[LINH THAI] To me, it's a communication.
Right?
When they tag something,
they're trying to communicate something.
When we cover it
back up,
we're also communicate
something back to them.
If you don't have that back and forth,
you're not going to respect each other.
There's no respect.
If one was simply to give up a fight
so easily.
We've got to earn that respect.
You earn that respect by coming back.
[MAYOR BRUCE HARRELL] So our One Day of Service
is a sign of things to come
because I want people
to have an entry point
on taking ownership of their own city.
What we're going to do is we'll show
the leadership,
we'll put
resources behind and create
a sense of Seattle camaraderie
in the process.
Many hands.
[QUYNH PHAM] Many of these challenges
take more than one
individual and one entity.
We all have to come together
to do something,
and we're excited
to see that action continue
with this One Day of Service.
We're very excited
to be part of the kickoff today
and also want to see that
this One Day of Service, it's
not just one day.
We want the commitment from the city
and our community
to continue this work together.
[MAYOR BRUCE HARRELL] And I just believe that,
you know, government
will never be able to do it
all on their own.
And I think a good leader
and a good administration
will pave the way and let others
lead as well.
[LINH THAI] It's not about me
and it's not about them.
It's about the business owners here.
It's about the rest of the community.
It's once they stop,
to me,
it's telling me that they respect me now.
They respect the owner,
they respect the place now.
And they're willing to say, okay,
we'll stop here, you know
and to me that is the prize.
That is the end game.
And I'll go and we'll go as far
and as long as possible
to communicate that respect message.
