TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. PLEASE CALL THE FIRST SPEAKER. SAVY SHABAZZ, PLEASE.[1. ID 24-0076 Addresses to Council – February 15, 2024]
GOT TWO MINUTES, RIGHT? IT'S ONLY TWO IN THE EMAIL. TAKE A BREATH. YOU GET A LITTLE LONG WINDED. GOOD EVENING. I'M SAVY SHABAZZ. I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US AT NOW IN KENTUCKY. AND LIFE COACH EACH ONE TEACH ONE ENTREE FELLOWSHIP. IN REGARDS TO OUR CAMPAIGN TO REMOVE THE INVOLUNTARY SLAVERY CLAUSE OUT OF OUR CONSTITUTION. TO END INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY. BEGINNING WITH THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE. SECTION 25 OF THE KENTUCKY CONSTITUTION READS. SLAVERY AND INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE IN THIS STATE ARE FORBIDDEN, EXCEPT AS PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME. WHEREOF THE PARTIES THAT HAVE BEEN DULY CONVICTED. I'VE BEEN DULY CONVICTED. NO EXCEPTIONS TO SLAVERY SHOULD EXIST. IN OUR STATE OR NATION. ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE. ALL OF US ARE KNOWN KENTUCKY IN COALITION WITH THE NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND STATE. AND LOCALLY. IT'S HELPING TO LEAD. THE WORK TO REMOVE THE SLAVERY CLAUSE OUT OF OUR CONSTITUTION. AND IT IS DETERMINED TO INTRODUCE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. TO THE STATE OF KENTUCKY TO FURTHER CHALLENGE AND REMOVE ALL ACTS OF SLAVERY. I WILL SAY WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING. WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE A COMPANION BILL. WE HAVE A HOUSE BILL 295. WE HAVE A SENATE BILL. 117. PRISON SHOULD NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT CHEAP LABOR. IT CANNOT FUNCTION. ASK ME HOW I KNOW. SO RESIDENTS CURRENTLY INCARCERATED PEOPLE ARE IN FACT ESSENTIAL WORKERS. TO MAKE PRISONS WORK. IF AN ADULT IN CUSTODY WANTS TO SEND A LETTER HOME, THEY NEED TO BUY SUPPLIES TO JUST DO SO. STILL ENVELOPE. 50 CENT 60 CENT. OR EVEN HAVE TO BORROW AND[00:10:06]
SOMETIMES WITH LITTLE TO NO PAY. THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE THE ONES WHO PICK UP THE TAB. WITH NO ONE ELSE SENDING MONEY TO A PERSON INSIDE. HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE? THEY'LL FIGURE IT OUT. AND THEN A LOT OF TIMES IT LEADS TO MORE TIME AND LONGER SENTENCES. THEY'LL FIGURE OUT THE BLACK MARKET. SUCCESSFUL REENTRY. BACK TO FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. BUT FAILED TO MAKE THE HUMANE CHANGES NEEDED TO ACTUALLY DO IT. SO ALL WE TALK ABOUT IS REENTRY JUSTICE REFORM, BUT WE CONTINUE TO FAIL TO ACTUALLY DO IT. ALONG MY JOURNEY WITH INCARCERATION. I REMEMBER WORKING FOR THE SALVATION ARMY. FEW BLOCKS OVER. THAT JUST RECEIVED A $3 MILLION GRANT FOR THE DEMOLITION. AND RENOVATION. TO OLD TRANSFER TO OLD MALE HIGH SCHOOL. AND I HAD A HOST OF OTHERS HOUSE AT DISMAS CHARITIES. OPERATED UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS. P 63 CENT A DAY. TO DO THE DEMOLITION WORK. AND THE LABOR NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE JOB LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. JUST LAST YEAR, VOTERS IN VERMONT, OREGON, ALABAMA AND TENNESSEE VOTED TO AMEND THEIR STATE'S CONSTITUTION. IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE AND THE STATE OF KENTUCKY STAND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. AND ALSO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO FINALLY END SLAVERY FULLY AND COMPLETELY. WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS. AND I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THAT REENTRY COMMUNITY THAT FORMALLY INCARCERATED COMMUNITY. THAT DIRECTLY IMPACT THE COMMUNITY.AND ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AS A CITY. THANK YOU, MR SHABAZZ. DEBORAH O'GORMAN.

