          [Item 4]
YOU GIVE US OUR COMMUNITY COUNCIL UPDATE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SORRY. 
          HAD TO HANG UP MY OTHER PHONE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, YEAH, COMMUNITY COUNCIL HAD A PRESENTATION ON, IN MAY ABOUT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND COVID RESPONSES. 
          AND WE HAVE, I'M GOING TO PRESENT SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WERE PRESENTED TO US THAT WE STILL NEED TO FRAME AND TO BRING BACK TO THE TABLE TO YOU, AS WE DISCUSS AND FIGURE OUT THE QUESTIONS THAT WE WANT TO ASK AND THE INFORMATION WE WANT TO BRING. 
          SO WE HAD PRESENTATIONS BY SHARON RICKS OF DELL MEDICAL WHO'S ON LOAN TO AUSTIN, PUBLIC HEALTH, ABOUT THE STATE OF THE NURSING HOME IN AUSTIN. 
          DURING THE SHE ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW FAMILIES CAN HELP NURSING HOMES AND TOOK REMIT RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OUR COMMUNITY COUNCIL ON PROVIDING OUTDOOR TIME FOR RESIDENTS IN ALSO INDICATED THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO AUDIT INFECTION CONTROL PBE. 
          AND THAT THE WORKFORCE AT NURSING HOMES IS PROTECTED. 
          WHEN ASKED ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR THE RESIDENTS OR MENTAL HEALTH FOR THEM, SHE SAID THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL ELEMENT TO DISCUSS WITH AUSTIN PUBLIC HEALTH, SHERRY BLYTHE CONTINUUM OF CARE, INTEGRAL HEALTH PROVIDED, UH, SAY THEY PROVIDE NURSING SERVICES THROUGH TELEHEALTH OR BY APPOINTMENT PROVIDING 24 SEVEN SUPPORT TO ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND THIS IS A SERVICE THAT COULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO PEOPLE IN NURSING HOMES. 
          AND SHE WILL BE BRINGING THAT UP. 
          THEY ALSO PROVIDE CELL PHONES TO PEOPLE BY IN THEIR FLIP PHONES SO THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE CONNECT TO THE OUTSIDE, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES PAID BELLA'S OF THE AUSTIN COMMUNITY COURT SAID THEY INDICATE THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH INTEGRAL HEALTH TO FIND STABILITY FOR INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, OR CRIMINAL JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT, MOSTLY THEY'RE LATINO MALES. 
          THEY GO TO FIND, UH, THEY TRY TO FIND A HOME OR A PLACE FOR THEM TO STAY. 
          AT THIS TIME, THEY'RE SCREENING PEOPLE GOING INTO HOTELS, LOWER RISK INDIVIDUALS ARE DISCHARGED IN HIGHER RISK INDIVIDUALS OR HELP FIND A HOTEL. 
          THEY SPONSOR A HOMELESS ADVISORY COUNCIL TO GET LIVED EXPERIENCE, TO IMPROVE THE SERVICES. 
          AND THEY'RE DOING RESEARCH ON PEOPLE BEING RELEASED FROM THE STATE JAIL INTO HOMELESSNESS AND MAKING REP RECOMMENDATIONS ON WAYS TO IMPROVE THOSE SERVICES. 
          LAUREN JOHNSON, FROM THE LC VIEW OF TEXAS, TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY JAILS FOR NOT BEING REQUIRED TO REPORT THE INFORMATION IN THE SAME WAY AS OTHER JAILS. 
          AND WHAT IS BEING REPORTED IS VERY PIECEMEAL. 
          ALL THE FACTORS THAT MAKE SOMEONE HIGH RISK IS CONCENTRATED IN THE JAILS ARE CONCENTRATED IN JAILS, POOR MEDICAL CARE, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, LACK OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION, LACK OF STAFFING AND ALL THAT LEADS TO FEAR. 
          AND THIS INFORMATION ALSO INDIVIDUALS ARE BEING ISOLATED FROM THE LITTLE CONTACT THAT THEY PREVIOUSLY HAD. 
          AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT OF COURSE, TO THEIR MENTAL HEALTH. 
          THEY HAVE 15,000 PEOPLE WHO ARE PAROLE ELIGIBLE AND ARE JUST WAITING ON A REENTRY CLASS TO GET RELEASED. 
          BUT THE CLASS IS GETTING DELAYED. 
          PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM ADDICTION AND ACCESS TO TREATMENT IS HARDER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN. 
          AUSTIN RECOVERY IS CLOSING THEIR DOORS AND THE ODDS OF PEOPLE ACCESSING HELP WITHOUT GETTING ARRESTED IS SLIM. 
          ALSO THE TIME PEOPLE ARE SITTING IN THE JAILS, UM, IN THE COUNTY WAITING FOR THEIR PROGRAM, DOESN'T COUNT TOWARD THEIR TOTAL TIME. 
          DOUG SMITH'S SPEAKING FOR THE TEXAS JUSTICE SYSTEM SAID THERE IS NOWHERE THAT PEOPLE CAN PHASE OUT TO THE NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION BY PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS WAS TO REDUCE THE POPULATIONS BY REMOVING PEOPLE WHO CAN'T PAY BONDS OR WHO HAVE MONITORING FRACTIONS. 
          THERE HASN'T BEEN MUCH ACTION ON THIS. 
          LOCAL OFFICIALS LOWERED JAIL POPULATIONS, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO SPREAD OUT SOME OF THE PRISONS HAVEN'T DONE THAT THEY'RE FOCUSED ON REDUCING THE SPREAD INSIDE OF PRISONS AND ARE DOING MORE WIDESPREAD 
          [00:15:01]
TESTING. 
          THEY'RE ALSO FOCUSED ON WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE FUTURE. 
          THE LOCAL AND STATE BUDGET CRISIS ALLOWS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE WHAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE. 
          WE SHOULD CONSIDER CLOSING TRADITIONAL FACILITIES. 
          SO NOT SENDING PEOPLE TO JAIL WHEN THEY DON'T BELONG THERE ON JUNE THE 15TH, WE'RE GOING TO UPDATE ON VULNERABLE POPULATION STATISTICS. 
          WE HAVE PRESENTATIONS BY GRASSROOTS LEADERSHIP BECAUSE WHEN SOMEBODY FOUND OUT AND POSSIBLY ONE MORE INVITED GUESTS, SO WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU AFTER WE DIE. 
          COMMUNITY COUNCIL HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE. 
          I SENT IT TO YOU HERE AND, UM, BRING THEM TO YOU TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          WE'LL MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT BASICALLY IT'LL BE UP TO THIS GROUP TO LOOK AT THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FOR NORA? THAT WAS A GREAT REPORT, NORA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IMPORTANT STUFF. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          LET'S MOVE

          ALL RIGHT. 
          I HAVE A QUICK POWERPOINT JUST TO KIND OF MAKE THE PRESENTATION GOES SMOOTHER. 
          CAUSE WE HAVE TWO GREAT PRESENTATIONS. 
          I WANT TO GET THROUGH IT AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO HOPEFULLY SCREEN SHARING IS YEAH, LET'S ENABLE SCREEN SHARING AND THEN I'LL GET TO WORK ON THAT. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. 
          AND THANKS FOR KIND OF BEING ON THE CALL AND UM, LET ME START THE SLIDESHOW GUINEA. 
          OKAY.

          I DIDN'T PUT ON THE COVER THERE. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF HEAVY ISSUES, IMPORTANT ISSUES, RIGHT. 
          EVERYONE'S WORKING ON. 
          AND UH, I'M WANNA JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO CAN STAFF AND, UH, I LOVE, UM, WE'RE GOING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ONE OF THE COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN MMM.

          MMM.

          AS YOU KNOW, AGAIN, JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE HEALTH DATA, SOME OF THE TWO, ONE, ONE DATA, AND KIND OF TO, UM, SHARE THAT, UM, IN A WAY THAT LETS US PRAC MMM. 
          WELL, WE ARE NOT JUST IN TERMS OF THE HEALTH STATS, BUT ALSO THE BASIC NEEDS. 
          SO SARAH, A COUPLE OF GRABS, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE THAT DASHBOARD UP. 
          YES. 
          BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF THE DATA IN OUR HANDS ALREADY. 
          UH, THIS IS A CHART YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THAT WE'LL HAVE IN THE DASHBOARD, WHICH IS THE HOSPITALIZATION BY RACE AND ETHNICITY. 
          SO OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN SEE YOU, THERE'S AN ISSUE HERE WITH THE, ON THE GREEN LINE, WHICH IS AT THE VERY TOP, WHICH IS HOSPITALIZATIONS FOR, UM, HISPANICS, YOU KNOW, 70% OF THEM, THE HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE SPANISH. 
          MMM. 
          AND THAT'S WHY YOU PROBABLY HEARD A LOT OF DISCUSSION. 
          RIGHT. 
          YOU KNOW, RECENTLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS ABOUT ADDRESSING THAT IN A MORE TARGETED FOR FOCUS WAY. 
          OKAY.

          SO THANKS TO UNITED WAY. 
          AND REALLY CHILDREN'S OPTIMAL HEALTH IS A GROUP THAT'S, UM, HELPING TO CRUNCH THE DATA TO HELP US SEE WHERE WE ARE. 
          MMM. 
          BUT THIS IS THE TOP FIVE CALL CATEGORIES. 
          SO YOU HAVE AT THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S HOUSING, IT'S FOOD, HEALTH, AND MENTAL HEALTH UTILITIES, INTERNET, PHONE, AND FINANCIAL AND UNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE. 
          UM, SO YOU SEE IT. 
          AND WE, WE STARTED BY REQUESTING THIS DATA, YOU KNOW, UM, FROM UNITED WAY, UH, TWICE A MONTH. 
          UM, AND, UM, SINCE KEN, WAS IT ASKING FOR DATA CHILDREN'S OPTIMAL HEALTH WAS ASKING FOR DATA AND THE TRAVIS COUNTY WAS ASKING FOR 201 DATA. 
          WE ALL KIND OF SAY, WELL, LET'S JUST DO ONE ASK TO NOT BE A PAIN IN THE SIDE OF, UH, FOR UNITED WAY. 
          BUT, UH, CHILDREN'S OPTIMAL HEALTH IS DOING A LOT 
          [00:20:01]
OF THE HEAVY LIFTING, BUT AGAIN, YOU SEE THE IN MARCH JUST TO PEAK IN THE DEMAND FOR BASIC NEEDS, THE ASSISTANCE AND THAT HOUSING HAS REMAINED, YOU KNOW, AT THE TOP THERE. 
          UM, AND SOME OF THE OTHERS, AGAIN, YOU SEE, AS THE, UH, AS THE CRISIS HAS UNFOLDED, SORT OF WHAT, WHAT SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS ARE DOING GOOD, WE'LL ALSO HAVE IN THE DASHBOARD IS FOR EACH OF THESE CATEGORIES IS WE'LL ALSO HAVE, UM, WHAT ARE THE TOP FIVE CALL TYPES WITHIN EACH CATEGORY, RIGHT. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE, BUT UNDER HOUSING, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST ONE, THREE REALLY HAVE TO DO WITH RENTAL RENTAL ASSISTANCE, RIGHT. 
          HOUSING, UM, MMM. 
          UNDER FOOD, YOU KNOW, THE TOP TWO ARE FOOD PANTRIES AND KIND OF HELP WITH FOOD AND SNAP APPLICATIONS. 
          MMM.

          AND THEN UNDER HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH, YOU SEE THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND CONTROL OF CODED, UM, OR THE HIGHEST THERE. 
          HI, AND UNDER UTILITIES AND INTERNET, YOU SEE OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT, YOU TYPICAL ELECTRIC AND KIND OF WATER AND GAS SERVICES, OR IT'S WHAT PEOPLE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THOSE BILL PAYMENTS. 
          AND FINALLY UNDER FINANCE AND UNEMPLOYMENT, YOU SEE, YOU KNOW, AND DESIGNATED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, RIGHT. 
          PEOPLE ARE IN ECONOMIC DISTRESS, SO THEY JUST NEED HELP. 
          UH, BUT SOME FUNDINGS FOR ALL THERE, THEIR FAMILY NEEDS. 
          AND THEN THE SECOND HIGHEST IS FOLKS LOOKING TO APPLY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE. 
          AND, AND I KNOW IT'S, YOU KNOW, SORRY, WE CAN'T GO INTO A DEEP DEPTH. 
          I HAVE THE TWO, ONE, ONE DATA, BUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING OF INTEREST IN THE FUTURE, RIGHT, WE CAN BRING MAYBE CHILDREN'S OPTIMAL HEALTH. 
          UM, WHO'S MORE INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN, UH, IN THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION OF THE DATA AND UNITED WAY, OF COURSE, WHO OWNS THE DATA, BUT, UH, BUT WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT ARE SOME OF THE INFORMATION WE WILL HAVE ON THAT DASHBOARD ONCE IT, ONCE IT'S UP AND RUNNING. 
          AND THAT SHOULD BE VERY SOON. 
          UH, SO THE SECOND ONE IS TO GET HELP. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, THIS IS REALLY TRYING TO BOIL DOWN, HOW CAN YOU GET HELP, UM, ARISING WITH NEEDS, ARISING FROM COVID-19, BUT REALLY TRYING TO FOCUS IN ON THE LANGUAGE. 
          SO GETTING IT RIGHT TO A PLACE WHERE IT'S VERY EASY TO NAVIGATE, UM, CAUSE THERE IS IN SOME OF THESE LANGUAGES, A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT IT'S LIKE 50 PAGES WORTH OF INFORMATION. 
          SO, UM, SO PART OF OUR APPROACH WITH THE LANGUAGE ACCESS PIECE OF THIS, UH, UH, EFFORT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NAVIGATION IS A LOT CLEARER. 
          UM, AND WHAT THIS IS SHOWING YOU IS SORT OF WHAT SORT OF THE PHASING OF, OF THE WEBSITE OF STUART'S MMM. 
          THE LANGUAGES WITH THE ASTERISKS ARE THE ONES WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO LAUNCH BECAUSE THERE'S ENOUGH INFORMATION ALREADY AVAILABLE, TRANSLATED TO LAUNCH, UH, THE ONES IN THE ORANGE COLOR, UM, ARE THE ONES THAT ARE BE, ARE PHASE TWO. 
          SO WE'LL WANT TO TRANSLATE A LOT OF INFORMATION INTO THOSE LANGUAGES. 
          AND THOSE ARE MORE THE REFUGEE COMMUNITIES, WHICH ARE LIKE MORE ISOLATED AND HAVE LESS, UH, IN TERMS OF CIVIC AND SOCIAL ASSOCIATIONS AND SUPPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND IF YES, IN AN IDEAL WORLD, WE CAN DO ALL OF THEM. 
          OBVIOUSLY WE'D BRING IN PHASE THREE, WHICH IS A, SO THOSE LANGUAGES HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, UH, IT'S THE GET ENGAGED SORT OF COLUMN THERE IS KIND OF GETTING ENGAGED ON COMMUNITY NEEDS, ARISING FROM COVID-19. 
          SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF, WHERE CAN YOU DONATE TO SUPPORT RELIEF EFFORTS? WHERE CAN I VOLUNTEER? YOU KNOW, WHERE CAN I DIALOGUE ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE POTENT AND ON THAT, ON THAT END? WELL, WE'VE JUST IN THE LAST MONTH LAUNCHED OUR CLIENT, OUR CAN PODCASTS, WHICH IS MMM, JUST A FIVE TO SIX MINUTES. 
          UM, AUDIO PODCASTS FOR THAT'S A COMMUNITY CALENDAR, RIGHT. 
          OF ADVANCES THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE NEXT WEEK. 
          MMM. 
          AND IT WAS A, UM, A WAY OF HIGHLIGHTING SORT OF THE COVERT RESPONSE, BUT ALSO NOW WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM AND RACE EQUITY, UM, FOCUS AND, AND OTHER, OTHER THINGS RELATED TO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. 
          AND IN TERMS OF THE COMMUNITY ADVANCEMENT ADVOCATES, THAT'S MORE WHERE WE'RE RECRUITING FOLKS TO HELP WITH OUTREACH ON CENSUS AND ON VOTING, YOU KNOW, TO ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          AND TRYING TO IDENTIFY FOLKS WHO CAN DO SOME OUTREACH IN MMM. 
          VIRTUALLY RIGHT ON THE ONLINE RESOURCES. 
          AND THOSE ARE TWO, TWO THINGS THAT WILL BE UNDER OUR GET ENGAGED TAB, RIGHT. 
          IS, YOU KNOW, WAYS TO GET INFORMED AND GET PLUGGED IN ON ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. 
          AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT I'LL HIGHLIGHT IS WE'RE WORKING WITH, UM, THE CITY WHO'S GETTING READY TO LAUNCH. 
          I THINK A GIFT POSTS SITE, 
          [00:25:01]
UM, ON MONDAY I BELIEVE. 
          UM, AND THIS IS A SITE WHERE, UM, AND I BELIEVE YOU, THEY'VE ALSO REACHED OUT TO UT WHO HAS A PRETTY BIG PRESENCE ON GIFT POSTS, BUT GIVE POST IS BASICALLY A PLATFORM WHERE ORGANIZATIONS WHO NEED VOLUNTEERS OR NEED DONATIONS CAN GO AND REGISTER WHAT THEY NEED. 
          AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN GO REGISTER THAT THEY WANT TO HELP WITH CERTAIN KINDS OF ACTIVITIES AND THEN GIVE POSTS, WE'LL CONNECT THE TWO. 
          MMM. 
          SO THAT WASN'T ORIGINALLY THE IDEA BEHIND OUR WEBSITE, BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE, UM, LET'S HAVING A VERY BIG LISTING OF WAYS TO HELP, UH, WAS USEFUL IF IT WAS ALREADY GONNA LIVE ON THIS SIDE. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE WE KIND OF SHIFT TWO PARTNER WITH THE CITY AND UT TO MAKE THIS A SITE AS ROBUST AS WE CAN, AND TO DIRECT PEOPLE TO A SITE WHERE I ONLY, YOU KNOW, CAN WE, YOU KNOW, GET MORE PEOPLE ENGAGED, BUT WE CAN ACTUALLY TRACK RIGHT. 
          HOW MANY NONPROFITS ARE INVOLVED AND HOW MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE INVOLVED ON THE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT SITES. 
          SO HOW'S THAT THERE? AND JUST TAKE QUESTIONS IF THERE'S ANY, NO, GOT QUESTIONS. 
          TAKE SOME CHICKEN. 
          YEAH. 
          I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION SO MUCH AS I JUST THINK THIS IS WORTH SHARING WITH THIS GROUP. 
          UM, AND THE THANK YOU ROLL. 
          CAUSE I THINK THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD EXPLANATION AND USE OF THOSE CHARTS. 
          BUT SINCE THOSE CHARTS ENDED, WHICH WAS MID MAY, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY IT'S ACTUALLY LEVELED OFF. 
          SO CALLS HAVE REMAINED TWO, ONE, ONE AT ABOUT DOUBLE THEIR PACE FOR AWHILE. 
          THEY WERE ABOUT FOUR TIMES THEIR, THEIR REGULAR FOR VOLUME. 
          AND NOW THEY'VE LEVELED OFF AT ABOUT TWO TIMES THEIR PLAN. 
          SO JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS, WE'RE SAYING SINCE THE LAST THING WE HAD WAS THAT DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY. 
          IT DIDN'T CONTINUE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO CHEEKY PICK BECAUSE ALL YOUR HAND, THANK YOU. 
          I WAS LOOKING FOR THE RAISE HAND. 
          I WAS TRYING TO, I WAS TRYING TO BE LEGIT. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT I NEVER DID IT. 
          YOU GOT TO DO THINGS LIKE A WHITE DUDE. 
          RIGHT. 
          LIKE THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. 
          YOU JUST SPEAK UP. 
          WELL, THANK YOU, BRO. 
          THIS IS REALLY GOING TO HELP. 
          COOL. 
          AND, UM, YEAH, JUST TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE DATA ON TWO, ONE, ONE, UM, UH, IT WOULD BE GREAT ALSO TO GET RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, JUST IN GENERAL OF WHERE, UH, WHERE WE CAN SUPPORT WITH ACTUALLY MORE HUMANS OR CAPACITY, UM, UH, ON SOME OF THOSE ISSUES, UM, UH, AROUND THE TWO, ONE, ONE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE TOPICS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP, UM, I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE USING GIFT PAUL SPOKE CAUSE WE DO USE IT. 
          AND I THINK THAT YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT. 
          THE, THE ADVANTAGE OF USING IT IS TO BE ABLE TO TRACK SOME OF THESE DATA AND, UM, ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, UM, AS FAR AS PERHAPS WHAT WE NEED IN TERMS OF GRANT FUNDING BASED ON SORT OF THE NUMBERS THAT WE, THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TRACK AND, AND THE NEEDS, UH, IN TERMS OF PEOPLE, HOURS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TRACK. 
          UM, AND I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE CENSUS TRAINING, UM, SINCE ALL OF THAT IS VIRTUAL, DOES IT, I ASSUME THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE TRAINING OR ARE PART OF THAT TRAINING ARE IN AUSTIN OR TRAVIS COUNTY, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S UNIVERSALLY. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SENDING TO STUDENTS ALL OVER THE STATE BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO DO SO GREAT TOUCHY DAVID EVANS, YOU KNOW, SO I WANTED TO MENTION ALSO AT INTEGRAL CARE, WE'VE SECURED A FEMA GRANT. 
          THAT'S GOING TO BE TIME LIMITED, PROBABLY GOING INTO THE FALL TO PROVIDE A CRISIS COUNSELING PROGRAM. 
          THIS BUILDS OFF OUR CURRENT HOTLINE, FIVE ONE, TWO, UH, FOUR SEVEN, TWO HELP. 
          AND SO WITH THAT, UH, UH, INCREASED CAPACITY IN A CALL CENTER, WE'RE SEEING ONLINE, UH, COUNSELING, UM, UH, CALLS AND ENCOUNTERS RAMP, UH, RAMPING UP. 
          SO WHEN I MENTIONED THIS IS ANOTHER SUPPLEMENTARY, UH, OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THE COUNTY, WE'VE BEEN TRYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUTREACH TO WIDELY PUBLICIZE THIS NUMBER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANKS DAVID. 
          OTHER QUESTIONS AND CTL I'LL SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT, BECAUSE JUST IN THE DATA PIECE OF THIS PRESENTATION IS PROBABLY E THREE SUB GROUPS THAT ARE MEETING THERE'S THE TWO, ONE, ONE SEVEN LOOP AND A THREE, ONE, ONE SUBGROUP. 
          AND THEN THERE'S A REALLY LARGE GROUP THAT MISSION CAPITALIST FACILITATING, THAT'S 
          [00:30:01]
LOOKING MORE ISSUE BASED. 
          UM, SO I'LL TRY IT AGAIN. 
          YEAH.

          YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          I THINK THERE ARE DEFINITELY, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, THE SMALLER, THE TASKS, THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE WHO, UH, WE CAN RECRUIT TO TAKE LITTLE PIECES OF THE TASK. 
          UM, I AM LOOKING PARTICULARLY AT THOSE TWO, ONE, ONE CALLS ABOUT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR GUIDANCE, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          GREAT. 
          OTHER OTHER QUESTIONS NOT SEEING ANY, IS THAT THE END OF YOUR REPORT ROLL? DO YOU HAVE MORE? YEAH. 
          AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, JUST TO SWITCH HIS FINAL KIND OF, I DON'T THINK THERE ARE THAT MANY PEOPLE FOCUSED ON THAT. 
          SO, UM, I THINK THAT IS AN AREA WHERE WE CAN WORK MAYBE WITH THE FINANCIAL LITERACY COALITION WHO IS DOING SOME WORK AROUND THAT THAT'S COVID RELATED. 
          UM, AND MAYBE THERE'S A CHANCE TO PLUG IN WITH THEM, SO I'LL MAKE THAT CONNECTION. 
          YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO I, I DO WANT TO APOLOGIZE A LITTLE BIT. 
          I HAVE BEEN DISTRACTED THIS WEEK, AND SO I HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH RACHEL ABOUT EVERY DETAIL THAT'S ON TODAY'S AGENDA.

          OF FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE ALSO, UH, RAMPING UP EFFORTS TO ADDRESS MMM. 
          YOU KNOW, THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19, BUT MORE THAN A GRASSROOTS OR COMMUNITY BASED, UM, WAY. 
          AND MMM. 
          THIS GROUP HAS, YOU KNOW, IS ONE OF THE GROUPS THAT I'M JUST AMAZED AT THE KIND OF IMPACT THEY'VE HAD IN JUST THE LAST THREE MONTHS, SINCE THEY'VE FORMED TOO, TRY TO FIND OUT HOW THEY CAN, UM, UM, HELP FAMILIES, YOU KNOW, ADDRESS ISSUES AND NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, AND WHAT'S IMPRESSED ME, UM, ABOUT THE WORK IS THAT IT'S MULTIRACIAL, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A VERY BROAD, UH, AGE, AGE GROUPS, RIGHT. 
          INVOLVED AND ENGAGED. 
          UM, AND YOU HAVE, MMM. 
          LIKE I SAID, RACE DIVERSITY, BUT ALSO LGBT PARTICIPATION. 
          UM, SO I'M JUST BEEN REALLY IMPRESSED THAT WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          AND THEN ALSO JUST THE PROCESS THAT THEY USE TO GO ABOUT ADDRESSING ISSUES, WHICH IS VERY INCLUSIVE. 
          AND I THINK VERY, UM, INTENTIONAL. 
          AND I THOUGHT THAT, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR MORE THAN THREE MONTHS, BUT BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH HAS HAPPENED AND HOW MUCH THEY'VE DONE, I WANT IT TO HAVE THEM. 
          I HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND WHY THEY ARE APPROACHING IT IN THE WAY, UM, THAT THEY ARE. 
          SO, AND WE HAVE, I KNOW OF FROM OUR, ONE OF OUR PARTNERS, UT  MMM WHO'S ONE OF THE CODES, FOUNDERS ARE FACILITATORS.

          IT'S JUST A, AND SO IT'S DIVERSITY OF EXPERTISE IN THE GROUP AND A DIVERSITY OF, UM, EXPERIENCES. 
          AND I THINK IT'S REALLY ENRICHED THE WORK AND THE DIALOGUE. 
          SO I WANTED TO HAND IT OVER TO THEM SO THEY CAN SHARE ABOUT, UM, THE PURPOSE AND WORK OF THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE TRUST. 
          THANK YOU.

          UM, I, WE PARTNER WITH HOUSTON TILLOTSON UNIVERSITY ON THAT FESTIVAL. 
          MMM. 
          AND SO, SO, UH, AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, UM, I THINK I MENTIONED MY, UH, PROFESSIONAL LIFE. 
          I'M ALSO WITH MEASURE, UM, AND ONE OF THE CO FOUNDERS OF, OF CRT.

