place to live. >> this case centered around an outdoor sleeping ban in grants pass, oregon. in a63 decision along ideological lines, the justices found that such bans do not violate the eighth amendment. reaction from state and local leaders has been mixed. >> governor gavin newsom issued a statement saying this decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years and limited their ability to deliver on common sense measures to protect the safety and well-being of our communities. >> another city that's been grappling with the issue san francisco. abc seven news reporter suzanne phan joining us now with reaction from leaders on both sides of this debate. suzanne. >> so, larry, kristin, some san francisco city leaders and concerned residents say this is a step in the right direction when it comes to tackling the homelessness crisis. the mayor says this gives the city the ability to take more aggressive action to keep streets clean and clear. >> as a result of this decision, we are able to enforce the law

and to clear the encampments off the street. now, mayor london breed says the supreme court's decision friday on clearing homeless camps is a big boost. >> she says san francisco has acted with compassion, offering services and shelter to homeless people. but many people continue to refuse the help. >> this is about people who are refusing. we cannot continue to allow anything to go, and that's why this decision is a good decision for us, because we will be able to take progressive action in order to get people off the streets and make them more uncomfortable about trying to be on the streets in the first place. >> this comes at a time when the unsheltered population in san francisco county is 4300 people. the coalition on homelessness says banning camping outside in public spaces could mean punishing people with fines or jail time when they don't have any other place to sleep. >> homeless people are already suffering out on the streets, and this is a big kick in the knees and they're losing a right that says that they can't be

arrested or cited for being too poor to afford a place to live when no shelter is available. >> san francisco's mayor and city attorney say the city will not immediately start enforcing fines or people sleeping outside the city will need to review the decision and determine what steps are next. what is clear? >> the answer is they could be cited. this case does allow us to address some of the more difficult situations we've had challenging homeless encampment situations where individuals have refused offers of shelter and services, where someone will just pick up a tent and just move down a block. and this decision will give the city more flexibility to address that. >> going on 7 or 8 years or more for nearly a decade, 50 year old isabella roberts has been living on the streets. >> robert doesn't agree with the supreme court's decision to allow homeless camps to be cleared. she says she won't move to a shelter. >> they can't force us. i'd like to see him try. i wouldn't say

in a shelter if he paid me all the money. oops. on the, planet, some of the shelters here are dangerous. >> mayor breed says it will take time to update city policies and train staff. she also says law enforcement might be more involved now in clearing encampments. meanwhile, coalition on homelessness says its lawsuit against san francisco fillled in fall 2020 will now proceed. it resulted in a federal injunction restricting the city from sweeping homeless encampments. a federal magistrate judge paused the case until after the u.s. supreme court's decision. live in the newsroom suzanne vaughn, abc seven news. >> suzanne, thank you. also today, the supreme court overturned a 40 year old ruling known as the chevron decision. a change that weakens the power of federal regulators in the 1984 case, san ramon based chevron lost a lawsuit against the natural resources defense council. the ruling determined lower courts should defer to federal agencies when laws passed by congress are not crystal clear. today's decision changes that, and the nrdc says

it puts too much authority in the hands of lower court judges. >> well, this is a terrible decision. it shows again that the current court majority is on a rampage. you may now have random judges from, say, amarillo, texas deciding all kinds of national questions, from assuring the safety of heart medicines uh- to determining clean air standards, or what it takes to keep doors from blowing off of airplanes, you name it. >> the biden administration has said throwing out the chevron decision could be destabilizing to the federal government and the nation's legal system. >> the 4th of july is now less than a week away, and so-called safe and sane fireworks are now on sale in three alameda county cities dublin, union city and newark. abc seven news reporter lena howland explains how sellers plan to distribute those fireworks safely. >> nonprofits across dublin are

