Beginning of Clip 3:
Advocate speaks:
“At the time of negotiations with Amtrack, our goal was to utilize already existing federal programs to help liberate the people from their horrendous living conditions. Our first step to helping these residents was to find them suitable housing whether it be in the form of shelters or government subsidized housing. Although we recieved resistance from them, we ultimately achieved the goal of improving their lives.” Â
To close the scene the resident will speak:
“Yea we went to the shelters- we had no choice. It was that or being killed. They refused our pleas to go away, they trashed our homes, they insulted us, and degraded our way of life. “
