program is, for not only the mayor but mr. speaker, i wanted to thank you for the presentation. he made remarks public low about me being his land lord. i want to make sure it is clear on public record that while he has a space available in the jails we'll do our best to make sure he does not go there. and if he does i wanted show everyone that i'm in appreciation of all you have done. and i want to say not just for today but what you meant to the state of california and the city of san francisco and part of my personnel journey as a sheriff and your landlord i wanted give you a get out of jail key. so -- thank you. [applause] i -- i know there are

a lot of things going on today and i wanted to i can i show thank you is my remarks. but as i sat here, i want to be very thankful and grateful for you being here today. i know that the dawning of a new day in terms of leadership a lot are paying attention to what is going of i want to take ape moment outside of my remarks to share how humble i feel in regards to what i have been able to do and the people i worked with my entire career. i'm looking forward to the opportunity of working with people, some whom will continue on this journey some who are new

to the job. but sitting here with all of you and seeing all these things happening, the lion dance team. bob carroll was under one of the lion and my tax officers at the academy. machine who taught mow to be who i am in law enforcement. and then the other lion was my friends's daughter amanda. and that represents just this segment of my life where it bridges generations it is a part of who i am. and it is an example of when my experiences have been. and it is very special. i look out there right now and i see people i worked with for year in different areas and i think fringely, you mentioned something about me being diplomatic i don't know if my family would say that. [laughter] ball it is a quality

i have to make sure we do good work for the city we have to work together. there is one word i never mentioned before and in any remarks public low, that word is, love. the love i have for this city is by no means more than the love i have for my family or anymore more than for my friends, but i hope this in the work this i have done in the years that i have spent wearing this uniform and rising through the ranks and askendzing to the position i'm in i hope some of this love translated to the work we have done in to the relations we shared and worked together on. all of us here collectively. any part of my life you have been, know that there has been a part of that love i had for all you have all of this time and i'm very grateful to be here

standi■xng before you with the opportunity to continue on as the sheriff in san francisco. with the opportunity to condition to work with everyone here to make this place safer and better. very hopeful. for when we see coming on the horizon here, very grateful for the work we have done. i know everyone acknowledged for those of you here now this have not been mentioned, know that i'm grateful for you being here. and for the work we have done and i want to recognize mayor breed right now because there were 2 things we experienced since the first time i came on this job. one, one month or whatever after i took this position collective low we faced a pandemic. we dealt with a worldwide challenge this come once every hundred years. and the w we did in san

francisco, was in the just one agency or one place or one person it it is all of us together and i think that what we did in this time, can translate to when we do for the city to make it better. we already planted the seemed mayor breed i recognize the fact you were a part of that journey and he were the guiding force behind making sure we did this work to keep people safe. work to keep this city going >> regardless of what people say. regardless of the experiences we had. we come out at the end of the tunnel together and i thank you for that. [applause] right now, tara helped me with my remarks is tearing her hair out i'm not saying anything this is on here. [laughter] and as you can bear with me, please, i will get back on point but i doment to

recognize as i mentioned, i do want to recognize all of us that work together as a city and the leadership and who we are how we define the city is up to us. and the work we are continuing to do i'm grateful for the opportunity to be the sheriff and to continue this work with all of you. i do want to recognize every person, every member of the sheriff's office. and the sworn staff professional staff, regardless of assignment or work; there is a sense of love this i feel for all of you. which carries me through the challenging times. which helps me to make the hard decisions that sometimes are adheres to core value and not pleasant to have to do.