WE DID TWO PETITIONS. THEY HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU ALL AND WE DO THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE'S MONEY THAT GOES FOR ELECTIONS. I MEAN FOR THIS THEY MADE, UH 87 87,000.

[00:15:03]

SO THAT'S PONY WITH A P. UM. SO BEFORE I START, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR OUR HOUSELESS PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAS, UM, PASSED AWAY FROM OUT THERE IN THE STREETS. SO WE SAW THE OTHER DAY THAT THORNTON'S IS CLOSING, OK? UM, WE SEE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE HOUSELESS PEOPLE OUT THERE AND Y'ALL THINK IT'S AN EYESORE. IT'S A LIFESTYLE. AND.I'VE TOLD Y'ALL THIS MANY TIMES, IF YOU DON'T KNOW, UH, I'M A VOCAL KENTUCKY. I'M A HOMELESS ORGANIZER. UM AND I WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE. FOR 15 YEARS. I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. AND WHAT KILLS ME IS THAT THE MAN ACROSS THE STREET? UM. SITS HERE AND HE'S FOR HOUSE BILL FIVE.
THE UNSAFE KENTUCKY ACT. AND WE CONTINUE TO SIT HERE AND HAVE THESE HOUSES IN THE WEST END. WE SIT HERE AND HAVE THESE HOUSES IN THE EAST? I MEAN, IN THE SOUTH END. JUST CRUMBLING BACK TO NOTHING. IF Y'ALL THINK THAT WE HAVE A HOMELESS PROBLEM, LIKE I TALKED TO ONE OF THESE METRO CITY COUNCIL GUYS ONE DAY, AND HE SAID WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE THEM TRASH BAGS SO IT CAN PILE UP SO IT CAN BE SOMETHING ELSE? YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T WE GET THESE GUYS HOUSES? WHY DON'T WE DEAL WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES? SO WHY DON'T WE AS YOU GUYS SET UP HERE? CAR LIKE SOME OF US REALLY DO CARE. AND GET BACK TO THE COMMUNITY FOR REAL. INSTEAD OF JUST HEY, I'M FOR THE RICH. AND HERE, HERE AND HERE. I DON'T. I DON'T SEE NONE OF THAT. I JUST SEE THE RICH KEEP GETTING RICHER. AND THE POOR KEEPS GETTING POOR. AND FOR ANY OF YOU GUYS TO SIT UP HERE AND BE LIKE, WELL, I SUPPORT THE HOMELESS, BUT I'D RATHER SEE THEM IN JAIL. I'D RATHER SEE HIM DEAD. OR I'D RATHER JUST GET RID OF THEM. YEAH, THAT WOULDN'T BE NO BETTER THAN THE HOUSE. AND THE SENATE IN CAPITOL OF FRANKFURT RIGHT NOW. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOURSELVES IN THE MIRROR I KNOW SOME OF Y'ALL DON'T LIVE, PAY CHECK TO PAYCHECK. BUT JUST IMAGINE IF YOU D AND THAT NEXT PAYCHECK DIDN'T COME. AND YOU GOT KIDS. BECAUSE I DO. YOU DON'T GET TO CALL HOME. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK NOBODY FOR NOTHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TOO MUCH PRIDE. PRIDE KEPT ME IN THE STREETS. LOVE GOT ME OUT. I'M DONE. THANK YOU, MR MORRIS. THANK YOU, LENA YASIN. HELLO. MY NAME IS LENA YACINE. I'M HERE AS A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER FROM LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT HUMANITY. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE CEASEFIRE RESOLUTION THAT WILL HOPEFULLY BE PRESENTED TO YOU IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. I WILL START BY A STATEMENT I READ ON THE ISRAELI HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH WEB PAGE IT STATES. ISRAEL'S REGIME OF APARTHEID AND OCCUPATION IS BOUND UP IN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION, BETSY WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS, UH, WATCH STRIVES TO END THIS REGIME AS THAT IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD TO A FUTURE IN WHICH HUMAN RIGHTS, DEMOCRACY, LIBERTY AND EQUALITY ARE ENSURED TO ALL PEOPLE, BOTH PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS. AS YOU ARE AWARE, GAZA