And just so you know, a couple weeks ago, I introduced a bill at the city level where and it obviously there's a whole host of funding we need to pour into actual concrete programs, but we actually worked on a bill to introduce legislation that would require posters at nail salons, hair salons, to let folks know that for domestic violence and gender based violence, these are the resources that you can go to, and so hopefully you guys are on that list, but we do want to bring that to the community and where women can go just in case in different languages especially, but in case they need help to learn where to go.