gearing up to help celebrate america's birthday with a bang for dublin high. >> for athletics, this is our biggest fundraiser of the year. >> 15 safe and sane fireworks stands across dublin opened at noon on friday. each one is operated by a different organization which gets to keep 50% of the proceeds. the dublin high school booster club is one of those groups. >> yeah, every year we get people from all over the bay area that come and purchase their fireworks. the money that we raise goes for uniforms. anything related to athletics when they have meets anything like that for the trainers. >> tim putney here from san ramon, was one of the first in line. >> i'm a little surprised that they're still doing it with everybody else pulling back. but but you know glad they are. i think it's a lot of fun. and you know if it's done the right way and safely, you know, people can have a lot of fun. >> the use of safe and sane fireworks is only permitted at single family homes here in dublin, and four different parks across the city, including here at emerald glen park.

>> that parking lot gets filled that night with people using their safe and sane fireworks. they put on a great show without needing to explode or rise. but in the bay area outside of dublin, newark and union city, even these safe and sane fireworks are illegal because of fire risk. >> fortunate that every year we run over 50 vegetation fires from these fireworks on 4th of july last year, two structure fires resulted from those california has already seen an explosive start to fire season, and the contra costa fire protection district is bracing for the worst and what's coming our way next week is a heat wave locally within contra costa, we're anticipating a 105 degree temperatures in antioch on wednesday, and this is setting the stage for very dangerous holiday weekend. >> firework stands will stay open until noon on july fifth in dublin. lena howland abc seven news pride festivities are kicking off in san francisco ahead of the big parade on

sunday. >> hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend pride events and parties starting this evening. preparations are underway at the civic center, which is being transformed into an events venue for the weekend. flags are flying in the castro as businesses get ready to celebrate. >> i think between saturday and sunday at the civic center will have over 400,000. i suspect the weather is going to be good on sunday, so i think down market street for the parade will have over a million people. so 1.5 million people for the weekend there were more than 200 marriages at san francisco city hall today to celebrate marriage equality, mayor london breed served as a marriage celebrant for this happy couple here. >> it's 20 years since then mayor gavin newsom directed city officials to issue same sex marriage licenses. you can watch the parade live wherever you are. abc seven is the official station for the san francisco pride parade. our coverage kicks off sunday at 10 a.m. the parade

starts at 1030. see it wherever you watch abc7. >> all right, let's get a quick look from meteorologist sanjay patel at how the weather shaping up for everybody that's going to be involved with pride and other activities. sandhya. >> yeah, it's looking great. larry and kristen, let me show you a live picture right now from our sutro tower camera. >> san francisco basking in the sun. and this is what it looks like right now. 70 degrees in the city, 73 in oakland in the mid 80s from san jose to san ramon. brentwood is at the mid 90s. point santa rosa 90 right now, 88 in sonoma compared to 24 hours ago. everyone's up except for half moon bay by nine degrees in hayward. and as you check out the hourly forecast, you will notice tonight at 5:00. it's still pretty warm inland, but along the coast the fog is rolling back in. temperatures begin to drop off into the 50s and late tonight it's going to be 50s to 70s. if you are going to be taking part in any of the pride festivities. now for the pride parade sunday morning. you couldn't ask for better weather. areas of fog mid 60s coming up

into the upper 60s. sunny and warmer for the afternoon. we'll see those 70s and still pretty mild at 4:00 in the afternoon, although it will get a little breezy in the upper 60s. we have some serious heat coming our way for next week. i'll be back with the excessive heat watch and the temperatures coming up. larry >> all right. thank you. sandhya. president biden and his campaign are in full scale damage control today, hours after the president's debate performance that sparked major concern from democrats. >> i know i'm not a young man. state the obvious. i don't walk as easy as i used to. i don't speak as smoothly as i used to. i don't debate as well as i used to, but i know what i do know. i know how to tell the truth >> looks like a totally different person from what we saw last night. mr. biden received a rousing response during a post-debate campaign rally in north carolina. his appearance came as his campaign operatives insist the president will not drop out of this race.

