Must stand up and shout out. Our pension budgets must not exassrbate the issues. We must limit for the safety of our residents and wellbeing of employees, working and retired. I call on my colleagues on the retirement board to join us, take our childrens future seriously and finally divest from fossil fuels. Ladies and gentlemen, i stand with you, im excited and im looking forward to casting my vote this afternoon. Thank you. applause thank you supervisor cohen. I want to make a few more shoutouts. First, as we just heard, this is not a conservative issue. This is not a liberal issue, this is not a moderate issue. This is not a progressive issue. This is a moral and financial imperative. To that end, supervisor cohen, supervisor breed and myself serve as members of the Democratic County Central Committee and it was our colleague keith boraka that issued it to divest. That passed unanimously. Thank you keith for that leadership. Thank you to bay. Org, fossil free sf, indian people organized for change, next gen america. Sf berniec. R. A. Ts. And last night with incredible testimony from victor who talked about the way the investment industry works, about score cards, out of the half a billion dollars that the San Francisco Employee Retirement system has invested in fossil fuels, over 20 of it has not yielded a positive return to the fund. Just what supervisor cohen was saying, for five years or more. Thats what we call a bad investment. That is a bad investment. This decision can be made as a fiduciary decision and moral imperative as we did around guns and ammunition and tobacco. It makes prudent sense for the retirement system to divest. I want to shout out the commissioners gathered here who took the very bold step and at the department of commission of the environment last evening voted for full divestment within 180 days. Which is a strong demand. Thank you commissioners. With that, i would like to bring up isabelle sezie who is a young leader, a grassroots leader and thank you isabelle for being here and thank you for your work. Good morning relatives. I come from the northern tribes. Im 23 yearsold and live on occupied territory. I want to first pay acknowledge to the people of the land we do stand on because indigenous voices, indigenous rights and sovereignty is important to remember and acknowledge. I am a member of idle no more sf bay. Sfd fund dapo coalition and defending mother earth treaty. I want to start by saying we welcome the pension board and seiu Public Sector members to join our ranks as water protectors. The vote to defund is critical. Its critical to protecting the water. The divestment vote and movement in San Francisco has been initiated and fostered by long standing grassroots, indigenous advocacy throughout Turtle Island and mobilizing groups that have fought long and hard for this moment today. We have seen and continue to see the violation of indigenous rights and the threats to our water. All of the sacred systems of life. The standoff at Standing Rock to stop the Dakota Access pipeline is not over and its just the beginning. To show that the many other Standing Rocks around the world that we are not afraid to stand up to big oil and to divest. The assault on mother earth is real. The Climate Crisis is real. And all who are living in those yet to be born need clean air, clean water and clean soil. And we need to remember that. We all need clean air, clean water and clean soil to live a healthy and sufficient life here on mother earth. And i want to thank the San Francisco board for hearing us out and responding to the frontline call to divest from fossil fuel projects and the investments. And last, i want you all to know that my generation, the next seven generations and all our non human relatives, we thank you for this and we will be completely relived of any hardships and i send my best regards to the vote in favor for us to divest completely of fossil fuel projects and infrastructure, expansions and any investments because we all know we need to keep it in the ground. Keep the oil in the ground, keep fossil fuels in the ground and divest. Thank you. applause thank you for those profound words. Before i introduce the final speaker, i want to say that all aspects of our government minus the sfers board, at least until 1 00 this afternoon, are on the same page and i want to shout out our City Attorney who has initiated some of the most Ground Breaking litigation against some of the largest fossil fuel polluters in the United States of america. And the reason i bring that up, because as cities and states start this kind of litigation, these investments become more and more risky. These become stranded assets and i speak to you not only as a member of the board of supervisors but as a member of the California Coastal commission, where last year more emergency permits were applied for because of sea level rise, king tides, beaches being buried under the sea, than any previous year. As we just heard, this is real. We would not be here without the strong support of labor advocates. Sciu 101 have led on the fight and they take it personally because many are vested pensions invested in the risky big oil assets. Thank you joseph bryant, thank you Martha Hawthorne. With that, my friend joseph bryant. Who is ready to divest in fossil fuels . We are were not in the chamber. I want to hear noise. Who is ready to divest in dirty fossil fuels . We are thats right. Im the regional Vice President of sciu 101. We represent in San Francisco over 15,000 city workers who are vested in the citys pension fund and were urging the board of retirement to divest in dirty fossil fuels now. I want to give a huge shout out to everyone who has played an Important Role in this, its been