How does that to your experiences . I am the daughter of immigrants, which is something that i talk about a lot and my family is from jamaica. And so growing up and seeing, you know, a lot of the struggles with being 1st generation american, my mom had a really difficult time finding a school within our community. For me, my sisters to go to. And so i ended up having to travel about 40 minutes every day, so it gets as full of, of the majority, a white neighborhood. And so i remember, always asking, you know, why is it that most of my classmates are white, whereas when i go back home, my neighbors are, are black, are emily, Current Community is, you know, and so certain things that i was able to fully understand that until i got older and understood the history of you as the your 24 and youve already graduated from Columbia University where you started a non profit for women of color, coal re believe. And youre also one of the youngest in turns in obama, as whitehouse. If youre most well known as the co founder of free and large new york city, tell me a little bit more about it. I was out on the ground in brooklyn and was seeing, you know, that a lot of processors were out. And were looking for organizers and what you saw was that there was a lot of confusion. And so we created freedom are generally safe voices. And to see how many people you know came together and fit in solid arity. And since that day weve been on the front lines ever since you dedicated your life to the fight for Racial Justice. Have there been any personal costs for yourself . You always have to make the decision that when the bell rings, what exactly is going to be your response . A lot of people say, you know what i have done during the civil rights movement, and my answer is always whatever youre doing right now. Grateful to be able to read my own organization that is black women lead. I am a force and he reckoned with on the front lines. Its not always leverage, its not always easy. Its actually the very tiring, but it has been an incredible journey and will continue to be an incredible journey. The you grew up in a mixed race family and you talk publicly about the discrimination that you faced in school and in your neighborhood going off. One of my earliest memories is actually the house, about 5 or 6 years old, being beaten up in a bathroom by some other kid who can call me the n word. I cant remember anything earlier than that, and that is something that still impacts. And you also grew up in orlando, florida, which is 15 minutes from san for the rectory, one bottom skills in 2012. I saw myself in trouble. No, i was a kid who was at the city bus home bus. Would drop me off about a mile away from the house. And i would walk that mile every single day after school. And thats what happened, a trademark. She was stopped by George Zimmerman, and then the criminal Justice System didnt do anything to hold George Zimmerman accountable. So that was the last offering. What is the importance of data in the side for Racial Injustice in 2014 sort of the price of service . This was 1. 00 of the sort of flash point where the nation can focus on police. Finally, it became clear that there was very little data produced by the federal government to help us understand the problem. For me that meant that 1st thing is to get the data instead of 11. 5 hours. Since im not quite simply visualizes people who are killed by police, the goal is to demonstrate assistance. Indeed, a nationwide problem network requires a systemic, a solution. Youve been working to renew the Racial Injustice for a while. Now. Have there been any personal costs to you . Absolutely. My work is literally compiling reading through analyzing and thinking out how to tell a story about cases of people who have been killed by the news. And otherwise its hard in part because these are lives. These are people detention beans with families. So theres also been physical threats as well, right . So you know, ive had the f b, i show up at my door, then i was starting to get threats. Messages e mails as a young black man in his work like im constantly up against institutions and system is that im much more powerful and yet you know, time and time again, im reminded that this work skills remains important. Thats why the work has samuel and chelsea. Thank you so much for being here today. The 1st question id like to ask both of you, do you think our generation is more politically active than the generations before . And how are approaches different. I disagree with the fact that were more politically active this generation. If you look at history, then you know even a civil rights movement, there were a gang leaders who are on the front lines for that as well. John lewis was 23 when hes spoken to march on washington. Martin luther king organize that. A very young age. I think what were seeing now is in the midst read of a digital age where social media so easily at everyones disposal, that it is a tool kit in ways that we havent seen before, historically, to democratize information, to share resources and ultimately to build the community and i think thats what happened this past summer with the george wide process. But i also think that that is really indicative of the power of community build, say in coalition buildings that were seeing with agend z and millennial generations. So just to be care your seeing that off generation is not more politically active, but what were doing is were using Digital Tools to tools to organize and ways the generations before. Didnt have the opportunity to absolutely correct. Samuel, how would you respond to that . I agree wholeheartedly with that, i think you look just at the sheer number of protests that occurred since the ferguson uprising in 2014 and then again, im after the murder of george floyd and minneapolis, its a scale that this nation has never seen before. You know, we have in terms of organizing, you know, we were learning from organizers all across the world to figuring out how to use limited resources, but access to technologies, access to a phone, access to twitter, but just allow us to go further to go faster to organize more quickly and at a scale that hasnt been passed. What is digital organizing . Then . Digital organizing is how do we actually mobilize and online people skills their talent, their energy, and theyre concerned about this issue with actions that can make the biggest difference towards ending Police Violence towards changing the systems and structures that we produce. Police towns and cities across the country. And chelsea how are using that in your work, digital organizing as how freedom march and why it came to be right. It was through a friend and i coming together and saying that there wasnt enough organized process taking place in new york city, but then its translating that into action items. So what does that be signing petitions, whether that be getting people to come on the ground, whether that be sharing and disseminating information, which is really important, especially in the age of miss information. And so we had our online classes. We had virtual trainings, we had seminars, we had panels, and so it was through that sharing of information that ultimately led to the