it's

we'll

a
brief

A
D
B
B
B
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
in
support
of
resolution
number
210164
to
recognize
march,
7th
through
the
14th
as
women
in
construction
week
and
to
honor
wink.
I
know
how
important
it
is
to
make
women
construction
more
visible,
so
other
girls
and
women
can
know
it's
a
career
option
for
them.
That's
one
of
the
things
I
like
the
most
about
wink.
B
We
have
a
website,
podcast
and
speaker's
bureau
to
spread
the
word
that
yes,
women
can
do
these
jobs
and
we
get
paid
well
for
them.
I
love
my
job
and
I
want
to
give
back
by
talking
about
what
it's
like
to
be
a
woman
in
a
construction
trade
and
to
mentor
the
next
group
of
trades
women.
We
need
more
women
like
me
to
enter
and
succeed
in
the
trade.
B
The
whole
community
needs
to
get
behind
it
and
wink
speaks
to
and
educates
everyone
from
unions,
apprenticeships
and
other
training
programs
to
trade
schools,
high
schools,
industry
representatives
and
anyone
who
wants
to
learn
more
another
way
that
wink
supports
trade.
Women
is
by
gathering
us
together
on
trades
women,
thursdays,
the
third
thursday
of
every
month,
I'm
proud
to
be
a
part
of
wink,
as
we
support
increased
and
advanced
participation
of
women
in
construction
manufacturing
and
transit
careers
in
the
philadelphia
region.
B
B
B
Good
morning
my
name
is
ash
ritchie,
I'm
an
apprentice
electrician
with
ibw
vocal
union
98.
I've
been
in
the
local
for
three
and
a
half
years.
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
steering
committee
for
wink
women
and
non-traditional
career
careers
initiative.
Here
in
philly
and
a
member
of
link's
speaker
bureau,
I'm
happy
to
be
here
to
comment
in
support
of
resolution
number
210164
to
recognize
march
7th
through
14th
as
women
in
construction
week
and
honor
wink.
B
I
personally
feel
very
blessed
to
be
a
member
of
my
union
to
receive
a
free
education
through
my
union
to
get
paid
proper
wages.
As
I
learn
the
trade,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
other
women
have
access
to
this
opportunity.
That's
why
I
believe
in
wink.
I
believe
that
it's
become
an
important
resource
for
aspiring
trades
women
and
for
young
women
that
may
not
yet
know
about
the
trades
as
an
option
for
them
due
to
a
lack
of
visibility
and
accessibility,
volunteer
trades
will
win
podcast
interviews
and
videos,
social
media,
our
website.
B
They
provide
more
of
that
visibility
to
let
women
know
that,
yes,
the
trades
are
open
to
them
and,
yes,
they
are
more
than
capable
of
doing
the
work.
I
believe
this
work
as
a
whole
is
good
for
the
industry
and
it's
incredibly
important
for
gender
equity.
These
traditionally
male
dominated
trades
offer
solid
wages,
benefits
stability,
not
to
mention
that
unions
have
basically
eliminated
the
gender
wage
gap,
the
more
people
that
know
about
this
initiative,
the
better.
B
So
we
speak
to
everyone
from
unions,
apprenticeships
and
other
training
programs
to
trade
schools,
high
schools,
industry
representatives,
anyone
who
wants
to
be
involved
or
learn
more
hoping
to
spread
this
message
that
women
belong
in
the
trade
and
it
is
an
option
for
them
as
they
look
towards
the
future.
I'm
proud
to
be
part
of
this
initiative,
as
we
support,
increase
and
advance
the
participation
of
women
in
construction
manufacturing
and
transit
careers
in
this
region.
Please
support
this
resolution
to
recognize
march
7th
through
14th
as
women
in
construction
week
and
to
honor
wink.
B
B
B
We-
I
am
here
today
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
be
here.
I
am
for
resolution
210164
to
recognize
march
7th,
through
the
14th
as
women
in
construction
week
and
to
honor
the
national
association
of
women
in
construction.
K
A
A
Okay,
now
we've
concluded
our
public
comment
session.
We
will
now
consider
the
bills
and
resolutions
on
the
second
reading
in
our
past
final
passes
calendar.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
mr
decker
to
please
read
the
title
of
resolution
number.
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
president,
before
I
am
recognized
for
the
motion,
may
I
make
brief
remarks
regarding
this
resolution.
H
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
president.
I
wanted
to
very
quickly
talk
about
this
resolution
because
we've
been
working
on
this
for
several
months
and
the
resolution
is
calling
on
the
pension
board
to
establish
environmental,
social
and
governance
criteria
as
a
part
of
its
investment
policy
statement
and
asking
for
climate
risk
disclosure
where
appropriate.
H
H
H
H
Through
this
hard
work,
the
board
has
shown
that
you
can
meet
fiduciary
obligations
and
use
active
strategies
to
address
systematic
challenges
in
the
financial
system.
It
is
because
of
this
visionary
work
that
I
wanted
to
work
with
the
pension
board
on
how
we
can
begin
thinking
about
our
city's
financial
exposure
to
the
impacts
of
climate
change.
H
I
am
grateful
to
the
pension
board
to
their
staff
for
their
hard
work
and
collaboration
with
my
office,
and
I
wanted
to
personally
thank
a
few
people
from
the
pension
board,
including
the
staff,
all
the
members
of
the
pension
board,
but
most
especially
carol
stoops
baylor
of
dc
47,
veronica
penke
of
dc
33
ron,
stagliano
of
the
fraternal
order
of
police
and
brian
coughlin,
of
the
international
association
of
firefighters
and
bob
mcdermott
council
president
on
our
team.
H
They
all
work
together
very
closely
with
my
team,
with
eliza
with
santos
and
taylor,
to
ensure
we
could
see
this
resolution
to
conclusion,
so
I
want
to
personally
thank
them
for
their
openness
to
working
with
my
team
and
I
to
ensure
that
we
were
able
to
address
all
the
challenges
with
this
a
very
complicated
issue,
and
finally,
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
colleagues,
for
your
support
on
this
resolution
for
our
continued
ongoing
collaboration
on
how
we
can
best
prepare
our
city
for
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
with
that
council
president.
