8:30 am
>> john. can you commit to that? this is a very good of example of where we can stop the infection. right? we know it's there. so let's stop it before it becomes a disease. can you commit, you have worked with people. this is something that has been raised. >> i am committed to continuing the conversations >> you had another question. >> we would love to hear commitment from other folks. just to put it out there. we are talks about immigrants. a lot of people we are working with are undocumented. people do not trust the police. especially our young folks.
8:31 am
we had a person beat up by the police. we are hoping in the future. the police department can think of how the immigration rates. it's not proimmigrant. especially undocumented youth are afraid for their safety and aren't coming forward. >> i would like to address some of the issues on our undocumented youth in san francisco. it's important that we protect all people regardless of their immigration status. the police and rates that have happend and been on going. the mayor has been in discussions minimizing that in san francisco. we are not notified. the police department has no information about the raids.
8:32 am
they are not working with local police. we are trying to work with the aftermath to provide services to families who are impacted by the raids. we provide service for the undocumented youth. >> can i just piggyback on that. just in terms of leveraging resources. the city has maya has already pointed out funds a lot of programs. i would say try to find out who's being funded ask them to
8:33 am
come over. try to figure out where those dollars for going. >>[inaudible]. >> right. let's connect afterwards. i maybe able to give you some follow up resources. >> the city is working between the various agencys to identify where there's individuals are. >> good morning. i am qwanza. i am a community member and resident of san francisco. we talk about community response networks. we talk about all of the people working together.
8:34 am
i think about in the good book about our humbling ourselves. so when i think about that, i am also a man of god. i have to ask this about where is the faith communities in these talks? in these discussions. are there any examples of the faith communities? >> i want to keep it real. i can say personally that i have out reached to all faith based organizations. they are the hardest to engage. a lot of times for certain communities when you mention you are going to bring them in. they get upset. they show up where the cameras are there and they take over or
8:35 am
where the mayor's office is there and they can push an agenda. i say that as an active member in the church and that doesn't give me leverage. >> sure. i agree basically is what cheryl said. it's difficult to get them to come to the table. unlike oakland. oco. they are about to do an action about stopping the violence. however, there are wonderful people in san francisco who are working hard to this issue. we have an adult
8:36 am
representation, reverend. i agree with cheryl. any ideas anyone here has about how we can better engage the faith community. we would be all ears on that >> the think the best way to get them on at the funerals. another deal is, we have to consider like, if you are not out there you are going to meet all the people. you are not going to touch bases with a lot of those pasteurs. they're are trying to do the right thing. keeping that connection when you go to the funeral, pull them aside. >> they have a strong presence
8:37 am
in the juvenile presence. we are very appreciative of their support and work with the juvenile probation community. >> in the sierra in the bay view. there's a minister on staff that can collaborates and tries to leverage other ministers. there's other of spiritual groups. as a form of deescalating is holding bringing in indigenous practices as well. it's a larger scale spirituality.
8:38 am
>> next question. >> i just have a question on what kwanza said. i am also spiritual. we are talking about politics and money, violence, guns. nobody is talking about prayer or god. that's all i want to say. everybody has all these positions but nobody is talking about prayer. >> we all have different ways we pray. >> i wanted to say something about church. i just recently went to a which you were called new providence.
8:39 am
the pastor stole money from the church. because faith base side a waste. >> do we have time for one more question? >> this question is specifically first young lady. once there's an act of violence. what do you think the resources are? if they are bad? how can they be improved? i think that's very important. kids need to have somebody to respond to them >> the resources in the school? >> yes. in your schools. >> well for violence, i mean there's not. we have security and stuff like that. there's no real resources in the school. the teachers don't do nothing
8:40 am
about it. that's basically it. or they send us straight to juvenile. >> one more. >> she waited a long time. so it's okay. >> my question, that i was one of the providers that went to the probation call in and i think it was an excellent program. i took a music program up there and 36 of your people there signed and i like to hope you will respond to those people that called in. >> great. >> okay. and the other question, is on the gang injunctions.
8:41 am
i would like to know, when is the last time you have been to oak dale yourself and when is it possible for a person to get off a gang injunction. people are separate from their families and that causes them to live in another turf and that in itself causes death itself. >> i go to oak dale on some type of patrol. that is one of our hot spots. as far as getting off the gang injunction. the injunction was put in place with with the city's attorney office. the opt out policy is 1 day opt
8:42 am
out. they can opt off, you have to file with the city attorney's office. and we would reverse this. but it has to be done through the city attorney's office. the question could be best directed to them. >> we would love to ask. have you this look on your face. this is last one, i am going to be in big trouble. this woman and that's it. >> i am a therapist, it was 2 weeks ago, i got a first grader transferred to cleveland. the one thing i wanted to mention here is the parents. the cbo s can do something and the police. i worked so hard with that
8:43 am
parent and inspectors. not a single person has mentioned parent. how can we make them accountable. >> i just needed to put that the word parent out there. we need to make more accountability. most of the kids are reacting. my kid, has severe ptsd. unless we can heal the wounds. it's not just on the streets of sunnydale. >> yes. the family, what makes up a
8:44 am
family, parents children. ultimately, we have to also deal with our families who have their children who are placed with these acronyms over their head that follows them all through their lives. when working with the child. not only are we working with the families and their friends and the places they go before they get home. so the ultimate thing is building that family unit. i was going to run to that. life goes on. we all have a duty not just to the child. but to the family. because the child comes from a family and most the children that we're working with. the families are broken. the homes are broken.
8:45 am
so they lived through this years and years. the parents have lived through broken families. >> i do want to say, we have to start with the kids. the kids are actually bring the parents. when the programs are working, then when you put on an event, the kid says, you have to go to this. if you don't come, i can't participate. it's a lot of the families that we're working with, the parents sometimes are at the same loss that the school and community it. i think it's empowering the
8:46 am
young people and then they are parenting their parents. we have to deal with that reality. some of these kids are on their own. and going to the parent didn't necessarily make a difference. if we can get the kids to buy in. they can be motivated their own life. >> well, me, i just started to speaking to my dad. i haven't spoke to my mom in a month. she used to abuse me. i don't have parents. >> sounds like a topic for next
8:47 am
year summits. for now, i would like to thank you. thank you. >> thank you. we're actually, this has been an action-packed conference and we're asking that our panelists remain here. we have a power point of all the action items that have been put forth this morning and this afternoon. this is our call to action. >> so one of the recommendations was to have direct community canvases to find out what programs they
8:48 am
want. >> okay. and we have to start antiviolence and awareness to elementary kids. >> needs programming of transportation and better coordination of school times and muni. >> have programs to nurture people's emotional development. >> need more coordination between cbo and other agencies for successful outcomes. >> currently, funding is insufficient of full implementation. >> have a speaking circuit much juvenile advocates to people at
8:49 am
every school. >> ask if usd could come to library to speak about resources >> but services in neutral areas so they can be used by a variety of people >> expand collynn programs. >> expand the crn program including into the tenderloin. be able to have data to show success of the program >> need more gun buy back programs >> need to have mentor ships and use those skills like science, technology, media and thearts. and all of these materials as well as these recommendations will be on our website.
