tenderloin, we urban outfit. here, this gives us an opportunity to collaborate with other agencies and we become familiar with how other agencies operate and allow us to be more flexible and get better at what we depo in the line of work in this task. >> sometimes you go down and it's hard to get up. so we see ourselves as providing an opportunity for the unhoused to get up. and so i really believe that when they come here and they've said it, this right here is absolutely needed. you can't ask for nothing better. >> the tenderloin is the stuff that ain't on the list of remedies, liked the spiritual connection to recovery and why would i? why would i recover? what have i got to live for? things like that. and sharing the stories. like i was homeless and just the team. and some people need that extra connection on why they can change their life or how they could. >> we have a lot of guests that will come in and say i would

10:42 pm
i'm san francisco mayor london breed and i'm really -- [applause] ex -- excited to be here today to swear in the future of san francisco. [cheers and applause] i want to start by thanking and acknowledging the board of supervisors joining us today. thank you for the president of the board of supervisor, are walton and safai who represents district 11 and melgar who represents district 7. thank you so much for joining us here today. [applause] and let me tell you, all of the supervisors and i, when we were kids, we probably, probably wouldn't have thought that we would be leaders of the city. [laughter] because we weren't as responsible as the young people that we see here today. we were having a good time, yes. [laughter] we were going to school because we had to, yes.
10:43 pm
[laughter] but to take a step like this and apply to be a part of the youth commission is significant. it means that you care about understanding what it means to be involved civically. what it means to give back to your city, to your community, how you understand policy, how you advise people like the mayor and the board of supervisors on things that matter to all of you. it is significant because on top of the work that you're doing in school, your extra sir rick lar activities or sports or anything else and going out and hanging out with your friends and having a good time, you're also investing the time necessary in order to really make a difference in the city, but also make a difference in your future and so it really is great to be here with all of you to swear you in today for the first time in a few years in
10:44 pm
person because we've had to do this event online for the past couple of years because of the pandemic and let me just also acknowledge that i know it hasn't been easy for you throughout this pandemic. i can't even imagine if i were in high school during a global pandemic and not able to hang out with friends or to show up to school everyday and to have that sort of environment and you did it online and you still are engaged in wanting to do something for your community. i want you to take a lot of pride in this role and i also want you to commit to this role to show up and to not be afraid to provide your input. i don't care how other people feel about what you say. if there's something on your mind and there's something on your heart and you believe in it, be fearless in your pursuit for what you believe is important to change policy or to change things in san francisco. others may not always agree but
10:45 pm
we can also be respectfully disagreeable, make sure diplomacy is a part of the conversation, make sure respect is a part of the conversation because we are really all in this together as we learn from the pandemic and having diverse opinions, having diverse conversations. it's the hallmark of our democracy. it means that we are potentially progressing because there are things that you know that someone else may not know and your ability to share your experiences can make all the difference in changing that person's heart or mind on an important policy decision. you know, we have a lot of disagreements here at city hall. i'm sure you hear about them but we still know how important it is to work together because at the end of the day, despite our disagreements, there are so many other things, more things we
10:46 pm
agree on than things that we disagree on. it means that we keep working hard in trying to get to that point where we can make great things happen for the city and county of san francisco. i'm proud of the work we do and just a quick example, free muni for youth, the people who served on the youth commission before all of you and some of you may have participated on the youth commission, it happened because advocacy for young people. when i was a kid, i didn't always have money for bus and sometimes we would get on the bus and the bus driver wouldn't tell us to leave because they knew we were trying to get to school. there are people who may be able to afford that pass fast or clipper card that you all now use but there are others who can't. and your role and your advocacy on the youth commission or the people before you brought that to the attention of policy leaders like myself at the time when i served on the san francisco board of supervisors
10:47 pm
and a number of other people and we worked together to come up with the resources to make muni free for young people in san francisco. that is because of the advocacy of this body. it is a powerful body. one that i know each and every one of you will play a significant role in making such a difference in doing great things for san francisco. so i'm really excited, proud and honored to swear you in. so at this time, can we please stand up. to all of folks that we're swearing in. i see somebody's daddy standing up back there. [laughter] all right. please raise your right hand or how about this. how about you come this way, face the crowd and i'm going to turn around because i know all your parents want to get
10:48 pm
pictures. [laughter] >> all of you guys face one direction or in the middle. yeah, in the middle. there we go. look at all these young people. yes! i love it. all right. are we ready? i don't believe you. are we ready? >> audience, yes. >> okay. please raise your right hand and repeat after me, i, state your name. do solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states. >> [repeating] >> and the constitution of the state of california. >> [repeating]. >> against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that i bear true
10:49 pm
faith and allegiance to the same, that i take this obligation freely without any mental reservation. >> [repeating] >> or purpose of evasion and that i will well and faithfully discharge the duties. >> [repeating] >> upon which i'm about to enter and during such time as i serve as youth commissioner for the city and county of san francisco. >> [repeating] >> congratulations! [cheers and applause] >> all right. we're going to take a picture here. we'll get a
