00:00:00:00 00:00:04:18 A presentation of AIT. 00:00:06:19 00:00:07:25 >> It's messy. 00:00:07:25 00:00:09:24 It is freedom and it's rules. 00:00:09:24 00:00:10:24 It's rights 00:00:10:24 00:00:11:27 and responsibilities. 00:00:11:27 00:00:13:09 It's conflict and resolution. 00:00:13:09 00:00:14:12 >> Both empowerment 00:00:14:12 00:00:15:11 and compromise. 00:00:15:11 00:00:16:21 >> It is justice. 00:00:16:21 00:00:17:24 It is individual 00:00:17:24 00:00:19:01 and it's collective. 00:00:19:01 00:00:20:02 >> It's fairness, 00:00:20:02 00:00:21:29 respect and values. 00:00:21:29 00:00:23:15 >> It is equality. 00:00:23:15 00:00:24:22 It is truth. 00:00:24:22 00:00:25:23 It is government 00:00:25:23 00:00:26:23 and it's choices. 00:00:26:23 00:00:28:03 It's passionate. 00:00:28:03 00:00:29:13 It's problem solving. 00:00:29:13 00:00:31:12 It's action and it's possible. 00:00:31:12 00:00:32:19 It's me, my family 00:00:32:19 00:00:33:23 and my community. 00:00:33:23 00:00:35:07 "Democracy it is." 00:00:35:07 00:00:37:04 >> All: Democracy it is! 00:00:51:29 00:00:54:13 >> I don't believe it. 00:00:54:13 00:00:55:21 >> It looks like somebody 00:00:55:21 00:00:57:22 found our hiding spot again. 00:00:57:22 00:01:00:10 >> This is disgusting! 00:01:00:10 00:01:02:07 How could people do this? 00:01:02:07 00:01:03:16 >> We had to clean this up 00:01:03:16 00:01:05:23 before and now it's even worse. 00:01:05:23 00:01:07:04 Let's just go. 00:01:07:04 00:01:08:17 >> We can't just leave this spot 00:01:08:17 00:01:10:03 looking like this. 00:01:10:03 00:01:11:07 >> Why not? 00:01:11:07 00:01:12:15 This isn't our mess. 00:01:12:15 00:01:15:09 It's not like we threw it here. 00:01:15:09 00:01:16:25 >> Well, we have a choice. 00:01:16:25 00:01:17:29 We can either let this 00:01:17:29 00:01:19:03 keep happening 00:01:19:03 00:01:20:00 or we can try to change it. 00:01:20:00 00:01:21:06 >> Like how? 00:01:21:06 00:01:22:18 >> Go talk to someone. 00:01:22:18 00:01:24:05 Get other people involved, too. 00:01:24:05 00:01:25:14 >> I don't know, Haley, that 00:01:25:14 00:01:28:01 sounds like a lot of work to me. 00:01:28:01 00:01:29:07 >> It's up to you. 00:01:29:07 00:01:30:23 This is a great hideout. 00:01:30:23 00:01:32:04 Do you want to hang out here, 00:01:32:04 00:01:33:10 or not? 00:01:33:10 00:01:34:24 >> Well, I do like it here, 00:01:34:24 00:01:36:00 and it's close to home. 00:01:36:00 00:01:37:12 So, if we get any good ideas, 00:01:37:12 00:01:38:25 let's try them. 00:01:38:25 00:01:40:03 >> Let's start with getting as 00:01:40:03 00:01:41:09 much as the not-so-gross stuff 00:01:41:09 00:01:42:19 as we can for now, 00:01:42:19 00:01:44:12 and see what we can do later. 00:01:44:12 00:01:46:22 >> Okay, here, I've got a bag. 00:01:51:05 00:01:52:21 >> Oh! 00:01:52:21 00:01:54:11 My name is Quinn Haberl. 00:01:54:11 00:01:55:14 And I'm a black belt 00:01:55:14 00:01:58:16 in Tae Kwon Do. 00:01:58:16 00:02:01:07 I've always enjoyed singing. 