 We have to bid everyone farewell. So our topic was housing and home ownership, wonderful dialogue. I mean, our groups have asked the better members, wonderful, creative dialogue place, just the multitude of things we have. As far as what are the specific, specific topics to housing was gentrification, that Dean came up with. What do we do? Who do we ask? Where do we go? With all the knowledge in that room, we were able to converse that, you know, there's disassociation, there's discount profit, et cetera. So we were able to gather some of that. But in addition to that, we also talked about communications. How do we get the work out to neighborhoods where this is going to happen, or on the verge of happening? What do we do here? And so in the day and a half or a couple of hours or something, we came up with that we need to start, for example, with our native officials and staff. We need to organize ourselves to be able to attend meetings. And sometimes we may not want to attend those meetings because we need to see that things happen to you. But we need to attend. We need to be a presence in those rooms when things are taking place. We also had the information, again, as it be, how are we going to inform the residents of what's going on? Different ways. But for us, Adidas, it's face-to-face usually, like going door-to-door or eating like this, having those conversations, getting the work out. We also talked about reportable housing. How San Antonio doesn't talk about this topic. And how it doesn't seem to be an importance to the city. So again, how is our presence going to be there? How are we going to show the city the message that we need this, our families need this? So again, it's going back to the organizing and how are we going to, as you say, want to get to the next level. We also talked about, I mean, anything, but as far as policies, which policy, you know, which one are we going to go and work on that they need some fixing or a new policy? And if you agree that we need to do at least assessment kind of, you know, we need to go ask. We do ask the neighborhood, we need to ask people, what is it that needs to take place? We can't assume or we can't just think just because we have an idea that it's good for all of us. So we need to actively get into our neighborhoods. And immediately all the oil is down to the grassroots, going down and speaking to people face to face. We also had conversations, again, on communication, how we can also perhaps, through that communication, get involved with associations as well, different nonprofits, et cetera, to get the word out. That seems to be a problem in housing and other states that our communication is not applied here. So we need to drive different avenues because lots of things are passing. For example, PBHCA, these are kind of, appear to be kind of secret, you know, to know what's going on and maybe the agenda is getting to date before but not, and not really having enough time to tell us what questions to ask, et cetera. So there was a lot of great, as I mentioned, conversation and the bottom line that we, as a group, came up to was it also is going to take both for us to get out there and have the people vote and get one of them white or two vote and also give them information that perhaps they not be familiar to them but explain it to them because all of the housing, education, health boils down to, so that's what we did. I mean, we have a lot more information and of course on up here that, you know, some people can share it, right? Oh, yes. So that's what we did. Okay, you have the services in. Can we ask you a question? What would you all prefer? Just go for it. I'll go first and then you can donate the funding. Yeah. I will work this technology. Technology. Buenas tardes. ¿Cómo están? ¿Casaditos? ¿Y usted que cansaba? We started, of course, we had a wealth of information and really powerful discussions. The second day, sharing with everyone, my personal experience in the last, you know, from yesterday to today, I'm trying to move so you don't hear that feedback. I would maybe just not use the mic. Yeah, is it better? I can hear you well. Yeah, you know what? Because I get distracted by that. So what I shared with the group was that I went to the hotel, the hotel room and I was 30 to 50 persons. And I said, wait a minute. You know, I stand here on the backs of people that have been here, you know, like 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 years ago, 500 years ago. By the way, the path to poverty started about 500 years ago, right? And so, again, I stand here as the main person in my family, like all of you. And so it's not all doom and gloom. We are powerful. I am powerful. I stand here on the backs of my father who was a truck driver and my mother who picked cotton and like all of us, and were powerful. And that gave me energy to engage in this dialogue. By the way, I'm a bureaucrat. I infiltrated bureaucracy to see how things work and try to find loophole. Are you recording me? No, I'm not recording you. I'm actually the lead up on that. So every day, I remember, and as I was doing that thinking, I got a picture of my knee. And this is my, this is my granny's. I don't have grandchildren, I have granny's. And I remember that she will be standing here because the change that we are fighting for and working for and struggling for is going to be so that they can say they're standing on our backs, right? And I remember her in reminding me what day today is and it gave me energy, but it also connects to our families, right? And yeah, as we speak right now, benefits from going to Head Start, participating in programs that people fought for, fight for us to have. And when you see her interact, you see the impact that early education, very early education has on us. So thank you, Hawa, for letting me share that personal part of me during the facilitation. We looked at key issues. And as we were looking at key issues, can you see that? Well, I'm not a natural user, so I can make that very big. We talked about all these contributors to health outcomes, right? And we look at what these contributors, what impact they have on our health. And so we use, most of the time when we talk, and you see my hand moving, most of the time when we talk about policy, we tend to talk about health behaviors. We tend to talk about violent arts. Somehow, if you have more food, if you eat healthy, you'll live longer. If you go out and exercise, you'll eat healthier when some of the families that we talk to don't have sidewalks in their communities to go and walk. So all of that. But I put this up here just to share with you that as we were having our discussions, we focus our data log around the issue of social and economic factors. And how these social and economic factors affect the health and wellbeing, the economic mobility of our families. So that was part of the framework. And those of you that participated in the dialogue can please feel free to ask. So the key issues that came up that Dr. Faria