meanwhile, former president trump is also back on the campaign trail, taking what he called a victory lap in chesapeake, virginia. the presumptive republican presidential nominee told the crowd of supporters that joe biden's age is not the problem. his incompetence is, according to mr. trump, referring to last night's debate. >> so joining us now to break down what happened during last night's debate and what's happening now today is abc seven news insider phil matier. and phil, what are you hearing from democrats? and i guess we should break that down to democratic voters and democratic insiders. well, democratic insiders are concerned, and they're very good at being concerned. >> i would have to say, you know, when something like this happens with the republicans, if there's a big meltdown or a flop , they coalesce, they coalesce, they get behind the candidate and that's it. they wall it off. democrats very diverse. they split up and they're all on social media, and they're talking to each other on the phones and leaking it to the various news agencies that they have concerns. okay. what do those concerns manifest themselves in? well, they want chuck schumer, the president of

the senate, or, nancy pelosi, the former speaker of the house. they want them to go to the white house and say, joe biden, it's time to step aside. that is not going to happen. it's not. it's joe biden's decision. one way or the other. so while we have these grumblings in there, you're going to see it. the next step is we'll see is the post-debate polling how much damage was really done. that's the next one. and then after that, the big question is going to be, will there be another event which joe biden goes forward, the one at the debate or the one at the rally? >> well, if you're really a democratic supporter, that that has to be concerning based on what we saw last night. i know we've talked about this the past couple of days that that you don't see a scenario where mr. biden takes himself out of the race. however, last night, a lot of the pundits were talking and gavin newsom's name comes up. >> it does. now, biden's not going to take himself out of the race now, but it still a couple of months to go and we have to see what the trajectory is. as for gavin newsom, he is going to

be hitting the campaign trail not for himself but for president biden. he's going to be swinging through states. uh- pitching and backing the president. his name comes up as a possible replacement. that's not going to happen. his people don't think that's going to happen. they don't want it to happen. if biden decides to bow out, the first right of refusal goes to vice president kamala harris. okay, that's that's what would be. so we'd have to be she would have to then bow out or not get the nomination. and then if it goes to gavin newsom, you're talking about a very short campaign to try to make it. i think he's going to save himself for 2028. >> but normally, while that's not done and normally that would look disadvantaged like, right. but what about now when people are just overall feeling like we're tired of both candidates really need someone fresh and new? could he benefit from that or somebody else? >> he could have. but you know, the numbers have stayed pretty consistent for the past year in this race. it's trench warfare. and democrats tell me that the

big turning point was the midterm elections, when the democrats thought they were going to be swamped by the rising red tide, the red wave. and it didn't happen. okay. so joe biden was able to say we did better than expected. that stopped everybody from saying anything. and now the clock kept ticking and ticking. and now we're here. so people say, how could you have let this happen? that's how it let it happen. because they were thinking possibly it could change and it could go for the right way. >> so you mentioned polling numbers. cnn put out a debate poll, post-debate poll, 81% said what happened will not change their mind. maybe that's comforting to president biden, but there's also has to be massive concern there. >> is there is. and those polls also show that a number of people weren't happy with either candidate. right, exactly. so it was the difference was this donald trump was donald trump with all his flaws, with all his exaggerations, with his lies and such. joe biden was a different joe biden than most people had seen. they don't pay attention to him on a regular and close to 80 million people watched that

debate, and in the first 15 minutes is where it went off the rails. so they were all watching it. that is a huge first impression to make on the campaign. that was the start of the campaign last night. that was the start. >> okay, so how do you recover from this? if you're a biden, what's your strategy? >> your strategy is to go out there and just keep doing it. delivering these sort of controlled, statements and such in front of your rally troops, where you have the teleprompter, and you can show get your surrogates out there and try to make it. that's what you can do. that's that's what you do and try to avoid another incident like last night. the problem with with the president is, like gerald ford and other people who have tripped up in the past presidents, once you are pegged as somebody that has that kind of problem, everything serves to reinforce it. and one of the reasons last night was such a big trauma was that people had been talking about the possibility of it happening for months, and then it did. so what debates do is they reinforce perceptions people already have, and that's what happened last

