Hey everyone, it is Crypto Grounds here and welcome back to another video. This is episode 7.1 for the idle game tutorial series 2021 edition and today we're going to be using the two BIMACS equations we came up with in the last video 7.1 and implementing them in code. Okay, so let's jump into it. So we are currently in our project right now. I have created a brand new button. It's right here. It's just going to be our BIMACS button and we're going to create two methods. One will be inside of our method script. So let's open that real quick. And then the other one will be in our upgrades manager script. So let's start here. So let's create a method for our BIMACS. Okay. So currently it has no parameters whatsoever. However, let's take a look at our little equation here. So I used ASCII math to format this equation looks very nice. So let's start with that. Let me split this up. Let's implement our parameters. So we don't need a cost. We just need our base multiplier and our current level. So our base is going to be, well, we can either make it a double or a big double, but let's just be consistent and use big doubles. If you wanted to use less memory, our base mults and levels could be less than that. Like levels could be ints, our multipliers could be floats and our bases can be doubles. That's however you want to do it. I'm just going to keep everything consistent and use big doubles, but that's for you to decide. So we have a base cost, a cost mult and an int level. So let's create our equation in code. So we're going to have our big double cost. And this is going to be equal to base costs times and just write it all out. OK, so we have our equation. So the cost is equal to the base cost times big double dot pal cost mult and level. Multiply by our big double dot pal cost mult n minus one. And these two terms divided by our cost mult minus one. So we now need to implement our end. So this is where the other equation comes into play. And that's this guy. So let me write this out. Also, for this equation, we have C. So our C is going to be the currency we are willing to spend. So you want to add that as a parameter as well. So we'll just call that currency. All right, so here's our equation fully written out. And if you were to compare it to the ASCII version of it, you'll see that they are identical. So yeah, it looks like that. And there's some simplification we can do. So I've already done one and that is make this cost method right here, which is just the base times M to the power of level. We can do that here as well. So we can just replace this equation here or this part of the equation right here, base cost times big double pal, cost mult level and replace it with this method. And my end is an int and I also ended up changing the cost mult to a float just because I don't really think most people are going to have super large cost multipliers. And if that's the case, use doubles, whatever suits your needs. And yeah, so these two are the equations that we will be using. And if you want, you can press alt enter to import static members and it kind of cleans things up a little bit. And what that does is that it implements the using static break infinity dot big double at the top of your script. One last thing you can do is that if this is really lengthy for you as well, you can change the names of our parameters. So currency could be C instead. Our base cost could be B or M could be cost mult and our level could be L. This may be a little hard to read, but at least it's not super long like it was before. And you could just make a comment. So we have our equations done. Let's do the actual buying process. So we still want to check to see if our cost or if our currency is greater than this cost, because if for some reason your currency changes while this is running and you can't actually purchase this, we will get negative numbers and we don't want that. So we're going to do is check to see if C is less than cost. And if that's the case, we're going to return and do nothing. Otherwise, we're going to subtract cost from C and we are going to add to our level. And this will be based on whatever N is. So there's two things that we need to do before this is done is that these values aren't actually going to change the actual currency you have and the level. What we need to do is move these to the beginning. So we have CL and then our BM and then we add the ref term. So basically, we're grabbing the reference of our currency and our level variable and changing them directly inside of this method. We didn't have these ref terms. And if we were trying to change C and L inside of this method, it's just not going to do anything on the other side. And this is our by max method. That is all we need to do. Second thing we need to do is head to our upgrades manager. We need to implement like actually by max. So I'm going to merge the by max like all together and it will by max all the click upgrades, production upgrades and generated upgrades. You could split it up if you'd like, but I'm just going to do all in one just to make things easier. So I don't have to create more buttons. All right. So I have created a by max method with no parameters. And what we're going to basically do is for loop through all of the upgrades and call that by max method that we made in our method script. All right. So I have implemented the three for loops for our by maxes and we ran into an issue. Our error here is that index or access returns temporary value. So this is actually a temporary value and using the ref term doesn't change it directly. And we need to do something else. So let's head back to our method script. We can keep this by max method because if we were to have just a normal level that was either an array or just an integer, this would work just fine. However, we need to grab the list and do something else. So we can just copy and paste this and change this into a list. And on top of that, we need to grab the index as well. And we can just label that as I. So now we go to the bottom right here. And we are accessing the list at index I. And we're going to be doing the same thing for our cost equation.  Oh, we have one more. Silly me. If we were to go back, things should be fine, except it's not. We have to get rid of this. After that, we need to add our index, which is just I. Oh, okay. I see here.  