Us. My name is patricia. I did not finish college because i couldnt pass public speaking. But im standing here right now in city hall, speaking, because this is so important to me. As an older adult, i have been taking classes at the senior center. And ive learned a little bit of public speaking and also computers. And that is how i found out about it last night, googling and hearing the news. So this is very important to me that these classes stay. Ive been shocked and awed the last few years with whats been going on. I thought i was numb to a lot of the everymorning upsets. But today, i was mad. And i decided to do something about it. And thats why im speaking today. Please vote with your heart and not with your pocketbook. I thank you for your time. Thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is candice fault. Im a resident of our fine city of San Francisco. And im also one of the coleaders of the San Francisco chapter of citizens climate lobby. I would like to thank all of you for the tim
Through 70s was a Thriving Black Community known all over the world. It established black businesses. Black people werent allowed to leads outside the fillmore because of racism so we were a self sustaining community. The beautiful thing about the fillmore is that you had white, jewish, you had all people from all over the world coming to shop and spend their money in black businesses. It was really the togetherness that we all strive for. My daughter and my great uncle played jazz on fillmore. But the city, the federal government and the state through redevelopment agency, through the board of supervisors who held the power decided to use imminent domain and bulldoze the fillmore. 40 square blocks was bulldozed. That red dot on the picture, thats where sheafway is. You can see st. Marrys marrysa theydral. Thats the National Distribution center for the newspaper. It was the fillmore heritage center. You can see the highrise building projects. They bulldozed our community and put us in
House, and the main work that we did was with the native american community, and at that time it was with the 558 federally recognized tribes was one group, but there was also a special group that they talked about, and that was urban indians. Those that lived in urban centers that were not recognized, that were not on the map. So we went out of the way with president clinton. We hosted the First National conference for native americans with president clinton, so thats something that i carrie with me to this day. So i really appreciate supervisor ronen, supervisor brown, addres well as the enti Community Coming out for this important item. Secondly, im moving for landmark designation for 4767 through 4776 Mission Street. Both of the the Royal Bakery Company was built in 1935 and is one of San Franciscos most exuberant examples of our deco design as noted by the original green and yellow ceramic tile cladding, saw tooth peak parapet with pins and speed lines. It also has significance in
12 years. Theres a lot of issues on the table here today, reparations for destruction of the black community, i support nurses in the e. R. , i support taxi drivers, i still take taxis. I will not take uber or lyft because im a union person. It seems like the people here in San Francisco are hurting. And thats what im hearing from everybody today. So i know that you guys are not god, and you cant solve all the problems, but to the extent that you can, im asking for help. You are probably tired about hearing of city college needing help because weve been at this for eight years one way or another. Ive been campaigning for several things to get more funding for probably at least eight years if not longer than that. But what i want to say is this midnight massacre of this last 300 classes, its like the straw that breaks the camels back. So we really need your help on this. And a lot of other people in this room need help as well. Thank you. Next speaker. Thank you for your patience and go
Next speaker. Hell hello, hello, supervisor. I love all of you, but i came in late as i always do about that trans i am so sick and tired about being confused as a transgender, and at least once a month, i get my ass beat like a man, and im sick of it. And most of the time, its by some male security that works for somebody, and like i tell them, you need to get a female. What we need is more females that are put in security positions so that when theyre interacting with a female, they can just say come on, maam. And i just had to do it today with lutheran social services, and im going to leave it at that because i feel like i have a relationship and an opendoor policy with some of you alls offices, but some of you need to get some candy. Thank you. President yee next speaker, please. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. My condolences to supervisor safai. I hope he rests in peace, your father. We sat down with kate teran. Were told she cannot do a buy back, that thats above her. Whos
