Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for being here. It is my honor and pleasure today to recognize and celebrate the founding of the Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, Inc. on the occasion of its 120th Anniversary. Before we begin actually reading our resolution, I just wanted to underscore how critical it is for our City to see these array of accomplished men, Black men behind me, who all have persevered and showed resilience over the years to make sure they have broken through all these barriers.

Abele, 1875 to 1929, a graduate of Hahnemann Medical College and co-founder of Mercy Hospital; and

Whereas, all six founders lived in a strictly segregated place and time, and they were further united by their dedication to providing quality health care to the African American community in Philadelphia; Stated Meeting 16 05/02/2024

Whereas, Sigma Pi Phi, Alpha Boulé has been a source of strength, intellectual activism and social engagement for Philadelphians of distinction in a variety of professions, including, for example: the Honorable Raymond Pace Alexander, City Councilman, Judge and civic leader; Dr. Bernard Watson, educator, civic leader and foundation president; Robert W.

Kaizan Kollin for Brooks resolution about hepatitis. Can Paul Elia, Paul Birdsong and Joseph Bo Biden also make their way to the podium. (Witness approached podium.)

Good morning. (Good morning.)

Kaizan Kollin. Stated Meeting 80 05/02/2024 I am the health program manager of Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation or PCDC. I am here to represent my organization and the Chinatown community that we serve in voicing our support of Councilmember Brooks' privileged resolution honoring Hepatitis Awareness Month. Hep B is a disease that continues to disproportionately affect Asian Americans, and Asian Pacific Islanders make up 50 percent of the heavy infection burden in the nation and have liver cancer rates up to 13 times higher than Caucasians. Awareness is key. We can't just plop a vaccine clinic or hepatitis screening band in the middle of Chinatown without awareness and education that is, one, culturally appropriate and, two, linguistically accessible. Stated Meeting 81 05/02/2024 This is especially true in the Chinese and the Greater Asian community that we serve daily at PCDC. In our community, there is stigma attached to the disease, generations of misguided beliefs and lack of education of how this disease is transmitted. And you double that with similar beliefs to screening and you build barriers, barriers that make screening and Hep B vaccinations for AAPI is that much more inaccessible. However, what we found successful was utilizing the trust that our organization has in our community, leveraging our partnerships with partners such as the Hep B Foundation. In the past year, we were able to screen community members for Hepatitis B, conduct storytelling workshops by inviting community members with the lived experience to share their Stated Meeting 82 05/02/2024 stories and inspire their neighbors. And this is why I'm here so our community members who were screened who made the effort to participate in our awareness campaigns from our kids and families in our Healthy Color contest for a healthy liver, and our storytelling participants such as Ms. Lin and her family to see a tangible impact of the work and our collaboration with them in the past year. By having a dedicated month to Hep B Awareness, this makes personal efforts to get screened and to learn more about this disease that much more significant. This is constant work. This Hepatitis Awareness Month, this acknowledgement to this disease City Council helps us truly realize that our health equity work means something to the community that we serve and let's our Stated Meeting 83 05/02/2024 community members know that their efforts to improve their wellness is courageous in itself. Thank you. (Applause.)

Paul Elia, Paul Birdsong, Joseph Bo Biden and Hilary Langer also make their way to the podium. (Witnesses approached podium.)

So I noticed these bills, these Resolutions 240 -- let me make it bigger, 240344 urging the Biden Administration to immediately release the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, the '350, authorizing the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority to execute and deliver to the Philadelphia Land Bank deeds conveying -- I'm not going to read Stated Meeting 84 05/02/2024 the whole thing. 240351, authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property to execute and deliver to Philadelphia Redeveloping Authority deeds conveying fee simple title to 1532 -- I'm not going to read the whole thing. My question is, my question to City Council, I saw that little speech the Mayor did pertaining to y'all. How you feel about that? Because I feel like Arjenay Thompson or Lauren Gennello or Angela Elia or Michael Miller are more important than all of this other stuff that we keep talking about. We talking about deeds. We talking about redeveloping, but you still got all of these homicides that are unsolved. You still got all these people being killed every day out here. We get these Stated Meeting 85 05/02/2024 buildings and we redevelop them and we move new people from out of town into them and we bring businesses here and they get shot up and their kids are getting killed. What good did that do the City? You see that silence. All them people that are getting killed here are silent just like that. We're talking about nonsense that means nothing. And I speak on behalf of the people of Philadelphia. We don't care about the deeds. We don't care about the redeveloping. We care about our children and whether they're safe walking down the street. We care about whether or not these homicides get solved and these mothers get closure. All power to the people. (Applause.)

