That was stupid. No warning about know chance and they arrested them and ive been here in a lot of protests and ive never seen that. Good afternoon, supervisors. The reality is clear that when you see on the street and theyre screaming and they need Health Treatment you get arrested and that is the response and if you are in city hall and you are treatmenting and chanting we need healthcare, you get arrested. Thats why its so important because we dont need changes because if the system is broken and you are telling the people who are effected by the system the most, that we just need a little tweak here and a little change there, then that is a slap in the face. And the only way that we can fix this system is through a vision where the system functioned for the people that it serves. And so i really just want to thank supervisor haney and supervisor ronen for having that vision and having the guts to use the power that they have to empower the people in their communities and then San Francisco as a city so we can be, again, on the cutting edge of the country and show people a better system and a Better Future is not only possible its on the horizon. Thank you, very much. Good afternoon and thank you very much for your leadership and were a member of treatment on demand. I know it took over 100 drafts and maybe we need a few more and we need to move to legislation as this has been heard. We hope that can be true. Because you get better accountability that way and we can go beyond reports and hearings and structural accountability and across sigh. Its a structural problem the way we govern. I wanted to mention that. And i really want to appreciate the deepest part of our being as a community that you have included the incarcerated population where it is the largest homeless shelter facility and its the largest mental ill facility in our community and the largest Substance Use disorder in our city. That has tob to be eliminated. You have included more than one phrase in the legislation and i truly appreciate it the other specific thing is the office of private insurance and its a creative way to include universally and we need that clearly and i hope that you can legislate. Thank you, very much. Public Heath Justice collective. Were very glad to see a program of universal and particularly multi level meant healthcare being proposed and thats a cause for celebration. I want to talk about a gathering danger of a law and order approach to both homelessness and methal health. One is the mayors Urgent Care Mental Health plan and it includes enforcement of drug laws on Homeless People. And if you read the legislation, it talks about foot and bicycle patrols of homeless areas for aggressive enforcement of drug laws that cannot be. The second example is that the mayors jail plan which includes a Justice Center with new jail cells and the Mental Health jail plus this is supposed to happen in 2028. In the meantime it brings up the responsibility of transfer centers to jail which has so many deaths. Mental health San Francisco has to go through the board of supervisors right now to prevent it from going onto the ballot because if it goes on the ballot, the mayor has a plan with all its drug wars and all its emphasis on just a few people will go on. So, all supervisors need to pass this right now. Hello my name is hyas. I am someone who is born right here in San Francisco. I am a homeowner and i am a Mental Health services consumer. Unlike a lot of the people who will be served by Mental Health sf, i have an incredible support system. I have a wonderful family and i dont want for material things. I have kaiser and i have been waiting for three months to access Mental Healthcare that i need. And id like to address the concerns i believe are held by the Mayors Office and proponents of urgent care sf. It may be hard to draw the line between Holding Public insurance accountable and what that means for the city. We are the answer that we seek today. You are creating something amazing putting structure to action. Hope for people being a voice for those who dont have as voice. I work in with a lot of tenants and we see a lot of fear and now were seeing tenants maybe lost their homes or theyre going through construction as a form of harassment and were seeing people, for the first time in San Francisco saying were going to make San Francisco great again. Were going to make San Francisco great because were taking radical changes and a radical approach for both our Mental Health issues and our homeless issues. So thank you so much. Hi, im a volunteer organizer at Housing Rights Committee and like i said earlier in the ral rally, i have developed some anxiety panic attacksment im having a little one right now. And i never had that before until the largest landlord bought my building. Its also that i dont have Health Insurance and its really hard to find the right one for me. For anyone and thank you for everything that you guys are doing. I appreciate it. Lets get this bill passed. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is vivian. Im president of the Mental Health association of San Francisco. First, id like to draw everyones attention, i hope you look up an article that the examiner ran. Mental health sf is a full spectrum of services, interventions that can prevent the need for expensive and traumatic urgent care. The premise is simple. Appropriate care at the appropriate time. The mayors competing plan urgent care sf has an extremely limited focus that lacks in sight and sensitivity people dont present with overwhelming systems and early battle of depression or psychotic foot can be treated for staal the needs for urgent care. And it was incumbent on this city to provide the proper level of care at the proper time. Hi, im a Community Organizer with Community Housing partnership. Our mission at Community Housing partnership is to provide Affordable Housing and help formally Homeless People achieve selfsufficient see. In order to do that, we have to help people heal from the homeless trauma that starts from the very moment that peoples housing is unstable. Most of the people that we work with including myself who is experienced homelessness, and poverty, survived through homeless travel on a daily basis and its crucial we recognize workers helping people achieve stability from coming indoors and recognizing the labor of the nonprofit workers that are in support of housing that are really doing some of the Front Line Work around Mental Health and bringing people back some times from the brink on an hourly basis. Sorry, i lost my train of thought here. We appreciate also that housing is a crucial component to comprehensive solutions. If were going to address member health, it starts with people having a home. Lastly, i also want to say that its important to understand the race cultural and linguistic and people have to understand the therapy and care theyre getting. When has real systemic change happened without exercising Community Power through civil disobedience. My name is sarah larson and i worked in San Francisco dhp for 40 years and almost 25 now. I was very encouraged by the fact that the current head of Human Resources has resigned. Im thinking we would have a fresh start. Someone new from someone outside. Instead the job was less than like a week later it was handed to someone who had been the head of hr and has been the head of other things and is kind of just another permanent ride on the San Francisco merry go ground of bureaucracy. I would like to see some fresh blood. I mean, every time i hear someone say oh it takes two years to hire someone, thats just ridiculous. I mean, that really needs to change. Theres no reason it should take that long. Theres no reason that management should be lying about hiring people when dph is 20 understaffed and we need some fresh blood up there at the top. I think the city missed a really great opportunity to bring Something Like that in. Because, as i said earlier, we need a lot of new clinicians and that being said, i would like to say also that laguna honda hospital, 1600 beds or 1200 beds whatever, is still empty and its a fabulous asset to be ignored. I dont know why its there deteriorating except for a few redecorated offices whoa need a facility where people can stay until theyre stabilized and i would like to see option there. It would be really great. My name is june bug and im with the Health Justice academy and the San Francisco heath plan advisory and aim a poor magazine and a former San Francisco commissioner and because im someone that cares and i experienced trauma in my life and i have Mental Health issues. All my issues have a lot of issues that go down to my basic needs being met. And so, im someone who needs Wraparound Services in my life. Im at the mercy of the handout to survive and its still not enough. We have a crisis in my city. This is my city and my home. What i see daily disturbed my heart and what i go through disturbs my mind. Its a challenge to stay focused and not give up because i live a hard life. Mental health sf offers Wraparound Services. And that is something that we need. We need wrap around services because the issues in our life are intersected with the needs that we need to be met. Instead of that in place, what we have right now is incarcerating, criminalizing and killing us. My friend was killed by San Francisco police at the theater who suffered from Mental Health issues. If wrap around services and Mental Health sf was in place my friend making alive today. So i just want to say we are suffering and we are waiting so we need Mental Health sf now. Thank you. Hi. Im Colleen Rebeca and i am managed a Community Organizing department at tenderloin neighborhood corporation. We want to say that San Francisco needs to reform its Mental Health and Substance UseTreatment Service delivery because too many Vulnerable People are falling through the cracks and not getting the help they need. And this is an issue thats urgent and we need to address it now. What we need to do is we need to address it in a way that treats people who have Mental Health issues and who treatment people who use drugs with dignity and respect and is our members of our community. And i say that as a concern who has had issues with Mental Health for more than 35 years. Im part of this community. And other people like me who have Mental Health issues are part of this community and people who use drugs are part of this community and we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. San francisco must respond to our communitys Behavioral Health needs without stigmatizing people who use drugs and people who need care. Lets move hefford holding that basic tenant of dignity and respect for all of our community members, especially those suffering and in need of help at the forefront. Thank you. Im a resident of d8. I applaud your vision and your plan to put together a new system for a Services Including people who are on the front lines of this crisis my colleagues serve families on the front line of the homelessness crisis and we operate the central city access point and were seeing in our programs across our programs residential childcare, more families with more and greater needs and greater acuity levels and we need a system that is capable of providing them with access to low Barrier Services that meet their needs. For families, its not just about meeting the needs of the individuals its meeting the needs of the individuals so the Little People in their lives can get what they need. If parents dont get the service thats they need, then the entire family suffers. And that perpetuates longterm cycles of sickness and poverty and homelessness. Its very important from