bit ever work so many energized voices he's leading thought this effort and been a champion when we make that happen that big event happen and have all those women and leaders focused on the national debate that will be because of secretary prez his labor department is making this happen it's really at the heart of the agenda and the department is a central part of that thank you. the members of congress congress hoffman and spear and honeyed honey they're all leaders and i want to thank mayor ed lee san francisco and california are an example of how we can make progressive policy and change for working families and have economic growth so thank you for that. this is going to be an amazing afternoon i want to took a few

minutes to talk about really how these issues have mattered in my own life i know we'll hear tremendous stories but it's important to remember those choices with once you don't have to make i'm really here as the president of the center of progress when my children were young i didn't have to make the choice the whole thing being a good working and mom i actually start i had young children when hillary clinton was running for president and i helped to bring the president obama project but i started on hillary clinton campaign and my and child was 18 months i was wondering if i

could be a good staffer it had a lot of demands and be a good mom because when your child is 18 months and you're old it is 4 years i had a boss who recognized that you workers were and staff were parent. and you know, i was able in most evenings to come home and read to my children and actively have dinner with them i didn't you sleep that much but there was one time i really faced this choice i remember it was i was in charge of hills debates and in the second debate the debates were up it was the day that my daughter pre k graduations

they're so cute they have the whiteout fits and my daughter was 3 feet at all it was really, really cutie was worried this was my big day for the bossy went to hillary clinton campaign manager and said i have to go and hillary changed her day she didn't want me to make the choice he was willing to go change her day there were times during the debate she'd move her schedule so i could actually be there to put my kids to bed she knew i had to be a good mom to be a good worker i was so lucky

but the truth of what we're saying you shouldn't have to win the boss loiter to be a good mom and be a good parent i should be able to do both it's better for our economy and our families. so secretary of labor (clapping) secretary of labor talked about those issues and he's right we're only the only developed country in the with world 70 percent of low income workers' compensation when i come home to you, san francisco workers don't have - i hope people will phone call on june 23rd we want to sparks a national conversation to make a public demand for policy change. we want to make sure people understand those are choices

they're not just private choices you have to make on our own we can have paid leave and access to sick days and it will be better for our economy california is paving the way and san francisco is paving the way i hope everyone about focus on june 23rd i hope your voice will be allowed we need folks in the country to recognizing recognize it's not only important to have leader but public and private voices behind leader pelosi as she demands change in washington she need to have bipartisan sport so thank you very much i labored to the day

(clapping (clapping.) >> thank you very much please join me in giving them a big round (clapping). >> so we were all talking about personal stories there's an opportunity for you to share our story use a post it not in our reception area now it's my pleasure to introduce representative honeyed hand he was with the california state essential and the san jose

planning commission and the san jose unified school district he was a member of the peace core and dedicated over thirty years of his life as a principle and teach his years in the peace core and living with his family in the japanese international camps we served community that didn't have a voice we're happy to have him in the house of representatives and please welcome congress mike honda (clapping.) well, thank you very much i would really like to thank the secretary tom prez for holding this for worker families in california where does the energy come from has the agenda that had his head i want to take a

moment to commend him as the labor of secretary and the person in maryland that promoted did protection and justice of our laws to maryland wore the immigrant and all americans he. i think that secretary peru's and my leader the speaker speaker pelosi is putting all their commitments to actions providing greater opportunity for promoting fairness in the workplace i'm a member of the labor subcommittee i understand and appreciate the ambition of this administration and this agency while chronically underfunded by congress there's a number of issues that effect the working families and it's been touched over and

embellished and brought home but their skugsz to have a public dialog to understand the agenda items that we make this a public dialog so what happens then policymakers have to start to understand and pay attention through the voices that you have to make sure that those policies really become laws and become a nation of laws so we can make sure that women have equal pay to make sure that we have families that don't have to worry about choosing between medical leave and their jobs. those are choices as to him prez said and the speaker said those are not choices as a principle i saw this happen on a daily basis looking at their children and

they couldn't food to take them to the doctor this is a public deity we have to have has to recounseled from coast to cooperative from the northern to southern borders to make sure those issues become law. and how is that going to happen it's the agenda that tom prez has and we have to make sure we have the medical leave act into law and make sure they have paid medical leave if california does it so doesn't the rest of the nation as a californian and a member of congress with my colleagues we're going to move forward and make sure that the work that secretary tom prez has put forward becomes law. thank you

(clapping) thank you very much. >> thank you. i'm delighted to introduce congresswoman jackie spear representing 14 district she was named one of the fearless woman in the world (clapping) she's welcome known for her excelling speeches on the house floor for veterans and especially those who comprehensions sexual assault and she's championed for consumers and he representative spear has over 28 years of public service ass and is the first california lecture to give birth while no office give it up for her

