Good morning, Wildcats.
Our yearbooks are in,
and congratulations to our Wildcat softball team.
You know what?
Those softball girls have really demonstrated
if you work hard, you can get to your dreams.
Dream big and work hard.
What's important to know is that when FDR passed
the original New Deal in the 1930s,
it protected many American workers.
However, it's also important for you to know
that the New Deal of the 1930s also excluded the protections
for agricultural workers and domestic workers.
So this is what that means.
It means that it completely perpetuated
the exclusion of descendants of enslaved people
for economic gains of the landowners.
Right. So basically black and brown people
were essentially left out
of getting worker protection in the United States.
That's why we have so many people in our community
and even your classmates who work in the fields,
because agricultural labor
is the only labor in the United States
where children as young as 12 years old
can still legally work unlimited hours
because they're not protected.

Alright.
Our group is Youth Growing Justice
and our problems that we saw in our community
that we are facing is violence,
food insecurity, and housing affordability.
2015 was our first year
making our project with the River Park Garden.
And it took about a year to have it set up and everything.
And it took a lot of people to come in.
But people were willing, actually, to come in
because the community garden that we did,
we made it in a. Well, we did it in a neighborhood
where there was a lot of poverty.
So after doing that, what we did was start collecting data
and analyzing the data.
So what we did, we came up with three different methods
to do interviews,
which are walkabouts, interviewing people and doing,
like, just recording them.
What they mostly said was that, you know,
like, they didn't have food.
The food they had was just fast food.
And one of the stories that we did hear
was that they either have to choose
between their medicine or the food.
So since organic food is really expensive,
they have to go towards fast foods
where it's just a dollar, like, a dollar burger
because they had to go towards their medicine.
Yeah.
So that's where we saw that there was food insecurity.
They're the one picking up the food
and they can't even afford it. So it's kind of sad.
