Everybody for the reserved seats signs are probably behind me. Happy trans Awareness Week in San Francisco. We need to do it bigger. Lets do a month, and this is where we are, celebrating so many Amazing Things, so many amazing accomplishments. But we also know, sadly, that our Trans Community all over the country is under attack. Just recently, sadly, we shouldnt be surprised, but the president has rolled out some new discriminatory plan against our Trans Community, trying to take away millions of dollars of federal funds from our cities throughout the country. And we are of course, in San Francisco style, going to continue to fight back time and time again against the discrimination that continues to attract attack our Trans Community here in this city. [applause] the hon. London breed we understand, more than anyplace else, despite the differences that we may have, that our diversity is our strength. That is what makes San Francisco such an incredible, unique place. And im proud tha
Providing will do just that. Eco blitz, i dont know who came up with that name, but why not, it is an effort to invest even more resources into cleaning and greening the downtown area so that people who visit this area, so that people who shop in this area and people who work in this area have a clean, safe, green place that they can enjoy their experience in. Today is about the enhancement that we need in order to make San Francisco a better place. I dont know about you, but im tired of people talking trash about our city.

We are going to make San Francisco better now during the Holiday Season and in the future because of our new investment. We are excited about what this is going to do to
Edge later and requires cultural training. I would encourage as part of that plan the city of San Francisco its own cultural competency training. The population in San Francisco is different from much of california. A cultural training would not be adequate to help provide the Compassionate Care necessary for the population of San Francisco. Second part of comment is related to what came up earlier. I work at a Retail Pharmacy nothing breaks my heart more when they come in to pick up the medication and they dont have the insurance papers. It takes days. They are homeless and they have to leave the pharmacy after 14 hours and dont get medication. They might be without de beat esmedcase and we cant find them to get the updated information. If we find the insurance we cant provide them what they needed. It is almost like the efforts of the Healthcare Providers are almost gone to waste because they dont get the therapy that they need. Than thank you. I am jennifer. I have multiple comments
