Culture and competent care, multilingual contact tracing. Thank you for bringing that up. Supervisor yee thank you. This is everybodys responsibility. I dont see anybody taking responsibility right now. One last thing, in terms of resource distribution in districts, supervisor brought up this issue. My argument sometimes its counterintuitive. If you look at my district, theres really no nonprofit. Nobody wants to come out there to help 100 rvs parked out there. I think its too easy just to say one district has more need and that were not getting the resources. As you know, most of the nonprofits are in those areas, in those districts where the needs are the greatest. You cant ignore all those resources that are serving that community doesnt exist. It wont matter this year. In the future, i want to say that because its not fair to just say, little piece of pie, we should get more of it, because not taking into consideration that in hat bigger budget, 99. 9 , if you look at whats allocated, you will see the discrepancy. I dont want to be into this thing at this point. I thought at least bring it up. Thank you for all your work. Supervisor fewer thank you president yee. Supervisor yee thank you everybody. Supervisor fewer thank you president yee. I want to thank you for your work. I think this is super exciting. I dont know if other supervisors know, theres now a statewide effort to create Racial Equity for the state of california. Thank you so much for director finley for helping that work on this. I think theyre looking at the framework also and learning and how we can do it statewide. I also want to say that what i appreciate, many times during the budget cycle, i think that my colleagues will know, i asked about impact. The numbers served does not represent how were changing peoples lives. Im really grateful that youre shifting the focus of not as nonprofits also. I was in nonprofit too. We used to having signin sheets, were using to being accountable by the signin shoots so we can say we had 20 or 30 people there. What is the outcome for it . How deep does it go . I think these are the types of investments that we want to make it real. The fact that were asking the questions, its like have you changed peoples lives. Its so important because then were responsible to the individual and we are not responsible to just the signin sheet or to the department that is funding it but were really responsible to the individual in how were impacting that persons life. I wanted to i think this is something that im going to ask during the budget process and ask departments to respond to so they get use to the idea of thinking in the way its not how many of serve but really what the impact is having upon the people that you do serve. Are we going deep enough, are we giving enough, are we giving up too early. I want to know, to what extent that your analysis look at Racial Equity within departmental staffing . We heard a lot weve had hearings. To what extent your analysis look at Racial Equity within departmental staffing . Thats a great question supervisor fewer. I want to uplift that director davis have that Amazing Community engagement framework. That resource is there. I want to thank director davis for that. Secondly, we did an early report in march with the Comptrollers Office and looked at racial breakdowns by department through that workforce report. It confirmed some of our suspicions in regard to equity in our departments where certain which leads to disparities in pay, benefits and access to management positions. We are going to be taking a targeted approach with the department of Human Resources who has committed to identifying some key areas that impact Workforce Diversity and some of the focus areas that well be doing this year is looking at qualifications and looking at how we create our job qualifications. Not allowing persons of colour foot in the door. Were going to be looking at recruitment and hiring. Thats been a huge issue. If issues dont reach the standard for e. E. O. Complaint, workers are still being or having issues, not having support. How can we find a way to mediate or find justice for our folks in the city workforce. Its been a parallel track for office of Racial Equity internal and external. Were not losing sight of the need. To be honest, the work the creation of this office was built off advocacy and work of our black city workers and city workers of colour. Thank you for bringing that up. I want to make sure that was included. Supervisor fewer thats great. I want to say how important it is that we align Racial Equity with the mayor. Were looking at im looking and my office also at longterm strategies. When president yee asked you about the School District, the disparity start way before our children start school. When we look at not investing in 025 with subsidies and child care, particularly for low income, black and brown families. Child care is so expensive, especially infant care so expensive. The disparities start earlier when we look at black mortality rate and health of black women and look at all those things. I think that we will not be able to crack this unless we start to think longterm and not a bandaid. That we invest now and in 20 years later, i know its hard to do that. As a government, city government, when politicians are looking at fouryear terms, were not looking in 20 years. This is