Federal government gets the count right, so weve created count sf to motivate all sf count to motivate all citizens to participate in the census. For the immigrant community, a lot of people arent sure whether they should take part, whether this is something for u. S. Citizens or whether its something for anybody whos in the yUnited States, and it is something for everybody. Census counts the entire population. Weve given out 2 million to over 30 communitybased organizations to help people do the census in the communities where they live and work. Weve also partnered with the Public Libraries here in the city and also the Public Schools to make sure there are informational materials to make sure the folks do the census at those sites, as well, and weve initiated a campaign to motivate the citizens and make sure they participate in census 2020.

I did meet with supervisor moore a couple weeks ago and he asked to meet with me because when i first met him i said you should take the reigns and show sacramento that we are doing something. But i said to him two weeks ago we need to be careful that if you do things that there is some type of protection that we dont do something and then all of a sudden something rolls over us and everything that we did actually was more not because now theres some new mandate out of sacramento. We spent weeks years, on the market octavia plan. We designed it, 45 feet in the middle of the block, 55 feet at the end of the block. Got 85 feet in the middle of the block now.