night. all right. >> great insight, phil. thank you. >> just ahead states farms demand to jack up insurance rates in california. could that happen any time soon. also the san jose sharks are set to make the most high profile draft pick in franchise history. casey pratt reports live from the tank. and it's been a year since san francisco supervisors changed zoning laws to help revitalize union square. reporter lyanne melendez investigates whether there's been any improvement

ratchet it up. when state farm requested one of its biggest rate increases ever, a sign the company may be struggling financially. here's abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley with our seven on your side report. >> it's critical to understand that nothing changes today for state farm policyholders. >> state farm is asking for a 30% rate increase next year, on the heels of a recent rate hike of almost 20, as they drop many policyholders, they are the largest residential homeowners insurers in california, insuring 1 in 5 homes. >> the rate filing that state farm just made yesterday. they're triggering a rarely used part of the insurance law. it's a regulation that's really meant to address a company's financial

solvency. that's what they're saying. and we're going to look closely at that. and we have some serious questions about state farm's financial condition. and we're going to get to the bottom of it. >> in a statement today, state farm told abc seven news state farm general is working toward its long term sustainability in california. rate changes are driven by increased costs and risk. the california department of insurance said they're finishing up regulatory revisions that should give homeowners more insurance options in 2025. i'm in this insurance crisis. >> we're in right now. that is really the big problem facing californians, that there are not enough options, particularly if you're in a place that has any kind of wildfire risk. and so we're working on some changes to the insurance regulations, long needed overdue reforms that are going to lead to more choices for consumers. >> state farm's financial situation could trigger a rate hearing as the state investigates, as the department reviews the rate hike request.

state farm customers could potentially see their rates go up on their renewal date in 2025, not immediately. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> uh. the weekend is almost here. so close. you can almost you can almost taste it. and then what you're going to taste is something really hot, right? >> i was going to say everybody else is tasting the weekend already. >> but what. well yeah, there's some truth to that. >> yeah. look looking pretty nice, right? sandhya, it is looking beautiful for the weekend. >> yeah. kristen and larry, you know what? we're going to be able to enjoy some nice weather here for pride festivities for any other outdoor plans. but things are really going to change next week. so let's say for the moment take a look at this live picture from our mount tam cam as we look back towards san francisco. nothing but blue skies right now. it is warm in santa rosa and petaluma in the santa rosa. excuse me, 90 degrees fairfield, 95. petaluma is at 82 right now. concord livermore in the low 90s from our exploratorium camera seeing

as a player with ties to the warriors, maclean celebrini chosen number one. his father's rick celebrini, who is the director of sports medicine and performance for the golden state warriors. abc seven's casey pratt joins us live from the sap center. casey. thousands gathered for this draft party. they got to be pumped. >> yeah, they are fired up out here, larry. at last count, it was around 17,200 tickets sold. they were given away for free, but sold uh- for this event. and to think, all these fans gathered around just to watch the tv and hear these words be

spoken with the first overall selection in the 2024 nhl draft, the san jose sharks are very proud to select from boston university. >> macklin celebrini. >> streamers. confetti. fog machines. fog. horns screaming fans. everybody was so fired up for a moment that they kind of all knew coming. we knew the sharks had the first overall pick for the first time in franchise history. we all knew it was going to be macklin celebrini, his dad. even essentially came on and said as much, but everybody in this organization is so excited for the future. >> the one thing they all talk about is his compete level, his absolute determination to be as great as he can be, that's number one. just from the

