Yep.
1:37:59
Hey.
1:38:00
Chair for you.
1:38:00
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson on the record.
1:38:03
Quick quick thing before I start my testimony.
1:38:05
I'm I'm here to I was able to support the other hearing chair by Julian Menon and photo workers, worker fatalities, I made that clear that we need Douglas Invisible turnout today.
1:38:16
We need more people to fight for this instead of just doing BS press press conferences and rallies, put the put the same boost to the hearings, to the to the public testimony.
1:38:25
That's the only way they're gonna listen.
1:38:27
So back to the topic at hand, I wanna advocate in support of the bill to make a requirement to store e bike batteries into proper bends.
1:38:38
One thing then you start happening more is we need, like, more education first, and the education need to be implemented in Spanish, Creole, and I'm not trying to be in more foreign languages.
1:38:52
Dedicated to the African community because these are the main ones that are doing the the the the ristas, Hispanics, and Africans.
1:39:00
These ones are doing the the ristas.
1:39:01
So you need to start pushing more education in these certain languages more.
1:39:07
Instead of just English.
1:39:09
That's my opinion with that.
1:39:11
Everybody know these in the main race, the main type of people that are delivering the delivering our food.
1:39:17
So if you don't give them the education in their language, and making a big time priority over English is gonna be really ineffective of a bill.
1:39:26
One more thing one thing needs to start happening more with these storages is do you need to make more public?
1:39:33
Public storage.
1:39:34
I had a more public storage for everybody, not just deliveries.
1:39:37
And you and people need to start pushing it more to the public instead of just letting one nonprofit and I'll make this clear the work adjustment project, which is ran by Liggy Galapo, which is none of your real nonprofit, telling their workers to tell them their members to hack hijack all the the the charging stations and hijack all the the bike racks.
1:39:59
So the end is here, like, yeah, we need we need the the changes up with storing into the right garbage bins.
1:40:08
But if there's no real education and and especially push it for more, like, languages, like Spanish and the African language like Creole and and audio languages.
1:40:19
It's gonna be ineffective.
1:40:20
It's not gonna do anything.
1:40:21
You're gonna have I know you're I know chair or brainer, you you care about preventing more of these fires, at these at these apartment buildings.
1:40:29
But if you're not pushing it to the right to the right people, you're not targeting the right people with these with these bills, and this is not gonna do anything.
1:40:38
It's like it's like you're pushing.
1:40:41
It's like you're trying to tell someone that is that only speaks Spanish, stuff like English.
1:40:48
It's just pointless.
1:40:49
So I support it, and but we need more education to the right language
