dorsey backed the mayor's measure. >> we are short in officers. there is a way to use technology to help us enforce the law and deal with the issues the mayor outlined. it will enable our police officers to do their jobs for us. >> more effectively. san franciscans deserve a police department with the same access to surveillance technology as every other county in california. >> today, the spoa, the city police officers union released this statement about safer as a baot initiative. the cpoa supports common sense approaches that help us do our jobs more efficiently. this is about giving our officers the tools to do our job safely and to apprehend suspects before they cause serious harm to innocent people and several organizations say they don't want to comment until they see the ballot measure in writing. however the president of the bar association , san francisco, did offer a statement. quote, it says in part, much of the progress on police reform is due to the

actually see if they're working. and today we're looking at bike lanes in san francisco's mission district. they're supposed to make it safer for cyclists who you see going by here. but now we're learning they're actually hurting local business. abc7 news reporter liz pena joining us live now in the newsroom with a closer look at the problem. louis. >> yeah, that's right, larry. this all comes down to parking and safety for cyclists. sfmta took about 70 parking spots and created a center bike lane along valencia street here in san francisco. but now business owners say people are struggling to come to the area to shop and eat because they can't park. today, the sfmta board of directors heard from several san franciscans who are calling for action now. now, three months ago, we tested and reported on the controversial valencia street bike lane. cars can easily drive through these rubber dividers. back then, it was still under construction and there was already a mix of opinions. >> i don't love it, actually. >> i like it a lot. >> this week we went back and heard from multiple business

owners who say the bike lane is making it hard to survive on valencia street. >> not everybody, you know, take bicycles or walk. people drive to the city in the weekend. our businesses have went down dramatically when the valencia street bike lane was installed, about 70 parking spots were removed from the area. >> i get a lot of calls every day right before the shift starts. i'm sorry. we cannot make it. we've been looking for parking for half an hour for 45 minutes. we have to cancel. >> gola restaurant opened five months ago. rafiq said it was a dream to open his business on this street. but lately it's been a nightmare. >> this is was the last disaster . we were okay with it. the first month because. okay, it's a pilot program and what's the worst could happen? and we've seen the worst. >> supervisor hillary ronen represents the mission district. she said her office has been swamped with hundreds of messages from cyclists complaining about the safety aspect of the bike lane. she's proposing a solution if they made it a one way street, maybe

we could have a place for people to double park. >> we could have bike lanes that are, you know, on the on the sides of the streets. and we could engineer things so that both sides would be happier than they are now today, during an sfmta board of directors meeting, sustainable transportation advocate luke bornheimer called for change. >> either pedestrianized the street or install curbside protected bike lanes immediately, not wait any longer . >> at that same meeting, the citizens advisory committee made strong recommendations to end the pilot program. >> the sfmta cac recommends abandoning the current unintuitive and dangerous center running bicycle lane pilot on valencia and refocusing the street toward its core needs. >> in a statement, sfmta acknowledged the impacts of the bike lane and said in part, we are committed to continue changes throughout the pilot period to optimize the available space. to the extent possible. as it stands now, business owners like rafiq don't think they can wait for the pilot

program to run its course within a year. >> this street will die completely. >> the sfmta board of directors did not make a decision today, but in a statement sfmta said they're actively monitoring the use of loading zones and commercial loading. supervisor ronen is urging the public to contact sfmta with opinion on this bike lane in the newsroom. luz pena, abc7 news as well. >> a celebration today in the south bay over a bill that was signed into law by governor newsom. >> yes, the law creates a statewide policy letting inmates wear religious headwear clothing or more. >> abc seven news reporter, south bay reporter zach fuentes spoke with the lawmaker behind the bill. >> the beard is that is essential to being a man, a muslim man. that's part of your identity, just like it is for a muslim woman to wear the hijab, the head covering that's part of their identity. >> sajjad schacre is well known today for his chain of restaurants named falafel corner. but before his

professional success, he was in prison. it was religion, he says, that led to his achievements and kept him in so many others from returning to prison. >> every study that i've looked at has pointed to the same same outcome that the most transformative and impactful event in a prisoner's life is his religion. >> but one of the biggest challenges of his time in prison were the limitations on how he could express his religion for example, this is a kufi. >> this is something that all muslims wear. didn't want us wearing that they didn't want us to have our beards. they were grooming standards and there were dress codes and they were pretty strict about enforcing them. >> senator dave cortez said there were existing policies that gave inmates the rights to certain religious clothing and headwear, but only at state run facilities. each local detention facility could decide a policy on its own, but a new law creates a widespread policy on religious clothing, headwear and grooming for inmates in california. >> the fact that we've had jail and prison systems that have had