a village that has come together to help move this. Thank you former supervisor ovolose, supervisor peskin, supervisor cohen, president breed. And the commission on the environment for your resolution pass last evening. Thank you very much and i would be remissed without acknowledging our retirees here who have broken their backs to ensure this is a priority for sciu 101, particularly david page, Melissa Hawthorne and many others here who have led the fight. With this, we have reached the point of insanity. Its a bad investment. Were losing money on this investment and destroying our communities and we still have to spend our time, energy and effort here to fight for it. What is going on. This is absolutely insane. With all the challenges were facing right now from the federal level, from throughout this country, were having to spend our time in the most progressive city in the country to fight for a very basic concept, to do the right thing, divest in fossil fuels. Were here for that and were not just asking to say do it eventually. We want a timeline. We want something real. We need something real. So please join us today sciu 101, again adamant supporter, well be up there in the chamber causing whatever ruckus we need to to ensure it happens. Thank you very much. All right. Lets keep it real, lets make it real at 1 00 p. M. , at 1145 Market Street on the sixth floor is the meeting. I hope all of us will be there sitting in the audience ready to testimony. And with that, Martha Hawthorne leading us in a few chants. San francisco, the most beautiful city on the planet. Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is kimmy, and you listen to me every morning on the morning dream team. It is a pleasure to be here. There are events that i do, but theres events that mean a lot to me. Im born and raised in San Francisco San Francisco. Im a Bernal Heights baby, courtland kid, so when i hear that Galileo High School is not only the city champs but the state champ, it makes me extra excited. And when president london breed asked me to emcee this event, its clear theres no place i would rather be than right here right now. So we are here to honor you guys. The focus is on you. We are so proud of you, and on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco, can we just all say congratulations . Cha yes. Give these young men a standing ovation for all the times you were tired, you wanted to quit, they didnt you couldnt do it, they didnt believe in you. What are these guys from San Francisco going to do . Theyre going to bring home the ship. See, bring home the ship. So we have a lot of people here to celebrate all your success, and it is my pleasure, i would love to bring up our first speaker. We have the incredible Vice President of the school board, stevon cooke, please. It is such an honor to be here to represent the San Francisco Unified School District at city hall, but i think because the walls are lit with purple, its somebody else today. Whose house . Whose house . We have the state champion ghouse to that because these incredible student athletes, as a previous speaker said, won the city championship, but took it all the way to win the 6 a championship state title. I would like to take a moment to recognize some leaders from the school district. We have president hydromendoza mcdonald today, our Athletic Director for the school district, don collins, is also here. And the principal of Galileo High School has joined us. Dr. Matthews, our superintendent, wanted to be here, but unfortunately, his father passed this weekend, so if we can keep his family in our hearts and our prayers as they go through this difficult time. This is a really incredible occasion. The first time in the history of our city we can gather in honor of a state football champion. So welcome to city hall, congratulations, Galileo High School. Lets do it again next year. [applause] now, as you know, you have a very famous alumni who went out of her way to put this together for you. Shes sitting here in the front row. Shes been here for all the right reasons, and we all trust her, and if it wasnt for her, i wouldnt be standing here. So ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the one and only president london breed. [applause] the hon. L. Breed all right, all right. Its time for a real celebration, and let me start by saying that galileo is always making history. When i went to galileo, with tyrell and dari, and i dont have any glasses on, so i cant see anyone else back there, but it was the first time in the history of the city and county of San Francisco that there was ever a threepeat, where we won turkey day three years in a row. First time in the history. No one, no one has ever broken that record. Galileo is known for always having an incredible football team. And i was there turkey day when you guys beat mission. Now i love all the kids, but missions Basketball Team was here a couple years ago, and i had to give it to them because they were the first to bring a basketball state champion to San Francisco, and the galileo lions are the first to bring a state championship to San Francisco. [applause] the hon. L. Breed thanks to the leadership of coach huynh, who is a lot older than i am, but we went to galileo at the same time, a at some poico ago when galileo won, we honored them here at the board of supervisors, and what is so incredible about what you did, the hard work, the team work, the commitment, the consistency, the drive. When you were out there playing turkey day, i just felt like i was a teenager again, routing for the teams that i used to root for when i was a kid. I was so proud, i was so excited, and i was so incredibly grateful that you basically brought the galileo spirit