(WJAR) A 12-year-old Portsmouth boy who spent the last few years growing out his hair for kids with cancer, and being bullied for it, will soon cut it.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Antone Silvia, who goes by "A.J.", has had long hair for most of his life.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>A 12-year-old Portsmouth boy has spent the last few years growing out his hair for kids with cancer. (WJAR)</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In the fifth grade, his aunt, who is a hairdresser, suggested he cut it and donate it to kids with cancer.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Promoted Links</p>\n<p>Gronk's Favorite "Dressy" Shoes Feel Like Walking On Clouds</p>\n<p>Wolf & Shepherd</p>\n<p>Silvia agreed to do so.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Roughly 12 inches was donated to the charity, "Wigs for Kids."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>SHOW US SOMETHING GOOD: Community rallies behind Tiverton football coach who underwent heart transplant</p>\n<p>The organization helps children suffering from cancer, alopecia and other forms of hair loss.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>When I donated it, it made me feel really happy that I was doing something good and making someone really happy, so I decided to do it again," said Silvia. I decided as soon as I got my haircut that I wanted to do it again. Im sure it makes them extremely happy and grateful that they have a beautiful head of hair."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Silvia said the maintenance to keep his hair long has been somewhat of a struggle, but it's worth it to know kids with cancer will benefit from it.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Anton "A.J." Silvia of Portsmouth brushes his hair, which he's growing out to donate to kids with cancer. (WJAR)</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I have to brush it every time I wake up, and before I go to bed, and every time I get out of the shower, in the shower I have to shampoo my hair and condition it," he said. "It's a lot."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>At the time of his first donation, he had been attending elementary school and he said his classmates never really made any comments about it.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>When he got to middle school, things changed.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>He's currently in the eighth grade and hasn't had a haircut in about three years.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In order to donate it, it needs to be a certain length.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I got a little bullied in the first two months of eighth grade but it died down, no ones giving me any problems anymore," he said. I remember some time in seventh grade I was actually considering just getting a haircut and not donating again because of how much I was getting bullied, but I decided to keep doing it because I knew if I did that, I would be being selfish and I didnt want to do that."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Anton "A.J." Silvia of Portsmouth is growing out his hair to donate to kids with childhood cancer. (WJAR)</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>NBC 10 asked Silvia how that would be "selfish."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>"Because I wouldve been stopping the struggle for myself and forgetting about the kids who struggle every day with no hair themselves," he said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>His family helped him stick to the decision to grow out his hair.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>It was awful because I dont want my child getting teased or tormented," said A.J.'s mom, Elizabeth Gagnon. "There were days when he would come off the school bus crying and it hurt me as his mom to see him going through that. At that moment when he was doubting if he was going to cut it and he was like, 'Im just going to cut it, I cant handle getting teased all the time for my hair, Im just going to cut it,' I encouraged him like, 'Youre doing a really good thing, if you stick with it then I promise to cut my hair too.'"</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>SHOW US SOMETHING GOOD: Wakefield's Jayd Bun receives best review, honored with Lego display from cute customers</p>\n<p>Gagnon said she's always loved having long hair.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>A.J.'s dad had long hair, and she's typically always kept hers longer than shoulder-length.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Even though it would be a big change for me, too, I said, 'Ill do it if you commit to keeping your hair long and seeing this through, then I will commit with you and Ill cut my hair off too,'" said Gagnon.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Silvia said at times he would try to explain to his classmates why he was growing his hair, but many wouldn't listen.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>A.J. Silvia is hosting a community hair drive at Stef's Salon and Spa located at 14 Potomac Road in Portsmouth on March 4. (WJAR)</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>That's when Gagnon said she posted to her town's Facebook page.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I tried to get the word out there like, hes doing this for a good reason, and it would be really nice if he would stop getting teased for it and thats what kind of sparked this whole idea," said Gagnon. We got such a great response from other community members, praising him for his courage and bravery and selflessness and doing such a good deed for others in the face of adversity."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>A.J.'s hair is currently at the donation length.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>He was planning to donate it in March and decided to extend the offer to anyone else looking to do so.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>On March 4, A.J. is hosting a community hair drive at Stef's Salon and Spa located at 14 Potomac Road in Portsmouth.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>From 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., by appointment, the salon is offering free haircuts for those with 8 inches or more, who are willing to donate their hair to benefit Wigs For Kids.