our perspective that we put forward this bold solution so that people can get access to what they need so we can act now but also take the longterm view towards breaking these cycles so thank you for your vision and your boldness. Thank you. Good afternoon. Jordan Davis District 6 resident. Thank you to supervisor ronen and haney for spearheading this and thank you for the Community Health that will help meth health sf a reality. Except for the deputy sheriff, fuck them for arresting my comrades. Im sick and tired of seeing walking by the crisis on the streets and im tired of the false solutions such as conservatives and in jails. I was that person on the streets but i stabilized. Now as you know all know, i am nuts. I swear on board chambers, i got so depressed i got so drunk at a event i was honored at i puked in the toilet and ive had more suicide that you can count and i dont think i will see services and may be compensating further but i want to make sure everyone in this city that ive adopted and i know and love has voluntary services on demand. I want to say to room 200, stop being the bullshit mayor, stop opposing and continue the conversations but we have standards and we all go to the ballot if this thing is legislative process. So fuck urgent car their actualg this at another meeting. This is really historic moment and i just had to say my peace. Let me get out of here because the sheriffs try to arrest me for bashing them. My name is john mccormick. Im honored to share the mic with people like jordan person is that has spoken her. Im tiret europe. Im tired about hearing how Good Services are in europe. Someone got on the mic and talked about how great the services are in spain. I wanted to talk about how good the services in San Francisco. I want for our city and hear about what happened in San Francisco. Did you hear about what theyre doing in San Francisco . We can do that. That can be us. That can be this proposal. I want to get behind David Elliott louis and Curtis Bradford person is else today bradford and everyone who spoke. Not let it to go to the ballot. I dont want for the rest of the country did you hear about that dogfight about meth healthcare in San Francisco. I want this to pass. I want this to go through and i want to stop seeing people suffer. Its not something that just happens in the tenderloin or just happens in bay view it happens all over. It happens in the sunset and it happens all over the city and we can fix it. So, thank you to the people who worked on this. Everyone in this room has not worked on this who is not here anymore. Thank you to the supervisors. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is annabell. And im the political united representing behalf of 6400 teachers and staff stand in support of Mental Health sf. It is San Franciscos not only experiencing inaffordability crisis that sim pacting all of us but were also experiencing a Moment Health crisis. Its clear that it needs a overhaul change thats why Mental Health sf is the answer. Thank you supervisor ronen, supervisor haney, and all the other supervisors that are supporting this. We need a change and we need it now. Thank you. Kim, San Francisco labor council. If i could rely on the 200 thref you to pass jobs i wouldnt need my job. To all your colleagues who labor council, is there for Mental Health sf and we know San Francisco needs to do better. We know what San Francisco needs, San Francisco needs Mental Health sf and if any of your colleagues have this is repaired. Thank you. I am the chair for sciu local 10 1 and im proud that we are working together and what i wanted to speak with you about is to say that i work at San FranciscoGeneral Hospital and this is not just a matter of a fame because Zuckerberg Facebook and experiments to see if they could spread emotions like a disease and that has worked so well that now we have genocide that is occurring because of that and its worked so well that zuckerberg is taking in millions of dollars from trump and saying that you can lie as much as you want to and we are facing that and our leadership is blaming the people that work there for the problems that take place and blaming the clientele. I received a message when during the rainy season that there was a fire that broke out on campus and no one was hurt and they wept out of their way to say they knew it was caused by homeless female and the and ite because theres no money to be made in Mental Healthcare but, we are not in the business and the publichealth of making money. Hello, since i worked on all your campaigns and i love the work, thank you for doing what you do and my name is. Catherine and im a member of asp2121 but im here as someone who was very close to someone who lives with unrecognized middle Health Issues and we are all on this spectrum. I fluctuate hour by hour myself and im usually the one that helps her to do it. Because she refuses to recognize that she has a problem and she was beaten in foster care and she didnt chose to be the way she is and so she also doesnt chose to think that anything is wrong and i would like to have a special meeting tonight and pass this and roll it out really big and really loud so it dough stigmatizing meth health that it doesnt make people assume Mental Health people are criminals so there is so much to be done in this campaign and she doesnt live in the city and she was in Rural Communities that is really port so im a huge part of the Financial Support so we cant have meth Health Without it and you cant have much Mental Health when thinking differently or whatever chemical disturbs are going on and its being stigma theres one in four people that seek Mental Health services if theyre lucky enough to get them so, thank you. Good afternoon supervisors haney and ronen and supervisors mar and rules committee. I would sure like to see better Mental