Hello on behalf of the #UnionCarpenters!

01:05:01
I know from personal experience that Unions allows us to break the #CycleOfPoverty faced by communities of color.

01:05:18
Bless you brother Barrie.

01:07:19
Barrie, it is an honor to be in your realm. “I pick cotton so you can pick presidents”. WOW! strong words.

100% would listen to that podcast

01:22:11
Absolutely , Barrie and Shams podcast!

01:24:40
There are a lot of us in the Union. Many have overcome our “colorful” pasts.

01:26:57
If you have any questions, dont forget to send them over to the Q&A section so we dont miss them! Thank you to the questions so far

01:27:53
Ms. Florence is among the best of the best.

01:28:43
Speak truth to power Diane!

01:28:44
they prey on them, the use their past as a shackle for their future.

01:29:05
My god, well said! 1200$..one goes upsate one goes to DOL! Thanks for pointing that out

01:29:56
What should be the punishment for stealing an IPhone from the apple store? just curious. thx

01:29:57
exactly Diana. What is criminal and what is not!

01:30:36
Estee, may clepto therapy? something like they offer for other non violent crimes?

01:31:09
What about if they took it from someone’s bag after threatening them? (is that violent?) Also curious.

01:31:57
Kendra’s Law is by far the most effective assisted outpatient treatment program of any state in the nation.

01:32:07
so that depneds on the burden of proof right? what type of threat? what were they found with? a weapon? what type of weapon then? verbal threat? Grade A clepto threat?

01:32:30
The real crimes are being committed upon communities of color by Predatory Contractors and Developers who enslave generations of Construction Workers!

01:32:46
often workers of color.

01:33:07
Ruben, well said.

01:33:48
Screaming “give me your phone or I’ll kill you”. no weapon.

01:34:15
Thank you Craig. People like Diana Florence have pursued bad actors in the Industry.

01:34:23
Estee..then maybe a joint therapy program. mental health and cleptp therapy.

01:35:00
that doesn’t sound like a deterrent to me

01:35:31
I've learned that about her and support her to the fullest. I have friends of color in the construction and real-estate industry and this is something we disucss frequently.

01:36:00
a deterrent? or a means of reahabilitation? which one Estee?

01:36:23
Is it worth not addressing mental health and maybe an issue like cleptomania?

01:37:00
or do we include that with actual murderers or or those found with deadly weapons?

01:38:56
Murder — by then it’s too late really.

01:40:19
no, your under a different level of thinkinng Estee.

01:40:51
your already considering one guilty without any burden of proof and so on.. very awful state of mind tbh

01:41:18
oh no I’m assuming it happened to me and I was there.

01:41:37
so you were murdered?

01:43:00
you make no sense. "im assuming it happend to me and I was there"? what does that even mean Estee>

01:44:25
I asked a question in the Q&A ... just wanted to ensure it was seen.

01:44:38
Thank you for your insights.

01:45:02
of course Estee.

01:47:08
and this is why she is the best option for this city. She does not know fear, she is a bad ass! Sorry Reverend!

01:47:29
Thank you Diana, #FlorenceForThePeople

01:48:08
Mental Health is key!

01:48:17
Diana Florence for Manhattan District Attorney!

01:48:53
Transitional Programs for those of us coming home!

01:49:51
The #CycleOfPoverty must be broken!

01:52:00
A good District Attorney who understands what our communities face, especially in the world of work, the discrimination, the pressure from companies that exploit us would go along way to leveling the playing field.

01:52:15
Agreed Ruben. WE have quite a few transitional programs tbh.. IT now boils down to which organizations provide the best and most valuable transitional programs.....

01:54:23
During the Great Depression the Unemployed and the Homeless were one in the same.

01:55:11
agreed

01:55:13
A good job with good pay & benefits go along way to avert poverty.

01:55:13
thanks for having me.

01:55:24
Thank you for any amazing Webinar!

01:55:32