B
A
A
Thank
you
has
been
properly
moved
in
second,
can
we
have
a
moment
of
silence.
A
A
A
D
A
resolution
declaring
march
7-14
2021
during
women's
history
month
as
women
in

week
in
the
city
of

Chair.
D
A
resolution
honoring
and
commending
jennifer
r
clark
for
her
15-year
tenure
as
the
executive
director
of
the
public
interest
law
center
and
her
strategic,
pioneering
and
transformative
work
to
expand
access
to
justice.
That
has
changed
the
lives
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
across
pennsylvania
and
the
nation.
B
I
A
D
I
Thank
you,
council
president.
This
week,
we've
had
a
lot
of
great
news
as
it
relates
to
the
kova
19
pandemic.
Governor
wolf
announced
how
the
jnj
vaccines
will
be
used
to
vaccinate
teachers
throughout
the
commonwealth,
and
he
anticipates
that
we'll
have
all
teachers
and
contractors
vaccinated
by
the
end
of
march.
Also,
president
biden
recently
announced
that
he
anticipates
by
the
end
of
may.
I
But
we
also
have
to
recognize
and
remember
that,
a
year
ago
we
were
in
our
council
chambers
we're
doing
things
that
we
normally
would
do.
And
then
we
have
the
onset
of
the
novel
coronavirus
and
we
have
lost
over
500
souls
in
this
nation
in
philadelphia
alone,
over
three
thousand
people,
and
so
we
have
to
recall
and
remember
all
of
the
people
that
lost
their
lives,
our
first
responders,
our
essential
workers,
so
many
individuals
that
lost
that
we
have
lost
based
on
this
pandemic.
I
I
want
to
commend
smart
city
policy
for
working
with
various
cities
around
the
nation,
152
cities
and
36
states
acknowledged
march
1st,
as
our
first
covet
victims
and
survivors
memorial
day,
and
I
think,
because
of
the
impact
that
this
pandemic
has
had
and
for
us
to
never
forget
those
people
that
we've
lost
so
many
of
our
loved
ones,
our
friends
co-workers.
I
That
is
important
for
us
to
acknowledge
this
anniversary
and
with
that
council.
President.
After
the
motion,
I
would
like
us
to
take
a
moment
of
silence
to
just
reflect
on
what
has
happened
over
the
past
year.
I
move
for
the
adoption
of
the
resolution.

Thank
you,
mr
president,
as
I
mentioned
last
week
period,
poverty
is
a
real
issue
and
it's
a
very
serious
issue
and
those
of
us
who
are
women
who
have
a
menstrual
cycle.
We
know
that
the
terror
that
can
happen
when
your
menstrual
cycle
becomes
it
happens,
and
you
are
unaware
that
it
was
gonna
happen
and
so
for
women
who
are
in
period
poverty
and
do
not
have
access
to
product,
it's
critically
important.

President,
a
few
weeks
ago
I
stood
in
front
of
the
link
and
employed
the
mayor
to
put
in
place
a
vaccination
plan
big
enough
and
bold
enough
vaccinate
the
city
to
speed
our
citizens
demand
in
order
to
get
our
lives
back
our
families
back
and
get
us
back
to
work
for
three
weeks
administration
rejected
the
plan
saying
we
didn't
have
enough
vaccines
to
make
a
site
as
big
as
the
link
necessary.
E
E
E
Two
months
earlier,
and
unfortunately
for
all
of
us
two
months
earlier
than
the
city's
current
plan,
this
plan
can
only
mean
one
thing:
the
city
intends
to
get
all
of
our
vaccines
by
the
end
of
may,
but
remains
woefully
unprepared
to
deliver
them
until
the
end
of
july,
and
that's
if
you
believe
in
the
ability
of
the
city
to
scale
up
to
deliver
them
by
july,
given
the
plan
they
presented.
So
let
me
just
take
a
quick
look
at
the
plan.
E
This
plan
says
that
35
of
the
city's
capacity
to
deliver
doses
by
the
last
week
of
april
will
come
from
fema.
There
are
only
two
problems
with
this
assumption.
First,
the
fema
site
is
set
to
close
by
the
last
week
of
april.
Second,
fema
is
not
responsible
for
providing
capacity
for
the
city's
dose
allocation.
Fema
has
its
own
separate
dose
allocation.
E
Now,
let's
re-run
the
numbers
for
a
moment
using
the
current
white
house
plan
for
vaccine
delivery
and
the
current
understanding
of
fema's
role
in
our
city's
distribution
assume
under
the
biden
timeline.
Our
dose
count
is
hundred
thousand
per
week
by
the
end
of
april,
and
not
the
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
in
the
continuous
department.
E
E
My
fellow
colleagues,
this
is
a
plan
built
for
failure.
The
philly
fighting
covert
disaster
just
doesn't
happen
on
its
own.
It
happens
when,
because
we
failed
the
plan.
Jumping
the
line
at
the
convention
center
doesn't
just
happen.
It
happens
because
we
failed
to
play
22
of
the
doses
going
to
african
americans
who
make
up
44
of
philadelphia
doesn't
just
happen.
It
happens
because
we
failed
to
prevent
it
when
the
convention
center
was
chosen
as
a
fema
site.
E
Today
came
out
today,
whyy
reports
that
the
white
neighborhoods
within
walking
distance
of
the
convention
center
are
trying
to
jump
the
line
and
what
is
the
administration's
response?
The
mayor
said
scolding
philadelphians
to
examine
their
conscience.
I
say
to
the
mayor
and
administration:
why
don't?
We
first
examine
our
failed
technology?
E
We
don't
expect
perfection,
but
we
do
expect
leadership
to
admit
when
they
are
wrong,
have
made
mistakes
and
then,
let's
work
together
to
get
it
right.
Just
this
morning,
I
received
a
response
to
my
questioning
of
the
projected
doses
in
the
plan.
The
mayor
says,
the
plan
is
fluid
and
the
charts
are
merely
illustrative.
