Hi everybody, Kurt Schrader
here. it's abundantly clear the

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,520
coronavirus pandemic, the
subsequent economic downturn,

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,400
and now recovery from
devastating wildfires have

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,720
continued to hit families
throughout Clackamas County

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,800
very very hard. These hardships can
lead to drastic increases in

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,280
violence, abuse and neglect of
vulnerable children and youth.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,840
We need to take some bold steps
to protect kids in our

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120
communities and assure that
every child has the support

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,040
when they need it most. That's
why I support the Clackamas

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,600
Children's Safety Levy, a
measure that will create a

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,520
dedicated source of funding for
critical safety features for

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,760
kids and youth delivered by
trusted local organizations.

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,760
Please join me in voting yes
on measure 3-564 this

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,920
November, so we can
meaningfully address the

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,880
critical need for childhood
trauma intervention and support

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,040
services right here in
Clackamas County.
