And a resolution designating April 9, 2023 "Paul Robeson Day" to honor occasion of the 125th anniversary of the birth of actor, singer, lawyer, scholar and activist Paul L. Robeson, Esquire, introduced today by Councilwoman Gauthier.
Thank STATED MEETING 100 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING you, Council President. Before I move for the adoption of the resolution, I'd like to take a few moments to speak on the record about the significance of Paul Robeson Day. A few weeks ago we renamed the 4900 block of Walnut Street after Paul Robeson, which we will officially unveil tomorrow morning. And today we are about to declare April 9th, which was Paul Robeson's 125th birthday, Paul Robeson Day here in Philadelphia. Paul Robeson was truly a renaissance man. He reached the highest level of success as an actor, singer, athlete, lawyer, author, scholar, and linguist during the time when Black people were rarely allowed to take up space in even one of those roles. But 125 years after Paul Robeson's birth, one would still struggle to find someone else who could do so many things so well at the same time. But what inspires me most about STATED MEETING 101 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING Paul Robeson is his activism. Even though he had achieved a level of fame and success that would have allowed him to escape many of the troubles plaguing society during his lifetime, Paul Robeson became one of the most devoted fighters for justice at home and abroad, and he did this during a time when racists regularly lynched people who looked like him for speaking out against injustices. Nothing could stop Paul Robeson from using his platform for good. When the congressional un-American Activities Committee branded him a communist sympathizer, slandered his reputation, stripped him of his passport, and banned his work from public consumption, Paul Robeson never stopped using his famous baritone voice as a tool for equity. Many in the past and present tried to erase the contributions of Black and brown activists, scared of anything that reminds them that America has many times failed to live up to its status as STATED MEETING 102 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING a land of the free. Through today's resolution, we push back on this and correct the record by officially recognizing the achievements and legacy of this American hero. I acknowledge this resolution is long overdue, but I am humbled to have the honor of introducing it. I draw on Paul Robeson's unbreakable commitment to justice as a source of strength and personal inspiration, as I know many residents across our city do as well. I am grateful to all the supporters of Paul Robeson, most especially Vernoca Michael, Janice Sykes Ross, Margaret Livingston, Dawn Chavous, Mike Africa, Jr., and the entire team at the Paul Robeson House and Museum, who steward his legacy and who are here with us today. Thank you so much for everything you do to keep this legacy alive in our city. (Applause.) STATED MEETING 103 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING
And as you heard, the Paul Robeson House has a full weekend of events commemorating his 125th birthday, and I hope that I will see some of you there. And with that, I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)
It's been moved and properly seconded. All in favor indicate by saying aye. (Aye.)
The ayes have it, and that resolution is adopted.
And a resolution honoring and congratulating Paul Robeson High School for Human Services student Alyssa Perren on her historic admission to Harvard University and wishing her STATED MEETING 104 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING luck on future endeavors, introduced today by Councilwoman Gauthier.
The Chair again recognizes Councilwoman Gauthier.
Thank you. I'd like to speak on this resolution too and the extraordinary young woman who we are honoring here today. I am so proud of Alyssa Perren. By enrolling in Harvard University, she has shattered the glass ceiling and become the first student at Paul Robeson High School for Human Services to attend an Ivy League institution. (Applause.)
And this moment is particularly heartwarming for me because my mother, Judy Williams, who is a school nurse, attended Bartram School for Human Services, the STATED MEETING 105 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING predecessor to Robeson. And I also can think of no better day than this one to honor Alyssa because today we're also honoring her high school's namesake, Paul Robeson. And Paul Robeson is certainly smiling down on Alyssa, because just like him, she is a true renaissance person and uses her talent to uplift underserved groups. Not only does Alyssa excel academically, but she is also a mighty force on the polo field as well, and she plans to combine her love for science and animals by becoming a veterinarian, giving underserved communities the pet care they need. Thanks to Alyssa, generations of young West Philadelphians will know that if they work hard, they can reach the nation's most prestigious higher education institutions. Alyssa, while adjusting to life at Harvard may prove challenging, it's certainly nothing like West Philadelphia STATED MEETING 106 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING over there in Cambridge, but we know that you are going to thrive. And never forget that I am rooting for you, as is the entire City Council and your friends, family, teachers, and neighbors. We cannot wait to see what you accomplish. I also want to acknowledge the team at Paul Robeson High School for providing Alyssa and all of your students with a loving, nurturing, and safe learning environment. And I need to take a moment to explicitly acknowledge Principal Richard Gordon. (Applause.)
