Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I understand supervisor brown is supportive of this license, so i think we can direct our clerk to prepare a resolution determining the license will meet public and necessity and move we forward that to the full board with positive recommendation, and we can take that without objection. Mr. Clerk. Next it item. Number two, condemning the increase of racial profiling and discrimination harassment for people of color for suspicion of or denial of services bade on the individuals race, age, ethnicity, language, gender, Sexual Orientation or immigration status, national origin. This resolution is being submitted due to the increase of people of color being targeted and profiled. We want to bring racial profiling and discrimination, harassment to an end so that no individual will be targeted for suspicion of crime or denial of Services Based on the individuals faith, age, ethnicity, language, gender, Sexual Orientation, immigration status and natural origin. It is our commitment on the board of supervisors to take responsibility and work towards the prevention of discrimination in all of its form and treat all of our residents with dignity and respect. We urge companies to commit to provide bias training, training employees to provide customers with information on how to file a discrimination complaint, and companies committing to investigate any allegations of discrimination. Should our Business Partners have profile without correction, the city will call for a boycott of that business, or lean towards other measures to ensure that all people are treated fairly. And i dont have, there is supposed to be a representative here that i dont see in the audience. Could we go to Public Comment . Certainly. We have Public Comment on this item. We have angela j. , and any other members of the public who would like to speak on this item, line up on the right of the room. Your right, our left. Thank you. Thank you very much. And good morning, chairman, and speaking in favor of the resolution for racial profiling and the discrimination, and thank you for bringing this to the board of supervisors. I represent sf interrupting racial profiling. A group of volunteers to prevent discrimination to people of color in the city. Much like the resolution we seek to address discrimination against people of color. Through our own resolution in our resolution we were looking to see if there could be more bite sanctioning. Our resolution we asked for a little more intrusiveness is not to the way, to the way that people are tracked, trailed or stalked. On someones radar, none of us need to be on anyones radar. We are going to submit to you today our resolution, which is looking into the state changing its stalking laws, possibly creating a trayvon tracking law. Trayvon martin himself was a victim what we call bias by proxy. Our individual obsessed with this young mans past. Some of the Violent Crimes are death by violence by proxy, Racial Discrimination can be prevented if we have strong or state laws, so when we submit our resolution to you today we are hoping that youll look into our trayvon tracking law. It will be very important that we make sure everyone is allowed to walk on the streets unobserved, unescorted and under their own recognizance. Thank you. Thank you. I believe i neglected to note folks have, thank you for sticking to two minutes. I did not let folks know we have two minutes for Public Comment, first and last name clearly and speak directly into the microphone. If you have a written statement, leave it for the clerk for inclusion in the file. No applause or booing. Good morning. John goldsmith, 146 noi street and i support this item. I would humbly suggest an amendment or addendum to include religion or perceived religion because that is also a part of racial profiling and discrimination and harassment. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello, my name is dr. Aryan aroy, a Community MentalHealth Psychologist for 25 years. And my Academic Research was focussed on the criminalization of men of color, nonnegotiated timeout. Return and release of prisoners to american society. It has been sensored on google since 2009, so my research, a decade of local investigation has been buried. What i do want to say is i really am glad to hear about this resolution. I think that there needs to be Public Education about how we treat each other as a society, that we are one human family and its not enough to assume that people have good will. They have been conditioned by the media where aggressive images have been paired with people of color and people have been conditioned to fear people of different ethnicity and races and nationalities. So, this is a very, very deep rooted problem. We need also focus on solutions, with the schools and funding education generously in all neighborhoods and diverse education, Vocational Education that we have largely abandoned. Abandoned the youth of all color, millennials are jobless or go and work for uber or lyft because they cant get a job or they live at home and uber and lyft are spearing exhaust 24 7. The second recommendation is to open up recreation and Community Centers in every neighborhood where people can come for support, including prenatal support and Family Support with individuals who are experts and people who have lived experience. We need to come together as a more informed community to turn this around. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hi, my name is josh clip, i was just wondering in terms of condemning of increasing and profiling and harassment if it could also include gender identity, the reason i raise this, trans women of color are perhaps one of the most discriminated against and most subject to violence, most vulnerable communities we have in this city. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public who would like to speak on this item before i close Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Thank you, chair, and one of our major partners is the Human Rights Commission, i wanted to bring up brittany from the Human Rights Commission to speak on this issue and address why it is so important. Thank you, brittany. Thank you, supervisor walton. Good morning, supervisors. Im the acting chief of staff at the Human Rights Commission which is the Civil Rights Enforcement Agency for the city and county. And im here on behalf of our executive director cheryl davis and want to thank you, supervisor walton for hosting this conversation and the invitation to join it today and discuss the volumes in particular, the volume of complaints they have investigated regarding racial profiling in the context of 911 calls. Our agency does not have enforcement jurisdiction to mediate complaints of racial profiling in 911 calls or bias police encounter. When we do receive those, we forward such complaints to accountability or provide reference to legal aid attorneys to the complainant. This past february we had a Commission Meeting on the same topic and we invited a number of Community Members, including Angela Jenkins from interrupting racial justice, had the Police Department, d. E. M. And other Community Organizations come and speak out, and essentially our commissioners and the public recommended some consequences for bias 911 calls and bias, or excuse me, racial profiling for folks making 911 calls. So, the conclusion was, when people use the police as their personal security because they feel uncomfortable or inconvenienced to be around a person who is different from them, the consequences can be fatal. And so racial profiling, when making a 911 call, is really exploitation of the Public Safety system. And the reality not to diminish the reason why people call 911 or theory that all responders to 911 are entering a scenario of carrying bias. We really need to think more upstream about what initiated the call and what prejudice that person making a frivolous 911 call is bringing to the table when they mischaracterize what they are experiencing. And so i know throughout the resolution, referenced 911 equals people are using it as an inherent threat, and to demonstrate an inherent power dynamic with a person not conforming to what one is asking them to do, so saying i will call 911 unless you do x, y and z. So we want our city to continue to be diverse, vibrant, beautiful, socially and culturally diverse, and not be driven by fear. That drives us apart and not unlike the consequences that are associated with our sanctuary city policy or our profiling policy around national origin. We are asking for a similar consequence for bias 911 calls and so what that would look like is a couple asks, one would be increased d. E. M. Training, so that our police are not enforcing the bias that drove the 911 call in the first place. Because even sfpd rep, the lieutenant who spoke at the hearing, every officer cannot control what Services People call for, and so some additional training for the d. E. M. Responders who are meeting with the complainant. And also recommended we have some campaigns encouraging better engagement, both with our neighbors and police and visibility in that way. And lastly, a penalty for folks who make the 911 calls, and an example out of the state of oregon, Legislature Passed a policy that requires, or excuse me, that fines a person who dials a 911 call, its proven the 911 call was made on the basis of bias or racism by includes national origin, gender identity and race. So we, from the Human Rights Commission would ask the supervisors consider some simulation legislation and happy to work in partnership with you to exact that legislation. Thank you, brittany. I think so a couple of things. Just a quick statement. Supervisor mandelman. Issues of bias and lack of cultural understanding can ruin someones life. Unnecessary Law Enforcement action can lead to so many opportunities for a negative experience. Just this past weekend i was bowling with some friends and families and daily city, and someone with us decide to bowl after their time was up, which is wrong, we know it was wrong, and the employee at the Bowling Alley immediately came over and said for that person to stop. We have a cop in the building. That was the statement from the employee after someone who was with us decided to bowl after time was expired. To stop bowling. We have a cop in the building. Went straight to the Law Enforcement response, straight to that type of a statement. So, these are the things that we deal with when it comes to cultural biasses, and also when it comes to the very real experience of when and why would you involve Law Enforcement. And the necessity. There was no aggression, there was no hostility from anyone who was with