Here's
here
today
as
a

Councilman,
Greenlee
I,

Thank

of
all
those
who
are
gathered
here
today.
Thank
you
for
your
many
abundant
blessings.
Thank
you
for
life
itself
and
a
measure
of
Health
grant
our
city
officials,
council
members
and
those
assembled
here
to
have
ears
to
listen
to
one
another
and
the
people
they
serve
with
wisdom
to
act
on
our
behalf.
B

A
To
gentlemen,
at
this
time,
I
will
take
a
moment
to
thank
everyone
for
taking
time
out
of
their
busy
day
to
come
down
to
witness
their
government
in
action.
We
hope
your
stay
here
today
is
a
knowledgeable
one,
but,
more
importantly,
a
pleasurable
one,
so
much
so
that
you
come
back
again
so
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
today,
this
time
when
his
chair
recognizes
councilman
taubenberger,
who
will
present
a
resolution
recognizing
second
lieutenant
john
edward
james
jr.
and
the
museum
of
the
american
resolution
with
the
second
lieutenant
john
it
with
James
jr.
A
E
Becoming
lieutenant
James
junior
becoming
a
second
lieutenant.
This
is
a
wrong
that
was
righted,
but
it
took
about
75
years
the
army
was
segregated.
Most
everyone
knows
that
that
was
wrong.
Today.
It
is
a
diverse
group
that
is
the
pride
of
this
country,
showing
every
aspect
in
every
in
every
ethnicity
that
the
United
States
has,
because
what
collects
us
as
Americans
is
not
a
race,
a
group
or
a
religion,
or
anything
like
that.
It's
an
idea
for
freedom
and
the
tenant
James
serves
that.
E
It
also
motivated
me,
because
it
was
the
last
act
of
World
War,
two,
that
you
could
possibly
see
someone
getting
up
a
promotion
75
years
that
they
should
have
gotten
it
before.
What
also
motivates
me
and
people
know
that
I,
like
history,
my
ancestors,
my
mom
and
dad
come
from
Germany
Lieutenant,
James
and
people
like
him.
Men
and
women,
brave
men
and
women
liberated
my
ancestral
homeland.
E
Today,
Germany
stands
as
a
great
democracy,
allied
with
other
democracies
working
out
the
problems
of
the
world,
and
what
is
very
interesting
is
is
very
ironic
and
I'm
a
little
off
script,
but
it's
it's.
Maybe
it's
the
Lord
working.
We
have
a
group
of
students
from
Frankfurt
Germany
here
today,
because
Frankfurt
Germany
is
our
sister
city
and
I
would
like
to
ask
those
students
to
stand
and
be
recognized
as
well,
because
this
fits
in
very
well.
E
for
his
service
during
World
War,
two
and
recognizing
the
Museum
of
the
American
Revolution
chairman
and
Acting
CEO
General
John
jumper
for
righting
the
wrongs
of
the
past
and
helping
the
Commission
private,
John,
Edwards
James
to
second
lieutenant
and
as
a
person,
I
was
honored
to
be
in
that
room.
At
that
moment,
whereas
Edward
James
jr.
was
born
in
Johnstown
Pennsylvania.
F
G
F
I
D
J
Whereas
another
relative
during
the
American
Revolutionary
War,
was
a