I think it's it's been a long time since I've touched this. So not as to copy and paste this one more time, except with an interest. We're making a big double list. So and since our levels are not whole numbers, we don't have to cast this as an interest anymore. So our N becomes a big double and our cost right here. Once an int. So we need to copy and paste this cost equation, change our level to big double. And then we should be safe. And now if we go back to our upgrades manager, everything should be happy. And let's give this a test. So before we test it, we have to sign this by max method to this button. Drag your upgrades manager to the on click and select the by max method and hit play. Alrighty, so let's just get some stuff and if we were to hit by max, oh boy. Okay, so this is broken. This is very broken. I see interesting. Okay, that's not good. All right. So I kind of realized I did something really silly in regards to this buying stepped right here or this, you know, figuring out this equation right here. But in step three, where I add one to both sides, I added the plus one in the wrong spot. So you see that plus one right there? Well, that should actually be on the outside of this, you know, this fraction. So it should actually be right here. So, yeah, I did some testing and it completely broke. And it's because this is incorrect. So don't make the silly mistake. Make sure you check your math. And if you do mess up one step, you can do something wrong like I just did. So let's move this plus one, which I had to do for all of them. So give me one second. All right, so it seems to be working fine now. Let's see. Yeah, it should be working fine. It's just not updating the UI. So this is what the final equation looks like. So I basically just moved that plus one outside of the numerator inside of this log. So it's all of this plus one and make sure you change it for all of them. And if we were to go to our upgrades manager, we need to update our UI. So in which we just add that at the bottom and everything should be working just fine now. Sorry for making that math mistake. I actually feel really embarrassed about that because it's just a plus. It's it's literally just basic addition and I couldn't even do that right. But anyways, this should work now. So we can just spam this a ton. Let's just give myself tons of money, tons of flasks by max. And yeah, everything's great. Cool. So everything's in good condition. Let's just give us some of this. Cool. All right. So that is the by max is very powerful. And it's a great piece of quality of life to including your game. And I hope this wasn't too complicated. So I'm going to leave these up for a bit just to make sure you have all of them. And you may not be using this one right now. But later down the road, I guarantee you're going to be using something like this where you are taking in just a single integer level rather than an entire list. Anyways, that is it for this video.

And according to my handy dandy little plan I have created for the upload schedule. We'll be working on the by max. We'll be working on a by max system where you can either by five, 10, 100 or maximum. So you'll be able to change how much you can buy for each upgrade. So this will be pretty nice as well. So yeah, that'll be the next video. Anyways, I can't wait to make this video and I'll see you all there. Peace. Magic we born in different.


Zero Accounting Software 2023 Bank Reconciliation Month Number 2 Deposits.  First, a word from our sponsor. Well, actually these are just items that we picked from the YouTube Shopping Affiliate Program, but that's actually good for you because these aren't things that we're just given to us from some large corporation which we don't even use in exchange for us selling them to you. These are things that we actually researched, purchased, and used ourselves. Bayer Dynamic? Not sure if I said that right, but this is the DT770 Pro 250 OHM Studio Reference Closed Back Headphones. I wear headphones basically every day for a large part of the day. They are important to me, therefore I've gone through many different kinds of headphones. I've had these for some time and they've worked quite well. They fit over my ears, but I'm still able to put my glasses on under the headphones. The headphones not pinching too tight on the glasses to give me a headache, which is nice. The quality of the patting is good and it has lasted for some time. I've had these for some time now and they haven't gotten all torn up on me or anything like that. I also like that I have a cord when I'm doing my recordings as opposed to a USB centered headphone because that frees up a USB port and I find the USB headphones to be less reliable. They come with an audio jack that looks like this, which is useful for me because that plugs into my audio interface. However, if you want to use the headphones for some other purpose, I believe it's fairly easy to get a converter to other types of audio jacks.

Here we are in our Custom Zero home page going into the company file we set up in a prior presentation. Get great guitars! We're going to duplicate some tabs to put reports in like we do every time. Duplicating a couple extra tabs here so we can put two bank reconciliation reports in. One for the prior month we worked on, one for the current month we are working on. Right-clicking and duplicating the tab, we're going to right-click the duplicated tab and duplicate it again. We're going to right-click the duplicated tab and duplicate it again. We're going to right-click the duplicated tab and duplicate it again. That's a lot of duplications. We're multiplying like crazy, like rabbits over here. Let's go back to the second tab and we're going to go to the Accounting drop-down. We're going to go into the Balance sheet type of report. Go to the tab to the right, Accounting drop-down, Income statement type of report. I'm looking at a comparative income statement but you can open the standard one if you'd like. Tabbing to the right, Accounting drop-down. Let's open the reports area so we can search for the bank reconciliation. Opening that up, I'm going to tab to the right as it's thinking and I'm going to open up another bank reconciliation. Accounting drop-down. Let's go to the reports and type in once again the bank reconciliation. There we have it. Now let's do some date formatting here. We're going to do the second bank reconciliation for the month of February. We can hit the drop-down here. I'm going to say this is going to be Feb 1st to Feb 28, Feb 1, Feb 28. Then I'm going to say this is going to be the checking account. I'm going to pull the balance in from our bank statement, which is our Feb bank statement. We'll take