:00	02:31:22:00	REVIEWING GAME TAPE WITH
02:31:22:00	02:31:25:00	PLAYERS AND TO ALSO ALLOW
02:31:25:00	02:31:26:00	AGAIN, IF WE THINK ABOUT THE
02:31:26:00	02:31:27:00	PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO
02:31:27:00	02:31:30:00	ACCESS WATCHING SPORTS WHETHER
02:31:30:00	02:31:31:00	YOU HAVE YOU KNOW A GRANDMOTHER
02:31:31:00	02:31:31:00	AND GRANDFATHER THAT ARE
02:31:31:00	02:31:34:00	PHYSICALLY DISABLED THAT CAN
02:31:34:00	02:31:35:00	MAKE IT OR THEY LIVE IN ANOTHER

02:31:41:00	02:31:43:00	SO WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO DO IS
02:31:43:00	02:31:46:00	HAVE A HEARING ON THIS TO
02:31:46:00	02:31:47:00	FIGURE OUT IF WE CAN REENGAGE
02:31:47:00	02:31:49:00	IT BECAUSE IT IS JUST ENDED.
02:31:49:00	02:31:50:00	THERE IS ALSO A WAY THAT ALL
02:31:50:00	02:31:52:00	OF THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS
02:31:52:00	02:31:55:00	IMPLEMENTED AT THE BEGINNING
02:31:55:00	02:31:56:00	OF THREE YEARS AGO IS NOW GOING
02:31:56:00	02:31:56:00	TO BE TAKEN DOWN.
02:31:56:00	02:31:59:00	THERE'S ADDED COST TO RE TO
02:31:59:00	02:32:00:00	PUTTING THAT BACK IN.
02:32:00:00	02:32:03:00	WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS TRY AND
02:32:03:00	02:32:04:00	SAVE THE CITY SOME MONEY, ALLOW

02:33:28:00	02:33:29:00	THIS HEARING THIS HEARING ORDER

02:33:37:00	02:33:37:00	COULD BE TAKEN DOWN PRETTY
02:33:37:00	02:33:37:00	QUICK.
02:33:37:00	02:33:40:00	I WOULD THE REASON FOR THIS WAS
02:33:40:00	02:33:41:00	TO SIGNAL TO HUDDLE THAT WE ARE

