Draft proclamation that designating august as transgender History Month. I was inspired by the cafeteria riots on an august 9 in 1966. We dont know exactly what day it happened but we do know that it happened in august. I asked myself, why is it that we dont know what day it happened . It is monumental history. Why dont we know . The sad reality of it is that this monumental occurrence was so major and unlike anything that had ever occurred before at that scale in the United States , that an effort to eliminate it from records and existence ensued. It persisted. And because of it, watershed moments in the lbgtq Civil Rights Movement followed. Such as the stonewall riots of 1969. So, the idea transgender History Month began to take shape via this train of thought. I thought about black History Month and womens History Month. Now national low recognized months. And the essential education and awareness that they bring to the general masses every year. That knowledge is critical in bringing awareness and understanding of the struggles and history that have taken place to get where we are now. When i wrote this procolumnation i had the honor of serving as director of social Justice Empowerment Initiative the transgender district the worlds only legally recognized cultural district dedicated to the Transgender Community. Based in the tenderloin neighborhood. Grounded and rooted in the 55 to the event that is the cafeteria riot. With the guidance of president of the transgender district, we brought the proclamation to the office of transgender initiatives. Without the office transgender initiate evers, in their instrumental advocacy for transgender History Month to the Mayors Office. We would not be sitting here today. Director powell craigo wherever he is and the office of transgender initiatives serve a huge round of applause for determination to make this happen. In last but not least, transgender History Month would not have happened at all without the profound alliship of mayor breed. Yes. Round of applause. Mayor breed has proven time and time again her unwaivering alliship to the transgender communitiful dedication to support,up lift and empower San FranciscoTransgender Community. Mayor breed has set the bar for any mayor across any city in the United States on what it means to be inclusive and stand with the Transgender Community. And in what seemed to be a sign from the universe in our transs mir breed signed transgender History Month on august 24, 2021. On what would have been masha p. Johnsons 76th birthday. [applause] and just last year, Santa Clarita county adopted transgender History Month. Following San Franciscos leadership. Transgender history should not be understated. Transgender history helps us understand the shared struggled that bind us. How we are more alike than we are different. Whether or not [inaudible] or trans. Now t is imperative to lone in transgender history to understand the reemergence of extremists in violent antitransgender rhetoric that has taken a hold of National Politics the last few years. The a tax were seen against the transgender and gender Diverse Communities are not new. In fact, hay draw from the detectiveds of the 1970s and 80s that lead to the station of [inaudible] as a mental disorder. I quote, disease. Such developments rated systemic hurdles that hindered many transpeople from seek gender affirming Health Care Services and a better quality of life. The consequence manifested of trans people from society. Resulting in poverty, isolation, depression, unpreps dented transphobic violence and sickness. We must learn to guarantee a future defined by liberation. Transpeople have contributed a great deal to modern day society. Transpeople deserve to know they come from a lineage of thought leaders, pioneers and warriors. Our history is a vivid and captivating account of sack fireworks transformation, joy and a journey toward personal liberation.

And what i love so much in talking about San Francisco on such a special occasion is not just that our city is a resilient city because of the community what they represent in terms of the history the transgender movement, which really, truly was at the center of sparking a movement for lbgtq community and San Francisco as a city of firsts. When you think, people continue to talk about stonewall the first known movements in history that occurred in new york. And we all know in San Francisco, that if we dont talk about our history, if we dont put it out there, someone else will try to take credit for had we have done in San Francisco. In 1966, what happened here comptons riots is not elevated and documented and talked about and celebrated the first movements in the lbgtq movement not just the transgender and the drag queen move inspect all of the movements combined, this is where it started in San Francisco because of this community. As i talk about San Francisco being a city of first i came from 150th Year Anniversary celebration of the cable car. It is 150 years first cable car invented the only still in San Francisco. And San Francisco really is a city of firsts. First cable car. First television invent in the San Francisco. We condition. The clap on San Francisco invented that. Which created this door for technology and opportunity and the which ia pet the guy who invented the clap on. Why do we talk about this . Because when it happens in San Francisco it takes flight. And here in San Francisco we started with not just the first office of transgender initiatives, but it went on along with so many great leaders that were mentioned including honey and others to start a transgender district. To really Work Together with our Transgender Advisory Committee to put forth initiatives to not just talk about history and the movement but to final low make Real Investment to push for aggressive change. Im proud that San Francisco continues to push the envelope. Continues to be put on the map when it come to transgender