next seven years will take us making sure that we are having a responsible conversation and the planning department that didn't just say we're going to build a thirty story building in on slow street near ocean beach is not climate change feasible no time three it makes sense that's why lydia will be great i couldn't be here be are important proud what that means for an extraordinary commission thank you for coming here you made named over in the room so glad you are here because it is tough estimate to i'll leave it at that. i can'ts community of people that she is not someone who operates in isolation but

san francisco is known as a city filled with diversity culture and progressive ideas. our ever changing city and the people within in. but it was not always this way, women struggled to have one of their own on their life until 2021. it would not be until 32 years later that the mex women clarissa mcman served in the board of supervisors. since then women have continued to make significant contributions to the board of supervisors. so who are these women? and what impact have they made with their time on the board. >> to be honest it came as a surprise when i became as a supervisor. i was working as a deputy director in the mayor's office and there were some challenges with the then supervisor and

mayor gavin newsom at the time removed that supervisor from office. i was asked to serve on the role. it was a quick transition, but i got into public service because i really believe that government is a place where you can create opportunities and level the playing field. >> madam clerk, would you please call the roll. >> i was on the board of supervisors from 2001 to 20111. i have been involved in working my community, there was scheduling to be a redevelopment area plan and as african americans we knew that meant, that was usually a removal of certain kinds of people. so because fs path, there had to be a committee formed of all the people that lived in the community. everybody had to be involved in this committee and there were certain rules and regulations and we had to get neighbors to vote for us and so we did that and i did that, and i won the seat on that committee and that kind of started everything. >> supervisor kristenson.

>> i think having women in the board of supervisors and legislative bodies all around the country have meant that some of the issues that have traditionally called family issues are now raised .d >> i think san francisco and the rest of the country here is very behind and i think that you know, many mothers, they don't have a choice about whether they get to return to work or not. >> having individuals who are women in all of these places helps to create, a more rich dialogue around what policy choices actually mean and what the impact to people and family and lives would be. so sing having women on the board here in the city has been impactful in that way. >> supervisor kim, kim presentation. >> democracy is about representation, how can you leave off over half of the population. a lot of women are not just taking care of children but taking care of parents and working so all of those life's experiences are part now of our policies of our city policies

and throughout the country >> supervisor breed. >> here. >> breed present. >> supervisor maxwell. >> we saw two of san francisco female mayor having originated from the board of supervisors as well. that's where people are seen as leaders and get exposure and have the influence to influence policy. i think it's important to see ourselves in that. >> supervisor cohen. cohen present. >> doris championed rent control. contracts for black women, women of color and small businesses, he will a was really really special, she was really who motivated me. she worked for the lawu, she was a switch board operator and then secretary. and then founded an organization cofounded with somebody called congress of

racial equity core. so the lin she came with was about equity, about young women, seniors at-risk youth having jobs. it was about more police guided. those three women to me left their legacy. >> supervisor elliot. >> when you think about the legislative and women legislatures, i think the tendency is to find a women issue that would otherwise won be covered. but so many of our legislatures women included have touched on so many faucets of policies. it's important to be seen through your life experiences how you identify and for a young girls, i think having women on the board is important because you get to see that you actually changed seat yourself in that power of decision. >> that concludes business for today. >> there was one where the

fellows, at the time, they were arguing and i was the only women and only african-american, and i'm sitting there, thinking oh my god, it's a room full of people because it's a board day and i'm thinking, what can i say to stop this. so the universe gave me the words, gentlemen, let us be about the people of business. and of course all the people started clapping. and they had to do what? they had to act like gentleman, that one for me, showed the importance of having women, having the importance of having african-americans and the african-american women. >> to the women of the board, past, present and future, thank you for your strength, grace, and commitment to changing san francisco for the better. let's continue to make history.

>> the filling that on encouragement center offers community resources is to the community efforts for the heritage. >> and filipinos features in the community a indigenous community in weaving those beautiful textiles for hundreds of years we're proud to feature more than one antique ones and other fashioned from the community. and we're trying to have an