00:02:01:07 00:02:03:01 § 'Til by turning § 00:02:03:01 00:02:06:22 § Turning we come out right § 00:02:09:11 00:02:10:27 And I am visually impaired, 00:02:10:27 00:02:12:17 which means that I see 00:02:12:17 00:02:14:21 a little bit, but not much. 00:02:14:21 00:02:16:22 When I was five years old, 00:02:16:22 00:02:18:03 I asked my parents 00:02:18:03 00:02:19:28 if I could get a guide dog. 00:02:19:28 00:02:20:26 And they said... 00:02:20:26 00:02:22:04 (buzzer sound) 00:02:22:04 00:02:23:09 No. 00:02:23:09 00:02:24:18 Because in the United States, 00:02:24:18 00:02:25:26 they do not provide guide dogs 00:02:25:26 00:02:27:28 to children under the age of 18. 00:02:29:21 00:02:30:26 There was a school 00:02:30:26 00:02:32:10 up in Montreal, Canada, that 00:02:32:10 00:02:34:13 gave guide dogs to children. 00:02:34:13 00:02:35:20 My dad flew me up to 00:02:35:20 00:02:37:08 the guide dog school, 00:02:37:08 00:02:38:22 where I stayed for one month 00:02:38:22 00:02:41:07 and trained with Coda. 00:02:41:07 00:02:42:28 And Coda has changed my life 00:02:42:28 00:02:44:17 so much. 00:02:44:17 00:02:45:24 Before I got Coda, 00:02:45:24 00:02:47:05 I would fall down stairs 00:02:47:05 00:02:48:08 and I would literally 00:02:48:08 00:02:49:29 walk into walls. 00:02:49:29 00:02:52:02 Now I have the freedom. 00:02:52:02 00:02:53:23 I can be a normal citizen 00:02:53:23 00:02:56:14 of my community. 00:02:56:14 00:02:57:19 Coda and I have the right 00:02:57:19 00:02:58:25 to be anywhere 00:02:58:25 00:03:00:12 that any other person can be 00:03:00:12 00:03:04:00 regardless of our disability. 00:03:04:00 00:03:05:06 It's a big responsibility 00:03:05:06 00:03:06:18 to have a guide dog. 00:03:06:18 00:03:08:03 Kids who can handle a guide dog 00:03:08:03 00:03:09:07 should be able 00:03:09:07 00:03:11:10 to experience the freedom 00:03:11:10 00:03:12:24 and should be able to experience 00:03:12:24 00:03:15:15 my dream coming true for them. 00:03:15:15 00:03:16:27 >> Quinn came home 00:03:16:27 00:03:18:16 from school one day, and said, 00:03:18:16 00:03:20:06 "What are the chances 00:03:20:06 00:03:21:16 that we could build 00:03:21:16 00:03:22:29 a guide dog school here 00:03:22:29 00:03:25:09 for kids in the United States?" 00:03:25:09 00:03:27:14 We are totally committed 00:03:27:14 00:03:30:02 to making this happen. 00:03:30:02 00:03:31:09 >> One the words that I learned 00:03:31:09 00:03:32:21 was "networking," and that's 00:03:32:21 00:03:34:12 getting the word out. 00:03:34:12 00:03:35:17 Talking to new people, 00:03:35:17 00:03:37:05 telling them about my dream 00:03:37:05 00:03:38:20 and telling them how their help 00:03:38:20 00:03:42:05 is greatly appreciated. 00:03:42:05 00:03:43:13 Well, this morning, I spoke 00:03:43:13 00:03:45:04 at the County Board because 00:03:45:04 00:03:47:09 we're looking for any sort of 00:03:47:09 00:03:48:25 help that we can get from them, 00:03:48:25 00:03:50:00 anything that they 00:03:50:00 00:03:53:20 can offer to us is awesome. 00:03:53:20 00:03:55:29 My dream is not complete 00:03:55:29 00:03:57:19 until I have made other 00:03:57:19 00:03:59:16 children's dreams come true 00:03:59:16 00:04:01:01 just as mine has, 00:04:01:01 00:04:02:05 with the building 00:04:02:05 00:04:03:15 of the first guide dog school 00:04:03:15 00:04:04:22 in the United States 00:04:04:22 00:04:06:06 for children, right here 00:04:06:06 00:04:08:07 in Marinette County, Wisconsin. 