>> everybody who wants to be a part and know they are part, come stand with me. we didn't do this alone. come on partners. so, peace and blessings everybody. happy everything. welcome everybody here. i want to say that this is our actual 10 year gun buyback where we got thousands and thousands of guns off the street. approximately 5,000. probably a thousand are assault rifles and all these guns that we have, a lot of questions. what do you do with there guns that we have? well, i'm going to show what we do with the guns we have. we destroy them. with the help of our

community partners, sfpd, sdip, city officials, the mayor, the senator, we have mothers against moms demand action. we have the brady campaign. we have us for us. we have west bay. united player. the private sector. we have the community. this makes a gun buyback so successful is we do it in collaboration with everybody. we do with with the reentry population. the outreach done for the gun buyback is mothers who lost kids against gun violence and we have 20 guys reentry. restorative justice who did life sentences in prison for the same act we are stopping and now they come back and they help us destroy these

guns these guns right here will never ever hurt or harm or kill everybody again because with the guns we destroy, we actually make (inaudible) if you look at our gun buyback fliers, that right there is made hundred percent guns. the warrior just purchased that. it will be at the chase center. we are actually doing this in real life. [applause] takes all of us or none of us. what i like to do is bring on some of our partners that will speak and share with you about the gun buyback. i like to bring up our senator who is very instrumental being very vigilant in helping out so many different issues, but one at the top is gun violence. i want to welcome senator scott wiener. [applause] >> thank you rudey. first of all, i just want to

from the bottom of my heart thank united playas for everything this amazing organization does. p getting gun off the street and helping people reintegrate after spending time in prisons and making sure our young people have a path to a great life and taking those young people under this organization wings early to help them stay safe and healthy. this is a life saving organization so i really really want to thank for everything it does. my heart is so broken for all the people who are dead because of gun violence and their families and their communities that are impacted and changed

and harmed forever. we saw just recently, which is so personal for me, what happened in colorado springs and club q. someone came in with an assault weapon and massacreed 5 people and injured another two dozen and thankfully a very brave veteran and very brave transgender woman took him down and ended that and saved a lot of lives. but they shouldn't have had to do that and why on earth did he have access to a weapon of war? we see that happening all the time. we see it with the mass shootings most of which don't even make headlines. we see it in our community all too often. not mass shootings but people shooting other people because they have access to

guns, and anything that we can do to get these guns off our streets, because we know despite what the nra and all the gun lobby people say, the number of guns does matter. it is not just about mental health, it is about easy access to guns and the more guns that we have in our country, the easier access we have to guns, the more people are going to die. we know that gun violence in california is higher at our boarder with nevada then it is further away from the boarder. why? because it is easy to get dones in nevada. so, gun buyback and this gun buyback, every gun off the street, each of these guns that disappears gets taken apart, that means fewer people get shot because that gun can't shoot anyone anymore. so, this is life saving work and so

important to get the word out-there are people who have guns and want to get rid of it. they can show up, no questions asked where they got it, if it is legal, they can show up and drop off it gun and get cash and drive off and that is the end of it and that is one less gun that will be here to shoot and kill someone and change their community lives forever. thank you up and let's get some guns off the streets. [applause] >> good morning everybody. thanks for being here. i want to just reiterate some things senator wiener said about gun violence in the city. the facts are this, year in and

year out between 60 and 70 sometimes higher percent of deaths are homicides, are fire arm related and when you think about that, it is staggering. year in and year out, we have 10s of thousands of people in the country who injured or killed at the hands of guns and our city is no different from any other place in this country. it has gotten out of control. i get questions all the time about gun buyback and whether they make a difference and whether it is worth the effort and i will say what i always said, yes, it does make a difference and yes, it is worth the effort. these guns end up in the wrong hands and people get hurt and people die. we are not talking about the other side of the issue, people who take their own lives with guns, which is a staggering number in and of

itself. i want to thank united playas rudey corpus rbs his team, senator wiener, i believe the mayor is on the way, everybody that supports the gun buyback because we have to do better in terms of reducing the amount of carjen carnage on the streets as the hand of guns. it is holiday season and usually that is a joyous time of year for many but for a lot of peeptle is a painful time of year because their loved ones have been taken by guns. my ask for anybody who is listening to this message is lets not lose another life, have mother father aunt uncle brother cousin friend have to go through next holiday without the people that are