          UM, BUT ANYWAY, AND THEN, UM, DONE A LOT OF TRANSFORMATIONAL WORK. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF A LOT OF THE LENSES I BRING TO THE CONVERSATION. 
          UM, BUT VERY DEFINITELY HAVE COMMUNITY. 
          THEY DID MY LIFE TO PUTTING EQUITY AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT BELONGS. 
          UM, AND JERRICA, DO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF? HI, MY NAME IS DR. 
          JAGER THOMAS HOCKADAY. 
          UM, I AM, I CAME, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER, BUT I CAME BACK IN DECEMBER TO TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT, UM, MY, UM, SCHOOL THAT I WAS OPENING IN SOUTH AUSTIN, CENTRAL TEXAS ALLIED HEALTH INSTITUTE. 
          UM, WE ARE NOW OPEN. 
          WE'VE BEEN OPEN SINCE FEBRUARY, BUT THE COVID NOT THIS BACK A LITTLE BIT ON STUDENT ENROLLMENT, BUT WE'RE HOPING, WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE OUR FIRST CLASS FIRST OFFICIAL CLASS STARTED IN JULY. 
          UM, I JOINED THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE STRESS, UM, AS ONE OF THE, UM, SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS FOR HEALTHCARE, THEY WERE LOOKING FOR SOME SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND ANOTHER PERSON IN THE GROUP RECOMMENDED ME. 
          AND I'VE JUST ENJOYED BEING WITH THEM. 
          OH, I'M NOT ALWAYS WANTING TO DUCK TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE, BUT I THINK THEY PUSHED ME TO THE FRONT OF THEM WHEN I, WHEN I GOT INTO THE ORGANIZATION AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE A PART OF IT. 
          AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, JANICE, DO YOU WANT TO, I WILL, I WILL SHARE MY SCREEN. 
          I'M GOING TO SHARE MY WHOLE DESKTOP HERE AND SEE IF I CAN GET THE FULL SLIDES GOING. 
          IF IT DOESN'T WORK, LET ME KNOW. 
          AND I'LL DO THE OTHER WAY. 
          I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES IT SPLITS YOU ABOUT THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          CAN YOU SEE THE FULL SLIDES? YES. 
          GREAT. 
          SO, UM, LET'S GO BACK TO MARCH 13TH AND, UH, EVERYTHING GOT SHUT DOWN SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST. 
          GOT SHUT DOWN. 
          AND, UH, WE, UM, HI TO CONTEND WITH THE PRESIDENT MAKING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND, UH, THE CITY FIGURING OUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO IN THAT PROCESS? UM, WE WERE JUST SITTING BACK KIND OF IN SHOCK. 
          AND THE NEXT DAY JANICE CALLED ME IN THE MORNING, SAY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? BACKSTORY? WE HAD ALREADY HAD A BOARD MEETING SAYING THAT WE HAVE THE CANCER EARTH DAY, SO THAT WASN'T A FUN DISCUSSION TO HAVE AND LET EVERYONE, WE BROKE A LOT OF PEOPLE'S HEARTS, BUT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. 
          SHE CALLS ME THE NEXT DAY ON THE 14TH AND SAYS, WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING. 
          IT'S LIKE, OH, WE CANCELED EARTH DAY. 
          IT'S LIKE, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. 
          LIKE WE GOTTA MOBILIZE. 
          WE GOTTA ACTUALLY GET THINGS IN PLACE BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN NEED. 
          IT'S LIKE, YEAH, LIKE I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY LET'S DO THAT. 
          SO I'LL STOP THERE. 
          JUST SO YOU HAVE THAT CONTEXT AND I'LL GET, I'LL BUILD IN THIS ON A SECOND. 
          I WANT TO REWIND BACK TO HOW WE GOT HERE. 
          UM, 10 YEARS AGO, I STARTED SEEING THIS IDEA THAT AUSTIN WAS EVOLVING BEYOND THE LIVE EASE AND CAPITAL OF THE WORLD TO BECOMING THE SOCIAL INNOVATION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD AND ITS IDEAS SPREAD. 
          AND EVEN THE MAYOR CAUGHT ON AND WE GOT ELECTED. 
          HE SAID, I BELIEVE IN A DAY WHERE AUSTIN COULD BE THE SOCIAL INNOVATION CAPITAL WORLD. 
          SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD FEELING THAT THIS IDEA SPREAD THAT THE ISSUE WAS THAT IT WAS HARD TO TALK ABOUT VERY AMORPHOUS IDEAS OF SOCIAL INNOVATION AND IMPACT WHEN AUSTIN ALWAYS CARES ABOUT AUSTIN. 
          AND WE TALK ABOUT GLOBAL ISSUES, WE DON'T HAVE THAT UNIQUE LENS OF TALKING ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ISSUES. 
          AND SO AT THE CENTER OF IT, THOUGH, WHAT WAS MISSING FROM THAT CONVERSATION WAS A LENS ON, ON RACE AND EQUITY. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HELPED CHAMPION AND PROMOTE WITH THE UNITED NATIONS, UM, LIKE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, 
          [00:40:01]
THERE WAS ALWAYS A CONVERSATION OF LIKE, BUT WHERE'S RACE IN THERE. 
          IT WAS MISSING. 
          AND SO WHEN I STARTED HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH JANICE AND BUILDING THIS RELATIONSHIP, I SAID, WE NEED TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION. 
          SHE WAS WILLING TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITH ME. 
          SO I SAT UP IN A SEMINAR, UM, WITH JANICE WAS IN ATTENDANCE WITH ABOUT OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE. 
          AND THAT'S IT. 
          I SEE A NEW VISION FOR AUSTIN THAT WE CAN BECOME THE MOST EQUITABLE CITY IN THE COUNTRY THAT WE CAN LEAVE FROM EQUITY FROM THE CENTER, AND THEN BUILD THAT OUT. 
          AND JANICE LISTENED AND SHE CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY OR THE COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. 
          IT'S LIKE, I WANT TO DO THIS WITH YOU. 
          SO HERE WE ARE. 
          AND WE ASK OURSELVES, HOW MIGHT WE MAKE AUSTIN? ONE OF THE MOST EQUITABLE CITIES IN THE COUNTRY? AND THEN LET'S USE THIS IMPETUS OR THIS, THIS OPPORTUNITY OF COVID TO REALLY START DIGGING BACK AND UNDERSTANDING WHY THE SYSTEMS ARE BUILT THE WAY THEY ARE AND START BUILDING, BEING ABLE TO BUILD A RESILIENCY FROM THE GROUND UP. 
          SO WHEN THE LARGER SYSTEMS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US AND SAVE US ARE FAILING, WE FROM THE GROUND UP, ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT NETWORK. 
          SO THAT IS KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED. 
          AND I'M SO GLAD THAT I GET TO PRESENT WITH YOU AND JANICE HERE TODAY, BECAUSE I SEE A LOT OF MY FRIENDS HERE. 
          UM, YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE. 
          UM, AND I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU, WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. 
          SO JANICE. 
          YEAH, WELL, SO IT'S JUST, IT'S, THERE'S MY, THERE'S SORT OF HOW IT CAME TO BE ON FROM MY VIEW, UM, WHICH WAS, YOU KNOW, HAVING WORKED EARTH DAY, IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME WALKING BACK A FEW YEARS, IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCENE WAS VERY WHITE AND THAT EQUITY WAS NOT AT THE CENTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISM IN AUSTIN. 
          AND I ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH A LOT OF TRAINING AND DID THE UNDOING RACISM TRAINING PROGRAM. 
          BUT I DID A LOT OF OTHER THINGS AS WELL, SAT IN THE BACK OF ROOMS LISTENED, KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT. 
          JUST LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN, GOT INTO THE CONVERSATION. 
          AND REALLY AT A POINT HAD AN EPIPHANY ABOUT MY OWN, UH, THE INAUTHENTICITY OF MY OWN WHITE LIBERALISM AND ACTUALLY WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT CALLED AUSTIN IS CHARLOTTESVILLE. 
          UM, IN 2017, THAT REALLY POINTED THE FINGER AT MYSELF FIRST AS A WAY FOR OTHERS TO SEE THE SAME IN THEMSELVES ABOUT HOW, UH, WE AS LIBERALS TEND TO PUSH THE BUCK TO SOME, YOU KNOW, POINT THE FINGER SOMEWHERE ELSE. 
          AND THAT WE DON'T DEAL WITH ACTIVELY DISRUPTING THE WAYS IN WHICH SYSTEMIC RACISM OCCURS ON THE COURT IN REALITY, IN THOSE MOMENTS OF INTEGRITY AND IN THE MINUTIA. 
          AND THAT'S CAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT'S HAPPENING. 
          SO, MMM. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF THE FRAMEWORK WITH WHICH, AND OF COURSE, RUBEN AND I HAD BUILT THIS RELATIONSHIP AND HE HELPED ME WRITE THAT PIECE. 
          SO, UM, AND WHOLE OTHER THINGS AFTER THAT. 
          SO IT WAS NATURAL FOR ME TO CALL HIM. 
          AND, UM, WE'VE BEEN SORT OF HE'S IN A POT ABOUT THIS EVER SINCE. 
          UM, SO WHAT WE'RE REALLY OUT TO ACCOMPLISH WITH COMMUNITY RESILIENCE TRUST IS TWOFOLD. 
          IN THE SHORT TERM, WE WANT TO PROVIDE A COMMUNITY DRIVEN, HOLISTIC, STRATEGIC AND SYSTEMIC RESPONSE TO THIS PANDEMIC. 
          UM, AND IN THE PROCESS DEVELOP OUR RESILIENCE AS A COMMUNITY IN THE LONGTERM. 
          UM, MY EXPERIENCE WITH DISASTER RECOVERY, UM, AND I'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN CLIMATE CHANGE AS WELL. 
          AND IN LOOKING FROM THE LENS OF KIND OF THE SORT OF DISPARATE OUTCOMES AND THE WAY PEOPLE WORK IN SILOS DURING DISASTERS, I NOTICED SOMETHING IN THAT INSTITUTIONS DURING DISASTERS FAIL THEY'RE TOO BOGGED DOWN NINE 11 DURING HARVEY FAILED. 
          AND THERE WAS A GROUP CALLED CROWDSOURCE RESCUE WHO IMMEDIATELY ROSE TO THE SURFACE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 
          AND SO THIS DYNAMIC FOR A TRULY RESILIENT COMMUNITY TOO EXISTS, THERE HAS TO BE THIS FUNCTIONAL DYNAMIC BETWEEN INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITIES WORKING TOGETHER, UM, BACK AND FORTH AND IN A SPIRIT OF PARTNERSHIP, BUT COMMUNITY DRIVEN. 
          SO I JUST KIND OF WANT TO POINT TO SOME OF THE PERSPECTIVES INCLUDED ON THE CALL. 
          SO WE VARY THAT THAT WAS REALLY THE CENTRAL TO OUR INTENT. 
          SO EVERY, WE STARTED WITH EIGHT PEOPLE ON THE CALL AND, AND VERY QUICKLY GREW TO, I THINK WE REGULARLY HAVE 30 TO 40 50, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES 50 PEOPLE ON OUR CALLS IN THE MORNING. 
          IT INCLUDES, UM, PEOPLE FROM MANY, MANY DIFFERENT SECTORS, BLACK, LATINO, LGBTQ IAA, ASIAN, WE DON'T CURRENTLY YET, UM, HAVE MUCH REPRESENTATION IN THE CATEGORY OF, UM, OF, UH, UM, INDIGENOUS THANK YOU. 
          OR, OR FOR EXAMPLE, ASL OR THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY IS NOT FULLY REPRESENTED YET. 
          AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. 
          UM, UNIVERSITIES, MARKETING, TRANSPORTATION, THE ENVIRONMENT, MEDICAL, SMALL BUSINESS, UH, ADVOCACY. 
          THERE'S THIS INTERESTING DYNAMIC THAT WE'VE CREATED BETWEEN 
          [00:45:01]
ADVOCACY AND DIRECT CARE, UM, WHERE I WASN'T REALLY AWARE OF THAT UNTIL THIS, UNTIL WE STARTED THIS, HOW MUCH THEY'RE SORT OF TWO VEINS OF WORK THERE'S DIRECT CARE, WHICH IS SERVING PEOPLE IN NEED, YOU KNOW, AND TAKING CARE OF THEIR IMMEDIATE NEEDS. 
          AND THEN THERE'S ADVOCACY, WHICH SORT OF TRIES TO WORK UPSTREAM TO COUNTERACT THE SOURCE OF THE INEQUITY. 
          AND, UM, THOSE GROUPS DON'T ALWAYS WORK TOGETHER AND THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS, ON THESE CALLS. 
          UM, AND SO THAT'S AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC MMM. 
          WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN ACTION. 
          SO MOST OF THE WORK THAT WE DO FALLS IN THESE BUCKETS, UM, AND I WANT, I'M GOING TO PAUSE HERE TO, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE SOME REFLECTION I'M IN A MINUTE, BUT WE HAVE DAILY MEETINGS. 
          WE'VE BEEN MEETING LITERALLY MEETING DAILY, UH, UM, SINCE MARCH 14TH FOR AN HOUR, A DAY, STARTING AT 9:00 PM EVERY WEEK DAY. 
          AND WE REGULARLY HAVE 30 PEOPLE ON THE CALL WORKING TOGETHER, WHICH HAS BEEN JUST EXTRAORDINARY. 
          UM, WE HAVE, FROM THAT WE WILL OFTEN HAVE SPINOFF PROJECTS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE AMPLIFY WHAT GROUPS LIKE THERE'S PLENTY OF GROUPS. 
          WHO'VE COME TO THE CALL THAT HAVE SOMETHING IN THIS SPACE THAT THEY WANT AMPLIFIED. 
          AND WE DO THAT THROUGH OUR COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES, BUT ALSO SOMETIMES THERE'LL BE AN INTEREST FROM LIKE EIGHT, EIGHT TO 10 PEOPLE ON ANY GIVEN CALL. 
          WE START TALKING ABOUT A SUBJECT MATTER, THAT'S COME UP. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE UPDATES IN THE FIRST HALF HOUR AND OUT OF THOSE UPDATES AND ISSUE WILL ARISE THAT WE NEED TO DEAL WITH AS A COMMUNITY. 
          AND A SPINOFF PROJECT WILL DEVELOP OUT OF THAT. 
          UM, AND THE WAY THOSE UPDATES HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THE TOPICS ARE SENSITIVE. 
          THE FORMAT WE USE IS THAT WE HAVE THE MEMBERS OF OUR MO OUR GLOBAL MAJORITY GO FIRST, MOST OF THE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TOPIC IS SENSITIVE. 
          SO WE REALLY MAKE SPACE SO THAT WE, YOU KNOW, AND, AND SORT OF MANAGE THE FACT THAT, UM, WHITE VOICES TEND TO INTERRUPT A LOT. 
          WE TEND TO HAVE A LOT OF SOLUTIONS THAT CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO A COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT AND MULTI-RACIAL COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT. 
          SO WE MANAGE THAT. 
          WE DO IT VERY TRANSPARENTLY AND, AND TRY TO DO IT VERY GENTLY SO THAT EVERYBODY FEELS INCLUDED IN THAT PROCESS. 
          UM, WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE A DESIGN TEAM, SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UH, A SORT OF A RESEARCH BRANCH THAT DOES THE AGGREGATES RESEARCH ON TOPICS. 
          AND WE ALSO HAVE A TRUE, UM, SYSTEMIC DESIGN TEAM, ALSO WORKING. 
          UM, WE HAVE A WEBSITE IT'S ACTUALLY THE MOST VIEWED SPANISH SPEAKING WEBSITE FOR COVID. 
          UM, WE DEVELOPED IT SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT NOT ALL COMMUNITIES TRUST THE CITY WEBSITE, WE DID THIS LARGELY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY ON THE INFORMATION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S ACCURATE, BUT WE WANTED A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COULD GO TO GET INFORMATION IF THEY WERE NOT GOING TO GO TO THE CITY. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'VE DONE SEVERAL INFOGRAPHICS TO CONSOLIDATE MMM, TARGETED, SPECIFIC, RELEVANT INFORMATION ON. 
          SO FOR THE STAY HOME ORDER, FOR EXAMPLE, HOW DO YOU TRANSLATE THAT INTO SOMETHING THAT AN INDIVIDUAL FROM ANY SORT OF ANY FRAMEWORK OR ANY BACKGROUND WOULD BE ABLE TO TRANSLATE THAT INTO ACTIONS FOR THEM? ONE OF MY FAVORITES ON THAT WAS WHAT TO DO, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHEN YOU GO OUT OF THE HOUSE AND COME BACK TO THE HOUSE, WE HAVE PROTOCOLS FOR THAT, THAT WE'VE DISTRIBUTED AND THEN STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP. 
          UM, AND THIS IS REALLY PROBABLY MY FAVORITE IS THAT ON THE CALL, SOMETIMES SOMEONE IS WORKING IN THEIR DOMAIN AND THEY HAVE A PARTICULAR ISSUE AND THEY REALLY NEED TO HAVE SOME STRATEGIC GROUP THING AND GROUP DO. 
          AND SO WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A, UM, UH, SO, UH, AUSTIN AREA, URBAN LEAGUE, AND CENTRAL TEXAS ALLIED HEALTH. 
          AND I'LL LET JERICHO TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE MORE IN A SECOND. 
          UM, THEY WORKED TOGETHER TO SUBMIT A GRANT FOR MOBILE CLINICS, UM, UH, WHICH, WHICH WAS VERY CLEARLY WHAT WAS NEEDED GIVEN THE LOCATION OF COVID TESTING IS ALMOST ENTIRELY ON THE WEST SIDE OF AUSTIN CURRENTLY. 
          UM, AND SO A WHOLE GROUP OF US, LIKE SOME OF US GOT TOGETHER AND PUT DATA TOGETHER. 
          SOME OF US GOT TOGETHER AND COMPOSED A LETTER OF SUPPORT WITHIN A FEW DAYS. 
          WE HAD, I THINK, 30 DIFFERENT, UH, UH, PROFESSIONALS AND ORGANIZATIONS SIGNING ON TO SUPPORT THIS GRANT. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY WE MOVE AS A GROUP AND THE BUCKETS OF ACTION. 
          UM, EITHER OF Y'ALL WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S JUST, IT'S NEVER A, SO, AND I HAVE AN ARTICLE COMING OUT ABOUT EQUITY AND HOPEFULLY I CAN SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL, BUT IT'S NEVER ABOUT WHAT I CAN GET. 
          IT'S ABOUT WHAT I CAN DO TO START SUPPORTING THE LARGER COLLECTIVE IN THE LARGER AGENDA AND IN, THROUGH THAT I'M FED BACK. 
          AND SO WHEN I'M IN NEED THE REST OF THE COMMUNITIES THERE TO CATCH US, AND SO THAT'S THE MODEL WE'RE DOING IT, BUT IT HAS TO FIRST DO WE HAVE TO FIRST REALLY BUILD REAL RELATIONSHIPS AND REAL TRUST, REAL, AUTHENTIC, AND INTEGRAL INTEGRAL TRUST WITHOUT THAT THE WHOLE THING DOESN'T WORK. 
          AND SO I THINK WHAT'S HELPED MAKE THAT HAPPEN 
          [00:50:01]
IS THE FREQUENCY I TEACH MY STUDENTS A LOT ABOUT TRUST IS OPEN COMMUNICATION, CONGRUENCY OF THAT COMMUNICATION WITH ACTION AND THE CONSISTENCY. 
          AND I THINK ARE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 9:00 AM CALLS ARE REALLY THE SECRET THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO KIND OF STAY ENGAGED AND STAY IN THE GAME. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF OUR SECRET SAUCES. 
          YEAH. 
          JARED, COULD YOU WANT TO COMMENT? I THINK WHAT I CAN SAY IS THE BEST THING THAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS ORGANIZATION, CAUSE I'M VERY ACTION ORIENTED. 
          I SPENT A LIFETIME IN THE OPERATING ROOM, SO WE ALL DO EVERYTHING ON A VERY SPECIFIC AND INTENTIONAL BASIS. 
          I LIKED THE INTENTIONALITY OF GROUP, BUT THE THING THAT I LIKED THE BEST IS THAT THEY WILL TAKE THE SMALLEST ORGANIZATION IN THE GROUP. 
          AND AS I SAID, PUSH, JUST PUSH THEM FORWARD AND PUT THEM OUT IN THE SPOTLIGHT. 
          IF ASKED SPECIFICALLY, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL? WHAT CAN WE, AS AN ORGANIZATION HELP YOU, UM, GET YOURSELF TO THE NEXT LEVEL, CONTRIBUTE TO THE, UM, TO THE COVERT PANDEMIC OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THE SPECIFIC ASK IS FOR AND GIVE SPACE TO THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE OFTEN PASSED OVER FOR LACK OF CAPACITY OR LACK OF LACK OF MARKETING SKILLS, BUT MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR DECADES DOING DIRECT WORK ON THE GROUND. 
          SO I KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER FOR US AT THE SCHOOL AND HELPING AMPLIFY WHAT WE'RE DOING AND PROVIDING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT USES MY UNIQUE SET OF SKILLS AS BOTH A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN IN TOWN TO GIVE BACK TO MY COMMUNITY WITH THE MOBILE CLINIC INITIATIVE. 
          YEAH. 
          I WILL SAY TO JERICHO THAT LIKE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE BEEN SO INCREDIBLE, LIKE BOTH YOUR HONESTY AND ALSO, UM, YOUR INSIGHT AND JUST THE, YOUR SCOPE OF WORK. 
          AND I MEAN, JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S JUST BEEN AMAZING WORKING WITH THE ENTIRE TEAM, BUT IN PARTICULAR I THINK DEREK IS MY FAVORITE. 
          JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT. 
          I DON'T THINK I GUYS, I'M SORRY. 
          I SAW IT. 
          I MEAN, YOU KNOW, RUBIN, YOU OBVIOUSLY, YOU AND I ARE THE SAME THOUGH. 
          YOU AND I ARE ONE, SO THAT DOESN'T COUNT. 
          UM, SORRY. 
          WE HAD A LITTLE INFIGHTING THERE FOR A SECOND. 
          THE DISREGARD, UM, WHAT HAVE WE PRODUCED? OKAY. 
          SO THIS IS ACTUALLY BASED ON JUST MY REVIEW OF LIKE MARCH AND APRIL. 
          I DIDN'T EVEN REVIEW OUR, WE HAVE, LIKE, I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 300 PAGES OF NOTES. 
          WE HAVE NOTE TAKERS EVERY DAY, TAKING NOTES ON EVERYTHING THAT'S SAID ON OUR CALLS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S CAPTURED AND FOLLOWING UP AND SENDING OUT. 
          I MEAN, IT'S JUST AMAZING. 
          UM, WHAT'S KIND OF RISEN TO THE OCCASION, BUT WE'VE DONE, UM, A CULTURALLY RELEVANT WEBSITE. 
          WE DID, UH, SORT OF AT THE BEGINNING, WE DID A PRE, UH, PPE REALLOCATION. 
          A BUNCH OF UNIVERSITIES CAME TOGETHER TO REALLOCATE THEIR PPE TOWARDS HOSPITALS AND HELP BUILD THOSE STORES. 
          WE'VE AMPLIFIED NUMEROUS EVENTS. 
          WE HAVE A FACEBOOK GROUP THAT'S UP TO ALMOST A THOUSAND NOW. 
          UM, WE DO, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY STRATEGY AND MY FACE IS HIDING SOME OF THIS. 
          MMM. 
          OFFICIALS COME TO OUR CALLS. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, UM, AARON GARRETTE FROM, UM, LLOYD DOGGETT'S OFFICE IS REGULARLY ON THE CALL. 
          UM, UH, COMMISSIONER IS REGULARLY ON THE CALL, UM, CAUSE HE COULD, PRINCE IS REGULARLY ON THE CALL KIND OF BEING PART. 
          AND ERIC BIRD'S BEEN ON A FEW TIMES, HEY ERIC, GOOD TO SEE YOU. 
          UM, AND SO WE OFFICIALS WOULD COME TO THE CALL TO KIND OF GET, LISTEN IN ON WHAT'S EMERGING IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND UM, ALSO SOMETIMES GIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS, UM, WE'VE DONE, WE'VE HAD SPINOFF PROJECTS ON FOOD SYSTEM. 
          UH, ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE FOOD SYSTEM PROJECTS IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW, UM, PRISONS IN JUVENILES, UM, WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST, A AISD RESPONSE SUPPORT GROUP, UM, THAT WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING ISD MOVED MORE TOWARDS A PASS INCOMPLETE PROCESS AND IMPLEMENT SOME PROCESSES THAT WOULD BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE COMMUNITY NEED AND MORE APPROPRIATE TO THE DIGITAL DIVIDE. 
          WE HAVE AN INFOGRAPHICS TEAM AND LOTS OF INFOGRAPHICS. 
          UM, WE'VE HAD A PROJECT, UM, WE'RE WORKING WITH ACF ON THE EQUITABILITY OF THEIR FUNDING OF COMMUNITY NONPROFITS AND BETWEEN THE FIRST ROUND AND THE NEXT ROUND, THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED A BUNCH OF CHANGES THAT WE RECOMMENDED A SERVICE EXPERIENCE SURVEY THAT THE EQUITY OFFICE HAS UTILIZED. 
          UM, OH THE MINUTE WITH THE MAYOR CAME OUT OF A PROPOSAL THAT WE SUGGESTED. 
          WE WERE ALSO PART OF THREE DIFFERENT COLLABORATIVES THAT HELPED MOVE US FROM PHASE TWO TO PHASE FIVE IN THAT FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS, UM, BECAUSE IT WAS NECESSARY AND WE PUT TOGETHER DOCUMENTS TO HELP SUPPORT THAT HAPPENING. 
          MMM. 
          MOBILE CLINICS ARE LIKE JUST A SUPER EXCITING TOPIC. 
          UM, AND THEN JUST RESOURCE AGGREGATION. 
          [00:55:01]
LIKE WE HAVE PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, 20 DIFFERENT SPREADSHEETS, AGGREGATING RESOURCES THAT WE UTILIZE AS A GROUP TO HELP, UH, GET PEOPLE WHAT THEY NEED WHEN THEY NEED IT. 
          SO, AND THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT HALF OF WHAT'S GOTTEN ACCOMPLISHED BY THE GROUP, UM, SO FAR SO, MMM. 
          AND WHEN I LOOK AT IT, I HAVE TO SAY IT'S A LITTLE BIT, IT'S A LITTLE OVERWHELMING TO SEE WHAT WE ACTUALLY REALLY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED ABOUT IT IS THAT IT'S A DECENTRALIZED, WELL, I MEAN, WE ARE, WE'RE TRAFFIC COPYING A LOT OF IT, BUT THERE'S A DECENTRALIZED EMPOWERMENT MODEL WHERE WE, I HELP THE COMMUNITY IDENTIFY WHAT'S NEEDED AND THEN WE RUSH RESOURCES TO THAT. 
          AND THEN WE ALLOW THEM TO GO DO THEIR THING AND THEY REPORT BACK. 
          UM, WHICH BY THE WAY, I'M GLAD YOU SAID RUSH BECAUSE, UM, DO YOU WANT TO, I CAN COVER THIS RIBBON OR DO YOU WANT TO YEAH. 
          SO I'LL DO THIS ONE AND THEN WE'LL HOPEFULLY WRAP UP HERE IN A SECOND. 
          UM, YEAH. 
          SO IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK, UM, SO SOMETIMES WE GET CAUGHT UP IN DOGMAS OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, FOR EXAMPLE, HERE WE HAVE ROBERT'S RULES. 
          LIKE THERE'S A CHAIR APPROVED, IS IT NOT APPROVED? WE GOT THAT. 
          SOMETIMES WE GET SO CAUGHT UP IN DARKNESS AND WE THINK THAT THE WAY THAT WE'RE DOING IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT, THAT WE GET BLINDSIDED AND WE GET A LOT OF BLIND SPOT AND CREATE A LOT OF BIAS. 
          SO WE REALIZED THAT IF EQUITY WAS REALLY GOING TO BE AT THE CENTER OF IT AND NEEDED TO, WE NEED TO FIRST START WITH THAT. 
          AND SO FOR EXAMPLE, AS WE CONTINUE TO ONBOARD NEW PEOPLE TO THE COLLECTIVE, WE'RE ASKING THEM TO HAVE DONE A LOT OF ANTI-RACIST WORK, BUT IT DOESN'T JUST STOP THERE AND NEEDS TO BE REALLY MULTIFACETED IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TALK EACH OTHER'S LANGUAGE. 
          I COME FROM A HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN AND INNOVATION BACKGROUND AND STARTED BACKGROUND. 
          SO FOR ME TO HAVE TALK ABOUT HEALING WAS LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? LIKE, LET ME JUST SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 
          LET ME GO INTO FIXING MODE. 
          LIKE NO, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA SIT THERE AND LISTEN. 
          AND SO THESE DIFFERENT, UM, ELEMENTS OF THINKING FROM EQUITY TO HEALING, TO SYSTEMS DESIGN, WHICH IS MY JAM TO TRANSFORMATION, WHICH ME AND JANICE ARE WORKING IN AN UNDERSTANDING HOW TO TRANSFORM PARTICULARLY SITUATIONS INTO A NEW PERSPECTIVE SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. 
          UM, THIS ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO SEE THINGS THAT NORMALLY MOST PEOPLE WOULD JUST GET STUCK AND SAY, WELL, IT CAN'T BE FIXED. 
          WE'VE DONE IT. 
          WE'VE TRIED IT LIKE THIS BEFORE AND IT DIDN'T WORK. 
          AND SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY TWEAKING AT IT AND WE'RE WORKING IN SO THAT WE CAN MOVE THINGS FORWARD THAT WERE STUCK BEFORE JANICE. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, JUST SAY JUST A COUPLE OF CALL-OUTS HERE, UM, YOU KNOW, DIVERSE AND REPRESENTATIVE, LIKE WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY REPRESENTING PEOPLE ON THE GROUND, NOT JUST, UM, DIVERSITY IN TERMS OF ETHNICITY, BUT REALLY ARE YOU WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PEOPLE IN THE NAVY IN NEIGHBORHOODS IN AN AREAS NEED AND WANT. 
          UM, AND ARE YOU AN ADVOCATE FOR THAT? UM, FROM A TRANSFORMATIONAL? SO THAT'S EQUITY FROM A TRANSFORMATIONAL STANDPOINT, LIKE REALLY STANDING IN A FUTURE OUTCOME WE WANT TO PRODUCE AND, AND SORT OF ASSUMING A ROLE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND LISTENING TO WHAT PEOPLE, WHAT, HOW PEOPLE ARE HEARING WHAT'S BEING SAID AS AN ACTIVE STANCE TO HAVE IT BE EFFECTIVE. 
          UM, AND THEN I THINK RUBEN KIND OF COVERED SORT OF THE SYSTEMS DESIGN, HUMAN CENTERED, STRATEGIC AND ACTIONABLE APPROACH. 
          AND, UM, AND THEN HEALING. 
          AND PARTICULARLY, I WANT TO JUST CALL OUT THAT IN THIS PROCESS, YOU KNOW, A BIG PART OF WHAT'S SURPRISING AND HAS WORKED AND NOT WORKED AND WORKED ABOUT WHAT WE'VE DONE IS THAT CONFLICTS HAVE COME UP IN OUR GROUP BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AS THEY COME UP, WE USE THEM AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN COMMUNICATION, TO UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMIC AND THEN, UM, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. 
          YOU STILL, SO YOU STILL GO WITH ME RIGHT. 
          JERKER. 
          WE'RE GOOD. 
          UM, BUT PART OF THAT REALLY IS, AS WE MOVE AS A GROUP, WHOEVER BRINGS UP THE ISSUE FIRST, WE REALLY OPERATE ON A CONSENT BASED MODEL. 
          SO, AND THIS IS RELATIVELY NEW. 
          UM, BUT IF SOMEBODY BRINGS UP AN ISSUE, THAT'S VERY SENSITIVE FOR THEM. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE RESPECT THE FACT THAT WE NEED THEIR CONSENT AND LEADERSHIP TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          WE NEED TO MOVE IN A WAY THAT WORKS FOR THEM BECAUSE IT'S SENSITIVE ISSUE FOR THEM. 
          AND THAT'S PART OF, UH, I APPRECIATE, ESPECIALLY IF THE TEAM HAS A ROLE IN THAT, UM, OUR STRATEGIC APPROACH TO MOVE INTO THIS, UH, YOU WANT ME TO COVER THIS RUBEN OR YOU WANT TO DO THAT? GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THIS IS KIND OF, HOW DO WE GET TO THE CORE OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO? SO WHAT ARE THE KEY ISSUES INFLUENCING THE OUTCOMES HERE? WE DON'T MAKE, LIKE, WE ACTUALLY DO MAKE A LOT OF ASSUMPTIONS, BUT WE CHALLENGE OUR OWN ASSUMPTIONS AND WE, AND UM, WE START WITH THE LIVED EXPERIENCE AND WE MATCH THAT WITH DATA. 
          UM, WHAT'S AT THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE. 
          SO WE LOOK TO SEE, AND WE LOOK IN ALL OF THAT TO SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. 
          CAUSALLY, THAT'S HAVING THIS HAPPEN FROM A SYSTEMIC STANDPOINT. 
          WE TAKE THAT AND WE MOVE INTO, WHERE DOES THE INEQUITY LIE? WHERE'S THE INTEGRITY LACKING? SO WHAT ARE THE POLICIES, PRACTICES, TRAINING, GATEKEEPERS, ET CETERA, THAT ARE PERPETUATING THIS INEQUITY. 
          AND THEN WHAT ARE THE LEVERAGE POINTS TO IMPACT THAT ISSUE WITH THE HOLE AT THE SOURCE? WHO SHOULD I TALK TO? WHERE ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO INFLUENCE THIS? WHAT ARE THE PUBLIC PRESSURE POINTS TO PUT ON? 
          [01:00:01]
UM, LIKE WHAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY. 
          AND LASTLY, WE TAKE ON REALLY, WHO HAS LIKE, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ACTUALLY DO AS A GROUP TO TAKE THIS ON? UM, ARE WE GOING TO TAKE IT ON? AND IF SO, HOW, AND THEN, OR WHO COULD WE SUPPORT? WHO'S ALREADY ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. 
          UM, AND JUST TO KIND OF GET INTO OUR EVOLUTION AS A GROUP, WE'VE SORT OF MOVED THROUGH THESE PHASES. 
          SO WE BUILT OUR TEAM, WHAT WAS MISSING. 
          THAT'S REALLY A PLACE WE WERE LOOKING FROM. 
          WE THEN BUILT TRUST, RESOLVED CONFLICTS, UM, BUILT OUR COLLABORATIONS AND STRATEGIES. 
          WE'RE NOW SORT OF IN THIS PHASE OF FORMALIZING, DEVELOPING WORKABILITY, UM, AND SORT OF STRENGTHENING OUR STRATEGY SOLUTIONS AND COLLABORATION. 
          AND THEN, UM, WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO FORM AN OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIP, WHICH WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT FOR A COUPLE OF THREE WEEKS THROUGH. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG, LONG TIME, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE RUNNING OUT A LITTLE BIT ON TIME AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW KEN, UH, UH, CAN COLLABORATE. 
          I STARTED, I THINK THIS IS ONE OF OUR SECOND FOR LAST SLIDE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO BASICALLY WHERE WE ARE, UM, YOU KNOW, I, WELL JUST, JUST, JUST FINALIZE. 
          THIS IS KIND OF WHERE WE'RE HEADING NEXT. 
          HOW DO WE BUILD OUR CAPACITY AND SHARE THE MODEL, UM, AND FOR THAT? MMM. 
          SO IN TERMS OF OUR NEEDS, LIKE WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN SEEING WHERE DO OUR NEEDS OVERLAP. 
          UM, WE'D LOVE TO INTERCONNECT WITH YOU AND MAKE SURE THAT WE SHARE TABLES. 
          LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE SEE OURSELVES BUILDING A TABLE. 
          UM, WE'D LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE HEADED AND HOW WE CAN COLLABORATE, COLLABORATE, AND STRATEGIZE TOGETHER. 
          AND WE'D LOVE TO EXPLORE HOW TO AMPLIFY AMPLIFY EACH OTHER'S EFFORTS. 
          SO THAT'S, UM, THAT ABOUT KIND OF SUMS UP WHERE WE ARE AND I'M SORRY, WE RAN OVER TIME. 
          I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT ROLE. 
          I OH, I DIDN'T WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME. 
          OH, THAT'S OKAY. 
          WE RAN OVER A LITTLE ON MY ED REPORT, SO GUILTY OVER HERE TOO. 
          UM, BUT WE WILL KIND OF TAKE A QUESTION OR TWO, UM, BEFORE GOING TO THE NEXT PANEL. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'VE WORKED WITH THE SCRIPT, SEEING HIM IN ACTION. 
          UM, DR. 
          HOCKADAY, I'VE GOT TO SAY AT A TIME WHEN PEOPLE WEREN'T LOOKING AT SOME OF THE MOST UNDERSERVED OR, OR, YOU KNOW, SERVED COMMUNITIES REGARDING WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH COVID-19, YOU STEPPED UP, YOU MADE THE CONNECTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WERE TAKEN CARE OF. 
          I CAN'T THINK OF ENOUGH OF WHAT WE'VE DONE IN PFLUGERVILLE WITH THE POPUP CLINIC. 
          AND THEY WENT AND WORKED FOR THAT. 
          SO CENTRAL HEALTH COMMUNITY CARE HATS OFF TO WORKING TOGETHER FOR THAT, THAT SHOWS WHAT WE CAN DO A COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS, BUT RUBIN JANICE, PHENOMENAL JOB WORKING ON THIS, GETTING THIS ORGANIZED TOGETHER. 
          YOU HAVE ADVOCATES AT THE TABLE HERE WHO WILL CARE AND SUPPORT YOU GUYS IN WHAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. 
          YEAH. 
          I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SECOND THAT YOU ALL HAVE HELD US ACCOUNTABLE AT AISD, AND YOU'VE ALSO HELPED US DEFINE THE PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T BEING WELL-SERVED. 
          UM, WE WERE PUTTING OUT A LOT OF, UH, GREAT EFFORT, BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR EYES, EARS, AND BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU ALL CHOOSE TO WORK, UH, AND CENTRALIZED EQUITY. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU. 
          I'M NOT ABLE TO GET ON THE CALLS, BUT, UH, SHANE WALLY, OUR COMMUNITY COORDINATOR AT THE DISTRICT IS, AND WE ALWAYS HAVE DEBRIEFS AND YOU ALL ARE DOING SOME AMAZING AND PHENOMENAL WORK THAT'S NEVER BEEN DONE IN, IN CENTRAL TEXAS. 
          SO HATS OFF TO YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU GOT ME A LITTLE BIT ON THAT ONE. 
          STEPHANIE, THANKS.

