One of juliets mentors. She is a young woman. When i was working as director of communications at the urban habitat, you know, at the time carl anthony was the executive director and president of Earth Island Institute with david brauer. And juliet was working on her mba at San Francisco state, and i was asked to sit in on the interview when she came to apply for a job as carls assistant. Basically, a very lowlevel job. But what i was id impressed by was shear passion and her commitment and her caring for community and for people, marginalized people of every color. And i sat through that interview. And when she walked out of the room, we had a flood of people from San Francisco state, from university of california, from stanford who really wanted to work as an assistant to carl anthony who was then president of and chair of the urban habitat which was the oldest Environmental Justice organization in the country. I was honored and excited, and carl and i looked at each other, and we sa
University that is excited about whats happening in california and the work that shes doing. Where was she last week . She was invited to Cornell University to the Africanamerican Studies Program to talk to them about Public Utilities because there aint no black people. And, so, to see on the web these young africanamerican and asian and latino women that she spoke to that then felt like there was a place for them in Public Utilities, so, this is a disgrace, its an insult. I live i grew up in Hunters Point so i dont want to hear about Hunters Point and territoriality. People are suffering [speaker not understood], and i dont understand why were here this evening. So, i would beg you to reject and the other thing that concerns me, somebody said, well, this is a bunch of lawyers. Well, im concerned about a bunch of lawyers who have entered into a who dont understand contract law, who have entered into a contract that they have all signed off on, that she has signed off on.

Side to this story because the juliet i know would never knowingly do something unethical. Juliet prefers to err on the side of caution. She was a boss who could take no for an answer, which was a good thing for me as a chief financial person. She encouraged us to be honest and up froth with her and ask probing questions before making a decision. Juliet is passionate about her work. She truly cares about the issues affecting lowincome people and people of color and has worked all her career for justice. Juliet has a brilliant, brilliant mind and can do far more good at the puc to benefit the city of San Francisco than outside of it.