a look at it in a second, 101.590.05. So 101.590.05. Then we'll update that. Here we have that information. I'm going to tab to the left. I'm going to open up a bank reconciliation report for January or create that, which is the one we did last time. I'm going to hit the drop-down here and make this Jan 1 to Jan 31. Let's see if I can see the whole thing. This is going to be a checking account. Then this was January's ending balance, 6124185. So 6161241.85. I think I got that right, updating it. We can check this one because it should be in balance. It is, so it's in balance. That looks good. Let's tab to the left. The income statement looks good properly formatted on the dates tab into the left balance sheet. Let's make this as of January, dropping it down, customizing it, January in it, and then 31st in it, and then updating it. Alright then. So this is what we had last time where we had our ending balance here. We reconciled it dealing with that first bank reconciliation issue, which we won't have in the second bank reconciliation. So this reconciliation should be closer to like our normal kind of bank rec process that we should have going forward. I'm going to go to the tab to the right. You can see that we reconciled here for the bank reconciliation. Now we're going to go to the tab to the right. This is the second bank reconciliation showing the date of 9577, the amount, 9577906. This is the balance on our books as of the cutoff date of February. Let's adjust our balance sheet now. Let's see if I can do a side-by-side balance sheet so I can see January and February doing a comparative balance sheet. So I'm going to say let's layout and customize this balance sheet comparative. Let's just say comparative and I'm going to add a column to it. And I want to say just a date column. And I'm going to say this is FEB. So this is the month of FEB. There we have it. And so I'm going to update that. And so now we've got FEB, which is at 9577906. That's showing 9577906. So we can see once again the construction of our bank reconciliation as we go. Now here's our actual bank statement. The bank statement now having 101-590-05, which of course is not the same as what we saw in our books because of timing differences. That's why we're going to have to do a bank reconciliation. What is nice here is that this beginning balance is the same amount as the ending balance of the January bank statement. Therefore, once we have one item in balance, we're not going to have any of that beginning balance issue going forward. Therefore, the bank reconciliation process will be much easier. All right, let's go to the first tab now. And I'm going to go to the Accounting drop-down. We're going to go into the bank accounts. And let's go back into our banking data for the checking account drop-down here. Let's go into account transactions and noting that in our account transactions on the right, we have stuff that happened in February, but we don't have any bank data as of yet for the month of February. So we're going to go ahead, since we're not connected to the bank, I'm going to upload the data so that we have it in the system like zero really wants to see it. So we can get that full feel of having it in the system. So I'm going to put our information into our Excel worksheet, just like we did last time. You could do this. This is similar to us downloading the data from the bank or connecting to the bank feeds. So note that when we do that, we don't have the beginning balances here. What we have is just the activity from the bank statement, but that's all we want. We want the activity because what we're trying to reconcile is from the last beginning balance to this current ending balance. If you want to make your own just for testing out, you can type this into Excel, for example, and then you would need to save it as a CSV file. So I'm going to do that now. I'm going to say file and save as browse. And I'm going to save it as a CSV. I'm going to change the file type to a CSV comma deliminated file and then save it. So now if I close this out and I check it out over here, now I can see the difference between these two. This is the comma deliminated one, which I can now add or upload to zero. So let's do that now. So I'm going to go back on over here and say manage the account. And I'm going to say we want to import a statement. Import a statement and we're going to say it needs to be these file types. So we have a CSV file. So that one should be good to go. So I'm going to say let's upload a file and we're going to say this is Feb transactions. Notice it gives you the last transaction that was entered. I think it's trying to help you not to upload duplicate data. That's why that's kind of there. So you can see what the last transaction was so you can start at the right point if you're downloading this information from your bank. February bank transaction boom. And there we have it. Let's go next. And then I'm just going to say the date field is the date field the amount amount payee payee description description reference check number check number. Looks like everything is is matching up the way it should in terms of the columns from our sheet to what zero has which should be the case because we got our column headings from zero. Let's go ahead and say next. And so I think that looks good. So let's go ahead and say complete the import poor favor. And it should pull that stuff in. Now I have if I go to my Trent my reconciliation tab. I've got my comparison between the banking information and what we have put in the system. And in my bank statement tab. I now have the information not just for January but also February that we uploaded into the system or February is on top. And then in the account transactions nothing new is happening here. We already had this in the system. So we didn't actually record anything by uploading that data. We just uploaded it to match what's in the system. Now if we were constructing our books from the bank data this would be similar to us connecting to the bank feeds and we wouldn't have anything on our transactions for February. But only these transactions and then we would then we would we would record our books you know based on that which will do in a future course or section we might spend some more time on that. Now we're just going to do the deposits. So we'll do this one at a time. I'm just going to match out the deposits over here and then we'll do the checks next time. Remembering that we're always going to basically go from the bank statement to the