rights. And the w this we have done together including the transhome sf and a commitment to end transhomelessness in San Francisco has been transformtive. And along with the challenges that continue to persist around homelessness in this community. The First Program around universal basic income for transgender people in San Francisco. A lot of the work we continue to do in including the first building the first building to have transgender youth here in San Francisco. And let mow tell you, the challenge we continue to run into because transgender people as a whole are under attack but our youth more than anything else. So much so this we could not really announce celebrate and disclose the location out of fear what might happen to those young people who will be moving in this space. But the city did not let that stop us from moving forward. We invested resources and help to support lion martin in terms of the w they are doing the security that they need to ensure this people can get health care and support and resource. Without fear of being attacked. Well is so much that we are doing in San Francisco. Jupiter out lined a lot of the great initiatives and would not happen had it not been for this incredible xhounlts. Continuing to push the envelope. Continuing to advocate. And continuing to make sure that this communities is united in our fight to ensure that the support that is available not just to the lbgtq community as a whole but well is a specific focus. On the transcommunity for resources, services, based on challenges and disparities that continue to persist. This community represents wholehearted low the resiliency what it means to be a francesca. When we talk about the Phoenix Rising from the ashes your strength, courage and everything you continue to do to push the envelope; is why so many others in had country and in this world can truly be courageous they look to San Francisco and they truly see that we are a beacon of hope in the Transgender Community. [applause] thank you all for being here to celebrate transgender History Month in San Francisco lets continue to roll up our sleeves. Continue to do this incredible work to those who are a part of the community as well as the alli. We will push the inspect in San Francisco and maintain our place as a beacon of hope for all transpeople throughout the world. Thank you. [applause] thank you, mayor breechld give mayor breed another round of applause. Thank you. And now i Welcome Back Party chair of the San FranciscoDemocratic Committee honey mahogany. [applause] thank you, so much an honor to be here amongst community and leaders and here in my home town of San Francisco which as the mayor said has been a place of so many firsts for our community. Im proud to stand here the first transperson to serve as chair of any local democratic per in the country. Im here proud as one of the founders of the cultural district and someone who live in a city we committed to ending trans homelessness. That being said, even here in San Francisco we have so much more work to do. Even here in the state of california we still have people who are attacking transpeople rights. And as we see laws passed in other states across the country, so many people are fleeing to sanctuary cities like california and cities like San Francisco only to find they couldnt ford to live here fetch are going to be a sanctuary city we have to double down on investments. Ensure when people come they are welcomed and stabilized and allowed to continue to prosper and to live that dream of what sanctuary means in San Francisco. I think that one of the things we can do most are or best is be as loud and proud as we can be here. We have to demonstrate to the world what transexcellence looks like and have to teach our history. The reason that republicans and people of across the country are attacking our school boards. Education system and public schools. Banning book because they than education is the 63 to their success and the way in which they can exploit us as scapegoats. I want to say that who i we saw the rhetoric in the 70s and 80s it does did not start there. We can go back to world war ii when we saw the discrimination pushed upon our community. When we think about the book burnings by the nazi party. One of the first and famous and one you seen pictures of happened at the clinic of doctor magnus. Was a jewish gay jewish doctor when republican a gender clinic in germany. Years of reswhaefrp it money to bes transgender. And how to help transgender people of all of that research and that knowledge and books was burned and destroyed. And transpeople went from at this time in germany able to live their live in public being able to get cards to acknowledge they were trans people and allowed wear when than i wore. They went from this to persecuted and the Pink Triangle on them and burn in the gas chambered. It is very important we remember that history this. We acknowledge that history and teach that history to so we dont repeat it today we are seeing history repeat itself. In places here like San Francisco, we have leaders who do the right thing. Leaders who are fight to make this say safe space and doing their best to ensure people can come here and seek sanctuary. I challenge us e approximately allis to do more. Meet the challenge. As chair of the Democratic Party i have honor of working along side nancy pelosi in doing stone bank across our state and the country to make sure we elect people who will fight for our rights not just transrival right to access Reproductive Health care and abortions this is all linked. Please, it is in the enough to attend rallies. Not enough to call yourself an alli. Do the work, join us in using our privilege in San Francisco to create change across the state and the country. You can hit us up at the website and phone bank join us and sister district and other organization in doing this work that will lead lay the path way to us winning in 2024.

