Ones to reach it the other ones had Bank Accounts to it is not a decision to make to do it is done now they take it from there so it is really quite a beautiful thing and again, youll secure a lot during the president ial campaigns about College Education to add Community College for the college as well to it is a budget we say you increase the deficit if you dont invest in education to, in fact, theres a loss so were again at the other end when this model travels there the country it could create an approach where the federal government can participate as a parent and at left or level were not at that part yet thank you to Jose Cisneros for education in our country once again San Francisco is leading the way. There are initiatives that were having congress to have features the program in terms of assistance to state predicated states containing the cost of education in terms of cost of education it just being frugal just fiscally sound in how the institutions are run im not christ the institutions were getting more back for the students for that initiatives that reduce the cost of Student Loans or initiatives weve had in the congress for a while were proud that is part of the initiative that is a Good Initiative more things weve been working on for a while which is proposing the next idea others that want to go further the consent of money the 350,000 berry new sanders says the cost for the country has already been we want to make that affordable and have qualify of the education and have publicprivate partnerships do their really understand that we have to pay the bill at the end of the day and go into many anything we do for education enhances our country aspirations the people the conceiveness of the people in the world ive seen the invests in education all do more to bring money to the treasury we need to know what it means for people to reach their aspirations and Education Innovation begins in the classroom and have it is all succeed beautifully this way laughter maybe time for one more and Everybody Needs to get back to school. inaudible . Well, first of all, let me say i dont know if any one of us can express our they to kate it is a sad life beautiful and all the prospects of the future of this person insufficient funds out so how we treat and value every single leave is important to us in San Francisco and california and in our country kate steinle law says you have a 5 year minimum sentence for reentry into the country that didnt really address the prop at hand the person perpetrate of that tragedy spent a long time in jail and the 5 mandate minimum didnt add to what we need a better communication amongst the intermits whether the Immigration Service or Law Enforcement we should be putting focus judges come to me over time in congress when necessary come in inform their appropriations they say give us appropriations we dont need a mandatory sentence but the discretion to address the case my Climate Change in this case i dont see i think we can do something but more than that and i support the sanctuary city i think that this horrific crime as terrible as it is is not a reflective of the sanctuary city to do the answer the comprehensive Immigration Reform this will address some of the issues and the minimum sentence of reentry to the country and secondly, we have to have background checks in how people are access to firearms this is a background checks whether or not that into have stopped this it stopped millions on the books but now extend to other things online sales and those kinds of that emerged with the advances in technology so there is plenty we can do and shouldnt just think about it but having mandatory sentence of reentry what seasoned happened in San Francisco im sorry mayor. I happen to agree im focused specifically on the circumstances as well as to what agencies did in discussing to bring somebody back that didnt have to be brought back thats another area to come to an agreement and again i dont think that those cases law the way ive read it addresses that circumstance but im very much for more communication among the Law Enforcement agencies in my opinion is less to do with sanctuary city and more to do with communication among the Law Enforcement you cant have a good communication if an agency device spot to communicate we need to correct that locally as well as regionally. inaudible . Well, we made the discovery the memorandum with an the Sheriffs Department prevented people from communicating once you start it, it is a sleep slop not to communicate this is wrong when we are engaged with people with a criminal record history youve got to have more communication of the circumstances around that im a true believer that communication will help people to understand what we face today. inaudible . Yeah. You know, i think that is the private claim and again, i take this position officially on behalf of the city the people of San Francisco in those circumstances need more communication a good policy for all Law Enforcement officials. Thank feel like it really is a community. They are not the same thing, but it really does feel like theres that kind of a five. Everybody is there to enjoy a literary reading. The best lit in San Francisco. Friendly, free, and you might get fed. [applause] this San Francisco ryther created the radar reading series in 2003. She was inspired when she first moved to this city in the early 1990s and discover the wild west atmosphere of open mi its ic in the mission.

Very good for the library to show this writing community that they are welcome. At first, people were like, you want me to read at the library, really . Things like that. As a documentary, there are interviews [inaudible] radar readings are focused on clear culture. Strayed all others might write about gay authors. Gay authors might write about universal experiences. The host creates a welcoming environment for everybody. There is no cultural barrier to entry. The demographic of people who come will match the demographic of the reader. It is very simple. If we want more people of color, you book more people of color. You want more women, your book more women. Kind of like that. It gets mixed up a little bit. In general, we kind of have a core group of people who come every month. Their ages and very. We definitely have some folks who are straight. The loyal audience has allowed michelle to take more chances with the monthly lineup. Established authors bring in an older audience. Younker authors bring in their friends from the community who might be bringing in an older author. Raider has provided a stage for more than 400 writers. It ranges from fiction to academics stories to academic stories this service the underground of queer fell, history, or culture. And there are so many different literary circles in San Francisco. I have been programming this reading series for nine years. And i still have a huge list on my computer of people i need to carry into this.

Less charlie rose and more carson daly. San francisco is consistently ranked as one of the most literate cities in the united states. Multiple Reading Events are happening every night of the year, competing against a big names like city arts and lectures. Radar was voted the winner of these San Francisco contest. After two decades of working for free, michelle is able to make radar her fulltime job. I am a right to myself, but i feel like my work in this world is eagerly to bring writers together and to produce literary events. If i was only doing my own work, i would not be happy. It is, like throwing a party or a dinner party. I can match that person with that person. It is really fun for me. It is nerve wracking during the actual readings. I hope everyone is good. I hope the audience likes them. I hope everybody shows up. But everything works out. At the end of the reading, everyone is happy.