E
E
I
listened
to
president
biden
when
he
revised
the
timetable
for
doses.
I
assure
you
that
president
biden
was
not
being
fluid
or
illustrative
when
he
announced
his
plan,
and
neither
should
we
until
we
own
up
to
the
real
numbers
and
a
real
plan.
We
will
lose
the
fight
for
racial
equity
and
ensure
that
our
city
will
still
be
fighting
this
pandemic,
while
other
big
cities
in
america
are
on
the
road
to
recovery.
E
Yesterday
I
hosted
a
conference
call
with
our
partners
who
could
get
this
done
and
they
all
stand
ready
to
deploy
the
link
to
deliver
10,
000
plus
vaccinations
a
day
today,
link
doesn't
just
stand
as
the
best
option.
It's
probably
the
only
option
on
large
scale.
We
have
left
to
get
there
by
the
end
of
may.
E
The
mayor
wants
us
to
hand
over
50
million
dollars
today.
For
this
plan
that
does
not
work.
I
cannot
vote
until.
I
see
a
plan
that
works
one,
that's
as
big
and
bold
as
the
hopes
and
dreams
we
all
have
for
a
city
that
can
finally
put
this
pandemic
behind
us.
This
is
the
most
important
issue
of
our
life.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
A
E
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
president,
I
had
a
technical
connection
problem
and.
G
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
I
want
to
thank
council
member
dom
for
all
of
the
work
and
advocacy
he
has
done
in
on
this
effort.
Really
elevating
the
seriousness
of
the
amount
of
work
in
front
of
us
and
yesterday's
plan
submitted
by
the
administration
that
was
produced
prior
to
the
the
biden
administration,
I
agree
with
him
must
be
updated
to
reflect
on
some
of
those
realities.
This
has
been
a
very,
very
bumpy
ride.
G
I
said
that
last
thursday,
as
I
stood
in
the
mass
vaccination
center
in
my
district
as
I
work
with
fema
and
all
of
the
federally
certified
health
centers,
not
only
in
my
district,
but
you
know
throughout
the
city
for
us
to
roll
out
bolder,
more
aggressive
plans.
Transportation
is
a
challenge.
G
We
saw
that
even
in
center
city,
we
have
many
seniors
scheduled
today
and
tomorrow
and
many
of
my
non-profit
organizations
have
had
to
rent
vans
and
provide
transportation
services
to
get
folks
here
to
center
city,
and
it's
been
an
incredible
challenge,
and
so
I
agree
with
councilman
dom
that
this
plan
has
to
be
updated
in
boulder.
I
know
that
councilwoman
bass,
who
now
is
part
of
the
vaccination
advisory
council,
will
work
with
the
administration.
G
I
know
district
council
people
are
working
on
this
aggressively
ensure
equity
in
addition
to
community
academy
high
school.
G
In
my
district,
I
have
several
different
locations
that
fema
is
looking
at
in
my
district,
so,
yes,
it's
not
an
either
or
it
is,
and
and
and
and
and
as
we
scale
up
this
issue,
but
we
have
to
bear
in
mind
that
septa
and
some
of
the
challenges
of
septa
create
a
problem
for
folks
wanting
to
get
on
public
transportation
and
ultimately
it
is
about
getting
those
small
independent
providers
in
our
district,
the
smaller
pharmacies,
all
of
those
things
which
we
are
working
on
all
of
us
to
ensure
as
much
neighborhood-based
access
as
in
possible.
G
So
I
joined
the
council
member
and
saying
yes,
this
plan
needs
to
be
updated
and
reflected.
I
encourage
all
of
my
council
colleagues
to
continue
to
work
with
council
member
bass
and
the
administration
to
expand
that
that
access-
and
I
do
think-
and
I
will
continue
to
support
councilmember
dom
and
his
in
and
whoever
submits
a
proposal
for
the
link
for
that
to
also
become
an
option
for
us.
Are
we
where
we
need
to
be
absolutely
not
counsel?
G
President
clark
and
I
appreciate
the
leadership
team
for
meeting
with
the
administration
and
being
aggressive
about
us
needing
to
do
more,
but
nevertheless
I'm
I
don't
want
to
send
a
message
to
the
citizens
of
philadelphia.
The
city
council
is
going
to
hold
up
any
resources
for
us
to
get
a
vaccination
plan
on
the
ground,
but
I
will
continue
to
pressure
and
insist
that
these
plans
continue
to
be
updated
and
reflect
that
goal
of
equity.
G
I
too
want
to
make
sure
that
we
establish
goals
that
are
reachable
around
this
equity
issue
and
and
particularly
as
we
roll
out
the
one
c
category
where
districts
like
mines,
essential
workers,
many
of
us
believe
should
have
been
on
1a,
not
1c.
All
of
these
restaurant
workers,
healthcare
workers,
all
the
folks
who
have
been
working
throughout
this
entire
year
and
this
pandemic,
so
I
want
to
thank
council
member
don
for
his
advocacy.
I
want
to
thank
you,
council
president,
our
leadership
team
and
councilwoman
bass
we're
going
to
keep
pushing.
G
This
is
not
the
end
of
the
conversation.
This
is
a
continuing
conversation.
I'm
happy
to
continue
to
provide
updates,
as
the
administration
provides
them
to
us.
Thank
you,
council
president.
A
Thank
you,
councilwoman
chair,
recognized,
councilwoman,
parker,.
K
Thank
you,
mr
president.
K
Mr
president,
I
too
want
to
thank
council
members,
bass,
adam
kenone
sanchez
and,
quite
frankly,
all
members
of
this
body
for
aggressively
pursuing
the
equitable
distribution
of
the
cove
vaccine
to
all
residents
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
the
passion
and
the
sense
of
urgency
that
we
hear
from
all
regarding
this
issue
is
extremely
necessary
and
warranted
with
that
being
said,
mr
president,
I
just
wanted
to
note
for
the
record
that,
when
we
hear
that
the
plan
that
was
presented
is
fluid
as
a
result
of
our
leadership
meeting,
mr
president,
that
we
had
with
the
administration
last
week,
I
have
to
affirm
that
it
is
fluid
and
it
is
fluid
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
talked
about
that
was
not
included
and
what
was
distributed
is
vaccine
sites
that
what
we're
calling
neighborhood
based
vaccine
sites,
one
in
every
council
district
in
particular.