books. So notice that in our bank statement this number when I'm trying to reconcile is good. That one's been cleared because that's our beginning balance. No problem. Now I'm just going to go from our deposits which normally we have a dollar amount and a date that is relevant. If you had electronic transfers you may also have bank text or memos that will help you to kind of tie everything out noting that if you deposited everything properly using a proper clearing account you shouldn't have to add things together when doing the bank reconciliation in order to reconcile. If you do that means that your accounting system probably is not optimal and you can need to use a clearing account or you need to figure out a system so that the deposits you make into your checking account are grouped in the same format as the deposits going into the bank. Possibly being an issue because of intermediary platforms like PayPal's like Stripes like the credit card company or cash that you're grouping together. So you want to come up with a system that we've talked about in prior presentations. Okay so there's the 3470 something. So 3472 so we put it in the books on this is one that didn't clear in January. So that's when I just want to point out over here this in January here this 3472 was outstanding and now it's clearing in February. That doesn't mean this bank reconciliation report it's going to disappear from here it's still outstanding as of the end of January. But if I look at this bank reconciliation report I have outstanding receipts here that it's going to be not outstanding for February. So it's going to pull out of this area as a non outstanding item. All right so let's do it and say let's say OK. And then if I go back on over here just to note this it's still outstanding as of January right it's still the outstanding item. But in February it has now cleared so it's not outstanding it's not a differential factor in February between the book balance and the bank balance. Okay back to the tab to the right then I can greenify this greenify this 121250. So back over here it's easier with two monitors but whatever 12250 12250 not 121250 this one I wrote in February and then it cleared a little bit later so they cleared in the same month. So I'm going to say OK got it and then greenify and then greenify 450870. Okay 450870 so there's that one so we wrote it on the 20th it cleared on the 23rd that makes sense. Okay and then we got seven let's see if I can do these at the same time 750 and 400. It's going to strain my memory but there's the 750 there's nothing that's tying out to the 750 that's kind of annoying. I would think there should be but the 400 we have here so let's pick up the 400 that's good. All right back on over 400 has been picked up. Okay so now we have this 750 so the question is what is going on you know with this 750. Now we could go to the match here and try to see if I can match it up to some other transactions. Let's just get an idea of what's happening when we match it though if I if I go up top and say OK what do we have here this is comparing the books and the banks. What I have here is the bank data. So in the bank data I have the 750 right. I have the 750 that's unreconciled on the account transactions. This is our book data. This was where it is not here. I'm going to sort everything so February is on top here. So I'm going to say right February is on top and then see OK what's going on with these deposits and I can see down here. Notice that I have these three items that add up to 750 quite coincidentally right. I've got 203456750 all unreconciled. So what possibly happened at this point in time is that when when I recorded the deposits for sales that have happened or receives of the invoice. I recorded each of them individually but possibly they hit the bank as one lump sum of 750. Why might that be the case possibly because some kind of intermediary processor. The bank the PayPal's the stripes the credit cards of the world or possibly cash deposits. I grouped the cash together and deposited the three payments I received in one lump sum. That would all result in one lump sum on the bank and three numbers in our account adding to the same amount. Now again I can fix that over here and I can say well that's not a problem. I can go over here and I can just add those up but I shouldn't have to right. I want the bank reconciliation to be as easy as possible. So we'll do that here. We'll add them up but if you find yourself doing that all the time on the bank reconciliation your accounting is messed up.  To tie everything out properly. Alright so to find that match here I can say okay it's on the bank side it's not on the book side I'm going to match it and combine these things together. So I'm going to say here's the one I want this one this one and this one which are going to tie out to the 750 so that should match out. So then I'm going to scroll down and say okay reconcile. And so it pulls that match in place. So if I go back on over we can say alright 750 has been matched out we're good to go. So that means on the deposit side we have checked everything off. So if I go back on up then if I look at the bank statement tab we've checked off many or all of the deposits in February for the bank statement because if it's on the bank side. It should be in our book side and if it's not we should probably are going to need to enter it in our books. This one however we entered in our books in January but it cleared in February so we're still able to check it off.  So these are going to be the things that are creating our reports. If I go to my bank reconciliation reports and I really like that you can open multiple bank reconciliation reports and change them as you go for instructional purposes it works quite well for that. But in any case you have the January didn't change. There's the 3407250 here it's still outstanding even though that deposit again did clear over here in the February statement. So in February we now have the balance per the books 9577906 ties out over here on the balance sheet and then we've got the outstanding payments that we'll talk about next time. So we've got the outstanding receipts which is that 200260 which I can see down here there's the 2006 and another 200 these two deposits it looks like have not yet cleared and we can double check them to see if they cleared in March. And if they did then they would be legitimate outstanding items a different from the difference from the bank books to our books as of the cutoff date of February 28.