here this holiday because they lost their lives to gun violence. we have to work together on the issue, we have to do better and we have to support initiatives like this so for those that want to turn in your guns no questions asked, you get some cash and you do? good for the society and city so please support the effort and thank everybody who helped put this together and united playas is always on the streets trying to help us reduce gun violence. thank you for being here. [applause] >> thank you everybody. my name is matt dorsey the supervisors for thisdistricate. welcome to district 6. it is honor to go here with united playas. when i was appointed to it board of supervisors about 7 months ago the headlines tended to focus on the fact i spent 2 years in the police department working for my former boss and

friend bill scott. there were 14 years i spent thin san francisco city attorney office that taught me a lot about city government and lot about the law and during that time there were a couple cases that went up to the u.s. supreme court. one called heller, one called mcdonald that made any meaningful gun control very difficult in the united states of america. what bhakes it more difficult is the political dinomic in washington that makes gun control virtually impossible and we will change that in years to come but until then, community based organizations are the best hope we got and there isn't a finer organization doing the work of anti-violence then united playas. honor to be here. it is important to do this and was pleased

to hear from the chief that these kinds of programs work. i'm a believer in them as well, but it is also important to point out the work united playas isn't just getting guns off the street but that is incredibly important. it is providing programming for youth and providing program for the reentry community and somebody from the recovery community getting to work with the folks from united playas we are united in so many ways as a faith community all most because we believe in the possibility of redemption. that is fundamentally what united playas and what gun buyback is about no questions ask. what is important is get the guns off the street. thank you. with that i like to bring up mayor london breed. [applause]

>> thank you supervisor dorsey and thank you rudey and united playas for always being at the forefront of trying to address many of the challenges around violence that exist in our city. i really appreciate rudey and his consistency, because often times there are sometimes many people or many organizations they step up, they may do something but then they go away. united playas doesn't go away. it steps up and does what is necessary to address the challenge of violence in the city, is pursues justice and support to insure we have people growing up in safe communities from our children to our adults to our seniors, to those who struggleed with the criminal justice system, they provide the second chance, the opportunity what supervisor dorsey spoke of, redemption. what is most challenging when you grow up in a

environment where gun violence is normal and in fact growing up in the fillmore i thought that this is just how everyone lived. you think that it is the norm and eventually sometimes you can get sucked in it yourselves and think this is how you are able to live and survive in your neighborhood and in this city. what united playas tries to do is say there is another way. there is another option. there is a chance to turn things around and i where see maty scott coming up and one thing i appreciate most about her is just her consistency and the work she tries to do to help end violence and get guns off the streets because that is what this is about. most of the people and most of the neighborhoods impacted by gun violence, one thing we share in common is the heartbreak from

the loved ones we lost because of guns. the heartbreak and hopelessness and frustration and dispair, we share that hole in our hearts, because i'll tell you, all most everyone probably has a loved one and somebody they care about that they miss to this very day because they sadly lost them tragically to gun violence. why are we here today? we are here because we want to provide an opportunity for people to turn in their guns. for people to turn their lives around by turning in their guns, by getting these guns off the street. united playas since they started the gun buy-back has gone 2500 guns and semiautomatic weapons and things that should ntd be in the hands of people off the streets. that is lives saved. every done we get off the street is a life saved. [applause] the impact that it has

can't hardly be measured and so what i appreciate is that we are doing this time and time again. we are consistent in providing this opportunity no questions asked. this saturday right in this location between 8 and 12 noon, no questions asked. this is a incredible community and police department partnership to address safety in our city. i want to thank you all for being here and thank you for getting the word out. thank you to the united playas community and thank you so much for everything you continue to do. we have so much work to do and just recently i heard about even a recent tragedy of someone i grew up with who was just killed and the sad realty about this and why this is so hurtful is because it happens too often. it has become too common. that's

somebody's father somebody buther uncle cousin, somebody loved one, somebody's son lost all these people hurt because a gun took his life. this is why we are here. we are here because it is so important to us, so i want to send a message out and plea to people who are out there with those guns, turn them in. no questions asked. saturday is a opportunity to save a life, let's do it. thank you. [applause] >> thank you mayor breed. before i bring up our last speaker and always say somebody from the restorative justice community, my brother who did a life sentence in prison who sat on a shelf (inaudible) but is

back instead of taking lives is giving life. and so, you're right, i just want to be clear real before i bring the brother up. we are not against a second amendment. you got the right to defend and protect your family your loved one by all means. our whole think is based on senseless gun violence. when a bullet leaves a gun it doesn't matter if you are black, white, young, old, rich or poor. it is going to destroy everything in its path. you could be gay or you could be straight, it doesn't matter. all what we are doing with all our community partners here and what i didn't share is, us for-youth came out and are did some gun buy-back out reach. the youth came out. i want to acknowledge that. don't forget about these youngsters stepping

forward to the plate that want to end senseless gun violence. our dispensary community quhoo was the first ones who donated to our gun buybacks.

