By
continuing
to
be
in
the
meeting,
you
are
consenting
to
being
recorded
additionally
prior
to
councilman
jones,
recognizing
members
for
the
questions
or
comments
they
have
for
witnesses.
I
will
note
for
the
record
at
this
time
that
we
will
use
the
chat
feature
available
in
microsoft
teams
to
allow
members
to
signify
that
they
wish
to
be
recognized
in
order
to
comply
with
the
sunshine
act.
The
chat
feature
must
only
be
used
for
this
purpose.
Thank
you.

A
We
have
to
do
what
desmond
tutu
said:
stop
pulling
people
out
of
the
river
and
figure
out
why
people
are
upstream
finding
themselves
in
the
river
in
the
first
place,
I
think
phl
man
up
is
that
kind
of
analysis
of
what
is
going
on
in
our
city.
What
is
the
state
of
a
mindset
of
of
individuals
that
are
most
vulnerable
to
be
involved
in
shootings
or
be
shot?
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and,
as
you
stated,
the
timing
of
this
hearing
is
quite
impactful,
considering
that
the
mayor
will
be
giving
his
budget
address
on
thursday,
and
we
know
for
the
past
number
of
years.
Public
safety
has
been
a
very
significant
issue
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
right
as
we're
going
into
the
pandemic.
I
believe
this
is
one
of
the
last
evening
hearings
that
we
have
that
we
had
in
city
council
on
february
11th
at
christian
stronghold,
when
mana
phl
was
death
really
getting
started
in
drafting
the
resolution
for
the
hearings.
E
At
that
time
now
we
had
356
homicides
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
and
that
was
a
very
alarming
number
at
that
time
for
2019
we're
now,
as
we
all
know,
had
562
homicides
last
year
and
as
of
this
date,
we're
already
looking
at
120
homicides
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
already
eclipsing
last
year's
record
on
horrible
pace.
So
having
the
opportunity
to
have
this
conversation
about
the
work
that
mana
phl
has
done.
E
You
know
simon
jones,
is
the
founder.
This
initiative
as
board
chair,
dr
brian
ellis,
at
drexel
university
over
the
past.
You
know
you
take
some
of
the
work
that
they've
done
and
really
decided
to
really
dig
deep
and
really
listen
to
the
streets
and
talk
to
the
young
men
who've
been
caught
up
in
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
see
that
have
caused
the
public
safety
conditions
we
have
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
so
through.
E
Listening
to
the
streets,
eight
themes
came
out
of
their
report,
dealing
issues
with
trauma,
family
influence,
relationships,
self-worth,
communal
limitations,
communications,
formal
education
and
real-time
engagement
and
having
those
conversations
with
the
young
men
led
to
recommendations
which
are
part
of
the
report
and
those
recommendations
are
the
following:
partner:
10
incarcerated
leaders
with
10
community
agencies
to
address
gun
violence
from
inside
out
as
well
as
get
to
my
notes.
Excuse
me:
I'm
multitasking
here.
E
As
well,
number
two
create
300
jobs
tailored
to
those
who
are
most
at
risk
for
being
involved
in
gun.
Violence
create
a
parallel
educational
experience
for
middle
and
high
school
students
who
are
at
high
risk
to
be
impacted
by
gun.
Violence,
create
mental
health
substations
in
communities
heavily
impacted
by
gun,
violence,
number
five
train
and
develop
resource
connectors
to
connect
those
engaged
in
gun
bonds
with
tangible
resources
and
alternatives.
E
So
tonight
we'll
have
the
opportunity
to
talk
with
both
the
founders
and
all
the
partners
of
mana
phl,
as
well
as
those
done
the
research
and
really
get
a
sense
of
what
they
gained
from
their
conversations
and
listening
to
the
streets
with
the
young
men.
Who've
been
part
of
the
challenges
we
see
in
our
city.
Hopefully,
as
we
go
into
the
budget
process,
we
can
use
the
information
gleaned
from
tonight's
conversations
to
make
a
more
informed
decision-making
process
as
elected
officials
and
leaders
in
our
city.
E
A
B
A
A
Well,
I
could
be
better,
I
mean
you
know
we
we're
in
the
city
of
brotherly
love
and
sisterly
affection,
I'm
not
feeling
the
love,
often
nor
the
affection
based
on
the
state
of
emergency
that
we
find
ourselves
in.
But
I'm
hoping
for
good
news
from
your
report.
Please
state
your
name
for
the
record
and
begin
your
testimony.
G
You're
welcome
you're
welcome.
So
maybe
if
we
were
under
a
different
circumstance,
I
could
celebrate
the
fact
that
man
up
phl,
the
non-profit
that
I
began
in
november
of
2019,
had
completed
a
study
that
puts
forth
five
core
solutions
drawn
from
young
men.
Who've
been
touched
by
gun
violence,
but
philadelphia
surpassed
500
murders
last
year
and
we've
already
reached
120
this
year.
So,
rather
than
celebrate,
I
have
to
mourn
when
someone
in
my
city
can
repeatedly
shoot
a
pregnant
woman
in
the
head
and
stomach
killing,
both
mother
and
child.
G
When
someone
can
wrap
a
body
and
tarp
and
drop
it
in
a
kensington
lot,
when
we
can
watch
murders
on
instagram
as
if
they're
entertainment
rather
than
crimes,
we
need
solutions
and
we
need
them
now.
The
only
way
to
get
them
is
to
understand
the
problem
fully,
and
we
can't
do
that
unless
we
talk
to
young
black
men
gun
violence,
victims
in
philly
are
88
male
and
85
percent
black.
G
G
We
embarked
upon
hours
of
conversation
with
young
men,
who've
been
shot,
faced,
gun
charges
or
lived
in
communities
where
gunfire
is
a
regular
occurrence
written
by
man
of
phl
board.
Chairman
brian
ellis,
the
resultant
study
is
called
exploring
the
lived
experiences
of
black
males
in
philadelphia
around
gun
violence
and
the
behaviors
activities
that
encourage
gun
culture.
G
More
than
anything,
though,
they
spoke
of
pain
and
the
need
to
survive,
losing
my
cousins
family
members
literally
seeing
their
heads
open
that
changed
me.
That's
what
a
26
year
old
participant
from
north
philly
told
us
when
we
asked
him
how
gun
violence
had
affected
him.
I
seen
a
whole
lot
of
stuff
seems
like
that
made
me
be
the
way
I
am.
It
was
like
it
ain't
going
to
be
me.