00:04:08:07 00:04:09:08 Thank you very much 00:04:09:08 00:04:11:13 for having me speak today. 00:04:11:13 00:04:12:24 (applause) 00:04:12:24 00:04:13:25 You've got to respect 00:04:13:25 00:04:15:01 other people's viewpoints, 00:04:15:01 00:04:16:09 so you should always listen, 00:04:16:09 00:04:17:11 even if you disagree 00:04:17:11 00:04:18:12 with somebody, 00:04:18:12 00:04:19:10 always listen 00:04:19:10 00:04:21:00 to what they have to say. 00:04:21:00 00:04:22:05 >> Community support 00:04:22:05 00:04:23:14 here in Marinette 00:04:23:14 00:04:24:24 has just been incredible. 00:04:24:24 00:04:26:07 >> We had a fundraiser, 00:04:26:07 00:04:27:08 a pet walk. 00:04:27:08 00:04:28:14 People in the community 00:04:28:14 00:04:31:02 are raising puppies for us. 00:04:31:02 00:04:32:07 It's just the people 00:04:32:07 00:04:33:14 coming forward and saying, 00:04:33:14 00:04:34:27 "We want to help." 00:04:34:27 00:04:36:01 And my family's 00:04:36:01 00:04:37:06 just been the best. 00:04:37:06 00:04:39:19 They're my support team. 00:04:39:19 00:04:41:00 I want to see the quality 00:04:41:00 00:04:42:04 of visually impaired 00:04:42:04 00:04:43:13 and blind children's life-- 00:04:43:13 00:04:44:18 I want to see the quality 00:04:44:18 00:04:45:23 of their life change, 00:04:45:23 00:04:47:24 because every kid has potential, 00:04:47:24 00:04:48:28 regardless of what disability 00:04:48:28 00:04:50:02 they have. 00:04:50:02 00:04:52:15 And no kid should forget that. 00:04:56:11 00:04:57:17 >> So, I talked to my soccer 00:04:57:17 00:04:58:23 coach last night. 00:04:58:23 00:04:59:26 She's also 00:04:59:26 00:05:01:05 a City Council member. 00:05:01:05 00:05:02:09 She told me everything 00:05:02:09 00:05:03:17 about City Council meetings 00:05:03:17 00:05:04:19 and how they work. 00:05:04:19 00:05:06:00 >> So, what will we be doing? 00:05:06:00 00:05:07:06 >> Basically, we have 00:05:07:06 00:05:08:19 ten minutes to present our ideas 00:05:08:19 00:05:09:27 to the City Council. 00:05:09:27 00:05:11:05 For now, our job is to get 00:05:11:05 00:05:12:23 all of our research organized. 00:05:12:23 00:05:14:01 Let's see what we've got. 00:05:14:01 00:05:15:07 >> Last week, I took lots 00:05:15:07 00:05:16:16 of pictures of city parks 00:05:16:16 00:05:17:23 that have litter problems. 00:05:17:23 00:05:19:05 >> Great, so we're set there. 00:05:19:05 00:05:20:13 >> And we have a lot of people 00:05:20:13 00:05:22:06 who agree with our surveys. 00:05:22:06 00:05:23:12 >> Yeah, and I can tell 00:05:23:12 00:05:24:18 from all the letters people have 00:05:24:18 00:05:26:02 been writing to the newspaper 00:05:26:02 00:05:27:18 that we're not the only ones 00:05:27:18 00:05:30:03 upset about all this litter. 00:05:30:03 00:05:31:20 >> Okay, and to fix this 00:05:31:20 00:05:32:29 problem, we agree that we need 00:05:32:29 00:05:34:08 more garbage cans, 00:05:34:08 00:05:35:21 more trash collection days 00:05:35:21 00:05:37:21 and more park signs, right? 