Here you go -- with my profound gratitude to you, both for the video and for standing up and speaking out when it really counted. Since the link you sent to YT was private, it did not include it in the post, but of course I can put that in there if you want.

Amy Loftus Castigates the Culver City Council, Which Approved Jab Crow

"Papers please is not something that I want to hear in any town in America. And that this council is proud to stand behind legislation like this, is disgusting. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. You're on the wrong path, and I think deep down you know it."

It's in the lineup for a spotlight on the Substack on January 11th.

Heads up: looks like the meeting date says 1/8/21 but it was 11/8/21. This is so awesome!!! I'm so glad this moment has been stamped- it was all just SO wrong!! Thanks again

Thanks for this, I have corrected it.

You will see that it appears in the List of Transcriptions as November 15, 2021. This is because the way I've done it from the beginning is to go with 15 day batches. Whatever the date, I batch it with everthing else that came in, up to the next 15 day mark, Jan 1, Jan 15, Feb 1, Feb 15, and so on.

Thank you for this!!! I switched it so you can share the link to the video. I look forward to the spotlight and will definitely share it with the Council. Thanks also for saying "when it counted" you're right. All Glory to God for the guts--hardest time of my life.

Thank you so much. I added the YT link.

That fall '21 and winter '22, so brutal, so bizarre. I will never forget it. One reason (among many) that I transcribe is that so many of us felt so alone, but these transcripts can show that in fact we were not. Not at all.

ThatтАЩs actually exactly what this has done, caused me to reflect on that moment and know I wasnтАЩt alone, we werenтАЩt alone. It was a perfect moment this morning with my coffee, to let it sink in.

Nice!!! I almost restacked it but IтАЩm going to write about this, and include your piece. Worth reflecting on. ItтАЩll be a break from my book. IтАЩm finding out why people just talk about writing them- HOOOOH. thanks again, you rock!

Thanks, it's been around a while. I was calling it Vax Crow back in 2021 and someone on a forum suggested that Jab Crow would be better.

Thanks for taking a look. It's one of the most powerful testimonies I have yet transcribed.