a type of investment we need to make. We need to make it early. And make it strong. We need to start investing in people much earlier. We know at the School District when most of us have been on the school board that we see data that if behind by second grade and if youre africanamerican or latino, you flat line. Thats where you stay. These early investments are so important. This is why i think its so important that office of racial equities align with the mayor vision. Setting it up for success and continuing it and hopefully the office of Racial Equity will celebrate a 50th anniversary and tracking this all along so we can see longterm improvements, these opportunities gaps dont start when youre 15. The opportunity gap start way before and much of it generational. One last question, i think that is can you talk more about the budget equity tool whether is something were focused on the board or designed for department and when it will be released . We need to start earlier. When it comes to the budget equity assessment tool, two things. The tool will be released in december. That is part of the legislation something well work on with the mayors Budget Office so that its viewed within the mayors budget instruction. There are a number of agencies that have similar tools. Portland, austin, san antonio, seattle, they already had budget equity processes. Im open to more conversation how we can connect with you as our chair of the Budget Finance Committee to form that tool. So its not just for departments but for the board. Its not just something that come from us, its something thats more collaborative in nature. For the mandate, thats due at the end of this year in december. The reason im creating this memo to provide a precursor of the things we would uplift in that budget assessment tool. Thank you. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. I know its late. Lets start with Public Comment, please call for Public Comment on item number two. Clerk operations is checking if there are any callers in the queue.

This is carl larson. Lead Attorney Community resource centre. Were located in district 8, the same district where live. Im speaking on behalf of cbo and in solidarity with many nonprofit partners. We firmly believe in Racial Equity and we are also speaking out in strong opposition to budget cuts for communitybased organizations. We are intentional to getting San Francisco through covid19 pandemic and protect the Trump Administration from the attack. The pandemic struck as one of the worst possible time for the community. San francisco needs cbos to continue helping families to avoid going hungry, maintain access to the labor market and be protected from being torn apart by deportation. We are the first place many sf residents turn to in a crises. When the city shut down in march the number of families for food pantries skyrocketed. When our clients get sick with covid19, we the first place to turn to for support. At the same time, our legal team continue providing Urgent Services even as the Trump Administration is using the pandemic as cover. Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. I work in San FranciscoMission District in Community Services where the coordinate San FranciscoLegal Network known as sf island. Sf island is a groundbreaking collaborative between 13 organizations. We see i. C. E. Deportments is continuing including threatening to exclude immigrants. For all of these reasons, strongly urge you to invest in the agile tool like the ones we developed. Thank you. Clerk next speaker please. Hello im the executive director, member of coalition. I want to thank tremendously the work of the office of Racial Equity and Human Rights Commission for the work they have done during this covid crises. I got to say, im proud, very few proud that im proud of government. Im really proud of what theyve done because lot of people are terrified especially our seniors. They were able to bring resources, food, faces, masks to the community. Its something to be proud of. I want to say that i support the office of Racial Equity and the recommendations by director finley in terms of fund is power, standard, city wide budget with Racial Equity framework. The black community in this country, through slavery has never been supported. Jim crow, we managed to take nothing and create something amazing. Even when we came here with nothing from the south during the navy ship during world war ii, we built amazing communities all around the city. This board of supervisors decided to allow for the federal and State Government urban renewal. Much of this is post Civil Rights Era and modern times. Clerk next speaker please. Thank you for having us. Im the coordinator for it Rapid Response network. Im here speaking today to advocate for no cuts for Community Organizations and standing in solidarity with Many Organizations who are being heavily impacted during this time. Especially during covid. Thank you very much. Very active in the Latino Task Force and latin Equity Coalition. We are very concerned. We are heavily impacted by covid19 pandemic. We are like in the mission. Without a spare tire and running on empty. The last thing we need is for fourth tire to be taken away. We really need investment, heavy investment into our c. B. O. S and work were doing and essential work. I want to make a special comment on the work