**Councilmember Rinck, on women's history:** "Women's history month is not about girl bossing. It's about claiming our place in history books, in a world that for too long said our stories, our work, our contributions are not worthy of the ink." **Esther Lucero, on indigenous women's leadership:** "There's a Cheyenne proverb that says our nation is not on the ground until the hearts of our women are on the ground. And I'll tell you, we're not, we're here. This nation isn't on the ground. And it's not until women take their rightful place in leadership as we're beginning to see on this council that we'll begin to heal, and we will begin to thrive." **Councilmember Kettle, on law enforcement standards:** "In times of crisis, it is very important to have clarity and purpose in moving forward to address the crisis, to address the uncertainty. In the uncertainty, it is important to be clear in one's values and our values as a city." **Anitra Freeman, on remembering the homeless:** "We stand because we care about every person. We stand because sometimes it's the only remembrance a person will have. We stand because everyone had meaning and love in their lives that should be celebrated and honored." **Public commenter on federal enforcement:** "There are real people and real houses, on real streets in real danger, and we need you to do your jobs to keep us safe. 609 days until the next general election, where most of you will be up, and we have long memories." **Councilmember Kettle, on Westlake development:** "This has come up in different ways. In a lot of ways, our city has a north-south orientation with I-5, with 99, and these pieces... we really need to work on those east-west connections."