farmer
and
provided
supplies
to
the
Continental
Army.
Lastly,
another
relative
served
during
World
War
served
during
the
war
of
1812
as
a
private
in
the
second
Regiment
of
Bali's
Virginia
militia
fighting
to
maintain
America's
freedom
and
his
grandfather
served
in
the
first
US
Colored
infantry
during
the
Civil
War
and.
K
G
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
The
hereby
congratulate
second
lieutenant
john
edward
james
jr.
for
his
recent
commission
and
thanking
him
for
his
service
during
World
War,
two,
as
well
as
thanking
General
John
jumper
and
the
museum
of
the
American
Revolution
for
hosting
the
Commission.
E
L
L
A
H
H
Want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
important
at
the
federal
and
at
the
state,
and
here
at
in
these
chambers,
at
the
local
level,
at
the
state
level,
I
may
have
to
give
them
their
proper,
because
in
1955
a
survey
went
out
to
small
businesses
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania,
and
on
that
survey
it
included
a
question.
Would
you
hire
a
Negro.
H
Surprisingly,
that
survey
came
back
overwhelming
majority
said
no,
so
in
the
so
in
the
following.
So
in
the
following
year,
Pennsylvania
act
in
1955,
PL
744
created
the
human
relations
commission.
It
dealt
with
housing,
discrimination
and
employment,
discrimination
and
now
economic
discrimination.
By
way
of
economic
inclusion.
H
Here
in
the
Philadelphia,
it
was
the
late
great
Lucien
Blackwell
who
put
forth
chapter
17500
in
this
body.
It
was
passed
and
then
signed
by
Wilson
good,
who
was
the
mayor
and
put
into
our
law
I.
Want
you
to
know
that
the
people
you
see
here
continue
that
legacy
continue,
that
fight
a
guy
by
the
name
of
Bulow
qui
Yoon
was
the
first
chairman
of
the
local
midweek
celebration,
and
you
might
think
that
that
would
be
a
easy
thing.
H
You
might
think
that
that
would
be
a
no-brainer,
but
at
the
time
you're
talking
about
systems
that
were
put
in
place
to
keep
the
status
quo
as
it
was
less
than
1/2
of
1%
of
Philadelphia's
procurement
went
to
women
and
minorities
less
than
1/2
of
1%.
In
a
city
of
the
first
class,
the
size
of
Philadelphia
went
to
women
and
minorities,
and
thus
the
struggle
started
and
is
continued.
Today,
we've
made
great
strides,
but
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
H
You
see
the
no
Negro
allowed
signs
are
no
longer
there,
but
if
you
can't
afford
it,
you
can't
have
it
signs
still
continue
and
by
leveling
the
playing
field
by
creating,
as
it
was,
a
middle
class
and
upper
middle
class.
That
showed
a
high
way
out
of
extreme
poverty
and
poverty
is
the
way
to
make
long
lasting
change.
J
Whereas
the
Med
Week
celebration
was
started
locally,
as
councilman
Jones
said
in
Philadelphia
in
1984
to
honor
and
promote
minority-owned
businesses