us in the group, definitely wrong to bowl after the expired time, but threatening a cop after an action like that, that does not correlate to the kind of response you deserve to have when Something Like that happens. Which could really lead to a dire consequence, so we really have to work hard to make sure that our businesses, our residents, folks in community really understand when and why you bring in Law Enforcement, but also do not use this as a tool to try and enforce your own beliefs, your own will, etc. And so i want to be clear, the intent of this resolution and why its important because we see so many instances like that now that exist. Also after, i dont know if my colleagues have statements, but i will continue this item because i do want to look at other resolutions and see what additions can go in here to make the resolution stronger, and of course make sure that our intended concerns are addressed within the resolution and work with h. R. C. On some attached legislation to put more teeth into what we want to accomplish here because we really need to Work Together to get more cultural understanding so we dont cause harm to individuals and communities and do things and get excessive with bringing in Law Enforcement or doing anything that would bring harm to anyone in community, and so i will ask to continue this to the call of chair for the future. Supervisor stefani. Thank you for bringing this legislation forward, happy to support it today and follow up on some of the comments from Public Comment, whether or not gender and Sexual Orientation properly covers gender identity, i think thats an important point and the religion aspect of it. Religion aspect, page two, lines 79 and 1719, a lot of people also act when they see people of different religions in a way similar to the way you are speaking of today, and also on the Trayvon Martin case with that in florida, the stand your ground law that made that deadly when you have people like the n. R. A. Pushing forward stand your ground, we are lucky we dont have it in california, but these laws that allow people to shoot first and ask questions later have to be erased, too, so, thank you supervisor walton for bringing this forward. Im happy to support it. Great, and i would also thank you, supervisor walton, and ask that you work to try to include gender identity and religion. And i believe you made a motion to continue this to the call of the chair, and we will take that without objection. Mr. Clerk. The next item. Resolution establishing the creation of a vision 0 on homicides and Violent Crimes plan [emergency evacuation alarm is ringing] everyone please exit in a safe and orderly manne everyone, from the brief intermission. There was a member of the public not able to speak on item two and was detained trying to get into the building, so im going to make a motion we rescind the vote on item 2 and take that without objection and then we are going to reopen Public Comment but only for the purpose of allowing folks who were not able to speak during Public Comment to address the committee. Anyone who was not able to speak on item two before we invite you to come on up and speak. You have two minutes. Yes, yes. Ok. Thank you for making this exception. My name is marty j, member of interrupting racial profiling. Here to endorse supervisor waltons resolution condemning the increase of racial profiling and discrimination harassment. Also i urge the Committee Support of our resolution calling for example nation and measurement of the committees, the communitys contribution to bias policing as presented by our director earlier, Angela Jenkins. San francisco interrupting racial profiling tracks racial profiling in the San Francisco community and in online crime and safety apps such as next door, citizen and amazon ring. We have been alarmed if he proliferation of incidents against people of color, especially black people and the lack of racial bias oversight in these venues. From the frightening encounters with folks targeted for being black to the racial profiling online to high numbers of 911 calls implicating black people, we believe intervention is urgently needed. In june 2018 a Community Member harassed an 8yearold black girl in her neighborhood for selling water without a permit on a hot day. July 18th sorry, then called 911 to report her. July 2018, black entrepreneur Victor Stevenson was opening his business in the mission when he was approached by thats two minutes, oh. By several officers, one with a hand on his gun. Im going to skip a little bit ahead. Online Community App next doorposts frequently identifying individuals with vague description, young black men, thugs, ghetto types, etc. And calls for service sighting black individuals have averaged thank you. You can you can submit that for the record. Thank you. Public comment on this item is now closed. Supervisor walton, you had made a motion to continue the call of the chair. Make that motion again . Correct, move to continue. Great, take that without objection. I believe item three had already been called. Thank you so much. Item three, here to talk about our vision 0 plan for homicides and Violent Crimes in San Francisco. Each community is very different and unique and has its particular set of circumstances and dynamics. A Community Plan should utilize racial equity, culturally responsive and delivered