>> Christina: A LOOK AT WHAT'S INVOLVED IN CITY CONCIL DISTRICTS IN PHOENIX AND A LOCAL GROUP THAT'S EMPOWERING AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN AND GIRLS AND AN EFFORT FOR YOUNG VICTIMS TO RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM SUPERHEROS.

THAT'S NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON.

>> WELCOME.

A GRAND JURY HAS SPENT THE DAY HEARING EVIDENCE AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS IN THAT STATE.

AS OF LATE AFTERNOON, NO INDICTMENT.

GEORGIA COURT OFFICIALS POSTED CRIMINAL CHARGES BUT IT CHARGES AND A SPOKESPERSON SAID IT WAS INACCURATE AND IT INCLUDED CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FALSE STATEMENTS AND SOLICITATION BY A PUBLIC OFFICER.

MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TEAM SAYS AN INDICTMENT IS IMMINENT.

DONALD TRUMP IS TACKING THE FEDERAL JUDGE OVER THE ELECTION'S CONSPIRACY CASE.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT MADE POSTS EARLY TODAY ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK CALLING U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE TANYA CHURKAN BIASED AND UNFAIR.

>>> THE DEATH TOLL FROM THE FIRE IN MAUI IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN THE COMING DAYS AND HAWAII'S GOVERNOR TOLD CBS MORNING SAID THEY COULD FIND 10 TO 20 PEOPLE AS WORK CONTINUES.

THOUGH HE ADDED IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GUESS.

AS CELL PHONE SERVICE HAS BEEN RESERVED, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE DROPPED FROM TWO HOW 2,000 TO 1500.

>>> EVERY TEN YEARS THE CITY OF PHOENIX WILL REDRAW BOUNDARIES AND THEY HAVE ADDED PEOPLE SINCE THE LAST REDISTRICTING AND SOME HAVE GROWN CONSIDERABLY.

JOINING US TO DISCUSS THE PROCESS IS DENISE ARCHIBALD, THE CITY CLERK FOR THE CITY OF PHOENIX.

THANKS FOR COMING IN.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> SOME PEOPLE THINK REDISTRICTING AND POLITICIANS ARE READY TO GET IN AND DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND WHAT IS THIS PROCESS?

>> EVERY TEN YEARS, WE DO REDISTRICTING AND TO MAINTAIN IMPARTIALITY AND TO MAKE SURE IT'S A FAIR PROCESS AND WE GET A CONSULTANT AND SO THIS YEAR, WE RECEIVED AUTHORIZATION TO ENGAGE WITH BRIDGE CONSULTING AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT COLLECT ALL OF THE DATA AND IT'S A DATA-DRIVEN PROCESS.

SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE IS LOOKING AT THE 2020 CENSUS AND SEE WHAT WERE CHANGES IN POPULATION GROWTH AND EQUALIZE THAT POPULATION FOR EACH DISTRICT.

>> Christina: THE ACTUAL REDRAWING OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF GOALS, I GUESS, THAT THE CONSULTANT HAS AND CAN YOU ADDRESS THOSE?

>> WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW, WE DISCOVERED, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, EACH OF THE DISTRICTS GREW AND SOME DRUMORE THAN OTHERS DREW MORE THAN OTHERS.

THERE ARE PRINCIPALS THAT WE NEED TO FOLLOW AND SOME ARE LEGAL PRINCIPLES.

MAINTAINING THE VOTING RIGHT'S ACT AND OTHER PRINCIPLES.

FOR EXAMPLE, COMPACTNESS, CONTINUITY AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, NOT OUTDISTRICT THE INCUMBENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> Christina: IT'S SO THAT THE DISTRICTS ARE COMPACT AND NOT SQUIGGLY LINES, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT.

>> Christina: HOW WILL THE OPTIONING BEOPTIONS BE PRESENTED?