back to the hearts of so many generations of galileo lions. So youre not just inspiring the people you go to school with, youre inspiring the entire city. This is the first time that a school, not just a public school, but a private school, any school in the history of this city, they have never done what the galileo lions have done with the state championship. [applause]. The hon. L. Breed and there are so many people here to celebrate. They are alumni, they are family, they are friends. This is all for you, but i have a surprise, one that you probably didnt anticipate. Now, you know, when you win the superbowl, what do you get for winning the superbowl . You won a state championship. Youre getting rings for the state championship. [applause]. The hon. L. Breed youre getting rings, yes. Yes. So im so excited. Youre getting rings. Youre also getting, which is probably not as exciting, certificates of honor from me personally [applause]. The hon. L. Breed from our assessorrecorder, carmen true, whos here. And the point is i was when at Galileo High School, the reason why i even thought about going to college is because there were so many amazing people who supported me, who encouraged me, who looked out for me and who ensured that i stayed the course. You all have inspired so many people, and youve got to continue to work and continue to stay the course. Here in the city and county of San Francisco, we celebrate and we honor you tonight. And the real work continues the next day when you study and youve got to make sure you go pass those tests. We are counting on you. We are counting on you to be the next generation of leaders. We are counting on you all to go to college. We want to see great things out of each and every one of you, and it is on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco, truly, my honor, as an alumni of galileo, to be here today to celebrate with you and your family and friends. Thank you so much for being here, and at this time, i am going to issue the certificates of honor and ask am i . I know we have some more speakers here or we can do it at the end. Well do it at the end . Okay. So at this time, im going to turn it back over to kimmy, and we didnt have the rings tonight because you have to do what . Give your ring size, but youre going to have rings, so i want you to wear those rings with pride and show them what the galileo lions are made of. Thank you, everyone, for being here. [applause]. Once again, thank you president london breed. You guys are getting rings. Whoo, you guys are getting rings. Now, with every team, you have to have a leader, and every leader has a story. In this era, were talking about dreamers and people with dreams. I bet you 5 at no point did coach huynh ever dream that he would be sitting here in city hall with state champions at his fingertips. You think so . Coming from vietnam at the age of seven, making his way up, coming over here, and look at the young men that youve inspired, coach. It is time for us to honor you. San francisco, get on your feet for your championship coach, coach huynh. [applause] i didnt know i was supposed to talk, so i got this prepared. Actually, now, before i speak, we have a gift for london. Ill bring it down to you. We have the boys signing this for you, uhhuh. And we have this for you. There you go. [applause]. All right. Its thank you for for this. I was telling them earlier, when we came in 2013, we didnt have this. We had upstairs in a quick meeting, we had a picture here. When i first walked in, and i saw this, i was impressed. Are you guys impressed . I just want to say, for me, as a coach, youre right. When people ask me, did you ever think youll win a state championship . No, not in my lifetime. I thought i could help build a program leading up to the state championship. I knew we had a chance to win the city championship, but to move on two more games and win the state championship i had a player who always asked me after the day is over, how do you feel, coach . I feel excited. Big norcal game, im excited. State championship, i have no words. And its the fact that you guys, you dont feel it yet, but you guys are part of a tradition at gal, a part of a family at gal. You guys feel it, right . [applause]. And its not its not going to leave, right . Nobodys taking this away from you guys, so as a coach, i do appreciate being a part of you guys winning the state this year. So im blessed in that way, all right . And other than that, theres nothing to say. Honestly, i think well do it again next year. So you guys go to class and take care of your class academics. Thats it. Thank you. Thank you. [applause]. Thanks, coach. Now, you guys speak football, right . And we represent the red and gold all day. 49ers. So who better else to give you a celebratory message than a person whos actually represented that team. Galileo high school, the one and only San Francisco 49er legend dennis brown. [applause]. Wow. Did you say rings . You guys are getting rings in high school . Wow. I dont know i dont know about you, but listening to miss breed speak, i was getting fired up, cause she was talking football, and she was talking pride. And i think i mean, ive come out here every year to be a part of this. And i tell the young men, the Young Athletes every year, now youre champions, and a lot comes with being champion a champion. Folks are looking up to you. Your community, theyre looking up to you. Everywhere you go now, you are now, you guys first time you guys have won the state championship, correct . You guys are now role models. Understand that. A lot of athletes dont get that part. You are now a role model. Everything you do in the city, in school, at home, everybodys looking up to you now. Huge responsibility. Congratulations to you, but understand, theres a lot of responsibility, and everything you did to win that state championship, youve got to do it in the classroom. All that dedication, all that extra work, youve got to do it. Thats whats got to happen. Now, i wear my ring with pride. Everywhere i go, i tell people, i am a former San Francisco 49er, but i am a champion, and i carry myself as a champion. So this day is fun, but understand you guys are role models, and everyones looking up to you. So congratulations, thank you from the San Francisco 49ers, thank you, london for having us out here. Thank you, london. Understa understand, youve got a responsibility now, and lets do it again. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, and its at this time may i please call the captains of the Championship Team to the podium, please. [applause]. All right. Whos going first . Talk to your team. [applause]. Im not good at speech, so i would like to say thank you for inviting us here, and thank you coach mark for the dedication for four years, saying i want to be a quarter back. Coach black, i hate you so much on the field sometimes, but deep in my heart, i love you. I love you so much, coach. Especially you guys, i love you guys. And keep it a secret, youll always be my family. Baseball. And yeah, thank you so much. [applause]. All right. All right. All right. I say its been fun, a lot of fun. I didnt think wed make it to state, but then i saw, i realized all the talent we had, some of it. And thank you for inviting us here. Its very nice. Ive never been here, so its a good experience. And thank you to my coaches for letting me play. We did all the hard work through my four years here, and it was fun. Thank you. [applause]. All right. These four years have been really fun. I never like, never thought i would get here to this point. I was, like, being a wide receiver, because my freshman year, i want a lineman. Now, its really new to me. And then, i just slowly transitioned over, and i never knew that it was like, this can happen. I like, we won a championship my freshman year, and i really wanted to win it, like, either my junior or senior year, too, but i never knew we could go, like, farther than that. Okay. Thank you. [applause]. First of all, i want to say thank you for inviting us. Also, i have fun this four years. I never knew it would come this fast, but also, id like to thank my whole team for actually showing me what brothers are. But in my freshman year, i wasnt doing so good, and my grades werent so good. Then, my coaches, they motivated me and said i couldnt play because of my grades. So i decided my sophomore year to do better. Also my team, they are one of a kind. They are one of a kind. They put what happens in their lives for football, and thats what makes our team special. Were all different, but when we come on the field, we all act like one, so thank you. [applause] [ inaudible ] the captains, theyll look back on this one day i spoke in there one time. So its at this point, we are going to award the special certificates, so at this time, i need a little help.

Ive got time ive with 25 jobs so for young people one of my favorite days in San Francisco thank you, thank you to the companies that are hiring. clapping. the city of San Francisco and united way are calling an employers to have jobs for youth in 2012 president obama issued a challenge and the challenge was get disconnected young people connected to jobs and so mayor ed lee said we should lead this challenge that the city will have 25 hundred jobs that first summer 6200 jobs and been building. Ill high are ups we like to pledge 50 jobs so for youth this summer. Excellent. Thank you. A large part of the jobs it did manual Resource Center started off a a Youth Program and our first year 35 percent of the Young People Working fulltime we know there the pressors looking for committed young people the resource fair attracts over 6 hundred people if all over the city and the greater bay area. We have public and private partnership the employers came from hertz rent a car and many private sector jobs sea have the city staff so the airport is here, starbucks is here weve been retail we have restaurants, we have offices and so the young people will get an opportunity to partner search warrant with so many of the great champions for jobs. For the past 5 years weve hired over 3 willed youth to work as business traces they have been promoted to supervisors. If youre doing a job at starbucks the opportunity for them allows them to understand math if tire working at anothers Architectural Firm understanding debris or a media to understand reading and writing differently those are opportunities that the mayor is clear he wanted to provide were going to be do mock interviews helping young people that the resumes a it pulls them to the Career Opportunities and Building Inspection Commission make sure theyre prepared for those opportunity educational and in terms of their preparation skills by the time many of them leave theyll leave with jobs and new relationships building their network of the opportunity to thrive and i think i could focus and i check around the booths to see had is available im hoping to get a job but have employers you know employers give practice. I feel this will be a great way to look for jobs we can do this like you get paid. When our young people walk we capture their information so we can do follows up and we have a room that has a our computer lab an opportunity for them to do cover letters and talk about updating their profile and i think how you do things on the internet we help quam and they can update tare resume and can look in interviews and on the spot job officers we hire about one