Joseph Bo Biden, Hilary Langer, Sarah Young Stated Meeting 86 05/02/2024 and Jenna Collins make their way to the podium. (No response.)

Jake Zychick, Jeremy Blatstein, make your way to the podium please. (Witnesses approached podium.)

Good morning, members of City Council. Thank you for giving Community Legal Services the opportunity to speak today on something as important as HUD's proposed Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule. My name is Jenna Collins. I'm the Director of Supervision and Professional Development and housing attorney at Community Legal Services. I have over a decade of experience as a housing advocate and have represented maybe thousands of Philadelphians in housing matters over the course of Stated Meeting 87 05/02/2024 my career. As an organization, CLS has over 50 years of experience representing clients in their efforts to provide safe, affordable and stable housing for their families. It is because of our vast experience advocating around housing issues for Philadelphia's most vulnerable citizens that CLS and I are in firm support of Councilmember Landau's resolution urging the Biden Administration to immediately release the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule. As Councilmember Landau lays out in her resolution, the proposed rule would further build on HUD's 2015 rule, which formalized HUD's mandate under the Fair Housing Act, that HUD or any other entity that receives federal Stated Meeting 88 05/02/2024 funding must use their funding to redress inequities in the housing system. In enacting Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Congress recognized that where a family lives, where it is allowed to live is inextricably bound up with better education, better jobs, economic motivation and good living conditions. According to one study using 2020 U.S. Census data, Philadelphia remained the 11th most segregated city in the country. While Philadelphia is an incredibly diverse city with a majority minority population, its neighborhoods remain incredibly segregated with its Black and Brown residents often pushed to the poorest areas of the City with the least City resources and the least amount of safe, habitable housing Stated Meeting 89 05/02/2024 stock. This is why the release of this rule is so integral to Philadelphia and the community's ongoing work around the affordable housing crisis and our commitment to creating the best lives we can for our City's most vulnerable population. It is no coincidence that the vast majority of the clients who seek CLS's assistance in achieving housing stability through both the rental market and homeownership are Black women and children. Release of this rule not only supports the work that Philadelphia and CLS are doing, but is a step closer to realizing the dream of the Fair Housing Act to provide fair housing throughout the United States. Thank you. (Applause.)

Jake Zychick, Stated Meeting 90 05/02/2024 Jeremy Blatstein and Eric Williams.

Good morning all. My name is Jake Zychick. I'm the Community Advocacy Director with the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. This morning I would like to thank Councilmember Ahmad and all of City Council for the resolution recognizing May as Stroke Month, so thank you all. in adults globally over the age of 25 are impacted by stroke, and one of the more preventable causes of stroke is high blood pressure. More than one-third of individual adults in Philadelphia are impacted by high blood pressure and there's a lot that we can do. Here at the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, we have been working very closely with our clinical and community partners to Stated Meeting 91 05/02/2024 implement, target blood pressure programs and also provide selfmonitored blood pressure cuffs and other initiatives to really address blood pressure and stroke. So this American Stroke Month this May, I really wanted to just highlight two aspects of really two campaigns that we are working on. First is FAST, F-A-S-T, and those are the warning signs of stroke. They are face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty and then that is time to call 911. So that is the FAST warning signs. And we do have resources that we can provide with all City Council Offices and with the City and Administration around that. Last year we provided and launched our Spanish speaking initiative Rapido, so if you'd like those resources also, it's very Stated Meeting 92 05/02/2024 similar to FAST to our Spanishspeaking population. Once again as always, I just want to say to everyone in City Council. At the American Heart Association/Stroke Association, to please utilize us as a resource and leverage our research and science and evidencebased initiatives to really address health equity and cardiovascular health in the City of Philadelphia. Once again, thank you to Councilmember Ahmad and everyone in City Council for recognizing May as Stroke Month. Have a great one. (Applause.)

