31,000 as compared with 110,000 for white fames. As many as 19 of black children in San Francisco live in poverty. Black and African American individuals comprise 35 of the citys unhoused population, despite making up only around 5 of the population as a whole. We have been pushing for reparation for black people here in San Francisco for decades and we have continue to see our organizations disrecorded and left out of receipt of vital resources and in these times of continued system d systemic discrimination of black people, we have to be strong with our solutions. In other words to provide a real opportunity for equity, we need to repurpose resources and give them to the black community to tlefl Playing Field and achieve successful outcomes. Thises a concrete, bold and immediate step toward true reparations for black people and im urging all of my colleagues to support this redistribution of resources from the San FranciscoPolice Department to the black community. Also today, im submit ago request for legislation to the City Attorneys Office on june 16, i introduced a resolution for individuals who profile people of color for suspicion of crime or denial of service base on individuals race, ethnicity, language, gender, Sexual Orientation, immigration status and national origin. It was sent to Public Safety and Neighborhood Services for a hearing. It was made clear by the pinl weve had increase in discriminatory inlses which have been recorded and posted on social media showing black people and people of color being harassed by people using 911 and Police Officers as a threat. While most of you are familiar with the situation termed as barbecue becky where a white woman called the police on a family barbecuing because they didnt show her, a bistander, their permit. I want to highlight the following incidents that have taken place here in San Francisco. In june 2018, a white woman subsequently dubbed permit patty called police on an 8yearold black girl she accused of illegally selling water without a permit in front of her residence. In july 2018, a white woman harass add latino vendor on market street, telling her she couldnt be there if she didnt have a permit and in july 2018, there was an [inaudible] called the police on Victor Stevenson t black owner of a lemonade stand, accusing him of breaking into his own business. In judgment 2019, a white man called the police on a black man waiting for his friend in the lobby of her building, telling him he didnt look like he belonged there. In july 2019, two black Youth Program leaders were racially profiled, accused of stealing and had the Police Called on them by employees at forever 21. In february of this year, i had my own experience being racially profiled. Last sunday a white couple in Pacific Heights called the police on a filipino man, accusing him of defacing someone elses property, despite the fact that it was his home. On may 25, george floyd was killed by police after someone called the police to accuse him of using counterfeit money at a store where he purchased cigarettes. The list goes on nationally with michael brown, Trayvon Martin and others who have been killed for being black. Those are only a few examples that have been publicized. We know that there are many more that dont get News Coverage or dont get reported. In each of these inens stas, people of color were minding their business, going about their day, living as free citizens in our liberal city and country. When their activities were interrupted by those who wanted to remind them that they dont look like they belong. And in some cases there was a threat to call 911 if the person of color did not comply. In this day, that threat feels like a death threat. People of color are threatened with violence if they dont stay in their place. Is it 1920 or 2020 and this behavior is still acceptable. This discrimination against the black community and communities of color have to stop t. Rise in racial violence and antiblack violence has reached a fever pitch. The tim the immigrant community has also seen a rise in violence and hate speech directed toward them. A few week ago i introduced an ordinance that would allow all San Francisco residents, i long with supervisor yee and several colleagues, allowing San Francisco residents to participate in commission and advisory committees regardless of their immigration status because it is important that all of our residents feel a part of the fabric of San Francisco. Regardless of race, language, literacy and wealth. San francisco is for everybody. It is our collective responsibility to prevent Racial Discrimination in all of its form and seek julies for people when were unable to stop it from happening. We must demand that all individuals be treated with dignity and respect. My previous resolution urges companies to provide buyersbased training, training employers to provide customers with information on how to file discrimination complaints and commit to investigate any allegations of discrimination. These are all good efforts, but we need to do much more to close the glaring, ongoing inequities that these communities face. In San Francisco, we must be bold in leading the way and working collectively in the spirit of San Francisco to welcome and embrace all coaches and community. Our police should not respond to racist calls and anyone found liable in a call to action should be held liable. It is my hope that this will prevent these racist call and Law Enforcement does not waste time responding to them. In this moment of nationwide uprising, it is our job to listen to open mind and hearts and to what the most marginalized against us are saying. It is loud and clear that people are being tired of profiled and intimidated by the threat of police and treated as intruders in their own neighborhood. It is with this intend that im asking our City Attorney to draft an ordinance that would impose monetary penalties on people who make false, racebased 911 calls. Abusing our Law Enforcement response system and calling them for nonemergencies simply because the call is racism or bias is unacceptable. Im proposing that we find these people. No one gets to decide who belongs in San Francisco or who uses public spaces based on the color of their skin. Specifically this will amend the police code and make it unlawful to cause a peace officer to contact a person solely based on the desire to discriminate against the personal on the basis of the persons race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, Sexual Orientation or gender identity and will create a civil cause of action and provide for damages violating this prohibition. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor walton. Supervisor and president yee . Thank you, madame clerk. Colleagues, today im joining supervisors fewer, haney and peskin in introducing the Business Tax Reform measure that will allow for a fair recovery by providing relief to our struggling and Small Businesses and ensuring that they stabilize and uplift our local economy. I also want to thank supervisor mar who also is going to be sponsoring another version that we submit for signatures. Just basically the same one that were going to introduce as the legislative process. You know, even prior to the pandemic, this tax overhaul was there far balanced equitable approach. We were previously working on a joint committee to propose Critical Reforms to our citys [inaudible] receipt tax. And from the beginning, i stressed the need for the Mayors Office and the board of supervisors, as well as critical city stakeholders such as Business Community, labor and nonprofit providers to be part of that conversation. I still believe that that to be the case. It is my hope that we can land on a unified tax mission that has consensus. But we should not be sacrificing our values and abandoning our priorities for the sake of agreement. The pandemic only amplified the existing inequities in our system where the financial burden weighed heavily on working families, small entrepreneurs and familyowned businesses. We need to recover from this unprecedented hit on Small Businesses and the local economy. But we also need to provide a sustainable source of Economic Vitality in the fairest and most balanced way possible. The major elements of the measure were introducing today are that it provides immediate support to close our [inaudible] significant budget deficit by unlocking nearly 300 million that has been collected for our city, our homes, properties, propc and also our universal early care and education propc. It provides ongoing support and recovery relief to Small Businesses that have up to 1. 5 million in gross receipts. It extends relief for Small Businesses by reducing Business Registration fees and other taxes for business sectors, hardest hit by the pandemic. We will also eliminate the payroll tax in favor of a more equitable gross receipt tax where more profitable, higher earning businesses pay modestly more. This measure will generate an additional 18 million in ongoing revenue to help close the citys budget deficit, prevent cuts to critical Public Services, reinvest in job and Community Revitalization that is so desperately needed to lift us all out of this devastating pandemic and economic crisis. I look forward to working with all of you as we continue these important discussions. The rest i submit. Thank you, mr. President. Supervisor fewer. Yes. Thank you, madame clerk. Im proud to be a cosponsor of the gross receipt tax merck and really want to thank president yee for leading such a thoughtful and collaborative process with stakeholder and their colleague, supervisor haney and peskin. This pandemic has exposed massive ineke quities deeply engrained with our society and we work to invest in our most Vulnerable Community as we begin to recovery. A we look ahead to the rekoifrz and begin to open the economy, we know we must provide relief to our neighborhood Small Businesses who have been devastated by this pandemic and we know that we must generate significant new revenue to address the growing budget deficit and continue funding the Public Services that san franciscans rely on. The only way we can jump start our economy while preventing massive cuts to our critical Public Services is by asking our most profitable corporations to pay their fair share. Many of these corporations benefited from businesses payroll tax cuts during the last recession as well as the federal tax cuts in 2017. It is only fair that we now ask them to pay a little more to support the recovery of our Small Businesses and communities. I believe this measure strikes the right balance for our struggling Small Businesses and modest increases on big businesses who continue to prosper during this difficult time. I look forward to continuing in this conversation with my colleagues, the mayor and Community Stakeholders about how we can best jump start our economic recovery in the most equitable way possible. And on february 22, 2019, a dear friend and a champion for justice, jeff hidachi, passed away suddenly. In the midst of our collective grief, that same city our city was subjected to a leaked Police Report intended to smear his reputation. The leaking of this report to the press raised reflections for me and my colleagues about internal procedures and departmental general orders regarding the public relief of private information and what accountability exists for individuals who take at this time upon themselves to not only act unethically, but break the law in order to cause harm to an individual or their loved ones for political gain. This is not just about jeff hidachi. These actions serve to undermine the public trust in the Police Department which you know is a serious issue for departments across the country. As our country is in the midst of calls for radical changes to our system of policing and how we think about Public Safety. For black people and for all residents. Since public defender jeff hi, dachis dp ets, the leak of Police Report, the hearing that we held on this matter in april of 2019 and finally the announcement of 2019 from chief scott, sharing that he would be seek an external agency to conduct an independent investigation, neither the board nor the public have gotten any updates regarding the status of such an investigation. Today, colleagues, im introducing a resolution calling upon the Police Department and the department of Police Accountability to pro a status update on any internal investigation and also calling upon District Attorney bodean to initiate a possible criminal investigation into the february 22, 2019 leaked Police Report. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor fewer. Supervisor haney . Thank you, madame clench first i want to echo the comments about the gross receipts tax reform and thank you president yee and supervisors peskin and fewer for your leership and partnership as well as the mayor, controller, the Community Coalitions that came together on propc, the Business Community and labor. I do think that what weve put forward here balances the respective needs to reduce the tax burden on Small Businesses while ensuring that we have adequate revenue to provide for essential services as we face one of most challenging times in our city with regards to ensuring both the preparation for an Ongoing Health crisis and other essential needs that we clearly have around homelessness and mental health. Addiction and, of course, also Early Childhood education with baby c. I know that the negotiations and conversations are ongoing and well continue to work on behalf of the board to come up with the best possible solution that is, as supervisor fewer said s equitable and also meets the needs that we have as a city. Secondly today, along with cosponsors supervisors we are introducing the overpaid executive tax, sometimes referred as the c. E. O. Tax. The stabsing pretty simple. If the measure passes, any company that pays their Top Executive 100 times more than their average worker or median worker will have a. 1 surcharge added to their annual tax payment. The more inequity between the Top Executive and their worker, the higher the surcharge. If the Top Executive makes 200 times more, then it is. 2 surcharge and 300 times is. 3 and capping at 1 if the Top Executive makes more than 1 thousand times. Its a similar surcharge implemented in portland, oregon. California, connecticut, illinois, maine, rhode island and washington have proposed similar proposals to deal with rampant inequality. It will raise up to 140 million every year allowing the city to hire hundreds of nurses, doctors, First Responders and other essential health care workers. Our Health System was already stretched and strained to its limits and in response to Health Emergencies, including the Health Emergencies and Mental Illness and addiction. This measure not only raises much needed funds to fix the cracks in our health care system, but incentivizes companies to invest in their workers, not just their executives. Businesses can avoid the tax by raising their employees wages or paying their c. E. O. S less. Big companies that can afford to pay their executives milliondollar salaries every year can afford to pay their fair share in tacks to help us recover as a city. In the last 30 years executive salaries in the United States have skyrocketed by 940 . But regular workers salaries have grown by just 11 . The overpaid executive tax only applies to companies that gross over 1. 7 million annually and pay their executives over 2. 8 million and a year and are also at 100times plus their median worker. Big businesses all over San Francisco can join us, i hope n this effort. And be on the right side of history. It is a modest tax that
