Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. I am John Mccormick in the Community Organizing office. I am here to tell the story of cheryl china coworker and member of the tenderloin peoples congress. On wednesday of this week cheryl was attacked on the corner of golden gate and leavenworth across the street from my office. A whole can of mace was unloaded to her. She ran across the street and was briefly pursued by the gentleman who unloaded the mace on her. He unloaded a whole can of mace. Under no circumstance is that okay in any circumstance. Cheryl is very traumatized by this. She is not feeling good. She is in the condition i havent personally seen her in before, and she believes like i did that if we had treatment on demand, this never would have happened.

Your confidence collapses. I would almost argue that every person who experiences homelessness in the city, especially the way the city is right now, is partially suicidal. I thought about it when i was homeless before i got in the shelter i thought about suicide at least once or twice each week. That changed when i finally got into a shelter. What it means to basically have a safe place. I went from being with the coalition it is having a safe consumption site. I live in the tenderloin. I dont want to see people having to be on the streets with dirty hands injecting something into their body to kill them with bacteria. I went to see a place where people can go to do their drugs and this is coming from Harm Reduction model completely.