I want to do it really loud. Okay . One two three happy transgender History Month [applause] [applause] i am supervisor melgar. I am the supervisor for district 7. [music] i am a immigrant to San Francisco. My family came when i was 12 from el salvador during the civil war. This place gave us security, safety and an opportunity to thrive, so i love the city deeply, and as a mother of three kids who have grown up as city kids, im grateful for everything the city has to offer for people like me and families. I have been politically involved my whole life, either in government or a non profit worker and i care about the community. I care about people around me, and i want to make sure that as the world changes around us, other people have the opportunity that my family did. We are back in San Francisco post pandemic. So important to be out supporting our businesses, supporting our neighbors. Im the first woman to represent the district, believe it or not. Im the first latina elected to the board of supervisors without an appointment first ever, so i do think that indiscernible i want immigrants to be represented, women, moms, people that have different experiences because that brings richment to our Decision Making and i think it makes for betting decisions so that inspired me to run. District 7 is one of the most diverse districts in San Francisco both in economics and ethnicity. It spans north from golden gate park. It includes all the institutions in the park, the wheel. The music concourse, mew seem to the south to the daly city boarder and west to the organization. Includes the zoo indiscernible all those fun things and to 280 oen the east. Includes city college, San Francisco state. I had ucsf parnassus so very large geographically. It is mostly Single Family homes, so it is the place where for generations family indiscernible nice parks, lake merced, mount davidson. This is like a village within the city, so we are very close nit community. We tend to band together and try to support one another and it is a friendly place and families and people to have a cup of coffee and check out the park. Ocean avenue, which is the southern end of our district is vibrant commercial corridor that mostly cater tuesday the local neighborhoods and the students. As you go further west you have the mall which has some of the best pan asian food offerings in the city. If you havent been there, it is really fun. As you go up a little bit further, there is west portal avenue, which is a very old School Commercial district where you can still find antique shops and cobbler shops and as well as like more modern restaurants. It is definitely hopping and full of families on any weekday. Im matt roger, the coowner or indiscernible carl, other coowner in west portal. We are a Neighborhood Hardware store. Been a Community Institution since it was founded in 1936. We had a little bit of everything. indiscernible to gardening or gift buying. My entire experience in San Francisco is this community. It is a very small town feel for a big city. The community is caring and connected. What makes me excited doing business in district 7 is i know it sell well. I grew up here. I knew a lot of customers, parents of friends. It is very comfortable place and feels like home. If you go up north, you have the innerpz sunset commercial corridor which has a awesome Farmers Market on weekdays and plethora of restaurants. There is everything you need. Friendly and safe and indiscernible i love they bring their kids with them. They teach them how to use their money, and it is something you dont see in too many markets in other communities. I love to see the kids come and talking to you. It is Something Different then i see from indiscernible the ev access to transit in inner sunset and ability to do a lot of shopping on foot, and now the improved biking with jfk closed to cars, because we have a 4 and a half year old who rides her bike. We now have a safe place to go and ride bike jz dont have to to worry about traffic. Graffiti continues to be one of these things that during the pandemic just got out of control everywhere in the city and i do think that it is hampering our recovery of commercial corridors, so some of the volunteers on west portal avenue, some of the merchants got together with interns at our office to do some hands on abatement and we have been doing it regularly. We are doing it once a week and we have a wonderful neighbor, carrie organizing and storing the paint and supplies in her office on west portal, but this needs more then just a volunteer efforts. Im grateful for the collaboration. We passed legislation at the board and put 4 million in the budget over the next 24 months to help the department of public works hire laborers and labor apprentices to abate the graffiti on private property on commercial corridors. I think that for a couple years this recovery strategy so we can get back up as normal after this awful pandemic. Participatory budgeting is a pot of money that is available every year for district 7 neighbors to propose projects that improve the neighborhood and the district. Anyone, any organization in the district can propose a project and then its a vote. It is popular vote. We have 14 projects just approved and they span from you know, a vegetable garden at Aptos Middle School to Pedestrian Safety projects on indiscernible it runs the gamut, but it is wonderful because it allows people to be engaged in a real way, and then to see the outcome of their energy and work, because the things get improved in front of them. I like it is really close to the parecollect parks and bunch of businesses as well as a calm feel. It is a very peaceful feel even though it is close to a lot of things. indiscernible also not boring. There is stuff to do too. So, there is lots to see and experience in district 7. Hello everyone. Welcome to the bayview bistro. It is just time to bring the Community Together by deliciousness. I am excited to be here today because nothing brings the Community Together like food. Having amazing food options for and by the people of this community is critical to the success, the longterm success and stability of the bayviewhunters point community. I am nima romney.

Our goal with the bayview bristow is to bring in businesses so they can really use this as a launching off point to grow as a single business. We want to use this as the opportunity to support Business Owners of color and those who have contributed a lot to the community and are looking for opportunities to grow their business. These are the things that the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission is doing. They are doing it because they feel they have a responsibility to san franciscans and to people in this community. I had a grandmother who lived in bayview. She never moved, never wavered. It was a house of security answer entity where we went for holidays. I was a part of bayview most of my life. I cant remember not being a part of bayview. I have been here for several years. This space used to be unoccupied. It was used as a dump. To repurpose it for Something Like this with the bistro to give an opportunity for the local vendors and food people to come out and showcase their work. That is a great way to give back to the community. This is a great example of a publicprivate community partnership. They have been supporting this including the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission and Mayors Office of workforce department. Working with the joint Venture Partners we got resources for the space, that the businesses were able to thrive because of all of the opportunities on the way to this community. Bayview has changed. It is growing. A lot of things is different from when i was a kid. You have the t train. You have a lot of new business. I am looking forward to being a Business Owner in my neighborhood. I love my city. You know, i went to city college and fourth and mission in San Francisco under the chefs ria, marlene and betsy. They are proud of me. I dont want to leave them out of the journey. Everyone works hard. They are very supportive and passionate about what they do, and they all have one goal in mind for the bayview to survive. All right. It is time to eat, people.
