I've heard the PSAs, I take the train probably every day.
2:23:04
We've I've funded teen centers in our in our New York Public Libraries.
2:23:08
We have funded after school programs to keep kids busy.
2:23:12
There's so many things that we're trying to do as council members, but it is so different when you hear directly from someone and and you'll hear, from from Norma Soon, from miss Nazario on on her story.
2:23:26
We have the attorney general suing TikTok because of how social media affects children's health and leading to dangerous outcomes.
2:23:34
And so because my time is already up, I'll just ask, you know, the number of tragedies just this year is so startling.