and i think frank took half my speech. so i will reference back to what he said about what our guiding principles do in terms of how we do our job. and what you are inside or outside the sheriff's office is committed to making sure that you are safe, to making sure we as a community work together. help each other. if you are in a moment where you are at your lowest point, which is usually jail. or juvenile in the the justice system, we are here not just to protect people but to give people opportunity for change. to give people opportunity to become someone better. and that translates to the work we are doing in partnership with our public safety agencies and partnership with other agencies throughout the city. because this is a group effort and something we are doing

together. we have partnered with the community in ways we have not done before. that's important as well because when we are trying to message about we are all in this together. not this it is any one person, job or the government's job not that it is any elected official's job alone temperature it is something we all do together. and i appreciate the opportunity to continue to be a part of this. i spent my entire civil service career in the sheriff's office. i seen people come and go. i now stand before you someone who will continue my commitment to public service in a more role i say that a lot of people i work with through the years have moveod and entered different chaps. i recognize the current members of the department this are active but recognize those of you in the room this served previously and i want to thank you for this service. and thank you for being a part

of who i am right now. your service continues through me. and through the leadership i provide to the sheriff's office. just please, everybody, thank you very much and give a round for those who have previously served. [applause] i would be remiss if i did not support under sheriff johnson in her duties to recognize people earlier today. if i did in the recognize our next mayor, who will be doing exactly what i did but mayor lurie, thank you for being here. [applause] he is already showing he is smarty than me he has a cup of coffee in his hand. something i did not take the opportunity to do this morning. to the degree i usually dom recognize the mayor patterson who is in the room as well.

[applause] and the reason why i do this because he is currently also lieutenant in our department and an example of how sometimes leadership trans ends your job duties and is a part of who you can be to your community. thank you for being here and for the service you do as well. it is very representative of when we are about of who we are of who i am. and kevin franklin, thank you for being here as well. [applause] public service we work together growing up through thehing i want to say about that is, i carry a love for the city, carry a love for each of you in the work that i do here. as the sheriff. i will continue to do that as the sheriff.

and the last thing is to leanne, who i know i told this story hundreds of times but -- love really started for me not just with love for the city but i got to carry it on in the job itself when i met her in jail for the first day on the job. yea she was not in jail incarcerated she was working. as was i. but -- the result of this love born out of that first day in the jails was my family who is here my son joe. my daughters mia, marissa and melanie and my son in college now jordan. i want to thank all of you for bearing with me through the challenges for being supportive and understanding because of the job and the toll it takes on all of us. perfect timing right there.

and the calling that we have we can't do in public safety and law enforcement in service to the city, if we did not have the support of our family, friends and loved once. that's what this moment is about now. and i thank you for being here and thank you for being a part of that journey. i'm very happy to say i'm absolutely committed and energized and ready for another 4 years of keeping the city safe. thank you, everyone.

you're watching san francisco rising with chris manners. special guest is david chu. hi i'm chris manners and you're

watching san francisco rising the show that's about restarting rebuilding and re imagining our city. i guess today is david chiu, the city attorney for the city and county of san francisco , and he's here today to talk to us about the opioid crisis, reproductive rights and the non citizen voting program. mr chu, welcome to the show. thanks for having me on happy to talk about whatever you want me to talk about, so can we start by explaining the difference between the city attorney's office and the district attorney's office? i think it could be slightly confused. that is a very common fusion with members of the public so um, if you get arrested in san francisco by the san francisco police department, all criminal matters are dealt with by the san francisco district attorney . we handle all civil matters on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. what that means is a number of things. we provide advice and counsel to all actors within city government from our mayor. every member of the board of supervisors to the 100 plus departments, commissions boards

that represent the city and county of san francisco. we also defend the city against thousands of lawsuits. so if you slip and fall in front of city hall if there's a bus accident if there is an incident involving the san francisco police department, we defend those matters. we also bring lawsuits on behalf of the city and county of san francisco, where most famous for litigating and obtaining the constitutional right to marry for lgbtq couples have sued gun manufacturers, payday lenders, oil companies, you name it, who are undercutting the rights of san franciscans and the city and county of san francisco. so now moving on to the opioid crisis. i understand you've had some success in court, um, dealing with manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies. could you elaborate a little bit on that for us, so the opioid industry and by that i refer to the legal industry that prescribes pain