G
Another
26
year
old
participant
from
frankfurt,
spoke
of
being
shot
by
a
friend
on
the
same
block
where
his
father
had
been
shot
more
than
two
decades
before
the
generational
nature
of
the
violence
is
not
something
that
can
be
solved
overnight,
but
when
we
asked
the
young
men
for
solutions,
they
spoke
of
innovative
approaches
and
we
listened
based
on
their
input.
Mana
phl
made
five
central
recommendations
and
we're
calling
on
different
segments
of
our
community
to
help
carry
them
out.
G
First,
we
call
on
local
universities
to
partner
with
neighborhood
schools,
creating
a
new
educational
pipeline
for
students
who
are
threatened
by
gun
violence.
Second,
we
call
on
the
prison
system
to
use
incarcerated
leaders
to
fight
gun
violence
from
inside
the
prison
walls.
Third,
we
call
on
medical
schools
to
bring
mental
health
substations
to
our
communities.
G
That
last
recommendation
was
drawn
from
the
words
of
a
21
year
old
participant
from
south
philly,
who
was
facing
gun
charges.
When
we
spoke
to
him,
he
spoke
passionately
about
the
need
to
make
real
connections
with
those
involved
in
gun
violence.
You
can't
just
go
build
a
bond
with
somebody
who
got
a
gun
on
the
streets.
He
said
you
gotta
already
have
that
bomb
with
him.
He
gotta
already
be
close
to
you,
because
it's
hard
to
open
up
the
people
in
the
streets,
it's
hard
to
communicate.
G
A
Thank
you,
mr
jones.
I
I
remember
being
in
christian
stronghold
when
we
first
heard
of
this
initiative.
Remember
green
was
right
by
my
side
when
we
heard
it
and
we
thought
it
was
ambitious
and
thought
that
you
know
okay,
you
you're
taking
on
a
colossal
problem.
But
what
I
see
is
that,
through
your
report,
you've
sliced
it
into
key
areas
that
are
a
bit
more
digestible
and
at
least
maybe
even
manageable.
So
I'm
encouraged
by
that.
A
I'm
going
to
yield
the
mic
to
allow
our
member
green
to
start
with
the
first
salvo
of
questions,
and
what
we're
going
to
do
is
something
different
than
we
normally
do,
which
we
usually
wait
for
an
entire
panel.
But
I
think
it's
that
important,
that
we
get
it
while
it's
hot.
If
you
would
and
talk
to
mr
jones
and
then
the
other
members
of
the
committee
is,
if
that's,
okay
with
the
other
participants
on
this
committee.
E
D
D
Absolutely
again,
my
name
is
brian
ellis.
I
am
the
president
for
mana
phl,
I'm
also
an
educator
here
in
the
city.
I
have
over
20
years
of
experience
in
higher
education
and
as
councilman
green
eluded.
I
am
the
primary
investigator
for
this
study,
exploring
the
lived
experiences
of
black
males
in
philadelphia
around
gun
violence
and
the
behaviors
activities
that
encourage
gun
culture.
D
You
know
we
really
want
to
come
up
with
some
really
tangible
solutions
or
recommendations,
but
to
do
that,
we
thought
it
was
important
to
have
data
drive
these
decisions
in
these
discussions,
so
that
was
the
the
impetus
behind
you
know
doing
this.
This
study,
you
know
really
collecting
the
data.
You
know
I'm
a
qualitative
researcher,
so
I
want
to
use
the
lyft
experiences
of
to
your
point.
Councilman
jones.
You
know
many
of
the
victims
and
perpetrators
of
said
violence
and
being
able
to
hear
from
them
in
their
words,
you
know.
D
D
That
was
really
somewhat
different
and
when
I
say
different,
you
know
I've
worked
with
many
non-profits
over
the
years,
but
here
you
know,
I
think,
the
the
business
model
that
we've
developed.
You
know
we
identify
some
very
clear,
verticals.
That's
going
to
make
this.
I
think,
to
your
point,
a
lot
more
digestible.
D
D
You
know
some
of
the
you
know,
I'm
looking
at
my
notes
here
and
just
looking
at
some
of
the
comments
that
were
shared
during
the
these
focus
group
sessions.
You
know
somebody
said
one
of
this
young
men
said
there
ain't
no
therapy
for
what's
going
on
in
the
streets
right.
You
know,
councilman
green
really
shared
with
us
those
those
eight
themes
that
emerged
from
the
study
and
what
we
did
was
we
utilized
those
themes
to
really
develop
the
five
recommendations
that
councilman
green
and
solomon
jones
referenced
earlier.
D
E
Well,
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
perspective
from
dr
ellis
following
your
lead.
We
can
ask
some
questions
now.
If
I
know
counseling
guardians
and
questions.
I
know
I
have
some
questions
and
then
we
have
some
other
witnesses
so
follow
your
lead.
Maybe
we'll
ask
you
questions
now
then
go
back
to
the
restaurant.
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
to
you,
mr
jones,
and
also
dr
ellis.
Thank
you
for
your
work
and
being
here
this
evening
and
this
initiative.
One
of
the
recommendations
talks
about
creating
300
jobs
for
young
men
that
are
in
in
this
listen
to
the
streets,
cohort
that
we
talked
about.
How
did
you
come
up
with
the
number
300
and
I
know
currently
mana
phl
does
provide
stipends.
I
think
it's
240
dollars
my
recollection
and
I'm
curious.
G
My
apology,
so
the
number
300
we
thought
was-
was
a
manageable
number
brian
and
I
worked
together
on
the
recommendations
and
really
trying
to
come
up
with
something
that
was
realistic
and
could
serve
as
a
starting
point.
So
the
300
is
a
starting
point
and
we
thought
that
that
could
be
divided
within
the
communities
that
are
most
most
heavily
impacted
by
gun
violence,
we're
asking
for
those
300
jobs
specifically
for
people
who
are
returning
citizens
and
we're
asking
for
a
living
wage
for
them.
G
G
G
We
do
conflict
resolution,
we
do
trauma,
we
do
job
readiness
and
we
also
do
financial
literacy
and
in
in
conjunction
with
that,
we
ask
these
questions
around
gun,
violence,
the
causes,
the
effects
and
the
solutions,
and
and
that's
when
we
do
a
whole
lot
of
of
listening
and
that's
where
this
report
came
from
and
so
the
employers
you
asked
about
what
employers
we
work
with.
One
of
our
board.
