L
Good
morning,
mr
president,
good
morning,
members
of
the
city
council,
councilman
jones
of
the
city
council,
for
this
honor
we
live
in
frightening
times.
Instead
of
another
world
of
war,
god
forbid
nuclear
weapons
looms
over
us
all
around
the
world,
countries
are
into
turmoil
and
strife.
Innocent
people
are
caught
in
the
crossfire
as
brutal
regimes
struggle
to
stay
in
power.
Government's
overthrown
and
people
live
in
constant
fear.
L
L
L
Our
sages
taught
us
pray
for
the
peace
of
the
government,
for,
if
not
for
the
fear
of
government,
a
man
would
swallow
his
friend
alive.
I
fear
we
have
reached
that
point,
there's
no
fear
of
authority.
Everything
goes,
and
there
is
no
right
and
wrong.
It
appears
to
me
that
people
have
given
up
on
their
have
given
up
they've
lost
their
faith.
They
see
no
future
and
have
resigned
themselves
to
misery.
L
L
L
L
L
When
I
was
a
child,
my
parents
had
a
record
that
I
would
listen
to
it's
about
a
small
train
that
needed
to
pull
a
large
heavy
string
of
freight
cars
up
a
steep
mountain.
I
can
still
hear
the
refrain
I
think
I
can.
I
think
I
can.
I
think
I
can
let's
keep
this
refrain
in
our
minds
and
spread
it
everywhere.
I
think
I
can,
because
I
know
we
can
thank
you.
D
A
A
Second,

A
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
decker,
and
our
next
sort
of
business
is
introduction
of
bills
and
resolutions
and
by
way
of
a
reminder,
we
are
asking
all
resolutions,
including
previous
privilege
resolution,
to
be
placed
on
the
final
passes
calendar
for
the
next
session
of
council
unless
they
are
being
referred
to
committee
in
our
current
remote
environment,
this
procedure
will
provide
an
appropriate
opportunity
for
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
very
much
for
your
anticipated
cooperation.
B
Councilwoman
parker
offers
one
bill
on
behalf
of
council
president
clark
and
sheltered.
An
ordinance
submitting
section
2101
of
the
philippine
code
and
other
residence
requirements
by
clarifying
the
temporary
residence
outside
the
city,
including
for
military
service
or
educational
purposes,
does
not
prevent
the
person,
including
a
police,
recruit
from
meeting
the
president's
requirement
for.
F
F
Thank
you
very
much
to
our
majority
leader
for
co,
introducing
this
resolution
with
me
and
for
your
laser
beam
focus
on
home
ownership
of
our
middle
class
families
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
and
thank
you
to
senator
saval
for
your
leadership
on
this
very
important
issue.
If
covet
has
taught
us
anything,
it
is
that
our
homes
are
so
much
more
than
physical
structures.
They
are
where
we
gather
with
our
loved
ones.
Now
where
we
work,
and
they
are
also
central
to
building
generational
wealth
for
our
families.
F
But,
as
we
all
know,
philadelphia
has
a
very
old
building
stock
in
very
high
rates
of
poverty.
Our
residents
are
the
most
energy
burden,
and
many
of
their
homes
have
significant
issues,
including
exposed
wiring,
and
I'm
going
to
take
it
back
to
knob
and
tube
wiring,
a
mold
poor
insulation
and
more
your
home.
The
very
thing
that
is
supposed
to
provide
stability,
wealth,
health
and
safety
is
literally
crumbling
around
you
and
this
asset
becomes
a
liability.
F
The
whole
home
repair
act
will
help
pennsylvania
address
this
crisis.
It
provides
funding
to
rebuild
homes
and
make
them
healthier
and
more
energy
efficient,
coordinate
services
to
ensure
we
are
taking
advantage
of
every
possible
available
resource
and
create
job
training,
opportunities
and
programs
to
put
people
on
a
path
to
family,
sustaining
and
supporting
careers.
F
This
is
exactly
the
type
of
program
we
need
to
address
climate
change,
build
resiliency,
maintain
and
build
generational
wealth
and
create
new
economic
opportunity.
I
am
so
grateful
to
our
partners
in
philadelphia
like
the
energy
coordinating
agency
and
the
philadelphia
energy
authority,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
foresight
in
creating
the
energy
authority.
Mr
president,
all
who
have
been
leaders
in
this
work
and
I
look
forward
to
our
continued
work
together.
So
thank
you
again
to
senator
saval
for
your
work.
F
I
We
first
started
when
we
put
it
on
the
agenda
in
the
ballot,
and
it
was
a
charter
change
and
over
a
half,
a
million
people
approved
it
on
the
second
leg
of
the
relay
was
to
find
an
eclectic
balance
of
people
with
different
life
experiences
and
a
balance
within
their
geography
around
the
city
that
contributes
to
that
life.
Experience.
I
What
I'm
encouraged
by
this
oversight
commission
is
that
they're
willing
to
take
formal
training
on
how
police
methodology
and
operations
should
go
so,
on
top
of
their
advocacy,
they
want
to
take
training,
and
I
always
say,
oversight
without
insight
is
short-sighted,
so
they're
looking
to
expand
their
experiences
by
taking
this
course.