>> welcome everyone to union square my name is marissa rodriguez and i'm executive director of union square alliance. what a beautiful, sunny welcoming day here in union square. [applause] we are in the heart of san francisco, the crown rule, union square where the holidays are synonymous with union square. i just want to take a moment to acknowledge all the folks behind me today. it takes a village to ensure that our community is safe vibrant and beautiful as it is today. this time last year, was very difficult for all of us, we were still in the throws of the pandemic and we were coming out of some very challenging times.

in fact, throughout the country, we were seeing a rash of retail crime bu. here in san francisco, there was a response like no other. i want to thank our mayor, london breed, our police chief bill scott, for leaning in and ensuring that this was going to be not only a good year but one of the best years that we've experienced since that day here in union square. soy just want to take a moment to thank them for their leadership and all that they've done. i want to also acknowledge kate of oewd and of rec and park who's park we are in now and all the work that he and his team have done to create this welcoming and safe and enjoyable environment. this work, yes, thank you. [applause] the work that they're all doing is vital to the health of our city.

we are in the economic core, union square sits in the economic core downtown and we need our downtown tore thriving and healthy. and they have worked so hard to ensure that it can be so we can continue to support the important services that our city so relies on. this year i'm thrilled to announce that the holidays have done. --begun. if you see behind me, you see macy's great tree and this is the first year that we're introducing winter wonderful land. after thanksgiving you're going to see a village opening up at holiday plaza, the gateway to union square and where the powell street bart station welcomes our visitors. we want to acknowledge and thank bart for all of their help. in addition we're opening up the subways. today we're having a party to

[applause] >> thank you, marissa and thank you so much for the work that you continue to do to make union square a wonderful attraction for visitors and people who live here in the bay area. i want to start by saying to all the folks who reached out and asked, mayor are we lighting up the tree and we have not had thanksgiving? and i'll just say, you know, we're so in the holiday spirit this year, more than ever before mostly because we went through a global pandemic. we couldn't come together before. and it was not just that our economy suffered, it was our ability to be together and be around one another and

experience the holidays without the concerns like we had in previous years due to covid. and you know, we were anxious to get the holiday started early. so as we move into thanksgiving and move into christmas and hanukkah and all the great holidays that we're going to celebrate, the spirit is in the air. i know often times there are a number of videos that go viral that try to paint a harsh picture of our beautiful city. but i'm here to tell you, that things have have happened. things are looking up and i'm optimistic and excited about the future. we see hotel occupancy rates increasing, we see more visitors and shoppers in the downtown area. we see retail start to go expand and improve. i'm more excited because we have not had a major toy store in san francisco in a while. and the fact that macy's is

investing in having a toy store here in union square is a big deal to the community. when people come to union square and san francisco, i know they want to feel safe. and i know that we have a lot of work to do. but let me tell you about some of the investments, we have a larger, both uniform and you know, those who are undercover, who are going to be out here who have been out here making sure that we are addressing a lot of the public safety concerns. and i want to thank chief bill scott, all of the members of our san francisco police department and for your work and being out here and being proactive to help keep the public safe. i also want to thank our union square ambassadors, our downtown ambassadors, urban alchamy. we're adding a 150 more ambassadors to the street. the folks you see with the friendly face who are smiling, who are giving you directions,

who are dealing with concerns and cleanliness in the area, we have some great people out there doing wonderful work. we also in our ambassador team, retired san francisco police departments who have been really extraordinary and wonderful to address some of the opinion safety concerns. we'll have another 150 ambassadors in the streets of san francisco adding more eyes and ears ot streets. we're also going to be enhancing the clean up, making sure that we're power washing and cleaning the streets. making sure that the streets smell good. i know that is important to visitors as well. so i'm excited about that, but i also want to say that bart and muni have partnered to make sure that we have ambassadors and support in those stations as well. so in addition to those who want to drive, you can take muni, you can take bart and you

can come here to see a show or come here to shop or visit one of our amazing restaurants. the other thing that i'm excited to announce, which i know many drivers would love to hear, we plan to offer one hour free parking in union square garage. [applause] in addition to that, i want to thank phil park and rec for the work that they're doing to address some of the safety concerns in a number of our garages, there will be more people, more eyes and ears in spoez spaces paying attention to what is happening here, to make sure that we keep you and your belonging safe. a lot of work to do and we know that, things are going to look up for the city this holiday season. i'm looking forward to it, this tree and ice skating rink, but also we know that there have

