So as we mentioned, the, the chamber was kind of the leading force behind this letter that was addressed to Mayor Wilson, City Council President Joy Hollingsworth, pushing for a new kinda city plan to improve public safety.
David KromanHOST
Uh, we mentioned some of the signatories also, you know, Gov- former Governor Christine Gregoire, Fred Hutch.
David KromanHOST
Can you just kind of give us a little bit of a rundown of, of what you are asking for in that letter?
Erica C. BarnettHOST

Erica C. BarnettHOST
Because, you know, I think the mayor has gotten some criticism for sort of and especially from Joy Hollingsworth, city council president, for kind of having for not having voices of community for lack of a better term, you know, in her, in her orbit.
Erica C. BarnettHOST
And we should
Sandeep KaushikHOST
make clear that Marcus is African-American, right.
Brett HamilHOST
Do you know what he was talking about there?
Hannah KriegPANELIST
Yeah, I think that next week at full council, you can expect more theatrics and there'll be, you know, the good guys will come and tell the city council to please redirect funding from these cameras to violence prevention, as Joy Hollingsworth already has taken, you know, action to do.
Hannah KriegPANELIST
And I think they have like five demands.
Hannah KriegPANELIST
There's a community letter going around that people can still sign on to for the next week.