the
Philadelphia

The

of
the
first
midweek
were

just

For

N
A
F
It's
no
secret
that
I
love
the
Arts
I
love
more
of
the
Performing
and
theater
arts.
Because
of
the
movement
it
provides.
The
fine
arts
require
you
to
be
able
to
create
amazing
images
with
your
hands,
and
so,
while
I
can't
do
anything
in
the
Fine
Arts
category,
not
anything
I
have
an
amazing
appreciation
for
those
who
have
been
gifted
with
the
ability
to
take
an
intangible
image
in
their
head
and
reveal
it
on
canvas
for
us
all
to
enjoy
and
with
that
I'm
recognizing
logic,
Oh
project
and
its
artists.
F
On
the
occasion
of
their
one
day,
art
gallery
showcasing
international
artists
and
challenging
the
negative
narrative
surrounding
in
immigrants
and
individuals
from
Africa
Asia
and
the
Americas,
whereas
in
January
2018,
let's
do
a
rewind.
During
a
conversation
in
the
Oval
Office
concerning
immigration
policy,
president
Trump
balked,
at
the
prospect
of
allowing
immigrants
from
some
majority
non-white
nations
to
enter
the
United
States,
allegedly
describing
them
as
countries.
The
White
House
did
not
deny
the
veracity
of
the
reports
and.
J
Whereas
the
founders
of
lay
chapeau
project,
currently
living
in
Morocco
and
Mexico,
were
among
those
who
listened
to
the
president's
comments
with
dismay,
the
organizational
a
chapeau
project
was
formally
established
in
2018
to
democratize
engagement
with
arch
with
art
curating
one
day
only
art
galleries
around
the
world
lay
chapeau
project
showcases
contemporary
artists
from
around
the
globe,
who
would
not
be
presented
in
typical
galleries.
After
the
president's
remarks
they
chose
to
use
their
first
exhibit
to
challenge
this
negative
characterization
of
non-white
countries.
C
Whereas
the
exhibit
is
a
one
day,
art
gallery
showcasing
artists
hailing
from
at
least
15
countries,
including
Haiti
Mauritius,
Mexico,
Morocco,
Rwanda
and
Tunisia,
as
well
as
art
from
local
Philadelphians.
The
exhibit
will
allow
audience
members
to
explore
art
from
countries
demean
by
President
Trump,
like
never
before,
hear,
hear
and.
H
G
With
Leisha
Poe
project
chose
to
hold
exhibits
abyssion
in
Philadelphia,
that
is,
as
it
is,
the
City
of
Brotherly
Love
and
sisterly
effectiveness,
as
well
as
the
first
capital
of
the
United
States,
and
the
only
unesco
world
heritage
city
in
the
United.
States
people
look
to
Philadelphia
as
representing
American
values,
making
the
city
the
perfect
place
for
the
people
to
reaffirm
that
they
will
not
stand
for
racism
or
xenophobia
and.
G
F
G
F
Repeat
the
gallery
will
be
open
to
the
public,
no
invitation
is
required
and
all
are
invited
to
come
and
support
these
artists
resolved
that
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
hereby
recognizes
the
Elijah
Pope
project
and
its
founders
on
the
occasion
of
their
one-day
art
gallery,
showcasing
international
artists
and
challenging
the
negative
narrative
surrounding
individuals
from
Africa
Asia
and
the
Americas
further
resolved
that
an
engrossed
copy
of
this
resolution
be
presented
to
these
artists.
As
evidence
of
these
sincere
sentiments
of
this
legislative
body,
thank
you
for
your
crass.
O
All
right,
this
word
shitholes.
I
said
it
captivated
the
world
for
a
week
in
January
and
it's
absurd
to
think
that
someone
would
characterize
nationalities
entire
countries,
entire
populations
in
such
a
way,
and
so
of
course
it
was
all
the
news
headlines.
It
was
protests,
but
instead
of
just
complaining
about
it
and
making
another
Facebook,
post
or
meme
about
it,
we
decided
hey,
there's
an
opportunity
to
do
something
about
it
and
put
together
this
art
exhibition.
So
the
chapeau
project-
you
can
say
it
with
me:
that's
a
fun
word.
O
Chef,
ho-ho,
so
chapeau
means
hats
in
in
French,
and
it's
often
using
an
express
an
expression
of
saying
kind
of
hats
off,
and
so
this
is
our
opportunity
to
say
hats
off
to
these
remarkable
artists.
So
you
heard
the
diversity
of
the
countries
that
these
artists
come
from.
The
type
of
art
that's
going
to
be
on
display
tomorrow
includes
photography,
painting,
sculpture,
there's
performance,
art
from
5:30
to
7:00
p.m.
as
well
so
it'll
be
some
live,
dancing
and
poetry.
All
kinds
of
really
great
things
so
that'll
all
be
on
display
tomorrow,
Adrien
theatre,
10:00

Tahlia
puerto
recan,
you
in
North
Philadelphia
I,
also
worked
as
a
teaching
artist
for
the
museum,
a
museum
of
art
from
92
through
99,
also
an
artist
in
residency
from
great
Brandywine
workshop
in
archives,
right
down
the
street
and
I
even
got
up
an
award
under
Mayor
Wilson
good
as
a
volunteer
of
the
year,
and
a
long
aside
with
my
work,
which
is
mixed.
Meat
on
paper
in
imprints
I
always
worked
since
Philadelphia
became
my
second
home
from
Rio
de
Janeiro.
L
P
My
name
is
Vonage
now
Cambodian
descent,
my
parents
are
Cambodian
refugees
and
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Long,
Beach
California,
so
my
whole
life.
You
know
people
told
me
because
I
was
poor,
because
I
was
on
welfare
and
I
wasn't
going
to
amount
to
nothing,
but
my
work
that
I'm
trying
to
say
that
I'm
more
than
that
I'm
capable
of
more
than
that,
but
I'm
trying
to
do
what
my
work
is.
I'm
gonna
say
that
everybody
here
is
capable
of
something
great
something
amazing
and
don't
let
nobody
tell
you
anything
different
from
that.

