The hon. London breed thank you. I am excited to be here. Thank you, cheryl lynn, and thank you to larkin street for all the work that you continue to do to support young people in San Francisco and huckaberry, im excited to have this organization as well as other organizations for partnering what we are announcing today, which is a 9. 3 million grant from the department of social services for the state of california, which is absolutely incredible. [applause] the hon. London breed this was a very competitive grant, and it was awarded to ten partnering organizations who helped to deal with the challenges that we know sadly so many of our young people face around Sexual Exploitation. In fact, in 2017 in San Francisco, we had over 300 reported cases from young people of Sexual Exploitation. And in most cases, they were women of color and women from our lgbtq community. We know that just last year, cheryl lynn and the folks from larkin street, we announced the rising up campaign where we are determined and committed to End Youth Homelessness in San Francisco, investing millions of dollars in providing the kinds of support and Wraparound Services that young people in order to get their lives on track. We know that all young people may not have that safety net, may not have that support. I did not have that support in my family. In fact, i was so lucky that i had a grandmother that took in my brothers and me and raised us. My grandmother was very strict, very focused, she determined to make sure she did everything she could to protect us. When young people dont have that safety net, when they dont have that support, when they dont have that protection, sadly, thats when they turn to predators and do things that they never thought theyd do. And this 9. 3 million grant allows us to provide services and housing, and to track and find out what we can do better to keep this from happening in the first place. So im excite todd to see how is going to change the lives of so money youany young people i city. We are well on our way to addressing so many challenges that we know we face one at a time. It takes dedicated partners, it takes dedicated public servants, it takes dedicated people from the Public Community who care about addressing these issues, and so i want to thank each and every one of you for being here today. This is an amazing, amazing grant, and i am looking forward to the implementation and changes that i know are going to come forward as a result of this funding. Thank you so much. [applause] the hon. London breed and with that, id like to introduce the director for the commission on the status of women, emily murase. [applaus [applause] commissioner murase thank you so much, mayor. I wanted to recognize the mayor for empowerment of youth and her focused commitment to housing individuals who are homeless. As you know, commercially sexually exploited children are mostly homeless. Its really one of the root causes of this problem, and now, its my great pleasure to introduce the executive director and founder of freedom forward, alia Whitney Johnson and doug styles, my second grade classmate and director of Huckleberry Youth Program. Please give them a warm welcome. [applause] good morning. Thank you, cheryl lynn for hosting us this morning, and thank you, mayor breed and commissioner murase for the work that you do on behalf of young people in our community. I realize that commercial Sexual Exploitation is a story of failures. Times that we have failed to meet young peoples needs, and these young people have taken their needs into their own hands. Times to fail to respond with compassion when they needed us has added to their story. But within this story is a story of incredible youth brilliances, a story of navigating the system, a hustle that is purposely resourceful, resilient. Knowledge that is absolutely critical if we want to build a vibrant, Healthy System that works for all. These are the voices that we are centering in this continuum. They deserve choices, and they deserve a system that works for them and a voice in what that system should be. By ensuring young people are a part of our design process, and that we build in feedback loops to honor their input, we believe we will build a more effective system of care for all. So what is this collaborative that were building and here today to announce . Through this grant, were bringing together 11 Community Partners to develop a continuum of services that we hope will meet youth where they are, recognizing that meaningful change is rarely linear and needs to meet youth when they are ready. This continuum includes five major components as well as a protocol for navigating those components and a rigorous evaluation. We hope to openly share our successes learned, and if effective, to replicate what works across the state. The five components of this continuum include first, a Dropin Center where youth will be able to Access Services under one roof whether or not they identify as being exploited or currently being housed in the continuum. Second, a launch pad shelter for youth transitioning from life on the streets or unsafe living situations. Third, a shortterm residential treatment program. Fourth, a new model of familybased foster care right here in their community with wraparound support. And finally, 247 response and emergency services. Family first will be leading the foster and family services. We a our role will be to facilitate and coordinate services from across our community, bringing the best our community has to offer, remaining accountable to what youth want. In early 2020, we also aim to launch our familybased foster care pilot. As many of you in this room now, problems in foster care often lead teams to being moved around teens to being moved around, isolated, surrounded by only professionals, far from loved ones and the people who they care most about. All of this instability and lock of connection makes an environment thats ripe for exploitation. We plan to pilot a new model of foster care that will provide Stable Family homes right here in their community and will wrap youth and families with both the professional support that they need as well as a real emphasis on the relationship with family and friends that youth want in their lives. This pilot will engage a great team of providers in what they do best, including family builders, west coast childrens clinic, Huckleberry Youth Programs, and this pilot will also include additional caregivers, who provide what grandmas do, like what mayor breed talked about, so often, aunties and grandmas show up to support our youth. As i step back and think about building a community where every young person can experience all that it means to be free, i want to end today with a quote from a young person who grew up right here in San Francisco and was interviewed by our friends at the elements freedom center. She said, freedom is when we reach back and pull the next sibling with us because we see your brilliance, and we know that you will shine when surrounded by real love. Let us pull each other with us, and let us all move forward with love as we move forward.