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>A.J. Silvia is hosting a community hair drive at Stef's Salon and Spa located at 14 Potomac Road in Portsmouth on March 4. (WJAR)</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Currently, about seven people have signed up to donate their locks.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>For every hair cut, about two wigs are made.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Even if its a small difference at least were helping to make a difference in someones life," Gagnon said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Silvia plays basketball and takes mixed martial arts classes.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>His dream is to become a member of the United States Navy, to continue helping others.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>'I'm excited to cut my hair, it is definitely going to be a big change," he said. I just wanted more children that have no hair to get hair and be happy."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Station Notes/Scripts:</p>\n<p>Every day, like clockwork, 12 year old AJ Sylvia has to take care of his head of hair, I have to brush it every time I wake up and before I go to bed with locks this long.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The process can push your patients.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Do you enjoy doing that?</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Uh not really, but it's because of his end goal that these few extra minutes of getting ready are worthwhile.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I just wanted more Children that have no hair to get hair about four years ago, his hair was just as long in elementary school, so he decided to chop it off and donate his 12" to wigs for kids to support those with cancer.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>It made me feel really happy that I was doing something good and making someone really happy.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>So I decided to do it again with high hopes for his hair heading into middle school with what he thought would be something positive turned into two years of torment and bullying.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>There were days when he'd come off the school bus like crying and it just really hurt me as his mom to see him going through that some kids couldn't accept or understand why a boy would want their hair so long.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Sometime in the seventh grade, I was actually considering just getting a haircut and not donating it again because of how much I was getting bullied, but I decided to keep doing it because like I knew that if I did that I would be being selfish, Elizabeth Magnin says it was at that moment, she made a promise to her son and I kind of encouraged him, like you're doing a really good thing, you know, like if you stick with it then I promised to cut my hair too, but she couldn't keep quiet.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>So she posted in her local community facebook pages about her son's ongoing efforts to kind of get the word out there.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Like look, he's doing this for a good reason and it would be really nice if you would stop getting teased for it.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The responses were overwhelmingly positive as people praised him for his patients.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>That's when a J decided to offer an opportunity to others to get their haircuts for free at Steph salon so it can be donated alongside his.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>It's a small difference.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>At least we're helping to make a difference in somebody's lives.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>So far.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Seven people have pledged to alter their appearance.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>AJ says choosing to wait is beyond worthwhile.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Why would that have been selfish?</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Because I would have just been like stopping the struggle for myself and forgetting about the kids who struggle every day with no hair themselves, showing you something good.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>I'm sam reed</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--SUPERS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--VIDEO SHOWS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--VO SCRIPT</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--LEAD IN</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--SOT</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--TAG</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----</b></p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--KEYWORD TAGS--</b></p>\n<p>RHODE ISLAND PORTSMOUTH ANTONE SILVIA AJ WIGS FOR KIDS HAIR DONATION</p>

Isleworth, Middlesex. <br/> <br/>M/S of a woman reading magazine. She is leaning over sink in front of a mirror. She is obviously waiting to have her hair done. A man comes from behind and starts cutting her hair. M/S of the girl's face - lovely face. A woman comes and wraps towel around the girl's neck and shoulders. Elderly man comes and starts combing the girl's hair. The man starts fiddling with several switches on the wall. <br/> <br/>This is a research centre in Isleworth, Middlesex, where scientists are studying the hair and examining the effects of different kinds of shampoo on different hairs in effort to improve the existing shampoos. High angle M/S of the girl's hair being washed. M/S of the other girl (an assistant) giving a little glass jar with shampoo to the man. High angle C/U shot of one half of the girl's hair being washed with the shampoo. The other half is washed with different shampoo. Voiceover claims the difference is considerable. <br/> <br/>L/S of a laboratory with several people in white coats working. C/U shot of a man looking through a microscope. Then he takes hair samples and looks at them. Cut back to a girl with her hair washed. C/U shot of the girl's face as the man dries her hair with towel. He combs her hair and another man comes and inspects it. M/S of the girl's hair being brushed. Hair on one side of her head is up while hair on the other side is down. The reason, different levels of static electricity - claims voiceover. C/U shots of the static gun measuring the electricity levels on each side of the girl's head. M/S of a girl operating 'hair stretching machine'. C/U shot of a hair diagram being drawn. C/U shot of a single hair being stretched in some kind of a glass container. M/S of the girl's head (with a new hairstyle) being photographed. C/U shot of the girl's new hairstyle from behind. <br/> <br/>Note: Another story from the Research Centre in Isleworth called "Beard Research" can be found in CP 221.

