1
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:07,500
>> AMANDA, THANK YOU.

2
00:00:03,966 --> 00:00:10,033
AND NOW WE GO BACK TO NICK

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,733
BLUMBERG WHO IS IN EVANSTON AS

4
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:12,100
PART OF OUR "CHICAGO TONIGHT"

5
00:00:10,033 --> 00:00:13,766
"IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERIES"

6
00:00:10,733 --> 00:00:14,166
AND HE IS JOINED WITH THE

7
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:15,033
INCOMING MAYOR.

8
00:00:13,766 --> 00:00:19,400
>> NICK?

9
00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:21,566
>> THAT IS RIGHT.

10
00:00:15,033 --> 00:00:23,100
I'M HERE WITH MAYOR ELECT DANIEL

11
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,633
BISS YOU ARE SET TO BE SWORN IN

12
00:00:21,566 --> 00:00:26,366
ON MONDAY.

13
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:27,800
COVID-19 AS I DON'T SEE HOW IT

14
00:00:24,633 --> 00:00:29,300
COULD BE ANY OTHER WAY WAS A

15
00:00:26,366 --> 00:00:32,833
HUGE PART OF YOUR CAMPAIGN

16
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:34,233
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RECOVERY.

17
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:36,666
HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THAT COVID

18
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:38,266
RECOVERY IS EQUITABLE?

19
00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:41,233
>> IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE

20
00:00:36,666 --> 00:00:41,600
WE GET SHOTS IN ARMS WHICH WE

21
00:00:38,266 --> 00:00:44,066
ARE DOING A GOOD JOB HERE IN

22
00:00:41,233 --> 00:00:46,566
EVANSTON.

23
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,600
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO FILL ALL OF

24
00:00:44,066 --> 00:00:50,100
THESE STOREFRONTS AND OFFICES

25
00:00:46,566 --> 00:00:52,533
THAT WE SEE NEAR US HERE.

26
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,966
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE COME

27
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:55,533
BACK WITH AN EXE THAT IS MORE

28
00:00:52,533 --> 00:00:56,900
EQUITABLE THAN THE ONE WE HAD

29
00:00:53,966 --> 00:00:57,900
BEFORE THAT MEANS PUTTING

30
00:00:55,533 --> 00:01:00,266
RESOURCES IN THE HANDS OF

31
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:00,933
ENTREPRENEURS OF COLOR.

32
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:01,900
AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND

33
00:01:00,266 --> 00:01:04,833
COLLABORATION WITH THE HIGH

34
00:01:00,933 --> 00:01:06,566
SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

35
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:08,633
AND EMPLOYERS TO MAKE SURE THAT

36
00:01:04,833 --> 00:01:11,433
YOUTH HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.

37
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:13,300
THERE IS AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT

38
00:01:08,633 --> 00:01:14,800
AND IF WE SEIZE IT WE CAN BUILD

39
00:01:11,433 --> 00:01:16,900
A MORE JUST ECONOMY BUT WE HAVE

40
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:18,533
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

41
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:21,400
>> YOU'VE SAID THAT EXAMINING

42
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:21,766
THE EVANSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT

43
00:01:18,533 --> 00:01:24,200
AND BUDGET IS A DAY ONE PRIORITY

44
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,533
FOR YOU.

45
00:01:21,766 --> 00:01:27,966
A LOT OF FOLKS RETHINKING

46
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,433
POLICING THEY MIGHT HEAR

47
00:01:26,533 --> 00:01:30,466
ACTIVISTS USE PHRASES LIKE

48
00:01:27,966 --> 00:01:32,400
DEFUND THE POLICE THAT CAN BE A

49
00:01:29,433 --> 00:01:33,433
NO GO FOR THEM.

50
00:01:30,466 --> 00:01:35,333
HOW DO YOU HELP CREATE SPACE FOR

51
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,566
THE CONVERSATIONS?

