00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,235
Hello.
I'm Don L. Rivers,

2
00:00:02,335 --> 00:00:04,337
your candidate
for Mayor of Seattle.

3
00:00:04,437 --> 00:00:07,073
The condition of our city
is critical.

4
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:08,708
We are in the middle
of redefining

5
00:00:08,808 --> 00:00:10,377
our lives
in the present

6
00:00:10,477 --> 00:00:13,213
and what it will become
in the future.

7
00:00:13,313 --> 00:00:15,048
Seattle citizens
are strong,

8
00:00:15,148 --> 00:00:17,817
hardworking,
and caring people.

9
00:00:17,917 --> 00:00:21,187
We are devoted to accepting
change for the better.

10
00:00:21,287 --> 00:00:22,922
Now is that time.

11
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:25,058
We must develop
bold leaders.

12
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:27,193
We must listen
to each other

13
00:00:27,293 --> 00:00:30,030
and, together, change
negatives to positives

14
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:32,532
for the present
and our future.

15
00:00:32,632 --> 00:00:35,135
Yes, we have work
to do.

16
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:36,369
Know this --

17
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:40,507
homelessness must not exist
in Seattle.

18
00:00:40,607 --> 00:00:43,543
I will reconstruct
our police department

19
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:45,912
because Black lives
do matter.

20
00:00:46,012 --> 00:00:48,048
We are the city
of destiny,

21
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:49,883
a place where
quality lives

22
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:52,552
will always
be developed.

23
00:00:52,652 --> 00:00:54,454
I will pledge
to develop

24
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:56,156
a new stream
of revenue.

25
00:00:56,256 --> 00:00:59,059
I will work hard
to create new leaders

26
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:00,527
skilled with
the three L's --

27
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:03,997
the ability to listen,
learn, and then lead.

28
00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:07,534
We are a city destined to become
culturally competent

29
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:11,604
of one another's needs,
desires to prosper.

30
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:14,674
We will monitor
our environment

31
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:17,544
and create appropriate
change necessary.

32
00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:20,213
We will remember
our indigenous tribes

33
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:23,016
and their desire to work
to move forward.

34
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:24,851
We will find
new locations

35
00:01:24,951 --> 00:01:28,321
for our preschool children
and their care.

36
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:29,989
I look forward
to developing

37
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:34,094
our disaster and pandemic
readiness program.

38
00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:37,197
I will look forward to
working with our youth

39
00:01:37,297 --> 00:01:41,367
and the young adults
to develop a program

40
00:01:41,468 --> 00:01:43,570
that will keep
dangerous drivers

41
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:45,839
off our streets
and freeways.

42
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:48,174
I need your vote,
your support.

43
00:01:48,274 --> 00:01:49,642
The change is here.

44
00:01:49,742 --> 00:01:53,179
I'm Don L. Rivers.
Black lives do matter.
