In light of that i would like to say in each one of us there is a piece of humaneness which orchestrates crisis.

Good afternoon, supervisor. I am with bright line defense in support of this initiative. The fact there are offices of Racial Equity in cities across the country shows San Francisco can do better to address the injustices communities face every day. We recognize this is not a definite solution, this is a step . The right direction. Requiring action plans would be crucial to ensuring the city departments are accountable. Thank you for having this important hearing today. Hello. I am calalo. I am a youth leader. I believe did office of Racial Equity should be passed by the board to help with unjustice toward people of color. We will pro actively protect people of color instead of acting retro actively. Racism still exists. With the help of this project, we can hold those in power accountable. Thank you. I am jessica mallena. I am a youth leader. I support the office of Racial Equity because of my educational work experience, and i have witnessed the Racial Disparities that still exist.

We are glad to see creation of the offers of Racial Equity in the Human Rights Commission. Our work centers around bringing Racial Equity to the schools and making sure the schools are equitable. We hope this is something the board will grow upon and figure out how to address Racial Equity in the city. Looking beyond the things you have direct control over and figuring how to impact the School District in the region to bring equity to the people who have been displaced from San Francisco but still have roots here. Thank you. I would like to thank the supervisors for their time. Good afternoon. I am barbara. I am the director of Community Investments for the San Francisco arts commission. I want to lend support for the creation of the office and applaud the effort. I am a member of the local American Community and this is essential to ensure our data is fully represented.

We are number 10 in the nation for missing indigenous women. I look forward to working with and supporting the launch of this office. Thank you. We have a draft action plan. We aim to have the first phase by the end of this year and the second by next year after we do community engagement. We have been doing this for the last few years.

It is a long road to correct disparities but we are grateful that this will henr help the woe are doing. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I am bailey. I work for the District Attorney office. While working there my coworker called me a scary nigger. I am going to say what they called me a scary nigger. After being called that i was harassed daily.

After my press conference this is what your city hr put on the news. We acknowledge the n word one comment is not sufficient to create an abusive work environment. I will tell you wha how i was treated. That is exactly how i was treated. Mr. Callahan sent me a letter and wouldnt investigate. I am out of a job now. I was hoping they approve my retirement disability. I suffer with sharp pains. Chair mar speakers time has concluded. Next speaker, please. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am wanda slaughter.

I was a good employee. The intimidation and all of the everything that took place. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Race equity is not gods work to establish quota systems for the pity of nonwhite people it is about balancing the quote take system of whiteness, it was a system developed and contrived through racially biased laws and practices and policies for white men initially and white people overall. Some examples are the system in 1619 through 177 to provide a white man with 50acres of land. Homestead acts from 1862 to 1976 that allowed white men and women to complete applications and receive allotments of 160acres of public land. 320acres land through the homestead act. Next speaker, please. 640acres land. 270acres of land was provided. It was for free because of the race. To Institute White only causes that didymia federal loan guarantees for black people. This set up red lining in the 1960s which these worked in concert until 1977 under the reinvestment act to advance the advantages for the white race. Next speaker, please. The law of 1664 was that all negroes would serve hard labor for life. The casua killing lack would noa felony under the presumption that one would not intentionally destroy their own property. Do you want to use the balance of your 30 seconds . We will start the clock over. Last year our Commission Adopted a resolution codifying the commitment and establishing the Racial Equity initiative. We look forward to continuing to grow with other city agencies under the leadership. Thank you. Good afternoon, i am jessie, the Program Manager for community united.

I support the legislation and what i want to talk about is that one minute. You all need to stop that. I remember when supervisors would have to take a break and dinner break. I know that is inconvenience, but if anyone is going to be inconvenienced, it shouldnt be the people it should be the servants of the peopl people who should be inconvenienced. I would not be foolish enough to say anything important about racism in one minute. And then to cut people off mid sentence only speaks to the frustration that people of color feel living in a racist society. It ex asser bases it, increases it. You need to it would be better to bring us to say everybody support it stand up and everybody that doesnt sit down and you can go home and take care of your business. My given name is patricia and farrell. I have a legal name. I dont know what to think. My parents in 1948 were the first interracial couple to be married in the San Francisco county history if not the united states. He was negro, she was a white woman. I havent heard anyone say anything about inter race, there are many people who dont know their races. There needs to be education on all sides. Everybody has been separate for whatever race that they represent. I put decline to state. I want to say i know the group of people in the 1940s who came to San Francisco because it was different and they wanted to enter. Chair mar thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am victoria stafford. While our ons is excited to see the city take a long overdue step. The creation of the office would not be a beginning a continuation of work towards Racial Justice present for generations. Do not let this let you lose momentum and i urge you to take the lead from the community from the voices you have heard today. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. I am here representing the office of economic and work force development. I was in the coal heard three years ago. Thank you human rights for your leadership. Thank you, supervisors, for considering the ordinance. This is important work to be in place a long time ago. I think or i will say the charge to the legislator to make the decision from a place that is often disconnected from people of color and the issues they face. I will charge you to have deference to the people and people who are your staff who are actually working on the ground with people of color who see first hand the racism and discrimination they face on a daily basis. I think supervisors you should take the training to understand the veracity of racism. The partnership with the community and the legislators. Chair mar thank you. Any other members of the public who wish to speak . Please step forward. An old friend of mine set on the board of the central bank. Provided me the policies of state. Government supporters and detractors of the industry and the general public compete for limited resources in spite of the rhetoric to the contrary. Those City Employees complaining before the Budget Finance Committee a few weeks ago regarding a proposed policy of job elimination through attrition at the City Housing Authority were directing the comments to budget finance chair fewer as he was not only the prime mover of the targeted cuts disproportionately affecting black americans the funds from 3 million to 1 million. The budget chair as well recently blocked. Supervisor fewer any more speakers during Public Comment . Public comment is closed. Now, i want to invite ms. Campbell from the Budget Office to provide a brief Economic Impact presentation. Good afternoon. The main thing i would report on the difference in what is said today is that the legislation does require a minimum of five staff for the office of Racial Equity. There were four positions that were introduced to the budget before the board of supervisors. Three in 1920 and one in 2021. There would be one position requested by the Human Rights Commission for the 2021 budget. We consider approval for the board of supervisors.