(clapping.) i love it when people introduce me by saying i was the first elector to give birth awhile 90 in office i was also the oldest. thank you to secretary prez for being commented to listen to the stories to our great leader nancy pelosi this is why women will succeed in this country because she's he helm and our drama free mayor ed lee i like to refer to him he gets the job done and we're fortunate to have him and others. i'm very, very going to be brief we're not going to leave in a

madman episode. that happens 50 years ago and it's time for this country it recognize that 40 percent of the breadwinners in this country are women and when 40 percent of the breadwinners in this country have women it is time for us to change the policies that are preventing us from working well together as families and workers (clapping) but i want to tell you one thing that's deeply disturbing to me my hope the secretary and his staff will recognize what's happening here in the san francisco bay area can happen in other areas where there's success and economics are red hot i'm speaking especially about the declining middle-class

in the bay area it's at a crisis it's dropped by 10 percent in the last 4 years in san francisco. it is now 33 percent of san francisco is the middle-class the rich have gotten richer and the poor poorer and the marked shrunk. in san mateo county that's $16,000 plus a year. but the living wage calculator developed by an mit found a simple adult with one child should be making $26.03 in order to make a basic living in the bay area. so 1010 is just the beginning of what we have to do to transform

the way we look at working families in this country and the middle-class we need to help so thank you for your attention (clapping) >> thank you congresswoman spear. i'm very pleased to introduce congressman hoffman he's dedicated his career to preventing the district and now as a member of congress he's a champion of the state park system before interpark serve he worked as a senior attorney for the national defense council and as a special interest with many

wins in trial because welcomes congressman hoffman (clapping.) well, thanks everybody just about everything i wanted to say was said by the previous speeches i'm audio a enthusiastic me took to the remarks you've heard from nancy pelosi and from others and, of course, labor secretary tom prez. i will add a little bit about my congressional district my colleagues represent wonderful districts i'm partial to mine not because we have the oldest trees and a wine country that's

amazing we have women that have changed the course of history one is here rosy and two of them were welders in the manor shipyard in sal let's and one phyllis was a welder across the bay in richmond by i wonder since they've been talked about here and if we could ask them to stand specifically (clapping) thank you phyllis and mary and restraining order desz we're

very proud of you. you know, mine grandfather was a rosy at martin bomber plant in nebraska a generation later i saw another generation of women stepping up to make a difference and my own mother what a hardworking mother of 3 boys and we have powerful stories but those are personal ones for me how women have contributed to the country and the families that depend on their hard work but as powerful as those shgsdz we have a long way to go when we hear stories of women making $0.77 a dollar to the male counterparts it is a step backwards when the ladies were making equal pay in the shipyard

we know that 2/3rd's of minimum wage workers are women and the poverty rated at the 14 percent plus for women is the highest in two decades. so as the rosy the resistor take care stepped up to the plate and my own mother i think it's cumbersome upon all of us to keep working and i'm glad you brought it to our region that many of you will be taking it to washington next month i want to express my support as a member of congress for giving america a pay increasing that the minimum wage and the family leave and i want to add with an extra piece in the introduction that was mentioned i was a public interest attorney for me at least and other women succeeding

rick nixon passed a law called title 9 the amendments of 1972 (clapping) and i had a chance in a prior life to represent women and i see all around me where the confidence and the team and the discipline that are honed through the equal opportunity through theefksz athletics is helping to build women leaders thank you for caring the message to washington when women succeed america skeekdz >> hi. i am cory with san

francisco and we're doing stay safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san

francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former building official knows better than anybody the code says if

an earthquake happens it won't kill you but doesn't necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house we're in now and this shows what it's like to be in a place safe enough to stay. it's not going to be perfect. there maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. what's it going to take to get the housing stock up to this standard? we spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages or windows and during the

earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those are -- >> very vulnerable buildings. >> very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. >> and time to. >> >> retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. >> what do they need? do they need information? do they need incentives? mandates? >> that's a good question. i think it starts with information. people think that new buildings are earthquake proof and don't understand the performance the building will have so we want a transparent of letting people know is my building going to be safe in it after an earthquake? is my building so dangers i should be afraid of being injured? so

developing a ranking system for buildings would be very important and i think for some of the larger apartment buildings that are soft story we need a mandatory program to fix the buildings, not over night and not without financial help or incentive, but a phased program over time that is reasonable so we can fix those buildings, and for the smaller soft story buildings and especially in san francisco and the houses over garages we need information and incentives and coaxing the people along and each of the owners want their house to be safe enough. >> we want the system and not just mandate everybody. >> that's right. >> i hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. as you're fixing your knowledge you're adding to the city wide resiliency.

>> >> what does that mean? >> that's a great question. what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special. we keep everybody here and that

allow us to recover our economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and thank you very much for joining ♪ >> welcome to hamilton recreation and aquatics center. it is the only facility that has an integrated swimming pool and recreation center combined. we have to pools, the city's water slide, for little kids and those of you that are more daring and want to try the rockslide, we have a drop slide.
