And organized sportss in their own neighborhoods. Those students have grown up to be youth organizers and a new generation of kids have been asked to be prioritize over corporate teams. The youth have repeated asked to play baseball even the residents who have tried to go the permitting route have gotten no response or Transparent Communication from our rec and Park Department. Our office was recently told that when the soma youth collaborative tried to apply for a permit to use the baseball diamondback in september, for baseball, that he this they [speaker not understood] we ask for commitment to ensure that the community is not displaced from the public spaces. We heard from staff permits are not designed to generate revenue, but as atool for the community and were asking for a transparent, clear and uniform process that rays out how we can access the space that the community has fought for. Thank you and thank you for continuing dialogue. [ applause ] thank you. Good afternoon commi
It offends me as a resident to see that something as precious as a park that is available for the youth, continues to be visible in the community as being targeted. I would like for the panel to acknowledge that the diversity in the city, the latin culture, the africanamerican culture and even the asian culture has made this city famous for the culture that is here. But that is exiting, because we know inequalities do exist in the city. We would like to see a stand taken against that. So we can continue to be present in the city. But any choices that you are making in regards to for instance our parks, please be considerate these are impacting to our future. These children are our future. These youth are our future and they are seeking every way to remain a positive, visible presence in our city and i hope this is being taken seriously. We know we live in a Capitalistic Society and we would still like to be visible in this society. So please be aware of this when you make your choices