K
In
addition
to
that,
mr
president,
I
have
to
note
this.
I
am
a
huge
fan
of
of
information,
mr
president,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
discussed
is
that
every
vaccination
site
throughout
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
particularly
by
council
district,
should
be
readily
available
for
public
view,
so
that
no
matter
where
you
live
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
we
wouldn't
care
if
it's,
the
vaccine
is
being
distributed
as
a
hospital
or
at
a
church
or
some
other
neighborhood
based
facility.
K
That
residents
across
the
city
should
see
that
menu.
During
our
leadership
meeting
the
mayor
and
his
team
affirmed
that
and
and
noted
that
that
is
something
as
well
that
they
would
work
on
while
making
sure
that
district
council
members,
you
know
in
particular,
and
of
course
all
of
our
at-large
members,
would
be
informed
and
and
asked
to
add
value.
You
know,
mr
president,
where
possible
so
to
council,
member,
dom
council,
member
bass,
maria
canone
sanchez
and
all
members
of
council.
K
I
think
we're
all
rowing
in
the
in
in
the
right
direction,
because
we
want
to
see
the
equitable
distribution
of
this
vaccine
readily
available
to
people
across
the
city
and
in
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
So,
thank
you
all
and
I'm
proud
to
be
a
part
of
this
body
that
has
not
in
any
way
shape
or
form
underestimated
the
sense
of
urgency
that
we
face
right
now
regarding
this
issue,
so
dahm
in
particular.
I
want
to
thank
you,
sir,
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
F
A
A
problem
chair
recognizes
councilwoman,
gilmore,
richardson.
H
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president.
I
I
quickly
wanted
to
thank
our
appropriations,
chair
council
member
sanchez
for
her
work.
Even
during
the
hearing,
I
was
listening
to
that
appropriations
committee
hearing
and
our
chair
of
public
health
and
human
services
council
member
bass
for
all
of
her
work
on
this
issue,
but
I
also
rise
in
a
continued
support
of
my
colleague
councilmember
dom
and
for
his
persistence
in
ensuring
that
we
can
have
an
equitable
distribution
of
the
vaccine
across
communities
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
H
While
I
recognize
we
have
faced
significant
challenges:
the
onset
of
the
distribution,
I
do
want
to
personally
thank
the
administration
for
partnering
and
working
with
my
office
to
ensure
that
we
were
able
to
have
a
briefing
for
local
community
pharmacies
to
walk
them
through
the
process,
step
by
step
on
how
they
can
become
a
part
of
the
vaccine
distribution
in
our
local
communities
in
philadelphia.
H
So
I
agree
with
our
majority
leader
and
our
leadership
team
that
we
are
all
rowing
in
the
same
direction.
It's
important
for
us
to
continue
to
work
together
to
have
an
equitable
distribution
of
the
vaccine
and
while
the
numbers
are
increasing,
we
are
still
on
the
low
end,
as
it
relates
to
african
americans
who
have
been
vaccinated
in
the
city.
H
So
I
want
to
continue
to
work
with
all
of
you
all
of
my
colleagues,
our
leadership
team
and
the
administration
to
ensure
that
we
can
have
a
distribution
of
this
vaccine
across
zip
codes
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
and
I
want
to
put
on
the
record
of
three
neighborhoods
that
I
have
heard
from
consistently
in
my
office
and
I'm
going
to
put
this
on
the
record
today.
So
that
folks
know
where
I
am
now.
Of
course,
councilmember
jones,
my
district
council
member
and
my
colleague
I'm
going
to
put
winfield
on
the
record.
H
We
have
a
naturally
occurring
aging
communities,
particularly
in
winfield
heights,
but
also
we
have
a
large
seasoned
citizens
population
in
winfield
proper.
So
I'm
putting
winfield
19131
on
the
map.
Also
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
constituents-
and
I
can't
even
count
my
team
will
have
to
give
me
the
full
number
from
the
northeast.
H
And
while
we
recognize
we
want
this
distribution
to
be
equitable,
I
have
to
put
on
the
record
that
I've
heard
from
so
many
philadelphians
in
that
community
around
the
need
to
be
vaccinated
and
finally,
councilmember
squilla,
the
first
council
district.
H
I
receive
a
lot
of
calls
from
that
area
as
well,
that
is
technically
my
home
district
and
where
my
grandmother
resides
so
I
have
to
put
a
plug
in
for
south
philadelphia
on
the
east
side
of
broad
street,
but
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
administration
and
with
all
of
you
to
ensure
that
we
have
an
equitable
distribution
of
this
vaccine.
Thank
you
very,
very
much.
A
Thank
you
councilwoman
for
proceed.
Councilman
jones,
I
apologize.
Did
you
call
for
a
point
of
order.
F
F
A
Councilman
green
is
teamed
up
to
speak,
is.
F
F
Thank
you,
one
of
the
things
about
what
majority
leader
parker
talked
about
and
in
the
meetings
that
we've
had
is
communications,
there's
a
lot
being
done,
but
it's
not
being
documented
as
accurately
in
a
way
that
gives
other
members
in
this
body
the
degree
of
confidence
that
they
need
and
should
have,
and
that
is
in
part
because
there
are
other
entities
outside
of
government
entities
that
have
to
report
in
that
plan.
There
are
other
entities
doing
that.
F
And
they're
overlapping
priorities,
quite
frankly,
and
what
we
found
and
what
your
leadership-
and
I
think
you
for
intervening
in
this
negotiations,
dialogue
and
joint
plan
is
that
we're
looking
at
what
we
control
within
city
government
and
what
we
can
influence
in
the
private
sector
and
federal
government.
An
example
of
that
is
the
plan
to
work
with
private
drug
stores,
cvs
and
writing.
That
is
the
overlapping
plan.