policies that are at odds with religious expression needed to be changed. it needed to be changed. there's no way that those civil rights, those the bill of rights should stop at at the entry point or the booking point into a prison or a jail. senator cortez shakur and other community leaders gathered at the council on american islamic relations site in santa clara tuesday to celebrate the signing of the law that happened earlier this month, a law supporters say isn't just beneficial for the muslim community, but all religions. >> this is monumental for the prison system. this is something i mean, just imagine that you can actually practice your religion without having that fear hanging over you and the south bay. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> coming up on abc seven news at four we have chaos in congress. the fight for speaker of the house. a federal agency opens an investigation into those crews. autonomous vehicles and taking a page out of the history books. a look at one of the early battles for lgbt

jordan, where millions of palestinians are going as they flee their homes. the israeli defense forces said today they're preparing for a wide range attack, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of reserves for combat. at least 500 people in gaza were killed today by an israeli airstrike that was targeting a hospital. meantime the border crossing between gaza and egypt remains closed after four bombings, and that's leaving 3000 tons of aid with nowhere to go. >> now to the contentious efforts to select a new speaker of the house today, ohio representative jim jordan was defeated in his first vote to become speaker. >> so now he has to rally to try to get some more votes. abc news reporter ike ejiochi with the latest for the second time this year, the house of reps resentatives tasked with electing a speaker after the historic ouster of kevin mccarthy. >> from that post. after two weeks of legislative paralysis, early voting got underway in the house on the nomination of conservative republican firebrand jim jordan, a founding

member of the house freedom caucus and a staunch ally of donald trump. new york congresswoman elise stefanik nominating jordan. >> i rise today to nominate the gentleman from ohio, jim jordan, as speaker of the people's house . >> stefanik praising jordan as a patriot and a winner. democrat pete aguilar then nominated the democratic minority leader, hakeem jeffries, for speaker. >> the pride of crown heights, a representative from the state of new york. aguilar focusing much of his remarks on jordan's record, noting that one of jordan's own colleagues once described him as a legislative terrorist. >> 431 members were in attendance, meaning jordan could only afford to lose three votes. it quickly became clear jordan wouldn't have the republican votes to reach the 217 votes needed to become speaker. >> the speaker has not been elected. >> when all the votes present were counted, a surprising 20 of jordan's fellow republicans voted for someone else. several votes for the ousted speaker,

mccarthy bacon. >> mccarthy. mccarthy. while mccarthy himself backing the nominee of his party. >> voting for jordan. >> mccarthy jordan. >> democrats present voted unanimously for jeffries with some also mocking jordan calling insurrectionist. i vote for hakeem now, in that first round of voting minority leader hakeem jeffries actually received more votes than jim jordan. ike ejiochi. abc news, capitol hill. >> san francisco today introduced a new labor law aimed at better protecting employees. is the pro act legislation would hold bad contractors accountable while they'll be monitored for things like wage theft and unfair labor practices. as any company that violates the rules will be eliminated from bidding on city contracts for future projects. >> and this time we're families are suffering from inflation. we have so much food insecurity, a high cost of living, the one thing we're going to make sure

is that our workers are taken care of, that our wage laws are enforced, that our labor laws and our labor practices are enforced. and if you are a contractor, san francisco board of supervisors unanimously approved the pro act legislation at their meeting this afternoon. >> today, sonoma state university students join members of the california faculty association to call attention to contract negotiations between faculty members and the csu system. union members are demanding better working conditions, end quote, reasonable pay. they also blasted the csu board, which approved at a 30% tuition hike over the next five years. >> all right. let's turn to the weather now. and i think we're in for a bit of a warm up. >> see that smile on larry's face? andy likes it warm. bring it on hot. >> absolutely. yeah. see, he's saying loves it because he has air conditioning. kristin, for those who do not have air conditioning, it may be a little

bit tough the next two days. but the good news is it's not going to last very long. so let's talk about what it looks like right now compared to 24 hours ago. everyone running higher except for san francisco and half moon bay. how could we forget how thick the fog was this morning along parts of the bay shoreline , the coast and the north bay that fog has been lingering all afternoon long near the coast, which explains why you haven't really seen your temperatures go up high pressure moving in over the next few days. and that's what's going to bring us the hotter conditions. so we are looking at a heat advisory for much of the bay area starts at 11 a.m. tomorrow for santa cruz mountains and santa clara county. it runs until 11 p.m. thursday. now for the rest of the area, it starts late tomorrow night until 11 p.m. thursday. those temperatures will be soaring, well above average. and that's what's going to be bringing us a risk of heat illnesses, especially for those who do not have adequate air conditioning or a cooling center. also, a beach hazard statement coming up, 2 a.m. to 7

