I've dedicated my life to being a community organizer, building schools and important projects. It's crucial for everyone to care about voting and who is making decisions for our community. We need to elect representatives who share our values and care about what matters to us. By voting, we give them permission to make decisions on our behalf. Let's make our voices heard and take action. Together, as Latino Loud, we can make a difference.

We're discussing the link between our food system and the climate crisis. While we often talk about emissions from vehicles and buildings, we now need to address the impact of beef production. A new emission inventory reveals that food is the third largest source of emissions in cities. A plant-based diet is not only beneficial for our health, but also for the planet. Therefore, we are committed to reducing city food emissions by 33% by 2030 and challenging our private sector partners to reduce by 25% by 2030. We believe that food should be appealing, delicious, and healthy. For those who are serious about cleaning up our environment, we must now prioritize this aspect.

Black lives matter, and achieving equity starts with land ownership. We need to own property and businesses to gain true power, which will lead to political influence. Currently, I don't see anyone in positions of real power who looks like me or shares my background. It's essential to have representation and genuine authority in leadership roles. Without this, our voices remain unheard and our needs unmet.

We've created a diversity, inclusion, and racial justice committee with three goals. First, we need to look inward. Racism is a white people's problem and we need to do the work to fix it. We'll examine race in our court, looking at sentencing disparities and hiring practices. Are we a welcoming, inclusive community? We want to be a just and inclusive employer. The second goal looks at us as an employer, providing a welcoming workplace. The third goal is engagement.

Current statistics suggest there isn't enough leadership or representation.

Vegetation management is a mutual priority. It's important to recognize the changing climate and its effects on forests, and to work together using science. Ignoring climate science and focusing solely on vegetation management will not succeed in protecting Californians. The speaker believes it will start getting cooler, but acknowledges that science may not agree or know.

So I think one area of mutual agreement and priority is vegetation management. But I think we wanna work with you to really recognize the changing climate and what it means to our forest and actually work together with that science. That science is gonna be key. Because if we if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think it's all about vegetation management, we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians. K. It'll start getting cooler. I wish You you just watch. I wish science agreed with you. Hey. Well, I don't think science knows, actually.

Vegetation management is a shared priority, but we need to consider the changing climate and its impact on our forests. Collaborating with scientific insights is crucial; ignoring them will hinder our efforts to protect Californians. While some may hope for cooler temperatures, it's essential to rely on science for understanding these changes.

Our goal is equity, not just equality. Not everyone starts in the same place, so some need more resources to reach the same outcome.

- Role models and influences: The speaker looked to elders and artisans in the community as mentors, including those who built artwork, carried tradition (chanting, drumming), or made items. Family examples included beadwork, basketry, and a father who made blowguns. Despite hardship, these elders remained focused on work and achievement, not poverty. Experiences of discrimination, such as being asked to sit in the back at a cafe in Philadelphia, were acknowledged, as were the sacrifices involved in public service. The speaker references Chief Martin, a predecessor who served in the military and then worked for the people, noting that public service requires sacrificing family and personal desires. The overarching message is that observing role models who worked with their hands and minds to overcome adversity inspired perseverance and responsibility. - Meaning and practice of representation: Representation begins with everyday actions, not just titles—being a giver and community-minded, helping others, and remembering where one comes from. The speaker recalls a generational ethic of work and giving to youth, influenced by parents who uplifted others despite poverty. In formal terms, representation extends beyond local impact to county, state, national, and federal levels, including the possibility of walking the halls of Congress to represent the community’s interests and do the necessary work for its betterment. - Steps for allies and understanding: The speaker advocates for a government-to-government relationship and networking across local, city, county, state, and federal levels to share who they are and why they act as they do. Emphasis is placed on respecting different perspectives and optics—acknowledging that one side may not see what the other sees—and the importance of mutual respect in all interactions. The core idea is that effective allyship and understanding come from open, respectful dialogue that recognizes diverse experiences and viewpoints.

Equity is a key focus for the DWP, which is what attracted me to this role. My background in utilities and nearly 20 years in the Coast Guard have shaped my perspective. It's crucial that we approach our work with an equity lens and prioritize social justice, addressing past infrastructure injustices while actively involving the community. This utility is genuinely committed to these principles, and I'm excited to be part of this important movement.

Diversity and inclusion are widely recognized as positive concepts. However, it's essential to incorporate equity into the conversation.

Unfortunately, statistics indicate a lack of leadership and representation in this area.

Low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately affected by extreme conditions and issues that are not their fault. To address this, we must provide resources based on equity, recognizing that not everyone starts from the same place. While we strive for equality, we also need to consider the disparities and work towards achieving an equal standing for all.

We're organizing a Marshall Plan to rebuild California, focusing on inclusivity for all affected communities. Discussions are underway with city leaders, civic leaders, business leaders, nonprofits, and labor leaders to coordinate recovery efforts. We're exploring philanthropy for recovery, seeking federal assistance for both the Olympics and rebuilding efforts, and galvanizing community support. Our goal is to efficiently address the scale of this tragedy through streamlined project delivery, improved building codes, and permitting processes. This approach aims to ensure resilience in our rebuilding efforts.

I want to thank Governor Polis and Mayor Hancock for their leadership and for hosting the city summit in Denver. This summit brings together mayors, governors, indigenous leaders, and various networks to address global challenges at a local level. We made commitments on migration, climate change, democratic governance, and economic growth at the last summit in Los Angeles. City leaders play a crucial role in tackling these challenges, from integrating migrants to responding to natural disasters and public health crises. Cities are where democracy is closest to its people, allowing for accountability and innovative solutions. We will continue to prioritize the voices of city leaders in our work, including at the upcoming 10th Summit of the Americas. This is just the beginning of many city summits to come.