F
All
of
these
aspects
of
a
unified
plan
have
to
be
put
in
one
as
a
member
majority,
leader
parker,
stated
a
matrix,
a
single
point
of
information
and
that's
the
difficulty
that
is
before
us,
because
a
lot
of
people
are
doing
things,
but
if
we
don't
coordinate
and
communicate
those
things,
people
assume
the
worst.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
as
district
council
people,
which
I
appreciate
the
administration
is
doing,
nobody
knows
your
district.
F
At
the
same
time-
and
I
just
want
to
say
as
an
observation-
no,
we
don't
have
vouching
like
the
national
health
director,
but
we
do
have
farley,
who
is
not
perfect,
but
in
my
opinion,
is
striving
to
move
things
in
the
right
direction
and
at
times
members
of
his
body
feel
not
fast
enough.
But
this
is
not
something
we've
done
before
and
we're
trying
to
get
it
right
and
I'll
vouch
for
that.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
A
Thank
you,
councilman
sheriff's,
councilman,
green.
I
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
colleagues
for
weighing
in
on
this
issue
earlier
in
this
session.
We
did
a
resolution
acknowledging
those
are
lost
through
to
this
pandemic
and
we
have
a
fight
on
our
hands,
but
we
should
not
be
fighting
against
each
other.
I
supported
councilmember
dom's
proposal
to
add
the
link
as
another
location
for
vaccine
distribution.
I
I
did
that,
based
on
my
communications
and
discussions
with
colleagues
in
national
league
cities
and
pennsylvania,
municipal
league
and
other
organizations
around
the
country,
because
I
saw
what
they
were
doing
and
even
though
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this
resolution,
I'm
still
going
to
continue
to
push
for
the
issue
that
counter-madame
is
talking
about
that.
We
need
to
all
look
at
all
available
options
in
reference
to
winning
this
fight
against
covet,
and
I
just
think
it's
unfortunate
that
we
are
spending
time
fighting
against
each
other
and
not
fighting
together
against
covet.
I
We
should
not
take
the
perspective
that
the
administration
coming
out
of
councilmember
dom's
position
to
continue
to
fight
him
on
his
position
regarding
the
link,
we're
going
to
be
in
a
position
and
and
hopefully
soon
having
numerous
vaccines
that
we
need
to
get
out
to
people
all
around
the
city
of
philadelphia,
both
in
large
locations
like
the
link
or
at
the
convention
center
or
smaller
locations.
That
number
of
members
of
council
discussed.
I
Just
yesterday,
we
had
a
call
with
the
pennsylvania
municipal
league
prior
to
the
governor's
announcement,
when
we
learned
about
the
fact
that
j
and
j
vaccines
will
be
used
and
prioritized
for
teachers.
The
first
allotment
will
be
will
be
about
94
000
vaccines
and
they
anticipate
another
allotment
in
order
to
vaccine
vaccinate
all
teachers
by
the
end
of
march,
all
teachers
and
contractors
by
the
end
of
march,
and
I
asked
what
is
going
to
be
the
plan.
I
After
that,
once
we've
gotten
through
the
teachers
about
getting
other
allotments
of
j
j
vaccines
to
do
additional
mass
vaccinations
around
the
commonwealth
and
at
that
point
no
secretary
gormans,
who
was
the
secretary
of
intergovernmental
affairs,
said:
well
we're
not
sure
we're
still
working
through
that
information.
We
don't
know
all
the
allotment
of
vaccines
we'll
receive
through
j
and
j.
So
this
is
a
situation,
that's
very
fluid,
and
so
we
need
to
work
together.
I
We'll
disagree
on
different
opinions.
Members
have
the
right
to
vote
for
or
against
any
bill
or
resolution,
but
at
the
same
point
just
because
someone
takes
a
position,
we
should
not
then
attack
them
for
taking
that
position,
because
we're
all
trying
to
do
all
that
we
can
to
address
this
this
situation.
I
As
I
stated
earlier
this
week,
I
was
deeply
offended
about
a
comment
that
came
from
the
mayor's
office
in
reference
to
my
support
and
other
member
support
for
council
member
dom's
proposed
regarding
link,
but
I'm
still
going
to
continue
to
work
forward
because
we
can't
spend
time
fighting
against
each
other.
So
I
hope,
in
the
spirit
of
this
conversation
and
this
debate
on
this
bill,
that
regardless
of
what
position
people
take
both
administration
and
members
of
council
going
forward,
we're
going
to
fight
together
against
covet
and
not
fight
against
each
other.
J
Thank
you
very
much,
council
president.
I
agree
that
we
are
all
trying
to
deal
with
this
pandemic
and
doing
the
best
we
can.
The
executive
branch
is
responsible
for
planning.
They
have
the
personnel
and
they're
responsible
for
execution.
They
come
to
us
to
ask
for
money
and
this
money
that
they've
asked
it's
not
the
first
time.
It's
not
specified.
They
want
a
lot
of
flexibility.
I
understand
that,
but
I
agree
with
council
member
alan
don,
because
about
this
time
being
it
will
be
over
225
million
dollars.
J
They
have
to
produce
a
plan,
it's
late
in
the
day,
we're
not
in
the
first
quarter.
This
is
a
year
and
knowing
that
the
vaccines
are
coming
and
with
all
the
issues
that
we
have,
I
expect
a
better
plan
and
I
will
be
voting
no
to
encourage
the
administration
to
produce
a
better,
more
detailed
plan
that
covers
all
four
corners
of
this
city
and
every
demographic
that
they're
supposed
to
cover.
Thank
you
thank.
C
Well,
thank
you,
mr
president.
I
just
really
wanted
to.
I
don't
want
to
belabor
the
point,
because
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
on
the
issue
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
things
really
quickly
and
one
is
that
we
all
recognize
that
when
it
comes
to
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
how
cool,
if
it
was
handled,
the
city
really
stumbled
getting
out
of
the
gate.
So
this
plan
is
a
welcome
game
game
changer
in
this
series
of
events
that
have
really
shattered
public
confidence
in
city
government.
C
But
I
do
believe
that
we
are
on
the
right
track.