informed us that it wasn't a departure, but a passing off of the leadership of move to a new young leader, someone with a different background and a new fresh perspective, someone that could center young voices while staying true to the mission and heart of the organization, students and young people. After his explanation, it just made sense. It was time. And in true Drew fashion, he wasn't just providing us a two weeks notice or a two months notice or a four months notice, but really a six months or longer notice so that he could stay on board to bring in the new executive director. And while I am sad that we no longer get to chat with Drew every Thursday at 5.30, unless he, of course, he wants to keep that date, I am excited about the next chapter in move story. As you all know, move was founded by a group of young students at UTSA to mobilize and organize students to get young people registered to vote and then turn them out to the polls to vote and to empower young people to serve as leaders in our community and as voices to those around them. Move continues its work today, not just in San Antonio, but in cities across Texas. Move has in some way moved you just as it has moved me. Move has moved you, whether as an intern, a volunteer, a staff member, a board member, a donor, a supporter, or perhaps even all of the above. So thank you all for being here and sharing and celebrating the work of move under the leadership of Drew and continuing your support as he turns over the reins to our new executive director, Claudia Yoli-Fedela. I'm going to pass it over to Steven who'd like to say a few words on behalf of the Action Fund. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. So my name is Steven Lopez, I am the board chair of the C4 which is the Move Texas Action Fund. What a privilege and special honor to be here tonight or today to honor our good friend Drew Galloway and the work he has done with Move over the years. I've known Drew since before he took the job at Move and I always knew that he would be a special leader in whatever he did and it was a hot summer day when I was having lunch with co-founder Hannah Beck, I don't know where she's at, she's there in the back. We were having lunch and she said, she said I'm leaving Move and we've decided to bring Drew on. He's going to be the new executive director and we were excited and we thought what a great fit, he's passionate, what a good leader, he's going to be great in this work. But I don't think Hannah or myself could have envisioned exactly where Drew has taken this organization. I'm sure you'll agree with me that the work Drew has done here at Move is nothing short of phenomena. I was there. We were all there in the early years from a staff of two with a budget of less than $100,000 and that $100,000 was scraping by, it was important to us. We would talk and beg and can we get another $1000 out of someone for a good cause of course. To now where Move is at with over 30 full-time employees, 40 fellows, a budget of over $4 million, it's simply incredible and it just is a testament to the type of leader that Drew is and the work that everyone at Move has done and I'm sure Drew will be the first one to tell you that he didn't do it alone but we would be remiss if we didn't take pause to specially honor this incredible leader today and I'm so happy that we're able to do it here. The hundreds of thousands of Texans that have been registered to vote because of Move's effort under Drew's leadership is just amazing. The expansion to, I don't even know how many cities we're in right now, 55 I think college campuses were at, it's just incredible. There's a saying that we're all familiar with that goes, you know, do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Well after watching Drew for the last four years, I don't agree, right? Because I've seen him work tirelessly day and night for the last five years. There was never an off switch for Drew. He was available 24 seven for Move and for this cause. And I truly don't think that we could have achieved what has been achieved in the last five years without Drew Galloway. He's someone who is just a very special person and someone I'm honored to call a friend. So Drew on behalf of the Move Texas Board of Directors, we want to present you with an award and a gift. Thank you so much and thank you for having us, congratulations. Now we'd like to welcome Move Co-Founder and Advocacy Manager, a man that needs no introduction, Mr. Alex Burnett. I need the mic slightly adjusted, maybe. We'll see. Gosh, there's so much I could say about the reason we're here today and that's to celebrate an incredible, incredible fighter for democracy, an incredible, incredible fighter for justice, my friend Drew Galloway. But I also want to highlight something more narrow than that. And that is somebody who takes care of an organization, somebody who takes care of his staff, somebody who takes care of the fellows, somebody who takes care of the interns. And that's been the story of Move Texas from the very beginning. You may have noticed that over time the t-shirts changed from Move San Antonio to Move Texas. And that's because Drew Galloway had a vision. And with many organizations, that transition to a statewide organization is a very turbulent one, a very difficult one to maintain that spirit of centering young people, of maintaining the fight without losing people, without losing hope, without losing the spirit of the organization.  And it's better at a time that democracy needs it more than ever. So from the very bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to Drew for his tireless efforts, his sleepless nights. I want to thank his family for giving him to us for the years that they did. It's a sacrifice. Right now Move is a statewide organization at a time that Texas needs statewide organizations. It needs young fighters who are willing to stand up for democracy. And without Drew Galloway's help, it's a question of whether or not we would meet our moment. But now I can confidently say we're ready to meet our moment. We're ready to continue fighting from a small student organization to a statewide powerhouse. If you spend any time talking to me, I often say, you know, I don't like the great man theory of history. History is made by movements. It's made by people that aren't recorded. But today, a very special occasion, I want to say that history at least has one great man in my life, and that's Drew Galloway. Drew, from the bottom of my heart, I know the staff feels this way. I know that everybody that works with you feels this way. Thank you so, so much for all you've given to us, and you're going to keep fighting. It's been awesome. Thanks. Thank you, Alex, without you and Hannah and the rest finding the courage to step up. We wouldn't be here today. It's my pleasure now to introduce Michelle Trameo, Executive Director of Texas Organizing Project, an outstanding partner of Move Texas. I have a little cheat sheet in case I get emotional and cry. First of all, I just, I want to say thank you to Drew. You know, try not to cry. So two things that I admire about Drew Galloway. One is a little bit borrowing from what Alex said. You know, Executive Director to Executive