Mr. President , all members are present. Please place your right hand over your heart join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] thank you. Behalf of the board, i like to acknowledge the staff of sfgov tv who record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online. Colleagues, i like to take a few meetings to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment. The 19th amendment which guarantees and protect womens constitutional right to vote was ratified on august 18, 1920. Hundredth anniversary of this historic milestone is to reflect on incredible efforts to secure womens Voting Rights. It is a reminder of the unfinished work ahead of us to fulfill the promise of our democracy. For decades after the ratification of the 19th amendment, many women of color were prevented from casting ballots through poll taxes, literacy tests, violence, intimidation and racism. For many women of color, that didnt begin to c

Vice president taylor welcome to what is going to be the continued meeting from august 19 as well as concurrently the september 2 meeting of the San Francisco Police Commission.

Roughly five years, i was working as a high school teacher, and i decided to take my students on a surfing field trip. The light bulb went off in my head, and i realized i could do much more for my students taking them surfing than i could as their classroom teacher, and that is when the idea for the city surf project was born. Working with kids in the ocean that arent familiar with this space is really special because youre dealing with a lot of fear and apprehension but at the same time, a lot of excitement.