When Principal Gordon took over Paul Robeson in 2012, it was slated for permanent closure. His leadership and his refusal to give up on this school of 100 percent students of color, the majority of whom live in poverty, is the reason that we are able to gather here today in STATED MEETING 107 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING celebration. Just over a decade into Principal Gordon's tenure, Paul Robeson High School has a 95 percent graduation rate compared to a 70 percent graduation rate citywide. And in 2019, Principal Gordon and the school became recognized by the Commonwealth as a high progress school and removed from the list of low-performing schools in the City. He is the first State and National Principal of the Year in the history of the School District of Philadelphia, and we all owe a great debt to Principal Gordon. He is a true Philadelphia hero. And to Alyssa, her family, Principal Gordon, and all the young people that we saw today from Robeson High School, we congratulate you and we are so, so proud of you. I look forward to seeing more young West Philadelphians follow in Alyssa's footsteps and hopefully seeing STATED MEETING 108 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING Alyssa back in West Philly after her graduation in 2027. And with that, I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)

And a resolution recognizing Bob Smith for his standout career as a vital link between Comcast NBCUniversal and the Philadelphia STATED MEETING 109 4/13/2023 4/13/23 - STATED - 2ND READING non-profit community, introduced today by Councilman Squilla.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)

Thank you, Mr. President. I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.)
It's been moved and properly seconded. All in favor indicate by saying aye. (Aye.)
The ayes have it, and that resolution is adopted.
There are no other resolutions on the Final Passage Calendar, Mr. President. STATED MEETING 111 4/13/2023
Thank you very much. That concludes our Calendar for today, and we will now move to our speeches on behalf of the minority. (No response.)
Seeing none, speeches on behalf of the majority? The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Vaughn.
Thank you, Council President. I would just like to again acknowledge all of the men and women that are here today in honor of -- it's an honor to have them here, the members of OES, as well as everyone from Prince Hall, 4301 North Broad Street, welcome to Council. I know many of you and have watched you all grow in this order, and I am extremely proud of you all, and it is a blessing to still be a member of the organization and we will continue to STATED MEETING 112 4/13/2023 the City of Philadelphia. Thank you for being here. (Applause.)
Thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Phillips.
Thank you all. I just wanted to remind my colleagues and Council staff that today immediately after our Council session, we have a Big Brothers Big Sisters presentation. So join us to learn about the incredible impact that Big Brothers and Big Sisters has had on our communities. I am the current Chair of the Children and Youth Committee, so as you know, non-profit work and the work that organizations do for young people is incredibly important to me, but I know it's important to all of us. So I would STATED MEETING 113 4/13/2023 come and hear about their five-year strategic plan that revolves around inclusion, building community partnerships, and boosting growth and sustainability. The Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Allen, will be present, as well as Michele Molano, who is the Chief Operating Officer. So it's today. Lunch is provided by Capital Grille. So we're going to be in the City Council Caucus Room. So hope to see everyone after the presentation -- after today's session for the presentation from Big Brothers Big Sisters. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Thomas.
Good morning, Council President -- good afternoon, Council President. Good afternoon, colleagues. STATED MEETING 114 4/13/2023 foremost, I just want to send some light and love and well wishes to my sister, my friend, and her family and friends, Councilmember Brooks. We're praying for her and her entire group of folks who have been deeply hurt by the loss of a loved one. Outside of that, I did want to take a moment to also give a shout-out to my sister in Memphis. If folks don't know, this past week Memphis City Council passed the driving equality legislation, and they did it in a direct response to an unfortunate situation that a lot of people seen go viral, but they did it as a way to try to improve the relationship between communities of color and law enforcement, and that was our goal here in the City of Philadelphia. It's an honor to be the author of such legislation and to work with a legislative body who thought it was important to be able to acknowledge the fact that we have a problem as it relates STATED MEETING 115 4/13/2023 color are policed, and we wanted to at least offer a step in the right direction. We're not saying this is the end-all, be-all solution, but we at least wanted to offer a step in the right direction. I also wanted to take a moment to thank our City Solicitor, Solicitor Cortes, as well as Attorney Keir Bradford-Grey for successfully defending a lawsuit against driving equality, which the courts essentially ruled in our favor last week. So at the end of the day, the last two weeks has been an emotional and overwhelming two weeks for me and other folks who are really passionate about this issue, and I can assure you that the work will continue. So thank you, Council President, and thank you, colleagues, because at the end of the day, I appreciate you working with me, supporting me, and believing in the idea STATED MEETING 116 4/13/2023 support police and improve the relationship between communities of color and law enforcement simultaneously. Thank you, Council President.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.