00:05:37:21 00:05:38:22 >> Wait. 00:05:38:22 00:05:40:10 Why park signs? 00:05:40:10 00:05:41:14 >> Because when people see 00:05:41:14 00:05:42:23 park signs, they're less likely 00:05:42:23 00:05:44:13 to throw trash around. 00:05:44:13 00:05:45:16 They know that somebody 00:05:45:16 00:05:46:23 cares enough about the park 00:05:46:23 00:05:48:12 to put up a sign. 00:05:48:12 00:05:49:26 >> Hey, check it out. 00:05:49:26 00:05:51:03 Park signs seem to work 00:05:51:03 00:05:52:10 pretty well in these other 00:05:52:10 00:05:53:13 communities. 00:05:53:13 00:05:54:17 >> Hey, how about we bring 00:05:54:17 00:05:55:21 some garbage we found 00:05:55:21 00:05:57:24 at the park, like that old tire? 00:05:57:24 00:05:59:18 >> Let's see if we can find 00:05:59:18 00:06:01:21 another way to do that. 00:06:01:21 00:06:03:16 Like this poster of pictures, 00:06:03:16 00:06:05:09 our survey and some other parts 00:06:05:09 00:06:06:24 of our research. 00:06:06:24 00:06:07:27 >> We've definitely got 00:06:07:27 00:06:09:18 a lot of information collected. 00:06:09:18 00:06:10:25 >> Yeah, this presentation 00:06:10:25 00:06:13:11 is gonna be awesome! 00:06:22:00 00:06:23:01 >> Nerstrand School 00:06:23:01 00:06:24:26 is a service learning school. 00:06:24:26 00:06:28:01 And we do all sorts of projects. 00:06:28:01 00:06:29:13 >> We're making sandwiches 00:06:29:13 00:06:31:03 for the Simpson Homeless Shelter 00:06:31:03 00:06:33:13 in Minneapolis. 00:06:33:13 00:06:34:14 >> People need food 00:06:34:14 00:06:35:26 at the homeless shelter. 00:06:35:26 00:06:37:27 And we'll always try to help 00:06:37:27 00:06:42:27 people that are struggling. 00:06:42:27 00:06:44:17 >> We have a responsibility 00:06:44:17 00:06:46:19 for each other, our school 00:06:46:19 00:06:49:24 and our community. 00:06:49:24 00:06:52:18 >> We're planting acorns. 00:06:52:18 00:06:54:29 And once they grow, 00:06:54:29 00:06:56:12 we're going to take them 00:06:56:12 00:06:57:28 out of the pots and plant them 00:06:57:28 00:06:59:10 in the big woods. 00:06:59:10 00:07:01:12 We learned that we need trees 00:07:01:12 00:07:04:03 for oxygen, you know, 'cause 00:07:04:03 00:07:07:16 we need oxygen to live. 00:07:07:16 00:07:09:01 >> At our school, we think 00:07:09:01 00:07:10:06 it's very important 00:07:10:06 00:07:11:21 that it's not the adults 00:07:11:21 00:07:13:09 that make all the decisions 00:07:13:09 00:07:14:13 for the children, 00:07:14:13 00:07:15:19 especially when it 00:07:15:19 00:07:16:28 comes to service learning. 00:07:16:28 00:07:18:14 >> We also need new ideas 00:07:18:14 00:07:20:09 for service projects. 00:07:20:09 00:07:23:02 What are your suggestions? 00:07:23:02 00:07:24:18 >> We can go around Nerstrand 00:07:24:18 00:07:26:11 and pick up garbage. 00:07:26:11 00:07:27:15 >> Everybody has a say 00:07:27:15 00:07:28:22 in this school. 00:07:28:22 00:07:30:02 >> There are lots of committees 00:07:30:02 00:07:31:25 and the student's voice 00:07:31:25 00:07:33:04 is heard. 