using a traumainformed approach. To break the cycle of unfulfilled promises and generate for momentum of the vision 0 homicide and Violent Crimes plan we propose several things occur and the issues and solutions are raised so communities can together come up with community solutions. These plans will serve to further align all stakeholders who Work Together to address safety. This year alone, from january to july, the bayview had seven homicides, 17 nonfatal shooting incidents and 55 shootings with no injuries. This is not acceptable and we hope to Bring Solutions to the long going problems of violence in communities we live. We know from Community Reports many incidents of violence also go unreported. And seen assaults on seniors, many people of color, and other Violent Crimes that must be stopped. I just want to highlight some of the focusses and goals of vision 0 for homicide and Violent Crimes plan. San francisco recognizes the need for Violence Prevention Programs, each neighborhood is unique and a safety plan by neighborhood best to address violence. We want to target communities with limited access to opportunity and institutional power where Violent Crimes occur. In particular, marginallized communities who dont have a voice into the process of a safety plan and make sure they have opportunity to be heard through neighborhood meetings and targeted outreach. We want to mobilize City Departments, nonprofits, svip Community Members and stakeholders and reaching this vision 0 goal. Excuse me, and svip is street violence intervention program. We want to bring all stakeholders together to plan and address safety that ensures we are not duplicating services and target unmet areas. Assist in Gathering Community input of what is needed and a neighborhood safety plan. We need to hear from the community with the issues to be addressed are, and what the solutions the community can come up with to collectively address safety. We need Trauma Informed Services and Mental Health support for victims, families and Community Members. We also want to identify district specific violence prevention coordinators to lead in the planning. Each community and neighborhood should have a coordinator and we are hoping the city will support what the resources to make this happen. Provide a plan with the department of children, youth and families and San FranciscoUnified School District to address students impacted by violence. We must address students who are going to school dealing with the trauma from violence in their communities, and in their homes. Expand opportunities for all, and make sure that we have the jobs to help connect youth to job stunts and services. Work with the Police Department to coordinate outreach for Community Hot spots, and based on crime data and reporting. Address lighting in certain areas and identify places that need to be made safer for pedestrians. And hear a little about this. Violent crime is definitely down in San Francisco but we need to have all hands on deck to address the senzless violence that is taking place here in our city. Well hear a little from representatives of s. F. Safe and the Police Department in a second. But i do just want to highlight the number of homicides between january 1st of this year and july 19th. At that point in time, 23 homicides, which is of course down from several years ago, but any death, any homicide is a tragedy and we want to make sure we do everything we can to make sure these dont happen at all. We have 42 nonfatal shooting incidents, and, excuse me, nonfatal but with injury, and we had 103 shooting incidents without injury. And last ill say i had a round table last night with some young men from one of our hope s. F. Sites, ten young men who are from Public Housing here in San Francisco, have lived in communities where there have been increased violence and have had to see and suffer through some trauma. And the one common denominator and clear about, what they wanted to see in the community. Every ask came down to having something productive to do and places to go, and vision 0 intends to make sure that that happens. With that said, i dont know if my colleagues have anything they want to say before i bring up a couple of folks to present. With that said, im going to bring up representative from s. F. Safe, miss kara worthy, who is the executive director and then we will also hear some remarks from captain dangerfield with the San FranciscoPolice Department. Good eefrn good afternoon, how are you . A nonprofit funded by the San FranciscoPolice Department and other private entities and foundations. Working with supervisor waltons office on this safety plan around homicides and violence. Supervisor walton is committed to all voices of the community and like he said last night, we did have some conversations with the ten young men in the community and plan on doing so throughout the entire district. We have had a few town Hall Meetings which included round table from every aspect of the district and brought together City Department heads and resources that folks felt like they walked away with something tangible that addressed their concerns or complaints and had a followup document afterward in 30 days to give folks faith that the city did have a system to give back to them and that they did care. So, through his office, through supervisor waltons office we have secured