a.m. thursday, 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. thursday, because of the risk of sneaker waves. wave will be building high surf advisory for thursday. so that becomes a high surf advisory. and those breakers will be 17 to 22ft. so be careful if you're going to be at the beaches. a live view from our golden gate bridge camera. it's pretty socked in. you can't even see the towers there. 67 in the city, 73 in oakland. it is currently 80. in san jose and palo alto from our sfo camera, you're seeing that marine layer just kind of hovering there mid 80s from santa rosa to novato 87 in fairfield, 84 for you in concord and lots of sun in walnut creek right now. areas of dense fog overnight temperatures soaring possible records the next two days much cooler weekend with a slight chance to a chance of showers on sunday. tomorrow morning, we will have that fog around. it will be dense in pockets once again for the morning commute and then the fog is expected to push away from many parts of the bay area. and if it does, near the coast, then those temperatures will verify numbers first thing in

the morning in the 50s for most of you, watch out for the fog. tomorrow afternoon in the south bay 96 in gilroy, 90 in san jose. it's going to be pretty warm on the peninsula, 90 in redwood city, 76. half moon bay, downtown san francisco, 84 degrees, well above average with the sun shining in the north bay , 79 for you in sausalito, 91 in san rafael, santa rosa, 89in napa, heading into the east bay, it's going to be noticeable, 85 in oakland, 86, fremont inland areas, you're going to be in the low to mid 90s, 94, fairfield 92. livermore accuweather's seven-day forecast turning up the heat a little bit more on thursday. those temperatures in the 80s and 90s record highs are possible. that's the best day for the records even though tomorrow's possible breezy and cooler friday. and look at the drop in the temperatures over the weekend and it's going to be back to 6070s maybe a few showers on sunday. kristen and larry. wow what a week. >> it's a summer and fall near winter. >> that's what we just had that. >> thank you. >> transition time, october. yes, that's right. 20 something

we get that drop. >> thank you, sandhya. all right . lessons learned. 34 years after the loma prieta earthquake and another reason maybe you may want the window seat the next time you fly

but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

the 1989 giants world series. the quake was centered ten miles northeast of santa cruz, right on the san andreas fault. 63 people killed, thousands more injured. it caused $5.6 billion in damage. >> since loma prieta has the bay area become more prepared for the next earthquake? ross stein, former senior scientist with the us geologic survey, told me today on our 3 p.m. show, getting answers is that one thing we can't feel good about is the development of the earthquake early warning system, the dense seismic network that is required and the complex telemetry tree to put that notification on your phone or on a siren that an earthquake is coming in several seconds is a signal accomplishment of seismology and the government working together to make us safer. >> and we could be proud for that. and that's fantastic. the flip side of that coin is we still have lots of buildings that won't survive an earthquake. we have lots of old buildings. we have lots of

buildings that have been we have not yet been retrofitted where we have a collapse risk from what we say, a soft first story. and so we've very slowly remediating the real problem that buildings kill people if they're not seismically strong. >> stein went on to say he closely monitors activity along the san andreas, and hayward faults in particular because those are in densely populated areas and those are certainly capable of another quake the size of loma prieta or even bigger. >> where were you during the quake? >> i just crossed the bay bridge about an hour before, and i was on the peninsula and what i was watching was just like water in a pool pool sloshing out like it was the ocean waves. and then this eerie silence as it was really freaky. >> i actually was in the caldecott tunnel driving. were you going to the game world series to cover? no, i actually

was was house hunting because i was about to move to the bay area and i had no idea the tunnel did not move an inch. i thought the radio and the car i was driving was broken. i kept banging on the radio and thinking, but but did you not feel the shaking then? >> because not not at all inside. >> so i mean the however they built it, they did a great job with that. that is so did not move an inch by the way. >> we want to make sure you're prepared for the next earthquake. you'll want to go to abc7 news.com/prepare norcal. we have a guide to get you and your family ready now. >> all right. just ahead, a piece of lgbtq history lost and then found again. >> and there's obviously a large scale event, but it was almost completely forgotten. it's like, why do you remember stonewall? but you don't remember compton's the rare footage showing the nation's earliest known gay liberation organization right here in san

gay liberation organization protesting in san francisco. historians now say this video may document the period of time before and then after a riot in san francisco that predates the stonewall uprising in new york. abc7 mornings anchor reggie aqui has this glimpse at lgbtq plus history that you'll only see here on abc7. >> at turk and taylor streets in san francisco is a monument to a little known piece of lgbtq plus history. on a summer night in 1966, a group of lgbtq plus