00:07:33:04 00:07:34:10 >> Like a few kids from 00:07:34:10 00:07:35:25 every homeroom is in 00:07:35:25 00:07:37:17 the "Learn and Serve" group. 00:07:37:17 00:07:39:01 >> The Learn and Serve students 00:07:39:01 00:07:40:21 meet, and then they're 00:07:40:21 00:07:42:16 responsible for taking back 00:07:42:16 00:07:45:25 information to the homerooms. 00:07:45:25 00:07:47:03 >> Our ideas come from 00:07:47:03 00:07:49:08 our homerooms. 00:07:49:08 00:07:50:12 >> So, then we'd go back 00:07:50:12 00:07:51:26 to Learn and Serve and then 00:07:51:26 00:07:53:05 we'd figure out what would be 00:07:53:05 00:07:54:16 the best idea. 00:07:54:16 00:07:55:26 >> So we're going to break 00:07:55:26 00:07:57:03 into our homeroom groups. 00:07:57:03 00:07:58:11 And you are going to go over 00:07:58:11 00:07:59:16 the list of ideas that 00:07:59:16 00:08:01:08 your homeroom came up with. 00:08:01:08 00:08:02:15 And you're going to narrow 00:08:02:15 00:08:04:15 those down to the top five. 00:08:04:15 00:08:05:29 Okay? 00:08:05:29 00:08:07:20 Talk about-- 00:08:07:20 00:08:08:24 'Cause some of you might have 00:08:08:24 00:08:10:20 different opinions. 00:08:10:20 00:08:11:21 >> Then we could do, 00:08:11:21 00:08:13:04 like, games. 00:08:13:04 00:08:14:10 >> Yeah. 00:08:14:10 00:08:15:16 >> If we didn't have respect 00:08:15:16 00:08:16:21 in our committee meeting, 00:08:16:21 00:08:17:23 everybody would be 00:08:17:23 00:08:18:28 fighting all the time, and 00:08:18:28 00:08:20:08 we wouldn't get anything done. 00:08:20:08 00:08:21:12 >> It's really important 00:08:21:12 00:08:22:14 for them to know how 00:08:22:14 00:08:23:18 to problem solve, 00:08:23:18 00:08:25:01 how to work as a team. 00:08:25:01 00:08:26:19 >> Everybody gets to decide. 00:08:26:19 00:08:28:11 >> When you give kids choice, 00:08:28:11 00:08:30:02 they, I think have a feeling 00:08:30:02 00:08:34:06 more of it's their projects. 00:08:34:06 00:08:35:27 Kids understand that you 00:08:35:27 00:08:37:24 can really make a difference 00:08:37:24 00:08:39:05 in the world by reaching out 00:08:39:05 00:08:40:24 to others. 00:08:40:24 00:08:42:01 >> I know what I've learned here 00:08:42:01 00:08:44:06 I'll always remember. 00:08:51:24 00:08:52:24 >> Wow, who knew that 00:08:52:24 00:08:53:25 a City Council meeting could be 00:08:53:25 00:08:54:24 so exciting? 00:08:54:24 00:08:55:28 >> Yeah, but we still didn't get 00:08:55:28 00:08:57:01 everything we asked for. 00:08:57:01 00:08:57:27 They didn't give us 00:08:57:27 00:08:58:23 a "yes" or a "no" 00:08:58:23 00:08:59:22 on our idea for more 00:08:59:22 00:09:00:22 garbage cans and park signs. 00:09:00:22 00:09:01:20 >> And they said more 00:09:01:20 00:09:02:20 trash collecting days 00:09:02:20 00:09:04:01 are definitely out. 00:09:04:01 00:09:05:03 The parks department is 00:09:05:03 00:09:07:00 stretched to the limit on that. 00:09:07:00 00:09:09:01 >> Well, my mom has a saying. 00:09:09:01 00:09:10:28 "We're one voice among many." 00:09:10:28 00:09:12:23 >> What does that mean? 00:09:12:23 00:09:14:00 >> It means that there's a lot 00:09:14:00 00:09:14:27 of needs and ideas 00:09:14:27 00:09:16:06 for the Council to consider 00:09:16:06 00:09:17:28 along with ours. 00:09:17:28 00:09:19:03 >> And I sure wasn't expecting 00:09:19:03 00:09:21:03 that one guy to talk tonight. 