were doing with the Latino Task Force. Last thursday we reached 996 people who were tested. We had a very Good Partnership with ucsf. We had some work that has done very well with the department of Public Health. We are stuck right now and we need the support of your office to help us get the funds that we need from department of Public Health. Were in a very interesting place being able to really reach the families. Weve got day laborers and Domestic Workers trained to be contact tracers to do the work that needs to be done deep in the community. We need the city to invest in this work. We will be able to have a very, very positive impact. I yield the rest of my time. Thank you very much for this effort and please support more investment in our community. Thanks. Clerk next speaker please. Hello, im the senior director of College Access and success at mission graduates. During this covid crises mission graduates continue to support students and their families. We are already doing so much with so little which is inequitable. This is especially not the time to cut our funding. I ask the city and our mayor to keep all communitybased organizations whole by not cutting our budget allocation. We really just cant accept these cuts. I like to emphasize, we stand with our brothers and sisters from other systematically underserved communities. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker please. Good afternoon. My name is Felicia Jones on speak on behalf of the black community. I want to say first and foremost to director davis, thank you for the work that youre doing. Its not enough. She needs more help. She needs more funding. Lets be real about the black community and black san franciscans here in San Francisco. We are worse than immigrants. That is not meant to be a derogatory statement but facts. When supervisor walton indicated that there was 42 million in r. F. P. S and the black community got about 2 , thats appalling. I feel that every board of supervisors who sits on the board of supervisors, you are responsible for that. Theres been 55 years and black folks in San Francisco, we fair worse now than we did 55 years ago. The office of Racial Equity was really brought forth, even though they have been many tries, it was brought forth by the disparities of black workers. What im hearing is the can kick down the road. That was over two years ago that we brought to you supervisor fewer, the disparities of sitting and county black workers. Nothing has been done to address it. What does the board of supervisors have tendency to do . Constantly, want to have hearings. You have hearings after hearings but were on the where are the outcome. You speak of covid clerk speaker time as expired. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker please. Good afternoon supervisors. Calvin quick from Youth Commission again. Im speaking on Public Comment on this item. Youth commission supportive of office of Racial Equity work. Clerk next caller please. Thats im urging San Francisco you board of supervisors to support black equity. Increase of support fo of owned business. We must hold departments accountable and their spending towards black people and black neighborhood. I stand if full support of office of Racial Equity. While it is true director finley is amazing and more than capable holding down any department. She is vital to our community and her mental and physical health means a lot to us. Im hoping the office of Racial Equity is adequately staffed. Thank you. Thank you having this hearing supervisors and directors and president. Im from the tenderloin. We need to understand makeup of the community of the tenderloin we dont have a lot of black people on the census that are registered voters in the tenderloin. If you walk down the tenderloin, 18 hours of the day the tenderloin is full of black folks. Mostly young black folks. Only skill they have is able to roll a blunt. I understand its a heck of budget situation this year. I understand more than anybody. I like to go with that line that was money involved when the manager, they said you need to do better with the money you already got. We can do that but we got to change the parameters of these r. F. P. S. I rather give 100 effort to 20 people than 10 effort to 100 people. Immigrant community has been disproportionately living crises. Our community is unemployed, they are hungry, sick and dying. Teams are families are increasing domestic violence, child abuse and depression. We all know you have hard challenges to make ahead. I believe the true fairness and equity is about helping those in our society. We ask that you please prevent the cuts to the Community Based organizations. There are many. We want you to be on the right side of history. Thank you for your time. My comments are in regards to supporting Racial Equity in the budget. Holding departments accountable in their spending towards black people and black neighborhoods. Also, supporting the black seniors, disabled and unhoused folks, theres so much that has been going on for so long and weve been neglected and left out and not had a feet at the table to make decisions on our own community future. That power needs to go back into our hand. We can do this together. We can make our own decisions and decide whats best for our community. Weve been living it and we know whats best. Continue to support the office
