memory will be alive in the hearts of millions across our country whose spirit is opening the consciousness of our nation and it's calling for Justice equality and change. Thank you so much Pastor Johnson and First Lady Johnson. Thank you for all the members of our community for coming together. In this moment, I know that we. Stand here with a heavy heart for those whose lives have been taken from us too soon. I'm aubry Briana Taylor Tamir Rice, Philando Castille Eric Garner, George Floyd, and so many others when I think of all these lives my heart breaks and it's difficult. Find the words that adequately explain the pain the anger the frustration but being here this morning with God, I know that even in our deepest despair, God gives us the strength to move forward. We must take bold action, but we must do it with love. I think it's important that we follow our North Star and guiding lights those who have been given their lives their very own lives in the struggle for Justice, one of the people that I always look to that I admire and who understood the fight for Justice is doctor Martin Luther King and I just wanna bring up the words that guide me in these moments, he said. Dark. Cannot put out darkness only light can do that, and I say to you, I have decided to stick with love. For I know that love is ultimately the only answer to humankind's problems. I know it isn't popular to talk about it in some circles today and I'm not talking about emotional Bosh when I talk about love. I'm talking about a strong demanding love for I have seen too much hate and I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear, I have decided to love if you are seeking the highest good. I think you can find it through love. We know that the current state of Affairs is unacceptable, We have to work today to erase the injustices that black men and communities of color face in all aspects of our government and our society in our health care system, our education system, our criminal Justice system, and of course the way that they have been policed for decades like you I have had enough. The time has come to take action. We've heard the calls at all levels, local state and federal we all of us in positions of power need to make the change that our country is yearning for at the federal level, it starts with passing legislation that would have prevented George Floyd's death so I have joined. Colleague and good friend Representative Hakeem Jeffries on legislation that will outlaw at the federal level any form of chokehold by law enforcement. My colleagues and I on the Judiciary Committee have called for the attorney General to investigate the senseless killings of unarmed black Americans and next Wednesday. we will be holding a hearing to address the crisis of racial profiling police misconduct and the last trust between police departments and the communities that they serve in order to fully address this crisis. We have to confront it head on and I'm working. also with my good friend Congresswoman Fred Rico Wilson to pass legislation that will establish a Commission to study the social. Is a black men and boys, and we must continue to hold our police accountable and demand transparency Our police officers are here to protect us. They're here to serve us and I know and many of you are here this morning with us that most of our officers and our chiefs, they want real change. they've seen those videos. They know that that's not what law enforcement is about. They have denounced what happened in Minneapolis and I'm. For those officers for recognizing the issues that exist in their departments for speaking out for kneeling down with our community for addressing this crisis with peace and understanding, but we need to make sure that we hold all law enforcement accountable and up to that standard. One thing is clear to me and I think too many of you also that there is no going back to the time before. George Floyd video came out. That's not the normal that any of us wanna go back to this is a moment for profound change in our country and if you have any doubt that that's coming that change is coming just look around. look behind me look at the young people who are making their voices heard. They are the hope. That drives our community and will push us through progress together all of us, whether we're young old middle-aged everyone of racial background, Andre we're in this struggle together fighting for equality, Justice and change. I have no doubt that George Floyd's life will live on in each of us and the part we will play in moving our country in the right direction. I am so grateful. Stand here surrounded by incredible community leaders for making that change happen right now. I'm happy to introduce my very good friend and dear colleague Representative Donna Shaila. Thank you Debbie. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. What he said, and that's how he died. People are angry and they should be I am angry for generations, Black and Brown people have been promised equal opportunity, respect humanity and Justice, but they have seen some but too little progress. Our country is in mourning the covid-, 19 pandemic and the recent police killing of war and Rihanna, Taylor and others are painful reminders of the deep rooted racism and inequality that persists in our. In health, care and education in the Justice system today, black man between the ages of 15 and 34 are 10 times more likely than other Americans to be killed by law enforcement officers. It's not a coincidence we've learned that black Americans are more likely to become infected with Covid- 19 and died from the disease. They're more likely to become unemployed more likely to face starer consequences in their loss. Of income. We've got to end the status quo in this country. I'm inspired by the protesters, the vast majority of whom are demonstrating peacefully who have come together despite the global pandemic to demand Justice. I went out and talked to them more importantly, I listened to them. I am inspired by