G
Members
is
jeff
brown,
who
is
the
owner
of
various
shoprites
and
fresh
grocers
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
beyond
another
one
of
our
partners
is
here
he
is
david
sims,
the
owner
of
eatable,
delights
catering,
and
we
also
work
with
sandy
jan
cleaning.
We
work
with
aramark
when,
when
it's
possible,
we
have
a
recruiter
who
comes
in
from
the
sheet
metal
workers
union
as
well
and
gives
our
guys
opportunities
to
do
that.
D
Yeah,
no,
I
think
you
know
solomon
really
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
You
know
it's
funny
too.
I
mean
I
get
so
excited
when
I
talk
to
other
members
of
the
board
and
in
fact
we
had
a
meeting
recently-
and
you
know,
I
think
one
thing
that
makes
this
man
up
hl
so
unique
and
interesting
is
the
way
we've
structured
it.
You
know
that
that
business
model
you
know
we
talked
about
possibly
expanding
the
the
list
of
employers.
D
You
know
we
talked
about
having
like
an
external
relations
component
to
everything
we
do
so.
Solomon
just
ran
down
the
list
of
current
employers,
but
the
ultimate
goal
is
to
expand
that
you
know
you
know
we.
We
talked
about
that.
That
thirty
thousand
dollars,
I
think,
is
what
we
had
in
the
report.
As
far
as
the
livable
wage,
you
know
many
would
argue
that
may
not
even
be
enough,
but
again
it's
a
starting
point
for
us,
as
solomon
alluded
to.
G
One
of
the
things
that
that
I
would
love
to
see
us
do
is
to
create
a
model
that
is
based
around
ready,
willing
and
able,
reading
willing
and
able
is
run
by
the
doe
fund
out
of
new
york,
and
they
have
crews
of
men
cleaning
all
around
the
city.
Our
city
has
a
problem
with
trash,
and
so
I
would
like
to
see
the
city
run
its
its
own
program,
where
we
could
bring
in
these.
G
These
men
start
them
at
a
living
wage,
with
benefits
with
that
city
job
that
has
that
kind
of
job
security,
and
they
have
some
room
to
to
advance
from
that
job.
I
would
love
to
see
something
like
that,
because
that
I
think,
would
allow
them
to
get
their
feet
wet
with
working
and
then
build
up
the
habits
that
they
need
in
order
to
advance
in
an
entity
like
the
city
of
philadelphia,
where
there
are
so
many
opportunities
that
that
one
is
bound
to
fit.
G
E
A
G
Okay,
so
we
have
not
selected
the
300
individuals
yet,
but
we
have
because
this
report
was
was
released
several
months
ago,
and
so
we
have
already
embarked
on
a
relationship
with
the
philadelphia
prisons
and
have
had
substantive
conversations
with
commissioner
blanche
carney
and
her
staff
about
a
coming
into
the
prison.
With
with
our
initiative
and
b
working
with
people
who
have
been
released
from
the
philadelphia
prisons
with
this
initiative.
And
so
we
expect
that
we
will
be
able
to
get
those
individuals
from
the
philadelphia
prison
system.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
First,
I
want
to
thank
solomon
and
brian
and
the
whole
man
up
phl
team
for
your
work,
but
also
for
the
disciplined
way
in
which
you've
studied
and
tracked.
Your
work
is
so
incredibly
valuable
to
us
I'll
say
if
you
would
like
a
connection
with
west
philadelphia
skills
initiative,
I'm
happy
to
make
that
connection.
They
have
a
great
workforce
development
program,
that's
plugged
into
all
of
the
major
institutions
in
west
and
southwest
philadelphia,
but
even
more
broadly,
two
other
two
other
job
opportunities.
C
Excellent.
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
something
like
the
job
program
that
you're
talking
about
already
exists
at
least
an
idea
form
in
the
commerce
department,
so
the
commerce
department
has
envisioned
for
a
while
a
job
program.
I
believe
it's
called
good
quality
jobs
where
they
will
give
forgivable
loans
to
small
business
owners
who
hire
returning
citizens
and
so
for
the
learn,
the
loan
to
be
forgivable
and
turn
into
a
grant.
They
have
to
hire
returning
citizens.
C
This
was
a
program
that
commerce
wanted
to
start
before
the
pandemic,
but
you
know
kind
of
the
world
went
haywire,
but
they've
been
trying
to
they.
They
plan
to
implement
this
pretty
soon.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
in
the
budget
deal
that
council
struck
last
year,
we
allocated
5.6
million
dollars.
We
struck
a
deal
with
the
administration
where
we
added
70
million
new
dollars
for
gun,
violence,
prevention
and
intervention.
C
A
part
of
that
70
was
5.6
million
dollars
allocated
to
commerce,
specifically
for
job
programs,
for
those
most
likely
to
shoot
and
be
shot.
I'm
learning
a
little
bit
about
budget
right
council
allocates
the
money,
and
then
we
don't
have
control
necessarily
over
how
it's
spent.
So
I've
asked
many
many
times
the
administration.
C
What
are
we
doing
with
that
money?
Where
is
that
5.6
million
dollars
going
to,
and
can
you
show
us
the
job
programs
that
will
you
know
benefit?
You
know
those
most
likely
to
be
involved
in
a
cycle
of
violence?
I
never
got
a
complete
answer.
I
do
know
that
they're
hiring
a
position,
a
workforce
development
position
to
specifically
focus
on
violence
prevention.
I
do
know
that
they're
using
a
portion
of
that
5.6
million
dollars
to
fund
this
good
quality
jobs
program
that
they've
been
intending
to
get
off
of
the
ground
for
some
time.
C
I
wanted
to
hear
more
about
both
the
education
part
of
your
platform
and
sort
of
the
part
where
you
have
folks
in
prison
that
are
intervening
to
help
stop
violence
on
the
streets.
I
just
want
to
hear
you
explain
more
about
what
the
education
curriculum
would
be
for
students
that
have
kind
of
witnessed
or
experienced
violence,
and
then
I
wanted
to
hear
you
talk
about
more
this
sort
of
in
the
prisons
piece
and
how
you
came
up
with
that
and
what
it
would
look
like.
And
those
are
my
questions.
D
Yeah
solomon,
I
can
jump
on
the
education.
That's
really
my
my
wheelhouse
again.
I've
had
over
20
years
of
experience
in
higher
education,
and
I
don't
think
it's.
It
would
surprise
anyone.
We
know
there's
some
challenges
with
the
philadelphia
public
school
system.
You
know,
and
even
from
some
of
the
respondents
of
the
study,
they
illustrated
some
of
those
challenges
within
the
school
system.