HAS BEEN INDISCRIMINATELY AND DISPROPORTIONATELY BOMBED FOR OVER 130 DAYS AND HAS BEEN UNDER SIEGE FOR OVER 17 YEARS. AND JUST AS ISRAEL HAS USED STARVATION AS A TACTIC TO PUNISH CIVILIANS FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS, IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO THAT WITH GREATER INTENSITY OVER THE LAST 130 DAYS WHEN IT ANNOUNCED ON DAY TWO OF ITS AGGRESSION THAT NO FOOD, NO WATER, NO FUEL, NO ELECTRICITY WILL ENTER GAZA. NOW WE KNOW THAT 80% OF THOSE WHO ARE STARVING IN THIS WORLD LIVE IN GAZA. THE EUROMED HUMAN RIGHTS MONITOR STATES THAT 100,000 PALESTINIANS ARE EITHER DEAD. INJURED OR UNDER THE RUBBLE AND LESS THAN 140 DAYS AND OVER. PERCENT OF THOSE THAT ARE INJURED ARE CHILDREN. AND 90% OF THE POPULATION HAS LOST
[00:20:06]
THEIR HOMES AND ARE CURRENTLY DISPLACED. ALTHOUGH IT MAY SEEM OBVIOUS WHY A CEASEFIRE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED MONTHS AGO YET I AM HERE 130 DAYS LATER DEMANDING FOR A CEASE FIRE. CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE FOR THOSE 20,000 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN WHO HAVE LOST ALL THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.PARENTS SIBLINGS, UNCLE, AUNTS AND COUSINS AND ARE CURRENTLY UNDER THE MERCY AND CARE OF GOOD PEOPLE IN THE STREETS. 20,000 CHILDREN ALL ALONE WALKING MILES TO FIND WATER TO FIND THAT ONE MEAL A DAY. COLD HUNGRY, SLEEPING ON THE STREETS WITH NO LAP TO KEEP THEM WARM. CALL A CEASEFIRE FOR THEM. AS AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST WHO TREATS DIABETIC PATIENTS. I WANT YOU TO CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE FOR EVERY PALESTINIAN PATIENT WHO HAS DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART DISEASE, KIDNEY FAILURE WHO ARE HANGING ON TO LIFE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE, BECAUSE ISRAEL HAS BOMBED EVERY SINGLE HOSPITAL IN GAZA. CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE BECAUSE JUST LAST NIGHT ALONE OVER 40 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN WERE KILLED BY BOMBS. HUNGER OR COLD WEATHER KILLED BY A MAN MADE DISASTER THAT CAN BE STOPPED. CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE BECAUSE NO ONE CAN BEAR SEEING MORE TINY ARMS AND LEGS BEING AMPUTATED CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE FOR EVERY PALESTINIAN MOTHER WHO HAD TO COLLECT THE PIECES OF HER BABIES OR SAID, DO NOT PUT MY BABIES IN THE FRIDGE BECAUSE IT'S TOO COLD FOR THEM. CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE BECAUSE THE WORLD WILL NOT BE DESTROYED BY THOSE WHO DO EVIL BUT BY THOSE WHO WATCH THEM DOING ANY, UH, WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. OUR ACTIONS REVEAL OUR MORALS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR. THANK YOU. SAMUEL MEANS. SAM. YOUR MEANS. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL. UH, COUNCILMAN WINKLER. HOW ARE YOU DOING? ALL RIGHT, UM. I WANTED TO, I GUESS, COME AND SPEAK IN REGARDS TO THE, UM. REDEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE GOING ON. AND ONE IN SPECIFICALLY A TOWN NAMED AFTER MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER, UH, FAIRY TALE, ALFRED BERRY. BOUNDARY IN 1875 HISTORICALLY BLACK TOWN. HAD BEEN MAINTAINED IN THAT. WAY FOR THE LAST OR SINCE 1875. EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE LAST 89 YEARS. WE ALLOWED DEVELOPERS TO COME IN. AND THEY STARTED BUILDING. BUT THEY WEREN'T REPLACING. THE HOUSING WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE KEEPING THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE HISTORICALLY BLACK TOWNSHIP THE SAME SO WE GO FROM 80 TO 90. TO PROBABLY ROUGHLY NOW, MAYBE ABOUT 25. THAT SHOULD BE A PROBLEM. WE'RE TOTALLY CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS, HISTORICAL DEMOGRAPHICS. NOT ONLY THAT. WE'RE STILL FAILING TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE 70.8. UH, EUROPEAN AMERICANS. THAT A HOMEOWNERS YOU HAVE 36% AFRICAN AMERICAN. THE HUGE DISPARITY. IT MAKES IT LOOK EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU HAVE DEVELOPERS COME IN. KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE THIS DISPARITY SETTING BEFORE THEM. AND WE DON'T REQUIRE A DEMAND THAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO BE ZONED TO GO IN AND STAY, YOU STILL HAVE TO PUT HOUSING IN SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING. BUT YOU LET THEM DEEM SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING. AS APARTMENT BUILDINGS THAT DOESN'T CREATE HOME OWNERSHIP FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS.
ALL IT DOES IS CONTINUE TO KEEP US AT A DISADVANTAGE. IT CONTINUES TO KEEP US DISENFRANCHISED. CONTINUES TO ALLOW US TO GO ANOTHER GENERATION WITHOUT B AND WEALTH.
WHO ARE EVENTUALLY WE PUSHED OUT . WE BECOME THE RESIDUE OF THE PROMINENT EUROPEAN AMERICAN.
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE. MOVING INTO THE AREAS WHERE THE DEVELOPERS WERE ABLE TO GET CHEAPER LAND. AND DEVELOP. AND PUT US IN DIFFERENT BRACKETS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. BURY DOWN YEAH, IT TRIED TO HAPPEN ONCE BEFORE, BUT UH, WE HAD PEOPLE WITH
[00:25:06]
LEADERSHIP. THAT DEMANDED THAT THEY BUILD HOMES. AND SO WE MOVED AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES BACK IN THERE, SO WE KEPT THE DEMOGRAPHICS THE SAME. THIS TIME HAS NOT HAPPENED. AND I'M ASKING. THAT IS COUNSEL THAT WE STOP GIVING OUT THESE PERMITS. AND ALLOWING THESE PLACES TO BUILD AND HISTORICALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS. BARRY TOWN JUST ONE YOU GOT RUSSELL NEIGHBORHOOD . YOU GOT OTHERS WHERE NORTON IS BUILDING HOSPITALS. EVENTUALLY, THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THE DOCTORS. ARE GONNA WANT TO BUILD HOME. THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO KEEP THEIR EMPLOYEES CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL. GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? THEY'RE GONNA BUILD APARTMENT COMPLEXES. AFRICAN AMERICANS WILL BE MOVED SOMEWHERE ELSE IN SOME OTHER FORM COMPLEX. WE DON'T CHANGE THE DEMOGRAPHICS SOMEWHERE. YOU GUYS ARE ELECTED. TO REPRESENT US. YOU'RE OUR VOICE. WHEN WILL YOU STAND? IS WHAT I'M ASKING. WHEN WILL YOU STAND AND MAKE THEM DO WHAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR METZ. JONATHAN GROSS. THANK YOU, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JONATHAN GROSS. I AM THE SON OF THE LATE FRED GROSS, A HOLOCAUST EDUCATOR IN KENTUCKY AND ONE OF THE NAMESAKES OF THE INCLINE AND FRED GROSS HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE EDUCATION ACT. PAST IS HP 128 IN THE 2018 LEGISLATURE.MY FATHER WAS A CHILD SURVIVOR OF THE HOLOCAUST UPON THE INVASION OF BELGIUM IN 1940, MY FAMILY FLED INTO FRANCE, WHERE THEY WERE INTERCEPTED BY AUTHORITIES AND SENT TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMP. MY FATHER'S OLDEST BROTHER, SAMMY WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE INFIRMITY OF GERS AND SECURE EXIT VISAS FROM A SYMPATHETIC MAYOR OF A NEARBY TOWN. THEY LEFT AND REMAIN IN HIDING THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND BEFORE IMMIGRATING TO THE US.
