Um, and that is about um this is the proclamation declaring October nineteenth through twenty twenty-five united against hate week.

But before I read that proclamation, I also want to note that October is domestic aware domestic violence awareness month.

Some of us at the Daisy are wearing purple or shades of purple because that is the um the color of awareness of domestic violence, which is a serious and complicated issue in all of our communities, including Alameda.

And I do want to share with the public and with my council colleagues that we're actually working on a domestic violence awareness video, actually producing two videos.

One will be directed to adults and the other to youth because complicated relationships happen starting at a young age.

And I am honored to be working with Building Futures, Alameda Family Services, which has a youth advisory committee, so they're going to help us with the youth focused video.

From our Social Service Human Relations Board, Bernie Wolf is working with us, and he's the Shrub, that's the acronym for Social Service Human Relations Board.

He's Shrubs liaison to Alameda's domestic violence task force.