them by the young leaders of this movement to insist that their generation will do better. I believe their. Will do better I'm inspired by the activists and the law makers and the scholars who are proposing real solutions to ending violence and curing systemic racism and I look forward doing my part with my wonderful colleague Debbie. In the House of Representatives by elevating the voices of my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus who are proposing comprehensive police reform civil rights legislation for the 20 first century, in addition to Hakeem Jeffries legislation and that by our colleague, Frederic Wilson, we're cosponsoring a resolution introduced by Representative Ayana Presley, supporting the establishment of an independent all civilian review boards and police departments across the country. Those boards would have the power to investigate police misconduct to ensure meaningful oversight. We have one in the city of Miami. We must never forget. though the power of our vote, we have an election in November and local races represented by many of my colleagues here, they're often decided by just a few votes. Local officials have the ability to influence a lot of policy decisions that directly affect our community. I That I'm not going to speak about race perfectly at every moment, but I promise that I will always listen. I've learned from the mistakes I make and I'll always seek to do better. We cannot allow this unjust these injustices to continue any longer the promise of equal Justice for our black brothers and sisters is long overdue. Black lives do matter black lives do matter we have to use peaceful means to realize that promise not tomorrow, but now James Baldwin. But not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. I believe that deep in my heart and I will do everything I can along with my colleagues in Congress in the state House locally to make sure that we make a difference. Thank We're going to open it up for a prayer now and I'm gonna. Father God thank you for allowing us to see another day That was not promised to us. Oh God thank you for giving us the gift of life and in that God thank you for making each and everyone of us unique individuals that you are the creator. You are the sustainer of life and that we thank you for gover because you're the creator of government and with that being said, thank you for giving us community leaders and National leaders. That look out for our best interests. God Thank you for giving them the heart and the mind of Jesus in which they become the voice for the voices they become hope for the hopeless God use each and every one of us standing on the stage to evoke change and to make a difference in the lives of the people that we serve God until the phrase liberty and Justice for all. it's materialized in every person in America, we have much work to. So God we thank you for allowing us to be your hands and your feet God and we can't do anything aside from you. Lord God and we can't do anything apart from you so that we dedicate this time to find solutions to real life problems help us. Oh God to be an example to the world starting right here in South Miami. God we give you all the praise. we give You all the glory. Lord God you're worthy to be praised Even now, yes. Thank you Lord. For each and everyone of us because we will evoke change, we will make a difference in Jesus name. I pray Amen. Of me. John Thank you johnsons of the elected officials those that are here our young people that are here Congresswoman Thank you for doing this. I had an opportunity last night to speak with Eric Gardner's mother, who is in Houston today that will be attending the funeral of Mister Floyd and I shared with her that we would be gathering here today, People of goodwill people. People in politics, law enforcement young people to honor mister Floyd but to also raise our against this event ever happening again. You know, I couldn't help, but think that Jacksons standing behind me here thinking about is father that we used to call big Jack that was Sandy remember him well that was pastor of one of the biggest churches in in Northgate, but he was humble enough to be able to know that we live in a society of depth perception that we have to care about one another and to look up and. At a crime watch meeting with seven people goes to show where leadership has to go in a moment like this, we have to make sure that we pull together with our young people. What's happening in our community now is a good thing. It's not a bad thing. Doctor King's Dream has really blossomed now I've seen people of different backgrounds, different economic backgrounds, different races, different languages coming together in harmony to stand up on. Of Injustice, what happens in one community affects all communities and I think it's very important, ladies and gentlemen that we look at our members and law enforcement, which as I you know was a member of law enforcement and I was just talking to the major here how I used to patrol this area as a trooper and members of law enforcement are members of our community that grew up in sat in these pews in this church and praise God and and and. What's right in our society but I can tell you what's the good thing that I think is gonna be the gift out of all of this when we look at our reforms as President Obama talked about look at our policies and procedures look at how we treat one another. I think it will allow those members in law enforcement that know those members those very small percentage. That's in law enforcement. that's not living under this umbrella of good will and public service. Everyone is getting an opportunity to see what happens when one or two individuals make a bad decision and it affects our entire community. Our entire nation and enough is enough. so I just wanna Thank you Congresswoman both of you Pastor Johnson for allowing us to be here today to give voice to the voiceless. I encourage the protesters to continue Doctor King's Dream never would have come to