Health that is everywhere. Looking for words and solutions. Searching but not finding understanding anywhere. I think by the way, happy halloween tomorrow. I think you lost in a massacres aid. I think youre lost in a meth health masquerade. I know you can do this because theres a spark of magic in your eyes. By the way, happy halloween tomorrow too. Candy land and. You know what you got, you got all the rain bows in your favorite shades. Make it come through because you are a Mental Health genie in the skies make it a big wonder, make it a big surprise, i bet you by golly wow and you are what ive been waiting for forever. And every will my dreams come true today. Make it happen, make it happen, make it come our way. Thank you, bye. [applause] that is a difficult one to follow. My name is ruby and i work at the San FranciscoCommunity Health center which is formally Asian Pacific islander wellness center. I want to thank you for doing what you are doing. And share a few things. I want let everyone know ive submitted 28 names to the homeless this year and all of which are waiting for Mental Heath Services every single one of them. Ex i want to make sure you include more people with lived experience and lift them up. We do not need more people coming out of schools. We dont need new teams. There are plenty of us doing this work. We need the funding and weve been derogatory that we do it and we dont need to add new people to this pool. [please stand by] interest issues such as millimeter and housing. I want to tell you my story. 15 years ago, i was a Family Caregiver for two people in my family and i was working full time at the time with good Health Insurance the two places i went to look for coping with my Mental Health, caregiver stress, it was a lot of bureaucracy and would have loved it if there was an office of private insurance with accountability at that time to help me navigate this. Moving on, supervisor hainey, i liked what you said about a housing component in this, because you might have read the story in the sunday examiner about James Johnson who has been living in a Sobering Centre for 16 months because theres no placement for him. Theres no Supportive Housing placement for him. I have been on the board of organization providing the housing and another thing i would love to see is for the people or case managers who work with some of societys hardest clientelle who makes 45,000 a year and that is simply not enough. Thank you. Good afternoon and thank you for all that you do. I think it demonstrates meeting individuals in need, when in need and at the level in which its needed. I think the individuals need to feel safe with available and qualified First Response teaches. Teams the individuals on the Response Teams are adequate to make assessments that are clientcentered and not dictated. The blueprint also asks for wages that are adequate for Case Management and healthy providers to live and substain themselves in San Francisco. Its time to stop giving this money to nonprofits that are putting them into sros, that are turning into Containment Zones of death. Its time to put it where the First Responders are. We need people peer piers to pi. We need people with experience. I have 15 years experience. This system is taking down me. That is not acceptable. I wont call out the Mayors Office. Ill do that another time but im asking you stand independently based on the response i received from dr. Kolfax on the 23rd of september. We have time to take San Francisco back, put us back on the map and in public view as a place to visit and not to be afraid of and we need to encourage trainings to promote qualitied staff to handle the ones that are already currently being housed. Thank you. I look forward to seeing you at the convention. My name is vlad. I live in San Francisco and i just want to say thank you all for getting together and thank you to everybody for speaking. Mental health affect sals all os equally and im tired of seeing my local brothers and sisters on the streets, not having a place to live or anything to eat or any way of getting help outside of begging on the streets and turned away, so thank you all. I hope this pans out and i really hope this is in isnt anr merrygo round and lets get this passed. Good afternoon. Im a Patient Navigator at the Community Health center known asasasapi wellness and people le myself that are hiv positive need Mental Health care and a system of care for all. It is because of this didnt because i am one of those people that need it and because i work with so many others that need it that i want to thank you for taking the time to acknowledge that and for being the voice in which it is needed so that this bill can pass. So i want to thank you. Thank you so much. applause . Good afternoon. My name is andy stone. Im a San Francisco resident of d9 and im here with the San Francisco aids foundation and advocacy network. I wanted to talk briefly about the citys commitment to getting to zero. Zero hiv transmissions, zero hiv related deaths and stigma. This is an issue that impacts all of us. I particularly wanted to lift up People Living with hiv and Mental Health care needs. People who are here and around in sanfrancisco when the epidemic first hit experienced a lot of trauma and lost a lot of their social support networks and to this day, they have a lot of really complex pyschosocial needs, including access to Mental Health services. They fought for future generations to be able to survive. And now, its our turn to fight and to support them. We cant get to zero unless we address this crisis. Part of that is acknowledging there are dozens people who die every year by suicide and thats unacceptable. I wanted to talk briefly about people who use drugs and how they deserve nonjudgmental services. Many experience a lot of trauma on the street and oftentimes use substances to survive. Every year we see hundreds of folks who die from overdose. Its in our state, city in psychiatry wandwe have to addre. With Harm Reduction services, they respect dignity and im super excited and in full support of Mental Health to support universal access to Mental Health services and also Substance Use services, right . We need more of both of these and they have to be harmreduction based. I stand here strongly in support of this initiative and i am excited to see this. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im ken tray, retired High School Teacher and today im representing the us united educators of San Francisco. Youve heard from other uesf voices but we cant say how important Mental Health usf is. San francisco has at least 2500 students who are living who are homeless or in housing duress. We know those families are under economic pressure, obviously housing pressure, and teachers and paraeducators see that and feel that in their classrooms. And just like we need Wraparound Services to bring our schools up to the place they need to be all of our students, our kids also need the kind of Wraparound Services for their families and often themselves that will give them a fighting chance to succeed in life. On a personal note, theres a guy named bob who lives on the corner of my block and he has sought services from the city and he got into an sro and he said it was such a hell hole of fear and just an outofcontrol atmosphere he prefers living in the street. This is a guy who sits around and reads dashel hamet and he needs help and allows bob to be living on our sidewalks. Hello and good evening. Im michael blakemoore and im here with tara. You havent heard her yet. Im here on behalf of road dogs. We tried very much to try to help the homeless artists, but i would like to put forth putting up housing for the workers here, stop having them come from far away just to come here to work. The homeless, they need housing. Were piling up everywhere, as far as i dont know if i should, but i had a situation with st. Anthonys not too long ago and rather than look at the camera and Pay Attention to what was on the camera, were they cake and piled up on me. And there still hasnt been anything about that, because they made sure to state that they i mean as far as workers helping the homeless, that made sure to state that they were doing better than the homeless. And thats no way for st. Anthony or christians to present themselves. Look into it. While changing healthcare, not handcuffs are part of the Public Policy and Community Organizing and the president of American Federation of teacher 12121 were arrested outside of this hall and could not speak here today. I urge you to support Mental Health sfc so all can access care they need when they need it without the care of income. Treating the Mental Health crisis without income is cruel and costly. We must support our frontline workers and delivering healthcare to all who needs it. Th,and our students in support f making Mental Health sf real for our city now. Now sarah short says, and i quote, healthcare, not handcuffs. Thank you, any a member of the public who has spoken that wishes to speak. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I just want to tell you from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you for your beautiful inspiring words. Thank you for having been in this fight a lot longer than i have and for sticking with it and thank you for teaching us so much about what we need to do right and how to be a model, not only for our region but our state and for our country. We are 100 committed to seeing this through. Hopefully, we like if any of you had asked, we can Reach Agreement with the Mayors Office and get it implemented sooner rather than later. I think thats something we would all love to see. But like others have said, it has to be the big bold vision, the universal system that we allallall need and want. Hopefully we will get there and one way or another, well be passing this or put it in the hand of the voters with this measure thats officially placed on the ballot. We can always take it off but before november 27th, but as of today, this hearing has been heard and were about to file it, but i wanted to see if my colleagues have any other comments before we close this hearing and, really, in order to put this measure on the plot, matt and i needed two other supervisors to sign on with us and supervisors marr and walton stepped up to the plate and didnt hesitate or waiver. They said we know what this needs and we trust the community and labor and we trust our colleagues who have been working nonstop on this. So please just express your extreme appreciation to them. I certainly wanted to express it publically. Thank you, supervisor marr, for being there every step of the way and thank you so much. Any other comments . Seeing none, i will make a motion to file this hearing and without objection, that motion passes. [cheers and applause] madam clerk, any other items. That completes the agenda for today . Then the meeting is adjourned. Growing up in San Francisco has been way safer than growing up other places we we have that bubble, and its still that bubble that its okay to be whatever you want to. You can let your free flag fry he fly here. As an adult with autism, im here to challenge peoples idea of what autism is. My journey is not everyones journey because every autistic child is different, but theres hope. My background has heavy roots in the bay area. I was born in san diego and adopted out to San Francisco when i was about 17 years old. I bounced around a little bit here in high school, but ive always been here in the bay. We are an inclusive preschool, which means that we cater to emp. We dont turn anyone away. We take every child regardless of race, creed, religious or ability. The most common thing