people rioted at compton's cafe lutheria exact date of the riot remains a mystery. witnesses put the riots in august, three years before bar patrons rose up against police raids at the stonewall inn in new york city, igniting the modern gay rights movement. >> but that's one of the things that i find most fascinating about it. it's like it was obviously a large scale event, but it was almost completely forgotten. it's like, why do you remember stonewall? but you don't remember our compton's? >> historian susan stryker's documentary screen ming queens tells the story of what likely happened that night when a group of trans women and gay men clashed with police in a riot that spilled out into the streets. >> oh, the sugar shakers went through the windows and the glass doors. >> i have no doubt that the riot happened, much as was described in the earliest records of it. >> tensions were rising in this pocket of the tenderloin at the

time, and this film discovered in the abc7 news archives, provides the first video evidence of the community's fight for equality before and after the uprising at compton's cafeteria in san francisco's tenderloin district. the video shows people protesting outside of the restaurant in july. >> it seems like the riot took place in the weeks after that picket. >> the picketers were from a group called vanguard formed in 1965 to protest the treatment of what we now call lgbtq, plus people in the tenderloin. >> it was made up of a lot of people who were shunned by mainstream middle class society. >> historian joseph plaster has written extensive about vanguard, widely considered to be the first gay liberation organizer in the united states and because they were militant, they had an agenda of economic just this and sexual liberation

reason. >> and they were forcefully speaking out for what we would call gay rights because we go to bed with men or take dope or something like that does not mean that we are inhuman and have no feelings. >> hoping to cut down on the rampant vice in the tenderloin, city leaders ordered a crackdown on the illicit activities in the area. one month before the riots are believed to have happened, the coffee shop began going after young people who would hang out late at night at its tables as the entire economy in this district revolved around sex work. >> a lot of the businesses, including compton's cafeteria, benefited financially from the trade in sex. >> i bieve they just want us out because they do not think that we belong. as in there society. they're part of society. they don't. they do not realize that if it were not for the youth in the tenderloin,

that their business would probably collapse. >> why do you say that? >> the tenderloin is made up mainly of youth between the ages of 12 and 24, and these people are the people who give them most of their money. >> the public protest is divided. some in the gay and lesbian community. the older, more organized groups weren't happy with these new young activists public protests. >> is there a split within the gay world about what these people are doing? picketing compton? >> i believe so, yes. >> in what way? >> well, there's some believe in one way. i mean, they like to dress femininely and act timidly with makeup and such as this. and there's the average person. or is it around the gay life? doesn't feel this way. >> are they giving you a bad name? in other words, i believe that they give everybody a bad name. >> tenderloin as well as tenderloin as well. yeah >> sometime in the weeks after those protests outside, a riot erupted inside compton's cafeteria, our tv footage, there was no newspaper coverage of it.

>> and yet we have eyewitnesses to the event who whose testimony all agrees with each other. we have written records written several years after the fact that were saying like, hey, you know, remember when that thing happened at the corner of turk and taylor? >> even the police records from that night have vanished. but vanguard did not. >> market street always had its variety of pushers. but last night, a different type took to the streets. a group called vanguard is trying to clean up the trash. >> in september, vanguard pushed forward publicly, calling for a cleaning of the streets to make the tenderloin safer for the people who call it home. >> how do you hope to accomplish this change, mark? well the first thing is through symbolic demonstrations that will convince the people in san francisco that there's a terrible problem here that will have to be dealt with and dealt with immediately. >> then secondly, we are trying to recruit interest in the community for the development of a coffeehouse in the tenderloin to get these kids off the street and in a situation where other

professional persons can relate to them and provide them some help and assistance for their problems. >> excuse me, ladies, can i talk to you for a second? >> tension was clearly still in the air. >> i don't know. >> they just told me to come on down. spokesman i'm sorry. fund me. you don't want to handle this. >> vanguard disbanded after about two years, but the legacy of their actions caught on film decades ago is now helping to fill in the timeline of lgbtq plus history. >> at the film, footage of the of the picket. and you look at the film footage of people on market street and it seems like they're like two points on a story where the riot would fit right in the middle of it. we just don't have the smoking gun and, you know, documenting version of the riot itself. >> i mean, the videos are incredible. this is the only footage video footage i'm aware of, of the pickets in front of compton's cafeteria. the only video footage that i'm aware of, of the street sweep action. so

in that way, they contribute to the historical record and really dynamic way in san francisco. >> reggie aqui abc7 news and you can learn more about the lgbtq plus community struggle for equality by watching our third episode of our america pride and history available now on demand online at abc seven news.com or through our connected-tv apps. >> the 2023 out 100 list is here celebrates the year's most influential lgbt figures. our local honoree darcy drollinger. darcy is an actor writer, producer, executive director of the nonprofit oasis arts and san francisco's first drag laureate. gma anchors robin roberts and gio benitez and president of abc owned tv stations chad matthews. we're also honored you can watch the 2023 out 100 special on saturday, november 25th, right here on abc seven. >> all right. coming up, we have