pills. um over years. uh, deceived americans and resulted in literally thousands upon thousands of deaths and tragedies that we see on our streets every day when it comes to the addictions that folks are experiencing. many of the addictions really stemmed from what happened over a decade plus period where the prescription pain industry marketed prescription pills in ways that were false. we were one of thousands of jurisdictions around america that brought a lawsuit against the opioid industry. but we've had a particular set of successes that others have not. ah we initially brought a lawsuit a few years ago against every part of the opioid supply chain, and that included manufacturers, distributors and retailers, including pharmacies over the course of four plus years. a number of these corporate defendants settled with us. we've as of this moment brought in over $120 million of cash and

services. to the city to help address the root causes of what we're talking about. but a few months ago, we had a really historic verdict against the pharmacy, walgreens and their role walgreens was responsible for literally over 100 million pills, flooding the streets of san francisco over a period of years where they flouted federal law that require them to track where they're pills were going to. they had a what? what we refer to as a phil phil phil. pharmacy culture where folks would bring in their prescriptions, and the pharmacist would just fill them without checking why someone was coming in multiple times without checking why certain doctors were seen a 100 fold increase in the number of opioid prescriptions that they were prescribing. so we had a historic judgment against walgreens recently, but it's been a very intense lawsuit. and we know that will never bring

back the lives that we have lost to opioid addictions. but it's critical for us that we get the resources that we need. maybe one other thing i'll mention because it's often confusion. a large percentage of folks who are addicted to street level drugs say heroin or fentanyl started their addictions. with painkillers, opioid medications that were prescribed through doctors provided through pharmacies and so literally the suffering that we're seeing on our streets was caused by the opioid industry over many, many years and has created the significant crisis that we are dealing with right now. right right now moving on. i understand after the recent supreme court ruling, striking down robust as wade that you've put together an organization that's designed to help mm. provide free services to people who are both. seeking abortions and providing them can you tell us about the organization? sure so, um, before the dobbs decision came down, but after we

learned about the leak from the supreme court about the draft that suggested the decision would be as bad as it has turned out to be, um, i reached out to leadership from the bar association of san francisco because we knew that if that decision came down there would be tens of thousands of patients around the country as well as providers whose legal situation would be in jeopardy. women doctors, nurses who could be subjected to lawsuits who could be arrested who could be prosecuted, particularly in red states? 26 states where rights are being rolled back or in the process or have already been rolled back because of the dobbs decision. so we put out a call to lawyers all over the bay and frankly, all over the country, and as of this moment there have been over 70 law firms that have answered our call to be part of the legal alliance for reproductive rights who have committed to reviewing cases and providing pro bono assistance to patients and providers who are

at legal risk. we also are looking at potential cases that these lawyers can bring against various states. in these areas that are looking to deprive women and patients and providers of their of their rights. um it is a very dark time in america, and i'm really proud that that barrier attorneys, the legal community care have stepped up to answer the call. it's very important that's great. so now the non citizen voting program that was passed by voters just for school boards has faced them court challenges recently, but it was in place for the most recent election that we've had. how do you see that situation panning out? in fact, it's been in place for now. five school board elections. um so a little bit of background in our san francisco schools over one out of three kids. has a parent who is a non citizen who doesn't have a say in the election of the policy makers that dictate the future of our san francisco

public schools, and so over a number of years, there has been a movement to allow immigrant parents to vote in school board elections. few things i'll mention about that is our country has a very long history when it comes to allowing immigrants to vote. from 17 76 for 100 and 50 years until after world war. one immigrants were allowed to vote in most states in our country on the theory that we want to assimilate immigrants in american democratic values and institutions, and it wasn't until an anti immigrant backlash in world war one that that sort of ended. but in recent years, um cities across america have allowed this to happen. in fact, at this moment, believe there are over a dozen cities that have voted to allow non citizens to vote in a number of context. now, this is particularly important in our schools just given how challenge our schools are, and given that we know that when we engage more parents in her school system, regardless of their citizenship it helps to

