that we as youth and students of color are continually navigating through the unfamiliar waters of academia. i am just now getting familiarized with my own people's history, culture, and heritage at the age of 19 years old. what i wouldn't have given to know the resilient strength of our people at an earlier age, but unfortunately, our people have faced so many attacks in our home country that our people are forced to migrate here to the united states due to words of aggression, labor, export policies, and advanced militarized policies. our brothers and sisters base these attacks in their homelands and were displaced. instead, what they are receiving are attacks in the bay area. [ stand by ] >> clerk: if you are speaking and not on the list or your name was not acknowledged, then we are going to ask you not to speak. i did not want to interrupt because you are on a time frame, but we have had several speakers that are speaking that were not on the list. people have been waiting this evening to be able to speak and have submitted their names. please be respectful of that. thank you. >> my na

your thoughts about what's going on in academia and why republicans don't take seriously about achieving ideological diversity. >> i work for turning point u.s.a. and this is what we are confronting head-on. i think ought reason democrats and republicans alike don't take it seriously because they don't understand how bad it has gotten. conservative thinkers are under attack. you have students against white supremacy that shout down student for capitalism. they are socialists. they refer to people who wear blue blazers as the symbol of white supremacy. i was at a campus in minnesota that said somebody wearing a blue blazer was the costume for white supremacy. lou: that is stunning. that's one i hadn't heard before. there is so much that's being ginned up by the left in this country. watching the dimms at gina haspel's confirmation hearing. those are some of the nastiest people i have ever seen. utterly disgusting. >> it's so typical unfortunately of democrats in the last 10-15 years for them to turn something so crucial and important as this nomination into a stupid partisan fight in whic

i spent five years in academia uncertain about what it could be leading me and when i returned to mexico city five years later, it seems to me that mexico city environmental issues have only increased in my absence. i personally experienced a week without water on my apartment so it was really like shocking that such a city of mexico is having this huge problem and we need to address them. i had a much knowledge but little practice so i decided it was time to set out my own to solve solutions with the growing need in mexico city that is to address the food waste. organic waste management, especially in the mega cities like mexico city is carrying many logistical challenges and a lot of environmental impacts. particularly because people took enough care doing a good sorting of the waste and there's not a secondary market he on organic waste precisely so there's were my years in banking so i took my study on financial background and began thinking about how to create a economy in in order to reduce waste impact. i started with the two amazing partners to focus on assistance and in the city
