Hard work on coming to consensus about what this private right of action should look like. So i just want to say a couple of programs because i dont know if it is unpress dented dented but it is rare. And i want to talk about why we decided to go this route. We are basically strengthening what was already a very strong ordinance. And by taking this step, of creating a private right of action for individuals or nonprofits, serving immigrant populations to hold the city accountable, if the city or snee act tore in the city violates these protections that we are creating, it is an extraordinary act, and we are doing this because of the fact that Muslim Community in San Francisco and across the country, and the immigrant community in general in the u. S. Is facing dangerous discrimination by our federal government as we speak. And with this ordinance and the amendments we are sending a strong and clear message to the Trump Administration that San Francisco is dead serious about doing what ever it takes to protect our communities from antimuslim and immigrant policies. And we need to also be vigilant that history does not repeat itself. This is very timely because this weekend was the 17th anniversary of the signing of the executive order 1966 by roosevelt when authorized 120,000 people of japanese an kes tri, twothirds of whom are u. S. Citizens to be i am prisoned for the sake of socalled safety of the American People at the start of world war ii. The registry of the japanese americans, stripped the americans of the right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness and it was untugsal and unjust and it is widely recognized to be so. That the in hawaii when it order was passed hawaii said that we are not going to participate in helping the internment of the japanese community. San francisco at the time did not resist in the same way. And it is part of a history that we need to learn from and make sure we never repeat again. And by creating the strongest law possible of resisting this registry and any internment that might be connected with it, we are sending that strong message that we will never participate in that type of diskrimation, unconstitutional conduct ever again. And we must create laws that hold ourselves accountable and are the strongest possible. During the campaign President Donald Trump assumed a very aggressive stance towards islamic terrorism as a corner of his socalled Security Policy and they talked about creating a Muslim Registry and while this has not become policy, he has created implement other racist laws the travel ban and excluding muslims from entering this country. We need to act on the offense . We need to create protections in place before he acts. Because what he has shown is that he is going to hold true to his promises on the ka campaign. When he does he is going to act quickly with devastating consequences to our community. We are anticipating what could be a disaster and we are saying no before it even happens. And putting the protections in place to make sure that every member of our community is protected. We dont know exactly what is coming from the federal government, or what it will look like, but we are going to create the strongest possible laws to protect every member of our community and do whatever it takes to time to be at the forefront of resisting these types of policies. So i have passed out the amendments to my colleagues. I will just briefly go over the main amendments. The proposed ordinance creates a private right of action against the city for an individual whose personal information has been disclosed in violation of the ordinance or a nonprofit focused on the defense of immigrant and the minority rights could bring a claim against the city. If the city is found liable in a cause of action brought by an individual or a nonprofit, it shall or can be liable for damages suffered by an individual. And as well as up to 5,000 in Civil Penalties per violation. In terming the amount of civil penalty, the court should consider if the violation was intentional or negligent and if there have been any previous violations by a city department. And prevailing plaintiff in the case is also entitled to recover, reasonable Attorney Fees and costs. And any person or, entity must file a claim with the city within three years of the alleged violation. There is one exception, any disclosure of personal information required by a legally enforceable subpoena, warrant or court order. And shall not give right to a cause of action. Under this section. And so, again, i, very proud today that we are creating what, you know, perhaps, the strongest law, i think in the entire country, hopefully we are leading the way, and we will see other cities and counties across the country, stepping up to send a powerful message to this administration that we will not tolerate discrimination of the Muslim Community against the Muslim Community or any immigrant members of our community. With that, is there any comments or questions . From my colleagues before we go to Public Comment . Supervisor fewer. Thank you chair, and i just want to be insured that in the definition part of this ordinance, that actually when it refers to persons and individuals, that it refers to natural and legal persons, and is that stipulate yd in the wording of this. Can you read what page and line you are referring to . I am not sure, but i am actually thinking page 7 line four, this section 103 hpt 4, shall apply to all individuals regardless of citizen or immigration status, age or any other factor. I would want it to just be insured that this refers to natural and legal persons. Deputy, City Attorney . I am not totally sure what the question is. The ordinance applies to ethnicity, National Origin or religion information about any