02:35:13:00	02:35:13:00	FLOOR.
02:35:13:00	02:35:15:00	OKAY.
02:35:15:00	02:35:16:00	ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO IN THE
02:35:16:00	02:35:19:00	PARIS AGREEMENT THE WORLD CAME
02:35:19:00	02:35:19:00	TOGETHER TO SET A GOAL
02:35:19:00	02:35:22:00	OF LIMITING GLOBAL WARMING TO
02:35:22:00	02:35:26:00	1.5 DEGREES CELSIUS OVER WHAT
02:35:26:00	02:35:26:00	THE TEMPERATURE WAS DURING THE
02:35:26:00	02:35:27:00	INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION BECAUSE
02:35:27:00	02:35:30:00	ANYTHING OVER THAT WOULD HAVE
02:35:30:00	02:35:31:00	SEVERE CATASTROPHIC
02:35:31:00	02:35:34:00	CONSEQUENCES FOR THE PLANET.
02:35:34:00	02:35:37:00	TEN YEARS LATER WE'RE AT 1.3
02:35:37:00	02:35:37:00	DEGREES CELSIUS OF WARMING AND
02:35:37:00	02:35:41:00	THE PROJECTION IS THAT WE WILL
02:35:41:00	02:35:41:00	EXCEED 2.5 DEGREES CELSIUS IN
02:35:41:00	02:35:44:00	THE YEARS TO COME.
02:35:44:00	02:35:45:00	YOU KNOW WE SHOULD BE TAKING
02:35:45:00	02:35:48:00	STEPS TO REDUCE OUR EMISSIONS
02:35:48:00	02:35:51:00	BECAUSE EVEN IF WE GO OVER 1.5
02:35:51:00	02:35:52:00	DEGREES CELSIUS WE CAN GET BACK
02:35:52:00	02:35:55:00	TO THAT AS LONG AS WE REDUCE
02:35:55:00	02:35:56:00	EMISSIONS AND THE PROJECTION IS
02:35:56:00	02:36:01:00	WE REDUCE EMISSIONS BY 50% BY
02:36:01:00	02:36:01:00	2035.
02:36:01:00	02:36:02:00	THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY TO HAVE
02:36:02:00	02:36:05:00	HELPING US GET TO 1.5 DEGREES.
02:36:05:00	02:36:06:00	BUT IF WE PUT ALL THE POLICIES
02:36:06:00	02:36:09:00	IN THE AROUND THE WORLD GLOBAL
02:36:09:00	02:36:10:00	CHANGE POLICY, CLIMATE CHANGE
02:36:10:00	02:36:12:00	POLICIES TOGETHER WE'RE ONLY
02:36:12:00	02:36:13:00	CUTTING EMISSIONS BY 12%.
02:36:13:00	02:36:16:00	YOU KNOW, WE TOO OFTEN PUT
02:36:16:00	02:36:16:00	SHORT TIME SHORT TERM PROFIT
02:36:16:00	02:36:20:00	OVER THE FUTURE AND YOU KNOW
02:36:20:00	02:36:24:00	AND AND SOMETHING YOU CAN SEE
02:36:24:00	02:36:24:00	THAT WE'RE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW
02:36:24:00	02:36:27:00	IS IN OUR GAS BILLS.
02:36:27:00	02:36:28:00	YOU KNOW, WE WE RIGHT NOW OUR
02:36:28:00	02:36:30:00	GAS BILLS ARE GOING UP EVEN
02:36:30:00	02:36:32:00	THOUGH WE WE USE LESS GAS A LOT
02:36:32:00	02:36:35:00	OF THOSE COSTS GO TO MORE THAN
02:36:35:00	02:36:38:00	70% OF OUR GAS BILLS GO TO
02:36:38:00	02:36:39:00	REPAIRING INFRASTRUCTURE AND
02:36:39:00	02:36:42:00	BUILDING NEW GAS INFRASTRUCTURE
02:36:42:00	02:36:43:00	WHERE WE REALLY NEED TO BE
02:36:43:00	02:36:46:00	TALKING ABOUT GETTING OFF
02:36:46:00	02:36:46:00	OF GAS AND GETTING RID OF THAT
02:36:46:00	02:36:50:00	INFRASTRUCTURE IN FAVOR OF OF
02:36:50:00	02:36:51:00	OF CLEAN ENERGY AND THINGS THAT
02:36:51:00	02:36:54:00	ARE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
02:36:54:00	02:36:55:00	FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
02:36:55:00	02:36:58:00	THIS HEARING ORDER IS SO WE CAN
02:36:58:00	02:37:02:00	DISCUSS HOW THIS CITY CAN SET
02:37:02:00	02:37:03:00	AN EXAMPLE BY CREATING THE THE
02:37:03:00	02:37:06:00	WORKFORCE THAT'S GOING TO MAKE
02:37:06:00	02:37:07:00	GOOD ON THE PROMISES OF THE
02:37:07:00	02:37:10:00	GREEN NEW DEAL AND WE CAN BUILD
02:37:10:00	02:37:11:00	THE KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT
02:37:11:00	02:37:14:00	ISN'T GOING TO DESTROY THE
02:37:14:00	02:37:14:00	WORLD.
02:37:14:00	02:37:14:00	IT'S GOING TO HELP, YOU KNOW,

02:39:09:00	02:39:10:00	THE RECENT ADOPTION OF THE
02:39:10:00	02:39:10:00	STATE'S CLIMATE BILL AND NEW

02:39:13:00	02:39:13:00	DOOR FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY
02:39:13:00	02:39:14:00	SHIFTING AWAY FROM COSTLY AND

02:39:20:00	02:39:21:00	NON PIPE ALTERNATIVES.
02:39:21:00	02:39:21:00	HOWEVER, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
02:39:21:00	02:39:25:00	THAT WE HAVE A WELL-TRAINED,

02:39:29:00	02:39:29:00	THAT MEANS PRIORITIZING
02:39:29:00	02:39:33:00	RETRAINING OPPORTUNITIES,
02:39:33:00	02:39:33:00	PROTECTING SENIORITY AND
02:39:33:00	02:39:34:00	PREVAILING WAGES AND ENSURING
02:39:34:00	02:39:37:00	THAT WORKERS WHO HAVE BUILT AND
02:39:37:00	02:39:37:00	MAINTAINED OUR ENERGY SYSTEMS

02:39:40:00	02:39:41:00	OF CLEAN HEAT INFRASTRUCTURE.
02:39:41:00	02:39:42:00	THIS TRANSITION MUST UPLIFT
02:39:42:00	02:39:44:00	EXISTING WORKERS AND ENVISION
02:39:44:00	02:39:45:00	THEM AS PART OF THE FUTURE
02:39:45:00	02:39:48:00	OF BOSTON'S BOTH BLUE AND GREEN
02:39:48:00	02:39:48:00	ECONOMY WORKFORCE.
02:39:48:00	02:39:49:00	AND THERE'S ALREADY AN
02:39:49:00	02:39:52:00	INCREDIBLE DEMONSTRATION
02:39:52:00	02:39:52:00	OF THIS WORK HAPPENING OR THAT
02:39:52:00	02:39:53:00	HAS ALREADY HAPPENED IN EAST
02:39:53:00	02:39:55:00	BOSTON.
02:39:55:00	02:39:56:00	EAST FARM NOW HAS A MODERNIZED
02:39:56:00	02:39:59:00	STATE OF THE ART GREENHOUSE
02:39:59:00	02:40:00:00	THAT IS CARBON NEUTRAL.
02:40:00:00	02:40:03:00	ACTUALLY NO IT'S NOT NEGATIVE
02:40:03:00	02:40:03:00	BECAUSE IT SEQUESTERS
02:40:03:00	02:40:04:00	CARBON FROM THE ATMOSPHERE AND
02:40:04:00	02:40:07:00	THAT WAS BUILT BY THE GAS AND
02:40:07:00	02:40:08:00	PIPEFITTERS BY A LOCAL UNION
02:40:08:00	02:40:11:00	HERE IN BOSTON.
02:40:11:00	02:40:12:00	SO A JUST TRANSITION IS IS
02:40:12:00	02:40:16:00	POSSIBLE HERE AND I CAN EXTEND

02:40:24:00	02:40:26:00	THANK YOU.
02:40:26:00	02:40:29:00	AND I'LL JUST ADD THAT I THINK
02:40:29:00	02:40:29:00	FOR PUTTING THIS FORWARD I
02:40:29:00	02:40:32:00	THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
02:40:32:00	02:40:33:00	BEYOND TIME THAT WE HAVE THIS
02:40:33:00	02:40:33:00	CONVERSATION.
02:40:33:00	02:40:37:00	I'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION ONE
02:40:37:00	02:40:37:00	OFFS WITH A NUMBER OF UNIONS
02:40:37:00	02:40:40:00	AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
02:40:40:00	02:40:41:00	REALLY DO.
02:40:41:00	02:40:44:00	SENATOR LABOR IN THESE
02:40:44:00	02:40:44:00	CONVERSATIONS AS WE TRANSITION
02:40:44:00	02:40:48:00	TO A MORE JUST IN A MORE CLEAN
02:40:48:00	02:40:49:00	AND A MORE GREEN FUTURE HITTING
02:40:49:00	02:40:52:00	THE GROUND WORK HAS BEEN LAID
02:40:52:00	02:40:52:00	FOR IT.
02:40:52:00	02:40:53:00	I THINK I WAS JUST LISTENING TO
02:40:53:00	02:40:55:00	PUBLIC RADIO YESTERDAY ABOUT
02:40:55:00	02:40:56:00	THE CHANGES AROUND THE COUNTRY
02:40:56:00	02:40:59:00	TO INVESTMENTS AND WHAT THE
02:40:59:00	02:41:00:00	POTENTIAL FOR REALLY
02:41:00:00	02:41:03:00	DIVERSIFYING THE WORKFORCE WITH
02:41:03:00	02:41:07:00	THESE NEW GREEN JOBS.
02:41:07:00	02:41:08:00	HOW MUCH OF THAT IS AT RISK AND
02:41:08:00	02:41:09:00	HANGS IN THE BALANCE THE
02:41:09:00	02:41:09:00	FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT'S
02:41:09:00	02:41:11:00	DISINVESTING IN CLEAN ENERGY
02:41:11:00	02:41:15:00	AND IN THAT DOESN'T WANT TO
02:41:15:00	02:41:15:00	RECOGNIZE A CLIMATE CRISIS THAT
02:41:15:00	02:41:19:00	IS EVER PRESENT.
02:41:19:00	02:41:20:00	AND SO I THINK THIS IS A VERY
02:41:20:00	02:41:23:00	THIS IS AN OVERDUE CONVERSATION
02:41:23:00	02:41:24:00	FOR US TO HAVE AND I LOOK

02:50:14:00	02:50:14:00	RIDESHARE OPERATOR.
02:50:14:00	02:50:17:00	THIS BILL WOULD EFFECTIVELY
02:50:17:00	02:50:18:00	ELIMINATE CONSENT AS A DEFENSE
02:50:18:00	02:50:21:00	FOR A RIDESHARE DRIVER AND MAKE
02:50:21:00	02:50:22:00	IT ILLEGAL FOR A DRIVER TO HAVE
02:50:22:00	02:50:25:00	RELATIONS WITH A PASSENGER.
02:50:25:00	02:50:26:00	THE BILL TREATS RIDESHARE

02:50:40:00	02:50:41:00	TO ALL OF US ENSURING THE

02:50:45:00	02:50:48:00	RIDESHARE AS IS CRITICAL.
02:50:48:00	02:50:49:00	THIS BILL WOULD EFFECTIVELY
02:50:49:00	02:50:49:00	PROVIDE AN EXTRA LAYER
02:50:49:00	02:50:52:00	OF PROTECTION FOR RESIDENTS
02:50:52:00	02:50:56:00	THAT USE RIDESHARES ESPECIALLY

02:50:57:00	02:50:58:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO PASSING THIS
02:50:58:00	02:51:01:00	RESOLUTION TODAY AND LETTING
02:51:01:00	02:51:01:00	THE STATE SENATE KNOW THAT WE
02:51:01:00	02:51:02:00	SUPPORT IT.
02:51:02:00	02:51:05:00	I BELIEVE THIS BILL IS AUTHORED
02:51:05:00	02:51:08:00	BY SENATOR ROUSH.
02:51:08:00	02:51:08:00	IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS I'M
02:51:08:00	02:51:12:00	ASKING MY COLLEAGUES FOR US TO
02:51:12:00	02:51:12:00	COME TOGETHER WHEN IT COMES TO
02:51:12:00	02:51:13:00	THIS CRITICAL ISSUE.
02:51:13:00	02:51:16:00	VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.
02:51:16:00	02:51:19:00	WE ALL HAVE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND
02:51:19:00	02:51:20:00	CONSTITUENTS THAT WE CARE
02:51:20:00	02:51:20:00	ABOUT.
02:51:20:00	02:51:23:00	WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO HAVE
02:51:23:00	02:51:24:00	TO GO THROUGH SIMILAR
02:51:24:00	02:51:27:00	EXPERIENCES AS THE SURVIVORS
02:51:27:00	02:51:28:00	AND THEN HAVING TO PROVE THAT
02:51:28:00	02:51:31:00	THEY DID NOT GIVE CONSENT.
02:51:31:00	02:51:32:00	THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BIG
02:51:32:00	02:51:35:00	TECH OR ANTI INNOVATION.
02:51:35:00	02:51:36:00	THIS IS ABOUT DOING ALL WE CAN
02:51:36:00	02:51:38:00	TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING
02:51:38:00	02:51:38:00	AGAIN.

02:52:09:00	02:52:12:00	HAS DONE A LOT OF REPORTING ON
02:52:12:00	02:52:13:00	THEIR OWN NUMBERS AND THEN I'VE
02:52:13:00	02:52:16:00	ALSO READ AFTER REPORTS HAVE
02:52:16:00	02:52:17:00	COME OUT THAT NEW YORK TIMES
02:52:17:00	02:52:20:00	AND OTHERS HAVE DONE DUE
02:52:20:00	02:52:23:00	DILIGENCE ON THOSE REPORTS AND
02:52:23:00	02:52:24:00	SHOWN THAT THE NUMBERS PROVIDED
02:52:24:00	02:52:27:00	BY THESE COMPANIES DO NOT MATCH
02:52:27:00	02:52:28:00	THE ACTUAL OCCURRENCES OF THESE
02:52:28:00	02:52:28:00	THINGS HAPPENING.
02:52:28:00	02:52:32:00	SO WHEN THE NEW YORK TIMES DID
02:52:32:00	02:52:32:00	AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT, THEY
02:52:32:00	02:52:35:00	SHOWED THAT THERE WAS SOME
02:52:35:00	02:52:38:00	INCIDENT HAPPENING EVERY 8
02:52:38:00	02:52:39:00	MINUTES IN THE UNITED STATES
02:52:39:00	02:52:42:00	WHICH IS FAR HIGHER THAN THEY
02:52:42:00	02:52:42:00	PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
02:52:42:00	02:52:46:00	ALSO THEY'VE TOTALLY TAKEN OUT,
02:52:46:00	02:52:50:00	YOU KNOW, LESS SERIOUS THINGS
02:52:50:00	02:52:50:00	LIKE FLIRTING, YOU KNOW, ASKING
02:52:50:00	02:52:51:00	FOR YOUR NUMBER, YOU KNOW,
02:52:51:00	02:52:54:00	THINGS THAT LIKE WOULD MAKE A
02:52:54:00	02:52:55:00	WOMAN FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
02:52:55:00	02:52:57:00	I JUST WANT TO SAY AS SOMEONE
02:52:57:00	02:52:58:00	WHO USES RIDESHARE TO GET
02:52:58:00	02:53:01:00	ACROSS MY DISTRICT, YOU KNOW,
02:53:01:00	02:53:01:00	FIVE NEIGHBORHOODS, IT'S REALLY
02:53:01:00	02:53:02:00	HARD TO GET AROUND.
02:53:02:00	02:53:04:00	I'VE DEFINITELY HAD THINGS
02:53:04:00	02:53:05:00	HAPPEN TO ME THAT I FELT LIKE
02:53:05:00	02:53:06:00	WERE REALLY INAPPROPRIATE FROM
02:53:06:00	02:53:06:00	DRIVERS.
02:53:06:00	02:53:09:00	LUCKILY NEVER ESCALATING TO THE
02:53:09:00	02:53:09:00	POINT OF ASSAULT.
02:53:09:00	02:53:12:00	BUT I STAND WITH THE WOMEN WHO
02:53:12:00	02:53:13:00	HAVE HAD THESE EXPERIENCES AND
02:53:13:00	02:53:14:00	I WANT TO THANK COUNCILOR FLYNN
02:53:14:00	02:53:16:00	FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
02:53:16:00	02:53:16:00	I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY
02:53:16:00	02:53:17:00	IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THIS
02:53:17:00	02:53:20:00	CONVERSATION AND I'M NOT SURE
02:53:20:00	02:53:20:00	EXACTLY WHERE THIS IS AT THE
02:53:20:00	02:53:21:00	STATE HOUSE BUT I THINK A VOTE
02:53:21:00	02:53:24:00	TODAY WOULD ENSURE THAT AT
02:53:24:00	02:53:24:00	LEAST WE'RE STANDING UP FOR
02:53:24:00	02:53:27:00	SOMETHING THAT MATTERS TO SO
02:53:27:00	02:53:27:00	MANY WOMEN.
02:53:27:00	02:53:31:00	AND THAT WOULD WOULD GIVE A
02:53:31:00	02:53:32:00	LITTLE BIT OF PAUSE TO SOMEONE
02:53:32:00	02:53:33:00	ACTING INAPPROPRIATELY IN A
02:53:33:00	02:53:36:00	POSITION OF POWER.

02:54:57:00	02:55:00:00	AS THANKSGIVING APPROACHES, IT
02:55:00:00	02:55:00:00	IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY
02:55:00:00	02:55:03:00	TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HISTORY THAT
02:55:03:00	02:55:04:00	FORMS THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR
02:55:04:00	02:55:07:00	CELEBRATIONS.
02:55:07:00	02:55:10:00	THE STORY WE TELL OF THAT FIRST
02:55:10:00	02:55:10:00	THANKSGIVING BETWEEN THE

02:55:17:00	02:55:18:00	A HISTORY WHERE THE FIRST
02:55:18:00	02:55:21:00	COLONISTS WERE WERE HELPED TO
02:55:21:00	02:55:22:00	SURVIVE IN THE EARLY YEARS BUT

02:55:25:00	02:55:29:00	OF THEIR ANCESTRAL HOMES TO THE
02:55:29:00	02:55:30:00	NATIVE POPULATION OR A
02:55:30:00	02:55:32:00	COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING DOESN'T
02:55:32:00	02:55:33:00	REPRESENT A CELEBRATION.
02:55:33:00	02:55:36:00	IT IS A YEARLY HAUNTING
02:55:36:00	02:55:37:00	REMINDER OF THE DEVASTATION
02:55:37:00	02:55:40:00	THAT WAS BROUGHT UPON THEM TOO

02:55:54:00	02:55:55:00	OF WAMPANOAG.
02:55:55:00	02:55:58:00	AND IT CHALLENGES US TO
02:55:58:00	02:55:59:00	CONFRONT THE REAL HISTORY
02:55:59:00	02:55:59:00	BEHIND THANKSGIVING AND TO

03:04:01:00	03:04:01:00	FOR US BECAUSE THIS WAS
03:04:01:00	03:04:04:00	SUPPOSED TO BE DONE OVER 40
03:04:04:00	03:04:04:00	YEARS AGO.
03:04:04:00	03:04:08:00	THERE'S BEEN COLLABORATION WITH
03:04:08:00	03:04:08:00	THE TOWNS OF MILTON AND TOWNS
03:04:08:00	03:04:09:00	OF BROOKLYN.
03:04:09:00	03:04:11:00	THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY IMPACTS
03:04:11:00	03:04:11:00	MY DISTRICT BECAUSE THERE'S
03:04:11:00	03:04:14:00	ACTUALLY A CERTAIN THERE'S
03:04:14:00	03:04:15:00	CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS ONE
03:04:15:00	03:04:15:00	STANDS OUT WHICH IS RIVER

03:04:19:00	03:04:22:00	BECOMES BECOMES DEDHAM.
03:04:22:00	03:04:23:00	IF A RESIDENT WERE TO HAVING AN

03:04:31:00	03:04:33:00	SO THIS WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE THE

03:04:48:00	03:04:49:00	ACT FROM SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES.

03:04:52:00	03:04:53:00	THE BILL A DULY SWORN OFFICER
03:04:53:00	03:04:56:00	OF THE TOWN OF DEDHAM WHO IS

03:04:57:00	03:05:00:00	EXERCISE ALL SUCH POLICE POWERS
03:05:00:00	03:05:01:00	WITHIN 500 YARDS INTO THE
03:05:01:00	03:05:04:00	CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY
03:05:04:00	03:05:05:00	OF BOSTON AS IF SUCH OFFICER
03:05:05:00	03:05:08:00	WERE A DULY SWORN OFFICER
03:05:08:00	03:05:08:00	OF THE CITY OF BOSTON.
03:05:08:00	03:05:09:00	SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADHERE
03:05:09:00	03:05:11:00	ALSO TO THE BOSTON TRUST ACT.
03:05:11:00	03:05:12:00	BUT THAT'S REALLY THIS IS A