lift up our schools for all parents. and so in 2016 the voters of san francisco past about measure that allowed this to happen. unfortunately earlier this year, there were conservative organizations that came to san francisco to bring a lawsuit to try to overturn this , and i should also mention it is obviously the perspective of our office and our city that this is constitutional. nothing in the constitution prohibits non citizens from voting. and in fact, there's an explicit provision in the constitution that allows chartered cities like san francisco when it comes to schoollections to be able to dictate the time and manner of those elections. and so, uh, we are involved in litigation on this issue. there was an initial ruling that was not good for us that essentially said at the trial court level. we shouldn't allow this. um we appealed it up to the appellate level. the appellate court made an initial decision to allow this past november election to

proceed as it has for the last previous four elections. we're going to be in front of that court soon. stay tuned. we'll see what happens. it was good to hear that the city was able to reach a settlement with the center for medicare and medicaid services are meant laguna honda could still operate. how did you manage to reach that agreement? it was not an easy conversation . just a little bit of background. so laguna honda has been an incredibly important institution in san francisco for 150 years, taking care of our most vulnerable patients are frail, very elderly patients, many of whom are at end of life. and a few years ago, there were some issues in that hospital. some violations of rules that we very much want to make sure don't get violated. there were folks that weren't using proper ppe, who are bringing cigarette lighters into the facility, who might have brought some contraband into the facilities. we have zero tolerance for that and have made that very clear. we self reported some of these violations to the federal

authorities. and unfortunately from our perspective, they took the very disproportionate step of ordering the closure. the permanent closure of lugano, honda. problematic on a number of reasons. first and foremost, there are just no skilled nursing facility beds not just in california but around the country. after their order came down. we literally were putting 1000 calls a day to skilled nursing facilities around california and around the country and could find nowhere to move the 700 patients that we had had in the gonna honda but just as disturbingly as we were forced to start moving some of these patients, a number of them died. there's a concept in medicine known as transfer trauma. when you move someone who is that frail and unfortunately, folks folks died and we were at a point where we were five weeks away from the deadline for the federal government. that they had provided to us to close the facility. so uh and we have been

trying for months to get the federal government to reconsider their action, so i was compelled to bring a lawsuit on behalf of the city and county of san francisco and very pleased and appreciate that we were able to come to a settlement whereby transfers will be delayed at least until next year. we're going to have at least a year of funding. to keep the facility open, and hopefully we can get back up on our feet and ensure that no future violations occur because this is an institution that has to stay open for the good of these patients. quite right, quite right. so finally, congratulations on winning an important public power service dispute with pg and e. um why is it important that the city's rights as a local power provider maintained well, so san francisco has been a local power provider for decades. we are fortunate to have access through our hedge hetchy hydroelectric system to provide electricity to a number of providers, particularly public recipients of that. and unfortunately, pg

any has used its monopoly when it comes to private electricity to try to stop that, and to block that, and from our perspective, they violated federal law in adding literally tens of millions of dollars of expenses to san francisco and institutions that we're trying to ensure um, public power infrastructure. put years of delays on our ability to do this, and so we had to bring a number of appeals in the federal commission. ah we were successful in those appeals, and there was a decision recently that basically held the pg and e could not use its monopoly to unfairly delay or add tens of millions of dollars of cost. to the city and county of san francisco, as we are trying to move forward with our vision of public power. clearly pgd has not been able to serve not just san francisco but northern california. well we all know that with the wildfires with its bankruptcies, with all the

issues that they've had, we think there and we are grateful to the court. and providing a ruling that allows us to move forward. well thank you so much for coming on the show. i really appreciate the time you've given us here today. i appreciate and thanks for your thanks for your questions. thank you. well that's it. for this episode, we'll be back with another one shortly for sf gov t v. i'm chris manners. thanks for watching. yeah. ♪♪ >> san francisco! ♪♪

