Good evening. I have extraordinary privilege of being the president of the phone nominal Printer College and tonight along with my colleague the director of rosenhaus im pleased to welcome you to this discussion about a publishing sensation of the year or maybe even a decade notorious rbg. A shoutout to our who is here. Raise your hand to make sure you are all paying your alumni dues. Notorious rbg is a book like no other and in the sunday review the New York Times said it is a decided to have a baby. Sub sandwich on sale and next week we just heard it as already reached number seven on the list. [applause] another measure of the books popularity is that we originally planned to hold this event at roseville house but the response that we need to move it here and then much larger place. We are delighted about the turnout that in a way its too bad we had to make a move because the ghost of franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt that so raises the dash of their former new residents would have lov
And tolerant societies that welcome the contributions of all people including the people of faith. The resolution we submitted today does not call for the deployment of Ground Combat forces to iraq or syria. It is not the authorization of another ground war like afghanistan or iraq. The 2600 american troops in iraq today largely serve on bases. And yes they face the risks that come with service in any dangerous environment but they do not have a combat mission. They are focused on training iraqi forces including Kurdish Forces. As ive said before, i am convinced the United States should not get dragged back into another prolonged ground war in the middle east. That is not in our National Security interests and it is not necessary for us to defeat isil. Local forces on the ground who know their countries best are best positioned to take the ground fight to isil and that is what they are doing. At the same time this resolution strikes the Necessary Balance by giving us the flexibility we
Is what keeps me coming more than anything. And i have been a worker in the city of San Francisco, and ideal conditions for over 30 years and, so to be able to advocate on behalf of somebody else and to have the city participate, by having this ordinance, and having members of the public and people with the previous qualifications come, and work on this effort it is just a great thing.

Center to try to get some help and most ways they have a snap program which is the San Francisco Assistance Program and it is set up for the people who already have jobs and networks already here. There is really nothing like that for lgbtq people and so they end up out on the streets and the latest Homeless Count is that there is a large percentage of our Homeless People are lgbtq. And i had some really interesting, experiences when i was in the shelters, and i had a difficult time, trying to get a six month bed at next door. And i finally was able to get it, and you know, some of the things that i noticed was there was a menu of breakfast, and i think and lunch, or a breakfast and dinner that was put up, for the month that next door, but, we never received anything that was on that menu and my question was always, that if somebody was able to make a menu for a month, that means that they must have known, what their inventory was, but if they were not receiving that food and what happ

Good morning, supervisors, thank you it has been my pleasure and challenge to be a member of the public on this committee and i asked for your support going forward. Previous two speakers have more than covered some of the potential that sweat free Procurement Advisory Group can do for the city. As a member of the public sitting on this board, one of the things that is just very simple that we have been able to accomplish and would like to expand is to know that our city budget has been used to purchase uniforms or other items, in a circumstance where those workers now can have breaks, and now can have healthcare, or are free from harassment and particularly the women, and you know, it, and the ability to partic
