neighborhood we had a great community. yes, we lived in poverty and yes, there were challenges around hopelessness and despair but a community that was a community of people that port and loved one another. and if modify of that frustration we saw were many of those smiles, much of that joy, go from that to a lot of death and construction when we saw and a significant influx of guns in our community and we saw a significant loss of life and most of that loss of life was people who grew up with one another and people who were connected in so many different ways, people's families were related and in almost every single instance was a a. man, i

went to school them the playground and look at did photos i come here over and over i know everyone in the photos and people who have families, who is where kids are kids, who have loved ones, and the reason why we come here is because whether we have been impacted directly in our lives or not there is always a group of people who want to see us put an end to sense unless gun violence i can say so much who kids nowadays are going through grouping the schools were our safe zones and now mass shootings at schools and elementary school and universities where our we went right away away from a community

that was built with death and destruction go to school it is safe and that is no longer what have very come to people are fighting and developing in gun liberties in the criticize to protect people's right to bear arms over kids rights to live and survive this is where we are and this is why so many of us are here and grateful to our attorney general for being here because (clapping.) he carries are them the ability to use the law to protect and to save lives against gun violence? the lesson we'll use to make sure that young people are growing up the city in the state and in the country in safe

environments and appreciate especially all the mother here and folks on the community who are here, all the (clapping.) people and elected leaders because the people that you see here are the people that how always see here you also don't see what these people go on the ground every single day how they go 80 soovpt to fight against the laws that are imposed that make it easier for people to get guns on the street we're fighting the fight so many other things are the people who are the ones that show up that show up every single time and they're going to deny to be on the ground whether the councilmember detoy are there or not this is good for the loss of one life to senseless gun violence so too many we'll stand behind and

[♪♪♪] >> i just don't know that you can find a neighborhood in the city where you can hear music stands and take a ride on the low rider down the street. it is an experience that you can't have anywhere else in san francisco. [♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪] >> district nine is a in the southeast portion of the city. we have four neighborhoods that i represent. st. mary's park has a completely unique architecture. very distinct feel, and it is a very close to holly park which is another beautiful park in san francisco. the bernal heights district is unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in all of san francisco. there is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. it is as if you are swinging over the entire city. there are two unique aspects. it is considered the fourth chinatown in san francisco. sixty% of the residents are of chinese ancestry. the second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. there is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. not only for san francisco but for the region. and of course, it is the

location in mclaren park which is the city's second biggest park after golden gate. many people don't know the neighborhood in the first place if they haven't been there. we call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. where we are right now is the mission district. the mission district is a very special part of our city. you smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. they have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. and then you walk further down and you have sunrise café. it is a place that you come for the incredible food, but also to learn about what is happening in the neighborhood and how you can help and support your community. >> twenty-fourth street is the birthplace of the movement. we have over 620 murals. it is the largest outdoor public

gallery in the country and possibly the world. >> you can find so much political engagement park next to so much incredible art. it's another reason why we think this is a cultural district that we must preserve. [♪♪♪] >> it was formed in 2014. we had been an organization that had been around for over 20 years. we worked a lot in the neighborhood around life issues. most recently, in 2012, there were issues around gentrification in the neighborhood. so the idea of forming the cultural district was to help preserve the history and the culture that is in this neighborhood for the future of families and generations. >> in the past decade, 8,000 latino residents in the mission district have been displaced from their community. we all know that the rising cost of living in san francisco has

led to many people being displaced. lower and middle income all over the city. because it there is richness in this neighborhood that i also mentioned the fact it is flat and so accessible by trip public transportation, has, has made it very popular. >> it's a struggle for us right now, you know, when you get a lot of development coming to an area, a lot of new people coming to the area with different sets of values and different culture. there is a lot of struggle between the existing community and the newness coming in. there are some things that we do to try to slow it down so it doesn't completely erase the communities. we try to have developments that is more in tune with the community and more equitable development in the area. >> you need to meet with and gain the support and find out the needs of the neighborhoods. the people on the businesses that came before you. you need to dialogue and show respect. and then figure out how to bring

in the new, without displacing the old. [♪♪♪] >> i hope we can reset a lot of the mission that we have lost in the last 20 years. so we will be bringing in a lot of folks into the neighborhoods pick when we do that, there is a demand or, you know, certain types of services that pertain more to the local community and working-class. >> back in the day, we looked at mission street, and now it does not look and feel anything like mission street. this is the last stand of the latino concentrated arts, culture and cuisine and people. we created a cultural district to do our best to conserve that feeling. that is what makes our city so cosmopolitan and diverse and makes us the envy of the world. we have these unique neighborhoods with so much cultural presence and learnings, that we want to preserve. [♪♪♪]