Thank you, Mr. President. I just want to rise to acknowledge the hard work you're doing on the budget and the long hours you are doing through the hearings, and to acknowledge my colleagues and the level of questioning and inquiry about budget that I've heard over these hearings. It has risen in its intellectual properties and it's not the same questions from years and years ago. I'm listening to them and thankful. Finally, I want to thank my colleagues for bringing these young people here today from Lankenau and from STATED MEETING 117 4/13/2023 Robeson, the young lady that's going to Harvard, and I said it that way because of Member Phillips being from Yale. He gave her a shout-out, which was incredible to me. But it flies in the face of what you would read in the papers. It flies in the face of what we saw where 200 young people running around, that there are good young people, and I thank you every week when you -give them a round of applause. (Applause.)
Because when we acknowledge the positive members of our young society, it shows that they're the majority and that folks running around doing some of the bad things aren't the majority and that there is hope. That is why June, I swear to you, is my favorite month. Why? Because that's when the graduations happen, and then we watch and we celebrate our young STATED MEETING 118 4/13/2023 start a life, to begin a career. And we forget sometimes that they are the majority and that there's reason for optimism about our future. And I want to thank you all. And by the way, that young lady learned polo in the Fourth District up at Chamounix. Ain't that right? There you go. So those accomplishments spread throughout the City of Philadelphia, touch every zip code. So thank you guys for acknowledging our youth. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Harrity.
Hello, Council President, colleagues. I just wanted to thank my mentor, my friend, my spiritual advisor, Reverend John Roberts for praying over us STATED MEETING 119 4/13/2023 Roberts for over 25 years. We've worked together in the Sheriff's Department, actually shared an office together for a while, and he helped guide me and keep me on the right path. Without people like Reverend Roberts, so many young people would fall through the cracks. So I would just like to thank him for always supporting me and just tell him, I love you, my brother. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman -- Councilman Johnson, were STATED MEETING 120 4/13/2023 up? Were you teed up?
So Councilwoman Bass is next? It keeps changing. Bass next?
Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to follow up on my colleague's Councilman Harrity's comments regarding Pastor Roberts. And I know he said he loves you. I love you more. Pastor Roberts is someone who, you know, one of my first introductions into Christ was through Pastor Roberts. So I have much love and appreciation for you and all that you do in our community from North Philly, so in the neighborhood. STATED MEETING 121 4/13/2023 mention a couple of things, and the first is that I wanted to remind members that today at 1:00, we are having a Parks and Recreation Committee hearing. It should be very brief. If folks could be on at 1:00, we'll be done at 1:10, 1:15. It will be very short. There's one very quick bill that needs to be addressed, and nothing controversial, but we'd love to have everybody there on time. I also wanted to acknowledge the work done by my colleague Councilman Phillips on his bill today around nuisance businesses. As you know, we introduced the nuisance business bill several years ago, and then we worked on the stop-and-go bill, which has been effective, but the work continues on. I know my colleague Councilwoman Kathy Gilmore Richardson has done work on this matter, Councilman Curtis Jones. I really shouldn't call out names, because I think pretty much STATED MEETING 122 4/13/2023 particular and including Councilwoman Gilmore Richardson has done work on this issue, because we know what it's like when you have a nuisance business in the neighborhood that's really destroying the fabric of that community. And so I just wanted to say thank you and kudos, and of course you have my strong support. Anything that we can do to make these, what really should be community institutions and a resource for members of those communities, to get them online and in support with what the community needs, we are here to support you and your efforts in that. And last, but not least, I just wanted to thank this body and the Administration. I wasn't able to make it yesterday for the announcement of the additional resources that's going to be provided around cameras around parks and recreation centers, but as you all know, Mr. President, this body in 2013, I think STATED MEETING 123 4/13/2023 was, we undertook this effort. We did our announcement in the Second Council District with Councilman Kenyatta Johnson. I think it was at Marian Anderson, was it?
So this is another issue that continues on. Cameras are an important part of fighting crime today. You know, this is not some surveillance program. This is an important addition to help police solve crimes and really prevent crimes, particularly around our most vulnerable citizens. So I just wanted to thank this body for the work that we've done on that throughout the years and continue to do. So thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Councilwoman. And by the way, at the announcement, the Mayor did acknowledge and tepidly committed during STATED MEETING 124 4/13/2023 put more money for an expansion of additional cameras around the City of Philadelphia. So we should look forward to our budget debate and put millions and millions more dollars to make sure. And, Councilwoman, thank you for initiating this initially with the cameras inside the rec centers many years back. Thank you. Appreciate you.