You
know
so
the
thought
here
was
to
kind
of
create
this
parallel
educational
experience
for
these
students.
Currently
in
the
philadelphia
school
system.
D
You
know,
I
would
argue
that
these
students
are
coming
out
very,
not
prepared
for
life,
no
matter
where
that
takes
them.
You
know
we
talk
about
those
who
want
to
go
into
higher
education.
Maybe
some
would
want
to
go
into
the
military
vocations,
career
readiness.
You
know
it's
just
it's
just
not
happening
the
way
that
we're
currently
structured
within
public
schools
here
in
philadelphia.
D
I
haven't
said
that
you
know
being
at
a
university
for
so
long.
I've
been
able
to
identify
some
skills
and
competencies
that
we
believe
will
help
our
young
people
be
successful,
no
matter
what
path
they
decide
to
take
thought
of
some
of
the
thought
behind
you
know
what
does
that
programming
look
like
include
things
of
power
skills.
You
know
how
cool
would
it
be
to
develop
a
power
skill
module
for
these
students?
D
We
used
to
call
these
soft
skills,
but
now
their
power
skills,
because
they're
that
important
think
about
teaching
our
kids,
how
to
communicate
how
to
present
how
to
think
critically.
So
that
would
be
like
one
module
that
we
would
ask
these
participants
to
be
able
to
participate
in
and
complete
and
the
nice
thing
about
that
is
once
they
finish
that
particular
module.
They
would
receive
some
type
of
micro
credential.
D
You
know
I'll
use
drexel,
because
that's
where
I
am
where
you
know,
students
are
certified
in
power
skills
to
have
a
certificate
or
electronic
badge
to
be
able
to
go
to
any
employer
or
anything
they
decide
to
do
upon
completion.
To
say,
hey,
look
what
I
have
you
know.
This
makes
me
more
attractive
as
a
candidate
for
a
job
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
So.
The
four
areas
that
I've
been
working
on
explicitly
would
be
power.
D
Skills
would
be
one
area,
another
module
would
be
introduction
technology
again,
not
teaching
young
people
how
to
be
computer
programmers
but
making
sure
they're
literate
as
far
as
as
it
relates
to
computer
and
computer
literacy.
That's
another
area,
one
that
is
extremely
important,
is
career
readiness.
D
You
know
so
many
young
people,
you
know,
don't
know
how
to
develop
or
create
a
a
a
resume
that
would
be
attractive
to
prospective
employers.
You
know
how
about
being
able
to
network
via
linkedin.
These
are
things
in
these
modules
that
we
could
help.
You
know
teach
these
students
how
to
do
again
to
prepare
them
for
life,
post,
high
school,
graduation
and
then,
lastly,
another
module
that
we're
working
on
is
personal
wellness
and
health
and
mental
health.
I
mean
we
know,
that's
extremely
important.
D
It
came
out
as
one
of
the
themes
in
the
study
and
just
to
make
sure
folks
are
prepared.
Young
people
are
prepared
to
enter,
you
know
the
rigors
of
being
a
adulthood
and
and
and
being
able
to
fully
comprehend
some
of
the
expectations
that
come
along
with
that.
So
that
was
really
the
ideal
behind
the
parallel
educational
expense
being
able
to
work
with
these
high
schools
to
kind
of
create
these
explicit
modules
for
students,
and
there
could
be
more.
G
One
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
do
and
in
crafting
these
ideas
was
to
really
be
very
explicit
in
terms
of
the
ask,
and
so
what
we
ask
is
that
500
students
who
hail
from
the
zip
codes
most
affected
by
gun
violence
be
part
of
a
partnership
between
the
philadelphia
school
district
and
each
philadelphia
area
university.
So
this
would
not
be
all
on
drexel.
We
would
be
calling
on
temple.
G
We
would
be
calling
on
lasalle
we'd,
be
calling
on
drexel
we'd,
be
calling
on
saint
joe's
and
any
other
university
within
or
outside
of
the
city
of
philadelphia.
That
wanted
to
be
part
of
this,
and
what
we
would
do
is
this:
have
the
child
spend
half
the
time
in
their
neighborhood
school
and
then
half
the
day
at
the
university
they
receive
high
school
and
college
credit
for
their
coursework
points
toward
their
admission
to
the
university
upon
completing
high
school.
G
The
operational
funding
would
total
about
a
thousand
dollars
per
child
that
could
be
provided
by
foundations
or
corporate
sponsors
or
by
the
city,
because
again,
universities
have
classroom
space
and
classes
that
they're
already
holding
where
they
don't
have
to
charge.
This
child,
for
taking
this
class
you're
already
holding
the
class
you
already
got
the
space
you're
already
heating
it.
You
already
have
the
energy
that,
like
all
everything
is
paid
for,
all
you
got
to
do
is
bring
the
child.
In
so
again,
a
thousand
dollars
per
child
would
be
a
500
000.
D
A
We
did
summer
intense
entrepreneurial
training,
two
things
that
I'll
quickly
say
one
I
was
in
east
falls
walking
at
a
community
festival
and
a
lady
started
following
me
down
the
street
and
I
got
uncomfortable
and
I
began
to
turn
around
and
say:
hey
how
you
doing
and
getting
her
come
to
find
out.
She
was
a
participant,
so
I
asked
her:
how
did
you
like
it?
She
loved
it
and
I
said:
did
you
stay
in
business?
She
said.
Yes,
I
said:
were
you
successful?
A
She
said
yes
and
I
stopped
and
paused
did
you
make
a
million
dollars?
Are
you
a
millionaire?
She
said
yes,
so
when
you
expose
a
young
person
to
an
environment,
they
may
not
all
be
millionaires,
but
they
may
be
thousand
years
that
wind
up
in
a
workplace
and
retire
from
a
job
and
never
ever
have
to
experience
that
prison
system
again
just
by
those
power
skills
that
you're
talking
about.
I
have
not
seen
a
physical
actual
paper
application
to
a
job
in
years.
A
So
if
you
don't
have
those
power
skills
to
be
able
to
log
on
and
apply,
you
may
never
get
a
chance
to
get
a
job
or
be
through
an
algorithm
bumped
out
because
of
some
box.
You
didn't
check
yeah,
so
so
these
these
things
are
very
important
so
that
they
can
at
least
get
a
fighting
chance
to
be
in
the
workplace.
G
Yeah
yeah
absolutely
one.