person, any individual. I dont know if that is the response to your question . Whatever their status national, origin, is that. This ordinance protects them. This ordinance prohibits the city from disclosing information about any individual regarding ethnicity, religion or natural origin for the purpose of use on any government list or registry. Or data base. Thank you. Thank you. Any other comments or questions before we go to Public Comment . Seeing none, open up the floor to Public Comment. Would anyone like to speak . Oh, i also should mention that we do have translation, i know that we made that sad announcement at the beginning but if you would like to speak in arabic we do have a translation for you. Good morning, city supervisors, i know that i stood before you many times before. Today i stand here to thank you for taking the time to make the amendments. These changes make the ordinance much stronger, they show that San Francisco is ready to send the community and be accountable. We support the action language which will provide further protection for its residents as a Muslim American we spreesht your support. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker . Hi, my name is adele and i am a first generation american born citizen. And i have lived in the bay area my entire life and i really appreciate the support you guys have for this ordinance. And i wanted to express my strong support of an ordinance that will endorse nonparticipation in targeting of muslims or any marginalized group. And i think that it is really important to recognize that protecting the safety of these individuals does not ever compromise the safety of the rest of the citys residents. And at the last city hall, there was discussion about how some individuals have been targeted in part due to their religion and so i would like to ask if there is language in the ordinance making it clear that any targeting based on rights is unacceptable. And government officials that find themselves incapable of enforcing this, need to face consequences for violating that and be taken out of positions where they are responsible for protecting those rights. And again, i really appreciate that you guys have been supportive of this and it means a lot to me personally, to our entire community. Thanks. Thank you. Hi, next speaker. Hi, there, my name is catergy and i am also a local history researcher. And the very first reference to south asians interacting with San FranciscoCity Government that we found so far was something that happened in 1851. When there is a man from india who was schedule to testify in court but his testimony was challenged because of his race because he was about to testify in a court case where there was a white man present and he was not supposed to be able to do that. From 1851, to 2017, our communities have faced policies of state based exclusion here in San Francisco. The second story that comes out right after that happens in 1852, and this is something that came out in the daily in california and this i love this quote. It reads, in our streets, also, is the failure of the european and the darker hin du and the muslim says his daily prayers as he passes the churches of the christian. It was never before written in the worlds history and this article goes on to talk about people from the lands of persia and being here in San Francisco and it is 1852, and San Franciscos have figured out that people from the middle east, south asia, muslims are a critical part of the fabric that makes San Francisco the place that it is. And this is what our communities have always faced sometimes recognized as being part of the fabric of this place and sometimes they fail to protect us, and this is a moment in time where we g et to choose which history we want to go with. And ip want to thank you for making sure to pass this on to push on this, to make sure that this is ordinance is robust and absolutely, thank you, thank you, thank you. For making sure that the private right of action is part of this. Like you said this is history that we are creating. This time we are going to get it right. Thank you. Next speaker please . Good morning, my name is kristine, and i am the teacher and Program Manager for the mothers esl program and, again many of my students are here this morning. And we are here to thank you, and thank all of you for the time and energy that you have put into this ordinance. And it makes us extremely proud to be san franciscans. And as one of my students said the other day, she said you know, i think that i have to thank trump for one thing. And i said what is that . And she said, because here in San Francisco, people are starting to be nicer to us. And in fact, on the way over here this morning, as we were walking there was a gentleman who said, wait, hey, no hate, no hate. I love you guys. And so, thanks again, and we do so much appreciate your energy and thoughtfulness on this ordinance and hope that it can be a blueprint for the rest of the country. Thank you. Thank you so much. I just wanted to say that we apply for school, we register to vote, but the city officials i just want to thank you and i am glad that you guys are making us apply for this Muslim Registry and keeping us safe as if we are now part of the mission, we would not want to apply for this. And we are not a threat and this is a great nation and we want to thank you guys for standing strong against this discrimination. Thank you. Thank you so much. Hi, my name is jerry garber and i would want to say that as a jewish resident of the city of San Francisco i stand with the Muslim Community and i really thank you for what you are doing. Thank you. Thank you so much. Next speaker . Hi, my name is malaka i am eleven and i am in the 6th grade. Hey, creating a Muslim Registry is not