this is annie chung from [inaudible] for the elderly and i'm also here to support jim's nomination to the police commission. sf pathway to citizenship and we have helped probably over now 10,000l.p.r. residents to become legal residents and we do this with a large number of volunteers who will spend a whole i really appreciate pro bono attorneys like mr. byrne who is willing to spend a lot of time fighting for the immigrants who are usually stripped of their rights and eager to do everything they can and then get citizenship. so with jim's background as an advocate for the voiceless and the most vulnerable, people, mostly minorities who face deportation, really, those are the darkest hours and you can imagine the fear that our community has particularly has nowadays with the anti-asian hate crimes. so we're looking forward to a police commissioner who would listen, who understands the fears of the immigrants and who would really roller their sleeves and come down to the community to work with us so we could provide public safety and some reforms for community police work for us. so i'