internals. it's not a surprise in considering his upbringing and what he's been around. right. when draymond green says, you better draft that guy, we maybe we should listen. and we did. >> you wouldn't believe he just turned 18. he's got a lot of poise. he really understands not just his role on the ice but his role off the ice as well. his tie to the community, the fact that his parents are only going to live 40 miles away from the shark tank really makes him an authentically a shark, because now macklin celebrini a kid with bay area ties like we all know, his dad worked for the warriors. >> he was a junior shark. larry, you really couldn't have written a better hollywood script for today. and you can see it. you can hear it. the people here feel something building something. they deserve something. they've been waiting for a long time. and this is a special day for team teal, larry. >> absolutely. and i wasn't sure if it was joe thornton or z.z top making the selection. there because joe's got the full beard going. but enjoy the party. sharks have another pick coming up later in round one. thanks,

casey. >> the effort to pump new life into san francisco's union square. >> up next, the major change that city leaders ordered last year. it's worked in some other places, but how about here?

to help offset the dramatic number of store closures, but is it working? >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez went looking to see if the change is actually making an impact and trying to help build a better bay area. right, so we think of ourselves as very progressive, right? >> but san francisco began this so-called economic downward trend in the union square area years before the pandemic. and

instead of reinventing itself like other cities have, san francisco moved at a snail's pace. union square was the shopping mecca of the bay area, always the place to be seen where demonstrators found a voice. bands entertained, mayors held wine festivals while another used it to launch his campaign not to mention, a us president has been on the square. everyone found their way here, even a man and his rat. and the 1980s was unofficially the golden age of union square. and city planners did their best to keep the office sector away. that person waving below is me because i want to show you how kearny street was once the dividing line between the financial district and union square. so office spaces stayed confined to that side of kearny, basically preventing them from entering union square. >> we wanted, i think, as a city, to really protect union

square because it represented a global enterprise. >> but everyone knows a business district has to evolve to thrive, and it took the city decades to finally own up to that. >> the idea that a flagship store needs two stories, you know, maybe even three, is very much outdated. >> larissa ortiz, a former new york city planning commissioner, was called in to help understand what was keeping union square from succeeding. >> we uncovered that some of the zoning codes were really a bit antiquated. they were legacy codes for a time. you know, that no longer existed. >> so in the past, the old zoning laws determined that a landlord with three leasable floors could only rent that space to one company. >> you need it three levels of retail or whatever it was. and so why not get, you know, do away with that and instead create flexibility and say, what is it that you want to do? i just want this on the first

floor and maybe something else on the second floor and maybe something different on the third, or i just want the first. excellent. let's make that work for you both. >> mayor london breed and supervisor aaron peskin came up with a legislation to change the zoning laws here, which the board of supervisors then approved a year ago. how many businesses do you have on the books? >> yeah, so i think that take advantage of these new zoning laws we're hearing, which we weren't hearing last year. you know, wow, the tours are picking up. people are interested, they're sniffing around. they want to know what what they can do here. and apparently they're getting some some deals done right from deal making to opening can be a year. it could be two years, right? takes time. >> so we really don't know how many businesses have taken advantage of the code changes. we know they work to make. new york city's wall street financial area facing a massive exodus following nine over 11, the city allowed for a radical change from office only spaces to residential and new businesses, which today has led

to a thriving neighborhood. part of the revitalization of union square will depend on voters approving a bond measure, part of it going towards the powell street improvement plan. powell street, with its cable cars, have long been the gateway to union square. >> i really think with focus attention, the right investment, union square can be back in a year and a half. we will we will see it a year and a half. >> that's rather ambitious. but there is some urgency here because there are still many spaces that have not been leased. san francisco is not collecting taxes. that's a large chunk of the city's tax base. and as union square goes, so does the rest of san francisco. i have to say, i lived very close to the wall street area, and when i lived there about 30 years ago, it was deserted at night. nothing would happen. it was scary, actually. and boy, they really turned that around.

there was that will to make it more residential, more nightlife and they've really succeeded. but it took time. >> yeah, it's also a really challenging time for brick and mortar stores with amazon's dominance. so. right. correct >> hopefully that's another story. >> thank you. okay. yes we'll talk about that next week. thank you liane. >> all right a new report released today by the state attorney general shows the number of overall hate crime events in 2023 has gone down in california, but the lgbtq, plus jewish and muslim communities have seen an increase in hate crimes against them. overall. reported hate crime decreased by 7.1% last year from 2022. anti-black bias events remain the most prevalent, despite a 20.6% drop in anti-asian hate crimes decreased by nearly 11. but anti-jewish bias crimes increased by nearly 53. it went up by 60% against the muslim community and hate crimes

joining us.