TVU 15 KAMALA HARRIS ATLANTIC CITY NJ OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE ABC UNI 071319 2020 Sen. Kamala Harris mostly stuck to talking points during her remarks at the Omega Psi Phi Leadership convention. However much of her time was spent focused on her lines she's used at majority black events such as National Action Network and NAACP. Although she stuck with talking points, Harris wasn't shy about mentioning race explicitly to the African-American crowd which mostly comprised of members of historic African-American organizations Omega Psi Phi and a few members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and The Links. AKA and Links are two groups Harris is a member of. Attorney Benjamin Crump introduced Harris and announced that has been asked to serve as an advisor on criminal justice issues. Crump served as the attorney for the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. The Senator during her remarks made a reference to New Orleans talking about Hurricane Barry and President Donald Trump's response to hurricanes. Although she didn't explicitly mention Trump's handling of Hurricane Maria, it was nuanced and very specifically targeting race. "Pay attention to what's happening in New Orleans this weekend. Pay attention to which communities will be devastated first, and not have access to clean water and have their communities deteriorate because of this climate crisis. Let's look at that rap sheet. Let's look at the rap sheet when he came in strong man right? Just swinging as powerful around... says he's gonna put America first says he's gonna put America first... Getting carried away." 1528 She explicitly talks about race moments later calling it America's Achilles heel. On yesterday's airing of The Breakfast Club, Harris noted that she felt her campaign had specifically been targeted by Russian bots. "Russia interfered in the election of the President of the United States. Which by the way, which by the way, was a campaign that was about misinformation, targeted on targeted on America's Achilles heel, which is race and focused on black folks." 1529 Near the beginning of her remarks she flubbed the Omega's name twice. First time saying "Osa--" corrects herself and says Omega Psi Phi and then calls the organization "Que Psi Phi," that drew a few comments from the crowd that appeared to be slightly annoyed that she didn't pronounce the frats name correctly. She would later rebound and receive several applauses later within her speech. 1500 Moments later after her flub she took a jab at the members of the media who cover her who aren't familiar with the Divine Nine, a group that comprises of the nine members of The National Pan-Hellenic Council. Two of the nine members of Divine Nine include Omega Psi Phi and Alpha Kappa Alpha. Earlier this year, a reporter tweeted comment about the groups signature "Skee Wee" sounding like screeches which drew criticisms both on and off line. The California Senator took time to mention during her remarks that her candidacy has forced people and to learn more about the black community. "I have tried to explain to folks that, that there are certain aspects of American history that just are not known by the general public. And they have a responsibility to know it. Because it's not only about our history, it's America's history. And so as I've been running in this race, one of the things I've become aware of is the folks who generally cover these elections are not really familiar with the divine nine. And with our life's experiences, and with our sisterhood and Brotherhood's and with the thing that we were raised and learned to do as members of the Divine Nine, which is to live a life of service, to live a life that was about being measured based on your impact on others, and how you lift others up." 1500 Omegas is the first black fraternity founded at a historically black college, Howard University. The first black fraternity however is Alpha Phi Alpha which was founded at Cornell University. Slight yet, notable distinction. Most of her speech stuck close to talking points, She talked about her time as a prosecutor and how she overheard colleagues talking about people in the community that looked like her. She declared to her colleagues "I have family members that dress that way. I got people who live in that neighborhood. And I'm about to date myself, and I have a tape of that music in my car right now... Too Short." That line drew a big laugh from harris and the crowd. Harris has said several times that the rapper Too Short is one of her favorite artists. Another thing I noted was she talked about home ownership and people who were proud of their lawns She's used this a number of times on the campaign trail but I just want to make a quick note on the subject, this is a part of one of the first speeches I ever heard her give back at the 2012 DNC Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Harris routinely sticks to talking points and in this instance she stuck close to what she knows. She talked about standing up to mortgage companies telling executives "have you ever known somebody who was proud of their lawn? Because that's what we're talking about. We're talking about families that understand that their hard work resulted in that homeownership, which represented their dignity, their life savings and their assets."1516 She at one point referred to herself as a top-tier candidate "And so as I stand before you today, as a serious, and as they call it top tier candidate to be the next president of the United States. I will tell you that we have a fight in front of us." 1521 --- 145852 Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I just said to Attorney Crump, I do believe that is the best introduction I have ever received. I do. And the way that you, you know, listen, we've all been following and admiring and praising the work of attorney crump for so long. You have been a voice of conscience, you have been a voice of leadership, you have been a voice of courage, and voice of strength. 