unreasonable00:44:38.606 --> 00:44:40.982allocation of resources,'cause it is.00:44:40.982 --> 00:44:43.023In order to get helpfrom the federal government,00:44:43.023 --> 00:44:47.315you typically

system00:45:02.439 --> 00:45:04.648by the sensethat they could have00:45:04.648 --> 00:45:08.357or should havehelped themselves.00:45:08.898 --> 00:45:12.857But that is our historyand our

00:45:41.982- Every year, a onetimefederally funded subsidy00:45:41.982 --> 00:45:46.439of $150 is availablefor those who qualify00:45:46.439 --> 00:45:49.439as long as the moneydoesn't run

00:45:57.982Hold them in your hand now.00:45:57.982 --> 00:46:01.982- They had a cooling program,and then they ran out of money,00:46:01.982 --> 00:46:06.606so that cooling program lastedabout two or three days.00:46:06.606 --> 00:46:09.773Many people did not get helpwho needed it.00:46:09.773 --> 00:46:12.648But there are morethan a hundred intake sites00:46:12.648 --> 00:46:14.232in the city like ours here,00:46:14.232 --> 00:46:18.439so there's hundreds of peopleapplying at the same time.00:46:18.439 --> 00:46:21.565So that money just goeslike that.00:46:28.399 --> 00:46:30.399- How old

00:46:43.690by where we're puttingour money.00:46:43.690 --> 00:46:47.982People want those resourcesto be at standby00:46:47.982 --> 00:46:52.773in case they are experiencingan earthquake00:46:52.773 --> 00:46:55.690or a fire or a floodor a hurricane,00:46:55.690 --> 00:46:58.149because they can imaginethat happening to them.00:46:58.149 --> 00:47:01.440A white person cannoteasily imagine what it is00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:05.023to be a person of colorin a community00:47:05.023 --> 00:47:09.565that doesn't have accessto good food or medical care.00:47:11.731 --> 00:47:13.481- Have you ever hada

don't have to worryabout that.00:47:33.439 --> 00:47:36.315We have state-funded programsthat will pay for the cost.00:47:36.315 --> 00:47:37.815- When the last timeyou had a mammogram?00:47:37.815 --> 00:47:40.190- What I came to learnis this:00:47:40.190 --> 00:47:43.107communities that aremost vulnerable every day00:47:43.107 --> 00:47:45.523are forced to relyon their own ingenuity00:47:45.523 --> 00:47:49.439and very meager resourcesto respond to the crisis00:47:49.439 --> 00:47:52.149that most everyone elseignores,00:47:52.149 --> 00:47:53.439like the communityhealth workers00:47:53.439 --> 00:47:55.648from the SinaiUrban Health Institute,00:47:55.648 --> 00:47:57.439who spend their daysreaching out to women00:47:57.439 --> 00:48:01.898who suffer breast cancerdeaths at a rate 40% higher00:48:01.898 --> 00:48:05.565than the white womenon the other side of town.00:48:05.898 --> 00:48:07.815- Every day,I go into an exam room,00:48:07.815 --> 00:48:10.690and I work with peoplethat have medical conditions,00:48:10.690 --> 00:48:15.107much of which could have beenprevented or at least made00:48:15.107 --> 00:48:17.357much easier to deal withif they had00:48:17.357 --> 00:48:21.232the structural conditionsthey need to stay healthy.00:48:21.523 --> 00:48:23.523- Which is a problemthat Orrin Williams00:48:23.523 --> 00:48:26.439and Chicago's first-everurban organic farm,00:48:26.439 --> 00:48:30.648Growing Home,were trying to help tackle.00:48:32.940 --> 00:48:34.357Someone said to me it's easier00:48:34.357 --> 00:48:37.439to buy a gun around herethan a tomato.00:48:38.648 --> 00:48:41.940- I wouldn't say that,00:48:41.940 --> 00:48:43.898although it's true.00:48:43.898 --> 00:48:47.648Standing where we are now--let me see.00:48:47.648 --> 00:48:50.315Where would you goget a tomato?00:48:50.315 --> 00:48:55.439Okay, I have to thinkabout that long and hard.00:48:58.481 --> 00:49:02.274Some people describecommunities on the South Side00:49:02.274 --> 00:49:03.232as food deserts.00:49:03.232 --> 00:49:07.439The problem in our communitiesis, there's food there,00:49:07.439 --> 00:49:08.815but it's low-quality.00:49:08.815 --> 00:49:11.023[cash register beeping]00:49:12.439 --> 00:49:15.399[indistinct chatter]00:49:15.399 --> 00:49:17.440- Do what I tell you, now.- Okay.00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:19.149- Didn't I call

cents.00:49:26.439 --> 00:49:30.065- Growing Home is respondingto multiple problems,00:49:30.065 --> 00:49:33.439not just the lack of freshaffordable vegetables00:49:33.439 --> 00:49:35.149and the diseasethat goes with it00:49:35.149 --> 00:49:39.232but job training for peoplewho've served time in prison00:49:39.232 --> 00:49:40.439and the isolation of seniors,00:49:40.439 --> 00:49:44.190who often feel at riskin their own communities.00:49:44.190 --> 00:49:47.232On top of that,the gardens are beautiful00:49:47.232 --> 00:49:50.440and can even helpcool the neighborhood,00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:51.982all of which makesa difference00:49:51.982 --> 00:49:54.439in the midst of any disaster.00:49:54.439 --> 00:49:57.315Would you call thisa heat emergency plan?00:49:57.315 --> 00:50:00.439- No, I think the term"human emergency"00:50:00.439 --> 00:50:02.731is the most appropriate term.00:50:03.065 --> 00:50:05.898- I left Orrinfeeling somewhat hopeful.00:50:05.898 --> 00:50:07.065- This
