 Catch up and get ahead with the edge for the week of June 13th. A city council budget proposal would cut $1.3 million from agencies who provide safety net services, including for domestic violence, and use that money to expand workforce development. Mayor Ivy Taylor supports the reallocation. I would say that I think the way we currently have the investment categories make sense because I don't think we should keep making investments year after year just to see a continued increase. Here's what could be cut. Money for trained advocates to support victims of rape and abuse during their sexual assault forensics exam. And money to pay for 24-hour crisis intervention services at the Battered Women and Children's Shelter. District 8 Councilman Nirenberg says the cuts are a big mistake. Antonio Barrick County area is number one or number two in domestic violence and child abuse and neglect and childhood deaths. And I think that the fact that we're now taking a million dollars out of that pot of money that's going to agencies that are already taxed for resources and manpower and facility space. We have, you know, for instance, the Battered Women Shelter takes in an average of 70 cases a day. And that fluctuates, obviously. I just heard that today they had on.

Inside the moment of one of America's greatest tragedies, local transgender comedian Joan Riviera had one piece of advice. Fear overcome the day. Love, joy, peace. Be yourself. Be true to yourself.

San Antonio community members, including civic leaders, LGBT leaders and their allies, organized a vigil in Crockett Park just hours after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

We recently had a conversation with Desmond Alexander from the Texas Hunger Initiative about ways her organization is trying to end hunger through community organizing and community development. Right now, the group's focus is helping more children get access to free summer meals. Right now, according to Feeding Texas, the participation, particularly along kids identified as food insecure in Bear County in summer meals is about 9%. What does that mean? Of the kids that have been identified as food insecure, and of that there's about 120,000 that, according to Feeding America, have been identified as food insecure within Bear County, only about 9% of those kids are participating in any kind of summer meal program. To find summer food site, you can use Nelcast SA's map or text F-O-O-D-T-X to 877-877. If you want to launch and staff a new site, contact the Texas Hunger Initiative at TexasHunger.org and they'll connect you.