evolution if. Didn't stand in the streets this country wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for protests. So I think it's very important to the entire South Florida community that we pray for the Floyd family today but also work towards a common goal of making sure that everyone in our country and everyone in our community is treated equally and fairly. Thank you so very much. Thank you, former Congressman Kendrick Meek and to the Meek family who has been an icon in our community. Always fighting for Justice and equality. Thank you so much Jamil rivers who's gonna say a few words on behalf of Congresswoman Fred Rico Wilson, who is not able to join us today. Good morning, I will read the following statement from Representative for Wilson. The murder of George Floyd is yet another example in our nation's history of police officers abusing and murdering black men and boys. That is why I've introduced the Commission or the social status of Black Men and Boys Act of 2019, which establishes a bipartisan Commission that will be held within the Justice Department. Civil Rights division HR 1636 now has 146 CO-SPONSORS it is by. And bipartisan and Marco Rubio is the lead sponsor in the Senate. The Commission will serve as a permanent clearing House that will examine the significant societal disparity black males face in such areas as education, criminal, Justice, health and employment, among others. It also will recommend policies and practices to improve upon our augment current government programs. The Suggestions will be sent to the President, the President's Cabinet and to Congress and the relevant committees of jurisdiction three decades ago after the police beating of Rodney King gave the of Justice the authority to investigate state. Thank you. Thank you so much stay local police departments for patterns for practices of unconstitutional policing such as racial profiling and excessive use of force. Sadly, Mister Trump's Justice Department has completely disemboweled this police reform effort. I believe that there is an urgent need to mandate police departments around the nation with histories of police violence to enter into consent decrees helps to create sweeping policy changes to both the policies and cultures within this police Department. Lead to racial racially discriminatory policing police departments must not be allowed to tolerate misconduct. I fear that if we do not take this step, there will be many more George Floyds. Those are the words of Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, Pastor Johnson. Well, I just wanna say welcome to all of you who have shown up today and thank you so much this to all of our dignitaries. Congresswoman Debbie Martel Powell Congresswoman down shaila and so many others who are gracing us on this stage. The Pastors of South Bay always say that we're stronger together And just by looking at those who are in this room the pastors the politicians. The police and the people, young and old shows that we are stronger together and so I just I'm encouraged today because this issue is not a political issue. This is not about black or White. This is not about Republican or Democrat. This is not about liberal or conservative. This is not about right or left this is about right. This is about being right doing it right there. Doctor Martin Luther King says it like this injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere and so I'm thankful that we have our brothers and sisters walking along side of us standing with us marching with us protesting with us because at the end because I am a preacher, I believe that love should be the highest goal and so I thank you all for coming today. I thank you all for what you're doing and I just continue to ask that you keep our community in prayer as we stand along each other and at the end of the day. Thank you so much. I bring up Timothy Jones, who is a young activist who's been participating in the protest. Thank you so much good morning everyone special thanks to Congresswoman Sowell Congressman Shaila Congressman Meek and our distinguished civic leaders who are here with us today. My name is Timothy Jones and I'm not only a husband, a son, a pastor and a community activist, But I'm also a black man. I'm a black man who has faced systemic oppression, racial profiling and social injustice, and in light of recent events I feel as if our nation will have to look in the mirror and ask ourselves the question. How will the story end? will it in with more bloodshed with more senseless violence with unrequited fear? I'm here to solicit Justice, not only for the lives of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor and a. Berry, but the countless black and Brown lives who have lost their lives to senseless violence and injustice and to urge our community, particularly millennials to vote. there is this erroneous notion of food that millennials voices don't matter and that we shouldn't be a part of change because nothing will change. but it's that type of thinking that will keep us going through the cycles that we've been going through all these many years we should vote. Convictions list Our voice go unheard and not only on a federal level a statewide level, but also on municipal and local levels. It reminds me of the song that our foremothers and forefathers would say when peace like a River or attended my way when sorrows like Sea billows roar, Whatever my lot thou has taught me to say it is well with my soul. I wanna close. Saying this if the revolution for Justice has begun, then fight most definitely starts with us. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you and now Mara Taylor another young activist Maia. Good morning and thank you. Thank you all for having us here today. I am the executive Director of Justice Tribe the recent unjustified murders of Amare Rihanna, Taylor and George Floyd has highlighted the systemic racism that still exists in the US and it is also illuminated American hypocrisy with regards to human rights and democracy. Justice Child is disgusted by the US and police departments response, which was. To many of the peaceful protesters that were protesting around our nation, just as child has established the Florida bail fund to support protesters and justly arrested for challenging systemic racism, police brutality and the devaluation of black lives. We are calling for a civilian led Police oversight Committee for Miami-Dade County Police the Miami Dade County Police Department. We are also calling for a collective of independent non-governmental bodies to. Complaints of crimes and human rights violations against citizens while police and schools may serve and protect White students. They have been known to overwhelmingly harassed target and funnel a disproportionate amount of black students into the school to prison pipeline alternative measures should be adopted such as the use of restorative Justice and the use of more social workers in schools as opposed to hiring more and more school police officers. we are also demanding. End of the use of facial recognition technology and the facial recognition system in Florida because it's further exacerbates systemic racism and the strategic targeting of black communities. If black communities are not involved in the creation of these innovative technologies, then they will fall victim to it. The current creators of these technologies are often racially biased and they're biases are expressed through the algorithms They. Leading to wrongful arrest and imprisonment lesly, you're calling for the US to stop contributing to the deaths of black lives and the US and around the world. we need to end the genocide in Westwood that started with the US with its sign that when the signing of the New-york agreement, Indonesia, that is taking the life of over 500000 black people, it is now a time for a real systemic change in the end to systemic racism and I just wanna ask this. A black lives do matter Thank you. And now it's my pleasure and honor to have with us former state Senator Bullard, who has always been a part of a Nikon, also of this community here in South. Thank you so much and joined by my colleague Andrea Mercado, who's the executive director of the New Florida majority where our political director, but I also have the auspicious distinction of serving as the President of the NAACP for the last 109 years, The NAACP has stood fast and trying to dismantle racism and I don't wanna be clear Racism cannot be reformed racism cannot. Racism must be dismantled and destroyed, and it begins first with words. We have to recognize that we stand on stolen land. Was stolen bodies from around the globe that are too often unrecognized and marginalized. By the upliftment of racism in this country, you know a lot of focus has been put on law enforcement over the last few days, but I want you to understand that it's not just about law enforcement. Cannot be dismantled unless you look at every aspect of the way in which it is intertwined itself in our society and I'm thankful that Congresswoman Marcos Powell Congresswoman Kayla former Congressman Meek Congresswoman Frederica Wilson had come to share words about I need people to understand that we need not only restructuring and reform of the criminal Justice system, but we also need to find public servants here to work with Congresswoman Maxine Waters to restructure the financial system that is left to. You need a Red line and left in the margins. We need the Congress persons here to work with Congresswoman Jayapal to restructure the health care system that has left too many black bodies, underinsured uninsured and without health care. We need to dismantle every aspect of racism in society and it does not just stop at the federal level. I stand here with my colleagues from the New Florida majority because we've already issued a letter to the Director Ramirez, as well as sheriffs and chiefs around the state offering recommendations from the freedom from Florida Coalition or what needs to be done at every level of law enforcement to end and eradicate police brutality within the Department. And begin to restructure and reshape what protection let me say it again what protection of communities looks like and not the policing of black bodies. We've also been in coalition the NAACP and the New Florida majority with the coalition of others that include Equality, Florida, which is the state's leading LGBTQ community or Organization, Jewish Brothers and sisters. Sisters of Faith who've been calling on the creation of an independent civilian review panel, not only at the Miami Dade County level, but across the 30 plus municipalities here in Miami-Dade County and we hope that it spreads to the rest of the state because the reality is that we're not trying to. Big brother our law enforcement agencies, but we also have to recognize that our law enforcement agencies have big brother in our communities for far too long, so we have to begin to look work in conjunction with one another in order to create regulatory policies that again protect communities do not police. We also look to work with state representatives similar to leader Mcgee. Like Senator Bobby Powell of West Palm Representative Jody Joseph, who will be offering legislation in this upcoming session that will begin to look at again the structural statewide impacts of racism in this country. We live in Florida. I don't know if you've noticed where Florida falls on the map, but it's in the deep South and we have to understand that in order to make change here, we have to call out the fact that many of. Including the policy after a hundred and 50 years of 41 point, four million individuals the right to vote set in policy for a hundred and 50 years in this state, the most long-standing disenfranchisement of human beings in the country. Collectively, 65 percent of voters decided enough was enough, so I use that as an example, as I close to let you know that it can be done, but it can only be done with like-minded individuals choose to work together to get this