Thank you. Supervisor chan, would you like to present the item . Yes. Thank you chair stefani and colleagues on this committee. Thank you so much for scheduling this item for hearing. I really also appreciate for your consideration. We are here to expand San Francisco response and accountability for victims of gun violence. Last year in 2022, phil tang drafted and governor newsoms signed into law ab1594 which gives victims of gun violence the right to sue manufacturers of fire arms for the harm of gun violence for violating California Law. Gun violence plagued our country for decades, but really definitely as we think about california, we are not immune to gun violence even at the most progressive state in the nation. When it comes to gun violence prevention. So, as we know, just this week President Joe Biden announced the first ever White House Office of gun violence prevention overseen by kamala harris. This epidemic needs to be addressed and the time is now. But i also just really want to highlight the work that has been done on the local level and want to thank our chair, Catherine Stefani. I want to say before i elected to office, what i just so admire and remember i reached out to supervisor stefani then was, she was the one leading the call to calling out the National Rifle association as Domestic Terrorist Organization for us and to call out and people like nra or organizations like nrs is what caused some of the trauma in gun violence domestically in our nation and throughout and why we must just bring attention to this and i just want to thank her work and recognize that this is only building on the things she has done and so which all the more i appreciate under her leadership as our chair for me to schedule this resolution before you and to have your support. In 2022, the data from the San FranciscoPolice Department shows there were 139 victims of shooting, gun shooting, gun violence that resulted in injury or death in San Francisco. Of these, 67 percent of the victims were black and brown. This violence impact our communities of color. We must do better. Ab1594 establish the right for all victims of gun violence in california to sue fire arm manufacturers for the harm their cause. If they establish a violation of California Law and so with that, my legislation today is to urges our city to create a program for victims of gun violence in San Francisco to insure they are aware of their full rights and availability of services in San Francisco and california. Today well hear from our department of Public Health colleagues, the office of District Attorney to talk about what services are offered to gun violence victims and how we can improve and also ouralso well hear from our ucsf Trauma Recovery center about the wrap around project who supports our most vulnerable victims of gun violence. But today colleagues, i have two amendments to correctto amend the language. It is clerical errors on myfrom our office that we need to correct. If i may i would like to ask the chair to distribute the amendments and but also you guysthank you for having the copies ready and then if i may to continue with the hearing. Yes, i want to say a few shorts words. Thank you for bringing this forward. There was a time a lot of elected politicians shied away from gun violence prevention legislation and now i am very happy to see that many, especially democrats are jumping on board, and and i want to thank the advocates. I have been doing this work since columbine. [indiscernible] Brady Campaign after jim brady and advocates push ed the legislation forward at the state and could not do it without them. We have to give more attention to gun violence prevention and the victims. There are so many lives shattered and destroyed because of gun violence wreaking havoc. It is number one cause of death of our children in america and shameful so i want to thank you for bringing this forward and very excited about the opportunity since we are talking about victims that this could be folded and worked on with [indiscernible] bobby lopez from office of victim and witness rights. Especially with the grants manager. There is so much we can do with this nigh office and i think this is a perfect opportunity so thank you again to supervisor chan for bringing this forward. Thank you. With that, i am going to call on department of Public Health. Good morning and thank you supervisor chan inviting me to speak on behalf of department of Public Health on the resolution regarding programming and resources for the victims of gun violence and the rights to File Lawsuits against the gun manufacturers in accordance with state Assembly Bill 1594. Stephanie felder, the director of comprehensive Crisis Service and hope sf wellness for department of Public Health. Our Program Makes sure that people that are impacted by violent incidents get Mental Health services immediately following a incident. This includes homicides, shootings, but not limited to gun shootings. Our comprehensive Crisis Service also work closely with the Victim Service division at the District Attorney office as well as with ucsf wrap around and Street Violence Intervention Program and other Community Based organizations. We collaborate together to make sure that in the immediate aftermath of a homicide or shooting, which involves a lot of trauma for those impacted and we work closely with them to help with the healing process. In support of this resolution, dph is committed to providing information and resources to victims regarding their rights to sue the fire arm manufacturers and sellers for violations of state law concerning the sale and are marketing of firearms as stated in california state Assembly Bill 1594. We envision developing Multilingual Education materials made available in the event they decide to follow through with suing the gun manufacturers. As stated in the resolution, dph will work with the mayors Budget Office identifying funding and staffing as necessary for the Educational Campaign once this resolution has passed. Thank you and happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. As chair stefani mentioned, what the board has done in the last budget is to establish a Victim Services office of Victim Services. I am not too sure if it has been official announcement that directorit will be under the leadership of ivy lee, but curious if the department of Public Health is in communication with inmayor office and potential continuing establishments of the office of Victim Services . Yes, we work closely with the mayor office, violence prevention. Is therei know you mentioned it is the passage of the resolution. I think colleagues that is part of the amendment today is that we are hoping to amend the timeline formally was january 2023. We understand through the conversation too, we held off with the conversation around budget of the establishment of the Victim Services office of Victim Services, so with your support championed by supervisor stefani, now that is approved so we amending the laj wj to january 2024 to give time. With that amendment is it feasible for department of Public Health to be able to respond by january 2024 . Yes, with the materials, yes. We should be able to. Wonderful. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your effort on this and with that, colleagues, i see supervisor dorsey. Thank you so much. I want to express my appreciation to supervisor chan for her leadership on this and also chair stefani for your long Time Leadership on these issues. With sf General Hospital here and in the room i do want to point out, one thing that is remarkable i think and probably too under appreciated the number of people injured in gun incidents is 113. The fact that only 26 were killed is really a testament to the trauma surgeons and the work that medical professionals are doing at zuckerberg General Hospital and i just wanted to mention that because i think its too often under appreciated. But thank you for everything you are doing and thank you to colleagues for their leadership. Any other questions . Any other presenters . Yes. Thank you and thank you so much. The next presenter is from the San FranciscoDistrict Attorney office. Thank you so much for being here. She was here yesterday at the budget and finance comm