Eric Williams, Felix Gardenhire and Ogbonna Hagins. (Witnesses approached podium.)

Hello, Philadelphia City Council. My name's Jeremy Blatstein. I'm Stated Meeting 93 05/02/2024 talking in support of Bill 240344. HUD Fair Housing, you just heard statements made about equity and affordable housing across Philadelphia, but every day (inaudible) that limit where density can be built in Philadelphia. Every restrictive zoning overlay forces the housing demand to be pushed out to the fringe. It started with the Society Hill overlay and it went from there. It was one overlay after the next. You look at Girard Avenue, you limit the density that you can build on Girard Avenue, where then is the houses that are going to be being built in those communities that don't have a voice. So it's really important when you talk about gentrification to recognize where gentrification starts. Gentrification starts in Stated Meeting 94 05/02/2024 those areas where people want to live but can't afford it, and it starts in Society Hill. It starts in Rittenhouse. Those are the areas that they have voices, they have lawyers that are able to limit what is being able to be developed. You're seeing it right now with the bus depot right now. It's a bus garage, that should be a great place to have. But you'll see Society Hill will pay lawyers to try to prevent that. So as we move forward to talk about affordable housing, it's very important to really look at where we're putting density along our transit quarters so that we can allow the neighborhoods that have the resources to have the affordable housing being built. And the last thing I will say is encouraging passing of the 10-year tax exemption for Stated Meeting 95 05/02/2024 affordable housing. That's already been passed on the state level and it's for 30 percent of the units at 60 percent AMI for a full 10-year tax abatement, and it will go a long way for changing affordable housing in Philadelphia. Thank you.

Eric Williams. May Felix Gardenhire, Ogbonna Hagins and Warren Bloom also make their way to the podium. SENIOR GRAND WARDEN WILLIAMS: Good morning, President City Council again. I failed to recognize, I want all Prince Hall Masons to please stand and take a bow. (Applause.) SENIOR GRAND WARDEN WILLIAMS: One point I wanted to make, the Reverend Prince Hall did so much with so little resources. Fastforward to today, we have the Stated Meeting 96 05/02/2024 resources and people in high places, but are we putting forth the effort. So just let's think about that. We appreciate you. We appreciate the recognition and we're here to serve. Thank you.

Thank you. (Applause.)

Felix Gardenhire, Ogbonna Hagins, Warren Bloom and Kate Perez also make your way to the podium. (Witnesses approached podium.)

Okay. All things being said by our Grand Senior Warden Eric Williams, I just wanted to invite -- we actually have a museum up at 4301 North Broad Street and would like to invite all members to come and see our museum. And you can go through 240 years of history just by Stated Meeting 97 05/02/2024 walking in our little small museum, and we have that much history in that little room. So that's my invitation. Thank you.

Thank you. (Applause.)

Great morning, everyone. It's your unseated Councilmember Ogbonna Hagins. I'm speaking about this bill about changing the names. Names and words are very important in conveying messages and meanings. Imagine if the name change said Papa as opposed to Mama. It would give the impression that she was a man. The same holds true when referring to persons of emancipated ancestry. We're not Black. We're not African American. As a matter of fact, after our ancestors were freed during reconstruction, we Stated Meeting 98 05/02/2024 were called American Freedmen. So from this day forward, all media has to cease and desist referring to me, the descendants of slavery as Black. Read what Black's Law Dictionary says about Black, right. We're not Black people. We are a distinct group. In Nigeria, you have the Yoruba, you have the Hausa and you have the Igbo. They are all distinct in their groups even though they're from Nigeria. So what I'm saying essentially today is the last day to refer to descendants of slavery as Black or African American. You don't want to defame who I am. And it actually is a negative effect to emancipation because it's kind of negating the fact that I was emancipated by not referring to me by my proper status as an American Freedman. I'm the Stated Meeting 99 05/02/2024 only people -- my descendants are the only people who were emancipated in this country. So you have immigrants that come in. They're naturalized citizens. The emancipated citizens have different rights. And I'm going to be honest with all of you sitting down here. You don't know the rights of the American Freedmen, you don't. And it's impossible to adequately represent the American Freedmen without knowing what their rights are. So I implore you to stop using Black, stop using African American. I am an American Freedman. All the forms throughout the City has to change to reflect who we are. Ogbonna Hagins, your unseated Councilmember. Over and out.