          AND I WILL KNOW YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          NORA, NORA AND I ARE ON THE CALLS A LOT, NOT EVERY SINGLE DAY, BUT UH, HI, NORA, MORE RELIGIOUSLY THAN ME. 
          UM, SO WE DO KIND OF GET, BUT THEY'RE DOING, IT'S INFORMING THE WAY WE TRY TO APPROACH YOUR WORK AS WELL. 
          SO THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL OF THAT. 
          CAUSE IT'S SO VERY VALUABLE. 
          ANYTHING ELSE? NO, JUST THANK YOU AND ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY IS WELCOME TO JOIN. 
          IF YOU'D LIKE TO PUT YOUR EMAIL IN THE CHAT, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON THE CALLS. 
          AND, UM, THIS REALLY HAS BEEN AN EMERGING. 
          THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE DESIGNED AHEAD OF TIME. 
          IT'S WHAT WE DISCOVERED IT. 
          SO I'M JUST THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US AND REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW WE CAN PARTNER. 
          WHAT WE WILL SAY IS THAT WE TRY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE THINK WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO, AND THEN THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO DO. 
          AND SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY LISTENING TO WHAT DOES A COMMUNITY WANT. 
          AND THEN WHEN WE DO THAT THINGS OPEN UP AND THERE'S NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S THE SECRET HERE. 
          YEP. 
          YES, I WOULD DEFINITELY. 
          MMM. 
          I WOULD DEFINITELY SECOND THAT, AND FAR AS COUNSELOR MENTOR IS CONCERNED, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO WHAT I WANTED TO DO WITHOUT THE ADVOCACY THAT I GOT FROM JANICE AND RUBIN AND 
          [01:05:01]
CONNECTING ME AND, AND MAKING SURE THAT I WAS ABLE TO HELP YOU GUYS OUT THERE AND PFLUGERVILLE. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I CAN SAY IS THE MOST AMAZING THING ABOUT THIS GROUP. 
          THEY REALLY LISTENED TO WHAT'S ON THE GROUND AND THEY'RE VERY ACTIONABLE ABOUT IT. 
          HEY, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. 
          I'M I WISH I HAD THE BRAIN SPACE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU LAID OUT TODAY. 
          AND I WANT TO TRY AGAIN AT ANOTHER TIME, UH, AND INCLUDE SOME OF MY CITY HALL STAFF WHO I THINK WOULD BE, UM, EXCITED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE. 
          UM, REALLY THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU.

