Thank you so much Kate.

Yeah, I can agree with you more.

Nonprofits not only hold trust with community members in the way particularly when you have a government who is confused with the laws or an executive that is confused with the laws because I'm very clear.

Cultural competence and experience that our nonprofit partners hold.
6:08:21
So I appreciate that and certainly a recognition of the ground always responds much quicker than the government does.

And we've gotta be able to empower folks to be able to do that, particularly in a time such as this.