Director, you know, it's very hard to lead a staff through transition, much less the transition from Move San Antonio to Move Texas. And I just have always admired Drew's steadfast, joyful leadership as he's shepherded the organization from, I believe as Stephen said, you know, two employees to over 30. And, you know, have really just admired watching you in action, Drew. The other thing I want to mention in the category of things I admire about Drew Galloway, I feel like I should have made it a Jeopardy game or something. But is, you know, I knew we were going to be good colleagues when I first met him. The moment that I knew we were going to be friends and really partners in this movement is one day we were on the phone. And Drew was getting a lot of pressure from, I'm going to keep the story a little bit vague to protect the guilty parties. Drew was getting a lot of pressure from powers that be in this city to drop a campaign that we were working on together. And Moves funding was being threatened. Their future relationships were being threatened. And I didn't know what to do when he told me this. And I gave him an out. If they wanted out, I understood that this organization was at a critical moment in its trajectory. And this could be devastating consequences for Moves. And Drew simply said, oh well, let them try. And I think that was the moment that you captured my heart forever, Drew. And I knew that I would do anything to block for you, to back you up, anything that you would need from me. I was going to be there for you. So things that I will miss about Drew Galloway. Number one, strategizing on policy campaigns and giving elected officials, including the elected officials here tonight, a really hard time about the things that we care about in this community. Number two, tag teaming donors to ensure that even more resources are coming to Texas and that we can grow our voter participation in this state to be reflective of the majority of us that live here. But not least, suing election officials together. Just close with the things that I'm looking forward to. You know, one, the team here at Moves is amazing. And I know that you will continue to do amazing work. I've just met Claudia, but my offer to you, I don't know where she is right now. Over there. My offer to you is the same. I'm here for you. I love this organization. I love Alex and Erin and Zanen. Where's Zanen? I haven't seen him yet. Okay. He's at the ledge doing his job. Another reason why I love this organization. Can't have a party, got to be at the ledge. And I just, you know, I'm really looking forward to move Texas 3.0 under Claudia's leadership. And Drew, you know, our work together is not done. You know, our next adventure together is the oh so sexy topic of redistricting. Nobody forget, we've got redistricting around the corner. There's no rest after the ledge is over.  Thank you, Michelle.  It's my also my pleasure to introduce now to Bear County commissioner for precinct to Justin Rodriguez commissioner. Thank you very much. Good evening, everybody. It's great to see such a great crowd here supporting our good friend drew and we, you know, the weather kind of cooperated tonight.  But, you know, I wanted to come first of all to acknowledge, of course, Drew's work and his friendship and his support. But I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the work of all of those who have been a part of move. Stephen from the board, Alex, everybody who has worked day in and day out to make progress in our community. I think we owe all of them a big round of applause because we know the organization doesn't run itself. Right. So thank you for your work. I was I was reminiscing with Hannah a few minutes ago about a meeting we had it had to be in like 2014 or 2015 when it was still known as move essay. And she was making a pitch and I met with her at a Panera. We were fancy back then, right? And, you know, she just asked for support. She told me about what the organization was doing, what the dream was. And, you know, I think all at the time I wrote her a check for 100 bucks to help out. I told her she should have asked for more. But to see the group, the organization grow from what it was back then to what it is now is, I think, beyond anybody's imagination. And the lives you've touched, the communities you've impacted and the progress we've made in this state over those few years is incredible. So thank you for that. You know, Drew has been at the forefront of that since 2016, I think, is that right, Drew? And I will tell you, that's when I was in the legislature. You know, you know, as elected officials, oftentimes we don't admit that we have shortcomings and I would admit we have shortcomings and we rely on our constituents to push us to be better. That's the only way we can be better. Drew has been one of those folks who has pushed me to be better, particularly at the local level coming back home when I became county commissioner in 2019. We had this big responsibility for local elections and Alex, you've been there as well, making sure that we are doing the right thing by our constituents. You all know it's not been easy. For those that don't know, we have a different system here. Elections administrator does not report to commissioners court. And so we've had to push and prod and do everything we can to make sure that we make as much progress as we can. Drew has been at the forefront of those conversations. When I thought maybe, hey, we've got enough here, Drew, he would say, how about this? And pushed me further.  This last November election, the huge presidential election when we were pushing for, well, you know, we can't get 24-hour sites, but maybe we can do this. And literally on the day of the vote, when we were approving the hours for the voting during that period, you know, we were going to settle for, you know, the regular eight to eight. And, you know, I ended up making an amendment because of Drew and others to have the polls open till 10 p.m. The first time ever in Baird County, we were open till 10 p.m. Again, still not enough, but it was a baby step. It was a step in the right direction. Again, Drew has made that his life's work. And we know that the work will continue through the people that he has touched in this organization. I know Claudia, congratulations to you. She's going to do great work. We know that. Hannah and Drew have made tremendous progress. Drew, this is days about you. I'm not going to read this whole thing, man, because we got other speakers. But this is a proclamation that is signed by Judge Wolf, myself and the other commissioners court as a day of acknowledgment for claiming May 5th, 2021, as Drew Galloway Day. So, come on up. Congratulations, my friend. We wish him well. And I think I have the honor of introducing the next speaker. Is that right, Leslie? Okay. So, we know that this was a huge election May 1st. We're still, I think, celebrating the accomplishments of all of the progress we've made as a community over the last few years in no large part due to the leadership of our mayor who won a victorious 60. I'm going to run it up to 63%. I'm on there. Significant mandate to continue. I've had the opportunity and privilege to work with