Clearly, his bright light will continue to shine. Rest in peace, ronnie chapman. You will be missed. Clerk supervisor mar . Supervisor mar thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues, today, im introducing a resolution along with supervisor ronen urging the association of bay area governments, abag, in its up coming Regional Housing needs allocation, or rhna, to maintain their current housing level needs in San Francisco.

Panels focus is going to be on Voter Suppression, Election Integrity and security and maybe even gerrymandering if we can get to it and normally we would know what those things mean because its been a long history but its a different scenario now, we all want fair, secure, timely elections but we have three essential problems that are facing this upcoming president ial election, first the Global Pandemic which none of us have ever seen, live through or voted through before, second the emerging tactics of the white house that is moving very broadly and very clearly to suppress the vote and third, the impact of the white house strategy in the Global Pandemic on march penalize groups that include black, brown or those with different abilities, et cetera, and the passenger this administration were Voter Suppression came out, they be put squarely, how it lies, how it lost the ballot and that sort of thing, having been targeted and disenfranchised by the state and federal policy, its a bit m
