Hello, supervisors. We have seen a dramatic increase in inhabited r. V. S moving into our neighborhood. Who we have a few People Living in vans on this block, theyre always quiet, friendly, we would have them over for holidays and we would pay them to do all jobs around the neighborhood. Where whether as one or two vans, there is now 20 inhabited vehicles and trailers, debris, feces, needles, water, wastewater, dumping, and blocking of the sidewalk. At the moment there is a drug operation right across the street from my home. At night there are a group of eight cars that come out and park on the sidewalks all night. They blast music and sell drugs. That attracts other cars are outside of our community to drive through the main purchases there is a constant flow of traffic, loud music, altercations and gas and Power Generators making noise all night from about 10 00 p. M. Until 8 00 a. M. We have asked the People Living in the r. V. S and cars to keep the noise down, but it is only getting worse and there were more people yelling and fighting at all hours of the night. The music is so loud and our children cannot sleep. We have had to move them to sleep on the other side of the house to lessen the noise at night. There are some new cars and debris blocking the sidewalk. We now have to go around the corner with our strollers. We have been using a nonemergency. You can have your own two minutes. Thank you so much. I will reset the clock for you. I appreciate that. We have been using the not Urgent Police line on multiple times for multiple weeks, and sometimes we have to call multiple times and nights. We have yet to have a patrol car come to check it out. There are people who have been unsafe with drug use, they have filed numerous 311 request online we have never heard regarding our calls and request which has brought us here today. Five years ago we had a bullet go through our house. Our older sons exterior belgium bedroom wall, and it ended up in our living room. With a the new escalation of drug activity, we fear this could happen again or worse. Here is what we need and what we humbly request your help with. One, we want the r. V. S moved out and signs to be put up prohibiting camping in the neighborhood and we immediately asked that the r. V. S on the 1500 block move between from between our streets to at least around the corner outside of the residential part of our neighborhood to a street that is more industrial so we can have enough sleep and function and work, and kids can go to school, and three we want the noise ordinance and forced noise ordinance and forced. I am a musician, and i make a loud music for a living, but there is a time into place for it. A neighborhood where theres working families were trying to sleep and go to school, there is a time and place for loud music. We really appreciate this. Thank you. My name is bruce. I have moved into a senior apartment a year ago. I have a studio apartment and an embarrassment of riches. I stayed in shelters a great deal of my life, but i have to tell you, theres still people that are out on the street. We actually need more shelters. It is cheaper to put people at my place, i could put half a dozen people in their. I think there are there is the agreed ethic and the elitist ethic. There are people who are trying to get either people in s. R. O. Places or out on the street and they dont have anything in between. We need that. We desperately need shelters because theres not enough room for everybody. As well as private shelters as well as public. We need to get people out of tense if they want to get out of tense and put them in places. We need at least warehouses for people. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Board of supervisors, my name is john. I am an attorney and a member of direct action everywhere which was one of five organizations that reached out to mayor breed and this body during the recess to ask for your support for a bill of rights for nonhuman animals. We did so because what happens to nonhuman animals in the bay area, as well as everywhere is an atrocity, and i use that word because this is not an issue around which much rhetorical clarity exists. Governments and Industries Use terms like humanely raised and Animal Welfare standards to reinforce the idea that there is a right way to inflict violence on other beings, but when the we shed our cultural conditioning and we step back and objectively look at the facts that billions of animals are just as smart, just as emotive as our dogs and cats are being confined and mutilated and killed, the degree to which reality and our values diverge becomes apparent. I would encourage everyone here, as well as your staff, to look at documentaries like earthlings , or dominion, on the investigations and rescues of direct action everywhere to get a real sense of what is going on we are approaching this body because San Francisco has always been at the forefront of social causes that soon became adopted everywhere, including the Disability Rights Movement and marriage equality, and including the Animal Rights movement. We worked closely with katy tang last year to make San Francisco the first city in the whole world to ban the sale of fair, and now cities everywhere are starting to adopt similar bands. Thank you. Next speaker. Hi, good afternoon. I have made that mulch was drive today from reno, nevada. On august 24th, my vehicle was burglarized at Mission Street in a parking lot. I am a nevada resident, so my life is in nevada. My vehicle, that day in broad daylight, at 3 30 p. M. , they got into my car and took everything under the sun that i had owned. I lost over 55,000 worth of stuff, including my wedding ring i implore all of you, board of supervisors, where