heart and makes them feel powerful with simple actions to take every day. ♪ ♪ >> i was born and raised in the desert of palm springs, california. my dad was the rabbi in the community there. what i got from watching my father on stage talking to the community was learning how to be in the public. and learning how to do public speaking and i remember the first time i got up to give my first school assembly, i felt my dad over my shoulder saying pause for drama, deliver your words. when i was a kid, i wanted to be a teacher. and then when i got into high

school, i decided i wanted to get into advertising and do graphic art and taglines and stuff like that. by the time i was in college, i decided i wanted to be a decorator. but as i did more work, i realized working my way up meant a lot of physical labor. i only had so much energy to work with for the rest of my life and i could use that energy towards making a lot of money, helping someone else make a lot of money or doing something meaningful. i found the nonprofit working to save the rainforest was looking for volunteers. i went, volunteered and my life changed. suddenly everything i was doing had meaning. stuffing envelopes had meaning, faxing out requests had meaning. i eventually moved up to san francisco to work out of the office here, given a lot of assembly through los angeles county and then came up here and

doing assemblies to kids about rainforest. one of my jobs was to teach about recycle, teaching students to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost, i'm teaching them they have the power, and that motivates them. it was satisfying for me to work with for the department of environment to create a message that gets to the heart of the issue. the san francisco department of environment is the only agency that has a full time educational team, we go into the schools to help teach children how to protect nature and the environment. we realized we needed animal mascot to spark excitement with the students. the city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolism of the phoenix, about transformation and the message

that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. we have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether it's lesson plans or student fact sheets, teachers can use them and we've had great feedback. we have helped public and private schools in san francisco increase their waste use and students are working hard to sort waste at the end of the lunch and understand the power of reusing, reducing, recycling and composting. >> great job. >> i've been with the department for 15 years and an environmental educator for more than 23 years and i'm grateful for the work that i get to do,

especially on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. i try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. try to do that as well in my work and with my words to be an uplifting force for myself and others. think of entering the job force as a treasure hunt. you can only go to your next clue and more will be revealed. follow your instincts, listen to your gut, follow your heart, do what makes you happy and pragmatic and see where it takes you and get to the next place. trust if you want to do good in i want to thank mayor london

breed for insisting on a transit environment. she is a huge champion of the permanent project in 2021. we didn't want to have those passengers miss the community to get out of cars and come by ferry. from alameda and oakland passengers can enjoy a game and special event at the warriors an arena and the beautiful bay. i would like to thank key partners. we do this critically quickly. the golden gate ferry paid for the tow and installation and port crew did all of the improvements you see today. it was a collaboration from three agencies that was very, very quick to get it done and

effective. thank you so much to golden gate and to the warriors for their help and support. i would like to thank my commissioners who are here today. commission president kimberly brandon and gail gilman. thank you for being here. we have other vips. thank you for making this happen. thank you all for being here and celebrating with us the good transportation opportunity that the ferry provides. thank you so much. [applause.] >> thank you, elaine. i know you guys expect to hear a sound because we have a microphone, but in fact this is to help with the new folks so they can get what we say right. i will be a little loud. first of all, i want to thank

assembly member david chou had is advocate for transportation to make it possible for these efforts to take place. i just want to thank everyone who is here and all those who played a role to make sure on day one of the opening of the chase center we didn't hear hardly any complaints. the fact is, you know, it had to do with so many amazing folks from the m.t.a. to the port to the warriors, to so many folks getting the word out to coordinate these efforts in a way that would help make getting here easier on public transit, whether it is by ferry, muni or what have you, and just the

ability to use your ticket as fare for the muni buses is outstanding. i am looking at jack over there. it is wonderful there. great thing to consider for the giants. it worked so much more efficiently. we are blessed to have two amazing teams that draw people from all over the bay area, the san francisco giants and golden state warriors. using water as a mode of transportation is not only amazing but a great ride. it is so relaxing. i want to thank my family in the golden gate bridge board. they have really been great partners with san francisco and with water transit. we are happy to have you all here today to join us. bay area council. thank you, jim wonder man, the port and warriors and really

doing this kind of thing takes a lot of people to make it happen. this is just the temporary location. fingers crossed for the permanent location. we are hoping to get that thing open sooner rather than later. when that happens it is going to be a game changer boaster is going to be right there. who wouldn't want to basically hospital on the ferry to get to a warriors game or go to a concert. the way to time it will be absolutely outstanding. this is the future of san francisco, making it possible to get around easily and to make sure that we are doing good-bye the environment and reducing congestion and making it a great experience. we want people to enjoy themselves when they are trying to get in and out of san francisco anywhere and this is a