i hear in my adult life is oh, you dont seem like you have autism. You seem so normal. Yeah. Thats 26 years of really, really, really hard work and i think thises that i still do. I was one of the first open adoptions for an lgbt couple. They split up when i was about four. One of them is partnered, and one of them is not, and then my biological mother, who is also a lesbian. Very queer family. Growing up in the 90s with a queer family was odd, i had the bubble to protect me, and here, i felt safe. I was bullied relatively infrequently. But i never really felt isolated or alone. I have known for virtually my entire life i was not suspended, but kindly asked to not ever bring it up again in first grade, my desire to have a sex change. The school that i went to really had no idea how to handle one. One of my parents is a little bit gender nonconforming, so they know what its about, but my parents wanted my life to be safe. When i have all the neurological issues to manage, that was just one more to add to it. I was a weird kid. I had my core group of, like, very tight, like, three friends. When we look at autism, we characterize it by, like, lack of eye contact, what i do now is when im looking away from the camera, its for my own comfort. Faces are confusing. Its a lack of mirror neurons in your brain working properly to allow you to experience empathy, to realize where somebody is coming from, or to realize that body language means that. At its core, autism is a social disorder, its a neurological disorder that people are born with, and its a big, big spectrum. It wasnt until i was a teenager that i heard autism in relation to myself, and i rejected it. I was very loud, i took up a lot of space, and it was because mostly taking up space let everybody else know where i existed in the world. I didnt like to talk to people really, and then, when i did, i overshared. I was very difficult to be around. But the friends that i have are very close. I click with our atypical kiddos than other people do. In experience, i remember when i was five years old and not wanting people to touch me because it hurt. I remember throwing chairs because i could not regulate my own emotions, and it did not mean that i was a bad kid, it meant that i couldnt cope. I grew up in a family of behavioral psychologists, and i got development cal developmental psychology from all sides. I recognize that my experience is just a very small picture of that, and not everybodys in a position to have a family thats as supportive, but theres also a community thats incredible helpful and wonderful and open and there for you in your moments of need. It was like two or three years of conversations before i was like you know what . Im just going to do this, and i went out and got my prescription for hormones and started transitioning medically, even though i had already been living as a male. I have a twoyearold. The person who im now married to is my husband for about two years, and then started gaining weight and wasnt sure, so i we went and talked with the doctor at my clinic, and he said well, testosterone is basically birth control, so theres no way you can be pregnant. I found out i was pregnant at 6. 5 months. My whole mission is to kind of normalize adults like me. I think ive finally found my calling in early intervention, which is here, kind of what we do. I think the access to irrelevant care for parents is intentionally confusing. When i did the procespective search for autism for my own child, it was confusing. We have a place where children can be children, but its very confusing. I always out myself as an adult with autism. I think its helpful when you know where can your child go. How im choosing to help is to give children that would normally not be allowed to have children in the same respect, kids that have three times as much work to do as their peers or kids who do odd things, like, beach therapy. How do speech therapy. How do you explain that to the rest of their class . I want that to be a normal experience. I was working on a certificate and kind of getting think Early Childhood credits brefore i started working here, and we did a section on transgender inclusion, inclusion, which is a big issue here in San Francisco because we attract lots of queer families, and the teacher approached me and said i dont really feel comfortable or qualified to talk about this from, like, a cisgendered straight persons perspective, would you mind talking a little bit with your own experience, and im like absolutely. So im now one of the guest speakers in that particular class at city college. I love growing up here. I love what San Francisco represents. The idea of leaving has never occurred to me. But its a place that i need to fight for to bring it back to what it used to be, to allow all of those little kids that come from really unsafe environments to move somewhere safe. What ive done with my life is work to make all of those situations better, to bring a little bit of light to all those kind of issues that were still having, hoping to expand into a little bit more of a Resource Center, and this Resource Center would be more those new parents who have gotten that diagnosis, and we want to be this one centralized place that allows parents to breathe for a second. I would love to empower from the bottom up, from the kid level, and from the top down, from the teacher level. So many things that i would love to do that are all about changing peoples minds about certain chunts, like the Transgender Community or the autistic community. I would like my daughter to know theres no wrong way to go through life. Everybody experiences pain and grief and sadness, and that all of those things are temporary. Good morning, everyone. I am william rogers, i am the president and c. E. O. Of goodwill San Francisco san mateo. [cheers and applause] [laughter]