Good

outside.
So
we
can
really
address
our
prison
system.
D
You
frequently
find
yourself
being
priced
out
of
your
own
neighborhood,
so
I
would
like
to
address
kind
of
relationship
between
art
and
gentrification,
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we
break
down
this
process?
So
we
can
address
issues
in
our
communities
without
economically
to
stabilizing
our
communities.
But
that
aside,
please
come
to
the
show.
O
And
just
last
thing:
I
want
to
share
there's
some
really
great
work
happening
right
here
in
Philadelphia
and
in
Pennsylvania,
so
tomorrow's
exhibition
we're
going
to
be
accepting
donations
to
support
pick
the
Pennsylvania
Immigration
and
Citizenship
coalition,
as
well
as
juntos,
who
work
right
here
in
this
community
to
support
immigrants
to
support
refugees
and
to
support
these
these
big
problems.
Thank
you.

A
F
You
thank
you,
mr.
president,
I'm
introducing
two
resolutions
today
and
I'd
like
to
put
up
the
flag
that
says
we're
going
to
reignite
the
debate
around
LEDs
and
still
too
many
of
our
children
are
being
poisoned
by
LED.

Thank

Thank.
C
Q
H
Q
H
H
In
that
tradition
in
2008
we
had
our
second
moratorium
on
sheriff
sales
introduced
by
me,
passed
by
this
body.
We
stopped
sheriff
sales
and
we
were
reminded
that
we
had
no
authority
over
the
Sheriff's
Department.
We
were
reminded
that
we
had
no
authority
over
the
courts,
but
we
were
we
reminded
them
that
we
have
authority
over
their
budgets.
H
What
we
talked
about
that
time
was
stopping
it
for
a
time,
because
at
that
moment
the
largest
number
of
share
sales
in
the
history
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
had
occurred.
We
pumped
the
brakes
stopped.
It
forced
advocates
banks,
consumers
to
sit
at
the
table
and,
as
a
result
of
it,
created
the
mortgage
diversion
program
which,
since
that
time
has
saved
over
12,000
homes
again.
H
Mr.
president,
the
time
has
come
for
us
to
pump
the
brakes
take
a
look
again
because,
as
we
start
to
look
at
data,
that
suggests
that
we
are
back
at
that
time.
These
sheriff's
sales,
not
solely
not
of
their
own
doing
alone,
have
to
be
reviewed
in
concert
with
tax
abatements,
with
sheriff
sales
with
deep
poverty
and
some
of
these
communities
where
people
are
having
problems
making
ends
meet.
In
addition,
things
like
tangled
titles
and
other
things
create
barriers
for
us
to
give
them
assistance.
H
So
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
this
and
not
forever,
but
a
look
at
this
to
see
if
we
can't
adjust
the
dials
a
little
bit
to
help
citizens
because
yes,
we're
in
a
booming
economy,
but
progress
isn't
forward
for
all
people
and
it's
time
to
take
a
look
again
with
a
moratorium
on
sheriff
sales,
Thank
You.

president,.