funding for a safety coordinator to facilitate and implement this plan. And working with other district supervisors to have the coordinator and their offices as well. A lot of the directs are the directs most prevalent with having crime and coordination and support. Our, most of our findings have been more services for young adults and youth. Job Training Programs and various communities a the bayview, more ambassadors in the community for, along muni and safe passages, crossing barriers, and a coordinated plan with the city, Service Providers and the Police Department. And also like they said, we want to make sure the Services Offered to the community, the Community Knows about. And that they are relevant and accessible and make sure that everyone understands what supervisors role is in the community once they receive funding. We want to be able to have that avenue in a way for feedback to be provided. And so we also know a lot of crime goes unreported due to language, due to their relationship with the Police Department, just how they feel about Law Enforcement in general. And so through these plans we hope to bring a voice and address these neighborhood concerns and individuals and also address with language capacity, race and feeling comfortable, by providing a safe place for folks who have those conversations. Vision 0 plan will also call for collaboration between departments of best service to the community, and also 2way street when we have the feedback and conversation about the needs and how we want to move forward and calls for us to facilitate the partnerships. Having a person like myself, can help be a mediator and facilitator at the same time. So, safe is helping the communities impacted by violence. Before myself coming to safe it did not have that focus, but dealing with different neighborhoods and hearing the constituents speak in each of the neighborhoods, we have Neighborhood Watch or work with businesses, we feel there is avoid and being that we are a Safety Awareness for everyone, everyone is included in the community, means we are comfortable moving forward with the plan. We look forward to working with the Supervisors Office on this collective work and including everybody along the way. Thank you so much, miss worthy. Any questions or comments . Thank you. Thanks. With that said, hear from captain dangerfield, the captain at the bayview station. Good evening, supervisors. Captain Troy Dangerfield from bayview station. Very proud to be serving there, i group in the area, and Community Engagement and around the city. Violence is something we all want to prevent. I think that us working together to have a plan is the best thing that can happen for all the citizens of San Francisco. Especially in district t10, thee is still violence. Violence is down but if you got robbed yesterday it does not matter. And Creative Ideas like you are talking about, that really does help to make sure that everyone stays safe. Community is about everybody, policing is about everybody. So, communities can police as well as the police can. We are not everywhere, we wish we could be everywhere but we are not. If we come up with plans to Work Together, that we can, when they see things they let us know, they develop their own groups so they can contact us and have clear descriptions of things. Knowing, letting them know where all the hot spots are in the areas, so that they, too, can be aware when things dont look right, they can man together, call us and work as a team. To create a plan that reduces violence, not just in district 10 but all over the city. I think the Police Department is always reducing violence in any part of the city. Thank you, captain dangerfield. Any comments or questions for captain dangerfield . Just ask a quick question. I think this is great and im happy to cosponsor this, and in the resolve clauses we talk about the Police Department working with s. F. Safe to implement appropriate use of cameras in corridors and hot spots to deter crime and i just, you know im thinking about the last homicide in San Francisco was a Domestic Violence homicide of a 20yearold woman. I was wondering, i feel if we could put something in the resolution about working with Domestic Violence groups, i dont know, supervisor walton, just thought of this, apologize for not thinking about it. But as we were, as you were presenting i thought this seems, Domestic Violence seems to be missing in this, if there is a way we can add some language. I dont know how you feel about that, or how you currently work with either the San FranciscoDomestic Violence consortium or what we might add to that that would at least put that in this resolution. If you have any thoughts, supervisor. Well, im definitely 100 in support of that, and we can Work Together on what exact language well put in as we, when we bring the resolution to the full board well have that amendment and language ready. Perfect, thank you. Thank you, captain dangerfield. And just briefly want to say as we know this is really a citywide issue, and our attempt is to work to curtail, prevent and avoid all violence and make sure that plans exist within communities where different types of violence occurs. So, Domestic Violence definitely is at the forefront of one of the things we want to make sure we prevent, along with the shootings, along with murders, stabbings, and thats