145925 And in our country, this is the kind of leadership we need. You are a national leader and you are a dear friend, and I thank you. Can we please hear it for Attorney Ben Crump for that introduction and for your support. I thank you. (?) David Marianne, I thank you for leadership, first vice grand(?), Ricky Lewis. Second vice grand(?), Austin Tatum. And all the members of the supreme council and the members of Omega psi phi Fraternity Incorporated. 150001 (?) psi phi, I thank you. And I was talking to some of my classmates at Howard about all of our days together as members of our respective sororities and fraternities. And you know, you talk about these national elections and these elections for president. And it's interesting. I have tried to explain to folks that there are certain aspects of american history that just are not known by the general public. And they have a responsibility to know it, because it's not only about our history. It's America's history. 150042 And so, as I've been running in this race, one of the things I've become aware of is the folks who generally cover these elections are not really familiar with the Divine Nine and with our life's experiences and with our sisterhoods and brotherhoods. And with the thing that we were raised and learned to do as members of The Divine Nine which is to live a life of service, to live a life that was about being measured based on your impact on others and how you lift others up. 150118 And so when I think back on all that we learned as young adults, many of us who joined our sororities and fraternities in college, we learned at a very young age how we will be judged but also the duty we have on this earth which is to serve and lift others up. And we learned it through fellowship. We learned it because we learned and knew that we should be deep of faith. And that we should always believe in what can be unburdened by what has been. 150153 And so I thank you all, the brothers of Omega psi phi for joining together today to give me this warm welcome and for all that you do as leaders not only in our respective communities but as national leaders so thank you for this warm welcome. And so. As everyone here knows for more than one hundred years after the founding of this prestigious fraternity at my alma mater Howard University you know. [15:00:47] The brothers of Omega sci fi have helped raise generations of leaders who have been committed to the principles of manhood scholarship persistence perseverance and uplift including men like Langston Hughes. Count Basie. Vernon Jordan Reverend Jesse Jackson Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal range in the span of those who have excelled in their various professions. And as the first black fraternity founded at an HBC U. You and the members of this organization and this fraternity have helped shape the history of our country. [15:01:30] And in so doing you have also fought as leaders on the frontlines always in the fight for justice and equality. And it has. It has been your commitment that is grounded in a mantra that you and I know well. [15:01:47] We memorized it early in our lives and that mantra being to see it through. [15:01:53] To see it through. [15:01:57] And we learned. Eyes front. Head high to the finish. See it through. [15:02:14] And so in the 1940s the members of this great fraternity were as front as you protested discrimination in the armed forces. In the 1950s your future members Ernest Green stood head high to integrate Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas. [15:02:41] And for decades after members of this fraternity have been leaders in the fight for equality through sit ins and marches in presidential campaigns and in cabinet rooms. [15:02:55] And that is the commitment of the men of all make a sci fi because of course the principles of manhood scholarship perseverance and uplift require a commitment to the fight for equality. And I think of this fight through the lens of how I was raised. Where I was raised was a community that was committed to the fight for equality I was born in Oakland California as a daughter of the civil rights movement. My sister my and I. We joke that we grew up surrounded by a bunch of adults who spent full time marching and shouting. For this thing called justice. And of course of the many heroes of that great civil rights movement there were the lawyers Thurgood Marshall Charles Hamilton Houston Constance Baker Motley. Those individuals who understood like Attorney Crump the great power. [15:03:57] The power applause. Of the skill of knowing. [15:04:03] And being well versed in the law and how through that skill we can translate the passion from the streets to the courtrooms of America and do the work that must constantly be done of reminding folks of that great promise we articulated in 1776 that we are all equal and should be treated that way. [15:04:29] And so I was raised to admire those heroes and I was raised by the heroes in my own family. Those who inspired me and those who were among the first generation of black lawyers in the Bay Area in California people like my uncle Sherman who many of you most of you I'm sure never heard of him and have never met him but I will tell you about my uncle Sherman. [15:04:56] So my uncle Sherman he was an extraordinary community and neighborhood lawyer. [15:05:03] Michael Sherman was someone who taught me as a little girl that the law can be used in the fight for justice. And he taught me also the importance of thinking strategically. [15:05:16] Michael Sherman helped raise us in a way that said calmly you can be anything you want to be but you gotta be smart. So my uncle Sherman when I was a young girl taught me how to play chess. [15:05:30] Because he said you need to know life is like that chessboard. They're gonna be all kinds of players on that board and they have all kinds of different moves. And he said you have to think strategically you have to learn to think about what that tenth move will be before you make that first move. And he taught me if you're smart that part