12:36 pm
and at that time he was very popping up. what's going on and obviously getting the place some people didn't need to find the stuff on these things that i probably need to find that you need to find that. okay, so they came down the phone to me. i'm just trying to do something with that. try to nanny, came up with that after i did for them that i was sitting on it. that's where the transitions let me put that down since that in getting on the of the how did working on his on site and it's his eyes. whenever that obviously if you feel like you're popular is doing a place where people don't appreciate to don't have a voice that nobody cares that much fully. well, so initially, for me, it was like, uh, i mean i was away. i'm fixing a lot of personal devices when, if i'm sick, nobody guess if i, if i have a good solid, nobody can this nobody to share what,
12:37 pm
what they have those performing for their buds video in the mornings. you'll find them on just there. so i was seeing them as the, as the reload in the front of the car to a theater. he's because the country equals, so i wanted to talk to you via larry. you've done quite a few songs about extrinsic additional cleanings and the police know who can and people who live had lost 3 friends. our in our center done the site because of its security. some kidding. they was beaten after the stronger phone. it was so my, there was, i was hungry and so that's the way i amy i started becoming moving back to social issues on the not anything the 11 a day or 2. we're not, we're not,
12:38 pm
you know, to bump in there. you when and there's also an organization called that you can, yeah. which you work in and you do these projects with young people. can you tell me a bit about what you do with them? ok, so of course that or does it is a community based organization that works with kids from the age of 5 to 17, to ensure that they're safe and easy. so that don't end up day society special vices. he's coming the dates, we to use a class days, drama, class this point. see we play games, it keeps forget the be a monday straight into find the 100 plus the new talents. of course the and someone is he doesn't be moved off and then even any of that to the
12:39 pm
going theory, you corresponded them. it's our social justice center, which is it talk to the old forms of structural vine. and can you explain a bit about what made you want to start the organization? i was born in my body and i grew up in my address for this one biggest fly mean can . now i love my, that is, you know, i was a, have your child. and when i became an adult is when i could see now the violence that the people in my community while going through the cold. let's see the police brutality, the police came in. the local, clean was so growing up in mother is like growing up in a village, but everybody knows everybody. so when something happens to one of us really seen it. so big feelings in particular too much. it was this too much. so the challenge that we formed, but that is social justice center. and were there any past experiences that you
12:40 pm
live in? sorry, that made you want to stop the organization? yes. um, my own brother was killed by a police in to a 7 to void for selection violence in canada. and that with a lot of other young people that have grown up sleep being killed. and this is not just my theory, ellen, this is a story of many young people in the joy to have a friend, a cousin, a brother, a neighbor that was killed by police the winter when no outside them, it, sorry, so here, just as soon as i can you tell me a bit about the work the day today? it every day receive cases from the community on difference of it is that to be a lucky one to bring justice to the community and was most new is it gets, is open this mortality of people who have been arrested with not enough
12:41 pm
reason. i guess of the end of this violence, but we have community engagements, like watching film planting, trees, community cleanup, community have been on stations. and every time we meet a, this sensor, we have to sing because the sun, an energy that comes when we things together and to just i just on to continue watching this class of speaking justice and dignity for people. i wanted to ask you about the time in 2020, when you were a pretest against police brutality and you resisted arrest from 3 of police offices . and there was a huge reaction because the video of this happening went viral and lots of people. so read how was that experience you?