normal. We do not deserve to be treated like as we were others. Thank you for making sure our city does not cooperate with this order. Thank you so much. Greetings of peace. My mame is loudi. I would like to first thank you all for coming today and representing our rights. And allowing us to share our voices. I believe that everyone deserves the right to live in peace. As a yemen arab, american muslim i am very proud to be here and be able to share my voice. What makes america is its Diverse People that includes arabs latinos african americans, christians jus, muslim and more, we are all one nation, brothers and sisters mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, i have a close person who told me a quote that i memorized and never forgot. The quote is proud to be who i am. When you guys want to say proud to be who i am with me now. Okay. Proud to be who i am. And so on the count of three. We are going to say 1, 2, 3. Proud to be who i am. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Good morning supervisors, my name is skria hakeem and i have lived in San Francisco for three decades. And i love my city. And i cannot imagine signing up for Muslim Registry. Thank you for your understanding, and how prejudice that is and how hard it would be to explain to my grandchildren that they are different because of their faith. That is unlike other children. Once again, i thank you very much for your support, and thank you. Hi, my name is calkut and i live in San Francisco. We thank you for talking and your hard work in this law we are proud to be San Francisco. And we are really happy we are angry that muslims registry will be thank you thank you so much. I want to say thank you to the supervisor and the full board next week to pass this ordinance, thank you. Good morning and i am here on my own behalf, i have been in the bay area for a few months, i lived for a long time in the arab country, south east michigan. I wish that i didnt have to be here, where my parents grew up despite political turbulence and dictate or ship they had free healthcare, and they went to the university for free and womans rights were respected and music, and poetry and literature fluished and after several wards sanctions and occupations my parentss home land is no longer liveable. So we panic about the oroville dam dam and we dont have enough funds to do anything about it, but we always have enough money involved to bomb the dams on the tigress. And the citizens that are targeted by the ban deserve a safe haven here and i encourage extreme vetting of the areas where they choose to reside in the u. S. To make sure that they are not exposed to arabphobia and to be sure that they are comforted as much as possible considering the anguish that they will feel for the rest of their lives for being torn away from their home lands. Thank you so much. It thank you for the hearing last time around and hearing the community and the gravity of what we are all are facing together here in San Francisco and in the bay area. And for really pushing for whatever strength we could add to the ordinance, as you have heard, our various organizations in the xhnts will xhublt communities will come forward to move this language forward to set a precedent that when we are facing such difficult and discrimination issues from the federal level that we will come out strong and have ordinances that truly do protect our communities. So thank you for your leadership. Thank you for all of your work on this. I think that two weeks ago San Francisco pulled out of the task force and that was great by the supervisor and today it is a great moment that we should thank the supervisors for supporting this ordinance. San francisco should lead the way. Thank you for that. Thank you so much. I want to say thank you so much and i want to keep the city safe and i am happy that you guys are being part of that, and so that what i have to say to my students and my kids too, thank you so much. Thank you. I would like to thanks you guys and i hope that we will stand here next time because we know that you are doing a great job. And i would like to thank you again because Everybody Knows you know, the United States is built by and this backed and oral agent. And thank you guys and thank you for everything. And whatever we say, we cannot appreciate that. Thank you so much, the small message we would like to thank you guys, thank you so much, god bless you and god bless america. Thank you so much. Is there anybody else that would like to speak during Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Would anybody like to make any comments or a motion to adopt the amendments . I would like to thank you supervisor for following up on this and actually we are really incorporating i think what we heard at the last Committee Meeting for these extra protections that i think that are really important and also, to thank the mayor and for the supervisor cohen also to work on this with you, and to our upper city, attorney also for their advice. And then i would like to say to the community, that you know, as a san franciscan, and i think as an american citizen, i just want to really apologize that we even have to go here and do this. I feel such a sense of embarrassment. I think and shame that actually our country is going in this correction that we find this necessary which, i think we thought that this would never happen or it would come to this. But i am glad that we are taking protections. But at the same time after the hearing last week, or two weeks ago i have to say that i was feeling such a great sense of shame and embarrassment about our country and about the direction that our country is going. And i think that i am also very foo fearful but most of all i am deeply ashamed and i just want to apologize and