          I DID. 
          MY ONLY QUESTION FOR YOU IS SO BASED ON WHAT YOU STARTED YOUR CONVERSATION WITH, UH, WHEN THE MAYOR SAYS THE PHRASE SOCIAL INNOVATION, SHOULD I POKE HIM IN THE RIBS AND ASK HIM TO THANK YOU EVERYONE. 
          SO WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT MORNING? WHEN HE GOT ELECTED? I GOT MY CALLS WERE LIKE, MY PHONE'S BLOWING UP AND SAID, ARE YOU MAD? AND I SAY, IT'S NOT ABOUT ME BEING MAD. 
          OBVIOUSLY IT'D BE NICE. 
          BUT THE THING IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT THE WORK IS GETTING DONE. 
          SO IF HE'S GOING TO BE A CHAMPION FOR THE VISION AND HELP PROVIDE RESOURCES, THEN THAT'S WHAT I CARE ABOUT BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITY ON THE GROUND NEEDS IT. 
          SO RIGHT NOW IT'S EVOLVED TO HOW DO WE CENTER EQUITY? SO THAT AUSTIN IS A ROLE MODEL CITY. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          YEAH, BUT I LOVE WORKING WITH MAYOR AND I ALSO LOVE TEASING HIM BECAUSE HE'S THE MAYOR. 
          HE CAN TAKE IT. 
          UH, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THESE WHITE DUDES, MAN, WE GOTTA BE REMINDED TO THANK PEOPLE OR WE WON'T. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WORK AND BEING ON THE CALL TODAY ON BEING ON OUR CALL TODAY. 
          THANKS. 
          THANKS. 
          UH, WONDERFUL. 
          SO WE HAVE OUR LAST 
          [Item 7]
ITEM. 
          WE'RE ONLY 10 MINUTES BEHIND. 
          WE'RE NOT DOING TOO BAD. 
          UM, AND WE'VE GOT, UH, FOLKS FROM COMMUNITY CARE, UH, ALL CITY OF AUSTIN EQUITY OFFICE, PUBLIC HEALTH INTEGRAL CARE RUBIN. 
          WHY DON'T YOU LAY THIS OUT FOR US? ROLL ROLL. 
          SURE. 
          I'M SURE RUDELY WOULD BE FINE DOING IT TOO. 
          HE DOES IT EVERY DAY AT 10:00 AM OR AT LEAST EVERY OTHER DAY, I SHOULD SAY. 
          MMM. 
          BUT, UH, BUT NO, I THINK WHEN, UM, YOU, WE WERE TALKING WITH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ABOUT ANOTHER, THE NEXT MMM. 
          CAN MEETING, UM, CAUSE THE LAST TWO MEETINGS HAVE BEEN WELL, LET'S JUST KIND OF CONNECT WITH ALL THE PARTNERS TO FIND OUT WHAT, WHAT THEY'RE WORKING ON, WHAT THEY SEE HE HAS NEEDS AND HOW WE CAN HELP, UH, ALIGN AND COORDINATE THESE EFFORTS. 
          UM, AND SO WE FELT THAT WE WEREN'T QUITE READY FOR, TO GO BACK TO OUR NORMAL, UM, MEETING PROCESS. 
          SO, UM, DO THE ISSUE AGAIN, THAT HAS BEEN ON TOP OF THE MMM OF, UH, OF MIND IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAS BEEN THE DISPROPORTIONALITY TERMS OF HEALTH OUTCOMES BY, FOR RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITIES. 
          SO YEAH. 
          UM, WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE FOCUSING IN ON THAT, THE DISPARITIES THAT OUR HEALTH PARTNERS ARE SEEING AND THE CHALLENGES, UM, THAT THEY MAY BE SEEN AND OKAY, WITH THE LENS OF HOW CAN WE HELP THESE FOLKS ON THE FRONT LINE ADDRESS THOSE CHALLENGES. 
          SO THAT'S REALLY KIND OF THE SPIRIT IN WHICH KIND OF WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO THE FOREFRONT. 
          AND I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN CALLED TO PRESENT ON THIS TOPIC A MANY A TIME, AND I KNOW YOU ALL ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF ADDRESSING THIS KIND OF HEALTH STUFF CRISIS. 
          SO WE THANK YOU FOR MAKING TIME TO BE WITH US AND TO SHARE MMM. 
          AGAIN, FOR ME, IT'S TO SHARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAM TO, UM, SUPPORT CAM PARTNERS, YOU KNOW, AND CAN STAFF TO SUPPORT, UH, YOUR WORK GIVEN THE EXTENT OF THE CHALLENGE. 
          SO I'M NOT SURE IF Y'ALL HAVE A DESIRED ORDER IN WHICH TO PRESENT. 
          UH, UM, CAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE JASON FROM, UH, COMMUNITY CARE AND ADRIAN FROM MOSCOW, PUBLIC HEALTH AND BRIAN FROM THE EQUITY OFFICE AND OF COURSE LOUISE FROM INTEGRAL CARE. 
          UM, BUT IS THERE A PREFERRED ROUTE? BRIAN, IS, DID YOU WANT TO LAY IT OUT OR DO WE WANT TO START WITH, UH, KIND OF A PRESENTATION ON THE STATISTICS OR JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE SKIT STATISTICS AND WHERE WE ARE? I WILL DEFER TO MY ESTEEM COLLEAGUE, ADRIAN STIR TO SEE HOW SHE LIKES TO PROCEED AND I'M FLEXIBLE. 
          SO EITHER WAY, BUT I'LL DEFER TO THE ADRIAN AS A, AS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM OUR PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, BRIAN, 
          [01:10:02]
I WAS LIKE FOR YOU TO GO FIRST BECAUSE I THINK, UM, YOU SET THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT. 
          I'M GOOD WITH THAT. 
          WE'LL I CAN, UH, SO GIVE ME A MINUTE. 
          I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN HERE AND UM, OH YEAH. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO CAN EVERYONE SEE MY PRESENTATION? YES, SIR. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          I SAW I'LL GO AHEAD. 
          SO I, UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CONTEXT, UM, THAT THE CR TEAM, UH, WAS REALLY FRAMING IT IN THEIR PRESENTATION BECAUSE, UM, I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE TO, UH, RUBIN AND JANICE SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN, UH, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING STARTED REALLY HAPPENING ENROLLING WITH, UH, THE PANDEMIC, UM, MY TEAM AND OUR WE'RE KIND OF LIKE CALLING EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY AS, YOU KNOW, WE WERE DIRECTED TO, TO BEGIN TO WORK FROM HOME AND REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, UM, OKAY, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US? WHAT DO WE DO? UM, WE HADN'T HAD AN EXPERIENCE OF A PANDEMIC, BUT ALSO REALIZING THAT IN SOME TYPE OF WAY, UH, EQUITY WAS GOING TO BE CENTERED, UH, TO HOW WE DEALT WITH THE PANDEMIC IN, UM, THE, UH, IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO WITH THAT, UM, WE ACTUALLY CAME ON BOARD TO BE A PART OF THE TEAM OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES BRANCH OF THE AUSTIN, TRAVIS COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. 
          AND, UH, SINCE THEN WE'VE BEEN, UH, MOVED TO THE COMMAND TEAM AS, AS WELL AS I ACTUALLY ALSO STARTED TO SERVE ON THE DIRECTORS TEAM FOR THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE BECAUSE OF THE ROLE THAT WE REALIZED THAT EQUITY PLAYS THROUGH THAT. 
          AND A LOT OF THE INITIAL WORK THAT WE DID AROUND THE RESPONSE WAS REALLY TRYING TO HELP PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK AND A MECHANISM FOR, UH, EQUITY TO BE A KID CENTERED, UH, UH, TO BE CENTERED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RESPONSE EFFORT IN. 
          SO, UH, WITH THAT BEFORE, YOU KNOW, I GET INTO TO THIS INTERSECTION OF HOW, UH, EQUITY, UH, RELATES TO THE PANDEMIC. 
          I ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK FIRST ABOUT WHAT IS EQUITY. 
          YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WE'RE IN A LOT OF SPACES NOW WHERE EVERYONE REALLY LIKES TO THROW THAT WORD AROUND AND, UM, BUT OFTENTIMES SOMETIMES WE WORKED FROM DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS OF WHAT THAT MEANS. 
          AND SO I ALWAYS TAKE THE CHANCE TO NORMALIZE AND DEFINE THAT. 
          AND SO, UM, WE SPENT A YEAR ACTUALLY, WHEN OUR OFFICE WAS CREATED, WE SPENT THE FIRST YEAR REALLY WORKING ON DEFINING, UH, AND REALLY SORT OF HAVING A CLARITY AROUND WHERE WE MEET. 
          WE TALK ABOUT EQUITY AND FOR US, UH, WE LEAVE WITH RACIAL EQUITY, WHICH IS A CONDITION WHEN RACING NO LONGER PREDICTS A PERSON'S QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY THAT, UH, THAT TENDS TO BE SOMETIMES THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL PIECE OF THE WORK THAT WE DO, UH, IN TERMS OF LEADING WITH RACE. 
          BUT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL OF OUR QUALITY OF LIFE OUTCOMES, UM, THE MOST RELIABLE PREDICTOR ACROSS THEM, UH, IS ALWAYS ALONG RACIAL LINES. 
          AND SO WE SORT OF SAY, WE CAN'T WALK AWAY FROM THAT AND WE HAVE TO LEAD WITH THAT BECAUSE IT'S SO ESSENTIAL. 
          AND SO, UH, IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ALSO, UM, TALK A LOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EQUITY AND EQUALITY AND REALLY SORT OF UNDERSTANDING AND SORT OF SHEDDING LIGHT THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND, YOU KNOW, EQUITY IS REALLY ABOUT GETTING PEOPLE WHAT THEY NEED TO GET THEM, UH, TO, TO WHERE, UM, UM, THEY WANT TO BE IN WHERE WE, WHERE WE NEED THEM TO BE. 
          AND, UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT CONCEPT PLAY OUT SO EVIDENT IN, UM, THE, THE WAY THAT THE PANDEMIC IS UNFOLDING. 
          SO WE ALSO ALWAYS WORK FROM, UH, THIS FRAMEWORK OF ULTIMATELY TRYING TO BRING THIS EQUITY LENS TO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. 
          AND THIS IS A PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITHIN OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS. 
          AND THAT LENS IS REALLY COMPOSED, UM, OF THESE THREE COMPONENTS, WHICH YOU'LL ALWAYS SEE US IN THESE SPACES, WHICH IS NORMALIZING, DEVELOPING, SHARED UNDERSTANDING AROUND EQUITY. 
          WE DO A LOT OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT FOR STAFF AND COMMUNITY. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE DOING, UM, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WAS HOSTING A MONTHLY UNDOING RACISM WORKSHOP AFTER CITY STAFF AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, TO BE A PART OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS. 
          WE ALSO FOCUS A LOT ON ORGANIZING AROUND EQUITY, WHICH IS, UM, UH, CONNECTIONS WITH COMMUNITY BOTH 
          [01:15:01]
INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. 
          SO THIS IS WORK THAT, UH, THAT IS COLLABORATIVE IN NATURE. 
          AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE FRAMEWORKS LIKE CRT, BECAUSE IT REALLY EMBODIES THE SPIRIT OF HOW WE ORGANIZE, UH, AND THEIR SORT OF SHARED PARTNERSHIP AND COLLECTIVE ACTION ACROSS THINGS. 
          AND EQUITY IS ONE OF THOSE, THOSE, THOSE CONCEPTS THAT CONTINUOUSLY NEEDS THAT. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE A MORE TECHNICAL PIECE OF OUR WORK, WHICH IS, UH, HOW DO WE SORT OF TAKE WHAT WE'VE LEARNED AND HOW WE CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER, BUT ALSO PUT IT INTO ACTION AND BUILD THESE TOOLS THAT FRAMEWORK AROUND US TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK. 
          SO WITH THAT, WE'VE INTRODUCED, UH, A RACIAL EQUITY FRAMEWORK TO THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. 
          AND THAT FRAMEWORK IS REALLY ROOTED ON THESE THREE PRINCIPLES THAT, UH, UH, WE BORROWED FROM THE GOVERNMENT ALLIANCE FOR RACE AND INEQUITY, UH, WHICH ALSO STARTED TO PUT OUT SOME GUIDANCE FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT, UH, IN TERMS OF HOW YOU RESPOND TO THE PANDEMIC. 
          AND, UH, THOSE THREE STEPS THAT THEY REALLY FOCUSED ON WAS, UH, KNOWING THE HISTORY, REVIEWING THE DATA, UH, AND PROACTIVELY CENTERING RACIAL EQUITY. 
          AND THAT'S REALLY BEEN THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO BRING TO ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. 
          AND SO WITH THAT, I'LL KINDA, UM, GIVE EVERYBODY JUST A QUICK LEVEL OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE THEMES THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH WITH ELC STAFF MEMBERS, UH, IN TERMS OF THE WAY THAT THEY GROUND THEIR WORK AND MOVE FORWARD. 
          UM, WE TALKED ABOUT HISTORY AS IT RELATES TO PLAGUES AND PANDEMICS. 
          AND, UM, SOME OF YOU ACTUALLY MAY KNOW, YOU KNOW, HISTORY OR BEHIND THE YELLOW FEVER PLAGUE, WHICH WAS A, UH, A DISEASE THAT WAS ACTUALLY TRANSMITTED THROUGH MOSQUITOES. 
          AND DURING THE 18 HUNDREDS, UH, WAS, HAD A PRETTY DEVASTATING EFFECT ON, UH, UH, ON, UH, ACTUALLY THE WHOLE ENTIRE NATION AT THAT TIME. 
          UM, BUT WE PULL THIS OUT AS AN EXAMPLE OF HISTORY BECAUSE, UH, IF YOU SORT OF RESEARCHED ABOUT THE YELLOW FEVER, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF RELATIONSHIPS TO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY. 
          UH, SO FOR EXAMPLE, UH, AS THE YELLOW FEVER, UH, HID, THERE WAS ALWAYS THESE PERPETUATED MYTHS THAT ENSLAVED BLACKS, FOR SOME REASON HAS SOME TYPE OF NATURAL RESISTANCE TO THE VIRUS. 
          BUT WHEN IN ACTUALITY, THEY WERE ACTUALLY AT HIGHEST RISK BECAUSE THEY WERE WORKING IN ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY WERE EXPOSE MORE TO BITES FROM MOSQUITOES, WHICH TRANSMITTED THE DISEASE. 
          UH, AND, YOU KNOW, WE SAW THOSE SIMILAR PARALLELS, UH, WHEN THE PANDEMIC BEGAN. 
          I REMEMBER I SEE ALL THESE MEANS ABOUT HOW BLACK FOLKS, UM, UH, WERE IMMUNE TO CORONA VIRUS. 
          SO WE HAD SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT US THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, THAT DIDN'T PUT US AT RISK. 
          AND NOW WE SEE ALL THIS DATA THAT WE KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT TRUE. 
          UH, ANOTHER, UH, NOTION THAT, UH, WAS BACK IN THE 18 HUNDREDS WITH THE YELLOW FEVER PLAY WAS THEY BROUGHT FORTH THESE NOTIONS OF WHO WAS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL WORKERS. 
          AND IN THAT TIME IT'S LAID BLACK FOLKS WERE FORCED TO WORK IN UNSAFE MOSQUITO INFESTED CONDITIONS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, AS YOU LOOK AT OUR DATA AND OUR TRENDS NOW, UH, WE COMPARE THAT TO THIS PATTERN THAT WE SEE OF, UM, UH, OF WHO'S SORT OF DETERMINED TO BE THESE ESSENTIAL WORKERS, UH, THAT ARE HAVING TO GO IN AND NOT BE ABLE TO SORT OF PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING AS MUCH, OR BE ABLE TO TELL A WORK AS, BUT, AND WHO DOES THAT IMPACT. 
          AND SO THERE'S A COMPARISON TO GO BACK TO THAT HISTORY. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT, WITH THIS BEING A PANDEMIC AND THE IMPORTANCE THAT HEALTHCARE PLAYS INTO IT, IT ALSO REQUIRES US TO LOOK INTO THE HISTORY OF HEALTHCARE IN THIS NATION, ESPECIALLY HEALTHCARE, AS IT RELATES TO COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, UH, AND ISSUES OF SYSTEMIC RACISM WITHIN HEALTHCARE, AND, UH, WRAPPED AROUND ISSUES OF TRUST AND LOWER POLYA CARE AND ALL THOSE DIFFERENT AREAS, UH, THAT WE'VE SEEN HISTORICALLY IN THE ENGAGEMENT OF HEALTHCARE FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR. 
          AND SO EXAMPLES OF THAT, THAT WE TALK ABOUT ARE, YOU KNOW, TUSKEGEE EXPERIMENT WITH I'M SURE MANY OF YOU KNOW ABOUT, UH, ARE EVEN, UM, UH, MEDICAL FIGURES LIKE MARIAN SAMSON WAS CALLED THE FATHER OF GYNECOLOGY. 
          UM, BUT, UH, DID HIS RESEARCH ON ENSLAVED BLACK WOMEN WITHOUT ANESTHESIA AND PRETTY MUCH VIOLATED ALL SORT OF, UM, MEDICAL RESEARCH PROTOCOLS THAT WE KNOW TODAY, UH, IN TERMS OF THOSE PROCEDURES, BUT NEVERTHELESS, YET ARROW AS THE FATHER OF GYNECOLOGY. 
          SO, UM, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW THAT HISTORY AND TO TALK ABOUT THAT HISTORY, BECAUSE THAT HISTORY SORT OF PLAYS IN THE CONTEXT OF HOW WE RESPOND TO A PANDEMIC. 
          WE ALSO TALK A LOT ABOUT, UM, THERE'S THIS ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND STABILIZATION COMPONENT TO THIS, TO THIS PANDEMIC TO, AND SO WE'VE SHARED DATA, UH, AROUND, UH, HOW'S THAT, HOW HAS THAT PLAYED OUT HISTORICALLY FOR US? AND SO NPR 
          [01:20:01]
DID A REALLY GREAT ANALYSIS OF HOUSEHOLDS THAT RECEIVE FEMA PAYOUTS, UH, AND REALLY LOOKING AT TRADE AS IN DATA, IN TERMS OF WHITE HOMEOWNERS AT EVERY LEVEL OF EDUCATION, UH, WERE MADE WEALTHIER. 
          AND WE CONSISTENTLY SORT OF SEE IN RECOVERY EFFORTS THAT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR BLACK AND LATIN X, UH, UH, COMMUNITIES DON'T BENEFIT AS MUCH FROM THOSE RECOVERY EFFORTS. 
          AND SO WE SAY THAT IMPORTANT BECAUSE AS WE APPROACH IT, OUR RESPONSE TO THAT DISBANDING, HOW DO WE SORT OF INTENTIONALLY SORT OF UNDO THAT AND NOT LET THAT BE OUR NARRATIVE? LIKE YOU'VE SEEN THE HISTORICAL NARRATIVE, UH, IN DISASTER RECOVERY EFFORTS FOR THE CONVENE. 
          AND THEN, UH, OUR SECOND AREA IS TO SAY THAT AS WE RESPOND TO THIS PANDEMIC, WE ALSO HAVE TO REVIEW THE DATA, KNOW THE DATA AND MAKE SURE THAT THE DATA IS DESEGREGATED BY RACE. 
          AND, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, AND I'M SURE THAT AS JASON AND ADRIAN HAD THEIR PRESENTATION, UH, UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE CONDITIONS OF PRE COVID LOOKED LIKE, ESPECIALLY THE CONDITIONS FOR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, UM, BEFORE THE PENN TAMMY. 
          AND SO, UH, SOME OF THE THINGS AS AN OFFICE THAT, UH, THAT WE REALLY TALKED ABOUT IS THAT, UH, LOOKING AT WHO WAS DISPROPORTIONALLY WORKING IN LOW PAYING OR HOURLY WAGE JOBS TO MAKE THE MONEY ABLE TO PROVIDE HERE INTO A REP WORK, UM, LOOKING AT THE LANDSCAPE OF WHO WAS MEDICALLY UNINSURED IN OUR COMMUNITY, UH, AND THEN LIVED IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED CORRIDORS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER SORT OF STATISTIC THAT WE LOOKED AT PRE COVID WAS THIS WHOLE NOTION OF WHAT THEY CALL LIQUID ASSETS. 
          LIQUID ASSETS ARE LIQUID ASSET POVERTY, WHICH IS BASICALLY SAYING, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WENT TO ZERO INCOME, WHICH YOU'D BE ABLE TO MAKE A ROUTE, YOU HAVE ENOUGH LIQUID ASSETS OR, UH, UH, AVAILABLE TO YOU TO BE ABLE TO SUBSIDIZE FOR THREE MONTHS. 
          AND THE REALITY IS ABOUT, UH, FOR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, UM, ABOUT 70% OF FAMILIES DON'T HAVE THAT LEVEL OF LIQUID ASSETS TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE THREE MONTHS. 
          SO THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN FURLOUGHED OR LAID OFF OF WORK, UH, AND WHAT, THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY HAD ENOUGH ASSETS ON HAND TO SUSTAIN THEM LOOK LIKE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO IT STARTS TO GIVE YOU THIS INSIGHT, UM, WHAT, UH, WHAT THE ECONOMIC STABILITY IS, UH, OF A COMMUNITY AND HOW WE CAN BE RESILIENT IN TIMES LIKE THIS AS WELL. 
          AND THEN THIS WHOLE, UH, UH, PREVALENCE OF, UH, UH, RATES OF CHRONIC DISEASE. 
          UH, AND ESPECIALLY IF THAT THOSE, THE PREVALENCE OF THAT CHRONIC DISEASE CONCENTRATED THROUGH OUR EASTERN CRESCENT OF THE CITY. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE CHART, THERE WAS A MAP, UH, FROM THE UT SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, UH, LOOKED AT SORT OF MAPPING OUT, UM, WHAT THEY CALL THE HIGHEST RISK CENSUS TRACKS IN THE CITY, AS IT RELATES TO, TO COMORBIDITIES FOR, UH, FOR THE CORONA VIRUS. 
          AND THEN YOU CAN SORT OF SEE IN RED ARE THOSE, UH, OTHERS TYPE OF THOSE TRACKS THAT HAVE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF WHAT THEY CALL THREE TO SEVEN RISK FACTORS. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT MAPS OUT SO WELL, THAT WHAT WE USUALLY REFER TO AS THE EASTERN CRESCENT OF THE CITY AND THE COUNTY, UH, AND THEN WE'VE SEEN THIS PLAY OUT IN A DATA, AND I KNOW THAT ADRIAN AND JASON WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS, BUT THIS IS JUST A CHART FROM DR. 
          S SCOTT'S, UH, UH, LAST UPDATE. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THAT, UH, THE PERCENT POSITIVE FOR HISPANIC COMMUNITY AT 17.9, 9%. 
          AND I THINK RAUL ALLUDED TO THIS EARLIER, UH, THAT WE SEE BECAUSE OF THE PRE COVID WE'RE SEEING ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS PLAY OUT. 
          UH, AND THAT, TO ME, THAT'S REALLY SORT OF WHAT NEEDS TO GUIDE US AS WE MOVE THIS WORK FORWARD. 
          UH, SO WHAT WE PROPOSE AND WHAT WE ARE REALLY BEEN PUSHING, UH, IS THIS ADOPTION OF THIS, THE EQUITY LENS ACROSS ALL WE DO. 
          AND WE FEEL THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT, UH, HAS TO REALLY CENTER COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND OTHER VULNERABLE, VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. 
          AS WE WORK TO RESPOND TO THE CRISIS, ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY CAN RECOVER AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          IF WE PROACTIVELY PLAN TO ENSURE THAT THOSE MOST NEGATIVELY IMPACTED AT RISK AND COME THROUGH THE PRICE AS HEALTHY AND FINANCIALLY STABLE, THEN WE'LL ALSO BE ENSURING THAT OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF, UH, AS WELL. 
          SO IN TERMS OF OUR BODY OF WORK AND THINGS, UM, THAT, UH, WE'VE BEEN REALLY PROUD OF IN YOUR RESPONSES THAT, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, A PARTNERSHIP WITH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED, UH, UH, FAMILY INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVE, UH, DISTRIBUTE $2 MILLION IN BASICALLY 72 HOURS, UH, TO FAMILIES THAT WERE, UH, AT NEED DURING THE FINANCIALLY IN NEED DURING THE CRISIS. 
