That trans i am so sick and tired about being confused as a transgender, and at least once a month, i get my ass beat like a man, and im sick of it. And most of the time, its by some male security that works for somebody, and like i tell them, you need to get a female. What we need is more females that are put in security positions so that when theyre interacting with a female, they can just say come on, maam. And i just had to do it today with lutheran social services, and im going to leave it at that because i feel like i have a relationship and an opendoor policy with some of you alls offices, but some of you need to get some candy. Thank you. President yee next speaker, please. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. My condolences to supervisor safai. I hope he rests in peace, your father. We sat down with kate teran.

My name isally geller from walk San Francisco and on behalf of walk San Francisco, we offer our condolences to supervisor safai. We are very grateful to the board of supervisors for taking a strong stance for our citys children today. United Nations Convention on the rights of a child offer a holistic way of San Francisco strengthening ways of caring for our children. In order for San Francisco to be a truly child friendly city, we want to be sure that were creating safe streets for walking, biking, scooting, and playing for all children in every neighborhood. If we all work quickly toward this vision, we will all benefit every age and every ability. Child friendly streets will benefit all our lives and our communities, and it will set our city apart in the best possible way and lead other cities to follow. Thank you all. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is nick pasquariello. Im delivering you a letter from the californians association of retired americans. This is to every member of the board of supervisors and to every member of the library commission. Dear mary wordwell. The San FranciscoPublic Library recently made major changes in its core borrowing procedures that adversely affects its most vulnerable population, seniors, lowincome and disabled Library Users. In midseptember without any prior notice, the San Francisco library eliminated Public Notices which let Library Users know which materials they requested are available for pick up at branchs. These notices greatly encourage borrowing of library materials. Without them its impossible for thousands of Library Users without Internet Access to use the library premises. The latest report reports that 300,000 san franciscans do not have Internet Access from their homes, including me. In making this decision, the Library Staff did not take into account this block of Library Users. They presumed all users have Internet Access which would allow them to receive notices via the internet. They did not take into effect all of these san franciscans who have no way of placing materials on hold for pick up. This greatly disadvantages 138,000 patrons from using the library. Quite simply, if a patron cannot know if a book is available, they will likely not use the library. This action by the library violates its public obligation to serve all users equally and at the same level of service. It may also violate thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. I came today Linda Chapman from knob hill. Nob hill. I came today to represent the poor people of San Francisco. When i saw the flier at an interfaith event, and the huge page of National Support from fack, tea facebook, tears came to my eyes. So you know, carr is getting tgetting cair is getting the word out. This is where i left off when i went to resurrected city, when i had the honor of my life of working in president johnsons Poor People Campaign and helping organize a local version of George Wrights campaign. And then in the 60s, we lost all the voices the important voices. Bobbie kennedy, Martin Luther king, and humphrey, and a few years later, george wiley. I came back to San Francisco expected to devote my life to this kind of thing here, and everybody was off on the environment. And then, on the groups of, you know, affirmative action for women and for black people, and chicanos. Well, my job in the federal service was affirmative action. But to see, forgetting poverty, poor people, the democrats turned their back on it after that. I only here middle classes mentioned once in a while, we must you cannot imagine unless youre lived in those youve lived in those circumstances president yee thank you. Next speaker. Clerk yes. Well come and pick that up. Thank you. Yes, please. Thank you. [speaking spanish language] clerk maam, are you translating for you . Sorry. Let me get her notes. Clerk oh, sure. Let me pause your time. Hi. My name is sylvia, and i am here supporting the resolution in favor of asylum because i think that all humans deserve respect and to be treated well and they deserve protection from violence. Thank you to all of the supervisors that supported this resolution. President yee thank you. Next speaker. [speaking spanish language] hi. My name is wendy cortez, and i am here to raise my voice. [speaking spanish language] for all of those who have threats because of their because of violence and discrimination. [speaking spanish language] theres a lot of women and children who die because they dont have anywhere to flee to. Thank you. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. Im also here to speak in support of supervisor ronens proposed resolution affirming San Franciscos commitment to its asylum seeking residents and were so grateful for the supervisors support and the resolution of the cosponsors. Im here from the center for gender and refugee studies and as attorneys were fighting to overturn this ruling in the courts. Every day, were seeing the devastating impact its having on asylum seeking women, children, and families. We face a steep uphill battle, but no matter whos in the white house, the u. S. Government must continue to uphold its moral and legal obligations and provide every Asylum Seeker to present their case before a judge. We know that litigation victories alone do not create lasting change, and we know from our experience that real change will require a ground swell of public support for the communities we serve, and it is our hope that by advancing resolutions like this one and in welcoming cities like San Francisco to help us support Asylum Seekers, that will allow us to get the victories that we need and to allow our next administration to restoring justice to our asylum system a priority. I did mention this morning, a similar resolution is before the Los Angeles County board of supervisors, and it passed unanimously and were hoping that San Francisco can do the same today. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is maria adrena and i work for San Francisco recreation and parks department. I am here to thank you on behalf of recreation and parks and San Francisco children and nature for adoption the resolution of the u. N. Convention of the rights of the child. Rights of the child work to address the disparities along socioeconomic and racial lines to ensure all the children have the opportunity to play, learn, and grow in nature. Time in nature vershas been significantly proven to improve all aspects of development, including the decrease of negative emotions such as anger, if a seeifatigue, and s and the growth of creation, confidence, and more. On october 18, 2014, the San Francisco board of supervisors unanimously endorsed the Community Based effort to establish the San Francisco childrens outdoor bill of rights proclaiming every san franciscan child has the right to feel safe in the outdoors, to play anyplace in the city, to play in the sand and mud, and to steep under the stars sleep under the stars, just to name a few. In 2016, San Francisco became a member of the national initiative, and today, with the adoption of this resolution, San Francisco continues to recognize its ongoing commitment for the rights of children including their rights to experience sustainable childhoods. Thank you for your ongoing commitment and vision for a child friendly city that includes accessibility to nature and kid friendly programming. President yee thank you. Next speaker. [speaking spanish language] hi. My name is juana florez. Im here in support of the resolution for asylum. We want to thank Hillary Ronen and all the supervisors who are cosponsoring this resolution because we believe that the right to asylum is a human right. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. My name is lourdes martinez, and i just wanted to share with all of you a message that we gave down stairs during the press conference. That we at mujeres thinks that this begins with justice and the healing of our immigrant Community Begins with accompaniment. A sister of mine who will speak in a moment spoke of a Great Success that we saw in Immigration Court due to accompaniment, and our resolution is a great example of this accompaniment that helps the heelialing of many wn that are arriving here in San Francisco only to face the hate of the Trump Administration. We encourage you to stay connected to this movement and hopefully, we will eventually overturn what the Trump Administration has done and, you know, win asylum protection for women fleeing genderbased violence. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hi. Im sophia manjares, and i want to thank Hillary Ronen. As we know, asylum is a human right, and we hope that San Francisco continues to be a trailblazer for other cities so that we can see changes at the federal level. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. Last night, i went to a screening of a great film called last man in San Francisco. Showed the impact of gentrification and how it destroys communities. San francisco is destroying its soul by pushing out the locals in this city. We need to protect our culture and make sure we dont lose anymore artists in the culture that makes our city so wonderful to live in. On a separate note, theres not enough trash cans between 25 and 26 on south vanness in district 9, and we would like to request more trash cans as ones have been recently removed. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello. My name is lilia montecitos. As an immigrant survivor of domestic violence, i support the asylum resolution because it protected human life. It was a long road to get my freedom back. The city lacks of support for victims of domestic violence. Lets take a step to help those who need it. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. [speaking spanish language] my name is ana delgado, and earlier during the president conferen press conference, i had the opportunity to show the testimony of one of the members where we had the opportunity to take her to court where the judge shared she did not qualify for conventional asylum. [speaking spanish language] unfortunately, its complicated because she was eventually granted humanitarian asylum but unfortunately that was because of the severity of the three years of abuse that she endured, physical, emotional, sexual. And unfortunately, she survived, but the thing is, its not just when we leave our countries, its not just the violence that we experience when we leave those countries, its not just the violence of crossing through the multiple borders a lot of times, and its not just, like, the violence of the yeleras, the ice boxes, as they call them, so there has to be relief at some point. [speaking spanish language] and thats why were passing were grateful for your support in trying to pass this resolution. This is all our grain of sand, right . And we look forward to helping push this in other cities, as well, sacramento, alameda, oakland, washington, everywhere. So, you know, were just starting with our grain of sand but hoping it gets a lot bigger. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. [speaking spanish language] hello. My name is dora ramirez. Im with muja, and i am to share with you guys. Im from guatemala, im recently arrived, and im asking your support with this resolution because a lot of times when were recently arrived, its very difficult. A lot of doors are closed in our faces, and thats why its very important for me to be able to make these connections with muja to be able to receive the support that i receive by ask you guys to support in the ways that you can, which is with this resolution. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Following me, i want to say i feel a little odd when im the largest stature person in the room. Im not of large stature. The events of the last few days, i just want to commend this board as a general thing. I know that the typical political career is not particularly long. The most the meeting one. Some of them are quite long, but the meeting one is not, and i want to whatever changes are coming to this board, i want to thank the people here. I think all of your parents should be proud of you. Theres been kind of a civility with this board. It started with mayor ed lee, and it went through mayor london breed, and its through to the current board. And i hope it continues, and i want to thank you. President yee thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. I im edward with the original equity group. I just want to extend my condolences to supervisor safai on the loss of his father. Normally, i stay in my lane when it comes to cannabis equity, but i do want to say i was disappointed with the appointment of susan diamond to the cannabis commission. Clerk sir, excuse me. Im pausing your time. That item was addressed at committee, so you cannot speak about miss diamond. Okay. Ill move on. The vacancy tax that wasnt spoken about today, im not in support or opposition for. The fund thats going towards Small Businesses, i do want to see that fund split between the office of cannabiss Community Reinvestment fund, which is still waiting to be funded since 2018. Again, equity applicants are verified most vulnerable business population that we have here in San Francisco, and i know this is not an urgent matter for the board, but i would like to see that amendment in the vacancy tax. I do want to congratulate the board for passing item 39. There are some changes i would like to see, but ill take those comments offline. Again, thanks for your time. President yee thank you. Any other Public Comments . Seeing none okay. Come on up. If theres anybody else, please lineup, otherwise, there will be the last one. Well, with the new d. A. , were definitely running into a situation. I believe therell probably be an uptick in tent encampments and public urination. Im wondering what does your Police Department choose to do about it and what this body chooses to do about it . Ultimately, i would request that you create more infrastructure and more legal infrastructure. The other thing im concerned about is your navigation centers. It seems like theyre violating the laws that this body has created. Let me see if i can pull this picture up. Thank you go to this picture . If you look in the middle upper, i believe that device is a camera in peoples sleeping area. Im wondering, in what legal area is any of that even legal. Do i have a right to put a camera in any of your bathrooms or bedrooms, and why is a contractor being allowed to deal with this . This image right here, this is also your navigation center. This is a very clear violation of your laws about bedding and and spatial. The jails that ive been in, they provide more space between individuals, so you have this problem. The other problem is the Jeff Kozinski reports president yee thank you very much. Okay. This concludes public comment. Okay. Madam clerk, please call the for adoption without Committee Reference calendar item. Clerk items 53 through 63 were introduced without reference to committee. A unanimous vote is required for resolutions. Alternatively, a member may require a motion to go to committee. President yee would any of my colleagues like to sever any items . Supervisor ronen. Supervisor ronen item 55. President yee supervisor mandelman . Supervisor mandelman 53. President yee and id like to sever 56. So colleagues, can we take no. Okay. Colleagues, can we take the rest of the items minus 53, 55, and 5