why this plan is really specific to all communities across San Francisco. Violence looks different in some areas, so we have to make sure our approaches address the type of violence that exists in some of our communities, and i think to thank captain dangerfield for being here today and just note chief scott, not to speak for the chief but he did attend our press conference for vision 0 on homicide and Violent Crime, is in support of the resolution as was represented by him showing up to the conference and speaking in support, so i want to thank the entire Police Department as we talk about violence prevention and coming up with strategies and plans to end violence there is a Community Response thats needed, theres a Police Response thats needed, theres a response from everyone that we need to include and so now im glad that i was able to talk long enough so i can bring up one of our Community Partners miss valerie, to talk on behalf of the Mission Peace collaborative and some of the work that they are doing to curtail violence and their support of vision 0 for homicides and Violent Crimes planned. Thank, miss tuliard. Good morning. And good morning, audience. My name is valerie tuliard, here to speak about how we address violence in our community, the mission district. So, i want to say first of all three main components are community driven, community implemented, and community led. One of the most important things to address violence is Community Knows whats best for itself. And we have a collective called the Mission Peace collaborative. The Mission Peace collaborative receives nothing from the cities whatsoever but a collective of volunteers who work at mission youthserving agencies to address violence. And so one of the things that we have through the Mission Peace collaborative is a crisis response, and so when there is violence we immediately get together and go through a protocol. This has been copy written, and so i do want to say one that we look at the situation, we call people who are directly involved with the incident. We dont open it up to the public, we dont open it up to the larger body of the Mission Peace collaborative. We assess the event that happened and then we assign a family liaison to help the family accessing services and then we also access a liaison from the San FranciscoViolence Prevention Program here. And then after that we begin assessing what are the needs of the family members. Do they need Mental Health services, do they need victims of Crime Services and began to start that protocol. Another key thing unique to our protocol is cultural appropriate practices, which means we ask always permission from the family. We never do this in the isolated incident. We ask the family, and then we ask them do they want something spiritual, and come to the site and do a blessing. So we do it in a way it helps heal the family and do it with the permission of the family. The Mission Peace collaborative also organizes peace rallies. We just had one last friday, and gathered at 16th and mission, and promote the positive message of peace, and even though this is controversial, i will share it with you, we also tell them what we call codes, street codes. Dont do violence in front of churches, dont do violence in front of elder, dont do violence at Community Centers. So, you have to have some type of ethics around the violence, we dont promote the violence and want to keep the institutions and places sacred. They have to be safe and neutral areas, particularly Community Organizations. Now, one of the things that i felt that was very unique to this past peace rally, we have partners. One of the partners is five keys, and they do work in the jails. While we are organizing the rally outside, they are organizing in the jails and got close to 100 inmates to sign a peace pledge, and i just want to end by saying this. One of them sent what they call a kite a note to us. And they said we believe that violence is any thought or action that suppresses in its intent or its result. We are committed to stopping our violence and changing the way we think and behave in order to restore and rebuild our communities. And this comes from the a pod county jail number two inmates. That is beautiful. And those inmates are there for Violent Crimes but they understood that. And the peace pledge they are saying yeah, we are guilty, we messed up but guess what, we also support what you are doing and we are going to strive to come out and do better for our communities. So i want to end with that note. Thank you very much for your time. Appreciate it. Thank you so much. Any questions or comments from colleagues . I just want to thank you for the work you do, and you know, it really is moving to folks in prison through five keys participating as well. So, anyway im impressed. Thank you, and before we go to Public Comment, i do just want to say, i want to thank s. F. Safe for including violence prevention in their strategies to keep our Community Safe and specifically want to thank executive director kara worthy. Not only resources in the communities to prevent violence but she actually attends convenings in the community, and she was with me and the young men last night, tells her commitment and dedication for eliminating violence. Thank you so her, to captain dangerfield and sfpd for true policing strategies and working to really