          AND WE LEVERAGED, UH, THE, UH, THE INPUT OF OVER 30 COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO REALLY HELP US IDENTIFY FAMILIES AND GET THEM ELIGIBLE, UH, AND ALL THAT STUFF TO RECEIVE THE FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR THAT. 
          [01:25:01]
UH, BUT IT JUST SHOWED THE, UH, I THINK BEING ABLE TO SORT OF SHOW THE, UM, THE AGILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND IN TIMES OF NEED WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE. 
          UH, WE'VE ALSO CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED EQUITY GUIDE, AND I'LL ACTUALLY GIVE RAUL A COPY OF THIS. 
          UH, AND THIS GUIDE IS AVAILABLE FOR OUR STAFF THAT ARE WORKING IN THE EMERGENCY OPERATION TEAM, AND IT HAS SOME GUIDANCE FOR THEM IN TERMS OF IT, AS THEY DO DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND THEY STAND UP DIFFERENT PIECES OF THE RESPONSE, UH, THAT THIS WORK IS ADMITTED INTO THAT. 
          AND WE'VE MADE OURSELVES AVAILABLE, UH, REALLY AS CONSULTANTS ACROSS THE BOARD AND MULTIPLE LEVELS OF OUR EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER TO HELP DO THAT WORK AS WELL, AND THE ROLE OF CONSULTANTS. 
          AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL TO ORGANIZATIONS LIKE CRT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THEIR SURVEY THAT THEY DID ABOUT THE SERVICE DELIVERY RESPONSE HAS BEEN REALLY VALUABLE TO US BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE A COMMUNITY SORT OF EXPERIENCE WITH DIFFERENT SERVICES, UH, AS A RESULT OF THE RESPONSE AND SORT OF FEED THAT BACK INTO THE EOC TO CONTINUOUSLY MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SERVICE SERVICE DELIVERY COMPONENT. 
          UH, AND SO, UH, THAT TYPE OF THAT TYPE OF RESEARCH AND INFORMATION GATHERING IS CRITICAL FOR US TO REALLY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE GROUND. 
          AND WHEN WE STILL SORT OF SEE THAT THESE, UH, THESE SPECIFIC AREAS OF NEED AS, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, UM, ONE IS TO REALLY CONTINUE TO SUPPORT RACIAL EQUITY ACROSS ALL LEVELS OF, UH, OF THE EOC, UM, FOR SOME OF THE STAFF IN THE EOC AND SOME OF THE TEAMS, THIS IS THEIR FIRST FORAY INTO ACTUALLY INTENTIONALLY DOING THIS TYPE OF RACIAL EQUITY WORK, AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING TO BRING THEM ALONG. 
          UH, WE ALSO CONTINUOUSLY LOOKING AT HOW DO WE PROBLEM SOLVE AROUND ISSUES LIKE TRANSPORTATION TO DRIVE THROUGH TESTING AFTER HOURS TESTING, UM, AND THEN GREATER CAPACITY FOR MORE IN-HOME TESTING OR POP UP OR DOOR TO DOOR TESTING, AND THIS WHOLE CONCEPT OF HOW DO WE SORT OF MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE. 
          UM, AND THEN IN TERMS OF DATA, ONE OF THE AREAS THAT WE NEED AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS A TESTING BASELINE, UM, WE HAVE DISAGGREGATED DATA THAT'S COME ON BOARD, OR THE PERCENT POSITIVE. 
          UH, WE HAVE IT FOR HOSPITALIZATIONS, WE HAVE IT FOR, UH, UH, FOR, FOR FATALITIES, BUT THE ONE PIECE THAT WE'RE MISSING IS THE OVERALL SORT OF TESTING BASELINE. 
          AND THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE WE'LL BE ABLE TO, TO, TO TRY TO IDENTIFY IF CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF OUR POPULATION ARE NOT GET GETTING TESTED AT A RADAR LEVEL, UM, THAT THEY SHOULD BE GETTING AT. 
          AND RIGHT NOW, UH, I WOULD SAY WE'RE A LITTLE BIT IN THE DARK OF REALLY BEING ABLE TO TRY TO, TO, TO UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF EFFORTS TO TRY TO SORT OF BRING DIFFERENT HEALTH SYSTEMS TOGETHER, TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT DATA AND TO TRY TO GET THAT NUMBER FOR US. 
          BUT I JUST THINK THAT THAT'S A CRITICAL DATA PIECE THAT WE NEED, UH, AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          UH, IN ADDITION TO THAT, UH, I WOULD SAY, UH, HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO CENTER RACIAL EQUITY AS PART OF THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY EFFORTS, RIGHT? AND SO IN ALL OF THE DIFFERENT, UH, PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT ARE ROLLING OUT, UM, HOW ARE WE ACTUALLY ENSURING THAT THOSE FUNDING AND RESOURCES GET TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT, THAT MOST NEEDED, AND BASED UPON THAT PRE COVID DATA THAT WE HAVE, UM, WE'RE PRETTY CLEAR OF WHERE THOSE INVESTMENTS IN THEIR RESOURCE, THOSE RESOURCES SHOULD GO IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE ALSO NEED YOUR SUPPORT IN, UM, THESE INDUSTRY LEVEL INTERVENTIONS TO PROTECT ESSENTIAL WORKERS. 
          AND, UM, I'VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF DISCUSSION AROUND, UM, YES, THERE'S ALWAYS THE NEED TO DO OUTREACH AND EDUCATION. 
          UM, BUT IF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO GO INTO A JOB WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO BEING ABLE TO WASH THEIR HANDS WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO BEING ABLE TO SOCIAL DISTANCE WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO BEING ABLE TO HAVE FACE COVERINGS, UM, THEN WE'RE JUST SORT OF SPINNING OUR WHEELS. 
          AND SO WE NEED TO REALLY HELP, UH, SUPPORT, UH, SUPPORT THESE EFFORTS TO, AND, AND REALLY SORT OF TO MEET US THERE AS WELL. 
          SO THAT, UH, PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY, UH, COMING TO A PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THAT REALLY ALSO SUPPORTS, UM, THE, THE SAFETY PROTOCOLS THAT WE'RE ASKING THEM TO DO FROM A COMMUNITY LEVEL, UH, AS WELL. 
          AND SO I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS ONE, BUT THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE KEY QUESTIONS THAT, UH, AS OUR DIFFERENT ELC TEAMS ROLL OUT DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS OR PIECES OF THEIR WORK, UH, WE'RE TELLING THEM, WE'RE ALWAYS ASKING YOU THESE EIGHT QUESTIONS AND WE'RE ALWAYS FRAMING IT AROUND THOSE EIGHT QUESTIONS. 
          AND SO REALLY SORT OF ASKING WHAT DOES THE DATA TELL US, UM, UH, WHERE PEOPLE WOULD LIVE THE EXPERIENCE INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM DESIGN? UM, WHAT DOES A PERSON NOW FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE SERVICES LOOK LIKE, AND ARE THEY COMPETENT AND BEING ABLE TO CONNECT TO THE POPULATIONS AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF, YOU KNOW, FOR THE, FOR THE WORK 
          [01:30:01]
OR THE POLICY THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING? SO IT'S ALWAYS AN ONGOING DIALOGUE. 
          UH, AND WITH THAT, I'LL GO AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO JASON AND, AND ADRIAN TO SORT OF KICK US OFF IN SOME OF THE ACTUAL DATA THAT THEY'RE SEEING ON THE GROUND AND WHAT THE RESPONSE LOOKS LIKE. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT, BRIAN, I, SINCE MY PRESENTATION DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY DATA, I KICK IT OFF TO JASON. 
          IF HE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THAT MORE, UM, MY APPROACH WAS REALLY JUST SHARE SOME OF THE, OKAY, WHAT'S ON THE GROUND EFFORTS THAT THE SOCIAL SERVICE BRANDS HAS TRIED TO IMPLEMENT THROUGH THE EOC, AND THEN TO TALK ABOUT HOW, UM, THIS GROUP MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT. 
          SO, JASON, IF YOU WANT TO, AND MORE TO THE DATA DISCUSSION, I CAN TALK ABOUT THE TACTICS. 
          YEAH. 
          MORE THAN HAPPY TO ADRIAN AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE, JASON FORNEY WITH COMMUNITY CARE, BRIAN REALLY APPRECIATED YOUR PRESENTATION AND ALL OF THE GREAT INFORMATION YOU SHARED. 
          I THINK AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY CARERS, UH, UH, IS A VERY LARGE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER HERE IN AUSTIN. 
          WE HAVE 27 LOCATIONS, MOSTLY IN AUSTIN AND IN TRAVIS COUNTY, BUT WE DO HAVE A LOCATION IN BASTROP AS WELL AS IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY AND ROUND ROCK. 
          NOW I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SHARE MY SCREEN. 
          UM, AND SO LET ME JUST GET THAT JOIN. 
          CAN YOU GUYS SEE THAT? ALL RIGHT. 
          WE CAN. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANKS. 
          UM, SO I TH I THINK AS, AS A VERY LARGE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, UH, AND OF COURSE, MANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, CENTRAL HEALTH AS WELL, UH, FROM AN ENTERPRISE PERSPECTIVE, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR PREPARATIONS REALLY AROUND CORONAVIRUS BEGAN IN EARNEST IN MID FEBRUARY, UH, PUTTING TOGETHER A RAPID RESPONSE TEAM TO REALLY LOOK AT IT, HOW WE COULD STEP UP AND BE PREPARED TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE PANDEMIC. 
          YES, IT CAME CLOSER TO HOME HERE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. 
          AND SO WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT, IT REALLY AT THE INITIAL STAGE, IT WAS REALLY ABOUT, UH, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. 
          HOW DO WE SUSTAIN SERVICES? HOW DO WE TRANSITION SERVICES? UM, AND WE REALLY, BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE CARING FOR ALMOST 115,000 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS OF WHICH ABOUT 93, 94% HAVE INCOME BELOW 200% AND 84% OF THAT 115,000 ARE DRAWN FROM RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS. 
          IT WAS IMPERATIVE THAT WE BE WELL POSITIONED TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND. 
          OF COURSE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO WHAT WE DO KNOW QUITE WELL, ACTUATED HERE, I'M TRYING TO GET THIS TO SWITCH HERE, LET ME SWITCH TO POWERPOINT. 
          SO IT'LL MOVE FOR ME. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          IS THIS THAT, UM, UH, VERY INTERESTING, UH, SLIDE THAT ANALYZED THE SLIDE THAT, UH, BRIAN AND PUT UP, WE USE ONE VERY SIMILAR, UH, HERE WITHIN COMMUNITY CARE, AND WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT EQUALITY VERSUS EQUITY. 
          AND, AND WHILE IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR US TO GO AHEAD AND WORK AND RECOGNIZE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY, IT'S ALSO AS IMPORTANT, IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT WE ALL START AT DIFFERENT POINTS. 
          AND THIS IS ABOUT RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION AND HOW WE, AS THE LARGE SAFETY NET PROVIDER HELP IN DISTRICT DISTRIBUTION OF OUR RESOURCES TO STRENGTHEN THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. 
          AND SO I'M NOT GOING TO DIVE INTO THIS TOO MUCH BECAUSE BRIAN REALLY ALLUDED TO IT IN HIS PRESENTATION. 
          BUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE DID A COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT REALLY DOVE INTO THE DATA HERE LOCALLY WITHIN TRAVIS COUNTY, OUR SERVICE AREA AS DEFINED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TRAVIS COUNTY PROPER WESTON'S APPROACH AGAIN, AROUND ROCK AND IN BASTROP COUNTY AND WILLIAMSON. 
          UH, BUT WHEN WE TOOK A LOOK AT IT, IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH WHEN YOU DIVE INTO AND OUR FULL COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. 
          MMM. 
          AND YOU KNOW, THESE GRAPHICS THAT YOU'RE SEEING OFF TO THE RIGHT WHEN YOU WALK YOUR TRAVIS COUNTY ON INSURED RESIDENT RESONANCE, UH, VERY MUCH IN WHAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN RED THERE BY CENSUS TRACT IS THE EASTERN CRESCENT. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID, ONE THING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER WAS RATHER THAN JUST DEFINE IT BY EASTERN CRESCENT, WE DOVE IN AND WE LOOK AT INDIVIDUAL POPULATIONS AND DEFINE THEM AS VULNERABLE POPULATION FOOTPRINT. 
          IF THEY HAD A POPULATION WITH LESS THAN 20% OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN POVERTY AND WITH LESS THAN 25%, 25%, UH, NOT HAVING GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. 
          AND SO WE IDENTIFIED 37 CENSUS TRACKS, AND WE WORKED AT THAT INFORMATION ACROSS TRAVIS COUNTY TO FOCUS SOME OF OUR EFFORTS OVERALL DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN SEE SIMILAR ON INSURED INDIVIDUALS THAT MEDICAID DISTRIBUTION FOLLOWS THAT AND MIRRORS IT VERY SIMILARLY. 
          THEN WE DID A DEEPER DIVE INTO LOOKING AT WHAT HEALTH INFORMATION 
          [01:35:01]
THERE WAS. 
          AND SO TO NO SURPRISE, YOU KNOW, GIVING LONGSTANDING, UH, INSTITUTIONAL RACISM AND BIAS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE HERE WITHIN TRAVIS COUNTY, AUSTIN, THAT DATES BACK, UM, A VERY LONG PERIOD OF TIME, BUT CODIFIED IN 1928 THROUGH THE CITY MASTER PLAN. 
          WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE IMPACT THAT THAT'S HAD, EVEN AS WE FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, AND THIS IS DATA FROM THE 2018 BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTORS SURVEILLANCE SURVEY THROUGH THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, XE, DISEASE CONTROL, AND FAMILY AND FOUNDATION, AND REALLY THE 500 CITIES PROJECT WE FOUND ACROSS THE BOARD THAT EVERY HEALTH OUTCOME THAT WE LOOKED AT RELATIVE TO THE BRFS S WAS WORSE FOR THE VULNERABLE FOOTPRINT POPULATION, WHICH IS 37 CENSUS TRACKS IN EASTERN TRAVIS COUNTY. 
          AND THEN, UH, THAT THEY WERE WORSE OFF RESIDENTS OF THOSE CENSUS TRACKS, COMPARATIVE TO THE EASTERN CRESCENT AS A WHOLE. 
          BUT WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO THE REST OF TRAVIS COUNTY, BOTH THE EASTERN CRESCENT AND THE VULNERABLE POPULATION FOOTPRINT FARED FAR WORSE FROM HEALTH OUTCOMES WITH ONE EXCEPTION, WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT, AND THAT WAS CANCER, AND UNFORTUNATELY WITH CANCER, FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF CANCERS, YOU HAVE TO LIVE LONGER. 
          AND THERE'S A GRAPHIC THAT WE USE. 
          I DON'T HAVE IT IN THIS PRESENTATION, BUT THERE'S FIVE ZIP CODES BASED ON AUSTIN, PUBLIC HEALTH WORK AND THEIR COMMUNITY INDICATORS REPORT, WHERE WE HAVE FIVE ZIP CODES WHERE THE AVERAGE AGE OF DEATH IS FROM 59.8 TO 63.3. 
          AND THEY'RE ALL EASTERN TRAVIS COUNTY FACING. 
          UH, YOU CAN SEE SIMILARLY HERE BY SPECIFIC HEALTH OUTCOMES DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES. 
          1.8 TIMES MORE LIKELY IF YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THE VULNERABLE POPULATION FOOTPRINTS TO BE AFFLICTED BY DIABETES, COMPARATIVE OF SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN TRAVIS COUNTY, WEST OF  ESSENTIALLY. 
          UM, SO HOW DO WE USE THAT TO INFORM WHAT WE'RE DOING RELATIVE TO CORONA VIRUS HERE AT COMMUNITY CARE? WELL, WE'VE SET UP VERY EARLY ON. 
          SO REALLY THINGS STARTED TO HEAR HERE VERY QUICKLY WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY BY MID-MARCH AT THAT POINT IN TIME, TESTING SUPPLIES, TESTING KITS, UH, TESTING MEDIA, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WAS IN SHORT SUPPLY. 
          UH, BUT WE VERY DELIBERATELY WENT AHEAD AND STARTED SETTING UP TESTING CAPACITY. 
          AND WE DID THAT FIRST THROUGH OUR HANCOCK DRIVE-THROUGH. 
          AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY FROM THAT, WHEN IT'S TIME, WE'VE ADDED SIX MORE DRIVE-THROUGH LOCATIONS, ALL OF WHICH ARE EASTERN TRAVIS COUNTY FOCUSED. 
          AND SO WE HAVE LOCATION AT OUR WILLIAM CANNON. 
          IT'S A WALKUP DRIVE UP, UH, AT OUR WILLIAM CANNON SITE IN DOVE SPRINGS. 
          UH, WE OPERATE A ROTATING, A MOBILE TEAM THAT GOES OUT TO DEL VALLEY ON, ON, ON THURSDAYS, THEY'RE AT DELL VALLEY IN THE METRO, UH, METROPOLITAN SOUTHEASTERN METROPOLITAN PARK. 
          UH, WE'RE IN HORNSBY BEND COLONY PARK, UH, OR SORRY, HORN SPEED BAND. 
          UM, AUSTIN'S COLONY ON TUESDAYS, WE'RE IN COLONY PARK ON MONDAY AND FRIDAYS, AND WE'RE IN MEANER ON, UH, ON WEDNESDAYS. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ALSO UP IN PFLUGERVILLE PFLUGERVILLE THROUGH OUR PFLUGERVILLE HEALTH CENTER. 
          AND THAT'S THE SIXTH SITE THAT WAS BEEN ADDED FOR DRIVE UP. 
          AND WE'RE EXPANDING THAT NEXT WEEK IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT SOME ADDITIONAL SITES AS WELL. 
          WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE THOUGH IS REALLY THE RUN RATE SINCE MID-MARCH, YEAH,  THROUGH THE END OF ACTUALLY THROUGH YESTERDAY. 
          AND OUR TESTING HAS JUST INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY THIS WEEK. 
          WE'RE ON PACE TO PROVIDE ABOUT 2000 TESTS AND SIMILAR TO WHAT BRIAN INDICATED, UH, COMMUNITY CARE, UH, HAS AT ITS CORE NEEDING AND WANTING TO BE DATA INFORMED. 
          SO WE WANT TO GET THE DATA. 
          WE LOOK AT IT AS NEAR REAL TIME AS POSSIBLE, AND THEN MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WHERE OUR RESOURCES NEED TO GO. 
          AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE RECENTLY, STARTING ON MARCH 11TH, WE WENT AHEAD AND STARTED TESTING INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ASYMPTOMATIC WITHIN OUR HEALTH CENTER TO GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. 
          I WON'T DIVE INTO THAT TOO MUCH JUST GIVEN TIME AND WANTING TO REALLY DIVE INTO THE DATA A LITTLE BIT FURTHER. 
          SO WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS OUR DAILY DASHBOARD. 
          THIS IS PULLED ACROSS INTO A THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE THAT WE USE CALLED TABLEAU TO GO AHEAD AND REPRESENT OUR DATA. 
          BUT WHAT I HIGHLIGHT HERE IS, IS TO DATE. 
          SO GOING BACK FROM MID-MARCH THROUGH THE END OF, UH, YESTERDAY, WE'VE TESTED OVER 9,700 INDIVIDUALS, OUR POSITIVES WE'VE COME BACK WITH ALMOST 1500, YOU'LL SEE IN THE FAR RIGHT. 
          THIS IS OUR AVERAGE POSITIVITY. 
          IT'S 18.4% WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO THE STATE AT LARGE, THE STATE RIGHT NOW IS AVERAGING ABOUT 6.85%. 
          SO WE'RE SEEING A LOT, UH, GR UH, A MUCH HIGHER POSITIVITY RATE WITHIN OUR PATIENT POPULATION, IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE. 
          I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT OUR TESTING SITES FROM VERY EARLY ON HAVE BEEN OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. 
          UH, SO ONLY 44% OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE THAT 9,700 AS TESTED THROUGH YESTERDAY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN COMMUNITY CARE PATIENTS, BUT THEY'RE CERTAINLY REPRESENTED THE PATIENTS AND THE POPULATIONS THAT WE SERVE, WHICH YOU'RE SEEING ON HERE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM IS AGAIN, JUST A TREND LINE. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE 
          [01:40:01]
WE'VE REALLY INCREASED EVEN THOUGH OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, HOW MANY TESTS WE'RE PROVIDING, THEN WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE ON THE LEFT IS THE PERCENT POSITIVITY. 
          UM, AND SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND INCREASE OUR TESTING, WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS ACTUALLY AN INCREASE IN THE POSITIVITY RATE. 
          AND IT VARIES DEPENDING ON THE DAY YOU'LL NOTE, THOUGH, EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS JUNE 11TH, THAT'S NOT FOR TESTS THAT WERE CONDUCTED RIGHT NOW, IT'S TAKING ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE DAYS FOR US TO GET OUR TEST RESULTS BACK FROM DALLAS, WHERE OUR REFERENCE LAB IS, WHICH ISN'T THAT ATYPICAL RIGHT NOW, I SAW A COUNCIL MEMBER OF FLANAGAN. 
          I SAW YOUR EYES RAISED THERE. 
          UH, WE'RE TRYING AND WORKING VERY DELIBERATELY TRYING TO GET THAT TO LESS THAN 72 HOURS. 
          PART OF THIS IS, IS THAT THAT'S A REGIONAL LAB AND THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES AND THEIR CAPACITY IS LIMITED. 
          SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OTHER LABS, THEY'RE STRUGGLING AS WELL. 
          SO THREE TO FOUR DAYS IS NOT, BUT GIVEN WHERE OUR POSITIVITY RATES ARE, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM TO SEE US AS A HIGHER TIER. 
          SO WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IF I JUMP IN MY EYEBROWS WENT UP BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE IF IT WAS TEST CONDUCTED, DATE RESULT, DATE. 
          CORRECT. 
          WE DO TRACK THAT AS WELL. 
          THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          AND SO, YEAH, BECAUSE THIS IS A DASHBOARD WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT CAME IN YESTERDAY, WHAT CAME IN THE DAY BEFORE, AND WHAT DOES THAT TREND LOOK LIKE FROM A POSITIVITY PERSPECTIVE? BUT YES, WE'VE, WE'VE CONTROLLED FOR THAT. 
          UM, SO W WELL, ACTUALLY, I ACTUALLY TOOK OUT THAT SLIDE BECAUSE I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY SHARE OUR WEBSITE AND A CONNECTION TO OUR WEBSITES THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST LOOKING AT THE PRESENTATION AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE, WE'VE ACTUALLY MADE AVAILABLE A LOT OF OUR DATA. 