the mayor on the code response a few times Nelson will call me and say, I'm tired of doing this show every night when you fill in with me. And so I hang out with with the mayor and do the COVID update. But it's my honor to introduce our mayor, Ron Nuremberg. Good evening, everybody. Drew, I came for you to really just recognize the accomplishments that you've had in your time in San Antonio to say congratulations. Drew and I met many years ago, I think in my first council race. And it was very clear that we shared common cause, a singular value, which is that we believed that if more people would turn out in local elections, you would end up with better results and better public policy. That it was our entire goal as a community, regardless of the political spectrum that you adhered to, that we needed to get more people out to vote at local elections. And that when you do that, the elected officials that represent you have to represent a broader swath of the community. And that would result in more representative public policy. That first race I ran in was, I think, 7% turnout. We all know what happened this past election. And I think it's in no small part due to the work of Move Texas. Congratulations to the leadership of Move Texas. There's been many people that have come through this organization that have gone on to great things. And I think that that's probably the biggest testament to leadership in our community or anywhere else for that matter, is that you bring people behind you that take leadership positions. I see Hannah back here, Alex, all the folks who have been part of Move San Antonio and Move Texas over the years. Thank you for moving our city and our state forward. I will say that I joined a lot of you in getting the feeling that when Move San Antonio declared that they were going to go Move Texas, that it was maybe a little bit too soon, that they were biting off a lot. But I think that the results speak for themselves, don't they? Congratulations to Move Texas. We will be working with you on the redistricting process to make sure that those are outcomes that best represent Texas, best represent the young people of this community, which we've always said will live longer with the consequences of public policy than anybody else. So again, to Move Texas, best wishes, Claudia, I look forward to meeting you and working with you. Drew, we are so excited and we are grateful here in San Antonio that you spent some time here getting our community's civic engagement engine running, something that I think we all will benefit from for years to come. So congratulations, Drew. Bon voyage. It's really a pleasure being able to introduce my two long-term time friends of Justin and Ron. It's lovely to see where you are today and what you're doing for our community. Thank you both very, very much. It is really a pleasure. This is a long time coming. But to introduce the next speaker that will speak on behalf of the staff, and it is my pleasure to welcome the new Executive Director of Move Texas, Claudia Yoli Perla. I'm a little taller than most of the speakers, no offense. But buenas noches, good evening. It's so nice to see everybody in person and in face after one long year of not being able to have these kinds of gatherings. I don't know about you, but it's been kind of awkward socializing and saying hello and meeting people. But I'm so excited to be here and to talk a little bit about Drew. And I've had the pleasure and honor for the last four weeks of just spending a lot of time with Drew. Day in, day out. Together we've strategized, we've brainstormed, and most importantly, she's miamos. But when thinking about what I really wanted to say and the feeling that I wanted to convey on behalf of the team, I was thinking about the very first time I actually met Drew. It was in 2018 I had just moved to Austin from El Paso and was trying to really understand the ecosystem, the organizations that are serving young people in this great state. And I remember that we were meeting up for coffee. It was like 95 degrees outside and Drew walks in with a blazer and literally dressed how he is right now. And doing what an executive director does so well, just representing his organization. And soon we start talking and he shares this collateral material with me. Of course, like looking at all the stickers, you know, looking at all the amazing impact at Move Texas. And I noticed that he wasn't even reading it. He was really just speaking in that moment from his heart. And sharing about the amazing trajectory and story of Move Texas.  And I remember in that moment feeling so energized and so truly passionate and I think that feeling was truly what he was trying to convey. When he shared about his vision for Move Texas, this was 2018 right in the middle of a midterm election. And I was just so inspired and so moved because quite frankly what other organizations can say that they have that kind of story, coming from a campus to now leading a statewide organization. And when I think about where Move Texas is going now and where we are even from that meeting in 2018. And as you know, you mentioned we have people at the Capitol day in, day out fighting for our right to vote. I think about the big fight right here in Texas. And when we share with urgency and with so much anger that we are the ground zero for the fight for our voting rights. I know that we as an organization could not be the player that we are had it not been for someone like Drew at the helm of this organization. It's been a true pleasure spending the last four weeks with you. Thank you for believing in me and thank you for all of your advice. And when we think about you know where we're going and not only excited but I'm also feeling really confident.  Drew, it is my honor on behalf of the team to offer you with this gift. And so it says el futuro está en tus manos. And as we think about the future, let's remember we are the largest, most diverse piece of the electorate and we are the face of power in this. And we have you to thank for the day that our policies are going to be reflecting our values and that our elected officials are going to be reflecting the beautiful diversity of the state. Thank you, Drew. Good afternoon. I knew that week four would be the hardest week of onboarding and it's because of this moment. I'd like to ask Claudia and also Hannah to come up and stand with me while I say a few words. Thank you to all the speakers tonight for your kind words and thank you for joining us here this afternoon. Both in person and for those who couldn't join us in person in San Antonio, those who are joined us online. Thank you to now cast for streaming this. This is one of the very first in person socially distance events that move as hosted in nearly a year since COVID made us all digital organizers. You know, I'm honored to be spending these final hours this week with each of you. So I want to tell you a little story about my interview at Move Texas. You know, I was in my final interview for Move San Antonio, the executive director role, and we were in the office and there was a large board table that maybe had, you know, 15 chairs around it. Hannah was there and all the board was there. And they were asking me like rapid fire questions of what would you do if this happened? What would you do if this happened? I think that what was your favorite curse word was one of them. And like what if you could dress up as any fruit, what would it be? And but the last question was like when you leave Move Texas, what will you leave? And I remember that question and I remember sitting there for maybe 30 seconds and saying, we're going to be Move Texas. And I saw all the eyes around the table like get real big.  