Beatook through whatever your covering to see how this plays out now on so many issues on capitol hill, not just ours, but others as well. Mr. Papademetriou the timing of visit need to pass budgets. We will try to do something, and so unless you begin to write s visit next week and keep frustrating editors, you should have an article each nextf your outlets for the 30, 40 days. It is entirely possible the other issues that will simply be fueling the fires of arguments, disagreements, in washington, will quickly make at least that popes allow the message, on climate, may make it something that may disappear from some of the headline within a day, two, or three from his visit. In philadelphia, the local papers, and new york, he will talk about all these issues in several places. Meetingork he will be with migrants an immigrant families. In philadelphia, he will give a speech in Independence Square on immigration. Before he gets down here, you folks will have an opportunity. O create a crescendo effect this way people can pay more attention. But will is message be able to cut through the din of the arguments in washington, considering the other issues, i do not know. Ms. Ryerson this is an interesting site. The third and fourth week of the month, and snap benefits run out by the third week of the month. He will be here during the week of each month that is the most insecureng for food and hungry people. I would like you just need to describe online resources where people can get data and statistics on your particular area of expertise . Mr. Papademetriou i can start. I brought literature sitting in front of the table. Thele will tell you that legitimate and authoritative sources are on this issue. This is what others say. We have an amazing interactive, up to date website where you can get everything you can get on these particular issues. In addition to downloading the encyclical, i would recommend climate. Gov, which is the u. S. Government site. They also have photos and publics material that you can use. I would also recommend i do this because i happen to get in the mail, but national eographic is about the popevisit. Also, a time resourcess on Climate Change in another website are quite useful. Ms. Ryerson you can go to aarp and aarp. Org. There is a reason study on baby boomers and beyond. Site, you can find links to a number of other resource reports on poverty and hunger, or specifically. Roll call, we focus on congress and the daytoday political fights. We have written about the issues that we will definitely have our reporters on the Climate Changed announcement today, and we have focused on issues that make up some of the side things we talked about a little bit, theicularly the opening Cuban Embassy in washington. Several members of congress have said they want to do everything they can to block the nomination, the confirmation of an ambassador to cuba. They are things , onal with at roll call and cq. Com. , other questions . The popes will visit health engaged the u. S. Which is anulation, enormous population, and for each of you, are there activists for your issues that are actively working to engage that population to try to extend impact of the visit . Very much so. Iou there are probably around 75 alien, 76 alien catholics in the United States today. Million, 76 million catholics in the united thinks today. They had been born here and are legally here, but were born outside of the country, like myself. They include people who are illegally here and unlawful, permanent residents, people with green cards. They also include 28 of the total foreignfour ovulation test of the foreignborn fourborn population. Illegalal and immigration has contributed to the growth of the population in the United States. The question is excellent at so many different points. I will stay on this for another minute or so. It was such a long time, i was the advisor to the catholic bishops on immigration about 30 years. 1980 4, 19 85, 1986, 1987 perhaps this was one of these ods of time when we were trying to kill each other when it came to immigration. D immigration at the end of 1986. Two things i remember distinctly, the most difficult thing that i had to do was persuade senior bishops, cardinals to actually go to or to maked testify, any public statements, or to pick up the telephone and talk to powerful people. They did not want to touch that issue. Radioactive. Too everything that we did at that the second problem was the bureaucracy was in the catholic conference. They were at least careful and reluctant to touch issues as the people in the church will. Now you can get any cargo to speak on the issue, design statements, to testify on the hill, to go up on the hill and meet with leaders on the hill. Pope is coming to the United States at the point when the Senior Leadership of the church are extremely active, extremely engaged, and address these issues as a matter of statements, lies inny, and with homi the churches at the local level. I expect this will intensify in the days leading up to the po pes visit, and we may have a comets detailed months after the visit. Will thisestion is make a difference, i do not have the answer to this day. Lumpreider we tend to americans together as a blob. I think that is a mistake. Baby boomers see these issues differently than millennials. 