The
other
question
that
councilwoman
gotti
asked
was
about
the
the
prison
aspect
of
this,
and
each
one
of
these
is
is
again
based
on
what
these
young
men
told
us,
and
so
this
is
the
first
of
the
five
recommendations
that
we
make
and
I
just
want
to
read
what
the
young
man
said
to
us
he's
a
26
year
old
participant
from
north
philadelphia,
and
he
said
this.
G
If
it
was
my
program,
I
would
talk
to
convicted
felons
who
got
gun
cases,
violent
cases,
shootings
murders.
I
want
to
talk
to
them
first,
so
that
way
I
could
see
if
I
could
get
them
on
page
to
help
me
talk
to
the
other
ones,
they're,
the
ones
that
got
life
and
stuff
like
that
and
football
numbers,
and
all
of
that
who
else
they
going
to
listen
to
than
the
person
that's
next
in
line.
G
I'm
saying
we
should
do
more,
so,
in
other
words,
what
he
wrote,
what
he
realized
and
and
what
he
articulated
is
that
there
are
leaders
within
the
prison
system
who
are
leading
other
guys
either
astray
or
or
leading
them
to
not
come
back
right
and
that
we
should
tap
into
that
leadership
of
persons
who
other
people
respect
and
will
listen
to
around
that.
If
we
can
get
them,
then
we
can
get
them
to
be
our
ambassadors
to
get
others
right,
and
so
that
was
the
first
thing
that
we
approached
the
prison
with.
G
Could
we
come
in
and
talk
to
some
of
the
people?
We
need
you
to
identify
for
us
ten
leaders
within
your
prison
who
we
could
come
in
and
engage
with
and
then
see
if
they
can
act
as
our
ambassadors
to
engage
with
others,
and
this
is
an
idea
we
probably
would
have
never
come
up
with
ourselves,
but
this
is
based
on
what
these
young
men
told
us.
G
They
talked
about
the
prisons
over
and
over
and
over
again
talked
about
the
generational
nature
of
it
talk
about
a
kid
who
went
to
prison
and
that's
the
only
time
he
got
to
talk
to
his
father,
because
they
both
were
there
at
the
same
time.
You
know
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
so
that
was
the
the
initial
thing
was
to
go
in
work
inside
the
prison
work
with
leaders
there.
E
E
E
They
want
to
have
this
type
of
connection
with
their
children
with
their
relatives
and
want
to
provide
some
type
of
positive
influence
and
connection
while
they
are
away-
and
I
think
this
is
something
that
we've
had
in
the
past.
I
know
our
former
state
representative
ron
waters
used
to
have
a
lifers
event
on
a
regular
basis.
E
E
Another
question
I
had
in
regarding
mental
health,
which
is
a
major
issue,
especially
in
our
community,
especially
the
african-american
community,
in
particular,
that
we
don't
often
talk
about,
because
I
very
very
involved
in
on
this
community
by
having
a
child
on
the
autism
spectrum.
I
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
you
know:
department,
behavioral,
health,
intellectual
disability
services
and
cbh.
There
is
an
organization
on
the
coalition
of
culturally
competent
providers,
which
are
group
of
mental
health,
behavioral
health
providers
that
are
led
by
african-american
leaders.
E
I
think
they
would
be
a
good
group
or
resource
to
maybe
connect
with
you
and
get
some
ideas
on
mental
health,
especially
in
the
cohort
of
young
men
you're
talking
about,
because
my
calls
with
them
they've
had
some
real
concerns
about
what
the
pandemic
has
done
to
many
people
that
have
had
services
or
need
services
and
inability
to
connect
because
of
the
pandemic
and
have
had
to
rely
on
telehealth
to
the
extent
that
they
do
have
their
services
and
then
at
one
other
point.
I
want
to
ask
this
question.
E
E
In
fact,
council
president
clark
talked
about
there
were
some
young
men
that
had
their
house
shot
up,
and
it
was
some
community
leaders.
Some
of
the
names
that
we
know
reached
out
to
the
council
president
said.
Listen.
We've
got
some
guys
who
are
here
right
now
that
want
to
get
out
this
game
get
out
this
life.
E
Who
do
we
connect
them
with,
and
you
know
trying
to
figure
out
who
we
make
that
connection
to,
and
I
think
when
the
council
president
talked
about
2-1-1
being
able
to
be
able
to
do
that
right
now,
right
right,
then
present
time
not
trying
to
find
someone
make
a
referral
but
immediately
be
able
to
call
someone
that
we
can
get
on
the
phone
that
could
steer
them
into
that
path.
So
when
you
talk
about
resource
connectors,
I
want
to
get
a
sense.
Is
that
the
type
of
thing
you're
talking
about
or
are
there
other
ideas.
G
He
said
you
can't
just
go
build
a
bomb
with
somebody
who
got
a
gun
on
the
street.
You
got
to
already
have
that
bomb
with
them.
He
got
to
already
be
close
with
you,
because
it's
hard
to
open
up
with
people
on
the
street.
It's
hard
to
communicate.
People
in
the
street
got
harder
communication
skills.
You
just
gotta,
know
somebody
in
that
community
already
trying
to
make
a
change.
G
The
thing
that
we
found
was
that
there
is
a
lack
of
trust
of
systems
that
are
set
up
to
actually
assist
people
right.
We
asked
them
about
the
idea
of
a
line
that
people
could
call
to
squash
beeps
right.
You
call
this
line.
Somebody's
gonna
come
out.
They're
gonna
help
you
squash
your
beat.
They
said
man,
we
ain't,
calling
that
that's
snitching,
we
don't
know
who's
on
the
other
end
of
that
line,
that's
what
they
said,
and
so
you
know
I
mean
we
come
up
with
these
ideas
and
they
sound
great.
G
Who
could
then
recommend
people
who
need
these
resources
to
use
them
right
make
the
connection
for
them?
You
have
to
have
somebody
as
a
go-between
who's
trusted
in
the
community
and
who's
connected
to
the
needed
resource
in
order
for
people
to
actually
utilize
it
they're
not
going
to
call
the
line
when
they
don't
know
who's.
G
On
the
other
end,
they're
not
going
to
go
to
folks
who
they
don't
know,
because
it's
a
matter
of
life
and
death
for
them,
and
so
the
the
the
idea
of
having
someone
who
could
connect
them
to
that
resource.
That's
where
that
comes
from
brian.
You
might
want
to
speak
more
to
it.
Based
on
some
of
those
eight
themes
that
we
had
yeah.
D
You
know
it
really
speaks.