>> two of me would be scary. yeah, exactly. >> larry's very afraid. yeah. >> all right. people looking for love online get frustrated with the process and experience a phenomenon known as dating app burnout. uh. some others call it know your coworkers. anyway. uh- a clinical psychologist, found that three out of every four people she works with used dating apps. she says between 80 to 90% have said they feel fatigue or burnout at some point. experts say that's due in part because success is never promised with online dating. it's not promised in person dating either. >> yeah, no, absolutely. that was going to be my first comment, but i think it's much more, i guess, rapid fire uh- through apps. and i think there's just burnouts on app and technology altogether. so it's just kind of faster. but yeah, there's no guarantee you meet somebody at the bar or at a park, whatever. no guarantee that's going to work. >> yeah. sandhya, you, one thing you hear is that, you know, people say, okay, you know, i'm going to click on somebody and

then you sit down across from them, they look nothing like the profile picture that you just saw. >> yeah. isn't it amazing, larry, how they can really tweak the photo and post it as to make them look a certain way? i know there, i mean, but like ama said, there is no guarantee. i mean, whether you meet them in person or on the app. >> yeah. >> two questions that pop into my head. one was this study funded by a matchmaking service? and two, why are we talking about it? like, i think all of us were married to other people before these apps even came out. not to say we're old. okay. yeah, yeah. so the nba draft wrapped up last night, and the most mystery and intrigue surrounded bronny james, the son of lebron james. his dad's team, the lakers, selected bronny with the 55th pick. immediately. larry were we not talking about this? there are cries of nepotism, considering the 19 year old james played only one year at usc and came back from a serious heart issue. so that will give a lot of teams pause normally. right. but, you know,

and when he did play, he was not normally considered at the level of an nba prospect. so i do see those nepo baby hashtags. but larry, what do you think? >> well, to think that this is the first case of nepotism in sports would be you know, really a reach, and no disparaging here. steve kerr's the coach of the warriors. his son is coaching the warriors g league team that just did not happen by accident. okay, in the case of bronny, look, if his last name was not james, he probably would not have been drafted at all. the lakers are kind of doing a favor for lebron and hoping that he'll resign. and, you know, it would be really cool to see father and son on the court playing together, i think. >> didn't he say i'm not retiring until i play with my son? >> yeah, he said that. >> and you know, now he's pondering a 2 or 3 year extension for a gazillion dollars. so you know, i think and he actually has there's another son who's a senior in high school. i think he actually is probably better than bronny. so i mean, imagine, you know, all three. but did it take away

a spot from somebody else who maybe really deserved it? >> i mean, i know you can't get rid of nepotism. >> well, when you're when you're picking 55th, that's way down at the bottom of the second round. so it's not like and this was a kind of a weak draft anyway. so we'll see what bronny could do. yeah >> and sandia, when one of your kids is the meteorologist here at abc 70 uppababy merit on merit. >> something funny. >> none of them are going into this field. >> you're like, thank goodness uh- >> oh, a bizarre discovery at a home in scotland. a family found a gargantuan colony of 180,000 bees in the ceiling of their home, discovered after the owner's kids were complaining of hearing some buzzing at night. yeah, 180,000 will do that, experts identified and safely transferred three colonies worth of bees. they're now being monitored. once deemed healthy, they could be used for honey production in the future. imagine this is that you could you could turn this problem into