12:42 pm
were you surprised by the reaction in a car? yes, i was surprised that he even went viral. i didn't know it was going to be that impossible . that i i'm a woman that was able to stand up for myself. made the young man in my could me see more emboldened to sign up for themselves in midland field ma household i also have to say that at that very moment it is the pain of every month i have walked with in thinking just as for the sun every case i have documented every single person i have seen lives that lives in my community. i gave me this trend to say that this was enough. and this feeling how much are still the
12:43 pm
so 10 dash, thank you so much for being here today. when we think about the issues that are facing young people, it's interesting that 75 percent of the people in can you out under the age of $35.00, but only 40 percent of youth at registered to vote in the recent elections. why do you think it is that so few people are registered to vote? i'm hearing can yet under the age of 35, i think it was a, a one uh form of existence from the people from the $8000000.00 tenants who did not come out towards i think they was saying that they did not want to be a part of this, they wanted a system that works for them. and on the other hand, i think one thing is important because it's the only way we are going to put someone who could walk for us. but i think it was very loud that they would so
12:44 pm
tired of this system of oppression. and what do you think this? how did you feel about the election and how did young people that you know, speak about the election? remember before left, so new, i mean, we were in a crisis of course the 19 and of course even the death i'm into uh previously there one not even doing a lot of the people. yeah. they were just, uh, making the people just off i lot because the, there was not a lot of coffee. was people people not going to job. so when it comes to people now being told is devoted to why, like, and on the same government didn't gamble with us. why are they getting now? they don't respect the voices. they don't hear what they say, but they one task to do what they see. and that's, that's how we feel like it's what is not possible. it doesn't change anything. the fullest, i feel that sense of accuracy towards the system. i do because women void, see, says the country, good independence with little change, look at the community to where i come from. it's still the same for her to from
12:45 pm
before. so people are beginning to relate with, i mean, why do i even go towards it doesn't change my life in any way. how do you think about change if you withdrawal from the system is that exists now? how can you amplify the issues that matches he mice? i think we need another tentative system that's sense as piece whole at the very call of the issues we have trying to address. how we need to bring about changes, organize ourselves as the youth. and advocate with one voice as one girl about the issues that's much i to us. i feel like we shouldn't take a box it and watch and complain and say this system doesn't work for us. these people are corrupt. it's and we actively organized against that system together. i know the both tell about extrajudicial headings in kenya, around the world. they were conversations around police brutality, and that's at the hands of the police. could you explain to me what it is like in
12:46 pm
kenya in regards to the extra 2 additional cleanings, the medical step in the hashtag blacklist martha. uh, i think it, it might the most in can because uh, personally i've looked 20 plus friends. most of them was killed by police and well justice. and initially this is just specific on the dental. so if you imagine how many happens each end every day and my dad and keep that in, in, in, in the streets. so it's quite a very, very big issue that hasn't been happening and we haven't been getting that solution . and wonder how would you explain it? now, as i'm british colony, when we go to independence, the police service that was serving the colonial government did the change. what did you do, martinez? i became president. ok now. he continued with the same police force that the colonial government was using in their full fussing on that they have practices
12:47 pm
that they told me they would cost up on the people to present the chance leaving and in for most instruments. when judge floyd was killed by 10 year old, yes and miles to the non community. and when we applied the protest to this last day, i, sol canyon's sol invested in calculating much as of late. so you just put the names in the country. usually we will hold our demos, the name, foremost settlements. i think good slater hills can connect said this trouble in the us and us from without hand came out in the large numbers to say, we demand that into ex, any additional documents. so police officers have justified 72 percent of the kennings that have happened alleging that they were result of anti crime operations . and i wanted to ask when in the communities, is that a slight tension that just some people maybe not have sympathy when somebody who was committing a crime dies at the hands of the police and how do you respond to that?
12:48 pm
yes, that happens. but i think it's um, we live in a country that prides itself in upholding visual zillow. what do we have? well, let's say is, if someone has been found doing something wrong, can we have a little before? not can we have them arrested and taken to court and prosecuted instead of the police this id to be the judge and the judy and the executor shawna. because this is what happens most of the time. and this is a crime not just in can no, but everyone else. i do not think police have a right to take away anybody's life when they law that can be followed. for me, the biggest issue has been the quality. they are not treating people the same. like we have been having news like a, a, sat in 5. so let's go to a took mindful day for the government to the se in these governors on news. but then not being killed, why is it that didn't where we leave and then the someone i just the phone,
12:49 pm
it was my dad a cleaning on a, so cleaning all according to the, the little so the we need to, when we need to put it clear that it needs to be an, an important thing that we feel like it's not if it's not to and equally on time do dash, that was the case of calls in being in this like some people in government and stolen dealings made so many tickets. they fits, of course, with names and in the country. and during this period, there was also um, a lot of property in the communities. and actually the police did not as waste the coven dns despite having been a protest. it is the people protesting against this. go with the union, that's what actually i raced it. so what that she's saying is there's a distinction between people who are ceiling to survive. and people who are stealing from the people because their governments told from the poor in that
12:50 pm