address violence in the way we are, our officers are part of our community, and not just showing up for response, but actually spending time working in community, working with young people, working with our seniors. So, we are going to continue to build off of that relationship and i want to show that appreciation, and of course, valerie with the Mission Peace collaborative for showcasing whats happening and the communities, had an opportunity to attend that community rally last week, along with supervisor haney, supervisor ronen, and other leaders across the city. Of course, more importantly, it was good to see our young people and our representatives from community in attendance, talking about how we want to Work Together, talking about going back to when we had sacred spaces here in our community and i know we are going to hear from other members of community and Public Comment. Folks that are also other partners we work with like five keys and so we look forward to hearing some of the other work we are doing to go in Public Comment. With that, i will call for Public Comment. Anyone who wants to speak on item number three. We do have angela j. , anyone else line up on the right. Your right, our left. And ill repeat, Public Comment rules, two minutes. We ask you state your first and last name and speak directly into the microphone. If you have written statements, leave them with the clerk for inclusion in the file. We ask folks not applause or boo, and avoid repetition of previous statements. Good afternoon. Good morning. My name is Michael Brown, im one of the partners that valerie was talking about, five keys. Im the one who got the peace pledges ha pledges from the min inmates, i work i work in custody with specifically the transitional aged youth in jail. Most of them for Violent Crimes. To support this vision 0 i got peace pledges signed from them. They agreed to commit to nonviolence during their incarceration and more importantly when they get out. Now that i think about it, im going to ask for the peace pledges back briefly so i can print them and put them as a part of their reentry plan to remind them and hold them accountable to the peace they signed, the agreement. I feel we need to Work Together to provide services to the people in custody so that, so that when they do reenter society, do come back home they feel supported and the resources they need to keep them out and stay out. As part of the vision 0 plan i want to work to include the voice of our forgotten inmates who are still a part of our communities. So, please reach out to me, whatever i can do in custody to help with this vision 0, let me know and ill be glad to get it done. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Dont have to. Hi, diane, and i want to say i came here to listen and learn and speak about another issue, but sitting there and hearing the proposal i just felt the need to stand up here as a citizen, certainly as a white bodied citizen to stand and show support and so i would say that i would support and endorse establishing vision 0 on homicides and Violent Crimes plan. I used to be a Public High School teacher in miami and we had a lot of space then and i worked in the arts, and the arts was a place people could come and talk about their feelings and i was in miami at a time that the racial tension was very intense back in the early 1990s and a lot of our students were abused by the police and its very close to my heart. I have not been in miami for a while now, and i know the importance of those sacred safe spaces, so i like the part of your plan that talked about people needing to come someplace to do something, to be thriving, to be active, to grow, to love each other so that they can grow in ways and not be in spaces where they could be harassed. So, thanks for putting that on the table and appreciate being here. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello, my name is dr. Aryan aroy, i did my masters thesis on abusers objective and dissertation on prisoner reentry. I agree with the other two speakers and emphasize reentry needs to be considered on the first day someone is incarcerated. The problem at hand. Considering a problem with the hope of resolving it, we must consider causes. Violence must be considered a Public Health problem. Its a product of a society that has an unjust economy, powerful people dont pay their taxes or conduct legitmized violence that impacts millions of people. Where onethird of our society lives in poverty, and focus on the crimes of the indigent and people of color rather than those of corporations and the wealthy, who impact millions. Poverty comes powerlessness and the problem of gross economic disparity, we all know and very much in San Francisco, bitter anger, seething resentment and internalized violence that also gets demonstrated into the Domestic Violence, and it also is something that we can see is a problem that expresses itself in addiction, homelessness, and violence of all kinds, including speeding on our streets where people who are sitting behind their laptops all day or whatever go out and drive recklessly, another form of homicide that needs to be addressed. I ask you to look at a Restorative Justice model to create Education Campaign for billboards, create an understanding that tailgating and riding through crosswalks are homicide as well, the arts could be