a lucrative honey making business. >> yeah. >> i mean, or not just get them out of there. >> i can just hear the parents. so just go to sleep. you're not hearing anything. it's fine. go to bed, anybody else want to jump in on this? >> i mean, i'm just glad that you know, there wasn't this attack of the swarms. and, you know, nothing that comes out of a horror movie, but no. okay, you guys, let's stay on the bug beat because we're loving this so much. a woman's grief over the end of historic cicada emergence in illinois. yeah, the state experienced not one, but two major broods this year, which haven't emerged simultaneously in more than 20 years. but tina saylor of north aurora loves the noisy bug so much that she went around and collected some 6500 of them to fill the netted sanctuary that she built in her yard. she loves him so much she preserves them in ink and inside her freezer. >> oh boy, is it a garage freezer or is it the kitchen

freezer? >> yeah, that's a good question. >> you know the story made sense to me when it said she built a sanctuary for them. and i thought, oh, that's nice. but now we get into the refrigerator and i'm just like, what are we doing? >> becoming a little hannibal like, here? yeah. i'm just like, very strange. >> yes. >> and they're really loud, right? yeah. >> oh, i thought you were going to say they're really tasty. yeah >> protein that. yeah. in chocolate. i'm sure they'd be great. yeah, but maybe again, it's the honey and crunchy, chewy center dipped in honey. >> yeah. >> where's this going? >> you guys sell us? sell us i don't know, all right, i know where it's going. >> to a commercial break. >> thank goodness. >> thanks to arma. arma and sandia. >> you're welcome. welcome >> yeah. for the for it for will

marshal in san francisco's pride parade. rebecca has been a leader in the lgbtq community for decades now, her dedication earning our recognition in today's allies in action report >> i am rebecca rolfe. i'm the executive director here at the san francisco lgbt center. we opened our doors in 2002, so we're just 22 years old this year. it's been, i think, a labor of love on the part of many. we were built by a group of volunteers who came together and really committed to having a center that really started at the height of the aids epidemic. and so i think it felt important to have both a literal home and also something that really felt symbolic and a symbol of strength and security and stability for our community. the center, i think, is particularly important because most of us grew up in families where the

other people in our family were not like us. sometimes that also meant a lot of rejection, sometimes not. but i think that there is a deep need for people in our community to really come together as a community and build support and create connections with each other. and so we're really here to do that. i think we've made tremendous progress as a community and we see greater acceptance, particularly for people who really represent the mainstream of the lgbtq community. we continue to see very significant attacks and marginalization on trans folk, on our youth. and we see particularly impacts around the ways that homophobia and transphobia and racism and gender and economic sort of compound and intersect. one of the important goals of the center is to be here to provide support and address those barriers and really help make sure that everybody in our community has access to a job and housing and stability and health care and all the

resources that we need to be strong and independent and healthy. >> i have so much respect for rebecca. she sincerely cares about our community, and i have watched her in ways she probably would not want me to share with the world. put the staff or everybody, everybody in front of herself for the work, for the movement. she is a change maker and she has really just been doing the work quietly, almost every waking moment for almost 30 years. at this point >> my mom is no longer with us, but my mom was an incredible and passionate advocate ally to every cause that she saw, where she saw injustice represented, she also was tireless and i learned from her a work ethic and a dedication and a passion for the work that really transcends what might be an

individual's capacity. and finally, i learned, you know, the power of working collectively. she really looked at creating collaborations, finding connections, really building the opportunity to connect with other people and build really coalition work, in, in in the struggle for justice and equity. i think my most rewarding experience is, is simply walking through our building and seeing what happens here every single day, you know, watching and participating with volunteers who are helping people get connected to resources, looking at employment counselors, sitting down with folks who are really job seeking and hearing the stories about those people as they get jobs, you know, meeting folks in our youth program and hearing their stories and being able to participate and see their journey as they, you know, begin to get support and begin to build a life. that is what they came here seeking. and i think that that is really the amazing thing.