00:09:21:03 00:09:22:14 He might have blown our chances 00:09:22:14 00:09:24:12 just to get this done. 00:09:24:12 00:09:25:15 >> Well, I understand 00:09:25:15 00:09:26:27 what he was saying, signs 00:09:26:27 00:09:28:14 and garbage cans just being 00:09:28:14 00:09:29:27 more clutter in our parks. 00:09:29:27 00:09:31:26 I just don't agree with him. 00:09:31:26 00:09:33:02 It isn't like we wanted 00:09:33:02 00:09:34:11 to add a fast food restaurant, 00:09:34:11 00:09:35:19 or something. 00:09:35:19 00:09:36:25 >> Why did he say people should 00:09:36:25 00:09:38:18 be taking out their own trash? 00:09:38:18 00:09:39:22 They aren't doing that 00:09:39:22 00:09:41:07 and that's the problem. 00:09:41:07 00:09:42:19 >> Yeah, but it was really cool 00:09:42:19 00:09:43:21 when that same guy 00:09:43:21 00:09:44:26 came up to us afterwards and 00:09:44:26 00:09:46:22 told us what a great job we did. 00:09:46:22 00:09:47:26 >> I guess people really can 00:09:47:26 00:09:49:19 disagree about important things 00:09:49:19 00:09:51:27 and still be respectful. 00:09:51:27 00:09:53:21 >> It's still taking forever, 00:09:53:21 00:09:55:04 and now we have to wait 00:09:55:04 00:09:56:27 another week. 00:09:56:27 00:09:58:09 >> It's taken us a month 00:09:58:09 00:09:59:24 to get this far. 00:09:59:24 00:10:01:10 These things take time. 00:10:01:10 00:10:03:03 >> You can say that again. 00:10:14:08 00:10:15:15 >> San Pablo is like, across 00:10:15:15 00:10:19:26 the Bay of San Francisco. 00:10:19:26 00:10:24:03 Our schools are in need badly. 00:10:24:03 00:10:25:07 >> If an earthquake 00:10:25:07 00:10:28:00 happens here, they're not safe. 00:10:28:00 00:10:29:16 >> We need more textbooks 00:10:29:16 00:10:30:24 for our school, because 00:10:30:24 00:10:32:10 we can't learn without them. 00:10:32:10 00:10:33:10 >> There was like, 00:10:33:10 00:10:34:20 no toilet paper and no water, 00:10:34:20 00:10:36:26 you know, for your hands. 00:10:36:26 00:10:37:28 >> So why does their 00:10:37:28 00:10:39:11 public school look like 00:10:39:11 00:10:41:12 it's about to fall apart? 00:10:41:12 00:10:42:15 >> And you know, we're wondering 00:10:42:15 00:10:43:26 why that is, because 00:10:43:26 00:10:45:00 supposedly everybody 00:10:45:00 00:10:46:01 is supposed to be equal, 00:10:46:01 00:10:47:00 you know, everybody 00:10:47:00 00:10:49:04 has equal rights here. 00:10:49:04 00:10:50:04 >> That's when they were able 00:10:50:04 00:10:51:08 to see with their own eyes, 00:10:51:08 00:10:52:11 this is unjust; 00:10:52:11 00:10:53:16 this is unfair. 00:10:53:16 00:10:54:19 So one kid started talking 00:10:54:19 00:10:55:22 to another kid. 00:10:55:22 00:10:56:26 And then there started 00:10:56:26 00:10:57:27 to be conversations 00:10:57:27 00:10:59:02 out in the classroom, 00:10:59:02 00:11:00:06 out on the playground. 00:11:00:06 00:11:01:13 And kids were like, 00:11:01:13 00:11:02:18 what if we come together? 