#A2Council for context: “An estimated five to ten million Russians perished in the Holocaust. Many were civilians killed by the SS death squads, especially if they were Jews, communists, or ethnic Slavs. Millions more were prisoners of war from the actual fighting” Reason/facts

Chicago has a Gender-based Violence Task Force. A model #A2council chicago.gov/city/en/depts/…

#a2council I’m a little disappointed in the non-response in this forum and by CM’s except Erica Briggs . 1) this isn’t just some white feminist thing. BIPOC, TG, and NB folks are disproportionately impacted. 2) I’m gathering help. This isn’t going to die on the vine.

#a2council Is this prevention or victims services? What would prevention look like? Should someone asking for a fence or street lighting be pushed to outside agencies? What happens when Delonis residents complain about another resident as a safety risk?

#a2council look! Funding!!! For initiatives addressing Gender Based Violence, services and prevention. justice.gov/ovw/grant-prog…

Another random physical assault on a young woman by a young man in downtown Ann Arbor during the day. A stranger— that’s unusual but not lately. #a2council clickondetroit.com/all-about-ann-…

Anyone at #a2council have more detail on the RFP for unarmed response team? Why are we not doing this as a city agency? Are there privatized social workers? I’m short on concept here I’m sure. I’d appreciate any info.

I regularly encounter people seeking short term housing. They are btw leases, in medical treatment, doing short projects at the university with family members in tow. Did we ever attempt to assess the actual demand for short term rentals before limiting them #a2council ?

#a2council. A2 is allowed to become a playground of drunk ppl w/explosives everywhere for this one day a year. I love fireworks. My dog isn’t afraid of them. I’m not afraid of them. Still this seems incredibly reckless. Please just do a city fireworks event/stop this nonsense.

DTE or no DTE, the reality is the energy reliability is going to get worse before it gets better. Yes, DTE is a terrible company long in need of public dope slapping. We also need to prepare for outages. Regular sustained outages. #a2council

Any politician or activist who tells you otherwise is short selling a crisis for a different agenda. I don’t know if it’s intentional … but it’s the wrong thing to do, even for the right reasons. #a2council Tell the people the truth. Ann Arbor for Public Power Jeff Irwin Yousef Rabhi

#a2council I remember neighborhood emergency cooling/warming and wi-if accessible centers being part of the adaptation piece of the city’s climate plan. I don’t see it in the current plan. Was it canned? The need seemed remote at the time. Less and less so every day. City of Ann Arbor