You
know
not
only
your
resource,
connector
recommendation,
but
even
the
one
where
we
you
know.
I
know
councilman
green
started
with
the
mental
health
and
we
talked
about
the
mental
health
substations
and
again.
This
all
goes
back
to
that
theme.
That
emerged
was
real
time
engagement.
You
know
needing
to
meet
these
young
men
where
they
are.
You
know
solomon
just
alluded
to
it.
You
know,
you
know,
that's
snitching.
D
We
ain't
doing
that,
but
you
know
if
we
can
kind
of
you
know,
get
within
the
community
and
people
that
they
trust
within
their
community.
You
know
bring
these
substations
in
the
community
and
work
with
people
already
embedded
that
have
a
sense
of
standard
in
the
community.
I
think
it's
it's
a
game
changer
and
again.
That
was
the
idea
behind
those
those
recommendations.
So
solomon,
you,
you
again,
you
nailed
it.
C
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we
have
a
functioning
program
right,
that
we
can
build
upon
so
currently
in
the
city
we
have
ccip
or
the
community
crisis
intervention
program
where
we
have
violence,
interrupters
or
outreach
workers
that
are
folks.
You
know
with
lived
experience
from
the
communities
that
they're
serving
that
are
supposed
to
be
in
these
neighborhoods
on
a
daily
basis.
C
They
are
supposed
to
be
connecting
with
young
people
connecting
them
to
resources,
and
also
they
aim
to
be
that
trusted
partner
that
can
get
between
beefs
before
they
turn
into
violence.
I
would
say
I
think
we
need
to
dramatically
expand
that
program.
We
have
54
people
currently
doing
that
work.
You
know
we
have
562
homicides
in
2022
54
people
are
that's
not
enough
people
right,
so
we
need
to
dramatically
expand
the
number
of
people
that
we're
supporting
and
paying
to
do
that
work.
C
I
also
think
that
it
should
be
more
decentralized,
so
right
now
most
of
that
work
happens
through
pan
or
the
philadelphia
anti-drug
anti-violence
network.
I
think,
and
they
operate
out
of
a
location
I
think
on
broad
street,
but
I
it
would
be
great
to
have
sort
of
these
substations
in
the
various
communities
that
are
experiencing
violence
and
the
other
kind
of
way
that
I
think
we
should
be
looking
to
build
upon
that
program
is
by
making
sure
that
there
are
real
resources.
On
the
other
end.
G
Thank
you
enough.
I
do
want
to
add
one
one
thing
very
quickly
that
we
asked
the
sports
teams
to
put
up
one
million
dollars
collectively
to
pay
for
30
resource
connectors,
who
will
assist
young
people
seeking
to
leave
gun
violence
behind,
and
they
should
come
from
the
communities
that
they
are
going
to
serve.
G
D
And
you
know
if
I
could
just
jump
in
quickly
too,
I'm
sorry,
but
you
know
I
talked
early
on
about
the
business
model
that
you
know.
Mana
phl
has
incorporated-
and
I
think
that's
so
critical
because
again
these
programs,
where
there
needs
to
be
evaluation,
accountability
and
assessment,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
the
recommendations
that
we
make.
That's
that's.
That's
the
plan.
That's
the
goal
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
hold
the
appropriate
focus
accountable
and
we
can
assess
our
success
and
our
failure.
A
That
was
way
back
in
the
day,
but
I
don't
know
what
the
current
use
of
those
dollars
are.
So
we
might
want
to
make
that
connection
to
come
back
and
revisit
that
and
see.
If
there
is
an
existing
fund,
how's
it
being
utilized
who
who
has
taken
advantage
of
it
and
if
it's
under
utilized,
then
we
can
make
a
connection
very
quickly
to
find
good
use
for
those
dollars.
So
I
mean
what
this
conversation
is
doing
is
showing
where
the
connected
dots
need
to
happen.
E
Mr
chair,
real
quick,
I
know
that
there
is
an
ongoing
relationship
with
some
of
the
sports
teams.
For
example,
just
this
weekend,
parks
and
recreation
hosted
a
philadelphia,
youth
football
summit
with
youth
football
coaches
at
lincoln
financial
field
with
the
eagles
so
they're
and
I'm
sure
the
other
initiatives
that
other
parts
of
city
governments
have
in
sports
teams.
Just
a
matter
of
finding
out
what's
happening
with
those
resources
that
you
just
talked
about.
A
Yeah,
I
think
sports
teams
are
comfortable
with
the
portion
of
the
youth
population.
That's
already
on
a
trajectory
to
make
it
out
of
here.
We
have
to
reach
back
a
bit
and
find
resources
for
the
at-risk
kids,
and
so
it
can't
just
be
pop
warner.
It
has
to
be
a
little
more
risque
if
you
would
so
all
right.
Mr
glass,
who's
next.
H
The
children
feel
like
they
were
basically
thrown
away
when
I
say
children
but
they're
young
men,
and
this
is
from
one
of
my
mentees
and
I'm
quoting.
I
never
really
knew
my
mother.
She
basically
abandoned
me
and
left
me
with
my
grandmother
at
a
young
age,
and
I
never
had
an
experience
with
my
father
because
he
was
in
and
out
of
jail,
most
of
my
life.
H
So
that's
just
a
few
of
the
reoccurring
themes
that
I
experienced
when
I
speak
to
the
mentees,
and
these
these
are
guys
who
want
to
do
well,
but
they
develop
some
bad
habits
basically
similar
to
you
know
a
musician,
that's
self-taughty!
He
basically
does
what
it
takes
to
do
what
he
does.
It
sounds
good
to
him,
but
it
creates
a
problem
on
and
off
in
his
life
and
the
other
is
housing.
H
So
this
is
something
that's
constantly
reoccurring
in
the
interviews
that
I
do
with
some
of
these
guys
and
it's
unfortunate,
but
I'm
gonna
keep
it
real
brief,
so
that
someone
else
could
speak
just
an
observation,
not
a
professional
one,
of
course,
but
this
problem
is
an
onion
and
it
requires
layers
of
solutions.
Mana
phl
is
one
city.
Council
is
one
education
and
all
the
things
that
solomon
jones
mentioned
and
I'm
happy
to
be
involved.
But
it's
unfortunate
that
it's
necessary.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
I
I
have,
I
wear
several
different
hats
within
our
organization.
I
am
a
mentor
as
a
mentor.