can take out that King. [15:05:59] And he taught us. [15:06:01] That you have the power if you learn if you educate yourself and if you focus and Michael Sherman was one of those folks also and again Attorney Crump I'm inspired by you to share the story about my uncle Sherman Michael Sherman was that person in our family who whenever somebody had a problem whenever and wherever one was going through something and they didn't know how to deal with it folks would always say we'll call Sherman. Carl Sherman he'll know how to handle this. You'll know how to make sense of it. He'll know how to help. And so then eyes front head high. He always saw everything through the end. And I decided at a young age I wanted to be that person. I wanted to be the person that folks would call when they were in need. That person that could protect people that could help them out that can make sense of what was wrong and fix what was wrong. So after graduating at Howard University I went back home to California to law school and then my family gathered round and they said OK. Kamla So what are you going to do in your fight for justice. And I got all excited and I said to them Well I've decided to become a prosecutor. [15:07:22] Well if you have any sense of who my family is you will know that at best. They found it a curious decision and with some of them I had to defend this decision like one would have theses. [15:07:35] But what I said is I said look do we always and only have to be on the outside. [15:07:43] Trying to change it from the outside banging down the door on bended knee. Can't we always be also thinking about how we can be on the inside where the decisions are being made in a way that we can reform it from that place. And so I decided that's how I wanted to play my role in doing what I was born knowing had to be done around reforming a criminal justice system that needed to be as Attorney Crump said more fair more just and more equitable. And so I became a prosecutor and I became one of the first of a handful of black prosecutors in Alameda County which is in California its base being Oakland California. When I was elected to become a district attorney I was the first black woman elected as you have heard to be a district attorney in a state of 40 million people. [15:08:37] When I was elected. [15:08:40] As district attorney there are only three black elected district attorneys in the entire United States of America. [15:08:52] When I was elected attorney general there was no other black elected attorney general in the United States but I knew. From when I entered that field I knew the unilateral power. [15:09:08] Of discretion that prosecutors have to make decisions about someone else's life or death. The power almost unilateral to determine whether somebody will be charged or let off. The power to decide whether someone will be tried as a juvenile or an adult. The power to determine who gets sent to death row or not. So I knew it mattered who is in those rooms making those decisions and I'll give you just two examples from my career. Of how I know we can make a difference when we work on reforming systems from all sides and all ends. [15:09:54] So a few years after I graduated Howard and then got out of law school and joined the DA's office. It was during the height of the crack epidemic. [15:10:05] And as you may remember in Los Angeles and in California and other places there was there was a lot of gang crime and these legislatures were passing all these gang laws. These enhancements that meant that sentences would be harsher if somebody was affiliated with the gang. And so I'm sitting in my office one day and I could hear folks outside talking about how they plan and to try and figure out how to prove a case. [15:10:31] And they started talking about the way this young man was dressed. And they started talking about the neighborhood in which he was arrested. And they started talking about the music he was listening to. So I stepped out of my office. And I join their conversation and I said Hey guys. So you know this conversation you have. Well let me tell you. I have family members that dress that way. [15:11:02] I got people who live in that neighborhood and I'm about to date myself and I have a tape of that music in my car right now to show it. [15:11:19] Oh yeah. As one example. [15:11:28] Another example. And I have many but I'll share with you this too. Another example is later on when I was elected as district attorney and I'd be sitting in my office this happened so many times I'd be sitting in my office and my receptionist would come and knock on my door and say there's another one at the front window that wants to talk to you. [15:11:50] And what it would be is there would be a lady who would come to the front window and tell the front receptionist I want to talk to Carmela. [15:11:59] No I only want to talk to come. I want to talk to Carmela. Now I hadn't met her before. She said I want to come. [15:12:07] I go to the front window and there she would be a mother. Who had lost her son. And I would take her back in my office. And we would sit down on my couch and she would cry. I would hold her hands. And she would cry and tell me about how nobody was taking her grief seriously. She had lost her baby. Her adult son she had lost her baby. Tragic violence and they were treating that child and that violent incident like a statistic. [15:12:46] And why wasn't anyone tracking down the evidence and why wasn't anyone taking the case seriously and she knew full well that the case that happened on the other side of town they were dedicating all kinds of resources to. [15:13:00] Well why wasn't anyone taking her child's life and the loss of that life seriously. So these are just a couple of examples that I would offer to say it matters who is in the room. It matters that Ben Crump is their. With those that you represent and it matters who is in those other rooms as well making those decisions that have a profound impact on people's life and the dignity of their life. And it matters. I might add who makes the decisions are they somebody that worships with us in the same church in our neighborhood. Are they somebody whose children play with our children in the same little league. Are they somebody who lives in the same community we live in and their children go to the same schools that our children attend. [15:13:55] These things matter. And so when I went