used to treat traumatic people in fully funded environments where we recognize the sanctity of all life, the most powerless thank you, next speaker. Good morning again, after the break. Im Angela Jenkins and a member of s. F. Interrupting racial profiling. I appreciate every resolution here today looking at violence, looking at hate crimes, the disproportionate amount of aggregated crimes against certain communities. Ill read the quote, they gave it to me, we believe that violence is any thought or action that is oppressive in its intent or result. So, violence can also be seen as imposing ones will on to another person. That can be a Domestic Violence, it can be in racial profiling as well. From our other speaker from the group so demonstrated when we are online and looking at people, we are obsessed with their movements, where they are going, but know nothing about them. We are being violent towards them. We are imposing our will, our way on that individual without merit. I, too, have been the victim of violence in San Francisco riding on a bus in muni. Hit in the head, the person jumped off. I survived. And many times that ive seen violence and witnesses. So, i guess in concluding, vision 0 towards homicides is essential. A lot of us who have been oppressed may internalize it, being in black bodies, may act out. But today when i step up again, i want to emphasize that violence consists of imposing ones will or way on to another person and continue to look at the way we communicate online, communicate in subject matter of community policing, that it, too, not be rife with violence towards an individual obsessed with tracking. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other member of the public would like to speak before i close Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Supervisor walton. Thank you, chair. I want to thank everyone from the community and everyone who came out and support of this conversation and support of our resolution to really address the violence that exists in our city. I want to thank Michael Brown for getting the pledges, from the folks who are incarcerated, because if we really see what we are trying to capture with vision 0 for homicides and Violent Crimes, we are trying to work with everybody, and this is allinclusive, allencompassing to get to the root causes of violence and to come up with strategies to end the violence that exists. So we have to work with everyone to get that done, and so i want to thank folks who also understand that people who have made mistakes need to be a part of this conversation if we are going to get anywhere. Also want to thank everyone who just came out and gave Public Comment and we have had conversations with folks who are like why the term vision 0, because we already have a vision 0 plan for Pedestrian Safety and for vehicle or incidences. Which is the purpose of why we chose vision 0 for this. We have to stop all violence. We have to put plans and strategies in place to address all types of violence, to address anything that leads to people being harmed, and being hurt. So, we took vision 0 so everyone would Pay Attention and make sure that they understand that. People are dying in our streets whether its from vehicles, whether its from stabbing, whether its from gunshots, whether its from, whats happening in homes and communities from Domestic Violence, we have people dying and assaulted on the streets. Vision 0 is all encompassings, all in all inclusive. We can address violence across San Francisco, do it equitably and culturally within community and with community in the league. So, thank you for hearing this item this afternoon and i see that supervisor has some comments. Thank you. I just wanted to thank you you, supervisor walton, and, for your leadership on these issues and putting forward the vision 0, the legislation creating vision 0 on homicides and Violent Crimes. And also thank all the Community Members and the Police Department and other City Departments that have worked with you on this and im really proud to cosponsor it. And i, and i commend you on sort of the comprehensive vision and telescope scope of this and i know it started a lot with incidents and issues within district ten and among your constituents which have been, who have been the most impacted by Violent Crime, but i appreciate that. Its a citywide plan and, because these issues indeed impact all the districts and all communities in our city. From my district, district 4, and also the Chinese Community citywide, Public Safety and crime is a major concern and even made more so by the shocking attack on the elders in chinatown, and the sunset district, two assaults of chinese members on the street that happened the last week as well. So, and and actually, so ive been sort of, ive been also grappling with these issues and working with my constituents, particularly in the Chinese Community and the sunset around these issues and did lead me to work with the Police Department on developing legislation that would require regular reporting on the demographics of crime victims citywide, and across the different types of crime, including property crime as well as Violent Crime and hatemotivated crime, seeing a huge surge in the last few years in San Francisco and nationally. And the initial data that we have gotten from the Police Department on the demographics of crime