also
that

Mr.
Decker,
please
call

Joe.
K
Good
morning,
this
is
the
official
decree
Emre
mandamus
quarto
as
such
requires
immediate
action
remedy
every
week,
council,
mayor
and
others
transfer
private
property
to
the
government.
Probably
illegally
canceled
did
not
celebrate
the
birth
of
the
US
Constitution
and
should
be
ashamed.
This
government
refuses
to
get
consent
of
the
government
to
act
stealing
homes
and
other
private
property
without
due
process.
As
recently
noted
in
federal
court,
yet
council
mayor
governor,
senator
and
others
continued
to
wage
war
on
constituents,
Attorney
General
will
rather
go
after
the
Pope
than
the
prosecute.
K
This
Rico
style
conspiracy
to
deny
rights.
Those
violating
officials
must
be
prosecuted
if
committing
one
crime.
One
time
would
send
normal
people
to
jail.
Then
why
are
earth
filing
public
servants
not
prosecuted
14th
amendment?
Nor
shall
the
people
be
deprived
of
life,
liberty
or
property,
nor
deny
any
person
equal
protection
of
the
law.
How,
then,
were
most
compensated?
K
K
A
just
government
must
obey
the
rule
of
all
this
color.
All
government
must
have
its
charter
govern
revoked
until
constitutionally
compliant
government
is
installed.
Public
servants
cannot
refuse
their
sworn
duties
act
any
more
than
firemen
can
refuse
to
fight
a
fire.
The
sovereign
people
require
at
Constitution,
laws
be
enforced
and
jail
was
required
for
all
your
violent
oath
constitution
or
law
I
remind
Council
it
has.
It
takes
a
lot
of
cooperation
to
create
monument,
corruption.
D
My
goes
retired
educator
and
university
administrator,
I'm
speaking
on
resolution,
one
808
3
to
the
renaming
of
the
street
after
paddy
Jackson
who
I
love
I
just
want
to
ask
council
person
Kenyatta
and
I'm
originally
from
South
Philly.
Did
you
make
your
community
aware
that
you
were
renaming
the
street?
Did
the
people
on
the
block
and
I
love?
Patty
I
have
nothing
against
it.
D
I'm
just
asking
about
the
process,
because
I
live
in
a
community
where
Street
was
renamed
and
there
was
no
process
and
no
notification
of
community
people
by
Councilman
Jones,
and
we
were
told
that
he
did
not
have
to
notify
us
for
renaming.
The
policy
says
that
you
do
not
have
to
notify
the
community,
so
we
would
like
to
put
a
petition
and
that
policy
needs
to
be
changed,
especially
if
your
name
is
something.
D
After
such
a
controversial
figure,
I
walk
past
that
Street
every
day
and
walk
my
dog
and
if
I
had
known
and
my
neighbors
had
known,
and
none
of
them
knew
we
canvassed
for
five
hours
door-to-door
and
no
one
knew
this
was
happening.
So
I'm
hoping
council
person
Kenyatta
can
let
us
know
what
was
his
process
for
naming
the
street
after
the
patty
and
I'm.
Saying.
Thank
you
for
doing
that,
but
I'm
also
questioning
how
come
we
didn't
get
the
same
respect
and
due
process
from
council
person,
Curtis
Jones.
Thank
you.
P
P
The
claims
at
the
ceremony
that
Wilson
good
made
that
he
will
not
be
defined
by
just
one
day,
just
one
regular
old
day
in
his
life,
he's
not
being
defined
by
just
one
day,
he's
being
defined
by
that
day.
The
days
after
the
weeks
after
the
months
and
the
years
after
that,
he
refused
to
do
anything
about
bringing
the
people
responsible
for
that
historical
tragedy
to
justice.
P
The
name
Wilson
good
is
a
disgrace.
It's
an
embarrassment
to
this
city.
You
cannot
invest.
He
was
a
coward.
You
can't
erase
history
you've
just
putting
it
you're
going
to
put
up
a
sign.
It's
an
attempt
to
erase
the
history
of
what
his
name
is
connected
to
in
the
city
so
and
I'm
gonna
african-american
woman
years
ago
right
here.
That
said
that
we
are
making
a
moral
plea
to
a
man
and
to
a
city
government
that
does
not
have
a
moral
conscience.
S
S