Warren Bloom and then Kate Perez.

Good morning, Stated Meeting 100 05/02/2024 Council President Johnson and the members of Council. I'm here to say I'm here to support the passion of people like Ogbonna Hagins, this other gentleman who spoke out. I just want to say I'm glad to be here today, but I'm going to let everybody know that I'm going to be more active, Councilman Jones, in coming down and helping with this legislative process to encourage all of our members of Council, that my main passion will be the structural racism and to protect our future. And our future is our youth, our young people in this City. So thank you for the good work you're doing. I'm looking forward to being more a participant down here in Council. And all of you stay encouraged. Thank you very much, and everybody have a nice weekend. Stated Meeting 101 05/02/2024

Kate Perez.

We're here again to beg the President to do something to actually help the American people. A few weeks ago we were here to ask the government to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program that served more than 20 million Americans. And now, the program is ending because the government doesn't have any money. This comes right after the government decided to ignore its constituents and give $26 billion to Israel. This rule aims to help our citizens in concentrated poverty. And in the U.S. we have over 14 million people in concentrated poverty. Ending homelessness here would cost anywhere from $11 billion to $30 billion a year. Again, $26 billion to Israel. Today we're calling Biden to Stated Meeting 102 05/02/2024 protect against discrimination against protected groups, kind of like how only certain religions are allowed to buy land in occupied territories of Palestine and the West Bank. The rule would also use federal funding to transform areas where protected groups lived back into thriving communities. How much money do we think it would take to clear rubble, extract bodies, detoxify the soil, rebuild the sewage system, rebuild water filtration. This rule would also improve community education and build up their health system, a health system that doesn't exist in Palestine anymore. There's no hospitals left. They claimed Nasser was hiding Hamas. And after weeks, they could not find one Hamas member and the only thing they left Stated Meeting 103 05/02/2024 behind was a mass grave with 300 people buried, some in zip ties, medics and scrubs, patients in catheters, people buried alive. The Columbia University has made itself a stain on our country by inviting NYPD to brutalize their students and lock journalists in a building while Columbia, the country, has been a shining light in how to deal with genocide. By cutting off arm sales and dissolving all relations with the state of Israel, Columbian President Gustavo Petro says if, Palestine dies, humanity dies and we will not let it die. With one child murdered every 10 minutes, how many more Palestinians will be alive before next Council. How many more until you call for a ceasefire. (Applause.)

Council President, there are no other resolutions in my possession.

That completes our Calendar for today. Are there any speeches on behalf of the Minority? The Chair recognizes Councilmember Brooks.

