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. Chair mar colleagues, any additional comments or questions . Supervisor brown . Commissioner brown thank you. I want to thank everyone for coming today and your time. I know the one minute is hard. We could be here for hours talking about this. I just also want to say this legislation isnt perfect. It is something that we are going to have to work on. I have to say, you know, from my years as legislative aid here and working on Affordable Housing and now as supervisor, the action that we take to address the Racial Equity in policy or Funding Priorities is really a gut feeling when we would do it. We would say this needs funded, this policy needs to be passed. A lot of times we didnt have the data to say is this really working. I think that was frustration for all of us doing this work. It was frustrating. The things we thought were great and would make a difference did not. I feel it is really important this offers of Racial Equity that they can actually shine the light and really get in deep and find out what do we need to do as policymakers and when we are doing the budgets . They are going to do that with the community, the Larger Community is actually going to be helping with this. It is not a few people that talk to us as policymakers. This will be a Larger Community process which i think is really important when we move forward because it is the community, you, that are really going to guide a lot of this work. I just want to thank both supervisor few errand mayor breed because when we were looking at budget and really fighting for these positions to put into Human Rights Commission, it was one of those times where everybody came forward to say, yes, this is important. This is probably some of the most important legislation that we could do. I just really appreciate everybody coming. Lets get the data to make the best decisions we can and policy and funding and also accountability. I herd that. I heard that. We have to make sure that is on the front of the list as we move forward. Lets get this work done. Thank you. Supervisor fewer. Supervisor fewer thank you, chair. I want to thank everyone for sharing your opinions with us today. We heard about account ability. Hearing after hearing, report after report nothing had been done. It was imperative to take the first step. This is a concrete step in the right direction. I want to thank the members of the committee for the special meeting. I want to thank supervisor mar for holding this hearing. It is a special meeting. I want to apologize for the one minute. I know it is short. I have been on the other side of the podium as a Community Organizer for many years. We were going to lose quorum we felt imperative to do the one minute. Our apologies. Supervisor brown and i are temporary stewards of the city and county of San Francisco. This work will go on after we are not here. We depend on you who showed up today who want accountability. It is not just going to be on us or on the office of hrc. It is on all of us not to forget this and to work on it. We feel like with this office we have laid a foundation for that work. Without it we felt as though any testimony you give could not have the teeth unless we had this foundation of this office. Lets work hard to make it successful. I hope my colleagues pass it unanimously to show they also agree it is time in the city and county of San Francisco that we address Racial Disparities in a very concrete way and also look to this office to give us recommendations on closing this gap to make everyone successful in San Francisco. Thank you for joining us today and thank you for holding this hearing. I greatly appreciate it. I want to say in the meantime as we work towards this, what are you going to do . Chair mar Public Comment has concluded for this item. We can continue this discussion. Can you sit down with black workers to tell us how you are going to make us whole . Chair mar is there a motion for this item. Supervisor brown. Commissioner brown let me just move forward. We have subsequent amendments. I have the motion to continue this. I want to do that. I am going to we can talk. I definitely. Can i just finish . This is rule of order. What we are going to do for the amendments. We all have a copy and i think that our colleagues know that the underlying portion or amendments. There are quite a few amendments here. I believe they are substantive. It must be continued. Is there a motion to accept the amendments . Is that the motion . Accept the amendments. So moved. Can we continue this item to the next meeting . Governmengovernment audits ad oversights meets july 18th. Can we continue this to july 18th . So moved. Thank you so much. Mr. Clerk, please call item number two. Item twoard nance to prohibit city funded travel to statessen accounted laws that prohibit abortion and City Contracting with companies headquartered in states enacting such laws or work to be performed in such states making technical amendments regarding this ban which apply to the existing ban on city funded travel based on sexual orientation. Mr. Chair. Chair mar can everyone please take the conversation to the hallway we are moving to item two. Supervisor brown. Commissioner brown thank you, colleagues. I am pleased to limit the city and county of San Francisco from contracting in and restricting city funded travel to states that pass abortion bans. I want to thank 10 cosponsors for support. I hope we can take a meaningful stand against states rolling back access to abortion care. I want to thank the city administrator, planned parenthood and department of status of women for collaboration. This is drafted in the spirit of chapter x ordinance article one of chapter 12a places a ban on city funded travel and city contracts with states passing antilgbt laws. I am grateful for the leaders for paving the way. Today we are adding a second article to the existing code chapter to expand existing ordinance to states that waged war on the constitutional protected rights to an abortion. Article two of chapter 12x will mandate no sponsoring or reimburse meant to city fund travel to any staten acing a law for abortion prior to viability. No contracts to require the dent of status to women to device a list of abortion covered states and submit the list to the city administrator and City Attorneys every six months. It require the controller generates an Economic Impact report of this article in three years. Lastly, as a reminder to everyone, chapter 12x including waivers for emergency services, sole source contracts, no qualified bidders, Public Health and safety and bulk purchasing and grant agreements. The article we are discussing today does the same. I would like to