But
if
we
really
want
to
address
the
racial
divide
in
terms
of
who's,
getting
it
and
who
needs
it,
then
we
really
need
to
follow
the
lead
of
public
health
experts
and
press
that
are
stating
that
african-american
and
latino
communities
need
to
be
vaccinated
at
younger
ages.
C
The
age
requirement
has
to
be
lowered
to
qualify
for
the
vaccine
for
communities
that,
if,
if
they
are
infected,
will
likely
have
a
much
more
catastrophic
outcome,
and
so
we
have
to
think
about
how
do
we
lower
the
age
here?
In
philadelphia
we
know
we
can
do
this,
we
know
that
it
really
requires
the
leadership
of
the
mayor,
and
we
think
that
this
is
something
that
has
to
happen.
C
If
you
really
want
to
do
something
about
those
who
get
the
who
get
the
virus,
and
then
let's
say,
if
you're
45,
you
may
have
a
different
outcome:
if
you're
african-american
or
latino
versus
someone
who
is
not
and
who's
65
or
older,
the
the
odds
are
against
you.
So
I
just
really
want
to
put
that
into
the
conversation.
C
Certainly
hope
the
administration
is
listening
and
hearing
what
needs
to
be
done.
I
think
that
we're
on
the
right
track,
but
we
need
vaccine
sites
in
the
neighborhoods.
We
need
the
vaccine
site
at
the
convention
center
and
we
can
still
use
and
need
the
vaccine
site
down
at
the
link
as
well.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
one
or
the
other.
We
can
have
it
all,
and
I
believe
we
can
do
this.
We
cannot
call
ourselves
seriously
a
city
of
heads
and
meds
without
being
able
to
figure
this
out.
This
should
really
be
a
no-brainer.
B
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
again
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
point
to,
and
thanks
everybody
for
working
on
this.
We
know
how
how
serious
this
is.
B
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
more
thing,
and
it
was
that
you
know
before
the
concern
was
that
we
may
not
have
enough
vaccines
to
have
these
sites,
but
now
the
concern
is:
maybe
we
don't
have
enough
providers
to
provide
the
vaccine,
so
I
think
what
the
call
should
be
from
all
of
us
is
to
you
know:
let's
talk
to
our
partners
out
there
and
providers
and
locations,
and
you
know,
let's
try
to
work
with
the
administration,
and
I
agree
we
need
as
many
sites
as
possible
up.
B
We
need
to
get
vaccines
as
many
arms
as
possible,
so
now
that
we
know
that
the
the
vaccines
will
be
coming
in
and
and
council
member
dominance
said
that
you
know,
there's
there's
going
to
be
more
than
we
could
handle.
We
need
now
to
plan
for
getting
those
partners
on
board,
so
we
could
distribute
these
vaccines
and
hopefully,
with
all
of
us,
combined
continuing
to
work
together.
We'll
get
to
that
point.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
councilman,
I'm
not
supposed
to
speak
from
the
podium,
so
I
will
not
do
that
because
I
think
apparently
that
influences
votes,
so
I
won't
speak
from
the
podium,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
reiterate.
First,
my
commitment
and
now
leadership's
commitment
to
continue
to
carry
the
messages
from
the
members
of
council
and
move
the
needle
forward
on
all
aspects
of
what
you
all
talk
about,
so
that
is
taking
place
and
will
continue
to
take
place.
We
appreciate
everybody's
perspective
because
it
is
very
important.
A
So
with
that,
mr
decker,
can
you
re?

are
there
any

behalf

minority?
Chair
recognizes
councilman?
Oh.
J
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president.
I
wanted
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
voting
to
adopt
resolution
two
one
zero
one,
seven
five,
which
is
a
resolution
refuting
the
article
contracting
for
sex
in
the
pacific
war.
This
is
women's
history
month
and
we're
talking
about
history.
This
is
something
that
happened
in
the
1930s
and
40s.
J
Yet
people
will
be
very
upset
as
though
it
is
attack
upon
them
today.
It
is
not,
but
you
cannot
change
history
when
there
is
such
a
consensus
and
overwhelming
evidence
of
the
atrocities
against
women
during
world
war
ii
by
the
japanese
imperial
army
well
documented,
and
I
won't
go
into
that.
J
However,
unfortunately,
there
was
an
article
and
I
read
the
article-
it's
not
a
very
long
article
by
a
a
harvard
law,
professor
mark
ramsayer,
which
basically
brought
forth
the
idea
that
before
world
war
ii,
during
and
after
women
voluntarily
contracted
through
an
elaborate
process
of
being
prostitutes
for
the
japanese
army
and
refuting
the
testimony,
the
photographs,
all
the
history
about
the
brutalization
of
women.
During
that
war
and
and
the
thousands
and
thousands
of
women,
girls
and
children
that
were
abducted,
tricked
brutalized
over
90
percent
died.
J
And
he
entirely
misses
a
reference
to
the
rape
of
nang
king,
where
the
japanese
army
horrifically
brutalized
up
to
300
000
people.
J
Dead
photographs
of
atrocious
acts
of
sexual
and
atrocities
against
women
and
girls
and
children,
this
rewriting
of
history
should
be
refuted.
I
will
say
that
my
father
was
born
in
manchuria
in
china,
because
the
japanese
occupied
korea
and
my
father
has
no
extra
grind
with
the
japanese.
J
He
was
actually
a
student
at
meiji
university.
J
My
two
uncles
tokyo
imperial
university,
at
a
time
where
there
was
great
discrimination
against
koreans
in
by
the
japanese
in
in
occupied
korea
and
others,
and
there
were
wonderful
people
in
japan
and
there
have
been
japanese
leaders
who
have
spoken
out
against
this
and
here
in
the
united
states.
Congressman
honda
democrat
from
california
has
led
this
effort
as
well,
but
he
did
tell
me
and
he's
dead.
J
He
died
in
2006
and
one
of
the
problems
is
people
who
have
witnessed
this
are
dead,
they
are
dying
and
the
people
have
testified
and
seen
it
as
they
pass
away.
A
new
version
of
history
comes
out.
We
had
a
conversation
once
where
he
told
me
that
the
japanese
army
came
in
and
took
hundreds
of
girls
out
of
a
middle
school
by
force
where
they
went.
We
don't
know,
but
it's
just
they
never
came
back.
J
It's
assumed
and
understood
that
they
weren't
recruiting
volunteers
to
go
to
the
warfront,
with
a
brutal
army
to
get
paid
as
prostitutes
and
because
of
venereal
d's
and
disease
and
other
things
they
were
looking
for
the
youngest
most
physically
fit
girls.
The
history
is
that
women
have
been
brutalized
in
wars.
It
is
commonly
understood
that
many
of
the
prizes
and
the
booty
of
these
wars
was
raping
women
and
girls
and
other
things,
and-
and
so
I
I
do
appreciate
that
we
do
record
this
in
history.
J
We
acknowledge
it,
we
don't
forget
it,
and
I
think
this
resolution
is
a
statement
from
this
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
F
He
spent
two
two
hours
with
me
online
with
about
30
students
during
black
history
month,
listening
to
their
poems
listening
to
their
speeches,
and
it
meant
so
much
to
those
young
people
to
have
counsel
people
pay
attention
to
what
they
they
said
and,
more
importantly,
some
of
the
feelings
that
they've
had
during
the
uprisings
during
the
pandemic
came
across
loud
and
clear
to
the
both
of
us,
and
I
just
want
to
publicly
acknowledge
my
colleague
for
spending
that
quality
time
with
young
people
who
will
never
forget
your
involvement,
and
so
thank
you.
F
The
second
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
scales
of
justice,
and
you
know,
being
a
chair
of
public
safety.
You
know
I
spent
a
little
time
researching
what
that
actually
meant
and
the
symbol
of
justice
with
the
goddess
holding
the
two
scales.
Sometimes
she
had
a
blindfold.
F
I
am
last
week,
two
things
happened,
one
I
stood
beside
remember
gautier
and
commissioner
outlaw
when
they
apprehended
four
individuals
that
had
are
accused
of
doing
nine
shootings
in
my
district
and
a
member
of
gaudier's
district,
and
we
stood
in
that
church,
where
some
of
the
families
of
the
victims
now
could
at
least
rest
a
little
more
at
peace,
with
the
fact
that
the
city
of
philadelphia,
the
district
attorney's
office,
the
philadelphia
police
department,
are
actually
out
there
apprehending
shooters.
F
F
You
have
street
cred
among
them
and
they
are-
and
I
don't
know
how
it
works
in
your
barbershop,
mr
president,
but
he
serves
they
serve
as
therapists
for
us
whether
it
comes
to
sports,
whether
it
comes
to
family
issues,
whether
it
comes
to
politics,
they
are
our
therapist.
F
But
what
I
didn't
know
was
that
their
interveners,
also
when
it
comes
to
youth
violence
that
they
hear
what's
going
on
and
mike
who
runs
espn
along
with
his
colleagues
and
other
barbers
around
the
city,
actually
have
had
in
their
back
rooms
in
their
barber
shops
interventions,
because
they
service
both
ends
both
corners
and
are
able
to
come
in
and
say
as
credible
messengers.
Y'all
should
stop,
and
I
know
you
got
street
cred
from
north
philly.
F
I
heard
something
about
remember
green,
but
from
mount
airy,
it's
a
whole
different
thing,
but
they
still
have
that
street
cred
with
these
vulnerable
populations
and
they're,
putting
together
a
pro
to
intervene
to
become
mentors
to
become
counselors
to
these
young
people,
and
when
I
heard
about
it,
it
created
that
scale
of
balance.
We
have
the
left
hand
of
punishment
that
sword.
You
often
see
in
them
the
justice
and
and
and
whether
you're
in
southerly
west
philly,
north
philly,
mount
airy
or
germantown.
A
Thank
you
councilman.
Thank
you
so
much
that
is
clearly
the
place
where
we
get
educated
as
elected
officials.
Thank
you.
So
much
chief
recognizes
councilwoman
bass.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
president
and
colleagues.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
two
things.
Unintentionally,
that
wasn't
an
original
part
of
my
conversation
this
morning,
but
I
did
want
to
mention
that
councilman
curtis
jones.
I
wanted
to
thank
him
for
his
conversation
around
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
we
engage
our
salon
owners,
our
barbershops,
our
stylist.
C
We
have
an
upcoming
series,
the
first
in
a
series
of
conversations
that
we're
going
to
have,
and
I
want
to
invite
anyone
who's
listening.
That's
in
that
that
part
of
the
beauty
business,
to
a
series
of
conversations
that
we're
going
to
be
having
called
shop
talk
and
that's
going
to
be
held
this
coming
monday,
5
p.m,
and
we're
going
to
have
our
first
featured
speaker,
which
is
michael,
rashid,
our
city's
director
of
commerce,
talking
about
how
we
can
get
businesses
on
track
in
this.
C
You
know
with
covet
and
everything
that's
happening
in
the
problems
that
businesses
are
facing
right
now.
So
we're
very
very
excited
about
that,
and
we
want
folks.
You
know,
regardless
of
where
you
are
in
the
city
out
of
the
city.
You
know
if
you
have
clients
that
you
serve,
then
this
is
going
to
be
a
a
series
of
conversations
that
is
going
to
serve
you
well,
so
we
want
to
encourage
folks
to
contact
our
office
and
be
a
part
of
shop
talk.
C
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
I
wanted
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilman
david
o
for
his
commentary
regarding
women,
who
were
used
essentially
as
sex
slaves
during
world
war
ii.
We
need
to
shine
a
light
on
the
atrocities.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
they
don't
continue
to
happen,
and
we
know
whether
it
was
during
world
war
ii
before
world
war
ii
or
even
a
few
years
ago,
with
the
young
women
in
africa
who
were
taken
from
a
school.
C
You
know
in
the
middle
of
the
night
who
were
kidnapped
and
some
of
them
have
never
resurfaced.
You
know
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
the
atrocities
against
women,
and
this
is
women's
history
mom.
So
you
know
I
just
really
thank
him
for
being.
