Well, we're here now.

So I I I would be looking forward to this budget season of hearing a new need because if we're saying it's a issue and we have all of these agencies here working together now, it clearly is a need if, you know, we're saying that this is a issue and and something we wanna address because we cannot allow providers to just do work for free.

I don't believe in that.
1:53:30
Absolutely.
1:53:31
Mhmm.
1:53:31
Thank you.

What role does the YC believe in, it should be playing in educating and engaging and preventing subway surfing?

The the role of making sure we partner and continue the message of New York City Public Schools, to make sure that we share whether whether it's curriculum, whether it's the campaign message, or any other information that we're able to find through our focus groups that we share with our partners here at the table.