inside the system it was about fighting for the people. And there were some tough fights. [15:14:06] As I became attorney general we took on the five big banks in the United States during that foreclosure crisis that devastated homeowners in the United States of America and in particular black homeowners. [15:14:22] And those banks offered us. A couple billion dollars which sounded like a lot of money but then I said Well let me just understand who exactly has been impacted. And I realized they were offering us crumbs on the table. I would sit in rooms with the CEOs and the important people at the banks and they would talk to me about how Oh well don't talk to us about predatory lending practices. Those homeowners are trying to game the system. Those homeowners were cheap and I say no see. And then they would say well you're just trying to take money from our stockholders. I said you trying to take money from my stockholders the homeowners of America. And I'd say look. [15:15:10] You want to talk about people gaming the system so you're not clear about who these homeowners are. [15:15:14] And I would look at them I'll never forget this conversation I looked at this one phone. [15:15:18] I said Have you ever known somebody who was proud of their long. Because that's who we're talking about. [15:15:26] We're talking about families that understand that their hard work resulted in that homeownership which represented their dignity their life's savings and their assets. [15:15:36] And I will not stand in these rooms and have you deprive them of that dignity. [15:15:42] It was about being in the room to take on the pharmaceutical companies that were preying on seniors and selling them a bill of goods about what these medications could do and then charging them to the point that today one in four diabetes patients cannot afford their insulin. [15:16:00] It was about prosecuting transnational criminal organizations that were preying on women and children. Preying on women and children who for most part were vulnerable and needed support but were the perfect prey for predators. [15:16:15] And it was about demanding that we rethink what we're doing in the criminal justice system in a way that we reject the notion that there are only two choices about criminal justice policy one that suggests you're either soft on crime or you're tough on crime. [15:16:32] Instead of asking Are we smart on crime. Instead of asking look you can look at the public health model and it teaches us you want to deal with an epidemic. You want to deal with the harm. [15:16:47] Well the smartest most effective and cheapest way to deal with it is prevention first. If you're dealing with it in the emergency room of the prison system it is too late and it is too expensive. [15:17:01] And so we demanded that we be smart. [15:17:04] We demanded and I demanded of the Department of Justice of California which I ran. Which was the second and is the second largest department of justice in the United States. I was one of the first in the country to say that the special agents who work for that department must wear body cameras and keep them on. [15:17:28] We created the first in the nation. Requirement that there would be training for police officers on implicit racial bias and procedural justice because to deny it exists is to deny folks liberty. And in many cases life. It was about saying. THAT WE'RE GONNA START which we did one of the first reentry initiatives in the United States focused on young adults who had been picked up for selling drugs. Because for so many of them it was their only thought path toward economic health and well-being. And we put them in job training courses and parenting classes and skills development. [15:18:15] And when they graduated dismissed the charges against them. [15:18:18] And I'm a tell you. Well we created this back in 2005. Almost a decade and a half ago I tell you when we created this people would say to me What are you doing. You're a D.A. you're supposed to be locking people up not letting them out. People would say to me why are you giving them jobs. I need a job and I haven't committed a crime. And I would say because we have to be smart and we have to recognize that there are many levers that need to be pulled in a way that we bring justice to a community. [15:18:55] And in a way that we create public safety because it matters who's in the room. [15:19:02] And so at each juncture I definitely tried to live those words which is to take on these fights and see them through. [15:19:12] And I would say don't make a sci fi that right now today. We are at a moment in time. In the history of our country. That is requiring us to look in a mirror and ask a question. As individuals and as a community and that question is Who are we. And I would suggest that part of the answer to that question is we are better than this. [15:19:45] We are better than this. And so. [15:19:51] As I stand before you today as a serious and as they call it top tier candidate to be the next president of the United States. I will tell you. [15:20:07] That we have a fight in front of us and I think we all know the context but I'll lay a little bit of it out. We have a current occupant of the White House. [15:20:19] Who came into office on a campaign that was about Make America Great Again. [15:20:27] Which begs the question again for whom. A current occupant of the White House that I believe begs the question. Make America Great Again. [15:20:47] Again before the Civil Rights Act again before the Voting Rights Act again before the Fair Housing Act. Because we're not going back. We're not going back. [15:21:01] We're not going back. We are not going back. And we will see this through. [15:21:18] So we. [15:21:21] Eyes wide open have to turn the page and write the next chapter. And as this fraternity has always known we can not wait for somebody else to write the chapter for us. [15:21:35] We are the authors of that chapter. [15:21:40] We are the authors so I would also say I have shared with you a little bit about my background in terms of my career because at this moment in time I believe it is relevant to this topic. [15:21:55] I believe that not only is it important to turn the page but that in order to get there to write the next chapter we must successfully prosecute the case against another four years of Donald Trump in the White House. [15:22:12] As. And I would say there is