I was born here in San Francisco to a family of cellists, professional cellists, so i grew up surrounded by a bunch of musical rehearsals an lessons. All types of activities happened in my house. I began playing piano when i was 4. I really enjoyed musical activities in general. So when i was 10, i began studying violin in San Francisco. And from there, i pretty much never stopped and went on to study in college as well. Thats the only thing ive ever known is to have music playing all the time, whether it is someone actually playing next to you or someone listening to a recording. I think that i actually originally wanted to play flute and we didnt have a flute. Its always been a way of life. I didnt know that it could be any other way. Could you give me an e over here. Great. When you teach and youre seeing a student who has a problem, you have to think on your feet to solve that problem. And that same kind of of thinking that you do to fix it applies to your own practice as well. So if im teaching a student and they are having a hard time getting a certain note, they cant find the right note. And i have to think of a digestible way to explain it to them. Ee, d, d, e. Yes. Then, when i go on to do my own practice for a performance, those words are echoing back in my head. Okay. Why am i missing this . I just told somebody that they needed to do this. Maybe i should try the same thing. I feel a lot of pressure when im teaching young kids. You might think that there is less pressure if they are going on to study music or in college that it is more relaxing. I actually find that the opposite is true. If i know im sending a High School Student to some great music program, theyre going to get so much more instruction. What i have told them is only the beginning. If i am teaching a student who i know is going to completely change gears when they go to college and they never will pick up a violin again there is so much that i need to tell them. In plain violin, it is so difficult. There is so much more information to give. Every day i think, oh, my gosh. I havent gotten to this technique or we havent studies they meese and they have so much more to do. We only have 45 minutes a week. I have taught a few students in some capacity who has gone on to study music. That feels anaysing. It is incredible to watch how they grow. Somebody can make amazing project from you know, age 15 to 17 if they put their mind to it. I think i have 18 students now. These more than ive had in the past. Im hoping to build up more of a studio. There will be a pee ono, lots of bookshelves and lots of great music. The students will come to my house and take their lessons there. My schedule changes a lot on a daytoday basis and that kind of keeps it exciting. Think that music is just my favorite thing that there is, whether its listening to it or playing it or teaching it. All that really matters to me is that im surrounded by the sounds, so im going top keep doing what im doing to keep my life in that direction. Hi. Welcome to San Francisco. Stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. Lets look at common earthquake myths. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold weather or rain. Im not sure which is the myth. How about time of day . Yes. It happens when its least convenient. When it happens people say we were lucky and when they dont. Its terrible timing. Its never a good time for an earthquake. But we are going to have one. How about the ground swallowing people into the ground . Like the earth that collapsed . Its not like the tv shows. The earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but its not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. Its not going anywhere. We are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. Southern california is moving north. Its coming up from the south to the north. You would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. Maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. For better or worse. Yes. This is a tough question. Those other ones werent tough. This is a really easy challenge. Are the smaller ones less stress . Yes. The amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. I think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4. 7. So small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future . Not anyway that you can count on. I have heard that buildings in San Francisco are on rollers and isolated . Its not true. Its a conventional Foundation Like almost all the circumstances buildings in San Francisco. The transamerica was built way before. Its a pretty conventional foundation design. I have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. Is there anything of value to that . Yes, if you are in your room. You should drop, cover and hold onto something. If you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. If you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, its not a bad place to be. The reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. You are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. You are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. You want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. Where can i buy a Richter Scale . Mr. Richter is selling it. We are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. They are not available. Its a rather complex. In fact we dont even use the Richter Scale anymore. We use a moment magnitude. The Richter Scale was early technology. Probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage
