Hi, there. I am calling, along with many of my neighbors, as a district 6 resident, and im calling to implore you as the board to do everything in your power to defund, disband, and disarm the sfpd. I think its pretty obvious at this point that this is what the public needs, and youve heard from so many incredible nonprofits who can use this many as those obviously black and Brown Community members and neighbors and so many unhoused people who need help right now. We know that its a difficult thing to do, but thats why youre in this position, and it is so important for you to use this power and to do the right thing, which is often not the easy thing nor the quick thing. We really appreciate you going to bat for us and listening to the residents of San Francisco who really urge you to do your work here. Thank you so much, and i yield my time. Clerk thank you. Can we have the next caller, please. Hello . Clerk yes, please proceed. Hello. My name is jared rosel, and to me, as a long time resident of the tenderloin and the tenderloin benefit district, im calling on the city to provide stewardship and funding for tenderloin parks. As youre aware, the Tenderloin Community is in need of open spaces. Your support is is crucial. We need funding to ensure the Tenderloin Community parks, so please fund our parks. Additionally, i would like the city to provide funding to our tenderloin city collective Food Security coalition to ensure our children are fed. Clerk thank you for your comments. May we have the next speaker, please. Hi, im sorry. Can you hear me . Clerk yes, we can. Please proceed. Okay. Great, thanks. My name is casa hartsock, and i live and work in d6. Today, im calling to ask you all to drop the funding for policing in San Francisco and Fund Community services. [inaudible] i [inaudible] eventually, my family escaped, and he remained at the department and working as a Security Guard in another part of the city. As i found out when i was much older as an adult, studies show that up to 40 of Police Officers families experience a rate of Domestic Violence, a rate much higher than the rest of the population. [inaudible] during the midst of a Global Pandemic and recession that are impacting the same communities that are already overpoliced. To get through, we must instead reinvest the funds in our communities through these already difficult and trying times. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Can we hear from the next speaker, please. Pardon me. [inaudible]. Caller, youre on the phone. Is there a caller on the phone, ready to make comments . Hold on one second. If youre not ready, maybe we can go to the next person and come back. Hello. Hold on a second. Sorry. Hello. My name is rachel everman. Im a nonprofit worker and a d5 resident. I am calling on the supervisors today to direct funding to the things that san franciscans value. Recently, i spoke with a homeless man who had just been the victim of an encampment sweep. He was carrying all of his belongings that hadnt been stolen or destroyed, and he didnt know where he was going to sleep that night. Youve heard today from callers who our city needs funded services for homeless, child care, and parks. We currently have money to fund all of these things in the sfpd budget. Its that simple. We need to keep the resources to keeping vital safe. We need few you are police on the streets. This is the criminal Justice Reform that will keep san franciscans safe. The police have demonstrated that they cannot be reformed. Reformed Police Killed mario woods. Reformed officers disproportionately arrest and threaten black people. We must defund the police. This means significant cuts on significant personnel reduction. Do the right thing. Clerk thank you. May we have the next caller, please. Good afternoon, honorable members of the board of supervisors. Thank you and mayor breed for your leadership and support, especially during these devastating times. My name is holla. Im a resident of district d2. Im a member of an immigrant family and very much relied on school food programs. I am calling today in support of the tenderloin Food Security collectives budget request of 150,000 so Food Security missions in the tenderloin can meet some of our districts basic needs. In the last few weeks, the tenderloin has lost 8,000 muslim meals because of federal budget cuts. Reducing vulnerable population exposure is vital to keeping the tenderloin residents safe and healthy. 6. 5 months into the pandemic, the tenderloin is receiving a pop up pantry, there by increasing the needs and the safety of which residents get their food. I encourage you to not only request the budget request of the 150,000 but double it. No child in San Francisco should worry about access to food, and especially under our watch. Thank you for your consideration, and god bless you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next caller, please. As weve heard from so many important Community Organizations, theres way better ways to spend this bloated budget to help build the community and create a safe and healthy city for all. Weve heard you say black lives matter, so use your power to make the city budget reflect that. Reduce Community Interactions with police this year. Fire sfpd officers, fire sheriffs deputies, and invest in Important Community resources. Thank you. I yield the rest of my life. Clerk thank you. May we have the next caller, please. Hi. My name is jackie, and im the founder of a pot farm called empower to change, and im calling today to echo a lot of the support around defunding sfpd and funding for black lives, but im calling to Fund Services for the trans community, as well. Thank you for your time. Clerk thank you. May we have the next caller, please. Hello. Can you hear me . Clerk yes. Please proceed. Hello. My name is colleen, and im the Marketing Coordinator and cofounder of feeling well. Today, im asking you to stand with the people, with the immigrant communities and communities of color. I urge you to defund the police and use the funding to support black, latin x and other communities of color by funding organizations that are on the frontline every day. Community we the Mental Health in our community is so important, especially with the Latinx Community that has been hit severely hard by the covid19, as well as the other lowincome communities that have been systematically under served. So our c. B. O. S, our first responders, essential workers are essential in getting our community through this crisis. We stand with other communities of color that have been underserved, and we would like to ask the supervisors to stand with the community to keep our budgets whole so that we can continue to serve the communities to continue to support those struggling with their lives and just trying to make it through the next day in the city. Thank you, and i yield my life. Clerk thank you so much for your comments. Can we have the next caller, please. Hi. My name is sophie landau, and i live in district 7, the San Francisco occupied ohlone land. Im calling to ask for bigger cuts to San FranciscoPolice Department and Sheriffs Department because the cuts arent enough. My white father has never been pulled over when i was in the car with him, but i had to stop getting rides from my black stepfather because he was disapproximate portionately targeted disproportionately targeted by the police. Ive been afraid of the police my whole life, but i had to relearn that they do not threaten my life, they threaten the lives of the black and brown folks i love, and theres something i can do, and theres something that the board of supervisors can do. Fund the community, not the police. If youre not afraid of the police, look at the color of your skin and the color of the skin of those you care about the most. Defunding the police isnt as scary as Police Brutality, and it means giving police less money in the same way that budget cuts defund arts, libraries, and the post office. If black Indigenous People of color are not safe, if trans people are not safe, if unhoused people are not safe, if incarcerated people are not safe, the community is not safe. We need to educate the people, not fill the people with police tore or. We need to help the most vulnerable help, not hope the help trickles down because trickle down never works. Thank you so much for listening to my comments, and i yield my time. Clerk thank you so much for your comments. Can we have the next caller, please. Hello . Clerk yes, we can hear you. Okay. I want to get so you can hear me. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. Judith nelson, and im a representative of cap hospitality house, part of the Budget Justice Coalition, and i want to thank you for helping keep our hospitality house staff in float during the pandemic. I realize that government had recently said we will have to make some hard choices, and that was before these requirfi surrounded us. Many thanks for living. God bless you all. Clerk thank you. Can we hear from the next speaker. Hello. My names teresa. Im Employment Program coordinator at hospitality house. I just want to thank you guys for listening to us . So i worked at an Employment Program, and, you know, many of our job seekers experience one or more barriers to employment, some barriers, such as lack of transportation are temporary and easier to address than others. Our case managers assist in meeting basic needs, help find employment, and continued support in the workforce and at home. We need to do better. We urge you to support the Budget CoalitionBudget Justice Coalition for recovery together. These two coalitions represent more than 50 organizations, and their proposals reach thousands of San Francisco households. Im requesting that you rebuild our job Training System to remove barriers to people of color, especially our youth. We need housing subsidies for our seniors and those living with hiv and those in unstable living arrangements. Thank you for listening. Clerk thank you. Thank you. Clerk our next speaker, please. Hello . Hello. Clerk yes. [inaudible]. Im a professional engineer at s. F. O. For the city and county of San Francisco, and i am an ifpte local 21 member. As a civil servant, i maintain services and equipment at the airport and also provide services to allow medical services to be transported all over the nation and medical equipment. It is unfortunate that many people are at home or furloughed or unemployed, but we are not furloughed, and weve not stopped working since the pandemic began. Many of us are working harder than ever. While many of my peers have been assigned to work on the frontline, the remainor are working diligently to keep the city operational to recover after the pandemic. Our wage increases have been delayed until after the pandemic. It isnt cheap to live in San Francisco, and delaying or eliminating future increases will force workers to leave the city they love and no one wants that. The city has a healthy reserve of more than 1 billion and is expecting more than 600 million of federal relief money. Asking workers to give more during this time is unnecessary. Use the citys reserves, and dont balance the budget on the backs of your workforce. Thank you. I yield my time. Clerk thank you. Can we have the next speaker, please. Hello. Can we have the next speaker, please. Hello, may we have the speaker, please . Hello, youre on the line. Were ready for you. Hello, supervisors. My name is art merceau, and im a purchaser with the city. We defer our cost of living allowance to the state of emergency declared by mayor breed, but now were being asked to defer that two years. Not only does it belittle what we do, it also belittles the lives of those we love. Do not balance the budget on our backs. There should be no more budget cuts, no layoffs. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Can we have the next speaker, please. Hello . Clerk yes, we can hear you. Please proceed. Hi. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. My name is abbie, and im the coordinator for the San FranciscoRapid Response community. Were asking you to restore the 135,000 that the hotline received through the r. F. P. Process, especially during this time where i. C. E. Was conducting Immigration Enforcement during a pandemic, and we also want to stand in solidarity with all of our Community Based organizations and also uphold the asks of the Budget Justice Coalition. I also would like to name very specifically that i express full support for defunding sfpd, and that is all. Thank you, and i yield my time. Clerk thank you. Can we have the next caller . Hi. Good afternoon, supervisors. This is [inaudible] calling from [inaudible] and also a cochair for the Housing Provider network. [inaudible] we ask that the Mayors Office and board of supervisors also prioritize the funding that we need to keep these operations fully funded. All of our agencies have been impacted by covid19, and even during these challenges and challenging time, Housing Providers continue to provide Critical Services like housing and Critical Services. The city has deemed our work essential, yet were not being paid the same 24 an hour rate that others are receiving. We ask that all essential workers receive this pay rate during the pandemic. We ask that the ci