The
third
leg
of
this
relay
is
you,
my
members
in
council
to
vet
these
individuals
resumes
have
been
sent
to
all
of
you.
I
The
final
leg
of
the
relay
will
be
during
your
responsibility
again
to
appropriate
a
budget
for
the
operation
of
this
commission,
so
I
look
forward
to
completing
the
relay
we're
handing
off
to
the
baton
to
you
and
we
look
forward
to
the
conversation,
interaction
and
and
hearings.
Thank
you,
mr
president.

matter
which
could
affect
callbacks
for
public
comment
at
a
meeting,
but
please
be
aware
that
this
public
meeting
is
recorded
because
the
pub
the

is
public
participants
and
viewers
have
no
reasonable
expectations
of
prophecy.
So,
by
continuing
to
be
in
a
meeting,
you
are
consenting
to
being
recorded.
N
N
And
I
I
want
to
give
a
woman
history
month
welcome
to
mary
mcnab
the
reason
why
of
sixteen
hundred
block
of
page
street?
The
reason
why
this
property,
this
transaction
is
not
moving
forward
because
it's
because
mary
mcnap
has
nominated
the
parking
lot
as
a
historic
site.
She
took
it
upon
herself.
I
want
you
all
to
recognize
that
okay
in
the
30-second
ward,
I'm
so
proud
of
her
without
any
input.
She
decided,
based
on
what
she
heard
from
her
elected
officials,
that
this
would
be
a
parking
site
in
perpetuity
for
those
homeowners
there.
N
So
she
took
it
upon
herself.
So
I
just
want
to
give
mary
mcnab
a
big
shout
out
in
women
history
month.
You
know
we
black
women
have
to
really
uplift
ourselves.
It's
apparent
to
me.
After
what
233
years,
I'm
talking
about
the
supreme
court
just
digressing
a
little
bit
to
see
how
out
of
touch
people
can
be,
as
relates
to
the
black
woman.
N
So
I
just
want
to
uplift
her-
and
I
also
want
to
uplift
in
this
women
history
month
talking
about
housing
and
advocacy
over
50
plus
years,
miss
nelly,
reynolds,
miss
nelly
reynolds,
say
her
name.
She
advocated
like
in
a
such
diplomatic
way.
No,
we
don't
have
to
lay
down,
but
we
do
stand
up
and
she
stood
up
for
so
many
years.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
never
forget.
N
N
You
know
it's
no
way
we're
going
to
be
able
to
obfuscate
what
has
happened
such
a
terrible
tragedy
we
endured
with
no
firewalls.
We
got
to
get
that
reporting
and
see.
If
we
can't
do
this.
Who
do
I
talk
to
about
that?
I
can't
wait
to
you
all
get
back
in
person
because
I
see
how
things
are
moving
in
this
covent
environment,
where
you
could
do
this
that
the
third
with
no
math
score,
but
when
it
comes
to
the
people's
business
we
can't
get
at
you
like.
N
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
testimony.
Real
briefly.
I
just
want
to
comment
briefly.
A
little
clarity's
purpose
is
on
210
848,
the
proposed
affordable
housing
initiative
for
habitat.
It's
been
the
matter
of
conversation
for
a
number
a
period
of
time
in
terms
of
the
conveyance
of
properties.
A
The
new
resolution
was
introduced.
This
nomination.
We
had
asked
the
historical
commission
to
as
quickly
as
possible
to
give
us
an
indication
as
to
whether
or
not
they
were
going
to
hear
the
matter
and
vote
on
the
matter.
So,
given
the
history
of
this
particular
site,
I
want
to
make
sure
all
things
are
clear
before
we
proceed,
but
it
is
our
intent
to
proceed
based
on
the
determination
on
the
historical
commission
with
respect
to
the
parking
lot.
A
O
O
O
Today
I
want
to
focus
and
center
that,
on
our
shared
humanity
and
the
six
families
that
will
live
in
these
homes,
we
are
ready
to
build.
On
page
street.
We
have
the
funding.
We
are
ready.
These
homes
will
provide
a
safe,
warm
dry
place
to
live
six
philadelphia
families,
it's
nearly
30
people
and
more
than
15
children,
15
kidos,
with
bedrooms
of
their
own
right
homework
at
the
kitchen
table,
creating
stability,
and
so
they
can
go
to
school.
O
O
If
we're
serious
about
addressing
the
affordable
housing
crisis,
the
habitat
team,
we
are
ready,
willing
able
ready
to
roll
on
these
six
beautiful
new,
energy-efficient
homes
that
will
be
sold
to
first-time
philadelphia
homeowners,
and
we
continue
to
be
committed
to
our
vision
of
a
city
where
everyone
has
a
decent
place
to
live,
and
my
hope
it
is
our
intention
that
we
will
move
forward
to
bring
these
six
homes
to
page
street
to
life
on
page
street.
Excuse
me
to
life.
Thank
you.
D
D
Great
morning,
everyone
great
morning,
everyone,
my
name
is
tarika
richards
and
I
am
a
future
homeowner
in
the
habitat
for
humanity
homeownership
program.