10:50 pm
few pictures in just a moment because we have two special guests that's going to be saying a few words as well. oh, okay. all right. there will be plenty of time for more pictures but we want to have a few special guests say a few words and then that will complete our program. i want to also just express my appreciation to all the parents and the guardians and the grandmas and the grandpas and all of the people who are here today to support their children
10:51 pm
and to support this amazing community because it does take a village and your support means a lot being here today. so, with that, i'm going to ask all of our young new commissioners to have a seat and i'm going to ask the president of the board of supervisors, shamann walton to come up and say a few words. [applause] >> thank you, madam mayor, good afternoon. >> [audience, good afternoon] >> welcome to the high lath of my day. i was talking with supervisor melgar and she was talking about how exciting this is and every time we see our young people step up and take leadership positions, that's a joy for us. you may or may not know, most of our movements start with young people. youth is usually at the center of the big movements that happen in this country and in this city and across the world so being
10:52 pm
able to serve as a youth commissioner here in san francisco is a big deal. i want you to remember your oath and the positions that you -- you hold because this is a big deal and taken serious and the policies that you push for, when you knock on my door, you knock on supervisor safai's door and knock on the mayor's door and the policies you push to get implemented in san francisco are lasting policies to you're a part of decision-making for city and county of san francisco and you should be proud of that and we're proud of that and i want to say congratulations, i look forward to working with all of you. you can reach out to our offices, we will respond and set up a time to hear from all of the youth on the youth commission to see the things you're pushing and working on, so we can be supportive. thank you and congratulations. [cheers and applause] >> thank you, president walton. i want to also ask a young
10:53 pm
person who actually served on this body to come forward. she served on the youth commission and is now a freshman at stanford university. ladies and gentlemen, welcome adrianna zang. [applause] >> thank you so much, mayor breed for the introduction and for supervisor or president walton for speaking. seriously, elected official support means so much and of course, thank you supervisor safai for being here. hello to all of the new commissioners, to parents, supporters, family, friends, first off, congratulations on these new commissioners. [applause] it is beyond exciting. my name is adrianazang and i was the former chair of the san francisco youth commission and i was the district seven appointee by supervisor melgar. it has
10:54 pm
been an absolute joy serving on the san francisco youth commission. for the past two years, i was the district 7 representative and to be honest, i still remember that very exact moment i received the e-mail in which then president norman yee appointed me and i screamed, i cried, i yelled to my parents that i got on the commission and to all of the supporters here, you might think i'm crazy, you're probably right but i know all of these commissioners here today can resonate with that sentiment. truly bias aside, this commission is the best youth commission in the world. i mean, it's a huge statement and i will back it up, don't worry. um, for the past five years alone, i can name so many achievements that have pushed san francisco towards a more just and equitable future. for
10:55 pm
example, mayor breed mentioned pre-muni for youth and the next thing is the 2020 ballot that lost by one percent and maybe we'll try again in the near future. we closed down juvenile hall. we created a participatory town hall that had over one hundred youth voices. i mean, how many commissions in the world can say they've included youth in which they are truly seen as equitable partners? and in san francisco, we have. and so that is because of your leadership and that is why i want to share, i promise to make it brief, a few of the lessons i have learn here for the past two years. to commissioners, staff and adult allies are here to support but do not be afraid to push for your belief. in this nation, we've seen the black lives movement. we've seen the moment for social justice and climate justice and gun control, all led by youth and this is not
10:56 pm
because of some crazy conspiracy or crazy thing that youth have ideas, it's because you all deserve to be here. and you do have these ideas and i urge you to push for them. the second thing is ask questions. you are appointed for a reason and you deserve to be here, yes. but you are not here only because of what you know but also because of the potential for you to grow and learn and finally, take advantage of every single opportunity. i remember when i was in the vote 16 campaign, i was quite literately thrown into cameras and action and walk and protests, that was so foreign to me and i know it's foreign to many of you but it has been the most exciting and most growing period of my life. and so finally, to adults and the supporters and elected officials, you all know how amazing these youth are and you treat us and you should treat us as genuine decision-making
10:57 pm
partners. i say this a lot and many of you have heard it but it's true. there is absolutely no downside to hearing from young people unless you're afraid of what we have to say, so thank you and congratulations. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. very impressive adrianna and we're happy you're doing well in school and those public speaking skills will probably come in handy in the future. [laughter] so, with that, i want to again say thank you all so much for being here today. really proud of each and every one of you, make sure again, that you speak up, you speak out, that you support one another. that you keep it positive and diplomatic, that you set an example for even the younger generation that's coming up behind you because they are going to be watching you and we're going to be watching you but importantly, we're going to work with you on policy decisions that will hopefully make a real difference in san francisco, so
10:59 pm
sustainability mission, even though the bikes are very minimal energy use. it still matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. so having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. we heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. it was super easy to sign up. our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy.

