there were about 80 volunteers in laurie's group, including supervisors stephen sherrill and bilal mahmoud. organizers say it means a lot to get the spotlight from the mayor, who promised to clean up san francisco during his campaign. it's great to have the leader of our city elected leader of our city to support us. we as neighbors, as volunteers, grassroots volunteers have been, you know, working to try to get our city cleaner for many years now and to have, you know, his support is really great to show people that this is something that they can do to make the city a better place. organizers say joining a cleanup is an easy introduction to civic service for anyone. there's at least one cleanup in every san francisco zip code every weekend. let us turn our attention now to our weather, our increasingly chilly weather. a live look tonight from our network of cameras across the bay area. some of those spots you see on your screen right now will be under a freeze warning tonight. let's bring in meteorologist rob mina. just how long is it going to go? upper 20s, low 30s. and we got the clear

the park is in supervisor stephen sherrill's district, and he is trying to calm residents nerves about this executive order. when an executive order takes aim at the non-statutory elements of the presidio trust, but the presidio trust is totally statutory, you realize it's a lot of hot air from a president who is consistently full of hot air. the presidio trust was established in 1996 by a congressional act bipartisan congressional act. it's unique in the national park system for being a public private partnership. so far, there has been no announcement of any legal action in response to the president's executive order. the city of brentwood and contra costa county says it's taking a stand against the growing push to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs in government and in business. brentwood leaders came under fire for some in the community this week as they discussed expanding the city's dei programs. the city is considering adding a parade. a pride parade and disabled pride month. it comes as president trump has called for an end to all federal government dei programs