Well,
I'm
saying
mistakes
can
be
corrected
and
all
Curtiss
Jones
councilman
Curtiss
Jones
attempted
to
rewrite
history,
and
now,
when
he
sent
that
resolution
around
no
one
in
here
who
said
hey
or
yay
whatever
it
is
to
pass
it
and
no
no
we're
honored
did
it
mention
about
the
bombing
and
that's
very,
very
important
and
also
I'm
saying
it
was
written
on
a
lot,
because,
if
that
was
put
in
there,
I
would
hope
the
morale
of
people
who
read
it
would
have
said.
No.
We
can't
do
that.
S
That's
your
friend
and
he's
more
than
likely
a
lot
of
friends,
people
friends
in
here,
but
morally
there's
no
way
that
we
can
put
up
a
sign
and
are
saying
Wilson
goods
way.
When
he's
responsible
for
the
murder
of
11
men,
women
and
children
burned
to
death.
These
children,
men
and
women
had
ran
out
the
house,
they
was
shot
in
the
alleyway
one.
Child
was
fish
up
in
the
air
and
her
arm
shot
off.
You
know
and
then
thrown
back
bodies
thrown
back
into
the
building.
S
This
is
another
fact
that
was
left
our
here,
but
what
I'm
asking
city
council,
because
mr.
Jones
told
us
that
it
can
be
rescinded,
that
City
Council
members
have
the
right
to
you
know
put
in
a
resolution
to
have
that
rescinded,
but
what
he
said,
if
you
did,
then
what
he
would
do
is
oppose
it.
So,
when
I'm
asking
people
anybody
in
City
Council,
do
you
have
the
nerve
to
stand
up
and
do
the
right
thing
already?
It
has
been
a
split
in
the
city
behind
a
situation
that
Kurdish
Jones
has
started.
S
S
Then
you
know
he's
not
going
to
disappoint
job
to
hell
with
us
right,
the
babies
that
was
murdered,
the
men
and
women
that
was
murdered,
the
loss
of
the
Osage
Avenue,
not
even
to
mention
people
who
have
dogs
and
cats
and
birds
through
it.
That
was
birthday
that
was
burnt
to
death.
And,
oh,
you
know,
I
wait
a
minute.
I
noticed
that
oh
do
you
are
Mr
Clarke
and
or
you
know,
we
would
really
like
to
have
a
meeting
with
y'all,
because
this
city
is
going
up
in
the
turmoil.
S
T
T
It's
then
spent
district
building
of
a
research
facility
and
expansion
of
temple,
police
surveillance
and
subject
our
african-american
children
to
racial
experiments.
Cameras
surveillance
is
a
common
research
method,
utilized
and
studies,
just
as
the
Tuskegee
experiments
exploited,
African
Americans
for
scholarly
and
scientific
game.
Temple
University
plans
the
Alpha
Center
for
research
of
North
Philadelphia
african-american
preschool
children.
This
plan
competes
with
existing
area.
Daycares
temple
failed
for
schools.
During
five
years
of
a
school
district
funding,
contract
young
African
American
children
will
be
subject
to
mental
health
treatment
and
studying
and
staff
ungraded.
T
As
staff
ungraded
Temple
University
students
would
be
treatment.
Providers
at
the
psychology
clinic
patients
of
Temple
University
psychology
clinic
would
be
subject
to
research.
Research
studies
temple
must
abandon
plans
for
this
experiment
center
that
they
call
Alpha
Center.
They
must
abandon
plans
to
subject
African
American
children
and
African
American
adults
to
research
studies
and
temple
most
abandoned
plans
for
gel
for
dental
clinic.
There
already
exists
again
I'm
going
this
voice.
T
My
opposition
to
this
travesty
and
I'm,
going
to
speak
up
and
out
against
temple
and
I
want
council
members
to
vote
no
to
early
learning,
research
and
mental
health.
Labeling
of
african-american
preschool
aged
children
in
North
Philadelphia
also
I
want
to
say
that
I
was
at
there's
a
known
community
meeting
on
this
Tuesday
and
myself
up
spoken,
and
it
was
supposed
citizens
this
experiment
sensor
and
everyone
there.
The
community
members
also
was
opposed
to
it
as
well.
So
the
community
members
don't
want
it.
Then
they
don't
want
it.
Thank
You.