11:17 pm
there was no place where people of color could exhibit their art work. and there was a need to create a cultural space where latino artist could promote and show their work. so this is what came out of that effort. we have a historical landmark theater, a historic gallery and we have the historic mission graphica, a print shop where much of our history has been documented through art. through the center, we have been able to develop and promote emerging artist that have become amazing established artist. so we have established traditional programming that the community can count on year after year such as the day of the dead, carnival and the solo mujeres show.
11:18 pm
during this 45th anniversary, we're also faced with challenge, the city has requested that we have a temporary relocation due to seismic retrofit, that is going to be close to a million dollars. and that's a big challenge for us. >> the 45th is important not just because of the number of years but it reflects the continuity of the center. and it reflects the fact that we continue to exist and thrive and provide our programming to the community. the challenge going forward, is not only the relocation but it is the diversification of funding so that the center is no longer dependent on single sources of revenue. so going forward one of our efforts and the board particularly is going to concentrate on seek ising alternative funding for the center, so that we don't end up
11:19 pm
only having one exclusive source, which would be the art commission. >> what we are doing between now and june is having a series of event to raise money, right now, we are asking for the public to support us in our long term sustainability. we need to raise money to continue our legacy for another 50 years or more and in order for us to be here for our community and to continue and vessel and promote latino art, we need everyone's support. we're going to have amazing shows by established artist. we are privileged in exhibiting the pa lo buy in collection and that's a huge gift for a community. >> [speaking spanish]
11:20 pm
[speaking spanish] >> we have quality art pieces and quality programming. and we're going to have a few fundraisers under the end of the year and we're asking for the public's support to come out and donate generously and support us in any way you can. we need everyone's help because this is the community's culture
11:21 pm
center, this is our historical legacy. this is our pride. this is, this is our sole. --soul and we need your help. >> you're watching san francisco rising with chris manners. today's special guest is katy tang.

understand if english is not your first language, it can be difficult, so we want to be as helpful as possible. >> excellent. i know that s.f. shines was created to help with restoring and improvement. can you tell us more about that? >> yes. it's run out of a sister development and it's much needed in the small business community. if you are trying to improve your storefront, whether it's outside, perhaps you want to make some interior improvements, a lot of times, that involves a lot of cost and resources to be able to do so. for example, you may need to hire an architect to submit drawings so you can get your work done. currently, s.f. shines is offer a pairing of business sign
11:25 pm
services. you can be paired up with an architect to get your drawings done to help you start to do the actual work. we hope that people will stay tuned, and you can find out more information on our website. that's sfgov.org/osb. >> let's talk about the shared spaces program. it's been a huge success, and outdoor dining spaces are very popular. >> the shared spaces program, especially during the pandemic, really helped spaces survive. to have an outdoor space where people could safely gather was critical, and the office of
11:26 pm
small business has been working with these shared spaces during the pandemic. some may or may not have been up to the city's code regulations, so department of public works and other departments have been trying to figure out what violations are and help businesses come into compliance. the planning department and the city have decided that they'll give businesses until 2023 to come into compliance. also in the meantime, for businesses that want to start new shared spaces, new parklets, that is still an on going program, a new program, so people can always submit their applications for shared spaces regardless whether they started one during the pandemic or not. >> do you anticipate there
11:27 pm
being other shared spaces programs in the future and how do small businesses go about finding out about them? >> small businesses can find out about it by visiting our website, sfgov/osb or you can call 415-554-6134, and we can connect you with the planning department and other agencies that would be connected with the shared spaces programs. >> over the pandemic, businesses have been victimized by vandals and other crimes. how can you help them? >> the city offers a program called the vandalism relief fund, and this would allow businesses suffering from graffiti or broken windows to
11:28 pm
apply with the city through our neighborhood services division, and you could get up to 1,000 or 2,000 if you submit certain documentation, such as a photograph of the damage or a copy of the receipt or document showing the amount you paid for to correct the incident. we are so excited that the city now has a centralized permit center, where people can come and get their business done, hopefully, in the same day where there are several different agencies, ranging from department of building inspection, planning department, public health, fire department, all here to help people, whether you're building a new business or even new construction, to be able to, again, fit all of your appointments in one day and get things done quickly. so starting in may, our office