00:11:02:18 00:11:03:26 So, we had a huge meeting 00:11:03:26 00:11:05:08 in the auditorium. 00:11:05:08 00:11:06:14 And then, the idea of the March 00:11:06:14 00:11:08:08 came about. 00:11:08:08 00:11:09:11 The March 4 education 00:11:09:11 00:11:11:00 was a 70-mile march 00:11:11:00 00:11:13:00 all the way to the state capital 00:11:13:00 00:11:14:14 in Sacramento. 00:11:14:14 00:11:15:18 >> We're marching 70 miles 00:11:15:18 00:11:16:23 to bring attention to the fact 00:11:16:23 00:11:18:04 that the schools in our district 00:11:18:04 00:11:19:10 are not equal to the schools 00:11:19:10 00:11:20:12 throughout the rest 00:11:20:12 00:11:21:15 of the state. 00:11:21:15 00:11:22:28 >> The march started when 00:11:22:28 00:11:25:16 we were in our spring break. 00:11:25:16 00:11:27:06 >> Kids made the choice. 00:11:27:06 00:11:28:14 I'm not going to be watching TV 00:11:28:14 00:11:29:13 or playing video games 00:11:29:13 00:11:30:17 during my spring break. 00:11:30:17 00:11:31:25 I'm going to march 00:11:31:25 00:11:34:01 about 12 miles a day. 00:11:36:03 00:11:37:24 That's the choice the kids made. 00:11:37:24 00:11:39:01 They convinced their parents 00:11:39:01 00:11:40:02 this is something 00:11:40:02 00:11:41:24 that was within their rights. 00:11:41:24 00:11:42:22 >> Everybody has the right 00:11:42:22 00:11:44:02 to be heard. 00:11:44:02 00:11:45:26 That's why we were marching. 00:11:45:26 00:11:47:01 >> I was leading 00:11:47:01 00:11:48:20 the slogans. 00:11:48:20 00:11:49:25 >> Marchers: What do we want? 00:11:49:25 00:11:50:26 Education! 00:11:50:26 00:11:52:03 >> What do we want? 00:11:52:03 00:11:53:07 Education. 00:11:53:07 00:11:54:14 When do we want it? 00:11:54:14 00:11:55:25 Now. 00:11:55:25 00:11:57:04 >> Everybody around 00:11:57:04 00:11:58:17 was cheering cheers, 00:11:58:17 00:11:59:21 talking about the problems 00:11:59:21 00:12:01:28 in our community. 00:12:01:28 00:12:03:02 >> Some people came out 00:12:03:02 00:12:04:12 of their houses 00:12:04:12 00:12:05:28 just to march at least one mile. 00:12:05:28 00:12:07:20 >> So we were passing a bridge, 00:12:07:20 00:12:09:07 and people under the freeway, 00:12:09:07 00:12:10:27 they were honking at us. 00:12:10:27 00:12:12:04 Telling you, you know, 00:12:12:04 00:12:13:05 we believe what you're doing 00:12:13:05 00:12:14:20 is right, so keep on doing it. 00:12:14:20 00:12:16:05 That's when I felt like, really, 00:12:16:05 00:12:19:05 I was making a difference. 00:12:19:05 00:12:20:25 >> I think marching in the 00:12:20:25 00:12:22:15 group was an effective way 00:12:22:15 00:12:24:13 to show people that 00:12:24:13 00:12:26:03 not only one person thinks 00:12:26:03 00:12:27:24 that we need our education. 00:12:27:24 00:12:29:28 >> Once a student finds out 00:12:29:28 00:12:31:08 there's an injustice, 00:12:31:08 00:12:33:27 yes, you have rights. 00:12:33:27 00:12:35:17 You have the right to protest. 00:12:35:17 00:12:37:11 You have the right to speak out. 00:12:37:11 00:12:38:23 But you also have 00:12:38:23 00:12:40:23 a responsibility to speak up. 00:12:40:23 00:12:42:06 And to do it in a way that's 00:12:42:06 00:12:43:24 going to bring people together. 