been some vacancies in our downtown corridor. we've gotten rid of some of the bureaucratic that make it difficult to deal with the pop up, things that will be temporary will you will make the experience a downtown even better, working with our artist community. so you may see somebody having a good time and wonder what is going on here. and it may be one of our local artist, whether it's a visual or performing arts, that is what you can expect downtown. it's going to be fun and exciting and it's going to be a little chilly but the sun is clearly shining today and inviting you back downtown. this is a great place, but also this is an important place. this is an important place to the economic stability of san francisco. making sure these jobs and retail and in our hotels and

our restaurants, exist and thrive is also equally important. we are here for not just the residents who live in san francisco but the residents all over the area and people who visit us from the u.s. and other countries. we're here to uplift san francisco and make sure that you leave this area and any part of san francisco with a great experience. i want to thank you all for being down here today. we want everyone to know that we got eyes and ears on the streets, so we plan to make this one of the best and safest times during the holiday season for those that come to san francisco yet. and at this time, i want to introduce our chief of police, bill scott. [applause] >> thank you, mayor breed. good morning, everybody. i want to start my remarks with thanks to mayor london breed.

a year ago, almost a year ago today, mayor breed and i stood right over there, right behind these cameras, after one of the worse nights that we've had in a long time in the city. i don't want to regurjitate that story but what i want to highlight is what happened that day and afterwards because of the leadership of this mayor. i was angry, quite frankly, i was sick to my stomach. and the impact that that left to the people that come here to work and shop and the damage that it did to my city worldwide. mayor, we made a promise that day, that things would change. and i stood behind her to make sure that we delivered.

and when i say we, i'm talking about all the people that you see back here and the people behind you. we as a community, had to deliver her promise to make this community and this city safer. i will say, we still have work to do but i'm going to share a story about what has happened in the last year. first of all, i want to thank all of our law enforcement partners. we have our chief park ranger is here. director of rec and park is here today. you heard about our ambassadors and the mayor has committed more investment to our ambassadors. i want to call the police ambassadors. these are people that dedicated that came back to help at a time when we need it the most. working with the union square alliance, which is one piece

that had to happen when the mayor made that promise. but i want to tell you something, through all of that adversity and the disgust of what happened that night t brought us altogether in a different way. because this is our city. this is the place we love and we call home. so here's what happened since then, i'll speak for the san francisco police department. and you're going to hear from our incredible district attorney jenkins who i am glad to call a partner. here's how we delivered on the mayor's promise. employment was an issue, we quadrupled deployment and at times that deployment increase has been exponential. during the holiday season, last year, you could not come to this area without bumping into a police officer and guess what? that's what will happen this year.

we have officers out that you will not see but they're out there for a purpose and that is to arrest people who don't get it. that's when people try to rob after people spend their hard earned money and we want to send a message that that will not be tolerated in the city of san francisco. hear me clearly. with we doubled the size of the theft unit. and this is the result, we have cases 82 or more with charges pending or about to be filed. they're not only hitting san francisco, but they're hitting throughout the region. that's because of the mayor's commitment. we got an overtime budget that restores some of the overtime that we lost in 20-21 and that

helped us deploy officers not only to this community but all over the city. i'm not going to sit here and tell you that everything is perfect because it's not. we rolled up our sleeves and we still have work to do. but that work will be done as a team. that work will be done with a vision of mayor breed and i'm so proud to be part of that work. we have what we call force multiplier, these are people like reserve officers and like this command post vehicle that you see sitting here, that help us send the message that public safety is important to this city. we care. and i think more important than anything that was said a year ago when the mayor stood there, we had to remind people that we care and it matters because this is our city. so i'm going to end by saying

this, it ain't perfect, but things are better. there is a difference here, there is optimism here. last year, we were dealing with people scared to come to work. we were dealing with people scared to come here and shop. after that proments and adjustments that were made, we had record numbers in terms of people coming here to shop because they felt safer. we cannot and will not let that go. i can sit here and quote statistics here all day long, but if you don't come, none of that matters. and we want to tell you, that when you come here, we want to you feel safe because you're safe. thank you for from so many members until the community, who said, you know what, sfpd and all of your officers, sworn and not sworn, we support you.

