7:33 am
the multinational korpgs that dictated what shows up in the media and that's what infrastructure san francisco says we must end our allegiance we must recommit ourselves to fight for all san franciscans the few things we can specifically do one start to learn the language of the real identity of the person being killed or hurt or fighting for the transgender community two create a space for the transgender to show up to staff that are led by the community and third to not build a new jail i mean we have more jail cells for people of the community - >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please.

7:37 am
back to the bay area recently that's been a policy to prevent the transgenders but clearly more to do if our community continues to be murdered and faces violence i think that san francisco can be a real model joining with community members to find ways to make the laws we have won here to be a reality members of the communities are no longer being killed we're calling for the city to provide resources and services to transgender non-performing community and part of that is the calling on the city to not create nor jails but put those resources towards supporting the trans and ending the violence against our people. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker,