I
first
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
you,
mr
president,
clerk
and
all
of
the
city
council
members
present
today.
For
your
time,
I
am
calling
to
voice
my
support
pertaining
to
the
building
of
the
six

D
I
am
in
fact,
one
of
those
families
that
would
own
one
of
the
homes
on
page
street.
I
am
a
single
mother
of
two
I've
been
in
the
program
since
november
of
2019,
which
consisted
of
completing
350,
sweat,
equity
hours.
Many
workshops
and
savings
of
escrow
habitat
for
humanity
has
and
still
does,
provide
me
with
the
opportunity
to
prepare
me
to
become
not
just
a
homeowner
but
a
successful
homeowner
at
an
affordable
free
for
myself
and
family,
and
we
are
forever
grateful
for
their
opportunity.
D
Homeownership
means
a
lot
to
myself
and
children
is
not
just
a
roof
over
our
head,
but
a
place
to
call
home
and
provide
lots
of
love
to
my
children
and
generations
to
come.
I
work
in
the
field
of
child
welfare
for
the
city
of
philadelphia,
providing
social
services
to
help
ensure
children
and
families
are
safe.

Thank
you,

You
now
consider

will
be
immediately
removed
from

placed

Mr

This
invasion
has
had
on
europe,
in
particular
nato
allies
and
refugees
that
left
ukraine
to
go
into
neighboring
countries
like
poland,
so
my
point
of
information
is
in
reference
to
the
phrase
and
the
resolution
of
limited
no-fly
zone.
I
want
to
get
some
perspective
from
councilmember.
Oh,
what
his
meaning
is
in
base
in
that
language.
J
J
J
I
do
understand
that
the
u.s,
which
is
our
president
and
our
congress,
is
not
in
favor
at
this
time
of
a
no-fly
zone.
For
the
reason
stated,
however,
the
request
that
actually
president
zielinski
made
is
for
a
limited
no-fly
zone
to
protect
citizens
and
others
who
are
fleeing
war
and
russia
has
stated
that
they
are
not
committing
criminal
acts,
war
crimes,
they
are
not
targeting
civilians
and
therefore,
from
that
statement
they
should
not
object
to
a
limited
no-fly
zone
to
protect
those
escaping
from
war.
J
However,
that
is
something
that
I
believe
we,
as
citizens
can
make
a
request.
Obviously,
the
the
president,
united
states
and
the
federal
government
will
will
negotiate
that
work
on
it,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
hear
from
the
citizens
what
they
think
how
they
feel
about
things.
We
leave
that,
obviously
to
to
our
federal
government.
We
have
no
authority
over
that.
J
You
know
clearly,
but
I
think,
a
resolution
stating
that
we
support
the
efforts
to
have
a
humanitarian
no-fly
zone
where
people
can
safely
leave
without
fear
of
being
bombed
or
attacked.
I
think,
is
important.
There's
10
million
displaced
so
far
and
increasingly
civilian
targets
are
being
hit
and
they're
increasing
civilian
deaths
related
to
that
as
the
war
is
not
going
well
for
the
invader.
At
this
point
in
time,
there's
great
concern
of
increasing
attacks
on
civilians
and,
in
addition
to
nuclear
weapons,
there
are
biological
and
chemical
weapons
that
can
be
devastating
in
their
impact.
J
G
J
To
to
to
my
knowledge,
the
humanitarian
corridors
are
the
corridors
that
exist.
In
other
words,
there
are
only
certain
ways
that
large
groups
of
people
can
can
leave
a
a
an
area
that
is
being
bombed
and
an
area
that
has
no
food,
no
water,
no
no
medicine
and
those
are
usually
along
highways
and
roads
that
lead
to
someplace
else,
and
so
those
corridors
exist.
O
G
Yeah
yeah,
thank
you,
council,
president
and
councilman.
I
understand
on
that
perspective,
I
not
having
a
full
understanding
of
whether
those
humanitarian
corridors
have
been
established
by
both
russia
and
ukraine
and
considering
an
even
a
limited
no-fly
zone
over
carter's
that
are
yet
to
be
established.
G
I
think,
there's,
or
I
won't
say
established-
you
have
to
be
acknowledged
and
recognized
by
both
parties
is
after
concern
that
this
body
would
take
legislative
action,
official
action
without
having
an
understanding
that
this
humanitarian
carters
have
been
established
and
recognized
by
both
countries
and
calling
for
a
limit
no-fly
zone
when
those
corridors
have
not
been
duly
established,
creates
concern.
I
would
hope
that,
based
on
that
concern
that
your
council
member
o,
would
consider
tabling
this
resolution
at
this
time
because
of
that
uncertainty
and
because
of
what
a
limited
no-fly
zone
would
entail.
J
Yes,
thank
you.
I
guess
I
might
as
well
make
my
comment
now.
I
do
understand
the
concern
and
perspective.
I
I
hear
it.
You
know
on
my
social
media.
People
are
concerned
about
world
war.
Three.
What
I'd
say
is
this:
we
are
heading
to
world
war
three,
because
there
are
nine
nations
with
nuclear
weapons
and
one
of
them
is
not
concerned
about
world
war.