thing done again. I say in the end like I started racism cannot be fixed racism cannot. It must be destroyed and collectively would we will join forces together with any and everybody who's willing to do it to make that happen? So I turned-over my cally. Andrea Mercado say a few words in Spanish mosquito Latins and Soir Sudamericana hasta experimentando racismo y discriminación, tanto como los latinos y los indígenas en este país es el principio de este país y es el momento de tomar acción en solidaridad con la comunidad negra negra, para decir las vidas negras importan y tenemos que tener esas conversaciones con nuestras familias con nuestra comunidad y tenemos que estar ahí en las calles. tenemos que estar ahí alzando las voces, todo lo que se pueda para decir que las viudas negras importan. ese es el Para fumar la la la Unión del Pueblo y unirnos para acabar con el racismo y la discriminación gracias. Andrea Mercado Gracias Andrea, por esas palabras tan importantes en español, especialmente para la comunidad hispana, se Congresswoman and thank you to the delegation and Congresswoman Shaila Congresswoman Feriha Wilson and Congressman Kendrick Meek, but let me also recognize the leaders of this community. Pastor Jackson Pastor Johnson, Pastor Smith and pastor and others who have held the Fort down here in this community for so long and we. Of applause. That they have make sure that the South is what it is as far as moving forward. Also, I like to commend my good brother Dwight Bullard on all the work he has done in this community. he has been the voice for the South and you will remain that. but that's the absolutely clear. Declaration of Independence has about 1450 - eight words There are about five words in that declaration that really brings about the call for equality. All men are created equal, however, for some strange reason we now see that the results are screaming injustice inequality. We know for a fact without much pain. That the results are evident. We hold these truths to be self-evident that listen African-American wealth in this nation while the White median wealth is a hundred and $71000, African-american medium wealth is $17000. When Covid-, 19 hit our community, We make up 23 percent of the population to 13 percent of the population, but 23 percent of the cases and we're talking about income. We're looking at african-american at about 60 percent of that of the White counterpart. When we're talking about poverty, we're looking at poverty rates somewhere about eight times that of the counterpart when we're talking about jobs and employment, we see based on what they CNN reports stated in about 20 percent of African-Americans as. To eight percent of the counterpart, why am I saying this? Declaration of Independence is what we stand on one of the greatest documents that have been have been written. It is something that I hold dear to my heart and so should you we live in the greatest nation of all times. Nothing will change that and because we love this nation, we have the right to criticize the injustice that found I'll close by saying this I don't want the message to be that all officers and law enforcement officers are bad people because they're not. Of course, with everything else, when you have more than one, you will always have a difference of opinion and position which create problems and I'm speaking not in a sense of some theory that I heard about. I'm speaking as a person who have suffered physically at the hands of law enforcement. I was a victim of brutality. I know what that so-called feels like personally. I know what that need to the back feels like personally, I know what it's like to be slammed to the ground beaten placed in cups walk to the backseat of a police car to take that walk of shame to the jail to be charged with crimes in order to hide the brutality that have taken place to be offered A. To close out the case so that those who did what they did can hide behind that badge. I know that feeling all too well and I know there are many brothers and sisters out there, Hispanic and black and White. Know that feeling all too well and who are joining us in this quest for equality and to ensure that the results were no longer streaming injustice or unequal, but are streaming that all men are created equal. So as I close and I'll take my walk back just know that this cause that you're seeing this push for equality, the noise that we're making in the streets that is. Indicative and a great sign that we love this nation so much that we refuse to stand still and allow a certain few people to determine the narrative of this nation. There will be a history book written about this moment. Yes, sir, the question will be will we be seeing as those who are just looting and writing throughout our community. Or will we be seeing at those who control the narrative and said that we peacefully protested? We walk We challenge and we move the system forward. That's what it's all about. We're gonna control this narrative. This is what the new narrative is going to say inclusion. not exclusion. Thank you. And now to close this off my pleasure Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, who represents parts of South very important. Thank you. Thank you Congresswoman. Thank you to this incredible leadership circle who's driving the narrative like a representative, said. You know, I was not beaten. I was never handcuffed I was never choke hold held, but we are all there with George Floyd. We are all there now not only as a nation of conscience but of the world. The whole world is awoke. Happened in Minneapolis and what I see from that unbearable tragedy, which is a reflection of hundreds of years hundreds of years of discrimination. hundreds of years of inequality in this country. What I see is that a movement is emerging? What I see is people of goodwill of conscience everywhere coming together and this movement. Is fueled by that anger by that frustration of young people by that anger by that frustration of people who have known this in