The Big City Mayors coalition includes Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, San Francisco Mayor London Breed and nine others. Led by Liccardo, the coalition wants Newsom to allocate $4 billion a year in a five-year investment to address homelessness during this year’s budget cycle.

On this Earth Day, April 22, 2020, more than 120 fired up Hunters Point and Treasure Island residents and supporters gathered in front of San Francisco City Hall to call for real environmental and social change that comes from the people in the wake of complete disinvestment and neglect of our Black communities by city leaders.

Pharmacy technician Synclaire Anderson vaccinates Joe Freed with a Johnson & Johnson shot at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis. With a green light from federal health officials, several states now have resumed use of the one-shot coronavirus vaccine.
Two days after federal regulators lifted the temporary nationwide pause on administering Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, UCSF on Sunday reported the first known case of a male in the United States developing a clot after receiving the shot.
All 15 similar cases the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had learned about and examined after they emerged from about 7 million Johnson & Johnson shots administered involved women who developed rare blood clots after their vaccinations.
SF Mayor London Breed Names City Attorney Dennis Herrera to Lead Public Utilities Commission
After a scandal-plagued year at City Hall, San Francisco Mayor London Breed is going with a familiar name and face for her nomination for the next general manager of the SF Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC): City Attorney Dennis Herrera.
Breed is tapping Herrera for the job four months after the late November indictment of former SFPUC general manager Harlan Kelly, following which he resigned from his post. Kelly was accused of accepting a bribe from permit expeditor Walter Wong, who was himself charged in the wide-ranging corruption probe by federal authorities and Kelly s wife, Naomi Kelly, would ultimately resign from her role as city administrator as well, though she has not been charged by the feds.
