Try doing it using XPath to locate your div element, something like this "//span[@class='Linkify']/div/div" and then use getText() method on this div to get your text.

To identify the element using Selenium you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibilityOfElementLocated() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

cssSelector:

WebElement cssElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("span.Linkify > div > div")));

xpath:

WebElement xpathElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//span[@class='Linkify']/div/div[contains(., 'address your concerns')]")));
