Success. It was the way that people thought about women willing to fight for a successful campaign. What happened was, the social transformation increase the boundary of what was possible, out word. There were parades and rallies, door to door candidacies, reaching every voter in the state. The eyes of the nation were on california in 1911, when we all voted. It was the sixth and largest state in the nation to approve this. One decade later, we have full Voting Rights in the united states. Helping newly enfranchised women, a new Political Movement was founded. Starting in the 1920s, it was a movement created by the suffragettes moving forward to getting the right to vote. All of the suffragettes were interested in educating the new voters. Nonpartisan, not endorsing candidates endorsing candidates, getting the right to vote and one they have their voice heard. The 100th anniversary of womens suffrage is taking place throughout the state. Bancroft library is having an exhibit that highl
Rights you are going to see them vote with their feet and leave california. That attorneys me as someone who wants to retire and die in california i dont want to leave the state as a economic matter i dont consider myself to be fairly taxed. I do pay a higher tax rate and i think that is fine. But the people who are successful in our society are increasingly asked asked to bear more and more of the share of the tax burden as opposed to making sure that all citizens understand that if we are going to have a world class Education System we have to balance that against other things. We cannot both have a big bullet train to nowhere that is going to cost probably over billion dollars and have a world class system. I hope for the American Dream to continue here in california and i hope to have the Opportunity One day represent the voters of San Francisco and play my role in the Public Service and i come mend the senator for doing that and sacrificing his career in that regard and i hope to
Which essentially disadvantage and persecute young men of color who on a day to day basis are being subjected to the criminal Justice System in a way that is not done by other members of our society. You have got another minute. [ laughter ] on a day to day basis what were doing here in San Francisco is we are disenfranchising folks and limiting their ability for future employment. Once you have a conviction for a nonviolent drugrelated crime, your chances of getting a future employment are essentially nil. There was a Research Study published recently in a San Francisco newspaper, that showed the rate of drug convictions dropped, and the Violent Crime here in San Francisco did not rise. Essentially what were saying is that there is no correlation between drug use and Violent Crime. So the whole notion that we have to go after these folks to go into their neighborhoods and essentially make had a police state of their neighborhoods is ridiculous, preposterous and anne ethical and moral
The right to vote allows us to vote for candidates or party and it is a significant way to have our voice heard. Exactly 100 years ago, women were given the vote in california. The battle for womens suffrage was not an easy one. It took more than 70 years. A woman could run for president in new york. Organizing this conference, basically it modeled itself on a declaration of independence for women. It marked the beginning of the womens Equality Movement in the united states. At that time, women were banned from Holding Property and voting in elections. Susan b. Anthony dedicated her life to reform. Suffrage in the middle of the 19th century accomplished one goal, it was diametrically opposed to this idea. Many feared it would be corrupted by politics. Women in the 19th century had to convince male voters that having the vote would not change anything. That woman would still be devoted to the home, the family, that they would remain pure and innocent, that having the vote would not corr
The scare you part is that commissioner arce, youre absolutely right. They could set the not to exceed rate next week. They could move forward with a Shell Program and no other program, which as i said is only less than 4 of what we envision. So, but with that said, the reason that advocates have recently voted and said to the sfpuc and to lafco we would like them to proceed with these not to exceed rates is because they are now competitive with pg e. Especially if you compare it to a pg e green rate. And what ms. Malcolm proposed to us tonight are rates that will probably be even more competitive, even competitive with pg es brown power rate. The issue with the shell contract is that whether we like it or not, the local buildout that we all want is no longer tied to the small phase 1 part of the program. Its no longer tied to the shell contract. So, the reality is now that the shell contract is going to have competitive rates if the sfpuc sets competitive rates next week, now that its