I'M NOT HERE TO PUT WORDS IN MY LATE FATHER'S MOUTH. I'M HERE TO SPEAK FOR MYSELF BASED ON THE VALUES THAT HE TAUGHT ME, ONE OF WHICH IS THAT SILENCE AND NEUTRALITY IN THE FACE OF ATROCITY IS COMPLICITY. AND WHO WOULD I BE IF I DID NOT SPEAK OUT RIGHT NOW IN THE FACE OF THE GENOCIDE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE IN THE GAZA STRIP, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE ATTACKS ON OCTOBER 7TH WHILE LARGELY TARGETING MILITARY INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE BORDER OF THE GAZAN CONCENTRATION CAMP WALL TOOK MANY INNOCENT LIVES, INCLUDING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN.
THIS IS A TRAGEDY AND MADE THEIR MEMORY BE A BLESSING. HOWEVER A SECRETARY OF THE GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, ANTONIO GUTIERREZ, SAID THIS ATTACK DID NOT HAPPEN IN A VACUUM. THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TIME ALLOTTED FOR US TO DEBATE IF ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES, OR EVEN OF ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST AS A SETTLER, COLONIAL ETHNO STATE, WHICH HAS A LEGALLY OCCUPIED THE WEST AND GAZA STRIP, SINCE 1967 BUT IN PART IN THE HARSH ANALOGY, LET'S SAY THAT IN THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE, A GROUP OF ARMED MEN KILLED A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AND THEN WENT ON THE RUN IN VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE CITIZEN. LEADERS OF THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE DEEM IT JUSTIFIABLE TO CARPET BOMB AND LEVEL TO THE GROUND. EVERY SINGLE BUILDING, KILLING EVERY CIVILIAN WITHIN A 200 M DISTANCE FROM THOSE SAID INDIVIDUALS. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT YOUR ANSWER WOULD BE NO. ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING SERIOUSLY AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GAZA CAN SEE THAT WHAT ISRAEL IS DOING CAN IN. NO WAY BE CONSIDERED DEFENDING ITSELF. COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT OF A CIVILIAN POPULATION IS ILLEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW, INTERNATIONAL LAWS THAT THE UNITED STATES WAS A KEY PART OF ESTABLISHING AND HAS A DUTY TO UPHOLD. IN URGING THE METRO COUNCIL TO ENACT A CEASEFIRE RESOLUTION. I FEAR WE ARE ALREADY TOO LATE. CURRENTLY ISRAEL IS BOMBING RAFAH, WHICH HOLDS 1.4 MILLION DISPLACED PALESTINIANS AND WAS FORMALLY DECLARED A SAFE ZONE OVER 28,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE GAZA STRIP SINCE OCTOBER. 7TH THIS INCLUDES OVER 13,000 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN THIS PAST WEEK WE HAVE WITNESSED THE ASSASSINATION OF THE SIX YEAR OLD GIRL, HIND RAJAB, ALONG WITH SIX MEMBERS OF HER FAMILY AND THE TWO AMBULANCE DRIVERS THAT WERE SENT TO THE MURDER SITE TO SAVE HER LIFE THIS WEEK. I'VE WITH MY OWN EYES. IMAGES OF A YOUNG GIRL HANGING OUT OF A BOMB BUILDING IN RAFAH, HALF OF HER BODY COMPLETELY GONE. HOW CAN OUR GOVERNMENT CONTINUE TO FUND THIS WANTON ANNIHILATION OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE? NONETHELESS THIS REQUEST OF THE METRO COUNCIL IS THE LEAST THAT I CAN DO WITHIN MY POWER TO SPEAK OUT. MY FATHER WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. HE MADE IT OUT. BUT 1.5 MILLION JEWISH CHILDREN DID NOT. AND THIS WAS PARTLY BECAUSE THE WORLD DID NOTHING. THANK YOU, MR GROSS. KEELEY ROBINSON.