their personal lives, and for too long have suffered it and by the good law enforcement officers who stand in solidarity and know that this is not the way law enforcement should behave and with legislators up and down from the federal. In the state and right here in Miami-Dade County, who together are going to change that narrative with the good will of the people with the people marching. so I'll say March on because I agree we will change that narrative and like Pastor Johnson says the power of love is what will prevail, but change will never happen without that action. change will not happen with mere words change needs. The media it needs the research it needs the moral high ground such as standing here with these incredible leaders in this House of worship and it needs the cries of the people. so I say, bring it on movement. We will change this narrative. Thank you. Commissioner and I wanna recognize a very good friend who's also standing here with US State House Representative Javier Thank you for coming have a Fernandez. Thank you so much for being here and can I please invite to the podium? Pastor Jackson Pastor Pastor Hixson to close this off the three of you with us with a prayer before we handed to the press for. On the verge of starting up athleticism again in America and sports teams around the country about to open again question was asked one professional athlete Are you gonna take a knee during the National anthem and it's response was I'm not so much concerned, but who takes a knee as to what are they gonna do with the platform that they have when they stand up. Okay? What's gonna happen when all these cameras are gone? What happens when each of you go back to your walk of life? Must declare that enough is enough. We're gonna be here with law enforcement. We're gonna be here with the politicians. We're gonna be here standing hand in hand with them and the fight continues. They thought that the protests will be over because the four officers was arrested. This ain't just about Minnesota. This stuff is happening around the country. Oh yeah we want we want change. We want things to be done differently and it starts today. I'd love with Congresswoman said that we. Change everything that we confront, but if we don't confront it, it will never change stand with not just these passages but pastors in the South Bay area as we stand, arm and arm and say that this has to change enough is enough. I like Pastor Anthony Reed to this prayer as we bring this to a conclusion. We also take notice of the young men and the young people who are in this sanctuary. It is a sign. Thank you so much to our Congresswoman and those persons. those elected officials shall we do the one thing that brought us this far by faith, which is to go before our God and pray as we close most times at the end of every civil rights movement, a pastor from the community would come and pray. Because the people knew that at the end of the day, our help and our hope was not necessarily in government, but there was still a last word that would come from God because we believe that in this country, God is still the Supreme shall we do what our ancestors have done shall we do what the lunch counter sit-ins close in let us pray. God of our weary years God of our silent tears God who has brought us thus far. God we pray today that in this sanctuary, a new norm is being stamped upon our community. This new norm is a norm that is being pushed by the voice of those who know that it's not over until God says It's over this new norm is the norm where elected officials are fighting the good fight of faith in Congress and behind. And people in grassroots places, lunch counter workers preachers teachers, sanitation workers people who will not give up the fight. We come to God believing that Lord at the close of the day, George Floyd represents all of us and what is happened. God was and exposure that we needed to see no longer can. Be hidden under the guise of badges, but God we thank you that even in this season, you have used one who went down to make a stand up. God. We pray this prayer today for protection for power. We pray this prayer for our leaders, our Congress women our congressman, those who are fighting for what is right. We pray this prayer because God we know that at the end of the day. Going to take the voice of the United States of America to stand not a voice that is one -sided, not a voice that's still operates out of prejudice and but a voice that knows that all men and women are created equal. Yes, sir God. we want that voice to be heard, especially in the height of an election year. We want that voice to be heard that God each person who roll up their sleeve. Decides to be an elected official, Let them remember that they're serving for the people and God we pray because we know that God even Jesus serve for the people. We pray God that Lord as in this country today, Memorial services are being held for a slain individuals who gave up their life, but I thank you God because what was done in darkness was brought to the light. We give you praise today for us, you are doing something in this season and your word declares. let the ones who have ears hear what the spirit is saying to us. Oh, yeah, God we pray now protection in the days ahead. We pray that no protesters' life will be lost and that God you will separate protesters from rioters and at the end of the day, God our voice that. Standing will also be willing to take a knee. We pray this prayer believing that God you are ultimately in charge and we thank you for God all things work together for the good to them that love God and are called according to your purpose. This is our purpose to see righteousness in this season. We give you all glory now in Jesus This is our prayer. Amen. Amen. Thank you pastor and thank you. Commissioner Wilbur Ross, Mister and Missus Dibbs everyone for joining us today for the young man standing behind me my family for coming here and being with me today. Thank you everyone that concludes the program.
