to do and well i want to can do congratulate you for being still going on you know because i met you you had at least five or maybe ten years or four i started volunteering working with you in the first thing i remember doing with you was the  doctors and lawyers and a medical doctor who are just most recently yeah so thank you for giving me the space so as far as the classes that were able to teach that's also been something interesting because of the grant that the city of seattle gave us to help teach families and individuals how to do video editing and such but now with technology being so easy i can use my cell phone to web stream conversations i've been doing that for like the last couple of years and i'm able to to class on it now at seattle central and so as far as what we're doing at the upcoming panel discussion we're going to use you tube and you have your mac you have the other box that you're able to accept multiple videos in and it did them sticks it out through the laptop through the program program has a get out there so it's it's again it's fascinating how it works and how the price  and how the voice you know and i having editorship roared and just talking about issues to sharon's government i think that's the other key to because you've been able to have multiple mayors come not just the current one of two thousand fifteen that you have has six means that you have photos with and they come and interviews and you know i've given you days that you've got a date in recognition didn't you oh yeah years ago but yeah i mean yeah exactly how did the new mare and him being able to think only well in the educational system was based on the old way of farming so you had to have the summers off right but now we are in a different technology mindset everything is so rapid now everything is internet based  everything is on the computer and so that kind of changes the way that a person person's year works as far as you don't have to be the hunter gatherer anymore because you can go down to the supermarket and buy whatever food that you  but the fact that the the year is changed because of technology and we don't have to have summers away from school but the system is set up they used to laugh that summers off yeah right and so that that whole paradigm shift is really kind of messing up the whole now you say democratic but the whole corporate capitalistic on the way things work here and so you have a dream that she's on the most recently with the poor sister who got who was found dead in her jail cell and purview and they didn't come up with any way to to indict anybody associated in a police office there and so that was a story she did an interview with the kind with the mother and the lawyer of the family yesterday and the sister i mean it's it was announced today is what w was announced monday that there was going to be a verdict for the death of sarah bland and tuesday amy goodman of democracy now is doing an interview with the really if we have our own media center right and having a conversation as it happens it happens it was unfiltered given that we don't have to come here and they kind of watch and you follow exactly and you know  know the side and so that's something i definitely want to work with you about and there was a movie there's a documentary bound and i mentioned before so i think for this kind of stuff i think that one that was signed by the so what are you looking out to thousand and sixteen what are we going to have as you can stories i mean and last the last two or three weeks since my move i'm met people there was a woman who suffered a brain injury who's written a couple of books she's european american there is a brother who is a case manager at my apartment now who's puerto rican and he spent a couple years doing club fed but he also has a lot agree and he realized in one of the laws for bankruptcy that there was a statement in that that's unconstitutional and so he came to me he wants to share that with me and so that's another story i'll be talking about medical cannabis is something i definitely want to investigate more about because there is right at the corner of twenty third in union there's a church there twenty third in union historically has been a pace a place where drugs and violence and now there is a drug pot store basically that you can touch the store and touch the church at the same time and so earlier this year there was a rally about that place and every time i go by twenty because i drive down twenty three quite a bit every time i go by twenty third union the church is empty but there's always people in the store and so that's something i wouldn't want to investigate more about because there's a whole thing related to drug incredible sources for any ox and it's out there and some people are saying that hemp control cancer is that powerful and so i would love to have a discussion about that the difference between happen kind of us the difference about cannabis medical get moving find the get moving find is a city of seattle a reimbursable grant to support non profits small businesses and grassroots community groups and offering event projects to increase participation and communit sports recreation and physical fitness eligible programs should serve young people and or adults over fifty and under resourced

forty five pm on tuesday dollars community center on saturday from n to two pm brainier beach community center thursday from six thirty to eight thirty pm hello once again my name is dr paul jackson and i'm sitting here on christmas eve december twenty fourth two thousand and fifteen and the office is the studio multimedia resource training institute and i've had just an incredible year and so we're closing out twenty fifteen and we have a lot of products that will be continuing in the sixteen but also expanding and some new things that are happening in two thousand and sixteen so cozy now from two thousand wednesday at five thirty at the twenty one hundred building we're going to have a discussion about jobs and so want to is the candidate that won for the city council is going to be there and going to talk about jobs and speaking of jobs i want to congratulate the studio in march for or having the mayor guarantee or say that he's going to be able to sponsor year round abscess cool projects for students as internships instead of for the summer that may or is going to the mayor of seattle is going to sponsor year round it's work jobs first high school students to come here to the studio to work so i think that's keep the central area and the history of the center of the central district on the books and so because of gentrification a lot of the history is trying to be removed and charged to be forgotten but thanks to the city of seattle  they're