Ross Geoghegan, oo ah borofisar xisaabeed hawlgab ah oo ka yimid Binghamton, New York, ayaa isku arkay isaga oo soo dhex galay adduunka xallinta khilaafaadka iyo dhexdhexaadinta, oo ugu dambayntii ku shaqaynayey Degmada King. Socdaalkiisu waxa uu bilaabmay wakhti dheer ka hor, isaga oo ah bare khibrad leh oo ka tirsan Jaamacadda Gobolka New York, halkaas oo uu wax ka dhigi jiray oo guddoomiye ka ahaa qaybta xisaabta ka hor inta uusan shaqada ka fariisan.
"Waxaan u sii siqayay hawlgab," ayuu ku qoslay, isagoo ka tarjumaya isbeddelkiisa. "Waan ogaa xallinta khilaafka saaxiibkii ku laabtay Binghamton."
2019, Ross waxa uu tababar la qaatay Accord, xarunta xallinta khilaafaadka ee Binghamton, halkaas oo uu ku bartay xadhkaha dhexdhexaadinta. Markii hore wax ka qabashada kiisaska ku lug leh haynta iyo sheegashooyinka yaryar, doorkiisu wuxuu ka soo baxay bilawga masiibada, isaga oo riixaya dacwadaha khadka tooska ah. Maxkamaduhu waxay si isa soo taraysa u baahdeen dhexdhexaadin ka hor dagaalladii sharciga ahaa, isbeddelka Ross wuxuu qaatay si taxadir leh, isagoo ka warqaba dareenka dareenka ee ku lug leh.
"Markii Covid uu garaacay, wax walbaa waxay galeen khadka," ayuu yidhi. "Waxaan diiradda saaray inta badan kiisaska qoyska, anigoo isku dayaya inaan ka helo meel ay wadaagaan xaaladaha adag."
U soo guuritaanka Seattle ee deyrta 2021 si uu ugu dhawaado caruurtiisa, Ross wuxuu si xamaasad leh uga raadsaday fursado Xarunta Xallinta Khilaafaadka ee Degmada King (KCDRC). Waxa uu ku biiray barnaamijkayaga dhexdhexaadinta raritaan ee hoos yimaada hindisaha ERPP, ujeeddadiisuna tahay in laga hortago in guri laga saaro iyada oo ay ku jiraan jahwareer dhaqaale.
"Hal kiis oo muuqda," ayuu si fakar leh ula wadaagay, "waxay ahayd haweeney da' weyn oo wajaheysa guri ka saarid… waxayna ahayd qalbi jab."
Dhexdhexaadinta, Ross kaliya ma raadin xallinta isku dhacyada laakiin sidoo kale taageero niyadeed ee kireystayaasha nugul sida haweeneyda weyn. Dadaalkiisii hoos yimaada ERPP waxay ahaayeen kuwo saamayn leh ilaa isbeddellada sharci-dejintu ay ka dhammeeyaan barnaamijka badhtamaha 2023, taasoo keentay in loo beddelo VISTA , hindise dhexdhexaadin ikhtiyaari ah oo loogu talagalay iskahorimaadyada mulkiilaha iyo kiraystaha ay abuurtay KCDRC.
Dhexdhexaadinta ka sakow, Ross waxa uu sii ahaanayaa firfircooni xagga xisaabta cilmi-baadhista, isaga oo wada-shaqeyn wadaniya iyo mid caalami ah labadaba, isaga oo wakhtiga la qaddarinaya carruurta uu awoowaha u yahay- sababta ugu weyn ee uu ugu soo guuray Seattle.
"Waan ka mahad-celinayaa fursadda aan qoyska ku dhownahay," ayuu si diiran u yiri. "Waxay ahayd cutub dhammaystiran."