You
know
someone
who
is
really
progressive
and
thoughtful
when
it
comes
to
the
opposite
sex
and
is
paying
attention
to
the
issues
that
we
face.
C
I
also
wanted
to
say
that,
as
I
mentioned,
this
coming
monday
is
international
women's
day
and
that
celebrates
the
social,
economic,
political
and
cultural
achievements
of
women
all
over
the
world,
and
it
raises
awareness
of
lobbies
for
and
fundraises
for,
global
gender
equality.
C
The
2021
theme
for
international
women's
day
is
choose
to
challenge
which
calls
for
all
people
to
confront
gender
bias
and
equality
and
take
action
for
gender
equality,
individuals
and
organizations
all
over
the
world
are
invited
to
share
hashtag
choose
to
challenge
images.
In
the
lead-up
to
international
women's
day.
2021
each
photo
will
feature
an
individual
raising
their
hand
to
show
one's
commitment
to
challenging
inequality,
calling
out
bias,
questioning
stereotypes
and
helping
forge
an
inclusive
world.
Support
for
women
comes
in
a
critical
time.
C
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
council
president
and
I
wanted
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilmember
greene,
for
his
resolution
that
passed
today
acknowledging
each
life
a
loss
due
to
covet
19..
H
I
rose
this
morning
to
the
devastating
news
that
we
have
lost
yet
another
philadelphian
to
to
covet
19,
and
my
heart
was
very,
very
heavy
to
hear
the
passing
of
someone.
Many
of
us
I
have
worked
with
in
city
hall.
You
could
find
him
on
the
fourth
floor
on
the
northeast
corridor
when
he
was
in
the
civil
affairs
unit
with
the
philadelphia
police
department.
So
I
wanted
to
rise
today
to
acknowledge
the
loss
and
the
passing
of
someone
that
again
many
of
us
have
worked
with
over
the
years
in
city
hall
officer,
aaron
tockley.
H
He
was
also
a
minister
at
calvary,
baptist
church,
and
I
wanted
to
thank
him
for
his
24
years
of
service
and
say
to
his
family
that
our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
you
and,
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
for
you,
please
feel
free
to
let
us
know,
but
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
his
passing
as
we
have
worked
so
closely
over
the
years
with
him,
and
I
just
remember
him,
sitting
by
the
metal
detectors
on
the
fourth
floor
and
always
had
a
kind
word
to
say
he
was
always
dressed
to
the
nines.
H
You
can
always
count
on
him
to
have
one
a
very
nice
suit
and
down
to
the
shoes.
He
was
just
a
wonderful
dresser
and
I'm
just
going
to
miss
him.
His
kind
words
his
encouraging
spirit
and
my
prayers
are
definitely
with
his
family
and
the
entire
philadelphia
police
department,
particularly
the
12th,
the
25th
in
the
civil
affairs
unit.
Thank
you,
mr
president,
for
the
opportunity.
A
E
President,
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
echo
to
send
events
to
my
colleague,
councilmember
gilmore
richardson,
as
it
relates
to
the
recent
passing
as
well
as
councilmember
greene
as
it
relates
to
his
resolution.
I
appreciate
both
of
your
leadership.
E
Outside
of
that
we
did
have
a
hearing
a
little
while
back
as
it
relates
to
hit
and
runs,
and
my
office
has
been.
B
In
his
interaction
with.
B
B
Hit
and
killed
in
by
a
hit-and-run
accident
that
happened
yesterday
as
well
too,
and
so
we
just
want
to
offer
our
condolences
to
that.
E
Community,
the
family,
we
understand
it
was
a
really
really
unfortunate
situation
that
traumatized
a
lot
of
people,
and
this
is
another
problem
that
we
have
in
our
city
that
this
legislative
body
is
working
to
rectify.
So
thank
you,
council
president.
Thank
you,
colleagues,.
A
Thank
you
thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
the
forefront
with
your
hero.
Any
other
speeches.
A
A
I
Thank
you,
council
president,
thank
both
council
member
council
members,
gilmore
richardson
and
thomas
for
bringing
those
points
to
our
attention
to
the
public's
attention,
especially
those
who
were
not
aware
of
those
tragic
loss
of
life
that
once
again
grip
us
as
we
continue
to
deal
with
with
covet.
I
want
to
bring
a
point
a
little
more
positive
point
for
some.
I
know.
I
Last
summer,
both
my
colleagues,
council
member
parker
and
councilmember
gilmore
richardson
were
very
very
disappointed
that
they
could
not
celebrate
in
a
activity
and
a
gathering
of
women
that
wear
the
colors
of
pink
and
green.
I
know
they
were
very
disappointed
that
they
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
salute
the
ladies
of
alpha
kappa
alpha,
who
were
scheduled
to
have
their
national
convention
or
boulet.
That
was
going
to
be
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
I
However,
this
evening
they
are
going
to
be
having
their
9th
90th.
Excuse
me,
virtual
north
atlantic
regional
conference
they're
going
to
have
their
public
meeting
this
evening
at
7,
00
p.m,
and
then
a
reception
at
8
30
p.m.
This
is
an
outstanding
organization.
We
know
our
our
current
vice
president
is
a
member
of
alpha
kappa
alpha
sorority
incorporated.
I
There
are
a
number
of
members
of
past
members
of
city
council,
as
well
as
my
chief
of
staff,
kyrah
harris
stephanie
marsh
works
with
the
mayor's
office,
a
number
of
outstanding
women
in
the
history
of
this
city.
So
I
know
that
calling
on
all
of
the
public
to
participate
and
attend
their
public
meeting,
especially
those
of
the
divine
nine,
and
I
know
for
both
council
members,
parker
and
gilmore
richardson,
who
were
so
disappointed
that
they
could
not
salute
and
have
a
chance
to
wear,
pink
and
green
last
summer.
I
They
can
now
do
it
this
evening,
in
a
virtual
way,
by
supporting
the
ladies
of
afcap
alpha
in
their
90th
conference,
that'll
be
virtually
held
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
Thank
you,
council
president.
Thank
you.
Councilman.