>> this is an exhibition across departments highlighting different artworks from our collection. gender is an important part of the dialogue. in many ways, this exhibition is contemporary. all of this artwork is from the 9th century and spans all the way to the 21st century. the exhibition is organized into seven different groupings or themes such as activities, symbolism, transformation and others. it's not by culture or time period, but different affinities between the artwork. activities, for example, looks at the role of gender and how certain activities are placed as

feminine or masculine. we have a print by uharo that looks at different activities that derisionly performed by men. it's looking at the theme of music. we have three women playing traditional japanese instruments that would otherwise be played by men at that time. we have pairings so that is looking within the context of gender in relationships. also with how people are questioning the whole idea of pairing in the first place. we have three from three different cultures, tibet, china and japan. this is sell vanity stot relevar has been fluid in different time periods in cultures. sometimes being female in china but often male and evoking

features associated with gender binaries and sometimes in between. it's a lovely way of tying all the themes together in this collection. gender and sexuality, speaking from my culture specifically, is something at that hasn't been recently widely discussed. this exhibition shows that it's gender and sexuality are actually have been considered and complicated by dialogue through the work of artists and thinking specifically, a sculpture we have of the hindu deities because it's half pee male and half male. it turns into a different theme in a way and is a beautiful representation of how gender hasn't been seen as one thing or

a binary. we see that it isn't a modest concept. in a way, i feel we have a lot of historical references and touch points throughout all the ages and in asian cultures. i believe san francisco has close to 40% asian. it's a huge representation here in the bay area. it's important that we awk abouk about this and open up the discussion around gender. what we've learned from organizing this exhibition at the museum is that gender has been something that has come up in all of these cultures through all the time periods as something that is important and relevant. especially here in the san francisco bay area we feel that it's relevant to the conversations that people are having today. we hope that people can carry that outside of the museum into their daily lives.

>> district 10 is the place to be. having a opportunity to represent the last real black community here in san francisco was very important to me. not only just the black community, but all the communities of the color in district 10 from bayview hunter point to potrero hill to visitation valley to dog patch to little hollywood. [music] my family originally migrated from louisiana and they came in settled in san francisco. my grand father worked on the ship yard, i had great uncles and aunts who worked thin shipyard or did

domestic work for families here in san francisco. most of my entire life it was my mother and i. i was raised by a single mom, single apparent. parent. we lived with imy grand futher and potrero hill and spent early time in san francisco and spnt time living in the haight. it was important to me to become the supervisor of district 10 for so many different reasons. one is the place where i'm originally from, the place where i actually had my biggest opportunity after graduating from college coming and working as executive director of young community developer jz having the opportunity to run for the board of supervisors and be able to effect policy, effect change in the very community where my family is from. >> my name is kelly, the owner

manager along with my husband ken. >> mission blue we are neighbors first and so when we first came to the neighborhood we entered the stories and got involved and learned there was a opportunity to get plugged into the merchant corridor and so we see mission blue as setting the table for the community to come together around good coffee, good pastries. >> when we move today the neighborhood we were volunteers to the [indiscernible] i asked what is a butterfly of this area and says the mission blue and we said if we open anything we will call it mission blue. because the neighborhood was so beautiful and we wanted to be a part of becoming along with the neighborhood. we want td to add value. and, one of the great great heavy secrets of the valley, we are awhere the cross town trail starts.

if you are not familiar with cross town trail, it is a 17 mile trail across san francisco and cuts through not only our commercial coidor, but the greenways, and there are six gardens built by the neighbors for the neighborhood and they have been here over three decades and they are a incredsable treasure. >> the rolling farmer market, arrives every saturday morning 10 a.m. and there is fruits and vegetables and they take ebt and accessible to every of the neighbors so we have a whole neighborhood with fresh fruits and vegetables and we love to ask local musicians to come. it is really like a ecosystem saturday morning, which is one of our goals. what a neighborhood is all about. >> my name is lisa, and i'm coowner of sf dog parler.