Thank you, Council President. Today I'm introducing resolutions to declare May as both Teacher Appreciation Month and Hepatitis Awareness Month in the City of Philadelphia. Our teachers need and deserve more than appreciation. They need and deserve safe and modern school buildings to work in, adequate resources for their students and fully staffed school communities, including nurses, social workers, Stated Meeting 140 05/02/2024 can provide one-on-one support for the students who need it. Every day I speak with educators who are making due with less and less. Nearly in Philadelphia teachers choose to leave the profession between 2021 and '22, and many more are also leaving. They are leaving not because they don't care, but because they don't -- or because they don't love and believe in our children, but out of sheer exhaustion. And when we lose our teachers, it opens an enormous gap in our ability to engage and educate our young people. So this month, this year and years to come, our commitment to our educators must extend beyond appreciation, but to the real work of transforming our schools into places of joy and healing for Stated Meeting 141 05/02/2024 educators, students, families and communities. As we begin Hepatitis Awareness Month, I want to commend two organizations: Hepatitis C Allies of Philadelphia and Hep B United Philadelphia who have been working for years to end these devastating illnesses. These viruses are the leading causes of liver cancer and they kill now more than HIV and AIDS. More than 50,000 Philadelphians are living with these viruses, and the majority of the people are not aware that they are affected. One of the primary ways that these viruses spread is through shared needles. With the dramatic loss of funding for safe needle exchange in Philadelphia, it will become even more difficult to combat Hep B and C in our city, unless we are ready to use all the Stated Meeting 142 05/02/2024 disposal. Philadelphians will continue to suffer from these preventable curable diseases. We now have a cure for Hepatitis C which is a monumental accomplishment, but we will not fully eradicate these illnesses without raising awareness, increasing access to affordable health care and investing in preventive strategies that are proven to save lives. Thank you so much, Council President.

You're welcome. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Nic O'Rourke.

Thank you, Council President. So much has been said and has happened and transpired today Stated Meeting 143 05/02/2024 acknowledging a number of Black society's institutional life, whether it be through the acknowledgement of the Boulé that were present today as well as the most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania and the Brothers of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge thereof. I'm struck because Reverend Bonnie came up to me prior to the beginning of the session and asked a few questions about everybody's so well-dressed and all of that, but also mentioned in passing, clergy-to-clergy, that today is also National or International Day of Prayer. I'm reminded and the brothers here gathered would also recall, the Lord actually visited -- and the Hebrew Bible suggests that the Lord visited Solomon -- actually I think it's in Stated Meeting 144 05/02/2024 1 Kings 3. He visited Solomon and asked him, what do you require of me, what do you want. And Solomon says back, that with all these great people that he has to lead, he asked for wisdom, to be able to govern these great people. In fact he says, give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, able to discern between good and evil. For who can govern this great people of yours. And I think that's apropos for all of my colleagues here gathered as we are in the midst of tumultuous times internationally, nationally, domestically, all of that. And so, as we are doing the people's business, let's take a note from this National Day of Prayer and seek the face of that which is important to us that we might be good legislators and good Stated Meeting 145 05/02/2024 in our time here. Thank you, Council President.

Thank you. Very well said. (Applause.)

The Chair recognizes speeches on behalf of the Majority. Chair recognizes Councilmember Phillips.

Thank you, Council President Johnson and Council colleagues. Good afternoon. Today is a moment of both immense pride and personal privilege for me. On this day I am afforded a singular honor. Today we honor someone worthy of great note over many decades. I was pleased to introduce a legislation to rename the West Oak Lane Library Stated Meeting 146 05/02/2024 West Oak Lane after Congressman Dwight Evans, someone who has inspired, encouraged and led by example. He's a friend to all, a source of wise and sage counsel and one who has labored for decades in the vineyards of public service. Dwight Evans has been an unmatched voice in education reform, community vitalization and a visionary in conceiving and building holistic development models. When education in our communities failed, then State Representative Dwight Evans innovated and led efforts to create West Oak Lane Charter School. Transcending both party and ideology, Representative Evans offers us a vision in divided times on how to work together, as he would say, to transform ideas and Stated Meeting 147 05/02/2024 ahead of their proverbial times. When urban blight, disinvestment and post-industrial decay became national problems, Dwight Evans created ennobling models that featured jazz music known as the Jazz Festival in West Oak Lane. The Arts, local talent and well-known global names came to West Oak Lane to show the potential and vitality of our own creativity and artistry. He possessed an oversized ability to show us how beautiful life could be. Ogontz Avenue was transformed into a global stage, and we were all persuaded that where we lived was as beautiful and substantial as any stage anywhere in the world. While resurrecting the physical real estate of West Oak Lane, he was at the same time building people and the possibility Stated Meeting 148 05/02/2024 The first African American Chair of the Pennsylvania House Appropriations Committee, he is an inspiration to our current Chair, Representative Jordan Harris. For my generation, Congressman Evans is a living giant, a walking, breathing inspiration from a bygone era of genteel and encouraging leaders who inspire and encourage us by example and integrity. His tenor and tone and temper are such that all of us could and should adopt as we interact with one another, as we remind ourselves that we are doing the people's business and not our own business. On a personal note, Congressman Dwight Evans has meant the world to me as a public figure. I remember in high school wearing the Dwight Evans' buttons, shirts, Stated Meeting 149 05/02/2024 think about block-by-block transformation, you should think about a man named Dwight Evans. And if we want to think about public servants, I always said think about Dwight Evans. I went to a conservative high school. That didn't ring a bell with them, but I was willing to always talk about this man who I barely knew, someone I just studied. It was several weeks ago when I was driving through West Oak Lane. I was sitting in my car and I said, wow, how did I get here. I didn't imagine this, didn't desire it, but I'm here. And I said, you know what, that legacy of Dwight Evans has to continue in the Northwest community. And I said, a lot of us are getting older and that Generation Z is also coming up and I want them Stated Meeting 150 05/02/2024 of people who have paved the way. And that is why I was excited to think of this idea that will help our community remember and also live the legacy of Dwight Evans. And just to find out in a couple of weeks, he will be celebrating his 70th birthday.

