Thank you, Council President. Before I motion for this resolution, I just want to thank all of my colleagues who over the last few years have been incredibly supportive Stated Meeting April 8, 2021 of the Philadelphia Children's Alliance's work. They have been recognized as one of the leading national standards and models of support to children. So I want to take this opportunity to thank them. I know in this new COVID reality, we don't get an opportunity to bring in some of these groups who are doing tremendous work during these very challenging times. I particularly want to thank the partners, the Philadelphia Department of Human Services, the Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit, the District Attorney's Office, Children's Hospital, and Saint Christopher's Hospital. Even during the pandemic, they did not close. They were available to our families and to our children in some of the most critical times. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, as we've seen in other cases, there have been an uptick in cases. I want to thank my colleagues in Council, Stated Meeting April 8, 2021 particularly the Committee on Children and Youth, who I know worked aggressively and proactively on all these issues, including the Juvenile Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition, who has had some success in breaking down some of the challenges that we have experienced in the City.

As we declare Child Abuse Prevention Month, I look forward to their participation as we talk about investing in young people in prevention and changing the challenges that we face as a city. I want to thank Ceisler Media and all its team for reminding us that throughout the pandemic, people have faced incredible challenges, but we have a team of experts who have made themselves available.
