Does my time start now or?

All right, cool.

Revolutionary Love.

Mayor, council members, city leadership, beautiful community.

My name is Kanaya Dawn Bay.

I'm a community violence intervention organizer for North Kalinas Against Gun Violence.

And I'm a proud Charlotte native who grew up in Steel Creek.

So gun violence is deeply personal to me.

I lost three neighborhood friends, Nate Rodriguez, Kali Holmes, and Anthony White to gun violence along with countless others.

I've been shot at, I've been robbed at gunpoint, I've witnessed gun violence firsthand in my own community.

Steel Creek knows this pain and I no longer want us to normalize it because this violence is not who we are.

That's why I want to thank the city for its 1.2 million annual investment in alternatives to violence.

This investment is producing real results.

This is some good news here.

In the Southwest, Charlotte, alternatives to violence have helped reduce violent crime by 25 to 28% since their finding in 2023.

In Beatty's Ford Corridor, ATV continues to create safer communities.

In this corridor alone, violence interrupters successfully prevented at least six potentially deadly conflicts.

Definitely some claps for that.

It's not easy.

It's not easy, not easy work at all.