thank you to the board of supervisors who increased our budget so we can bridge some of our staffing. thank you to mayor breed for provieeding the leadership. thank you to our district attorney, for holding people accountable. thank you to our business community for stepping up and supporting us. thank you to the media for telling our story. but here's one thing, we will control our narrative in the city because the narrative that has been put out about this city is misleading and it's wrong. i live here, this is my city, my family live here, this is my their city. everybody behind this, podium, this is our city. and this is a beautiful city and we want the world to know it. thank you and with that, i want to introduce our district attorney, rick jenkins. [applause]

>> good morning, i'm excited to be here, not just as your da but as a san francisco resident who enjoys bringing my children to this area. they love the tree and they love to ice skate so i'm excited for them to experience the winter wonderful. i want to start by thanking chief scott and mayor breed who have been amazing partners to put us on track towards a safer san francisco. i also want to thank marissa rodriguez the president of safety alliance who has been big a part and made sure that myself and my office understand the concerns so we can address those concerns and make sure that businesses in our city thrive. i think for the first time in a long time, we've realized the connection between law

enforcement and the district attorney's office and our san francisco economy. we can't allow our businesses to be ravaged, the rampant theft to go on and expect them to stay. we need to do better to protect, not only those businesses but the thousands of jobs that they provide to both san francisco and bay area resident who need the ability to take care of their families. and it's our job to make sure that we protect these businesses and the jobs that they provide as well as the experience that they give, because if you're anything like me, i love a little bit of retail therapy. and we need to make sure that we're protecting the businesses in san francisco so that we have access to be able to shop, to be able to unwind, to join together during the holiday period and share that joyous occasion by the gifts for the family members. i want to be clear today, that the lawlessness and the

organized retail theft that we saw this time last year, will not be tolerated under any circumstance. the days of there be free passed for that type of conduct are gone and anyone caught engaging in such conduct will face consequences. this is a new day! [applause] we will do our jobs to protect these businesses and to protect our citizens and our visitors. and a part of that comes with restoring accountability. like i said, i thank chief scott for everything that they're doing to make sure na anyone who chooses to engage in crime is caught because that's the first step, and what i will promise the city is that there will be accountability on the back end. we will not focus on charging but accountability because that's what has to be restored and that's what i promised to the city to bring back.

so i again, i'm just excited to be here, thank you to all the ambassadors who are going to support our city and the police department in making sure that our resident sxz shoppers feel safe. and i look forward to celebrating this holiday season with all of you. [applause] >> good afternoon, everyone i'm john sparks and i'm the store manager here at macy's union square. and i want to start by thanking a few people, jenkins and chief scott and mayor breed and all they're doing to keep the area safe. we are so excited for all of the holiday tradition that's are coming back this year that mean so much for san franciscoian and all of our

visitors, including our windows that will come back with live animals. santa's will return to macy's on black friday and we have a toys r us location here. so we're so excited for everything that is happening this holiday season, for our community and thank you to all of our community partners and everything they're doing to keep us safe. thank you so much. [applause] >> okay, wow, talk about leaning in. i want to thank again all of our law enforcement partners for being here, our district attorney, brooke jenkins, our police chief bill scott and our mayor, mayor london breed, when the lights go on which she have, it means the holidays have begun and it's going to be an incredible holiday season this year. thank you for all of us for coming out. thank you for the alliance team for all you do.

>> for us, we wish we had our queue and we created spaces that are active. >> food and drinks. there is a

lot for a lot of folks and community. for us, it started back in 1966 and it was a diner and where our ancestors gathered to connect. i think coffee and food is the very fabric of our community as well as we take care of each other. to have a pop-up in the tenderloin gives it so much meaning. >> we are always creating impactful meaning of the lives of the people, and once we create a space and focus on the most marginalized, you really include a space for everyone. coffee is so cultural for many communities and we have coffee of maria inspired by my

grandmother from mexico. i have many many memories of sharing coffee with her late at night. so we carry that into everything we do. currently we are on a journey that is going to open up the first brick and mortar in san francisco specifically in the tenderloin. we want to stay true to our ancestors in the tenderloin. so we are getting ready for that and getting ready for celebrating our anniversary. >> it has been well supported and well talked about in our community. that's why we are pushing it so much because that's how we started. very active community members. they give back to the community. support trends and give back and

give a safe space for all. >> we also want to let folks know that if they want to be in a safe space, we have a pay it forward program that allows 20% to get some funds for someone in need can come and get a cup of coffee, pastry and feel welcomed in our community. to be among our community, you are always welcome here. you don't have to buy anything or get anything, just be here and express yourself and be your authentic self and we will always take care of you.