So every member of this body can go ad nauseam about Dwight Evans as a friend, colleague, mentor, patron and exemplar. There would be no end to the plaudits, which are so richly deserved because they have been so justly earned. And because of his example, I'm pleased to offer this bill which recognizes Congressman Evans' work at so many levels by renaming the West Oak Lane Library, the Dwight Evans Library of West Oak Lane in honor of his living and lasting accomplishments in the Stated Meeting 151 05/02/2024 community, the State House and United States Congress. I'm grateful that all 17 members of Council have co-sponsored this legislation. And I look forward to the day that we celebrate him for all of his incredible work for our City of Philadelphia. Thank you. )

You're welcome. Rightfully deserved. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Curtis Jones.

Thank you, Mr. President. I just want to thank you for the appointment regarding the work that is to be done with the Kensington Caucus. The price we pay for the space we occupy is service, service. And I was asked last night, well, you don't Stated Meeting 152 05/02/2024 had to correct them and say, yes, I do. Because until Kensington is safe, no neighborhood in the City of Philadelphia, Mr. President, is safe. It is symbolized today that we have wonderful young people that have come down from Roxborough, and I was informed by Member Thomas of two potential ODs from the same school. Now, that's not a commonly known kind of dirty secret, that this opioid crisis is everywhere and it spreads. The gravity of Kensington then exports it out to other neighborhoods. So how we treat Kensington is going to be a blueprint for other neighborhoods. You shouted out one yesterday at the press conference. So I say to you that we have to collectively figure this thing out under the leadership of Stated Meeting 153 05/02/2024 is ground zero, but she is not the only ground in Philadelphia that needs to be mindful of what this is. I know in unsuspected neighborhoods there are Narcan distribution machines. I'd have never thought that it was spread that wide. So we have to go to ground zero like in most epidemics or dis -- you got to find ground zero and work your way out. So I look forward to the work, Member. I look forward to rolling up our sleeves with the Kensington Caucus and getting this figured out. It will not be easy. We can't do it alone. We need the Mayor. We need private sector. We need nonprofits. We need hospitals working together. And so, I look forward to that work, Mr. President. Thank Stated Meeting 154 05/02/2024

You're welcome. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Nina Ahmad.

