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

today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a

fire that mostly devastated the city. how do we avoid that kind of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar

with where the gas meter is. >> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in

apartment buildings. if gas appliance is not burning properly this will alert you before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. >> this is a battery powered? >> this is a battery powered and it has a 10 year battery life. a lot of times you may have one or the other. if you put in just a carbon monoxide detector, it's important to have one of these too. every house should have a fire extinguisher, yes. >> one thing people expect to do when the power goes out after an earthquake about using candles. what would you recommend? >> if you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. this kind of a candle,

you wouldn't want it in an area where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesn't rollover. you definitely want to have this in a non-combustible surface. >> now, here we have our stove. after a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home, how are you going to cook? >> well, i wouldn't recommend cooking inside of the house. you have to go outside and use a portable stove or something else. >> so it wouldn't be safe to

use your fireplace to cook? >> not at first. you should check it by a professional first. >> outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you stay away from buildings and doors and windows. >> yes. that will be fine. >> here we have some alternative cooking areas. >> you can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. >> thank you for joining us. and thanks for this terrific space that you have in this exhibition space and thanks for helping san francisco stay safe. (clapping.) >> let's see can everybody hear