52
00:01:33,433 --> 00:01:37,300
>> I DON'T TRY TO GET MIXED UP

53
00:01:35,333 --> 00:01:40,033
IN THE QUESTION OF WHAT LANGUAGE

54
00:01:36,566 --> 00:01:42,233
OTHER PEOPLE USE.

55
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:43,466
WHAT I WANT TO DO IS WORK ON

56
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:43,833
FACTS AND DATA AND THE BASIC

57
00:01:42,233 --> 00:01:46,966
VALUES THAT WE HAVE AS A

58
00:01:43,466 --> 00:01:48,833
COMMUNITY.

59
00:01:43,833 --> 00:01:51,033
AND THOSE VALUES DICTATE A MORE

60
00:01:46,966 --> 00:01:52,633
HUMAN THIS PARTICULAR APPROACH

61
00:01:48,833 --> 00:01:55,266
TO PROVIDING FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

62
00:01:51,033 --> 00:01:57,400
WHERE THE DEPLOYMENT OF FORCE

63
00:01:52,633 --> 00:01:58,866
AND VIOLENCE ARE A LAST RESORT

64
00:01:55,266 --> 00:02:00,700
NOT A FIRST STEP AND THAT MEANS

65
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,066
BUILDING UP OUR CAPACITY WITH

66
00:01:58,866 --> 00:02:04,300
MENTAL HEALTH CARE, SUBSTANCE

67
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:06,166
ABUSE TREATMENT AND FORMS OF

68
00:02:02,066 --> 00:02:08,333
VICTIMS SERVICES DIFFERENT WAYS

69
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:09,966
OF DOING TRAFFIC STOPS AND MORE.

70
00:02:06,166 --> 00:02:11,266
IF WE DO THAT PROPERLY NOT ONLY

71
00:02:08,333 --> 00:02:13,200
ARE WE PROVIDING A BETTER

72
00:02:09,966 --> 00:02:15,733
QUALITY OF SHARED PUBLIC SAFETY

73
00:02:11,266 --> 00:02:19,300
FOR ALL, WE'RE SUPPORTING OUR

74
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,600
POLICE OFFICERS RATHER THAN

75
00:02:15,733 --> 00:02:22,466
ALLOWING A MISSION THAT HAS THEM

76
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:24,833
DOING THINGS THEY WERE NOT

77
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,400
TRAINED FOR OR SIGN UP TO DO.

78
00:02:22,466 --> 00:02:27,233
>> WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT IN THE

79
00:02:24,833 --> 00:02:28,400
PACKAGE ABOUT EVANSTON'S

80
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,833
REPARATIONS PROGRAM.

81
00:02:27,233 --> 00:02:31,766
THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY.

82
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,300
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO BE INVOLVED

83
00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:33,700
IN THAT PROGRAM?

84
00:02:31,766 --> 00:02:35,266
HOPES OF EXPANDING IT?

85
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:37,366
>> YES.

86
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:39,066
WE ARE I THINK RIGHTLY PROUD

87
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:40,233
HERE IN EVANSTON TO BE LEADING

88
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:41,733
THE COUNTRY IN ESTABLISHING A

89
00:02:39,066 --> 00:02:43,633
MUNICIPAL REPARATIONS PROGRAM

90
00:02:40,233 --> 00:02:44,300
AND I'M EXCITED BUT IT'S

91
00:02:41,733 --> 00:02:46,433
IMPORTANT TO SAY WE HAVE JUST

92
00:02:43,633 --> 00:02:49,066
BEGUN.