call up two presenters to provide more context to the legislation. First is elizabeth mu nan, policy and project director on the status of women. You have three minutes. Thank you, supervisors. Abortion is a basic part every productive healthcaretr healthc. The access to save legal abortions coincided with significant increases in education and wage gains. Since january state legislators across the country enacted 60 new abortion restrictions, 26 would ban abortions in all or some cases. I want to be clear these do not limit womens freedom they put people who can get pregnant lives at stake. They make abortions more dangerous when they are restricted people may seek unsafe ways to end pregnancy. Every year 47,000 women in the world unnecessarily die from complications related to abortion. U. S. Has the highest mortality rate of any developed nation and these states have higher rates of maternal and infant mortality compared to the nation. We applaud supervisor brown for continuing the San Francisco legacy saying we will not spend dollars where peoples lives and Economic Security are threatened. We worked with her office and her aid to help develop this legislation and prioritize the rights and bodily autonomy of women and intersex people in the country. The department on the status of women welcome this policy by identifying states with the abortion laws and making the suggestions regularly. We have identified 20 states thatten abilitied a ban enacted a ban. It adds an additional 11 states. In accordance with the landmark ordinance to commit the city to ensure the womens social and political equality the Commission Support this to make real our commitment to the right to abortion. Thank you. I would like to call up laura babb from planned parenthood. Hi. I am with planned parenthood. I want to thank the staff and supporters as well as all of you. We have seen a rash extreme abortion babbs sweep the country to bring a challenge to the Supreme Court to make abortion inaccessible. Judicial fights have begun around the country. Over states limiting safe legal abortion prior to viability of the fetus. This is not just an attack in missouri and georgia. It is on anyone who can get pregnant. One out of three women live in those states. That is 25 million. That is signaling in San Francisco we will not tolerate a rollback of womens whites. With trump and kavanaugh thousand is the time to meet the legal precise dense and take a standing on the harmful policies. The attack will continue. Abortion is on the line. It is critical to begin the fight for rights by standing up to the bans. The c. E. O. Of 180 companies are calling for the end of abortion ban. Up the opportunity to do the right thing. Something elective leaders in states with the harmful bans have fail to do. I ask you to vote yes to seek to ban travel and do business on states with the abortion bans. Thank you for considering this effort in this great city and county. I would like to h thank our presenters. City attorney can you clarify changes to chapter 12x with this, please . Sure. Deputy City Attorney john gibner. The ordinance proposed to make some modifications to chapter 12x. I believe working with the city administrator to make some technical changes. The amendment today removed those changes so that 12x, the existing law that applies to states with laws that discriminate against lbgq people will remain. This does not change 12x. This adds on a mirror provision, a new article that applies to additional states as has been described. Thank you. We are going to go to Public Comment. Are there members of the public to speak on this . You have one minute to speak given the time constraints for the hearing. Please step up to the microphone. Mr. Right. This is a complex issue. 50 agrees and 50 does not. About one minute is discrimination in the administration right here before me. You it is up there and let other people speak as long as they want when your race is being represented. I get to speak for two minutes. That is an insult on my intelligence. You only give us one minute. Thathat is disgusting. You referring to the City Attorney you never referred nothing to the City Attorney about blacks being discriminated against. We are recovered from the gentrification that is a bull shit lie. Our race is diminishing if you say we are recovering when our numbers is 2 or 3 is insult on my intelligence and i dont appreciate that. Chair mar next speaker, please. I am the planned Parent Affairs officer. We have seen constant attacks on the reproductive healthcare, the title 10 restrictions, domestic gag rule, appointment of kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. We have had the opportunity to work with the board of supervisors to pass resolutions confirming the San Francisco commitment for reproductive health. We urge you to support this today to ensure the passage. I am susan anthony. I am a planned parenthood supporter and mother and grandmother. My passion for womans right to bodily autonomy is rooted in my experience 50 years ago. I became pregnant when it was not legal to have the abortion. The other or i experienced may be hard for younger women to imagine today. The thought of carrying the pregnancy was horrific. It would not matter if they offered diapers or showed me fetuses. The idea of giving up the baby was horrific. I was ready to risk my wife to prevent having a bab baby. Abortions bans extreme will only lead to more deaths for women and assign more infants to a live not wanted or welcomed. Thanks. Chair mar next speaker, please. Hello. My name is karen. I am a clinical socia social wor working with adolescents and with abusesive and neglectful parents. They are intertwined in many ways. Studies have shown that unintended pregnancies can be a predictor of Child Maltreatment psychological and physical aggression. The number of children having school difficulties and the number of people in prison also have high rates of having experienced abuse often times because their mothers had unintended pregnancies. I support the proposed ban that we are considering here. Money talks. Chair mar thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. I am the president of our planned parenthood campus chapter at San Francisco state. During the past year it has allowed me to give back to my San Francisco community and San Francisco state. Working out of the Health Center allowed me in the rup loop. It has resulted in harmful abortion bans limiting access to abortions for most vulnerable. We must take a stand. San francisco tax dollars should not support states passing laws to oppress people. You will consider this. I strongly urge you to vote yes today. When it comes before the full board of supervisors. I hope
