Murphy issues April proclamations for Sexual Assault Awareness Prevention and Earth Day
Summary
Council read proclamations declaring April 2025 as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and as Earth Day in Murphy, highlighting local events and community outreach.
At its April 1 meeting the Murphy City Council read two proclamations: one designating April 2025 as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and another recognizing Earth Day and local sustainability activities.
Mayor Pro Tem Elizabeth Abraham read the proclamation for Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month on behalf of Mayor Scott Bradley and called attention to local resources and Turning Point Crisis Center of Collin County's outreach. The proclamation emphasized consent education and invited residents to a Turning Point event over the weekend; Abraham read the proclamation language noting the April theme "blossoming beyond" and described a Turning Point public event scheduled for April 5 at the Art Center of Clayton from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Council Member Laura Diehl read the Earth Day proclamation, citing Earth Day's April 22 commemoration and noting the city's annual Clean and Green community event scheduled for Saturday, April 12. Diehl urged actions such as reducing plastic consumption, planting trees, recycling and conserving energy and water.
Both proclamations were ceremonial recognitions; no council votes were required. City staff and council encouraged resident participation in the listed community events and resources.