350uld urge us not to see Million People at the same, because they are not. And ont on marriage climate as well. Science,le, on climate if you look at an 80yearold voter and a 25yearold voter and they are absolutely not the same in the climate profile. So i would start by saying that is just a real mistake to think that somehow these are the same of Climate Change, because they are not. Young people have grown up with. P. And environmental science. They did not have that even when i was young. Environmental science is now taught in schools as an advanced placement class. It is easy to say they are political, they are perceived to the utmost generations, and i urge you to dive into it, because one of the reasons you are seeing the change politically is there is a buildup of young people and x we arel power, gen trying to make a difference, but millennials are the wave coming behind the boomers. The second thing i will say is, yes, i think you can see that the Environmental Community is doing a lot organized. There member profiles are coastal. Most members are found on both coasts. A meeting yesterday, they were talking about how many members a Certain Group had in wyoming, and i think it was 10. What you find is there tends to be most of their members in coastal areas. What was justieve said is the most important catholics are geographically dispersed throughout the country. What the Environmental Community does is extremely important, it smaller thanand what the Catholic Church can do in terms of this long cometes tail that was just described, because it reaches a whole set of people in an entirely different way. I will explain that i was touched when i read the encyclical because it talked about life. , whennvironmentalists they read it, the church has a position on like that goes from conception throughout life and opposed to the death penalty. It touched me in a way that i was surprised by, as someone who has been prochoice all her life. Pope and thehis judge has a way of reaching people that is very different than any single Interest Group or linked up set of Interest Groups can do. And so i think organizing is extremely important, but it is different than what the Catholic Church does. Goes out to every catholic school. It ischurch groups just fundamentally different than what you and we understand advocacy groups are capable of doing in terms of reaching communities and children and people at all hatreds. All age that groups. I would say this is different than what we in washington think about postcard campaigns and congress. Calls to it is fundamentally different. I believe that people across the nation care that 45 million americans live children, at 20 are 27 are africanamericans. You raises interesting point butt generations different, the intergenerational connections are really strong. Anything we can do to breach those dialogs, we have a program where youngation people across the nation 15 through college are taking on the challenge to help lowincome seniors, people 50 and older, and we are growing these chapters in schools and colleges, and there is keen interest. That to me is really helpful not only about the dialogue, but also about the actions, and it will be interesting to see whether or not and how colleges and universities and schools beyond this public style public dialogue beyond religion. Foundation, though we did not connect it directly, it is important that the national day of service is just two weeks before the popes visit. On 9 11, aarp is hosting a national day of service on the mall. We will be coming together with core ofgenerational volunteers and 6000 volunteers, to deliver over 1. 2 million meals to those who are hungry in the metro region, with a High Percentage the 50 and older, and it is an opportunity to call to the forefront all the issues facing us for people who live in poverty. Mr. Papademetriou this the intergenerational kind of set of activities, or poor are extremely important. Recall and is is motivated from when he talked about what may or could not happen, and we were surprised with the speed with which issues about gay marriage became a nonissue. I suspect years ago the conversation was about generational conflict. I have seenieve this anywhere in newspapers or anything like that for a number of years. This issue seems to have crested, and now it is intergenerational conversations. Throughout campuses on american colleges, people get credit, people are volunteering to help very old people, whether immigrants or not, negotiate life in their 70s and 80s. Fantastic initiatives, from Temple University to california. In the case of Climate Change, like immigration, where analysts the economics are clear, the effects are clear, they are anything but clear. The science of these is clear when it comes that so you only i do notcome mean to downplay it you only have to overcome so that the politics and perhaps a bit of the economics. I would not be surprised three years from now, i do not know may havethe pope contributed, we reach an accommodation where we start taking steps, that include legislative steps on both of these issues. Wentssue of immigration, i neither be surprised or anything else if somehow people started to put together these feel piecemeal pieces of legislation. Visit becomes a catalyst, i would not be surprised to the it happen as long as to see it happen as long as there is trust between democrats and republicans or the administration and congress. That is what we are missing more than anything else on the issue of immigration, of trust. For people who talk about small pieces of legislation and buildup to resolving some of these issues, those small pieces of legislation can only be by either party if they can trust the other party that they are going to keep their word as to what the next step will be. That is a difficult issue. Mr. Dick in the back. Parallel was his was feet in 2014. It certainlyriou did. We are not talking about outcomes. We are talking about the European Commission engaged in the issue. There have been outside forces, people dying, particularly people dying in large numbers, that have contributed to this. The European Commission has made fourprogress in the past months since march, whatever it is, i six months, then it did on the last 10 years on this issue. Member states are extremely on even. Take the case of germany, you know. Not particularly in washington, the parochialism, and not caring about knowing what other countries are doing, the sense of germany when i do lectures is that the germans do not like immigrants. Over 200,000 asylum applicants last year. It is prepared to take as much Asylum Seekers this year. An amazing number. Can you imagine what would happen . All of them are invited, either parachuting in coming through different ways in germany. 