of the programs that got cut have effected the youth. students that are attending scored significantly he lower and the district - there are tons of status that talk about 94115 that weren't considered. >> i'd like to let the folks know that they've set up a tv and get a good seat outside. next is the youth director nor districts 5 christopher winning

the commissioner level it's time for us for black folks to go into the room and speak. our folks are a little bit behind. you can put 19 of us in a room and we don't start talking that's serious. there should be a economy that has to do with the people's voice. this is far and deeper than the homeless problem. i put all my brothers where i used to live in good housing sometimes in shelters, you know, there's no crime in that but the problem is you're not listening to us right now the black people

in san francisco are in the state of emergency because we have to good black leadership. that's not to say the people - the sad thing is you've got so many of us who get into office and want to be a consultant. we need to talk about what's going on the ground you have to listen to the people's voice. that's important (clapping) >> thank you. i want to remind everyone that even if our card is not called your cards are going to make it to the supervisors and the mayors is taking notes. and the people that we're calling when you filled in our