Thank you, Council President. And I echo my colleague, Chair of the Public Safety Committee since I was also just added to the Special Committee, and I commend my colleague Chairwoman Quetcy Lozada, who is heading this effort, but it's a template for the rest of the City. I wanted to also just once again acknowledge the brilliance and excellence that was on display of Black men in the City of Philadelphia. We already spoke at great length about it, but I cannot underscore enough that our young people hopefully will watch this and see what great determination Stated Meeting 155 05/02/2024 and how there's so much support for them to shine just like those we saw today in this chamber. I wanted to also speak about that May is American Stroke Month joining with our partners, the American Stroke Association which is an initiative of the American Heart Association, and spreading the word about a sadly common and often deadly condition which is also preventable, treatable and beatable. Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in Philadelphia, fourth leading cause of death in Philadelphia. And Philadelphia's 3.97 percent incidence of stroke history is the largest among big cities in the U.S. Also, high blood pressure, a major contributor to stroke Stated Meeting 156 05/02/2024 34 percent adult Philadelphians. Everyone should know F-A-S-T, FAST, the warning signs which was spoken about by one of our public testifiers. Face, F, face drooping; A, arm weakness; S, speech difficulty; T, time to call 911. American Stroke Association will be having a stroke awareness webinar. Registration details can be found on my socials at cmninahmad. Thank you to the American Stroke Association in May and all year-round for raising awareness together to end stroke initiative. Second, I wanted to just talk about the other resolution introduced with Majority Whip Thomas, which is a classic Philadelphia underdog story, the RoboLancers Robotic Team at Central High School. Last month they took Stated Meeting 157 05/02/2024 robot, Leonardo DaPinchi to Houston for the FIRST Robotics Championship where they competed against more than 600 teams from around the world. They're also funny and they're smart and they're brilliant. They were not favored to win. However, they outdrove the competition and brought the trophy back to Philly. Shout-out to Coach Michael Johnson for a great game plan. A victory of Central High School, the School District and the STEM talent pipeline locally and companies will come to know Philadelphia as a hot bed of talent and put down roots here. Congratulations to the Central High RoboLancers and win it all next year again. Thank you, Council President. Stated Meeting 158 05/02/2024

You're welcome. (Applause.)

Chair recognizes Councilmember Lozada.

Thank you, Council President. First, let me begin by saying thank you to you and my colleagues who participated in the budget meetings in the Northwood community last night. Grateful for having you all in the 7th Council District and hearing the concerns and the comments that the residents of that community had, that they're not accustomed to that, right. It was very clear yesterday that they don't often get visited by electeds unless it's election time. And so, they are grateful. I've received many positive messages after that meeting, and Stated Meeting 159 05/02/2024 to us as their representatives to continue to come back beyond budget season to inform them about how their government works for them. And so, I look forward to that in the future. I'd also like to thank Councilmember Phillips for co-introducing a resolution that recognizes Alfredo Calderon. The Latino community lost a leader over the weekend. He served as the Executive Director of ASPIRA, Inc. of Pennsylvania for over 20 years. Alfredo died suddenly, and his death is a reminder that we are here to serve and that each of us has a purpose, and we never know when our time is up. And Alfredo over the course of the last year or so really changed his perspective on life, his vision for the organization, Stated Meeting 160 05/02/2024 work and how he approached it. And it is a sad day because I think that -- all of that change really was for the positive. The ASPIRA community has lost someone who prioritized bilingual learning, who prioritized families who were challenged with the English language, and they need our support as a city and as a community. His role impacted over 4,500 students who are currently enrolled there but thousands more who have gone through the ASPIRA education system. And so, today I ask for all of you to keep them in your prayers, to be as supportive as possible. They were looking forward to not just working with me as their representative in City government but with the entire legislative body, because their institutions were in multiple Stated Meeting 161 05/02/2024 so, they were really looking forward to working with this legislative body on expanding the services that they were able to provide or that they are able to provide across the City of Philadelphia. So please keep them in your thoughts and prayers and send them positive vibes. Thank you.

Thank you. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Rue Landau.