93
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:50,466
RECENTLY THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZED

94
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:52,700
THE FIRST 4% OF THE REPARATIONS

95
00:02:49,066 --> 00:02:54,700
DOLLARS THAT WILL BE GOING OUT

96
00:02:50,466 --> 00:02:56,633
THE DOOR SHORTLY THAT LEAVES 96%

97
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:59,266
OF THE MONEY THAT WE STILL HAVE

98
00:02:54,700 --> 00:03:00,366
TO DETERMINE HOW IT WILL BE

99
00:02:56,633 --> 00:03:02,700
ALLOCATED AND WHAT PROGRAM

100
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:05,066
DECISIONS WILL BE MADE AND GROW

101
00:03:00,366 --> 00:03:08,266
THAT POT BECAUSE BY THE WAY, THE

102
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:09,366
MONEY COMING IN SO FAR DOESN'T

103
00:03:05,066 --> 00:03:11,200
ADDRESS ALL THE EQUITIES AND --

104
00:03:08,266 --> 00:03:13,666
INEQUITIES AND IT'S NOT COMING

105
00:03:09,366 --> 00:03:14,000
FROM THE DIFFERENT SOURCE THAT

106
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,833
DID THE HARM WE'RE TRYING TO

107
00:03:13,666 --> 00:03:18,000
REPAIR.

108
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,200
WE ARE NOT FAR FROM NORTHWESTERN

109
00:03:15,833 --> 00:03:21,133
UNIVERSITY IF YOU LOOK AT

110
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,766
HISTORIC PRACTICES WITH RACIAL

111
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,433
SEGREGATION THEY CONTRIBUTED TO

112
00:03:21,133 --> 00:03:24,566
THE HARM.

113
00:03:21,766 --> 00:03:26,666
LOOK AT THE FINANCIAL

114
00:03:23,433 --> 00:03:28,900
INSTITUTIONS THAT PARTICIPATED

115
00:03:24,566 --> 00:03:30,733
IN REDLINING AND RESIDENTIAL

116
00:03:26,666 --> 00:03:32,700
SEGREGATION THEY PARTICIPATED IN

117
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:32,966
THAT HARM AND NOW THEY NEED TO

118
00:03:30,733 --> 00:03:34,733
STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND REPAIR

119
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:35,000
IT.

120
00:03:32,966 --> 00:03:36,633
THERE IS A LOT OF WORK LEFT TO

121
00:03:34,733 --> 00:03:39,033
DO.

122
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,200
>> A BIG QUESTION FOR 30 SECONDS

123
00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:42,700
LEFT OR SO, CLIMATE CHANGE A BIG

124
00:03:39,033 --> 00:03:44,000
ISSUE FOR YOU AS WELL.

125
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,000
HOW CAN A CITY PLAY A ROLE IN

126
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:48,300
ANSWERING A GLOBAL QUESTION?

127
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,466
>> THE THING ABOUT CLIMATE

128
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,033
CHANGE IS NO ONE INSTITUTION

129
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:52,600
WHETHER YOU PERSONALLY OR THE

130
00:03:49,466 --> 00:03:54,966
UNITED NATIONS CAN DO IT ALONE.

131
00:03:51,033 --> 00:03:56,266
WE ALL HAVE TO STEP UP.

132
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,066
AND EVANSTON HAS A STRONG PLAN

133
00:03:54,966 --> 00:03:58,866
THAT MEANS WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK

134
00:03:56,266 --> 00:04:00,766
TO DO WHEN IT COMES TO

135
00:03:58,066 --> 00:04:02,433
TRANSPORTATION AND BUILDING

136
00:03:58,866 --> 00:04:04,233
CODES AND WASTE DISPOSAL AND

137
00:04:00,766 --> 00:04:06,533
MORE TO LIVE UP TO THE

138
00:04:02,433 --> 00:04:07,533
COMMITMENT WE HAVE MADE AND I'M

139
00:04:04,233 --> 00:04:08,366
DEDICATED TO MAKE SURE WE DO

140
00:04:06,533 --> 00:04:10,533
THAT.

141
00:04:07,533 --> 00:04:11,666
>> MAYOR ELECT DANIEL BISS THANK

142
00:04:08,366 --> 00:04:13,633
YOU FOR SPENDING PART OF YOUR

143
00:04:10,533 --> 00:04:15,766
EVENING WITH US.

144
00:04:11,666 --> 00:04:18,066
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