00:12:43:24 00:12:45:05 >> You should also show 00:12:45:05 00:12:46:12 what you think, 00:12:46:12 00:12:48:03 not keep it to yourself. 00:12:48:03 00:12:50:09 Because then later on, 00:12:50:09 00:12:52:09 you might be complaining, 00:12:52:09 00:12:53:27 and it might also be your fault 00:12:53:27 00:12:54:27 because you 00:12:54:27 00:12:56:13 didn't say something. 00:12:56:13 00:12:57:19 >> Podiamos hacer algo 00:12:57:19 00:13:00:04 por nuestra communidad. 00:13:00:04 00:13:01:13 >> And they did see changes. 00:13:01:13 00:13:02:27 So, now the local elementary 00:13:02:27 00:13:04:08 school is going to get changes, 00:13:04:08 00:13:05:21 it is going to get renovated. 00:13:05:21 00:13:06:27 >> The march made a change 00:13:06:27 00:13:07:26 in my life 00:13:07:26 00:13:09:17 because my voice could be heard. 00:13:12:10 00:13:13:24 >> This sign looks great! 00:13:13:24 00:13:14:21 >> And the garbage can 00:13:14:21 00:13:15:21 fits right in! 00:13:15:21 00:13:16:16 >> Hey, you two, 00:13:16:16 00:13:19:21 come look at our hideout! 00:13:19:21 00:13:20:26 Wow! 00:13:20:26 00:13:24:06 What a difference! 00:13:24:06 00:13:25:01 >> Whoa! 00:13:25:01 00:13:25:28 It looks like 00:13:25:28 00:13:26:28 our old place again. 00:13:26:28 00:13:28:04 Even better! 00:13:28:04 00:13:29:08 >> This was a lot easier 00:13:29:08 00:13:30:11 than I thought. 00:13:30:11 00:13:31:12 >> Is this the same guy 00:13:31:12 00:13:32:12 that was complaining 00:13:32:12 00:13:33:29 about how hard this was? 00:13:33:29 00:13:36:09 >> Okay, so, it wasn't easy. 00:13:36:09 00:13:38:13 >> It was a lot of work. 00:13:38:13 00:13:39:17 >> Yes, but it all seems 00:13:39:17 00:13:41:00 worth it. 00:13:41:00 00:13:42:09 I didn't think we stood a chance 00:13:42:09 00:13:43:15 when we decided to take on 00:13:43:15 00:13:45:18 this problem. 00:13:45:18 00:13:46:24 >> But we still didn't get 00:13:46:24 00:13:48:08 everything we asked for. 00:13:48:08 00:13:49:11 And I thought we made 00:13:49:11 00:13:50:15 a pretty good case for those 00:13:50:15 00:13:52:05 extra trash collection days. 00:13:52:05 00:13:53:05 >> True. 00:13:53:05 00:13:54:19 But that's the reality 00:13:54:19 00:13:55:29 of making a change like this. 00:13:55:29 00:13:57:23 There's lots to think about. 00:13:57:23 00:13:59:28 That's how this stuff goes. 00:13:59:28 00:14:01:15 >> Yes, but the important thing 00:14:01:15 00:14:02:19 is that we didn't give up 00:14:02:19 00:14:03:21 and we did make 00:14:03:21 00:14:05:10 some good changes. 00:14:05:10 00:14:06:16 >> Yeah, this definitely was 00:14:06:16 00:14:08:04 a group effort. 00:14:08:04 00:14:09:24 >> All right, so we're ready 00:14:09:24 00:14:11:25 for the next project, right? 00:14:11:25 00:14:13:08 >> Next project? 00:14:13:08 00:14:14:07 >> Let's see if we can 00:14:14:07 00:14:15:14 get the City Council 00:14:15:14 00:14:17:17 to clean up my bedroom. 00:14:17:17 00:14:19:27 >> Yeah, right. 00:14:22:28 00:14:28:09 >> To learn more about our program, visit our Web site: democracyitis.ecb.org
