when young girls are opinionated, they are called bossy. when young boys are the same they are called leader. and as us bossy girls grow into women, we find if we dedicate our lives to social justice that it's going to take a lot more to make change than simply getting an appointment on a really powerful commission. it happens with hard work. it happens with courage. and angela has demonstrated courage and i have never worked with a harder working commissioner than angela. she has worked incredibly hard to get the crisis intervention team in place and it is taking a huge effort to absolutely change the way police address people in psychiatric crises and we are nowhere near getting it in place. and we need angela to carry us to the finish line. thank you. >>> good evening, supervisors. my name is malcolm young. i'm deputy director at chinatown community development center. i'm here to speak in support of victor hwang. i've known victor for 16 years now and victor is the most dedicated community advocate that i have met in my career. i would