laid out for us yesterday around health have to do with the need to focus on on planting pregnancy, that's a key issue in our community. The health insurance access to healthcare as well, primary illness, diabetes, HIV, homicide, all those health issues were presented by Dr. Faria and we are meeting yesterday. The other piece that she talked about was the, I hope I'm gonna give her credit here. This whole thing of, we talk about babies, Latino babies are being born so healthy, right? So somehow they're gonna be okay. But we often forget that as we are aging and the chronic illnesses of our aging population kind of get forgotten about. So those who are just in a very high level summary, in terms of policy recommendations, we came up with three. And the first one was of course comprehensive, comprehensive health insurance. Both in terms of, we don't just need insurance, we need access to services. There were lots of stuff, there is below that. The other piece that we talked about is living wages. So one of the overarching or a hot moments or whatever you wanna call it that we came up with is that health is affected by everything around us, right? Our housing, our work, whether we're employed, whether we're employed, how much we're earning, our education, so all those things affect our health and well-being. So that's how living wage came up in a discussion about health. Then the third one was around education. And education at all kinds of levels, right? So education, pre-K to third grade, all the way up to college, that's like the traditional type of education that we tend to talk about. But also other types of education where we are developing the workforce, social workers, doctors, nurses, there are out there to be as knowledgeable as the policy, amazing folks like Eva are about policy in how money works in politics because we don't often do that. The other type of education that we talked about was educating just communities. How many of our communities really know the issues that we're talking about right now? So what are we doing to, it's almost like infiltrating and take the information to the deepest roots of our community that is in our community. So those were like the three main policy pieces. The other thing that when we were talking about capacity building, what capacity did we have? We engaged in a dialogue about what are our assets? What groups are out there pushing that they know the same things that they don't focus on policy. So we came up with several categories. We do have assets, because it's not like we're starting from ground zero. There are a lot of people out there, lots of groups that can help us move this along. So we came up with a list of that. And this is where I told the group, you know what? I feel, you know, you have to get out of it, right? Because there was a part that we needed to talk related to short-term, mid-term and long-term strategies, right? So what we focused on then was that there has to be different strategies. It can, and I heard it say here, it can't just be all of us have to go out and vote, right? It can't just be all of us have to go and talk to legislators. Or all of us, it's gonna take all of those strategies. They were grandmas in the group. And strategies, where are my grandmas? Yeah. The strategies that they're using to mobilize their community is equally important as a vote that we can get somebody to go and take. Right, that's very important. So that's how we framed that discussion in terms of strategies. The other thing, I don't know if it was so much for the group, but it was an aha for me, right? We were looking at what policies impede our progress. What policies that keep us from economic mobility, or the economic mobility of our families. And what policies enable us to move forward. And as I was looking at that, I was thinking, oh my God, so which one do we target first? Do we focus our energies in these policies that are so detrimental to our community? Focus on these that are helping? And of course it takes, we have to focus on both. Then Juan, Nicuelito Juan, he kind of threw water on me. When he said, I'm throwing you under the bus, Juan. But you know, it's okay, you can't do this at all times. You know, he put something for the group about, you know, we keep going to the well, knowing there's no water there. Did I capture that right? She knew you were there, right? So to me, back to your presentation from yesterday about just how the budget and the funding, that's how it works. So what is it that we need to do incorporating our strategies, right, to go at that? To ensure that, yes, we're working with community at all levels between education, why we want equal access to health care and so on and so forth and yet that well needs a strategy from all of us. I believe that's the part of the sparse. I'm going to go with the discussion. Anybody else from that group want to add anything of the, you're welcome. Okay. I was in the group, so I'm playing another role, okay? You better not go there for the bust. I said, don't say that. Are you done here with me? I just want to add to the idea of the well, okay? And nobody wants to talk about it, that's taxes and it takes the tax code. You know, Ella said, I know you'll focus in on who's paying the taxes disproportionately more, okay? You all saw that graph. And the majority, a large portion of that population in Texas is our families, who are in that category, particularly 200% below low income and low poverty, okay? And if we have a philosophy in this state and ideology that can keep the budget continuously below what's even needed to basic state needs, right? So why aren't we advocating for restructuring taxes and tax code? Now, immediately, the response even in our group I think was, I don't know much taxes. Who said more taxes? Do you think that our people know what they're paying the taxes right now compared to others in our population? Exactly. So that's all I was trying to point out is that, so when you think about, I'm not saying none of these strategies are important, but in the context of things, even in our group, just in healthy human services, mental health wants more money, CPS wants more money, Medicare expansion, Medicaid expansion, want more money, caregivers want more money, and not a simple one, maybe one would be lucky if the legislator played a little budget games and gave a little bit to caregivers, okay? So if we're getting all health, or this past year, we might all be okay. So that's just in that part. What about the group in education that wants equitable funding? That means we really need another three billion, or the group in housing, or the group in labor employment. So I'm just posing the question to you. If we're all going to do well, and spending a lot of energy, and particularly if they have what they call the fiscal note to it, our fiscal materials, in some ways we're in conflict, even across these issues. So about in healthy human services, so that's why we're not about the taxes. Right, thank you, that's it.
