in this sense, the latino cultural district is similar to other cultural districts in the city, whether it's chinatown, japantown or north beach. there are many reasons why this district was created, but let me just mention some of the reasons to strengthen and preserve latino arts and cultural institutions and activities. 2 to encourage civil engagement and advocate for social justice and three to, encourage economic vitality and economic justice for disparate families, for working people for imgrants. 4, to promote economic sustainability for neighborhood businesss and non-profits. 5, to promote education about latino culture and 6, to ensure collaboration with another community arts and schools and businesses. to achieve the purposes of this latino cultural district, my office has been working closely with the mayor's office, with our residents our businesses, our artists and other community stakeholders, who have engaged in a process for the purpose of creating a special use district for this cultural district. as this process for the creation of a special use district is underway, we have many lo