Thank you, Council President. Thank you, colleagues. I was excited to introduce a resolution today alongside Majority Whip Isaiah Thomas declaring the upcoming week Tech Week here in Philadelphia. Tech Week is a great opportunity to acknowledge the brilliant Stated Meeting 162 05/02/2024 community, which is driving so much information here in the City and nationally, the engineers, the programmers, the designers and the visionaries. As Chair of the Technology and Information Services Committee, I believe in transformative power of technology for good. As we saw at last week's 57-plus Blocks hearing, technology and data can be used to uplift communities, break down barriers and empower all of us. This week is about harnessing the potential of tech and creativity to find innovative solutions for a better, safer, sustainable and more equitable Philadelphia. I'm also excited to recognize Temple University's mascot, the Owl, on winning the Philadelphia Inquirer's first ever Mascot Bracket. Like many of my Stated Meeting 163 05/02/2024 colleagues, I'm a proud Temple alum and I've long been a fan of our mascot Hooter the Owl. This mascot was originally chosen due to its popular symbolism for wisdom and intelligence but has since come to represent resilience and adaptability, which I know firsthand Temple students routinely demonstrate. On behalf of many of us on City Council, congratulations to Temple University's beloved mascot the Owl, Temple-made, Temple-proud. And on a serious note too, I also just want to add my thoughts to the passing of Alfredo Calderon as well. He was one of my Commissioners when I was the Director of the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations. I got to know him quite well and his work to really transform the lives of Latino youth throughout the Stated Meeting 164 05/02/2024

You're welcome. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Jim Harrity.

Good afternoon, Council President. Today I'd like to also thank our Chairwoman of the Kensington Caucus for her town hall last night. I've been to most of the town halls that we've had. I think I may have missed one, but it was the first time that we actually heard from children, and it was very enlightening. A few months ago I visited Memphis Street Academy and spoke to the children there also. And one of the things that they brought up in our meeting was food insecurities among students. And then again last night, members of the student government brought up Stated Meeting 165 05/02/2024 me. That is just unacceptable, and children should not have to worry about where they're going to get their next meal, especially when they're in school. Their job when they are in school is to learn, and it's hard to learn when you're thinking about your next meal. Again, for me this is unacceptable. That's why I'm glad that talking with my colleagues and talking with some people in the philanthropy field such as Max Tuttleman and Caring for Friends, a food pantry in the Northeast, we are going to be starting a pantry at Memphis Street Academy very shortly, where the kids will be able to come and pick up food not only for themselves but for their brothers and sisters, because the harsh reality is that so many kids, especially from where Stated Meeting 166 05/02/2024 growing up way too fast. They in some cases are in charge of taking care of their younger brothers and sisters. So I'm calling on this body to join with me and to make a commitment just like I'm willing to make a commitment to make sure that no child in the City of Philadelphia has to worry about where their next meal is coming from. So I look forward to continuing this work. I look forward to expanding this work. We talked to the kids last night afterwards and they would like to participate also. And the good thing is this will be run by the kids themselves so that they learn some things, you know, not only the skills of running a pantry but also learning that we don't always know what somebody is going through. Stated Meeting 167 05/02/2024 And, you know, I'm not saying that I thought of this. I actually got it from Camden. The football team at Camden High School was doing it. And it struck me because when they were talking about it, they explained how they came to realize that they, themselves, did not know what some of their fellow students were going through because they saw students come to pick up that food that they never expected to come. So I think that as we move forward, we need to be thinking about the children of Philadelphia. And like I said, in this City, in this United States no kid should ever go hungry, especially not when they're at school. So thank you.

Thank you, Member Harrity. (Applause.)

Stated Meeting 168 05/02/2024 up the members of the Special Committee on Food Insecurity Task Force. And so, we definitely want to include you in that process and whatever we can do to help your efforts in terms of helping the young people kick off the food pantry. We'll provide some additional resources and contacts to help you put things together.

Thank you, Council President.

At this time, there are no more speeches on behalf of the Majority. And so, before I acknowledge Councilmember Thomas for a motion to adjourn, I just want to say, Let's go Sixers. And tell Tracy Morgan to keep it moving. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Thomas for a motion to adjourn. Stated Meeting 169 05/02/2024

Definitely, Let's go Sixers. Thank you, Council President. I move that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, May 9, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. sharp. (Duly seconded.)

It has been moved and properly seconded that the Council stand adjourned until Thursday, May 9th, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. All those in favor will signify by saying aye. (Aye.)

Those opposed? (No response.)