great addition to our city. at this time i wanted to give assembly member chou a chance to say a few words. >> thank you for your leade leap to move this forward. shouldn't you all be at work right now? we just took the one major form of public transit in the bay area that does not feel like publickic transit. this is how the transportation experience should be. i am obsessed with water transit. the chronicle says i am smitten. it goes back to five years ago when they called to say have you thought about water transit? about a week later, i ran into this man and he said have you ever thought about water

transit? i then ran into larry from the giants and he said have you thought about water transit. then jim said i need to meet with you to talk about water transit. when i started studying the fact millions of trips were taken every year across the bay on water transit. today you go to sydney, hong kong, new york city, it is all about water transit. this is why working with jim wonder man and labor and my good friend jeff we proposed with collegenal major 3 the doubling of the water transportation system. 3 $00 million for transit.

this stop is really one of the flagship stops for our 21st century bay area water transportation system. this is clean and green. let me close by emphasizing this is the most romantic way to travel. in new york city people go on dates on the ferry system. i don't know about you guys but muni dates are not the way to go. water transit is the way to go. i look forward to seeing you guys on the next ride. [applause.] >> the guy that is going to bring us a world championship -- the guy that is going to make it happen, rick welch. >> thank you, mayor. i just want to run over and hug everybody here. thithis is an an unbelievable

accomplishment. we were thrilled with the mayor said, look, we can make a permanent ferry dock happen at 16th street in 2021. elaine at the port said why do we wait until that happens? a success story is seeing an opportunity and making it happen like this in san francisco. i hope it is recognized. the effort that went into making this happen for the first warrior's preseason game on saturday to the people in the east bay and marin, it is a game changer. david has been there from day one. i am equally smitten with water transportation. to see it come to life in mission bay what this means for every business and resident here is outstanding. thank you, thank you, thank you

for everything you did to make this a reality. thank you. (applause). >> i would like to now introduce the chair of the board, ms. jody breckenridge. >> good morning, it is an exciting day. any day you can be out on the water the on a ferry is a good day. i want to thank you for your support. we love people who are passionate about water transportation but also the active support you offered to us, both of you. i want to thank the board. jim wonder man and jeff with us today. in particular, i want be to thank everyone here involved in this. it is those who spoke before me said this came together quick and in short order. it was worked on yesterday to

finish it up. those working on it are problem solvers and doers. we are ready for the opening of the preseason game. there is a practical application for this. this is part of the emergency response portfolio we have, equipment we have. this is the first time we have had to exercise putting it up to see what that took. we have lessons learned that we will take back to put into both the federal and state plans for the bay to enshould be that should we need this equipment in an emergency we are ready to go and leaning forward so it is a great day and we appreciate everyone being here with us today. thank you. >> that is it. do a nice story because we had a good ride. [applause.]

>> i went through a lot of struggles in my life, and i am blessed to be part of this. i am familiar with what people are going through to relate and empathy and compassion to their struggle so they can see i came out of the struggle, it gives them hope to come up and do something positive. ♪ ♪ i am a community ambassador.

we work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. >> what i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. they ask you questions, ask you directions, they might have a question about what services are available. checking in, you guys. >> wellness check. we walk by to see any individual, you know may be sitting on the sidewalk, we make sure they are okay, alive.

you never know. somebody might walk by and they are laying there for hours. you never know if they are alive. we let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they don't want to call the police on, they don't have to call the police. they can call us. we can direct them to the services they might need. >> we do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. there are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the ground. it is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. when we see them we take a picture dispatch to 311. they give us a tracking number and they come later on to pick it up. we take pride. when we come back later in the

day and we see the loose trash or debris is picked up it makes you feel good about what you are doing. >> it makes you feel did about escorting kids and having them feel safe walking to the play area and back. the stuff we do as ambassadors makes us feel proud to help keep the city clean, helping the residents. >> you can see the community ambassadors. i used to be on the streets. i didn't think i could become a community ambassador. it was too far out there for me to grab, you know. doing this job makes me feel good. because i came from where a lot of them are, homeless and on the street, i feel like i can give them hope because i was once

there. i am not afraid to tell them i used to be here. i used to be like this, you know. i have compassion for people that are on the streets like the homeless and people that are caught up with their addiction because now, i feel like i can give them hope. it reminds you every day of where i used to be and where i am at now. >> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with.

>> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos. so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy her achbl heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy.

working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. >> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm going to try everything. >> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky

road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. >> we try to cook food that you don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful

opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally. >> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in

are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most

exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers.

when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve. >> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out

there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones.

we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy,
