Also, Talking about it, but it is soon. Sibon y por qué se permitió en el descubriente. No, no, no. Good morning and welcome to the regular meeting of City Council on Tuesday, June 30th, 2026. Would the clerk please take the role? Mr. Charland, Mr. Coghill, two thousand twenty six. It's, Mr. Mosley. Here, Mrs. Salonetro. Here. Mrs. Strasberger. Here. Mrs. Warwick. Here. Mr. Wilson. Mr. Lavelle President. Here. Five members present. Thank you. For those who are able, please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance, remain standing for a moment of silence. To the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which is one nation under God. Thank you. Our next order of business is to amend the agenda. So move. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. The agenda has been amended. Our next order of business is proclamations. We'll begin with Councilman Mosley. I would uh like to ask the folks who are here for Martyrs Day to come up and join me. I'd like to thank Martha for uh bringing this to my attention and asking me to present this proclamation uh as we um celebrate the 250th and anniversary of this country, uh a country that has had a very complicated history, um, as we all know, while it being complicated, uh, you know, very inspirational and um very important to note the 174th anniversary of Frederick Douglass's speech, and there's very few Americans who truly embody the complicated but inspirational history uh of America, like like the great Frederick Douglass. So uh I will uh read this proclamation to commemorate you know truly one of the the great Americans and you know uh a story that truly exemplifies who we are as a nation. And whereas the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776, and we're at July 4th is celebrated annually as a tribute to American ideals of liberty and freedom. And whereas a nation will celebrate its 250th anniversary on July 4th, 2026, and whereas July 5th marks the anniversary of Frederick Douglass' historic 1852 address, What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? A powerful call to confront the gap between America's founding ideas and this live reality. And whereas throughout American history, courageous individuals have lost their lives in the pursuit of equality, justice, and human rights for all people. And whereas Christmas Addicts, the first martyr of the American Revolution at the Boston Massacre to 21st century advocates who have lost their lives protesting injustice. These martyrs represent the continuing American revolution. Whereas members of our community have lost their lives in the struggle for human dignity and equal justice under the law, and whereas it is fitting and proper that we honor their memory and recommit ourselves to the principles for which they made the ultimate sacrifice. Now, therefore, be a resolve that the council of the city of Pittsburgh does hereby declare the fifth day of July 2026 to be Martyr's Day in the City of Pittsburgh, a day of remembrance, reflection, and renewed commitment to social justice and human rights for all. Maybe we have a motion to approve.