Three
that
that's
what
happens.
J
When
we
sit
back
when
we
don't
take
action,
even
the
simplest
things
like
passing
resolutions
for
fear
that
somehow
a
dictator
who
has
already
violated
sovereign
space
already
began
bombing
women
and
children
already
is
invading
and
talking
about
invading
other
places.
We
are
inviting
world
war.
Three,
that's
just
my
opinion
and
you
know
everybody
has
a
right
to
their
own
concerns.
J
A
J
J
H
Just
a
very
brief
clarification,
I
think
you
know,
councilman
o
has
stated
this
very
clearly.
All
of
us
feel
the
agony
over
what
is
happening
at
this
time,
and
it's
not
just
in
you
know
in
ukraine
we're
feeling
the
agony
of
what
we're
witnessing
in
terms
of
civil
war
in
ethiopia
and
dozens
of
other
countries
around
the
world.
But
again
this
is
not
a
statement
about
the
need
for
humanitarian
corridors,
about
the
urgency
of
the
us
taking
action.
It's
not
you
know
about
the
urgency
of
the
us
being
supported.
H
H
A
A
D
A
A
J
A
D
F
G
D
G
M
A
Nine
yeah
all
right.
The
resolution
fails
briefly.
We
will
have
this
conversation
off
grid
because
we
do
get
involved
in
a
lot
of
things
that
we
don't
have
jurisdiction
on.
Frankly
speaking,
you
have
kind
of
set
a
precedent
for
this,
so
there
probably
should
be
some
further
conversation
and
guidance
around
what
we
do
and
don't
get
involved
with
one
way
or
another.
A
We
can't
pick
and
choose
when
we
decide.
We
want
to
have
a
global
approach
for
a
federal
approach
or
a
state
approach,
so
that
issue
is
not
kind
of
a
red
herring.
Frankly
speaking,
but
we
have
done
this
spent
way
too
much
time
on
this
particular
issue,
but
we
are
all
saddened.
My
eye
vote
is
based
on
frank
speaking
and
being
pissed
off
every
night.
I
turn
on
tv.
A
A
G
Thank
you,
council
president,
this
tuesday,
in
the
public
safety
committee,
I'm
chaired
by
councilmember
jones,
just
want
to
thank
him
for
helping
us
to
put
together
this
hearing.
We
will
do
another
hearing
on
the
work
of
mana
phl
prior
to
the
pandemic.
We
had
hearings
on
their
work
at
christian
stronghold
because
we
are
still
dealing
with
the
issues
of
the
pandemic.
This
will
be
on
microsoft
teams,
so
this
tuesday
march
29th
at
6,
30
pm
we'll
be
having
hearings
regarding
the
work
of
mana
phl.
G
They
are
executive
directors.
Some
we
all
know
solomon
jones
and
the
chair
of
mana
phl,
dr
brian
ellis
and
dr
ellis,
did
a
study
and
interviewed
a
number
of
young
people.
They've
worked
with
through
the
mana
phl
work.
The
title
of
their
report
is
exploring
the
lived
experiences
of
black
males
in
philadelphia
around
gun,
violence
and
the
behaviors
and
activities
that
encourage
gun
culture.
So
they
really
spent
some
time
talking
with
the
young
men
who
unfortunately
get
caught
up
in
some
of
the
challenges
that
we've
seen
in
our
city.
G
We
all
know
the
information
and
numbers
regarding
gun
violence
and
so
having
the
ability
to
have
a
more
in-depth
conversation
this
tuesday,
at
6
30
p.m.
I
think
really
provides
the
ability
to
talk
and
hear
from
both
dr
ellis
and
simon
jones
about
what
they
heard
from
young
men.
Who've
been
in
caught
up
in
the
gun
culture
in
our
city
until
I'll
be
this
tuesday
march
29th
at
6
30
pm.
G
Of
course
you
can
always
watch
our
hearings
at
phl,
council,
dot,
com
forward,
slash
watch
or
on
comcast
channel
64
or
fios,
40
and
41,
and
so
another
young
men
that
have
gone
through
and
have
been
working
with,
mana
phl
really
gone
through
perseverance,
they've
persevered
to
get
through
some
of
the
challenges.
They've
dealt
with
and
persevered
to
be
much
better
citizens
and
becoming
better
citizens
in
our
city.
G
School
testify
this
week,
judge
katanji
brown
jackson
and
if
you
heard
her
testimony
her
personal
story
and
she
made
reference
to
the
word
perseverance
and
how
she,
as
a
young
lady,
coming
from
florida,
going
to
harvard
being
in
boston
for
the
first
time
and
being
in
a
cold
temperature,
cold
environment
and
also
received
a
lot
of
cold
stairs.
And
it
was
another
afro-american
woman
that
was
on
the
campus
at
that
time.
G
G
So
I
know
she
is
looking
down
and
smiling
down
at
future
justice,
katanji
brown
jackson,
reflecting
on
the
perseverance
that
she
had
in
order
to
get
to
the
federal
bench
in
1966
and
the
perseverance
that
justice
motley
I
mean
justice
jackson
has
had
to
endure
in
order
to
get
to
where
she
is
now
and
hopefully
on
the
u.s
supreme
court.
Thank
you,
council
president.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
and
thank
you,
council,
member,
derek
green
for
acknowledging
our
sister
judge,
katanji
brown
jackson
and
the
perseverance
that
she
has
displayed
over
the
last
several
days.
But
today
I
rise
to
stand
in
support
of
the
confirmation
of
my
sister
judge,
katanji
brown
jackson.
F
For
so
many
it
has
been
triggering
to
watch
the
childish
clownish
antics
of
a
few,
because
the
experience
that's
been
on
display
for
the
world
to
see
is
an
experience.
Far
too
many
women,
especially
black
women,
endure
each
and
every
day
in
our
workplaces,
during
business
interactions
and
just
being
members
of
our
community.
F
It
is
an
experience
that
many
and
generations
before
me
learn
to
live
with
and
deal
with.
I
always
remember
my
mom
saying:
don't
make
any
waves,
don't
make
any
waves
kathy
and
she
would
always
quote:
hebrews
12
14
follow
peace
with
all
men.
I
remember
my
mentor
council
member
blondel
reynolds
brown,
always
saying
black
women
have
to
walk
on
water
and
fly
to
be
considered
equal
and
that
excellence
must
always
be
the
standard.
But,
like
senator
cory
booker,
we
are
not
letting
them
steal.
F
And
finally,
mr
president,
I
just
want
to
pivot
in
advance
of
our
budget
session
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
in
advance
of
our
budget
and
in
advance
of
the
impending
selection
of
the
new
superintendent
for
the
school
district
of
philadelphia
and
as
a
rallying
cry
for
all
of
us
to
understand
that
this
selection
is
not
just
about
a
new
superintendent,
but
about
a
district
that
needs
a
full
vision
for
the
path
forward
each
year.
Mr
president,
I
remember
this
even
as
a
staffer.
F
This
city
council
continues
to
increase
the
investment
in
education
because
we
know
that
investing
in
our
children
now
will
pay
dividends
later
this
year.
Mr
president,
I
want
to
hear
from
the
school
district
of
philadelphia
on
how
they
are
ensuring
they
are
using
an
equity
focus
in
funding
our
schools,
especially
in
under-resourced
areas,
and
I
certainly
do
not
want
to
hear
the
same
discussion
that
the
schools
are
losing
money
to
other
entities
when
the
school
district
continues
to
do
the
marketing
for
these
entities.
F
Two
years
ago,
while
seeking
to
register
my
daughter
for
kindergarten,
we
were
not
routed
to
our
closest
closest
public
school
and
we
were
using
the
school
finder
app
on
the
district's
website,
and
we
found
that
we
would
also
be
routed
to
a
school
2.1
miles
away,
which
would
require
bus
service
instead
of
our
closest
local
public
school,
which
was
only
0.7
miles
away
for
middle
school.
So
how
does
this
happen?
F
I
can
only
imagine
what
other
parents
across
the
district
are
faced
with
when
seeking
to
attend
their
local
public
school.
So
I
offer
a
few
solutions.
One
every
family
needs
to
have
the
choice
of
their
local
public
school
from
the
school
district.
First,
if
another
school
is
closest
and
they
want
to
apply
to
that
particular
school,
then
the
information
for
their
school
should
be
provided.
F
E
E
E
It
was
a
beautiful
afternoon
and
there
were
lots
of
people
out
and
about
enjoying
the
nice
weather.
As
we
were
walking
to
my
car.
All
of
a
sudden
we
heard
gunshots
ring
out.
Thankfully
we
were
very
close
to
my
car.
At
that
point
we
jumped
in
and
dwayne
told
me
to
get
down
as
low
as
I
could
so
we
waited
out
the
shooting
duck
down
on
the
floor
of
my
car.
E
E
E
Our
precious
community
members
live
on
these
blocks
in
mantua
and
on
blocks
like
it
throughout
our
city
that
have
been
the
backdrop
for
gun
violence
over
and
over
again,
especially
over
the
last
two
years,
and
what
I
hear
from
residents
and
what
I've
now
experienced
firsthand
is
that
things
are
out
of
control
in
a
way
we
haven't
seen
before
it
doesn't
matter.
If
it's
the
middle
of
the
day,
if
it's
a
sunday,
if
there
are
kids
around
shootings,
are
happening
anyway.
E
I
have
childhood
friends
who
live
in
mantua
and
they
are
trying
their
hardest
to
move
away,
which
is
terribly
sad
in
its
own
way,
but
I
can't
even
blame
them
because
their
city
isn't
telling
them
anything.
That's
making
them
feel
differently
about
the
direction
we're
moving
in,
but
if
you
can't
afford
to
move-
and
you
feel
trapped
in
a
place
where
you
feel
scared
to
go
outside
or
to
let
your
kids
play
at
the
park,
that's
an
injustice
and
it's
a
failure
of
our
city
to
serve
its
people.
E
E
E
E
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
work
and
efforts
of
erica
atwood,
who
leads
much
of
the
city's
violence
prevention
work.
Even
with
the
efforts
of
these
women
and
many
many
other
dedicated
city
employees,
we
still
need
to
do
more
to
meet
this
moment.
We
need
expanded
crisis
response
in
mantua
and
neighborhoods
like
it
around
the
city.
Our
community
crisis
intervention
program
is
a
great
start,
but
54
crisis
responders
cannot
manage
the
volume
of
a
city
that
reached
562
homicides
in
2021,
and
that
is
on
pace
to
see
more
in
2022.
E
We
need
crisis
responders,
walking
these
individual
blocks
24
hours.
A
day
seven
days
a
week,
and
if
we
can't
provide
that
as
a
city
service,
then
we
should
look
into
getting
boots
on
the
ground
in
other
ways
like
paying
community
organizations
to
carry
out
these
efforts.
We
know
what
works.
We
know
the
exact
locations
that
need
these
interventions,
and
so
it's
maddening
that
multiple
years
into
this
crisis,
with
thousands
of
people
dead
or
injured,
that
we
are
still
not
meeting
the
moment
with
the
kind
of
response
that
is
necessary
to
make
an
impact.
E
E
That
every
single
city
agency
has
a
role
to
play
in
bringing
this
horrible
chapter
in
our
city
story
to
a
close,
not
in
a
weekly
meeting,
but
every
single
day
I've
been
a
resident
of
the
city,
my
entire
life
and
I've
never
seen
things
as
bad,
and
this
is
about
all
of
us.
It's
about
every
black
or
brown
person
who
lives
in
neighborhoods,
where
they
are
victimized
and
feel
trapped
by
violence.
E
E
Every
waking
moment
of
our
lives
and
because
I
love
and
care
about
this
city
so
much
and
I
want
to
see
it
grow
and
thrive,
and
that
can't
happen.
If
so
many
people
are
suffering
and
falling
prey
to
so
much
violence,
we
can't
sweep
it
under
the
rug.
We
can't
ignore
it
and
hope
it
goes
away.
We
need
to
tackle
it
head
on
as
the
emergency.
It
is
that's
the
least
that
philadelphians
deserve.
Thank
you.
So
much.
M
Thank
you,
council
president.
I'm
going
to
be
very
brief.
I
just
first
and
foremost
wanted
to
offer
my
condolences
to
triumph
baptist
church
and
the
entire
hall
family
as
a
pastor
hall's
son
anthony
transitioned.
This
week
I
am
a
lifelong
member
of
trium
baptist
church.
I
grew
up
looking
up
to
mr
anthony
and
his
his
sons
are,
are
good
friends
of
mines
as
well
as
other
members
of
the
whole
family.
M
I
then
wanted
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
colleagues,
my
colleague,
councilmember
gilmore
richardson,
just
with
her
frustration
with
the
school
district,
I'm
not
going
to
be
long-winded
right
now,
because
I'll
be
on
their
phone
this
afternoon
and
at
some
point
they
got
to
get
tired
of
me
calling
we
need
a
lot
of
things
over
there
and
I
think
a
big
step
would
be
hiring
new
government
relations
folks.
So
we
can
have
regular
communication
with
the
school
district
of
philadelphia.
M
So
we
can
address
the
needs
of
the
constituents
who
communicate
to
us
on
a
consistent
basis.
Last
but
not
least,
I
just
want
to
commend
my
colleague,
councilmember
gaudier,
I'm
praying
for
her.
I
appreciate
her
strength
and
her
ability
to
continue
to
do
the
people's
work
throughout
the
course
of
the
week.
M
I
tried
to
check
on
her
a
couple
times
and
pop
up
on
her,
but
she
was
so
busy
working
even
after
that
incident,
that
you
couldn't
even
offer
some
level
of
support,
and
that
speaks
to
her
character
and
her
passion
and
her
commitment,
because
to
the
constituents
of
the
city
of
philadelphia,
but
at
the
same
time,
what
she
talked
about
around
this
gun
violence
crisis
is
absolutely
right.
Outside
of
the
incident
she
experienced,
there
were
a
number
of
homicides.
Again.
M
This
week
we
received
a
troubling
report
that
a
student
on
the
way
home
from
basketball
practice
was
unfortunately
shot
this
past
week
in
broad
daylight,
just
caught
in
a
crossfire
and
that's
another
unfortunate
incident
that
we're
facing
as
it
relates
to
this
gun
violence
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
So
so
I
do
support
our
request
and
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
see
more
of
a
sense
of
urgency
as
it
relates
to
how
we
deploy
resources
into
the
neighborhoods
that
are
the
most
that
need.
D
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
want
to,
I
think,
bring
to
light
some
positive
news,
and
that
is
the
gift
of
mackenzie
scott
of
20
million
dollars
to
benefits
data
trust.
You
gotta,
love
that
boy.
That's
amazing
stuff-
and
I
know
council
president
you're
a
big
advocate
for
the
earned
income
tax,
credit
and
the
child
tax
credit
and
the
fact
that
we
have
75
000
families
in
our
city
and
300
000
people
who
still
don't
get
these
benefits
totaling
in
the
range
of
600
million
dollars.