>> SO WHAT WE DO IS WE GO TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE CONSULTANT, THEY LOOKED AT THE DATA AND WE WENT AND DID ROUND ONE OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND WE DID THAT IN JUNE, BASICALLY.

AT THAT TIME, WE LET EVERYONE KNOW IT'S TIME FOR REDISTRICTING AND THIS IS WHERE TO GO AND WE HAVE A WEBSITE, PHOENIXREDISTRICTING.COM.

THESE ARE A FEW MAPS THAT ARE OPTIONS OR ALTERNATIVES AND THEN THEY'LL BE ABLE TO COMMENT ON THOSE AND THEN THE CONCIL WILL DECIDE THE FINAL MAPS IN DECEMBER.

>> Christina: THE COUNCIL WILL BE PRESENTED WITH OPTIONS OR, LIKE, HERE IS HOW EVERYTHING THINKS DISTRICT ONE SHOULD LOOK AND THREE AND FOUR.

>> IT'S ONE OR A FEW, DEFENSE DEPENDING WHAT THE CONSULTANT COMES UP WITH TO LAND ON ONE MAP WITH THE NEW BOUNDARIES.

>> Christina: THE GOAL IS FOR EACH DISTRICT TO BE AS CLOSE TO 201,000 AND AN ODD NUMBER, THIS ISWHICHIS LARGER THAN THE ENTIRE CITY OF TEMPE.

THERE HAVE BEEN IN COUNCIL MEETINGS THAT I'VE ATTENDED VAGUE DISCUSSION THAT PHOENIX NEEDS MORE COUNCIL DISTRICTS BECAUSE FOR ONE PERSON TO SERVE THAT MANY PEOPLE IS A LOT.

THAT'S A SEPARATE PROCESS.

>> WE'VE HEARD FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND THE GROG THAT PHOENIX HAS HAD, THEY WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.

THAT'S A CHANGE TO THE CITY CHARTER AND REQUIRES FOR THE COUNCIL TO REFER TO THE VOTERS, AS TO WHETHER WE DO OR DO NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF COUNCIL MEMBERS.

AND SO THAT IS A SEPARATE PROCESS.

AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH THIS PROCESS, WE HAVE LEFT TIME ON OUR CONTRACT WITH THE CONSULTANT TO ENGAGE THEM AGAIN IF WE NEED TO TO LOOK AT THIS AGAIN.

AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH THIS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REFER TO THE VOTERS TO VOTE ON WHETHER WE INCREASE THOSE NUMBERS OR NOT.

>> Christina: THE CURRENT IS EIGHT DISTRICTS AND WHERE CAN PEOPLE GET INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING TO SHARE THERAPYSHARINGTHEIR INPUT?

>> PHOENIXREDISTRICTING.COM AND FORALL OF INFORMATION IS THEREIN PUTTHERE.

>> Christina: LOCAL EFFORTS DURING BLACK PHILANTHROPY MONTH IS NEXT.

YOU AUGUST IS BLACK PHILANTHROPYMONTH AND THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AGENCY EMPOWERMENT CIRCLE IS CELEBRATING WITH A NEW LEADERSHIP TEAM AND UPCOMING GRANTS THIS FALL.

JOINING US IS TERESA TONEY AND CAN YOU GIVE US INFORMATION AND HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT?

>> BLACK PHILANTHROPY MONTH IS A GLOBAL INITIATIVE STARTED BY DR. JACQUELINE COPELAND, BUT MORE SO LOCALLY HERE IN ARIZONA, WE ARE FOLLOWING THE LEGACY ESTABLISHED BY JANE FAIRFAX WHO IN 2008 STARTED THE BLACK PHILANTHROPY INITIATIVE AND BOTH TO BRING ATTENTION AND AWARENESS TO GIVING PHILANTHROPY TO THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HERE LOCALLY IN ARIZONA.

>> Christina: KATELYN, WHAT DOES PHILANTHROPY MEAN IN TERMS OF THIS MONTH?