hundred young people today lee alone it is exciting out of that it is if they come through with one hundred walk out with a job. Well rock and roll i guess in the job interviews it went great. As a youth we get to go through experiences 3 builds a Great Foundation gymnasium a positive outlook and more importantly confidence. We really want to do at the end of the day exist a young person with the possibility of what we can be and do we have them go home i want to get there let me connection with those folks and ultimately got on the path. Good morning good morning caitlin im Caitlin Lopez 23 years old i moved out to california and San Francisco, california had i was about 8 years old and actually put in foster care at the age of 9 or 10 had a baby at the 16 years old so ive kind of had this crazy like youth experience. Despite the challenges she faced caitlin finished high school and take advantage of program. I heard will mayor ed lees program through my social worker and i interviewed with entrepreneurs after i was matched walking sweet spots office i thought imitated not been in that type of office ones i got into the office with my supervisor we boptd and i got a call from h. R. I got the position and im in. I have. We hired merry for 8 weeks and saw how she did she was only going to work 8 weeks but at the end question offered her a position part time. I have those traits it has been great working here my term of 5 weeks was pretty much like family supporting each other i feel like the mayors job program helped me to get in job without the Jobs Plus Program i i probably would have not even had a job. In her case shes a mother of two now going to school fulltime and making it happen so if she can do it differently anyone that has a willingness to try at least try to make it can do it. Those programs are amazing theyre so important for young adults to really go out there and make a Better Future for themselves and despite not having a traditional you can go out there based on the programs thats what theyre for they want to help you succeed. Well be committing to 25 jobs in the tech. The San Francisco rec and park is hiring 3 and 50 youth that summer. clapping. and only child born in the Office Development allocation to r so for me is a network of the community that made the difference no way ill be with united way this network was here for me this was personal and professional so important we create the opportunities who know the next ceo or champion of the community is coming today to find their path. Thats the roll in San Francisco we really by helping each other out clapping. the goal for 2017 to create 5 thousand jobs for youth if you want more information invite them at sf youth. Org today we are going to talk about fire safety. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. Its a wonderful display. A little house in the urban Center Exhibition center that shows what its like in a home in San Francisco after an earthquake. One of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. We are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. Thank you. My pleasure. We talk about the San Francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the city. How do we avoid that kind of problem. How can we reduce fire hazard . The construction was a lot different. We dont expect what we had then. We want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. If you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. Be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. Absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the Utility Company come in and turn it back on. Here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. Where would we find the gas meter . It should be in your garage. Everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is. One of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. Yes. The crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. Okay. Lets go inside to talk about fire safety. Many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little Smoke Detector and i see you brought one here, a Carbon Monoxide Smoke Detector. This is a combination of smoke and Carbon Monoxide detector. They are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. If Gas Appliance is not burning properly this will alert you before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. This is a Battery Powered . This is a Battery Powered and it has a 10 year battery life. A lot of times you may have one or the other. If you put in just a Carbon Monoxide detector, its important to have one of these too. Every house should have a fire extinguisher, yes. One thing people expect to do when the power goes out after an earthquake about using candles. What would you recommend . If you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. This kind of a candle, you wouldnt want it in an area where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesnt rollover. You definitely want to have this in a noncombustible surface. Now, here we have our stove. After a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home, how are you going to cook . Well, i wouldnt recommend cooking inside of the house. You have to go outside and use a portable stove or something else. So it wouldnt be safe to use your fireplace to cook . Not at first. You should check it by a professional first. Outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you stay away from buildings and doors and windows. Yes. That will be fine. Here we have some alternative cooking areas. You can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. Thank you for joining us. And thanks for this terrific space that you have in this exhibition space and thanks for helping San Francisco stay safe