D
And
now
I
know
the
benefits
data
trust
told
us
previously
that
for
every
dollar
they
receive
they
can
leverage
that
into
eight
dollars
of
benefits.
So
I'm
just
hoping
that
this
20
million
we
can
all
work
together
and
make
sure
that
benefits
data
trust,
can
utilize
that
money
for
the
citizens
of
the
city
to
leverage
that
federal
money.
So
I
think
that's
a
great
gift
amazing
on
her
part,
I
think
we're
all
very
appreciative
of
it.
So
thank
you
and
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
mr
president,
mr
president,
and
and
thank
you
for
acknowledging
me
without
my
ability
to
type
in
the
in
the
chat
box.
I
I
rise,
mr
president,
simply
to
second
the
comments
that
were
made
by
council
members
green
along
with
gilmore
richardson,
and
I
wanted
to
say
for
the
benefit
of
the
public,
who
are
watching
right
now
that
if
you
get
an
opportunity,
please
google
and
see
senator
corey
booker
from
new
jersey
give
his
comments
regarding
all
of
the
challenges
that
supreme
court
nominee.
K
Katanji
brown
jackson
has
been
dealing
with
in
the
midst
of
her
confirmation.
Hearings
wanted
to
just
give
you
a
snippet,
mr
president,
of
what
he
said.
These
were
his
opening
remarks.
He
said
it's
hard
for
me
not
to
look
at
you
and
see
my
mom
not
to
see
my
cousins,
one
of
them
who
actually
had
to
be
here
today
and
sit
behind
you.
She
had
to
have
your
back.
K
K
He
said
there
were
members
of
the
janitorial
staff
who
literally
would
walk
up
to
him
and
hug
him
because
they
were
so
happy
to
see
someone
who
looked
like
them
served
in
that
capacity.
So
here
they
were
maintenance
workers,
the
janitors,
keeping
that
pristine
building
alive,
but
one
of
their
own
had
the
ability
to
sit
in
the
chair
and
lead
in
in
governance.
K
So
thank
you,
council,
member,
derek,
green
and
council
member
catherine
gilmore
richardson
for
acknowledging
the
importance
of
contanji
brown
jackson
and
what
it
means
also
just
want
to
state
for
the
record.
Mr
president,
that
next
week
I
will
get
an
opportunity
and
invitations
will
be
going
out
to
all
members
of
council
to
attend
an
announcement
about
a
neighborhood
public
safety
and
community
policing
plan
that
once
it
is
circulated
to
all
members
of
council.
K
I'm
talking
about
bike
patrol
and
beat
officers
walking
the
beat
in
our
neighborhoods
along
our
commercial
corridors,
near
our
recreation,
centers
and
near
our
schools,
and
I
think
the
reason
why.
Mr
president,
this
issue
of
community
policing
that
you
council
member
jones
gaultier,
and
I
that
we
heard
so
much
about
when
we
visited
chester,
to
get
an
overview
about
the
success
they
had
made
in
reducing
violent
crimes
in
their
region.
K
Community
policing
is
because
there
have
been
substantial
calls
for
the
defunding
of
the
police
and-
and,
mr
president,
I
want
to
say
this
for
the
record
that
when
I
have
traveled
throughout
this
city,
not
just
my
district
but
in
neighborhoods
throughout
our
city.
I
have
not
heard
at
one
community
meeting
anyone
in
the
audience
or
calling
me
or
texting
me
saying:
shirelle
parker.
We
need
to
be
defunding
the
police.
What
they
have
said
to
me,
mr
president,
is
what
about
moody
and
merchant.
K
What
about
those
officers
who
were
on
bikes
who
walked
the
beat?
Who
got
to
know
our
residents,
who
were
a
part
of
the
fabric
of
our
community,
but
also
gave
us
a
law
enforcement
presence
that
wasn't
reactive?
They
weren't
responding
to
crime?
Mr
president,
I'm
referencing
the
bike
patrol
officers
and
the
beat
officers.
They
were
proactive.
It
was
prevention,
so
I'm
looking
forward,
mr
president,
to
a
very
intense
debate.
K
There
are
some-
and
I
want
to
say
this
to
residents
throughout
the
city
of
philadelphia
who
may
be
watching
right
now
that
beat
officers
and
bike
patrol
may
not
be
involved
anymore.
But
I
am
not
talking
about
this
issue
from
the
perspective
of
those
who
have
written
white
papers
wrote
white
papers.
I
am
thinking
about
those
of
you
who
live
in
neighborhoods
and
you
are
not
amongst
the
30
000
black
people
who
fled
our
city
since
the
last
census,
the
thousand
white
people
who
have
fled
our
city
since
the
last
census.
K
You
are
those
who
are
here
either
because
you
chosen
to
stay
or
you
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
leave,
and
you
do
matter,
and
you
deserve
to
have
a
proactive,
preventive
presence
of
community
policing
and
law
enforcement
in
your
community,
and
let
us
not
allow
anyone
to
guilt
and
or
shame
us
into
believing
that
our
desire
to
have
community
policing
and
a
law
enforcement
presence
in
our
neighborhood
is
a
bad
thing.