Part
of
my
responsibilities
is
guiding
these
young
men
through
some
of
the
issues
that
they're
going
through
criminal
justice
system,
family
issues,
getting
ready
for
employment
showing
how
to
get
employment
and
keep
employment,
teaching
them
ways
on
how
they
can
resolve
disputes
and
also
we
connect
them
with
resources.
I
I
What
stood
out
to
me
most
from
being
one
of
the
facilitators
is
that
most
of
the
young
men
they
don't
have
any
hope
they
don't
and
that's
that's
a
problem,
so
many
things
are
going
on
in
their
life,
pretty
much
they
just
given
up
they're
just
going
with
whatever
is
happening
to
them.
For
instance,
we
often
ask
them
questions
like
what
the
success
looked
like
for
you.
I
What
would
you
like
your
life
to
be
like
and
they
can't
answer
they're
stunned
they're,
like
what
do
you
mean?
How
do
you
know
you'll
be
successful,
some
basic
questions
and
they
just
can't
answer
it.
They,
they
lack,
hope.
So
what
we
do
at
man
up,
we
we
expose
them
to
different
things.
We
expose
them
to
different
occupations.
I
We
let
them
know
that
where
they
at
right
now
is
not
going
to
that's,
where
they're
not
going
to
be
at
forever,
all
they
have
to
do
is
have
some
hope
put
in
a
little
bit
of
time.
Work
with
different
individuals,
work
with
the
organizations.
That's
out
there
accept
the
resources
that
we're
providing
open
up.
I
I
A
I
I
They
were
oblivious
to
real
life
once
they
transitioned
from
elementary
school
to
going
to
high
school
everything
changed
they
sent,
they
sent
them
to
schools
outside
of
neighborhood
where
there's
been
beefs
and
arguments
and
problems
going
on
for
decades
and
they
weren't
prepared
for
it.
They
used
to
come
to
school
to
want
to
learn.
Now
they
go
to
school.
You
know
just
to
fight
and
you
know
to
not
be
harmed,
so
there's
no
way
for
them
to
learn
when
they
get
to
school
because
they
fight
on
their
way
to
school.
A
I
I
You
know
transportation,
we
provide
them
with
transportation,
try
to
give
them
key
cards
to
get
to
them.
We
got
to
do
it,
they
might
can't
even
make
it
to
the
first
session.
So
we'll
have
someone
go
out
there
meet
them
wherever
they
are
just
to
get
them
there,
so
absolutely
they're
living
below
the
poverty
level.
They
have
no
income
coming
in
so
by.
A
I
I
A
I
That
so,
but
but
once
they're
able
to
make
it
past
17
18
19,
then
they
realized
they
were
being
used
and
they
turned
on
the
old
heads
for
using
them.
So
that's
one
cause
of
a
beast
that
we
have
going
on
so
when
we
we
expose
them
to
different
different
type
of
men.
When
it
comes
to
man
up,
we
have
a
whole
variety
of
different
individuals
from
laborers
judges,
doctors,
everyday
working,
gentlemen,
everybody,
you
know
social
workers,
so
we
expose
them
to
that,
but
we
also
let
them
know.
I
You
know
our
past
that
we've
had
some
rough
ways.
You
know
we
didn't
come
come
through
some
things
as
well,
so
we
let
them
know
that
we
let
them
know
that
where
you
are
right
now
is
not
where
you
have
to
be
in
the
future,
so
we
imparted
for
them
to
try
to
come
up
with
some
realistic
goals
and
we
help
support
them,
so
they
can
accomplish
their
goals.
E
I
Yes,
they
don't
really
think
about
it.
All
they
know
is
that
they've
been
wronged,
so
they've
been
wrong.
They've
been
taught
the
bad
ways
of
the
streets,
they
had
them
doing
things
for
them.
So
now
you
are
what
they
call
you're
my
ops
now
so
now
that's
the
problem,
so
not
only
whatever
issues
they're
already
into
now.
They
have
new
issues
because
they
found
out
someone
that
they
were
looking.
Nuts
was
looking
up
to
was
really
just
using.
E
I
No
okay!
No,
not
unless
not,
unless
there's
some
type
of
interruption
in
what
they're
doing
so
again,
man
up
and
other
organizations
or
just
individuals
they
can
step
in
and
catch
them
right
then
and
they're
there.
Then
they
can
pivot,
but
other
than
that.
No
they
follow
the
ways
of
the
streets.
That's
been
laid
out
there
before.
A
A
We
have
to
find
we,
I
I
feel
stunned
by
that
kind
of
almost
factory-like
creation
of
at-risk
people,
that
there
is
a
hierarchy
that
turns
on
on
it
on
itself
and
and
cannibalizes
itself,
and
it's
young
people
it
is
and
and
what's
worse,
is
I
see
it,
but
I
didn't
understand
the
depth
to
which
it
is
synchronized.
I
guess
that's
the
word,
so
thank
you
for
your
testimony.
E
And
councilmember
jones,
if
I
could
just
make
a
listing
it's
an
ins,
it's
it's
modeling,
other
institutions
when
you
think
about
the
sense
that
when
someone
comes
into
military
as
a
private
or
they
come
into
different
organizations
that
certain
things
are
done
to
you
in
order
to
get
in
order
for
you
to
get
to
the
next
level.
And
then,
when
you
get
to
that
next
level,
you
do
some
of
those
same
things
to
the
group
that
comes
in
below
you.
A
A
It
was
designed
to
to
what
they
called
make
you
thorough.
I
mean,
and
all
of
these
are
are
not
positive
models,
but
there
was
a
lot
that
I
took
out
of
that
experience
that
I
carry
with
me
today,
like
that,
wasn't
all
bad,
but
what
they're
telling
me
is.
It's
devolve
disintegrated
into
something
something
very
different.
A
F
F
Yes,
thank
you
councilman.
We
have
been
benefactors
of
your
kindness.
I
have
felt
the
pain
and
anxiety
and
trauma
from
the
ongoing
violence.
Personally
and
professionally
when
I
was
growing
up
in
nicetown
gun.
Violence
was
a
rare
occasion,
but
it
has
woven
itself
to
the
fabric
of
life
into
our
city,
and
this
is
not
okay.
F
But
we
also
knew
that
we
needed
to
provide
these
young
men
with
more
than
a
t-shirt,
a
meal
and
an
encouraging
word.
We
knew
they
needed
the
inner
healing
as
well.
They
needed
job
connections,
they
needed
the
soft
skills
they
needed
to
learn
how
to
negotiate
and
manage
themselves,
and
but
they,
most
importantly,
they
needed
someone
to
show
up
and
let
them
know
that
things
were
going
to
be
all
right,
not
just
tell
them,
but
show
them
how
things
would
be
okay.