quite a rap sheet on which we can base that prosecution. [15:22:25] So just take a look at this. He told working people he'd stick up for them. I've been it's been a lot of time as you can imagine in places like Iowa. I'm I tell you I'm meeting farmers who are looking at bankruptcy. Because of this so-called trade deal that is a trade policy by tweet they are looking at soybeans rotting in beans. You travel this country people are estimating that autoworkers because of this so-called trade policy as many as 700000 thousand may lose their jobs by Christmas. American families are right now because of this so-called trade policy that was born out of ego instead of what could be in somebodies brain. Now. [15:23:14] American families right now are looking at paying one point four billion dollars more a month in everything from shampoo to washing machines he told working people he'd stick up and stand up for them and then he passed a tax bill that benefits the top 1 percent and the biggest corporations in this country to the point that 60 of the biggest corporations in America last year paid no taxes who here paid no taxes last year. He told people he'd give everybody health care came in trying to get rid of anything that Barack Obama created. [15:23:55] Knowing full well by the way that the Affordable Care Act that they labeled Obamacare was one of the most effective and important public policy initiatives in lifetimes around giving people access to health care. He got defeated when the Congress said no you don't. [15:24:20] Remember John McCain the late great guy John McCain said no you don't. [15:25:31] So people give everybody health care came in trying to get rid of anything that Barack Obama created. Knowing full well by the way that the Affordable Care Act that they labeled Obamacare was one of the most effective and important public policy initiatives in lifetimes around giving people access to health care. [15:26:00] He got defeated when the Congress said no you don't. [15:26:05] Remember John McCain the late great guy John McCain said no you don't. [15:26:11] But yet he's still trying to revive it. Led by a bunch of attorneys general. Trying to revive an attack on the Affordable Care Act which if they succeed will mean bringing back pre-existing conditions as a barrier to folks getting access to health care. Bringing back a state of play where our children will not have access to our insurance plans up until the age of 26. Let's look at this rap sheet. Let's look at the facts that they've been putting babies in cages in the border and calling that border security. [15:26:49] Well what it is is a human rights abuse being committed by the United States government. [15:26:58] Let's look at the fact that under that department of justice they have tried to revive the war on drugs. They have stopped paying attention to consent decrees where courts are supposed to oversee reform of police departments that have been proven to have a history of discrimination. [15:27:18] And they are no longer for the most part conducting pattern and practice investigations which are supposed to be done when it is disclosed that there is discrimination and profiling in law enforcement. Let's look at the rap sheet. Let's look at the fact that we are facing a climate crisis. It represents an existential threat to who we are as human beings. [15:27:43] But yet instead of embracing science fact they're pushing science fiction to our collective peril and demise. And by the way. [15:27:55] Pay attention to what's happening in New Orleans this weekend. Pay attention to which communities will be devastated. [15:28:02] First and not have access to clean water and have their communities deteriorate because of this climate crisis. [15:28:11] Let's look at that rap sheet. Let's look at the rap sheet when he came in strong man. Right. Just swinging his power all around. Says he's going put America first. Says. [15:28:32] He's gonna put America first. I'm getting carried away. He's got an America First. [15:28:47] Which suggests that he would have our nation's security is his highest priority. But yet. On the fact. [15:28:57] On the fact I serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee I serve on the Senate Homeland Security Committee. In addition to Judiciary and Budget on the fact that Russia interfered in the election of the president of the United States. Which by the way. Which by the way was a campaign that was about misinformation targeted on targeted on America's Achilles heel which is race. And focused on black folks. [15:29:31] On the subject of Russia's interference in the election of the president of the United States. The current occupant of the White House takes the word and prefers the word of the Russian president over the word of the American intelligence community. [15:29:49] On the subject of an American student who was tortured and later died. He prefers to take the word of a North Korean dictator over the word of the American intelligence community. On the subject of a journalist who was assassinated. A journalist who had American credentials. [15:30:12] He prefers to take the word of a Saudi prince over the word of the American intelligence community. We need a new commander in chief. [15:30:42] So let's turn the page. Let's turn the page and write that next chapter. And part of what's going to be in that chapter. Is one thing that I will share with you that we just rolled out this week and it is based on a whole agenda that we've got and then I've got that I believe speaks to what should be the priority issues which are the issues that wake people up in the middle of the night. [15:31:10] You know wake them up. I call it the 3:00 a.m. agenda. [15:31:13] You know those things that wake you up at about 3:00 o'clock in the morning and got you sometimes in a cold sweat. And for the vast majority of us when we wake up at 3:00 in the morning thinking those that it usually has to do with one and just a very few things. Personal health the health of our children our parents or so many. Can I get a job keep a job. Pay the bills by the end of the month retire with dignity for our students can I pay off those student loans. So I call it the 3 a.m. agenda as part of the next chapter. And one of the specific plans that I announced as part of our 3 a.m. agenda. Is to specifically address the racial wealth gap in America. [15:32:05] Why. [15:32:07] Well because a