we have been here going on 9 years. it is in visitation valley i walk to work 6789 it is very diverse and everyone is friendly. rewarding we meet a lot of new people. a lot of different dogs. >> we have done a lot here since i have been in office. we opened another grocery outlet, we have a new lucky store right in the bayview plaza, which is exciting. this facility we are in right now 1550 evans the brand new southeast community center is another amazing accomplishment for district 10. if you x had from visitation valley across bay shore and come into third street you see a nice bayview sign that demonstrates reflection of one you are coming into bayview hunters point, but also it is a art project to make it more visually appealing when you enter

our community. >> i'm barbara, the wine maker and owner of [indiscernible] in bayview. we started wine making as a hobby actually in our garage here in the neighborhood in 2006 and 2015 we had the opportunity to open a tasting room when we have done in this space and here we are. we expanded to add in food options and caf e experience. i opened the business in bayview and inspired by the community. done a lot of pop up aventsds events in the neighborhood, let's try to take this to the next level and that was really what drove us with the support we got from the bayview community. you can expect to get a local bayview hospitality and welcome. you will experience wine tasting without going to the wine country, because we are small producers

and we have not only our wine but introduced italian varieties as well so you can stit and enjoy all that, plus comfort style food. >> my name is anthony, the owner of [indiscernible] ice cream in the bayview. me and my [indiscernible] my aunt used to take us out to eat ice cream all the time and that was our bonding time. we would spend hours eating ice cream and talking and cratching up. one day my aunt came with a idea, why don't you bring ice cream shop back to the bayview. there hasn't been one here in some time so i thought it would be a good idea to bring something back to the community i grew up and something i haven't seen a new business come back to community. i want to create the environment, the sit down environment you can enjoy a

banana split, a root beer float, milk shake, just creating the environment for people to enjoy. got the passion to do it being here in the community and from my family. >> we celebrated with the parade at the opera house. as we talk about beautification and promoting the arts, we talk about the culture of bayview hunter point and the things we have been doing to make sure we preserve opportunities for communities to come together and it is also is a larger amount of people in community that have the opportunity to come out and see what is going on and we'll continue to do that every black history month to promote ;6not only our corridor here and southeast sector, promote black people coming together during black history month and put on

display the talent and great amazing residents we have here in san francisco that come out to support and promote black history during black history month. >> my name is lena mills and the owner of creative ideas. really inspired me to open my company because i was tired of working for somebodyential. else. we have columbian and mexican food and diverse menus for any occasion. the menu is when i was a kid growing up with my family, we always want to cook all different things, so i learned how to do a lot of things we do here at the

cafe. it amazing because we are in communication with supervisor shamann walton, especially when he does coffee and he talks with everybody in the neighborhood that wants to talk to him and ask about how things are going with our community, right? we get together with other businesses that organize singing and doing that in our neighborhood on our street and people see that all the businesses get together and they know what we are doing in the neighborhood. we are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. we do local events. with the churches. we did two at the park. >> my name is--the owner of christopher books in san francisco. independent book store. we have been here 33 years.

the bookstore housed in a victorian [indiscernible] who runs the potrero hill archive. this space is used for number of different things. the pharmacy being one of them. what makes us unique is we maintained the original character of the space. if you look up here, you see the ancient retrofitting. these are the original fixtures of what was here in the early 1920's or so. one of my favorite parts is sitting in that chair out front and saying hello to people when they come in and one of my favorite parts is when someone asks me oo recommend a book. you have home, you have work, well a third place is a place where you look for community and you build community, and i think of christopher's and other businesses like that as a third

place. i had kids who come in that i knew when they were born and they come in and introduce to their kids. that is how long i is are been here. that feeling of history and connection and family and just being a sole proprietor in one of the most amazing cities in the world. i still enjoy coming to work every day. >> we definitely have a lot of amazing places to go here in district 10 whether the bars around for decades. bottom of the hill. connecticut yankees and we have newer spots like gumbo social, [indiscernible] so excited about all the things we have enwanted to make sure as supervisor i really address the concerns and issues that

community has and left with tangible assets on the way out, but also put policies in place that out live me as a supervisor. [music] >> [music] you are watching golden gate inventions with michael. this is episode exploring the excelsior. >> hi i'm michael you are