>> I REASON I JOINED, I JOINED SIX YEARS AGO.

BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NOT ONLY TO VOLUNTEER MY TIME AND ACCESSIBLE FOR ME TO ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE MY MONEY AND BELIEVE IN AND HAVE SAY OVER WHERE THE GRANT-MAKING WAS GOING AND PHILANTHROPY IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DONATE 10,000, 20,000.

WE GIVE $83 A MONTH AND GRANT THAT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND ENABLES US TO STAY MORE CONNECTED TO DIFFERENT NONPROFITS AND DIVERSIFY GROUPS THAT ARE COMING INTO THE ARIZONA COMMUNITY AND THE HOPE IS BY RECEIVING OUR GRANTS, THEY CAN GO ONTO RECEIVE BIGGER GRANTS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.

>> Christina: THEY SAY TWO-THIRDS OF BLACK HOUSES TOTAL $2,000 A YEAR AND THE DATA IS A FEW YEARS OLD.

DOES THAT SURPRISE YOU OR NOT?

>> IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.

I THINK THE COMMUNITY HAS A HISTORY OF PULLING THE RESOURCES TOGETHER IN ORDER TO ASSIST WITH EFFORTS, WHETHER THROUGH CHURCHES OR SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.

WHAT WE HOPE TO DO IS TO EXPAND THAT CAPACITY AND BRING FURTHER AWARENESS.

AS KATELYN SAID, WE CAN ALL BE A PHILANTHROPIST.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MILLIONAIRE.

IT STARTS AT HOME AND IT STARTS WITH ANY AMOUNT.

THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING CIRCLES AND THERE ARE OTHER CIRCLES THROUGH THE ARIZONA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IS THE POOLING OF OUR RESOURCES TO MAKE THE DOLLARS STRETCH AND IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST MORE ORGANIZATIONS.

SO IT'S NOT A SURPRISE TO ME AT ALL.

>> Christina: KATELYN, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO SIGH IN THE SIX YEARS?

>> THERE'S A CYCLE WITH THE WOMEN'S GIVING CIRCLE AND ACROSS ALL THREE CIRCLES, WE'VE GIFTED OUT MORE THAN $1.4 MILLION AND THAT'S A BIG DEAL AND THERE'S MORE TO COME AND THERE'S MORE MOVEMENT AND SOME OF THOSE, -- THIS PAST YEAR, THERE'S THE BLACK MORTALITY RATE AND SPREADING AWARENESS AROUND THAT AND WE'VE SPONSORED MOVIE SCREENINGS CALLED "AFTER SHOCK" AND BROUGHT THE COMMUNITY FOR THAT AND THEN WE FUNDED OTHER PROJECTS AGAINST STEM EDUCATION, HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND LIFE PROGRAMS.

>> Christina: TERESA, THE THEME IS "LOVE IN ACTION" AND SOUNDS GREAT AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

>> THIS IS MAKING A COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY.

YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR ACTIONS TOWARDS YOUR WORDS AND SO, WHEN WE HAVE MADE A DETERMINATION THAT THERE IS AN UNMET NEED IN THE COMMUNITY, OUR LOVE AND ACTION IS MAKING A FISCAL COMMITMENT TO SOLVING AND ASSISTING AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO FUNDING IN ORDER TO BETTER THE COMMUNITY.

EQUITY, QUALITY OF LIFE ARE DEFINITELY TENETS OF WHAT WE HOPE TO DO THROUGH OUR PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS.

>> Christina: WHAT DO YOU OPEN TO GET OUT OF THIS?

>> I CAME FROM SEDONA TO PHOENIX AND I WAS LOOKING TO GET INVOLVED, FIND A GROUP OF WOMEN TO BE MENTORS TO ME WHICH I'VE GOTTEN THAT IN SPAYEDS.

I'VE BEENSPADES.I'VE BROUGHT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR AND THERE ARE A LOT OF ARIZONANS WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THEIR WORK.