Like this is an organization that focuses on local organizing. And I just said like, you know, we're going to be statewide. But, you know, a couple days later, Hannah and Chris Stewart called me and offered me the role. So, you know, now as I sort of stand here and we are Move Texas, it gives me a tremendous amount of pride. The Move staff knows especially how difficult events like this are for me. Because that's exactly why they wouldn't let me anywhere near the planning for it because I would have changed the location or something. So as Alex said, I really shy away from using the first person singular in nearly all aspects of movement building. No one person can be responsible for the success of a community or the success of our friends, our family. But regardless of any of the niceties that the speakers say tonight, tonight is no exception. The Move Texas would not be here today if it weren't for the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of young people that have given their time to this organization.  Every day I've been fortunate to watch, support, coach and scale the work of energetic, passionate young people building power across the state. I loved every minute of it from winning polling locations on college campuses, to registering new voters, to hosting the largest national voter registration day event in the nation, to struggling to react to COVID, to stressing out about where the next check was going to come from, and to working beside the best dam organizers in the entire state. All the ups and downs, I loved every moment of it here Move. And together we've accomplished so much. We've expanded from one city to 11 cities. We've expanded from 10 campuses to over 70 campuses. Our team has gone from two full-time employees to 35 full-time staff, five part-time staff and 15 youth fellows. We've developed thousands of youth leaders through our civic leadership program, our artist fellowship, and our volunteer programs. We've increased our organizational budget by 5,000% in the last five years. And we've registered over 120,000 new young voters across the state. None of this would have been possible without each one of you, so thank you. I must take a second and show my immense gratitude to the following groups of people who made Move Texas what it is in this moment. First, I recognize our communities. Young Texans from Laredo to Denton, from San Antonio to Houston, Young Texans made this organization. From UTSA to UT Arlington to University of Houston, they are the backbone of this organization. To all of our supporters, both in San Antonio, who believed in us early, to all of our supporters across the state, to all the donors who donate to us nationally, your gifts have powered our work. To our allies and champions, to candidates, elected officials, community leaders, and others who believed in the power of young people and who stood up for that power when it mattered, thank you. To our networks, to the Alliance for Youth Action, to our sister affiliates who are other youth organizing groups across the nation, to New Leaders Council, to Leadership San Antonio, thank you. To our partners, to Texas Organizing Project and Texas Civil Rights Project, who are the lawyers for us whenever we have to go fight for something. They protect me from the Attorney General. To Texas Rising, to Jolt, to Workers' Defense Project, to all of the movement organizations doing this work every single day, thank you. To the Move Texas Board of Directors, who believed in me, who believed in our vision, who believed in our budget when we put it in front of them and it was double the size. Thank you for believing in us and the power of young people. To the Move Texas alumni, so many who are here tonight who came through our programs but now work at, you know, in political networks who work in City Hall, who work in County Commissioner's Court, who run campaigns. You are the embodiment of our vision and so thank you so much. And then finally, or second to finally, the staff. I have never worked with a more passionate, dedicated staff in my entire life. The amount of, you know, time that they dedicate to this organization is unfathomable and it's because of their dedication that we are who we are. But I must thank, first, Mia, who, Mia Balderas is our executive manager and I would not be anywhere if it wasn't for her. She's the one that tells me to go take a walk or eat lunch or that kind of thing, so thank you, Mia. And then to Claudia and to Hannah, who has shown us the way from where we came from and is showing us the future.  And then finally to my family, to Martin, to Drew, to Graham, to Gretchen, who is supporting me during every step of my journey at Move. They've allowed me to miss dinner. They've allowed me to show up late to school events. They've allowed me to work the weekends and to focus on this work when it mattered most and when people relied on us. And so thank you for your patience to me and promise, I promise to make it up to you over the next couple months, even though I don't vacation well. So as I close out my time at Move, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll announce my next steps in the coming weeks, but I can rest assure you that together we will build progressive movement infrastructure together for our family, for our friends, and for our communities. And we will win. We will win. We will win and we will win for all of them. So please support Move Texas right now, with your time, with your talent, and with your treasure, because you know I'm not going to make a speech without a fundraising pitch in it. So pull out your phone and donate. This incredible organization deserves all you can give it. I'll be right beside you starting on Friday afternoon, cheering them on for the way. So thank you for your support of me, your support of Move Texas, and for your belief in the power of young Texans. I don't think we brought tissues. We have hand sanitizer, clerks, wipes, but we forgot the tissues. I want to thank you all for being here. This is really an important moment in the life of Move Texas, just Texas in general. That was not a mistaken word. Thank you all. Thank you and stay, have another drink, have some food. But before we let Drew go, you know, what's a party without some cake?  So we're going to have you cut it. There's cupcakes for you all to take home or have now or whatever works. But again, thank you all for coming. We want to thank Nowcast San Antonio. We want to thank the good kind. And we want to thank Jlan events who really put this all together because Move Texas is not an event company. We're a youth civic organizing company. So thank you, Casey. Thank you, Jlan. Please stay. Enjoy the evening. Thank you for coming.
