We are doing this not just for those who have suffered, but also for those who continue to deal with the effects of broken families and trauma, and for our future generations,” said Gamila Abdelhahim. “We now turn to all other City Council representatives and ask them to acknowledge the harm that has been caused, be in this monumental moment with us, and vote to lift our future generations.”