SPREADING AWARENESS AROUND THAT AND THEN THE GRANTEES THAT COME THROUGH OUR PROCESS IS BUYING ABLEOF WHAT ISGOING ON AND OTHER GRANTS.

>> Christina: TERESA?

>> FOR ME IT'S STEWARDSHIP AND I PLAN TO BE HERE AND INVESTING IN THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH I LIVE IN ORDER TO BE THE CHANGE THAT WE TALK ABOUT OFTEN AND SO, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT CORE OF MY VALUES, OF BEING A CITIZEN OF THIS COMMUNITY, IS TO BE A GOOD STEWARD AND HELP OTHERS.

>> Christina: THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING IN.

WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND MORE INFORMATION?

>> AZFOUNDATION.ORG AND THERE'S THERE'S A CONTACT FORM AND THEY CAN ENTER INFORMATION THERE AND WE WILL BE STARTING OUR GRANT CYCLE THIS NEXT MONTH IN SEPTEMBER.

SO DEFINITELY PLEASE REACH OUT.

>> Christina: THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH FOR COMING IN AND WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

>> IT WASN'T UNTIL MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT I STARTED WRITING SONGS TO STARTED PROCESS WHAT I WAS FEELING AND NOW THAT I'M OLDER, THAT'S WHAT SONG WRITING HAS BECOME FOR ME.

>> Christina: PUT ON A CAPE IS A NONPROFIT HELPING CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE AND CREATED BY SOMEONE WORKING WITH VULNERABLE CHILDREN.

SEAN REAVIE IS THE FOUNDER OF PUT ON A CAPE AND HE JOINS US NOW.

THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> Christina: TALK ABOUT HOW THIS NONPROFIT SUPPORTS CHILD ADVOCATECY.

>> IF YOU SEE THE HISTORY OF SUPERHEROS, PETER PARKER WAS BULLIED AND HIS UNCLE DIED IN FRONT OF HIM AND SAVED OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT'S BA WE WANT WHAT WANT TO TEACH THESE CHILDREN.

SOMEONE TOOK THEIR RIGHT TO BE A CHILD AWAY FROM THEM AND THEY CAN RELEASE THAT INNER-CHILD AND WE USE ACTRESSES AND ACTORS TO PORTRAY SUPERHEROS AND DO EVENTS VALLEY WIDE AND RAISE MONEY THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY EMPOWERING THOUSANDS OF KIDS PER YEAR.

>> Christina: CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED OR WAS IT AN A H-HA MOMENT.

>> IT WAS THE ULTIMATE AH-HA AND WAS INTERVIEWING A CRITICALLY ABUSED 9-YEAR-OLD BOY AND WOULDN'T TALK TO ME BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID.

I GOT A TEXT FROM MY PARTNER SAYING YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME AND WAS IN A FETAL POSITION AND WOULDN'T LOOK AT ME UNTIL I ASKED HIM WHO HIS FAVORITE SUPERHERO WAS.

HE JUMPED OUT OF HIS CHAIR AND SAID "IRONMAN."

WE TALKED ABOUT ALL OF OUR HEROES, FAVORITE MOVIES AND I THANKED HIM FOR TELLING ME THAT AND I SAID, PAL, I THOUGHT SOMETHING MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU AND YEAH, AND HE DID.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE AN ARREST.

IF I COULD LET THOSE CHILDREN LEAVE WITH A PRO SUPERHERO ACTION FIGURE, AND I DID.

WE DID A DONATION DRIVE AND WE DID AND IT WAS SUCCESSFUL AND THAT WAS NINE YEARS AGO.

NOW I FORMULATED MY 501 (C) (3 (.

>> Christina: WHO IS COMING HERE?

THIS IS NOT A STERILE ENVIRONMENT BUT NOT NECESSARILY A COMFORTING PLACE TO BE.