Every
philadelphian,
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
K
They
deserve
public
safety
and
a
preventive
presence
of
community
policing
and
law
enforcement
in
their
neighborhood.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
robust
discussion
and
public
safety
chairman
jones
I'll,
be
following
up
with
you
after
this
meeting
for
one
of
the
business
owners
in
your
district,
sir,
has
actually
agreed
to
host
the
announcement
of
this
messaging
and
press
conference.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Thank.
I
I
I
I
I
I
Gompers
and
a
number
of
about
from
roxboro
all
the
way
down
to
barry
elementary
pulled
them
together
and
what
we
do
is
a
monday
morning,
roll
call
councilwoman
kim's
been
on
it.
Representative
parker
has
been
on
it.
Representative
cephus
has
been
on
it.
I
I
I
bring
it
to
your
attention,
because
what
it
does
is
it
takes
cameras
that
oversee
corridors,
safe
corridors
to
get
our
kids
into
school
and
out
of
school,
and
they
are
monitored.
I
Remember
thomas,
like
when
we
went
down
to
the
real
time
crime
center,
real
eyes
on
our
babies,
and
so
when
they
see
a
crowd
gathering
at
52nd
and
lancaster
and
wonder
what's
going
on,
is
that
a
group
of
kids
ready
to
fight?
Or
is
it
just
a
basketball
team
getting
ready
to
get
picked
up
to
go
to
their
game?
I
That
coordination
with
police
that
coordination
with
scepter
to
be
able
to
move
a
bus
schedule
just
a
little
bit
so
worrying?
Kids,
don't
see
each
other
at
their
favorite
pizza
place
simple,
as
that
letting
some
kids
go
a
couple
minutes
early
to.
Let
other
kids
go
a
little
minutes
late
to
save
lives.
I
These
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
need
to
start
taking
inventory
of,
so
we
can
say
you
know
that
didn't
cost
us
anything.
It
just
cost
us
our
time
at
7
00
a.m.
In
the
morning.
Thank
you
again
remember
again
for
getting
up
there
early,
but
it
saved
lot,
not
a
kid
going
to
and
from
school
since
that
installation
has
been
murdered.
I
I
I
C
C
You
know,
whatever
we're
doing,
I
I
say
over
and
over
again
whatever
we're
doing,
we
need
to
do
more
of
if
we're
putting
money
in,
we
need
to
put
more
money
in.
You
know
we're
putting
folks
out
on
the
street
ambassadors
police
officers,
but
you
know
we
need
to
do
more
to
be
able
to
make
our
residents
feel
safe.
I
think
that
one
of
the
fundamental
problems
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
right
now
is
that
people
just
don't
feel
safe
and
that's
something
that
has
to
be
addressed
as
as
quickly
as
possible.
C
So
I
look
forward
to
this
upcoming
budget
season
so
that
we
can
talk
about
that
and
have
those
kinds
of
conversations
about
really
investing
with
the
the
technology
that
I
know
the
police
department
needs.
After
our
hearing
this
week,
they
talked
about
some
of
the
technology
needs
that
they
had
and
to
me,
the
price
tag
was
was
very
inexpensive
with
the
city
with
a
a
you
know,
a
five
plus
billion
dollar
budget.
It
was
nothing,
and
so
these
are
the
kind
of
investments
that
are
going
to
make
our
city
safer.
C
Two
things
I
just
wanted
to
mention
really
quickly
is,
and
I've
talked
about
this
before
is
we
have
opened
my
office,
along
with
in
one,
has
all
opened
a
jobs
bank
over
at
the
nightstand
library
we're
operating
every
monday
and
every
thursday
with
resume
writing
job
skills,
interviewing
skills,
you
name
it
we've
got
it.
We
and
we
also
have
placement
opportunities.
C
This
week
we
were
doing
placement
for
child
care
providers.
So
if
you
have
an
interest
in
that
field,
we
want
to
encourage
you
to
come
on
a
monday
or
thursday
to
be
able
to
receive
those
services.
So
that's
the
nice
town
library
which
is
located
at
the
intersection
where
broad
street
germantown
avenue
and
erie
avenue
all
come
to
an
intersection.
So
we
hope
that
you
know
folks
will
come
out
and
participate
in
that.
C
Secondly,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
knew
and
were
aware
that
this
coming
saturday
we're
gonna,
there's
gonna
be
a
rally
in
support
of
kpbj
our
supreme
court
nominee.
I'm
super
excited
about
it.
It's
at
11
o'clock,
sharp.
You
know
that
it's
calling
for
rain,
but
we
are
rain
or
shine.
You
know
this
is
going
to
be
a
a
historic
moment
for
our
country.
We
want
to
show
our
support
here
in
philadelphia,
and
I
really
just
wanted
to
encourage
folks
to
come
out.
C
It's
going
to
be
this
saturday
at
11
a.m.
One
deal
with
dilworth
plaza
at
city
hall,
so
please
come
on
out
and
show
your
support
for
kbj,
and
also
for
the
fact
that
we
are
not
going
to
stand
by
and
not
speak
out
when
one
this
young
lady
who
was
highly
qualified
and
her
qualifications
far
exceed
members
of
the
sitting
supreme
court
members
who
are
currently
seated.
