[applause] >> that was a beautiful rendition, sir, thank you. good afternoon board of supervisors. i am here to let you all know that i support supervisor waltons vision zero action plan. i know it's going to help us create the changes we need in our community. as a grandmother, as a cancer survivor, still going through chemo. i just started. i understand the importance of the entire family, and how it is important from the eldest, to the youngest, that we impact them by assisting them with whatever they need. whether it be housing. whether it be homelessness. all of these issues that will move forward with the vision zero plan, are important issues. we need to support it. while we all sit around, and we all talk about how we want to see a change. let's be the change that we want to see. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. [applause] >> good afternoon supervisors. i, too, support the zero vision plan from supervisor walton. i have been here all my life, 66 years. i grew up in the fillmore, lived in the richmond, lived in the sunset, lived off ocean avenue. and now i am a resident of bayview for the last ten years. i have seen different communities evolve. i have never seen a community without help. that is what i have seen the last ten years, in the bayview. i don't want to just speak on the bayview, but because i have been there for ten years, like i said i've seen so much of the city. the bayview has lost its toe. without some type of plan, some type of honesty -- when i first came to bayview, they were talking about rebuilding the bayview, doing this i saw the community, they wanted to believe in something. yet, without hope, you have nothing. this supervisor has come with a vision. it's not just this one district. true, we have had violence, in the asian community. it has expanded over the last few years. i don't want to get into politics. but, san francisco is a city that has heart. i grew up here, it has always had heart. at 11-point, i was homeless. at one point, i was a drug addict. i have been clean now for 21 years, because of what the city has done and gave me a shot. i just want to say, if we give someone a shot, we can change something. they have to have hope. thank you. >> hi, i am laura, one of the hair workers. a resolution was introduced last week. i just want to thank you all ahead of time, in advance for the voting. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is lisa rasmussen, i am a registered vet tech. i just wanted to thank you again for introducing this resolution in support of us. hopefully, you will take us a little more seriously. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. it is a joy to be here. i am a supporter of supervisor waltons vision zero plan. i do represent 1500 more voters here in san francisco. we are very happy that supervisor walton has sat down and taken out time, to be concerned about district ten. it is sad to say that i have lived in the city, for 35 years, and i have buried 126 young men that died to nonviolence, in our city. we are happy today to support the supervisor plan, because we feel it is going to work. we do need more police officers, on the streets. we do need more community ambassadors on the streets. we do need more mental health. all of these things will help our district and at san francisco. we salute the board of supervisors and supervisor walton for having concerns about the homicides that is killing us in america. i know this plan -- trying to run them -- i really do hope that when the board votes, that we get a unanimous 11% vote. so far, we have ten, and we would love 11. that makes me very happy. thank you again for supporting this, workers rights are everybody's rights. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon supervisors. i am a resident of local ten, these are a few things that i have been thinking about. a lot of our seniors in bayview feel it is unsafe on the buses a day or night. we should have more bus monitors on buses, to ensure the safety for our elders father was the community -- -- in the community. also, illegal dumping in the community. you find a lot of abandoned cars in the community, also dumping garbage and all sorts of debris. streets with no lighting are prime locations for shooting, and drug use. people are using these cars for shelter. this is dangerous for the community. dead-end streets need to have lighting. years ago i noticed a lot of hauling companies, driving through the neighborhood and dumping their garbage on dead-end streets where there are no lights. when you come out in the morning and find nothing but trash and garbage, running all up and down the middle of the streets. a lot of these streets mean more lighting and protection for the community, the residence. thank you. >> good afternoon. i am just a concerned citizen. i just wanted to share something police have identified hotspots for many years here in san francisco. and we haven't been able to address these areas. we need dedicated community's plan coordinators, or a coordinator that will bring resources together to create a plan that has been discussed here. please keep in mind that graduation rates for african-american students and latino students are in the lowest it has been in san francisco. low education attainment with future poverty, and the data suggests that students in san francisco unified school district will have difficulty improving economic for their families. bayview mission had the highest number of underperforming schools and with these suggested statistics we are feeding the pipeline of violence to an equitable education and poverty. i would like to thank supervisor walton, for his leadership, with district ten in addressing violence and encourage the entire board to support his efforts working towards making san francisco a safer place to live in. thank you for your time. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> get afternoon -- good afternoon, we support the vision for zero action plan. communities are impacted by displacement, poverty, education, performance, homelessness and pollution. they have continued to exchange these homicides. we need to bring together our elders that have changed their lives, to get to the roundtable and address the violence. we need a safety plan that will bring resources together. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon supervisors. i just want to start off by congratulating come the district and supervisor that is always present in his community. i see this man at the grocery store. i see