>> CHILD ADVOCACY, THERE'S NO POLICE OFFICERS IN UNIFORM, FOR EXAMPLE.

IT'S A PLACE TO GO TO RELAX AND TRY TO DECOMPRESS.

WHEN I STARTED FIVE YEARS AGO, I PEORIA, SOUTHWEST FAMILY ADVOCACY AND THEY WERE IN DIRE NEED OF JUST CLEAN CLOTHES AND TOYS AND FOOD AND DIAPERS FOR THESE CHILDREN EAR THAT'S WHAT MY FOUNDATION PROVIDES.

WE TAKE CARE OF THOSE THINGS TO FOCUS ON TAKING CARE OF THE CHILD.

>> Christina: SO IT'S NOT JUST, HERE, KID, HERE IS A TOY AND FEEL BETTER AND BE ON YOUR WAY.

THERE ARE BASIC NEEDS THAT NEEDED TO BE MET.

>> SO MANY COME WITH THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACK, THEY HAVEN'T EATEN AND SHOES WITH HOLES IN THEM.

WE MAKE SURE THE ENTIRE FAMILY IS TAKEN CARE OF.

CHILDREN AT HOME, WE GIVE THEM DIAPERS AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE TOILETRYIES.

THE RESOURCES DON'T HAVE THE CENTERS TO PAY FOR THOSE THINGS AND THAT'S WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.

>> Christina: WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SUPERHEROS AND KIDS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LITTLE KIDS AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE FOR PRETEENS AND TEENAGERS?

>> I'M GLAD YOU ASKED ME.

THROUGH LEARNER AND ROWE, WE'RE PUTTING TEEN CENTERS IN ALL OF OUR CENTERS, WHERE TEENAGERS CAN GO AND COMPUTER TABLES AND GAMING SYSTEMS AND SO THEY CAN FEEL EMPOWERMENT AND THEY CAN DECOMPRESS AND WE'RE SOUTHWEST ADVOCACY CENTER IS THE FIRST ONE AND WE'LL HAVE THAT RIBBON CUTTING NEXT MONTH.

THEY HAVE A BRAND NEW TEEN CENTER FOR ALL OF THE TEEN VICTIMS AND GET EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO HELP THEIR RECOVERY.

>> Christina: THE SOUTHWEST CENTER IS USED BY SEVERAL?

>> BUCKEYE AND MARICOPA COUNTY AND DETECTIVES AND INVESTIGATORS AND DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SAFETY AND VICTIM'S ADVOCATES THAT ARE ALLED IN OF THAT BUILDING AND ALL OF THOSE KIDS, THEY COME THERE WHEN THEY'RE A VICTIM IN A POLICE REPORT.

THEY'VE BEEN VICTIMIZED, PHYSICALLY OR SEXUALLY ABUSED AND THEY NEED HELP AND NEED TO KNOW THAT IT WILL BE OK. AND WE HELP THEM TO DO THAT THROUGH THE EMPOWERMENT OF JUST A NEW TOY THAT CAN CHANGE THEIR NEW SHOWS AND SOMETHING THAT'S NEW BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM HAVE NEVER HAD SOMETHING NEW AND IT MAKES THEM FEEL WHOLE AGAIN.

CLOSE HOW >> Christina: HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL?

>> I CAN DO MORE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER I'M A POLICE OFFICER.

I CAN DO MORE.

WE ALL CAN DO MORE.

I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE TO GIVE $5 TO SUPPORT THE FIVE CHILDREN A DAY WHO DIE IN THIS COUNTRY FROM BEING ABUSED.

IT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, BUT IT TAKES THE COMMUNITY TO RISE UP AND EMPOWER THESE CHILDREN AND WE ASK THEM TO DO IT THROUGH US BECAUSE WE'RE PRETTY GOOD AT IT.

>> Christina: THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND I'LL BE BACK HERE TOMORROW NIGHT AND HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
