Thank you.
3:59:00
I just have one question for you.
3:59:01
When you said you'd contacted my office before, are you talking about my office or any of the chairs here?
3:59:06
My office?
Andrew
3:59:07
Yours and mister Holden.
Yusef Salaam
3:59:10
Gotcha.
3:59:11
Gotcha.
3:59:13
Alright.
3:59:13
So hopefully we can follow-up with your concerns.
3:59:17
You said you do have a court case right now in the courts?
Andrew
3:59:19
No.
3:59:20
No.
3:59:20
No.
3:59:20
I was assaulted but I have no court case.
3:59:26
There's a court case called Socialist Workers' Party versus the attorney general where law enforcement make people homeless by getting them evicted and get people fired from their jobs.
3:59:35
The court case was in New York City, but law enforcement do this throughout America.
3:59:40
Like, Kaepernick, Steve Talley, so people throughout America, they do this too.
3:59:45
But the court case is in New York City.
Yusef Salaam
3:59:48
Gotcha.
3:59:49
What district are you in?
Andrew
3:59:51
I have no district because, again, law enforcement is forcing me to live on the streets because they blocked me from getting a job.
3:59:58
I'll go get a place to live.
4:00:01
I have no place to live.
4:00:02
So they forced me to live on the street, so so I have no district.
4:00:07
They constantly attack me every day.
Yusef Salaam
4:00:11
Okay.
4:00:11
So we're gonna we're gonna get your information and see if we can follow-up with you for sure.
Andrew
4:00:15
Okay.
4:00:15
Thank you.
Yusef Salaam
4:00:16
Thank you for your testimony.