Yeah. Thank you, Council President. I'm just going to be real brief. Yesterday I had the opportunity to review a very eye-opening article in the Philadelphia Inquirer that talked about the household inequality of income, particularly for African Americans here in the City of Philadelphia. The report talked about how the income among African Americans since 2010 STATED MEETING 125 4/13/2023 stagnant, only increased by $2,000. But, however, for white residents here in the City of Philadelphia, it increased by $15,000, by Latinos $10,000, and Asians $7,000, right? And I support everyone having the opportunity to increase the quality of their lives, but this is also a stark reminder when we address the issue of poverty here in the City of Philadelphia, the policies that we implement throughout this body and also throughout the City agencies as a whole has to be intentional when it comes to making sure Black and brown people have a seat at the table to improve the economic equality and disparities that are taking place here in the City of Philadelphia. So when we talk about the issue of crime and gun violence, right, there's a direct correlation. As my colleague Councilwoman Jamie Gauthier always talks about, those high zip codes where we see high poverty, you see high crime, you see STATED MEETING 126 4/13/2023 so as we move forward, we as a body and I know myself is going to be making sure I continue talking about this particular issue but, most importantly, beyond talking, working in partnership with my members to figure out how do we really aggressively continuously move the needle when it comes to poverty to erase that stigma of being the number one big city when it comes to poverty but, most importantly, in terms of this report, this specific report talks about how African Americans are on the lowest totem pole when it comes to income inequality more than any other race, but yet we have the most and prominent African Americans in key leadership positions. And that's not right, and that's totally unacceptable. And so I look forward to working with my colleagues from a partnership standpoint and a coalition standpoint, but this is something that we STATED MEETING 127 4/13/2023 a deeper dive and in making sure that we're helping those who are most vulnerable. And particularly based upon this report when it comes to moving the needle for African Americans, we got to do a better job. So I just wanted to put that out there for the record, and thank you, Council President. (Applause.)
Thank you, Councilman. I know I'm not supposed to speak, but, Councilman, you bring up an interesting point. There was a meeting last night in Brewerytown and it was about the Turn the Key program, about the affordable homeownership initiative, and there were over 80 people in that meeting, and the conversation from the citizens was about being able to buy a home to build family wealth, STATED MEETING 128 4/13/2023 in the meeting. So you're absolutely right, building family wealth, generational health is so, so important, and thank you, Councilman. Thank you. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Gauthier.
Thank you, Council President. I too wanted to extend my condolences to my friend Councilmember Brooks in the loss of her beloved family member and let her know that she and her family are in my thoughts at this time. And I also wanted to take a moment to thank Majority Leader Jones for his partnership and extending my mixed-income neighborhoods overlay bill to a portion of the Fourth District. We voted on that today. The bill requires that at least 20 percent of new developments ten units or more, whether they are rental or STATED MEETING 129 4/13/2023 homeownership, be deeply affordable to working-class people in our communities, and the bill also requires that those units are built on site. Although I greatly value our Housing Trust Fund and the voluntary legislation that allows developers to pay into it in lieu of building affordable housing into their developments, I think having the units is very important, and this bill requires that the units be in the development. And the reason that that's important is because the brick and mortar real estate is going to define who can be in a neighborhood and who cannot be in a neighborhood. And I also thank Councilmember Johnson for bringing up the article about the disparity in Black wealth, and I wanted to also quote a passage from that article, which says, "A declining Black population in the City and a declining poverty rate for Black Philadelphians may also suggest that less affluent Black STATED MEETING 130 4/13/2023 live in the City and are moving to inter-ring suburbs." And so I wanted to highlight that to say that maintaining equity in housing and in our neighborhoods is not going to happen by accident. It's going to happen through very intentional public policy, through very intentional investment of resources, like the Neighborhood Preservation Initiative, and I feel proud to be a part of a Council body that recognizes that. So thank you very much, Councilman, for your partnership.
Thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. Very quickly, I want to remind people we will be taking a tour of the Fire Academy Training Center tomorrow, STATED MEETING 131 4/13/2023 can attend and their staff. We found it very helpful in the other facilities, like the Police Training Academy where Officer Driscoll mounted up and did a virtual reality stop and found out how difficult it is to both balance public safety and preserve the rights of the accused. But he did a really good job, and I quote him, I'm Officer Driscoll, I'm here to help you. I wish every officer would lead with that. But tomorrow we'll be up at the Fire Academy. We'll be leaving outside of City Hall at 10:00 a.m. to take a look. As a result of the last trip, we doubled down and drilled down to add more money to the Police Training Academy, where needed, and we hope to tour the Fire Academy to find the same types of discoveries for the training of our first responders in the City of Philadelphia. Thank you.
STATED MEETING 132 4/13/2023 you, Councilman. That concludes our speeches on behalf of the minority and the majority. And with that, the Chair recognizes Councilman Squilla for a motion to adjourn.