          AND SO THIS IS ACTUALLY FROM TWO DAYS AGO, CAUSE I STOLE THIS FROM A SLIDE WE DID YESTERDAY. 
          WE'RE DOING WEEKLY UPDATES TO UPDATES ON THURSDAYS AT NOON FROM 12 TO 1230 IN ENGLISH. 
          AND THEN FROM 1230 TO ONE IN SPANISH, I'M GOING TO JUST SWITCH SHARING AND DO A NEW SHARE HERE. 
          MMM. 
          AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE RIGHT NOW, YOU SHOULD SEE OUR WEBSITE. 
          DO YOU SEE OUR WEBSITE HERE RIGHT NOW? WELL, GREAT. 
          SO UP AT THE TOP, YOU'LL SEE. 
          THERE'S SORT OF, SO IT'S COMMUNITY CARE TX OUT, OR I'M NOT TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT OUR WEBSITE BY ANY MEANS WITH THIS, UH, REALLY THAT WEB PAGE THAT I'M GOING TO, IT'S DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER. 
          AND SO IF YOU JUST CORRECT CLICK UP AT THE CORONAVIRUS DASHBOARD HERE, IT'S GONNA LAUNCH OUR GEOCODING ARC GIS DASHBOARD. 
          AND THIS IS OUR CORONAVIRUS TESTING DASHBOARD. 
          UH, THIS IS BEING UPDATED THOROUGHLY, TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS, THREE OF EACH WEEK. 
          UH, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION THAT'S BEING UPDATED ON DAILY BASIS AS WELL. 
          AND SO THIS IS AVAILABLE TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE THAT'S OUT ON THE INTERNET. 
          AND SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IS WHAT WE'VE DONE. 
          AND THIS IS COMES TO BRIAN'S QUESTION. 
          THERE'S A WORK BEING DONE THROUGH, UH, UT DELL MEDICAL SCHOOL AT THE AUTHORITY BASED ON A TASK FORCE PUT TOGETHER BY DR. 
          ASCOT, UH, WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE ALL THE TESTING THAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW PREVALENT FOR RONA VIRUS WAS IN THE COMMUNITY IS, UH, COMMUNITY CARE HAS BEEN ACTUALLY TRACKING THIS FOR SOME TIME. 
          SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE MIDDLE HERE, UH, IS, WELL, I'LL GO TO THE TOP REAL QUICK. 
          SO THIS IS WHAT YOU JUST SAW BY DAY, THE POSITIVITY. 
          THIS IS OUR RUN RATE IN TERMS OF OVERALL POSITIVITY. 
          WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING, HONESTLY, IT'S NOT THAT HELPFUL, UH, WHEN IT'S MORE HELPFULLY HELPFUL, WHERE'S THIS HEADING AND WHERE WE ARE MORE RECENTLY. 
          SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'RE PRESENTING THE LAST FOUR WEEKS OF TREND INFORMATION AND YOU CAN SEE, UNFORTUNATELY BY WEEK WE'RE SEEING OUR POSITIVITY RATE FOR ALL RACES AND ETHNICITIES INCREASE. 
          AND THEN WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS, IS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM IS WE ACTUALLY HAVE THAT BY CORRECTION. 
          AND SO THAT CORRECTION IS THREE WEEKS AGO. 
          WE STARTED TESTING ASYMPTOMATIC INDIVIDUALS, UH, THAT HAD NO EXPOSURE WITHIN OUR HEALTH CENTERS. 
          SO TO CONTROL FOR THAT AND TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW OUR ACTUAL TREND ALL THE WAY BACK TO MID MARCH HAS BEEN, WE CONTROLLED FOR THAT TO GET A TRUE RUN RATE. 
          AND SO YOU'RE SEEING WHAT THEY SUBMIT ASYMPTOMATIC. 
          NO EXPOSURE IS UP AT THE, IN THE MIDDLE OF GRAPHIC HERE, BUT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU'RE SEEING IT CONTROLLING FOR THOSE NON EXPOSED EAST SYMPTOMATIC FOLKS WHO HAPPEN TO JUST BE COMING TO OUR CLINIC WHERE WE'RE OFFERING THEM THE OPTION OF GETTING A CORONAVIRUS. 
          AND THEY HAVE NO CLINICAL INDICATION OF NEEDING ONE. 
          WE GOT PERMISSION FROM DR. 
          ASCOT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AS WELL. 
          UH, INITIALLY CDC GUIDANCE CAME OUT ON MAY 3RD INDICATING THAT TESTING RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS, UH, WHO WERE ASYMPTOMATIC WAS APPROPRIATE. 
          UNFORTUNATELY, THE CDC ON THEIR WEBSITE, AS OF MAY SIX, REMOVED THAT DIRECTION, UH, TALKING ABOUT EQUITY AS AN ISSUE, WE'RE STILL NOT CLEAR TODAY, WHY CDC PULLED THAT. 
          UM, UM, WHEN YOU GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE POSITIVITY RATE FOR OUR LATINO POPULATION, THOUGH, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT BY WEEK, WHEN WE LOOK AT 
          [01:45:01]
OVERALL LAST WEEK AT 20.6, 6%, FOR THOSE WE TESTED, UM, WHEN WE LOOK AT IT FOR OUR LATINO POPULATION, ONLY IT'S SITTING AT 26.05%. 
          AND SO THIS IS CONSISTENTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING, UH, BOTH THROUGH VARIOUS DIFFERENT FORMS AND SHARING INFORMATION THAT IN TERMS OF OUR TESTING OVERALL, WE'VE SEEN A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF POSITIVITIES COMING BACK FOR LATIN X POPULATION. 
          UH, AND THE TREND HAS BEEN HOLDING NOW FOR ABOUT 10 WEEKS. 
          UH, WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION, UH, WE SEE THE TREND FOUR WEEKS AGO WAS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER AND IT CAME DOWN A LITTLE BIT NOW AS AT 5%, BUT THAT'S A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN WHAT WE'RE SEEING FOR AT LEAST THE FOLKS THAT WERE TESTING, WHO WERE AFRICAN-AMERICAN HERTZ OR LATINOS WITH OUR LATINOS BEING ABOUT FIVE TIMES AS HIGH, OUR WHITE NON-LATINO POPULATION IS HERE AS WELL. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN, UH, AFRICAN AMERICAN PATIENTS THAT WE'VE TESTED OR INDIVIDUALS WE'VE TESTED AND THEN ASIAN, AND WE'VE ONLY TESTED, AND THIS IS A VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE OVERALL, BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR TESTS ARE BEING PERFORMED TWO AND FOUR, UH, WHITE, UH, UH, LATINOS AND LATINOS OF ALL ETHNICITIES. 
          AFRICAN-AMERICANS THE REAL NUMBER. 
          FEAR OF ASIANS HAS BEEN VERY LOW FOR US. 
          IT'S BEEN LESS THAN 120, UH, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE LAST THREE WEEKS, WE'VE HAD A ZERO POSITIVITY RATE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM. 
          YOU CAN SEE A GAIN CONTROLLING. 
          I GO TO LATINO HERE IN THE MIDDLE AND WE GO AHEAD AND CONTROL FOR THE ASYMPTOMATIC NON-EXPOSED, UH, SO THAT WE GET OUR TRUE RUN RATE GOING BACK TO MID-MARCH GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE INTRODUCED THIS EXTRA LAYER OF TESTING, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT FOLLOWING CDC GUIDELINES ALL, ALL THE TIME. 
          AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT, THAT RAISES THE POSITIVITY RATE UP TO 31.4, 2%, AND THEN WE'VE GOT IT BROKEN OUT BY AGE A SURPRISINGLY, UH, OVER THE LAST WEEK OR SO THE HIGHER POSITIVITY RATE WHEN WE BREAK IT BY AGE IS ACTUALLY OUR PEDIATRIC POPULATION, BUT THEY'RE ALSO A SMALLER COHORT OF THE OVERALL FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED. 
          THERE'S ONLY ABOUT 600 KIDDOS THAT WE'VE TESTED AND WE'VE TESTED FROM 18 TO 64. 
          WELL, OVER 7,000 INDIVIDUALS, THE GOOD NEWS IS AS OUR OLDER POPULATION, WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE AT HIGHEST RISK IS ACTUALLY TESTING AT THE LOWEST RATE FROM A POSITIVITY RETURN. 
          AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF POWER IN STATISTICAL DATA THAT I'M SHOWING HERE THAT WE'RE SHOWING IS COMMUNITY CARE TO MAKE THIS INTERACTIVE, THOUGH, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'RE ALSO SHOWING AS OF DATA FROM LAST NIGHT, YOU'RE SEEING ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS AN INTERACTIVE MAP OF ALL ZIP CODES. 
          YOU CAN ZOOM IN ZOOM OUT. 
          THIS IS OF COURSE TRAVIS COUNTY, WHERE WE'RE FOCUSED AUSTIN IN PARTICULAR. 
          SO I'M GOING TO GO TO ZIP CODE 78 SEVEN FIVE THREE, WHICH IS IN THE RUNDBERG AREA. 
          YOU CLICK ON THAT PARTICULAR ZIP CODE. 
          YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT ZIP CODE HAS AN OVERALL POSITIVITY RATE RIGHT NOW IF 28 AND A HALF PERCENT. 
          AND WE'VE PROVIDED ALMOST 900 TESTS THERE. 
          AND YOU CAN, THE BLUE STARS HERE THAT ARE REPRESENTED ON THE MAP OR OUR TESTING SITES. 
          SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND CLICK ON THAT. 
          SEE WHERE THE SITE IS. 
          I CLICKED ON OUR MEANER SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SITE. 
          IT'S OPEN ON WEDNESDAYS FROM NINE TO FOUR. 
          IT'S A DRIVE THROUGH SITES. 
          OUR HANCOCK IS SIX DAYS A WEEK. 
          MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAYS, HOURS ARE LOCATED THERE. 
          AND THE ADDRESS IS THERE AS WELL. 
          THIS OTHER ONE GETS INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AND IT COMES TO BRIAN'S COMMENT AS IT RELATES TO LOOKING AT THE DATA TO FORM WE'RE TESTING SHOULD GO. 
          AND SO WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT, RATHER THAN PROVIDE ALL OF THE ZIP CODES WE'VE ON THIS PARTICULAR GRAPHIC WE'RE INSULATING AND ISOLATING JUST THE TOP 20 SIP CODES THAT WE'VE PROVIDED TESTS IN, WHERE WE'VE SEEN POSITIVE RESULTS COME BACK. 
          SO THESE ARE OUR TOP 20 RELATIVE TO POSITIVITY RESULTS. 
          AGAIN, IF YOU CLICK ON THE RUNDBERG ZIP CODE, 78 SEVEN FIVE THREE, THERE'S MORE INFORMATION HERE. 
          IT GIVES YOU THE OVERALL, UH, POSITIVITY RATE. 
          YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS FROM A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. 
          SO THE PREVIOUS GRAPHIC SAID WE WERE ALMOST 900 TESTS FROM THAT ZIP CODE. 
          THIS IS THROUGH JUNE 8TH, THIS'LL BE UPDATED THROUGH YESTERDAY'S DATA LATER TODAY. 
          UM, SO FOR RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, IT'S GOING TO SHOW A LITTLE BIT LESS NUMBERS TESTED. 
          UH, BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS TO NOTE THAT THERE'S ADDITIONAL DATA WHERE WE'VE RANKED IT IN TERMS OF PENETRATION, UH, FROM A, A TEST PER THOUSAND BASIS. 
          AND THIS IS TO NORMALIZE IN TERMS OF HOW SUCCESSFUL WE ARE. 
          AND WE ARE AS A COMMUNITY NOW, COMMUNITY CARE, GETTING TO TEST AT A VERY, UH, GRANULAR LEVEL, LOOKING AT PENETRATION WITHIN A PARTICULAR ZIP CODE. 
          SO FOR US, WE ALWAYS WANT TO LOOK AT LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS. 
          THIS IS AS DEFINED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, LESS THAN 200%. 
          AND SO IN THIS ZIP CODE, WE'RE SITTING AT 27.24 
          [01:50:01]
INDIVIDUALS TESTED AS OF TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK IN THAT ZIP CODE. 
          UM, YOU CAN SEE THE OVERALL POPULATION AND THEN THE TOTAL POPULATION BY, BASED ON THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA HAS PUT DOWN OUT THEN AT THE BOTTOM. 
          SO IT GIVES US A TOTAL LOW INCOME RANK OF NINE. 
          SO OUT OF THE TOP 20 IT'S CITY IN, IN THIRD IN TERMS OF POSITIVITY, BUT WE'RE TESTING IT OUT OF THE TOP 20 ZIP CODES WE'VE GOT AT THE LOW INCOME POPULATION. 
          WE'VE GOT IT AT IT'S RANKED AS NINE. 
          IF I GO TO AUSTIN'S COLONY HORN SPEED, BEN, UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT RANK IN TERMS OF OVERALL LOW INCOME, UH, PENETRATION IS SITTING NOW AT 12 OVERALL. 
          UH, WHEN WE START WORKING AT THE PENETRATION IN TOTAL NUMBER OF TESTS THAT HAVE BEEN PERFORMED COLONY PARK, UH, IS FAIRING A LITTLE BETTER, BETTER WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT THE POPULATIONS BEING SERVED, UH, PER CAPITA TESTING, LOW INCOME IS SITTING AT THREE OUT OF THE TOP 20. 
          AND SO WE'RE USING THIS AS A BAROMETER SAY, ARE WE GETTING TO COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE KNOWN EQUITY ISSUES THAT ARE LONGSTANDING, THAT ARE REPRESENTATIVE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, AS WELL AS TAKING LOOK AT HOW DO WE TWEAK WHAT WE'RE DOING? AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, UH, VARIOUS DIFFERENT PARTNERS, INCLUDING AUSTIN PUBLIC HEALTH, IS WHAT LEVEL OF SATURATION DO WE NEED TO GET TO WITHIN A PARTICULAR ZIP CODE TO REALLY FEEL LIKE WE'VE DONE ADEQUATE TESTING, ESPECIALLY WITHIN LOW INCOME. 
          I GUESS THAT 200 INDIVIDUALS PER THOUSAND, WHO ARE LOW INCOME IS THAT 400. 
          AND WHEN YOU WORKED NATIONALLY, THERE ARE NO ANSWERS LIKE THAT, THAT ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. 
          SO I'M GOING TO SWITCH BACK VERY QUICKLY TO THE SLIDE UP IN JUST A MOMENT. 
          YEAH, I'LL PAUSE HERE. 
          I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THAT. 
          SO LET ME PAUSE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE END HERE, BUT, UM, I DID WANT TO GIVE A LOUISE A COMMUNICAL CARE CHANCE TO SHARE SOME OF THEM HEARING INFORMATION AND SEE IF WE HAVE TIME TO HAVE DIALOGUE AROUND THIS. 
          SORRY TO CUT YOU OFF. 
          SORRY TO, UM, BUT I THINK IT'S VERY, VERY GOOD INFORMATION. 
          IT GIVES US A REALLY GREAT PERSPECTIVE. 
          I'VE, I'VE GOTTEN IN, PLAYED WITH THAT, UH, DASHBOARD THAT Y'ALL HAVE DEVELOPED IT ACTUALLY, IT'S A GREAT TOOL. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          SO MAKING ALL THAT DATA AVAILABLE AND THEN THE TRANSPARENCY. 
          SO, UH, BUT LOUISA, I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME, BUT, UH, I KNOW THAT, UH, IN OUR CALLS WITH CRT AND OTHER MEETINGS, UH, BASICALLY MENTAL HEALTH DOES COME UP. 
          SO I DIDN'T WANT TO KIND OF MAKE SURE WE HAD A CHANCE TO MMM. 
          KIND OF DELVE INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND IT MIGHT BE THAT WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO THAT. 
          MMM, GO AHEAD. 
          IF YOU HAVE, YEAH. 
          THERE'S SOME INFORMATION TO SHARE YOU. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING ME. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          I'M LOUISE LUNCH. 
          I'M THE PROVIDER NETWORK AUTHORITY OFFICER AT ANDREW VOCARE. 
          AND I'M HERE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO REALLY FAST. 
          MMM. 
          WE SERVE BASICALLY THE SAME POPULATIONS, YOU KNOW, 200% OF POVERTY, MEDICAID, AND UNINSURED. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S STRIKING ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE HEARD TODAY IS HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS HAVE MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS AND ALSO HAVE CHRONIC PHYSICAL CONDITIONS. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON. 
          THE, THE POPULATION OF INTERVAL CARE, 36% OF THEM HAVE, UM, COMORBID MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND THOSE WHO ARE PRIMARILY SUBSTANCE USE, HOW ARE THERE ARE 44% THAT ALSO HAVE COMPLICATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS? NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID RECENTLY WAS WE LOOKED AT A MODEL, UH, COVID 19 VULNERABILITY INDEX MODEL, AND LOOK AT CERTAIN FACTORS LIKE AGE, UM, SEX, UM, THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZATIONS THAT INDIVIDUALS HAD TO LOOK AT WHAT THEIR RISK FACTORS WERE. 
          AND JUST LIKE THE DATA THAT WE'VE SEEN TODAY, AFRICAN AMERICANS, HISPANICS, LATIN X, AND ALSO AMERICAN INDIANS, OR THE FIRST PEOPLE WERE AT GREATEST RISK. 
          NOW THEY WERE AT GREATEST RISK FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. 
          IT'S INTERESTING THAT WHEN WE LOOKED AT OUR HISPANIC, LATIN X POPULATION, BECAUSE WE SERVE SO MANY KIDS, UM, WE WEREN'T THE ACTUAL DURING THE VULNERABILITY RATE WAS LOWER, BUT WE KNOW WE TOOK THOSE KIDS OUT. 
          WE WOULD SEE A HIGHER RISK FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE HISPANIC, LATIN NEXT FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS. 
          MOST OF THE CURRENT CONCERNS 
          [01:55:01]
WERE AROUND, UH, MEDICAL CONDITIONS, LIKE, UH, NOT ONLY WERE MANY OF THEM. 
          MMM. 
          WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE THOUGHT THE TOP 5% OF THE ONES THAT WERE MOST AT RISK, THEY, UH, THE AFRICAN AMERICANS HAD, UM, DIAGNOSIS OF, UM, SCHIZOPHRENIA, TRAUMA HISTORIES, UM, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, SOME TOBACCO USE. 
          UM, AND, UH, WE WERE LOOKING AT DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION WITH, UM, THE AMERICAN INDIAN OR FIRST PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT THE, UM, THE, UH, MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS ALONG WITH SUBSTANCE USE AS THE PRIMARY ISSUE RELATED TO THEIR RISK OR VULNERABILITY. 
          UM, UH COVID-19 MMM. 
          WE, WE FELT LIKE THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING WITH INDIVIDUALS AND WHAT WE SAW WAS, AND THAT'S EVIDENCE IN SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE SAW HERE, BUT THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE AT GREATEST RISK LIVED IN SIX OF THE 10 ZIP CODES, WHERE THERE IS, UH, DISPARITIES IN TERMS OF INCOME. 
          AND SO THEY LIVED IN THE, SOME OF THE POOREST AREAS AND SO ACCESS TO THOSE THINGS THAT WE CONSIDER IMPORTANT THAT OUR SOCIAL DRIVERS OF HEALTH, LIKE HOUSING AND A GOOD FOOD MMM. 
          AND HELL, UM, OR ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE ARE THE THINGS THAT DRIVE SOME OF THIS VULNERABILITY SINCE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO, UM, SPEAK TO IN PARTICULAR. 
          AND THAT WAS THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE IDENTIFIED AND THAT OUR COMMUNITY COULD RALLY AROUND ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING SERVED, WHO ARE HOMELESS AT THE PRO LODGES, AND THAT HAVE COMPROMISED HEALTH CONDITIONS. 
          AND HOW'S THING OF COURSE, IS SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS REALLY MMM. 
          INVOLVED IN, INTERESTED IN AND HAS MADE A COMMITMENT TO. 
          AND SO WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN SEEING WHERE DO WE GO NEXT WITH SOME OF THE SUPPORTS THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS NEED UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS THAT COULD BE IDENTIFIED AS THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE UNDOCUMENTED, UM, ALSO, UH, REFUGEES, UM, AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED THAT HAVE INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. 
          SOME OF THE COVID POSITIVE INDIVIDUALS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ENGAGED WITH LIVE IN SOME OF THE GROUP HOMES THAT ARE IN, IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS NURSING HOMES. 
          SO WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THOSE, THOSE THINGS AS AREAS THAT MAYBE WE CAN FOCUS ON AS A COMMUNITY, AND THEN IN ORDER TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE GAPS AROUND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH MMM. 
          THAT'S ONE AREA IN WHICH, MMM, THOSE AREAS AREN'T NECESSARILY, UM, VERY WELL FUNDED AND THE COMMUNITY, UM, THOSE THINGS THAT CAN PREVENT HEALTH CONDITIONS. 
          SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO IS WRAP AROUND SUPPORT SUCH AS DIETARY FOR INDIVIDUALS, UM, HAVING ACCESS TO A DIETICIAN, THOSE THINGS THAT CAN HELP THEM LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES, AND ALSO CONNECTING THEM TO PHYSICAL WELL CARE OR PROVIDING THAT DIRECTLY WHERE INDIVIDUALS MAY NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR MEDICAL NEEDS WHEN THEY'RE SO CONSUMED OR BEING ATTENDED TO THEIR PSYCHIATRIC NEEDS. 
          I KNOW THAT WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. 
          AND SO TO RESPECT YOUR TIME, UNLESS THERE'S QUESTIONS, I'M, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OF THOSE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          ALL OF YOU FOR SPEAKING, UM, LOUISE, I'M SORRY FOR NOT MANAGING THIS MEETING BETTER AND LETTING YOUR, YOUR TIME BE THE TIME THAT GETS CUT OFF. 
          I WILL DO A BETTER JOB IN THE FUTURE. 
          I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, I, I PERSONALLY CAN STAY ON ANOTHER 10 OR 15 MINUTES. 
          AND SO, UM, IF YOU CAN'T, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT I AM WILLING TO STAY ON A LITTLE BIT LONGER. 
          SO IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, UM, USE YOUR LITTLE RAISE HAND BUTTON, UM, I'M NOT SEEING ANY RAISED HANDS, UH, SUCHI, DO YOU WANT TO, I DON'T, I DON'T SEE MY BUTTONS. 
          I'M JUST RAISING MY HEAD. 
          NOW. 
          I WANT TO SAY THIS, UH, OVERALL CONVERSATION HAS BEEN SO USEFUL BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE ALL IN OUR SPACES, UM, OKAY. 
          UH, THINK ABOUT THESE ISSUES OF THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND THAT 
          [02:00:01]
SORT OF THING, BUT I'M GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SPOKEN TODAY AND EVERYBODY WHO'S WORKING HERE TODAY ABOUT BRINGING THAT VERBIAGE TO THE MAINSTREAM AND TO ENSURING THAT OUR, OUR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HEALTHCARE ALSO ARE IMBUED WITH THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT EQUITY.