you guys know that this is an imminent and a prevalent issue in your city to make this a safer city for People Like Us who are travelling. This is not time not the first time my vehicle was burglarized. In 2012, the same thing happens. I should not be coming into the city and removing my belongings and valuables just so i can go and shop into safeway at 3 30 p. M. In the afternoon. It is not fair, nor is it right. I also an challenging your separation of power, like you went ahead and said, that come together and do something about this, police because last month, august long, you had 2,153 burglaries that have only been reported. That is 59 averaging even one day. It is not safe, it is not okay. This is not acceptable. I understand that you guys have a lot on your agenda and there are a lot of things that need to be done but this is not safe and it is not okay for this to happen. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. I am a member of s. O. S. Nicaragua San Francisco. We are a social Political Organization based in the bay area. We came together last year in april of 2018 because of the repression by the ortega dictatorship that is going on in nicaragua, and we do several events. We have an ongoing purchase every friday at 21st street. We have a speaker coming next week from nicaragua who is a political prisoner and a leader in the Prison Movement and my friend will speak more on that. Thank you. Thank you for your time. We will be having [speaking spanish] the national leader, the worker with nicaragua which is similar to what to watch they were doing here. Protecting the rights of farmworkers. In nicaragua at the moment, the crisis that is happening is already being suffered here in the San Francisco bay area. We are having many people come into the San Francisco bay area due to the humanitarian crisis. At the moment, i hear that it has to do with land rights. It has to do with human rights, and [indiscernible] he will be stopping by here to provide a conference in the San Francisco bay area, which all of you are invited. I encourage you to be, if you cannot make it, send one of your representatives to represent you in this conference. We really need the San Francisco supervisors to understand that they limit the nicaraguan community. Thank you. For more information, youll be receiving a letter in your offices with more information on how to rsvp for this event. Thank you. Thank you. Im also a member of the group. I really appreciate that we can have the time to address you in this regard, but it is so important for the nicaraguan american community. Thank you for your support in the future. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon. Welcome back to reality. My name is matt sutter. Im here speaking on behalf of [indiscernible] it is pretty upsetting, guys. We have big problems going on here. I am here today to speak because i refuse to be reticent. I want to remind you what it means to be self expressed and come back to the truth of who we are. You should all ask yourselves, why are we working in this career, which we have chosen, and then examine how your decisions are affecting people and their families. We have been pleading with you to help us and make an important and necessary decision to buy back our medallions now. And also, in return, i believe we deserve a chance to have a nontransferable medallion. The pain and suffering that we have gone through and a couple meetings ago, supervisor walton pointed out, although unfortunately after you had made a decision to push the vote on the homeless issue to march. He said, and i will quote, i dont see the word delay with crisis. We are in a crisis. It is time to step up like i have been asking you guys. We need some answers. Thank you. Thank you. August, a period of recognition. One from marijuana, a slang, to cannabis. Something that gives it a little bit more respect because it has been medicinal for thousands of years. Hookers and prostitutes now are sex workers. Lets give them a little bit more dignity. When i was in grade school, that started the fall of rome. I couldnt understand it but it was basically incompetence and the emperors. Here we are in the United States of america, moving on up. Trumps words inspire killings, inspire people to pull guns and shoot. That leads to the assault weapon semiautomatic his, they need to be banned. I have come to this just in the past month, useless, worthless in our society. It is time to bend them completely. Directv, the last three months, my television hasnt had channel four or channel five. If you have a local station in your area that is broadcast and given to you over directv or any other sport cast supplier, they should not be able to ban a local news station ever. We have enough problems trying to get as little news as we can. Distributors should not be able to ban our local t. V. Networks. Inc. You. Okay. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Okay, madame clerk, please call the for adoption without committee agenda. Items 2323 out of order not out of order. Items 2323 were introduced for adoption without reference to committee, unanimous vote is required for a resolution on First Reading today. Alternatively a member may require a resolution to go to committee. Would any of my colleagues like to sever any items . Supervisor stefani . Item 20. Item 23 . Twenty. I would like to sever item 23 okay. Thank you. On the remaining balance of items, please call the role please call roll call. [roll call] there are 11 aye. Okay. Items 20 and 21 passes. Twenty and 22. Mr. President , 21 and 23 were approved today, were adopted. Okay. Correct. Supervisor stefani wanted to sever item 20. Item 20 is a resolution to declare that the National Rifle association is a Domestic Terrorist Organization and urging other cities, states, in the federal government to do the same. Supervisor stefani . Thank you. Colleagues, i know that you know i introduced this after the mass shooting at the gilroy festival, being outraged just by that shooting, since we have been on recess. We have seen more carnage across this country. Mass shootings in el paso, texas , where an individual filled with hate and racism targeted our latin x. Community, armed with an ak47 Assault Rifle with extra magazines. He killed 22 people and injured many more. Hours later, in dayton, ohio, nine dead and in 302 seconds and 22 injured. This person was armed with an a. R. 15 pistol fitted with an extended magazine that can hold 100 rounds. This weekend in odessa, texas, seven people were killed by a gunman, 22 others were injured, with 15 different crime scenes, as the individual, it was banned from owning a firearm, purchase one from a private seller because no background check was required. The n. R. A. Has done more to graduate and create the gun violence epidemic terrorizing our country. They buy off politicians, that gun violence legislation, prevent Gun Violence Research and tell us and everybody that it is video games, movies, mental illness, every country on this earth is exposed to these issue and influenced in equal measure yet only in the United States faced this mass gun violence. The difference is guns. None of our. Countries have Assault Rifles on their streets. The homicide rate in the United States is 25 times higher than any other high income country in the world. The n. R. A. Want you to believe that the solution to gun violence is more gun ownership. We have a gun ownership rate two times higher than that of any other country in the world. There are 393 million guns in this country which means there are more guns than people and we know if more guns meant more safety, then america would be the safest country in the world. The n. R. A. Exists to ask to spread information and puts weapons in the hands of those who would harm and terrorize us by blocking commonsense, gun violence prevention legislation, and by advocating for dangerous legislation like stand your ground laws, permit list carry and guns and schools from kindergarten on up through university. When they use phrases like i will give you my gun and you pry it from a cold, dead hands on bumper stickers, they are saying , there is debate about Public Safety that should be met with the violence. When they hold and National Conferences and expeditions, they aim to intimidate those who have already been terrorized and knowingly threaten anyone who would organize against the financial interest. The n. R. A. Conspires to limit Gun Violence Research, with strict gun violence data sharing , and most importantly, aggressively trying to block every piece of sensible gun violence prevention legislation proposed on any level, local, state, or federal. Over the recess, we had a rally on the steps of city hall, and i want to thank mayor breed and supervisors walton and brown for joining me. We held that rally to urge majority leaders of the senate, Mitch Mcconnell, to bring a background check bill to a vote in the senate. One that passed in the house. It has been sitting on his desk for over 200 days, and he refuses to bring it up for a vote. Had that passed, the gunman in odessa, texas, might have had a background check in the private sale. Mitch mcconnell refuses to bring that legislation up. Why . Because the n. R. A. Has given Mitch Mcconnell 1. 4 million, it is no surprise that he puts the n. R. A. s business over safety of our families and communities, and it is time this ends. The n. R. A. Stokes fear and promotes a culture of hate that is killing our fellow americans. They are misogynists who are fine with arming domestic abusers, even knowing 92 of all women killed with guns in high income countries, 92 in 2015 were from the u. S. In an average month, 52 american women are shot and killed by an intimate partner in this country and many more are injured. It is time to read this country at the n. R. A. And call them out for who they really are. They are a Domestic Terrorist Organization. I urge your support and i urge the support of every county in this state. Thank you. Okay, can we take this item same house, same call . Without objection, this resolution passes unanimously. Madame clerk, call item 302. Item 22 is a resolution to urge the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing to implement urgent policy changes to serve pregnant individuals, families living in single occupancy units are doubled up families and urging the department to pursue additional policy changes in coronation with the board of supervisors. Thank you. Colleagues, go ahead, you can speak first. We looked at this resolution at our last Board Meeting prior to the recess and i want to refresh our recollection because of the content. This urgent resolution catches the just of a certain urgent policy change under discussion between the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. Individuals struggling with homelessness and their representatives in the mayors office. These include policies that will help pregnant women to gain access to services and housing much earlier in their pregnancies than the third trimester which is the current situation. It helps to eliminate the difference in the definition of homelessness that the city utilizes versus the federal government, and the impacts on on house families and individuals as a result. Finally, it supports the continued dialogue about how we can address the homelessness crisis in our city, with a focus on developing and implementing best practices as situations and demograph