HELLO MY NAME IS KAYLEE ROBINSON . I AM HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION. I AM HERE TO DEMAND THAT METRO COUNCIL CONSIDER THE CEASEFIRE RESOLUTION THAT WILL BE UP FOR A VOTE SOON. I AM HERE TO ASSERT THAT THE PEOPLE OF LOUISVILLE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE ROUGHLY $9 MILLION OF OUR TAX DOLLARS THAT POUR INTO THE COLONIAL ISRAELI PROJECT. WE
[00:30:05]
REJECT CLAIMS THAT THE ONGOING AMERICAN FUNDED GENOCIDE DOES CONCERN OUR CITY, THE PALESTINIAN FAMILIES OF LOUISVILLE ARE GRIEVING THEIR MURDERED LOVED ONES. THIS SHOULD CONCERN OUR ENTIRE CITY. THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING POURED INTO THE APARTHEID STATE WHILE OUR CITIZENS SLEEP ON THE STREET UNDER OVERPASSES AT ABANDONED BUS SHELTERS OR IN THEIR CARS.YEAH THIS SHOULD CONCERN OUR CITY. THIS IS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT COULD BE USED TO HOUSE AND FEED THOSE IN NEED. PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE TO OUR CHILDREN OR REHAB, THE FAILING INFRASTRUCTURE OF THIS CITY. WE WILL NOT THAT THE GENOCIDE OF A PEOPLE DOES NOT CONCERN OUR CITY . IT'S CONCERNS EACH AND EVERY LOUISVILLE A GENOCIDE THAT IS NOT ONLY CARRIED OUT MONETARILY BY OUR TAX DOLLARS, BUT BY LOUISVILLE MADE WEAPONRY. THAT NOT ONLY BUT ALSO TAKES DIRECTLY FROM THE HANDBOOK OF AMERICAN DESTRUCTION AND MASSACRE. SEE TULSA, OKLAHOMA. 1921 ELAINE, ARKANSAS. 1919 ROSEWOOD, FLORIDA 1923 AND MANY OTHER MASSACRES. WE ARE NOW WATCHING LIVE STREAMS AS OCCUPYING FORCES OF ISRAEL MERCILESSLY BOMB RAFAH, THE ONLY REMAINING SAFE PLACE FOR STARVING AND DISPLACED PALESTINIANS. RAFA THE PLACE THAT THE LEADERS OF THE ISRAELI SETTLER PROJECT TOLD THE PALESTINIANS THAT THEY COULD FLEE TO FOR SAFETY. WE CHARGE GENOCIDE. WE WILL NOT PUT STOP PUTTING PRESSURE ON OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS OF THIS CITY. WE WILL PUT PRESSURE FOR THEM TO END THE FUNDING OF AN APARTHEID STATE THAT ATTEMPTS TO SECURE ITS EXISTENCE THROUGH THE VIOLENT ELIMINATION OF PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. I AM ASKING YOU TO VOTE YES, AND TO SUPPORT THE CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION. IT IS THE BARE MINIMUM AND IT IS THE NECESSARY FIRST STEP TO UPHOLD THE TRUST OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY. AND OF THIS COUNTRY WHO WILL NOT STAND FOR OUR TAX DOLLARS AND OUR LABOR TO BE USED IN SUPPORT OF GENOCIDE. WE CALL FOR AN END TO THIS CITY'S FUNDING OF AND AID TO THE APARTHEID STATE OF ISRAEL AND AN END TO THE OCCUPATION AND A FREE FREE PALESTINE. THANK YOU, MISS ROBINSON.