          SO THAT WE CAN ALSO SHARE THAT, UM, WITH THE WAY WE NORMALLY SHARE OUT OUR PRESENTATIONS. 
          UM, AND ADRIAN, I DO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE YOU CHIME IN AS WELL, BUT I KNOW YOU AND JASON AND BRIAN CAN BE CO PRESENT A LOT. 
          AND THAT THE MAIN THING IS, YOU KNOW, IS, YOU KNOW, THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISPARITIES. 
          AND OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF THAT AND I'M ON TOP OF IT. 
          AND, UM, AND IF THERE ARE THINGS YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT WAYS TO HELP, YOU KNOW, ANY OF THE PRESENTERS, PLEASE FORWARD THAT ALONG. 
          WE HAVE AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING NEXT WEEK, AND WE CAN SHARE THAT SINCE WE DIDN'T GET TO HAVE THAT DIALOGUE.

          HAPPY TO BE HERE. 
          EXCELLENT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE WAY ON NORA, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION, HAD A COMMENT. 
          I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT DR. 
          FORNEY AND ANY NUMBER OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS HERE ON A REGULAR BASIS ARE MAKING PRESENTATIONS ABOUT THIS AND THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND I KNOW HOW MUCH TIME OF YOUR TIME THAT IT TAKES TO BE INFORMING US, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE TIME THAT YOU ARE PUTTING INTO THESE NUMBERS TO ANALYZING THE COMMUNITY AND TO MAKING PRESENTATIONS REALLY MANY TIMES IN ONE WEEK AND DEFINITELY SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY. 
          AND YOU'RE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED RUDY. 
          YEAH. 
          JIMMY, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT I WANT TO ADD ONTO WHAT NORA JUST SAID, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK HAS BEEN VERY IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THROUGH THE PANDEMIC, UM, WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH OUR COUNTRY, WITH, YOU KNOW, 
          [02:05:01]
RACIAL ISSUES AND REVISIONS, AND FRANKLY WITH DEPENDED DEMIC WOVEN UP AGAIN, IT'S THAT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT YOU HAVE AROUND HERE, JIMMY, JEFF, MYSELF, OUR COUNCILS, OUR MEMBERS FROM THE CITY COUNTY STATE LEVEL, WE TALK ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          AND WHEN WE GET INFORMATION THAT CAN BE ACTIONABLE AND WORKED ON LIKE WE HAVE TODAY, THAT MAKES SOME DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT RESOURCES WE CAN ALLOCATE. 
          ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONVERSATIONS RIGHT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE REALLOCATION OF RESOURCES TO BETTER FIT OUR COMMUNITY IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS. 
          AND IF WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE, YOU KNOW, I'LL BE BLUNT WITH YOU WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK AND BROWN ISSUES IN OUR REGION. 
          AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE DOING REGARDING, YOU KNOW, EXPANSION OF MEDICAID. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING REGARDING DRUG ABUSE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING TO REHAB THAT, WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ILLNESS AND WRAPAROUND RESOURCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THESE PRESENTATIONS, WE SHOULD GO BACK AND WHEN WE'RE MAKING OUR BUDGETS, CAUSE WE'RE IN BUDGET SEASON RIGHT NOW, WE CAN SAY, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. 
          THIS IS WHY WE WANT TO REALLOCATE THIS FROM HERE. 
          YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT. 
          YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE VERY FINITE AMOUNT OF PIES, BUT WE WANT TO DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALLOCATE OUR RESOURCES TO MAKE THE BIGGEST LEVERAGE ONCE WE CAN IN OUR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. 
          SO GREAT JOB, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANKS REALLY. 
          I JUST WANT TO END WITH ONE THING. 
          UM, IT'S BEEN AN INTENSE COUPLE OF WEEKS, CERTAINLY ON THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          AND I WANT TO JUST CREATE A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE. 
          YOU KNOW, I'M WILLING TO GIVE US ANOTHER 10 MINUTES FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO STAY FOR ANYONE THAT FEELS COMPELLED TO COMMENT OR SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS OF WHAT THE LAST TWO WEEKS HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY, I'M TALKING ABOUT BLACK LIVES MATTER AND POLICE REFORM AND DEFUNDING OF POLICE AND ALL OF THAT STUFF. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF EMOTIONAL LABOR AND VOLUNTEER AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANYONE FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO SPEAK, BUT I JUST WANTED TO CREATE A LITTLE SPACE FOR THOSE WHO WANTED TO, UM, JIMMY, I WILL, I WILL SPEAK UP AND SAY, BECAUSE THERE, IT HAS BEEN A LOT AS IF IT WASN'T ALREADY A LOT GOING ON. 
          UM, AND IT HAS BEEN A LOT. 
          AND I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES WITH HAVING A LOT OF PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS AND ENGAGING A LOT. 
          I MEAN, ANYTIME I HAVE MY 18 YEAR OLD TELLING ME, MOM, YOU NEED TO PULL BACK. 
          I MEAN LIKE THAT'S HOW INTENSE IT'S BEEN. 
          AND SO, UM, I, MY ENCOURAGEMENT AND THE THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN TELLING FOLKS ON BOTH SIDES IS EXTEND EVERYONE A LITTLE BIT OF GRACE. 
          UM, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          THERE ARE FOLKS WHO REALLY CARE WHO ARE TRYING AND ARE, ARE LEARNING AND THEY'RE GONNA MAKE MISTAKES, GIVE THEM GRACE BECAUSE IT THAT'S WHAT'S NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR THOSE OF US ON THE RECEIVING END OF TRYING TO SAY, WELL, HOW CAN I HELP? AND WHAT CAN I DO? AND ALL OF THIS KIND OF STUFF, GIVE US A LITTLE GRACE. 
          UM, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I KNOW FOR ME, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ON THE BOARD. 
          NO, IT'S NOT JUST ME. 
          I'M TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, WORK THROUGH THE ISSUES OF AN 18 YEAR OLD WHO GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL AS A 14 YEAR OLD BOY. 
          AND CAN I LET HIM RIDE HIS BIKE OR DOWN THE STREET WITH OUT, UM, WITHOUT BEING A TARGET. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE VERY REAL. 
          UM, I KNOW MYSELF, UH, Y'ALL MAY NOT BELIEVE IT. 
          I EDIT MYSELF A LOT. 
          I'M NOT EDITING ANYMORE. 
          AND SOME OF Y'ALL ARE LIKE, OH MY GOD. 
          BUT YEAH. 
          SO BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW. 
          AND SO I HAVE NOT BEEN EDITING, UM, AND SEVERAL OF MY PROFESSIONAL SEARCH CIRCLES AND, UH, YEAH, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING. 
          AND I, I ASKED FOR EVERYONE TO PROVIDE THAT GRACE PROVIDE THAT SPACE FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE, BECAUSE THERE ARE FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO LEARN BECAUSE THEY DO EXIST, DO NOT WASTE YOUR ENERGY, THEIR WASTE, YOUR, YOU KNOW, USE YOUR ENERGY WISELY BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME FOLKS WHO IT DOESN'T MATTER. 
          THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED AND LEARNING RIGHT NOW. 
          THAT IS THEIR PREROGATIVE. 
          MOVE ON, CONSERVE YOUR ENERGY AND USE IT WHERE IT CAN BE BEST UTILIZED RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH GOING ON IN OUR WORLD TO BE WASTING YOUR BREASTS ON PEOPLE WHO WOULD MUCH RATHER UNDERMINE WHAT IT IS YOU'RE DOING AND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE THEN TO SUPPORT IT. 
          THAT'S ME AND EDIT IT TODAY. 
          THANKS. 
          Y'ALL WE LOVE IT. 
          WE LOVE THE UNEDITED. 
          LOVE THE UNEDITED, PATRICIA, ANYONE ELSE? WELL, UM, THANK YOU ALL. 
          I, UH, OH, I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE CAPACITY TO BE EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT. 
          CAUSE I HAVE CRIED 
          [02:10:01]
A LOT MYSELF OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS. 
          UM, DAMMIT. 
          I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT IT'S NOT FEEL COMING, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT, NOT GOING TO DO IT. 
          UM, I'LL JUST SAY THIS, UM, FEEL FREE TO SEND YOUR WHITE PEOPLE TO ME. 
          IF THEY NEED SOME WHITE PEOPLE WHISPERING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. 
          MY EMOTIONAL LABOR IS THAT, AND I WILL DO IT WITH A SMILE. 
          PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY. 
          AND IF YOU ALL WANT TO, IF YOU HAVE GROUPS OR CONVENINGS WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE, UH, HAVING A COUNCIL MEMBER IN AND SPEAK WOULD BE GOOD, SPECIFICALLY CHAMBERS, THAT'S MY JAM. 
          THAT'S WHERE I CAME FROM. 
          SO I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK TO CHAMBERS IF YOU GUYS WANT TO PULL ZOOM CALLS TOGETHER AND UM, AND ULTIMATELY Y'ALL SEND YOUR LOVE TO, TO NATASHA. 
          IT'S JUST AN IMPOSSIBLE ASK TO BE THE ONE BLACK COUNCIL MEMBER ON THIS COUNCIL AT THIS TIME. 
          AND, AND SHE DON'T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY. 
          IT'S UNDER YOUR LOVE AND ASK OTHERS TO SEND HER. 
          THEY'RE LOVED BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANY OF US TO PRETEND THAT THE VOTES ARE THERE IN, IN AUGUST WHERE THE REAL WORK HAPPENS FOR THE COUNCIL, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS, I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER REPEAT BECAUSE THEY MADE ME SO ANGRY AND BROUGHT ME TO SO MANY TEARS. 
          WE WILL NOT, I WILL NOT LIE TO YOU AND PRETEND THAT THE BOATS ARE GOING TO BE THERE. 
          SO THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK LEFT TO DO. 
          EVEN AMONGST THE FOLKS WHO WE THINK ARE ON OUR SIDE. 
          I AM, I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU AND THE CONTINUED HONOR. 
          IT IS TO BE THE CHAIR OF THIS BOARD IN THIS TIME AND, AND PATRICIA TO USE SPECIFICALLY, THANKS FOR YOUR TRUST IN ASKING ME TO TAKE THIS POSITION, UH, WITH NEITHER OF US KNOWING HOW, HOW, HOW IMPORTANT IT WOULD BE IN THIS MOMENT. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. 
          WE'RE 15 MINUTES OVER. 
          I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE REST OF YOUR DAY BACK. 
          YES, I DID. 
          YOU KNOW, JUST TO END ON A HOPEFUL NOTE, I WANT TO THANK SIMONE. 
          SHE ALLOWED ME TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR DAILY DOSE OF HOPE. 
          SO YEAH, IF YOU CARE TO READ MY CONTRIBUTION TO  DAILY DOSE OF HOPE, IT'S IN THE CHAT. 
          IF YOU WANT TO. 
          MMM. 
          CHECK IT OUT. 
          AND UH, AND IF YOU'RE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO DAILY, THOSE OF HOPE BY RECOMMENDED. 
          CAUSE IT'S NOT A, IT'S A GREAT WAY TO START THE DAY. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU ALL.