particular incent which led them to linger is when you say that you're fighting for justice, what does justice look like? fear? so for me, justice means uh this, this consistent like people shifted. same. uh they said this, this is like following the little moist killed with the police, the one to me, but that's 600 additional kidding to you are not given upon me to be the by the police to conduct a fundraising so us can get funds to the body in which, why don't you have incandescence? because that's, that's almost game that need strong to, you know, given a, find me so for this no invested there. so if i, if i guess is that people shouldn't be treated equally. that's what does this mean schools, and what about you wonder at what is just a sick lie to you and when you're fighting for that, what is it that you're thinking about? my brother was killed by police. justice ideally would look like me getting boss, my brother,
12:51 pm
but that is not possible. so injustice would look like preventing people from losing their loved ones. it's the only thing that would make sense for me sooner is and we, i'm finding that physically needs to solve. so can, is do not have to go through unnecessary paid cost by it's implemented. so has that ever been a time that you have seen just as an action in kenya with regard to, you know, police kennings. if there was a case to all funding of the office supplementing station was over a company station who killed someone in the police station who drowned them in a drum full of water. and as the inmates could see that. and when we documented this case together with the international justice mission, we took it to court and we attended court sessions. we are going to show a certain justice for my team call me and that enlightment when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. and that was the 1st day i saw justice in action in this country
12:52 pm
. and i want to move the conversation a little bit and says, all the areas i know you care about. i want to specifically also talk to you guys about music. it feels like it is really a lifeline view. so for me, music is life. uh, i feel like uh, the way the way people have a power like the police have the gun and they feed ball fully done. so for me, if it's possible, then they have music because it's part of my life. last year we had the case of very beginning to end or where police was looking for a site. and then the southern thief. when did i mean he, he went to, he's friends on some of the defense, so i'm not the so the police ended up getting everybody under the that's all it was all about stop. it's like you're just really getting, we need coincides to the community just to send something like that is social justice centers and all that. and we be good justice to through the power of the ad and we've got new new police. and are there any of the names of people or any other
12:53 pm
examples of cultural or music the you have found to be powerful or inspiring and can? yeah. i've listened to nancy mine and the song, mississippi, and good them about police brutality, the full gus that identify and became a big issue for the black people over there. they went to a protest singing that song, made them feel full possible. and nina himself felt the like headlight side, more the ones we should sing to. and once the struggle of last people, what's your say about then it's still very rel of lunch today in the us. and also we know communities in countries back home and i wanted to ask social media. it's done a lot in terms of sharing messages to do with activities. and how important do you think that has been for you and can you more generally in terms of i'm to find messages like the ones that you care about? most. mostly i've been using social media as a sort of like
12:54 pm
a proof. and whenever you have so many dates, easier to even tell people like this, these are part of the things that they have done. so indeed, a decent time. she had issues with the police when they wanted to like that is how they force a new york. we also that because of the social media. so this means that when we did send, it would be to move off with. and so many people are inspired by high just because of the story. and this is because of the social media. it has even happened both even industry to someone is being that if they've done this using social media to tell people that he has to be noticed and then he hasn't done anything. so i have said that social media have played a very, very big role in terms of documenting issues. one very easy use youtube to teach that kind of alternative history. and i wanted, if you could speak to me a little bit about why you've done that, i love history. i think history is very liberating. when you get to see me know and
12:55 pm
understand. i think present a generation is quite disconnected with our very closely as history of the past. for example, my communities, my, my home in my diary has been around for a 100 years. it's been a century of survival and resistance since 1920 i. my diary has been existing, think it's the oldest, get to him can now. so we've had presidents from 91063 who have done something to change the faith of the people of my life. but they did not. this is we have structural violence comes in that the people in my life continue to be neglected and continue to be exposed to system systemic violence of social injustice this. so when we understand as young people where we are coming from, it will be very easy to, to create like i know future. we want to know for children's children and simon,
12:56 pm
any best i know you care a lot about your community. and i want to hear from you directly. what is it that you're proud of in terms of where you are from, and what your identity is? so uh, of course i'm proud of myself if sick from, from where i've come from and where i am. i'm a needs to, to both of a 1010000 kids have identified their new talents among the successful stories that they have is that about 50 young guys. they cannot end up being and dropping out of school dependencies. but we have monday to get them out of such issue so, so most of a proud of the defies that i've gone through in interesting that things satellite the songs that they have done and all that as a final notes. what is it, despite all of the issues that you have seen that makes you get up every morning? so 5 for a bet today. why is it that you can see needs to do what you are doing? well, i guess my going is knowing that i'm on the right 5 and i'm doing my little thing
12:57 pm
and towards contributing to the betterment of society. like one guy as i said to everybody around there was a little thing towards making so all over the place. so that is my initial thing and i'm happy doing it. there is a now let's wake up every morning to ensure that what i'm being the, i'm not even paid or anything is just because i need to see a good future. i need to see a bit and or i need to see a bit of canyon. i need people to not leave the lives that i have left so that so let's wake up every morning for me to take kids with foods. if i'm really i know, so for the future, can cindy's