spread of freedom march n, y c and as is growing so rapidly during the summer, you brought up misinformation. So lets, lets touch on that a little bit. While technology and social media has made it easier for us to mobilize, but it has also led to an increase puerto ization in the country. How do you deal with the distrust in facts . One is sort of radical transparency, so you know, you, in my work, since 2014 is really has been focused on collecting, analyzing, and storytelling, using data. Im to better understand the issue, police fonts across the country, where are some of the hot spots . A police file and where are the places that are actually making progress towards reducing Police Violence and what are some of the policy and system of changes that can be effective in reducing Police Shootings . Police is a forest Racial Disparities and policing. And in the context of that work, and you mentioned this information, there are a set of how called of minutes. And this is this information to, to meet this information, but pre dates and sort of the new round of some social media. What are these . And thats, can you name . I think there are a set of mess around policing that have been around for centuries and really trace back to slavery. Right . This idea on black criminality. This idea that the police are not doing anything wrong, they are merely encountering people who are inherently violent and inherently violent places, which are often cold bugs, which are racist code words, that narrative is pernicious. It exists across the political spectrum. And so part of it is how do we use the tools available to us data, data visualization, organizing, policy making to effectively and directly dispatch all those minutes. And because ultimately, these must have power. The history of our current policing institution was that it was initially created as a slave catching institution. And so when we talk about and doing so many years, right of systemic racism, we talked about the fact that the silver, its movement truthfully never ended. It had just taken on a different form, understanding the data is important, but also understanding that there of course is that intentionality, right . To suppress information. And there is a reason for that. Chelsea, what is the funding, the police this idea around the funding, the please. Lets be very clear. Its a spectrum. Its not a yes or no conversation, especially because the fund, the n y, p d has literally been use as a sensationalizing way to really polarize the country. And in reality, when you kind of break down what the funding please really means is reallocating police resources, reallocating community resources. Now, there is an urgent need to re imagined Public Safety and to dramatically shift and how we approach Public Safety away from the actual policing based approach and towards investing in a Community Based approach in is not a not responding to communities with file. So what are the new ways of imagining safety that you know, our generation are talking about is how do we protect our communities and what does it look like to envision a place where we take the resources that are ultimately present and deeming our young people as criminal and putting that money and that funding into resources for our education institutions and putting that money into health care. Right. And so for us to really understand this, that 1st and foremost understand the history, its to understand tracing of of the money, right in the budget, especially in new york with a lot of the work that we did this past summer around the conversations around the funding and why p d d funding the police, which really just translates to how do we make sure that were putting the resources back into our Communities Just to get a scale of how big i want people to know. One does a police much and look like in different cities. The total amount of money spent on the police, about 11000000000. 00 spent the n y, p d h here, which is the most of any local Law Enforcement agencies in the country. But you know, city across city, Police Departments are a huge expenditure. So in places like oakland, it can be up to 40 percent of the cities general fund. Im going to spend on policing, which far clips is the amount of money spent on, lets say a new jobs programs. If investments in Mental Health as a response to Mental Health crises and the types of things that are actually, you know, far better approaches that are not violent approaches to some of the issues that police are currently responding to. Only about 4 percent of the total amount of time and officer spends about typical shift is responding to bombing crime. So again, what police are spending their resources doing is not about responding to finally crime. Its not about keeping people safe from harm. Is about a whole host of other things that are not about Public Safety and actually on to your appointment, exacerbate the problem and respond with a violence to people who are going through are going to struggles are going through poverty are going through homelessness, are going through Mental Health crises, this is something where we need to re imagine what the response to these issues is. But to get there, we have to debunk and dismantle dismiss that police as an institution exist to keep people safe because the data just simply doesnt support. How can they fix it and they made it in the media. It looks like answering the call to action that so many people have been saying since this past summer and true, please hold for such a long time. It looks like thinking about how do we have more programs like whats being scaled and bringing a Mental Health professionals on the ground with Police Officers. It looks like perhaps completely right, not having Police Officers be the 1st response to every situation that takes place. But having the opportunity to call Health Professionals and im coming in, it looks like funding adequately our education systems, right . All of these things are very tangible. Next steps that we can take. And really what were asking for is a re imagining of how do we go about addressing the needs of our communities and doing so in a way that pushes the conversation forward. And there is nothing radical about that. Is there data then to prove that the funding to police is more effective when we can show with the data, is that there are cities that have begun to pack with alternative responses to some of the things that police traditionally have responded to. In a way, they actually are piloting a correspond or program, which is not as good as having just a Mental Health provider. But this is the Mental Health provider sort of takes the lead, the police play back up and they sort of sit back. What is interesting about the program is the l. A Sheriffs Department which which one is the programming in collaboration with the county Mental Health providers. And they actually found a report last year where they reviewed the program and they admitted the Sheriffs Department admitted that they would have been used for us an additional 600. 00 and more time. And they would have shop for more people if theyre having a band or Mental Health provider on the same d escalating the situation. And thats the police saying t
