of the passion of working san franciscans to reclaim our city, investing a lot of time and energy since we don't have money to elect a progressive board like the one we have here now. it would take passion, as well as intelligence and experience to move this city in a more compassionate direction, for all of the children, and homeless, and working poor. i believe we need a strong woman 's voice and the president 's physician, especially with the majority of men on the board now. we all would benefit from hillary ronen's leadership on the board of supervisors. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> hello. happy new year everybody, and many congratulations to the new supervisors. i am, lipscomb -- we wrote a brief letter on thursday evening to the board about this procedure today. it is signed by betty traynor, was a president of the board, and jessica lehman, who is the executive director. dear supervisors, senior and disability action works closely with the board of supervisors on policy issues and city budget decisions. we have a stake in the election of the next board president. we hope you will ta

we have traditionally been one of the most incompetenovative, progressive cities, but now, we're bringing up the rear. but today, the jjpa and ul aof its constituents are offering our support. we need to be treated as equal partners. other departments in the city do it. the sheriff's department, adult probation, they respect us as professionals, but too often, juvenile probation, it feels like we're ignored with them. we're even considered the enemy when serving our youth. just too often, it seems like we're not using the we mentality, but it's the us versus them mentality. we will continue to collaborate, so together, we can best support our young people, but to do so, we need an equal seat at the table. in that spirit, we offer our expertise, we offer the ability to fill three of the seats at the sable. san francisco could be the model leading the sfat tate on juvenile justice services.

we are in a progressive city. it only means that we are the ones that elect the progressive board of supervisors president. so i hope that you do the right thing and that you elect her president. thank you. >> thank you for your comment. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is mena parks. i've come here today in support of hillary ronan for board president. in my experience working on progressive issues here in san francisco, like police accountability, resources for after school programming, affordable housing and the most recently cannabis and social equity. supervisor ronan and her office have been engaged, courageous, passionate and effective in being a representive for the voice of the people. and as many people who have already expressed, supervisor ronan doesn't wait for you to walk into her office to express concerns. she comes out to the community and asks us what we think and inquires about how the issues affect us and that is the time of leadership that we need. we need active --

our jail is a progressive city. what we do is different from what other cities and counties to. that's why it's important for dph to be part of the jail envisions. i wanted to point that out. the other thing about the jail report, unbelievable amount of work just if you think about an electronic health record and the sheriff at that time, somehow connecting, that's what latoya made happen. it's the first time we had the opportunity to look at that stuff. the report represents people who self-report substance abuse. we operate in the jail the biggest detox facility i in the city. we look at the people who told us what they used. they may not require medical assistance support like cocaine or intoxication and withdrawal. this likely represents an over estimation because it's self-report of use and not a diagnosis of a substance abuse disorder. part of that recovery involves support from the behavorial health staff and also medically assisted therapy which we provide in our jail and we have for decades and it is national model other jails are incorporating that in their treatment.

you know, san francisco, the progressive city that it is is first on everything -- on a lot of things, on most things. we're a model for the country. i've been saying this since day one. san francisco should have done a citywide project labor agreement a long time ago. there's other communities in the state that have them. contra costa, lob, los angeles, santa clara, just to kna -- lo angeles, santa clara, just to name a few. this is a few that builds on those values to protect the workers and to protect the citizens of san francisco. so i'm glad that we finally got to this point. there's a lot of work still to do. as the mayor mentioned, we have nine months or a little bit longer to negotiate and hammer out the rest of this. and i know the mayor's going to press on her staff to get that done by the deadline that we have, and we're going to get this thing done. and then, it's hopefully going to become law later this year, and it's going to be help for a lot of people, disadvantaged people. we have a great relationship with city build, and we're going to bring a lot of those people tha

if we're not paying attention and the progressive cities and states, we are going to end up with a systemwhich we may have formal equality in some places, but we do not have survival opportunitities for trs people. amy: earlier this month, new york state lawmakers approved a pair of bills aimed at protecting the lgbtq community. one bill bans licensed mental health professionals from participating in so-called conversion therapy. talk more about these bills and or concern. the village and has been pushing through the new york state assembly. basically, nondiscrimination law. we are explicitly protected people under state law. it comes with a hate crimes component which in the and incarcerates more people and is up officers allowed to arrest people of colors for antiwhite crimes, you know, trans and lgbt people first-rate crimes, so we have to be very careful about how our reform efforts are building a feeling mass incarceration's. as it should be more critical about how many people we are sending to prison and how we're doing that in the service of what? amy: i want to thank you so much.