4 of theis about 1 size of the United States. That would be equivalent of 2 Million Immigrants in the year in the u. S. On the other hand, some of the Eastern European countries will refuse to take them if they cannot help it. Auster says they will not budget says they will not adjudicate a single asylum claim this year. Hungary is putting up a border fence. S, they arealai trying to put in five meters high. European member responses are all over the place, the European Commission, whatever authority it has, questionable authority, has been making progress and is is is about trying what to do about this. Unfortunately, they are focusing on the shortterm kinds of know, what do you do when you encounter people in the military in the mediterranean . There is a sense that something but the tough issues, how do you address, how do you keep people protected, create opportunities for them, studying, learning, etc. , in the places near where the major 4 syria . People have left what do you do about jordan, lebanon, turkey, who have taken all of those 4 Million People . These are hard issues. United states has to engage with europe, but we will not tell europe puts that we will not we will not until europe put some skin in the game. Then they can ask us to participate. Thinkannot help but youll see some of these issues lay out on the campaign trail. We have the first Republican Debate on thursday. Republican front runner donald trump has made it a centerpiece of his campaign to build a wall, which coming from a real estate developer, and these issues look him up again and particularly immigration because some of the brincipal rivals, like jef misstated this is an issuebush, that the country has to deal the in a mature manner, iner, marco rubio, a key 2007. So this issue, whether all the candidates want to do with it or at, the issue will, and it is welill come up. Other questions . As aou have anything for last thing that we did not cover, something about the topic , like one last thing you would like to leave our audience with . Mr. Papademetriou Human Trafficking. Noi of everyete conversation. None of these things can happen without facilitation. These are profiteers, they are syndicates, and they are not large enough to be able to penetrate and somehow take them apart. It is Something Like the communist cells toward the end of the era of the soviet union, small operations, you do not know who the next operator is. They make a ridiculous amount of money, and they incur none of the consequences of illegal movement, whether people die, get raped him beat up, god, etc. , etc. All of the costs are being pushed back by the country. When they get to europe, they get pushed back. All of the costs go to the individual. All the fruits of the process go to the trafficker. The pope has spoken clearly about Human Trafficking he has i am sorry you will have to look up who the other leaders are he has signed an agreement with other faith leaders to eliminate Human Trafficking by the year 2020. We know these are not realistic kinds of things, but moral authority, shining the light on one of the ugliest parts of this unregulateds of migration is extremely popetant, may have the has called it as a crime against humanity. Do not be surprised if he speaks about this in the company of undocumented minors. And if you will allow an observation for 30 seconds, this pope has spoken clearly about the complicity of all of this in this illegal immigration game, by focusing on the fact that the benefit from the presence of Illegal Immigrants. This is something that the church in most polite conversations do not really include when talking about illegal immigration. Written elegantly, there are lots of paragraphs if you just google it i will not read it for you saying we all weefit from their labor, love exploiting them, taking advantage of their presence, we discriminate against them, etc. , but we bear some significant responsibility for what is going on when it Illegal Immigrants make it into our country. It is very significant. Ms. Kreider i would not underestimate the fact that the pope took his name from st. Francis of assisi. This is a pope who does not see the application that many of us see between poverty and the environment. The something he comes to seeing both of these things as interwoven. The third thing i will say is this idea of a pope as a globalist indian cyclical he talks about the onedimensionallist technocratic paradigm, which is d. C. In a nutshell. Finally, he talked quite a bit. Bout the desert of the mind comment in there that you feel free as long as he had supposed freedom to consume. I believe that with this, my remarks, when he talked about spiritual fulfillment, i think he feels there has become a confusion in society and each of us as individuals have a role to play in our community all caps up to the global. And that permeates all the issues we estimate about today. Lesso when he talks about is more and humility and serene attentiveness and gratitude, these are not things that are necessarily we do not necessarily look at these things as traits in washington that are in theommon as we work combat environment. I think he is hoping to bring here, to take us out of this culture of relativism and bring this holistic approach cost is issues in washington and appeal to a higher plane within us, whether catholic or christian or a secularist, to try to find a way to communicate in these ways that we can understand on a higher level. I agree. On i believe the holistic approach is one he will emphasize. In looking at and poverty were, we need whole solutions. Nationsd about many around the globe, that hunger in america is far worse than in an
