Thank you! Thank you very much Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Clearly here today, it is obvious that you command the respect of your community and when you put out the word, it happens. And here, as you said, we have the benefit of the intellectual resources of everything that has an effect on a child from maternity to law enforcement, protection against – moms, the Violence Against Women Act. Everything in between in terms of mental health and the rest. So it’s a very valuable, valuable presentation and I thank you for it because I came here to listen. To hear the community say what would really make the biggest difference.