there
is

that

diamond
the
people
who
were

upset

agitated.
D
They
were
unabashedly
outspoken,
that
they
do
not
want
this
center
there
and
the
fact
that
other
programs
that
already
exist
somehow
were
added
on
to
what
was
to
be
programs
in
the

A
G
Just
briefly,
council
president,
you
know
my
sole
purpose
for
introducing
this
legislation,
because
I
think
clip
is
a
very
needy
program
and
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
We
know
I
all
know
how
the
program
was
established
and
its
primary
gifts
were
Northeast
Philadelphia.
But,
however,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
city
of
Philadelphia
as
a
whole
have
the
same
type
of
manpower
and
resources
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
our
neighborhood.
So
I
wholeheartedly
call
for
the
adoption
of
this
resolution
councillor
president,
it's.
A
A
Q
And
a

congratulating
Nelson
Diaz

his
continued
contributions
to
the
fluffier
community,
introduced

Councilwoman

She.
A
Q
A
A
E
You,
council
president
I
would
just
like
to
call
attention
to
my
colleagues
and
to
the
city
at
large
that
the
farm
in
the
city,
which
was
a
forum
that
was
a
right
across
the
street
from
City
Hall,
it
is
in
the
shadow
of
the
Municipal
Services
Building,
produced
over
1700
pounds
of
produce,
which
was
given
to
the
homeless
through
the
Broad
Street
ministries.
Today
is
one
of
their
final
days.
E
They
are
giving
away
extra
plants,
they
are
also
soil
testing
by
the
EPA,
and
it
was
under
the
sponsorship
of
the
Pennsylvania
Horticultural
Society
I
commend
them
on
a
job
well
done.
I.
Thank
them
and
I
would
urge
anyone
that's
in
Philadelphia
to
stop
by
and
pick
up
a
free
plan
if
they'd
like
to
do
that.
Council
president.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
G
Thank
You
council
president,
tomorrow
at
southwest
seniors
tomorrow
at
self
a
singer.
Soon
we
were
hosting
our
annual
senior
citizens,
health,
fair
from
11:00
a.m.
on
the
2
p.m.
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
come
out
and
engage
our
singers
to
help
improve
their
mind
body
and
spirit,
and
so
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
event
that
we're
doing
tomorrow,
I'm
a
jalisa
outreach
in
Southwest
Philadelphia
part
of
my
district.
Thank
you,
council,
president
Thank.
I
You,
mr.
president,
I
want
to
remind
folks
and
thank
all
my
council
colleagues
who
annually
join
us
for
the
what
would
be
the
57th
annual
Puerto
Rican
Day
Parade,
this
Sunday
at
12
12
noon
on
the
Parkway
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
supported
us
in
the
past
and
welcomed
them
this
year
and
then
at
3
o'clock.
We
host
our
annual
boutique-y
fest,
along
with
the
city
and
the
police
department,
is
part
of
our
be
safe,
be
proud
campaign
that
we
started
many
years
ago.
I
I
An
ID
should
not
be
a
barrier
for
anyone
to
access
their
city
government
and
our
hope
that
it
will
not
only
become
the
official
identification
of
city
of
our
city
workforce,
but
that
every
community,
particularly
vulnerable
communities,
people
of
leaving
prison
and
others
have
access
to
identification
that
will
help
them
re-enter
into
our
society.
So
I
want
to
recognize
all
of
the
stakeholders
who
worked
with
us,
the
mayor's
team
and
everyone,
and
look
forward
to
the
implementation.
I
G
You
counsel
I
just
want
to
remind
colleagues
that
we'll
be
having
a
briefing
this
afternoon
in
the
caucus
room.
As
many
people
know,
the

of
the
Pennsylvania
Municipal

the
