Yeah.
3:27:57
Hello, Chair Hudson.
3:27:58
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson.
3:28:00
I'm calling on you as a chair of the agent committee to support intro in the state senate s nine nine two four a.
3:28:07
That that will make it a felony for anybody to assault a deliberista.
3:28:11
I know this is not transportation or consumer worker affairs, but there's a certain amount of the baristas in New York City that are elderly.
3:28:20
So I think that should count as part of the age committee.
3:28:24
So I am, advising.
3:28:26
I know that I think it's kinda late for f y twenty six, but I know that I know that Cuomo is gonna be the governor I mean, gonna be the mayor of New York City.
3:28:35
Cuomo is gonna win this, and I'm calling on the city council for f y twenty seven, f y '20 '8 to put a program to make the deliveries the Laristas start delivering food, like the food at Riseboro and helping hands the organization hand out the senior foods to the seniors.
3:28:53
I think they should be start doing delivering foods too because I have a big feeling that all those organizations like Riceboro are really overwhelmed and understaffed with delivering food to the seniors.
3:29:03
I think that the city council should implement a program to allow the laboristas to start delivering food to the seniors.
3:29:10
Not only it it could line it could help line the pockets of these nonprofits at the Worker Justice Project and Locumena, it could decrease the the workload and overwhelming of the workers at Riseboro and all these work organizations when it comes to delivering, like, when it comes to delivering the food to the people and is less and is it is more convenient when it could deliver it with a with a ebike.
3:29:35
They could you could you guys could easily buy out buy the the the equipment that they guys need to deliver the food to them.
3:29:42
And while at the same time, you should be able we should be able to start helping these guys get their driver licenses.
3:29:48
I know that a lot of these guys here are mostly migrants, and I know there's a anti immigrant sentiment in the city council with the commissants caucus.
3:29:56
At the same time, the city councils push police put, like, 25,000,000 into certain nonprofits that can get these guys these driver licenses, conditional driver licenses where they can only use the drive to work to deliver the food and back to where they pick up the food at.
3:30:15
I think the city council should be doing that when it comes to that.
3:30:18
And we need to support our seniors.
3:30:20
We need to make sure that they don't be abused by certain caregiver organizations, and the city council should be intimidated by certain nonprofits like CPC that intimidate council members into supporting them while at the same time intimidating the crap out of Christopher Marte and and trying to run someone against him like Jess Coleman for city council because he's calling the stuff out.
3:30:48
The city council should be more transparent when it comes to protecting elders.
3:30:52
If you really care about elders, you will support Christopher Marte in getting his bills passed to really put CPC in check.
3:30:58
Alright.
3:30:59