going to sponsor help us keep those stories going anyway but dr paul jackson him r t i and we need to come to january and the twelfth and wednesday at the twenty one hundred building to talk about the panel discussion about jobs that's being sponsored by or supported by the city of seattle and we'll have some actual city council members there to talk about and so ships for not only minorities and youth and criminal justice and we had somebody from a c l u there we had an officer from seattle police to overcome even though he was an official he couldn't do you know obviously couldn't speak for the the unit the whole entire police force but it was a good turnout we talked about some of the crimes that some happening unfortunately there's still deaths that are happening most recently that i know about it's a poor young girl who got killed over her jordan sneakers air jordan sneakers and so on and she was like thirteen years old and then turned out to be a family member that did that which is really kind of tragic the second one we did was about cell housing and we had the director of the housing authority come and be a part of the discussion and we had people from the general various i was able to give answers or give questions they were answered so we had a lot of people including the seattle housing director we also had the capitol hill housing director that was there and a number of other people and the east african community our leaders and were there to answer questions and the general audience to ask questions and some was pretty cool so that the next one coming up the next panel discussion about jobs will be very interesting because we have so want to just got elected reelected she is a socialist alternative socialist and she is one of the people that behind the fifteen dollars an hour minimum  wage and she'll be there she will be there to part of discussion about jobs because you know seattle in the tough location it's getting more and more expensive to live in seattle is turning into a little silicon valley because we have a lot of industries that are here and startups and such but a lot of people are moving to seattle and because of that the demand of housing is going to of course jack up there are processes and because of the way that the structure is made here in seattle for  builder to build a helsa condo whatever term they don't necessarily have to put money aside to help those low income people and so there's some been some laws that need to be changing need to be changing are changing to make sure that that happens so a certain percentage of money goes into poor to make sure that they have low income people be able to live in seattle as we don't want to have to continue separation of the wealth between the haves and the have nots anyway i'm paul jackson dr paul jackson multimedia research strenuous to december twenty fourth twenty fifteen make sure you come to the chairman of the thirteenth wednesday may have a lot of education i don't have a lot of experience most of our family members or service workers or so for you know coming from and immigrant background i didn't have that as a platform so i had to this is a particular but most minority small businesses are facing a lot of challenges with increased run the demographics of the neighborhood changing so so we've been talking with some other small business owners and so we're you know are trying to organize and see what we can do to share resources and challenge just the where we're facing and then be you know the next option is you know what your  are what can you do to help solve the problem or maybe not solve the problem but maybe separated in chunks and seeing if we can find resources and or you know people that can we can  bring to the table to help us change and grow with the change in or in times seattle's growing we want to be part of that growth we want our businesses our homes or businesses to be successful and so we're trying to see from learn from each other first as well as looking at the greater community to see what could be done to to help us grow this is great i think last time we talked in the restaurant you brought some kind of  capital housing started this about three years ago and they were trying to meet the needs of some businesses that are on property jefferson so they did an inventory and they had talked to people and so and so since then it's been you know it's been a couple you know they're still going through but it's been a couple years about two to three years so we were trying to capture that data and the way that that you know so we can see so we're trying to it's a service it's a basic service just kind of asking a business owner what are you going through are you is your business increasing as a decreasing just to see what the lay of the land is then toss so help us there are business owners to see if what what are the challenges that that most people are facing and what are some things that or maybe this business owner is facing this challenge yet another business owner you know that's not a challenge that's actually something that they're successful with so so the survey is we're trying to go to small businesses we've been working primarily with east african businesses and central district capitol hill and international district but but it could be do you know it could be to any businesses in the area and it's just basically we don't really have an inventory half how many have a ship businesses there are how many east african businesses are you know or what type of businesses and so this is kind of to see a stock of what what exists and like i said we're working just because of the limitation on time and resources we're working on a small area but there's no reason why we can't pass out the survey from lynwood to federal way or cross all of washington so it would be nice to have an inventory of what's what's available  and then but moving forward probably before january first we're going to have a constant contact newsletter that comes out monthly and then we also have a google group e mail that we can start passing out but for now campaign you know we want to know who you are and what you're doing and then from there on we can see what i think in some way yeah i heard there's a meeting coming there's one of them and then the next meeting will be january fourteenth from four thirty to six thirty at assemble restaurant which is located on twenty eighth and cherry and if you can't make the meeting after free to email me or call me i can still get to the  meeting i can still and there's an announcement you want to make like if you have a sale or if you have an event or if you if there's something you want to talk about your service also let us know and we can let the people that are at the meeting