So
for
me,
man
up
became
an
action
verb.
F
It
wasn't
just
another
organization
that
I
belong
to.
It
wasn't
a
proper
now
right.
So
over
the
past
two
years
we
have
worked
effortlessly
and
tirelessly
to
make
sure
that
every
cohort
was
funded
to
make
sure
that
we
had
people
who
were
on
the
who
were
on
standby.
Who
could
provide
these
young
men
with
the
resources
and
connections
they
needed,
but
we
continued
to
have
the
gun,
violence
and
so
eventually,
I
hope
that
the
the
city
and
the
the
school
district
will
will
hear
the
cries
of
the
young
men.
F
J
J
What
I
found
from
working
with
re-entry
citizens
is
that
a
lot
of
times
they
just
need
an
opportunity.
They
need
a
chance.
They
need
somebody
to
talk
to
them.
They
need
somebody
that
will
be
able
to
understand
that
they
have
some
challenges,
such
as
not
having
a
phone
or
not
having
a
meal
or
not
having
some
of
the
basic
essential
things.
As
the
gentleman
talked
about
earlier,
such
as
housing,
I
understand
that
they
may
not
be
able
to
get
through
to
the
next
week.
J
I
understand
that
they
may
need
car
fare
or
they
may
need
a
transpass
or
they
may
need
some
other
things
that
just
will
will
require
them
to
remain
employed.
I
always
tell
the
gentleman,
and
not
just
the
returning
citizens,
and
not
just
the
people
from
solomon
jones
program,
because
I
do
work
with
two
other
programs
as
well.
Just
give
me
a
year
just
give
me
a
year
to
be
able
to
sow
into
you
to
be
able
to
put
something
into
you
and
to
be
able
to
help
you
turn
your
life
around.
J
I
had
a
gentleman
in
2012
come
work
for
me
that
had
some
serious
challenges.
I
believe
at
that
particular
time
he
was
a
sexual
offender
or
something
like
that,
and
I
just
asked
him
three
questions:
can
you
get
to
work
on
time?
Can
you
be
molded,
and
I
forgot
what
the
third
question
was
at
that
time.
A
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
see
some
of
your
proteges
do
their
thing
by
way
of
being
servers
at
events
and
banquets
and
things
like
that,
and
they,
you
would
think,
were
born
to
it
and
were
polite
knowledgeable
about
the
food
and
always
always
open
to
to
be
helpful.
And
I
I
appreciate
that
cultivation
that
you
do
so.
Thank.
A
To
the
people
up
at
randolph
are
so
remember,
green
was
nice
enough
to
at
7am
on
monday,
join
us
in
a
roll
call
session.
What
that
is
is
of
all
of
my
high
school
middle
schools.
We
get
together
at
7
a.m,
to
talk
about
the
state
of
affairs
in
the
respective
schools
and
what
can
be
done
to
prevent
violence
in
the
upcoming
week.
A
E
E
Commitment
during
the
day,
but
then
also
partnering
and
participating
in
man
up
phl
will
applaud
you
for
your
work
and
and
staying
committed
and
involved
and
continuing
to
educate
and
mentor
young
people,
even
after
the
school
bell
rings,
and
to
david
sims,
known
david.
For
for
a
long
time,
I've
always
been
very
supportive.
E
I've
seen
how
his
business
has
grown
from
the
early
days
to
where
he
is
now
being
in
multiple
cities
around
the
country,
but
always
devoted
and
committed
to
giving
back
to
those
who
need
a
a
leg
up
for
the
next
opportunity.
So
I
want
to
thank
him
for
also
not
only
being
on
this
caring
call,
but
also
being
an
employer
with
made
up
pho.
E
B
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
the
participants
from
mana
phl
for
sharing
their
experiences,
their
conversations
and
really
giving
us
some
insight
on
the
lived
experiences
of
the
young
men
that
they
work
with.
I
know
from
this
call.
There
are
some
additional
takeaways
that
I
think
will
be
helpful
to
maine
at
phl.
E
I
know
councilman
gautier
talked
about
connecting
the
west
philadelphia
skills
initiative
with
men
at
phl,
also
the
conversations
regarding
the
commerce
department
and
their
dollars
for
jobs
and
a
good
quality
jobs
initiative,
as
well
as
making
some
other
connections
like
the
coalition
of
culturally
competent
providers
to
help
address
on
the
mental
health
issues
and
then
also
as
we
look
at
some
of
the
job
opportunities,
and
you
know,
look
at
some
of
the
other
organizations
that
provide
that.
We
need
to
also
think
in
a
holistic
way.
E
But
that's
an
opportunity
that
you
know
we
hear
about
for
those
who
are
coming
out
of
penn
or
st
jones,
lasalle,
drexel
or
other,
or
some
of
the
other
phenomenal
college
university.
We
have
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
but
what
about
someone
that
is
living
near
broad
and
glenwood,
or
consisting
washington,
lane
or
washington
avenue?
E
What
are
we
doing
to
provide
that
type
of
job
pipeline
for
young
people
who,
as
tom
jones
talked
about
who
were
going
one
way
and
as
I
think
mr
crowder
said,
we
need
an
interruption
to
change
that
direction.
So
I
think
using
that
example
of
how
we
are
connecting
with
providers
opportunities
either
through
connecting
with
community
college
philadelphia,
helping
some
of
the
people
we're
talking
about
get
some
of
those
skills
plus
training.
E
So
they
can
get
jobs
high,
paying
career
opportunity,
jobs
that
will
also
expose
them
to
maybe
even
future
careers
where
they
could
go
to
a
ccp
or
further
education
at
collegiate
level
to
give
them
additional
opportunities.
But
we
need
to
have
those
conversations
now
and
find
ways
that
we
can
have
everyone
to
participate
in
these
new
industries
and
opportunities
in
our
city.
A
A
Seeing
none
frederick
douglass
said
it
is
better
to
build
strong
youth
than
to
fix,
broken
men,
and
we
need
to
take
that
lesson
with
us
to
the
budget
process.
Remember
green
and
the
lessons
from
the
phl
man
up
a
report
and
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
to
build
these
programs
up
to
scale,
so
they
can
impact
more
people
and
with
that
this
concludes
the
public
hearing
of
on
resolution
number
two:
zero:
zero,
zero.
Five
two
on.
Thank
you
all
for
participation.
