What what additional support can I counsel do to support these amazing programs that are hidden?
0:53:06
I think there should be a robust marketing plan to let these know as I spoke to the chair.
0:53:10
These are so our purpose today is to shed light on these amazing programs that are happening, but A lot of New Yorkers don't know about it, so what can the council do to support?

I think this perennial desiccated childhood school day campaign is something that counsel could continue to embrace and and uplift.
0:53:27
We'll be there.
0:53:28
And not only the father providers there, but we encourage certainly under my portfolio, we encourage all the CD programs to find ways to participate.
0:53:34
So if we can amplify and uplift that, I think that would be great.
0:53:38
And stay tuned as soon as we confirm the date for the next affirming fatherhood convening.

He'll be there.