typical black family in America has just ten dollars of wealth for every one hundred dollars held by other families. And of course there's a history to this. There's a historical background to this. And we have to remember history because you cannot write the next chapter without remembering the last. [15:32:33] So let's talk about the racial wealth gap and do just a quick history reminder. Well word to. [15:32:42] All those service men mostly men came back. Veterans and America had a plan to thank them and lift them up for their service and sacrifice. [15:32:55] And it was focused on knowing that to give them the dignity they deserved give them a pathway toward financial health and stability. And one of the best ways to do that is give them a path toward home ownership. Remember their. Right after World War Two. Well guess who was excluded from that. Black families. So one of the major and most robust. Investments in building the middle class and their well being. Was in so many places legally and systemically denied to black families. [15:33:40] Let's remember that. Let's remember the history of redlining. [15:33:48] Where folks and we all know the stories and have the stories of families who were working hard saving money. [15:33:57] And were excluded from access to home ownership which we know in this country is the main and major source of economic health and well-being for any family. Let's remember. [15:34:17] What happened I share with you my experience as attorney general dealing with this that crisis that occurred in twenty seventeen eighteen around the foreclosure crisis. [15:34:28] Where it was discovered through an investigation that banks had been robo signing foreclosures meaning not doing the due diligence to determine if those families should lose their homes. And this was after marketing strategies that were about protected to predatory lending practices. [15:34:52] That often targeted black families and Brown families and immigrant families. And so what was the consequence of all of that devastation in terms of the loss of home ownership even at that period of time. And again when we talk about intergenerational wealth. Home ownership. [15:35:15] Is one of the main vehicles through which we achieve that. It is on the basis of owning that home that we can say to our son our daughter. You want to start a small business. I'll give you a little startup money. [15:35:29] It is on the basis of that home ownership that we say Honey you want to go to Howard. [15:35:35] I'll give you some of that money toward your tuition so you don't have to get caught up in that student loan debt. [15:35:42] Intergenerational wealth is created by homeownership. So here's my plan. [15:35:48] And I'm a closed down my comments. Here's my plan. Which is to make sure that black families have a real shot at homeownership. I'm prepared to do three major things one to change the way that we assess credit scores. [15:36:08] Why. Let me tell you why. If you look closely at the system. [15:36:15] That is designed to measure your financial responsibility. [15:36:21] It is a system that has been designed with an assumption that you have wealth and assets. For example. You have credit cards. Well you have to have money to have a credit card. You don't they don't just give them out. You have to qualify. They look at things like Are you paying your mortgage on time. Right. And on the basis of your credit score score you are then eligible to borrow more to build up your business to to refinance whatever you want to do. [15:36:55] So the assumption is that you have to have something to get something. That's how the system works. So but it's supposed to be. [15:37:05] It pretends to be about measuring your financial responsibility. How responsible are you with your financial obligations. So here's what I'm prepared to do. Let's add to the way that your score will be marked. Do you pay a phone bill on time. [15:37:25] Do you pay your rent on time. Do you pay the utility bills on time. [15:37:33] Which is equal measure of Are you financially responsible. Let's broaden the field of those who can qualify. Based on an accurate measure of Are you financially responsible second. [15:37:48] We need to have stronger anti-discrimination lending laws and require enforcement which means for those who are still engaged in the process an act of discriminating against people based on the zip code in which you live. The neighborhood in which you live. [15:38:08] There are laws on the books. That are supposed to prevent that but they need to be enforced. Third and that's the federal government that's all about federal laws around housing. And then third. I'm prepared to invest 100 billion dollars which will lift up 4 million families who. Live in red lined communities or federally subsidized housing. [15:38:40] To allow them the ability. [15:38:43] To put down down payments. Or closing cost for home ownership. [15:38:50] This will lift up four million families in the United States. [15:38:53] And by taking these steps we can shrink the wealth gap in the United States between black households and others by at least one third. So I'm a close my comments by saying. [15:39:08] We have it in our power as we all know because this is a large room full of leaders. We have it always in our power that way when we are in those rooms to make it matter. [15:39:24] To make a difference and to push things forward and to see it through. [15:39:31] And when I think about the future and I think about our babies and I think about all. [15:39:39] Whose shoulders we stand on. But also with an understanding that we must lift up. [15:39:45] Those who come behind us you know my mother she raised us she would say to me many times calmly you may be the first to do many things but make sure you're not the last. So when I think about. [15:40:01] Eyes front head high to the finish and we must see it through I also think about it this way. Years from now. [15:40:09] Our children our grandchildren and others they will look in our eyes. Each one of us and they will ask us. Where were you. At that inflection moment. And what we will be able to tell them. Is more than just how we felt at this moment in time. What the brothers of Omega sci fi will be able to talk about is what we did what action we took and the leadership we showed. [15:40:44] I thank you very much. [15:41:03] Brothers and sisters didn't she do a great job.
