 This is what democracy looks like. It caused memory, tension challenges due to kids' brains and the crash statistics for F-forces. Initial Reburlington Fire Department on May 3rd. In economic justice at UVM, we recognize that our fight is intimately linked to our struggles against systems of domination. We stand in solidarity with the immigrant and immigrant farm worker community here in Vermont. Housing reform and the abolition of hikes. The testimonies my team and I gathered from the 267 we collected this summer. It reads, quote, I was an orientation leader summers ago and the chief of police came out using Taser on one of our black orientation leaders, but it didn't sound like a joke. The University of Vermont campus police department in order to construct a more equitable... And we walked back. Abolition of ice or the detention centers, we're here to stop criminalization, we're here to get at the source, we're here to get after we've divided attention, the meaning when we come here we fight for all of these causes, not just ice, not just marches, we need to go beyond the sub tweets, the hashtag, the Facebook brands, we need to go beyond it all. We need to flood not only the streets, but we need to flood town halls, we need to go in and talk about changing our system on the local level and beyond. We need to make sure that we go into the town halls and say, if the conversation is not started yet, talk about changing the laws against police brutality, against racism about racial profiling, whatever is in the book, change that because it's not working. Make sure that once you do change that, that you're actually upholding those new laws that you're putting in place. We need to go beyond just the marches, beyond just the sub tweets, beyond the hashtag. We need to make actual change and come for it all. We can't just come here for pieces, bits and pieces. I'll leave it at that. Trauma-informed, problem-solving, or community engagement. Policing is inherently violent, liberation or healing by reforming a system rooted in oppression. Overdue, it should be nothing less than intentional, swift, and fully supported by all institutions that exist. Many institutions exist to support populations police often target. These institutions have a responsibility to refrain from calling them to support our safety. We demand our cities and towns provide the public with access to free first aid training that is not done by cops of intimidation or criminalization and must come to an urgent end. It produces and enfold the problems of our poverty out of sight so that we do not have to confront them. This begins by removing the criminalization of occupying public spaces, things such as loitering harm to the well-being of our community, these things that endanger our community. We demand the police departments, setting our public meetings to be held at police stations that our community members have faiths filed against other officers without having to waste unnecessary resources. Community members also deserve to know what information this institution is collecting and maintaining on them. We demand insured public access to all data collected by police departments, learning the true history of policing and its generational impacts on our communities. For many black and brown students, the presence of police on their school campuses puts them on a fast track for entering directly into school to prison pipeline. We demand no more police workshops or visits to schools in the immediate removal of school resource officers. Our control and dehumanization is to permanently end homelessness and provide educational funding for free school breakfast and lunches, technological infrastructure, and the transition to proficiency-based grading, lower class sizes, and decolonized education used for state and local law enforcement officers seeking information regarding aliens encountered in the course of their daily enforcement activities, then this is not for you. Simply agreeing with these demands does not absolve you or me of the sins of our sick society and we must actively work to counter them through political education, collective healing, and strategically fighting every barrier that keeps these in place. I'll be someone who waits till tomorrow. For today, there will be another lynching. For today, there will be innocent bloodshed of someone's father, someone's mother, someone's child, my dad, or my sister, and for them, those people tomorrow will never come. But if we took the street again after leaving in front of DHS, that they would shut this protest down. Do we agree with that? We show up anyway. What's wrong with this country? Of faces. And I'm a little bit surprised that I don't recognize more of these faces because I've been out at BPD with the activists there. I've been at marches, I've been at activities organized by the Black perspective. I've been on calls with the Black Lives Matter of Greater Burlington and we truly are asking for everyone to step into the way that these issues are intersectionation of Black people means the liberation of all any of these individual issues that you connect the dots that you seek to learn and understand how they are intersecting and how together we can dismantle and we also can't just be in the legislature. We need both. So for those of you who are here with us in the streets today, I expect you to have an active dialogue to a point where your representatives and their staffers address you by name and stop sending you writing in, calling in, being relentless because oppression is relentless. This is for immigrant rights on social media to learn more about upcoming actions. Again, involved with migrant justices, milk with cadence for large corporations to pay more for milk so local migrant workers can have better working conditions and wages. You can get involved in how to create fair and impartial police policies that will ensure that police are prevented from collaborating with ICE. This is for immigrant rights on their social media about how to get one started. And right now, as people have said, there is a 24-7 protest. The people will be protesting until Joseph Crowe, Jason Balavan and Scum of Scum are going to be fired.
