our parents literally built this here city hall.ink about what we must do now, yes, we have an amazing mayor, and she is not only responsible for creating newness, we all are. one person cannot go into a structure that was built on white supremacy, a structure that was built for white men and do it alone. i'm going to repeat that. one black woman mayor is not responsible alone for dismantling white supremacy. it is all of our jobs. and for those who are elected and those who are appointed, the activists and organizers that i am, you speak from what you not know about, but you listen to the ones that are most impacted by the structures that we're trying to dismantle, that you hear us. that you hear the young men taking life or death chances downtown in the tenderloin. selling a $20 bag and that they'll have a place to stay. with you hope you'll listen and your pin will be guided by your moral conscience. we hope you visit 15th and bryant in the early morning, and you see the young woman who is incarcerated herself and in a domestic v

i think the public defender should have a presence in city hall. and then jeff adachi came to me, with the bizarre idea, he said every dollar you give to the public -- to the district attorney's office, you've got to match that in the public defender's office. i thought about that for 30 seconds -- [applause] [ cheers ] that's how he got it out of me. he showed up with more people advocating on his behalf. and then he required me to come out to the juvenile justice facility, to make sure that i understand how important it was for there to be equal resources on behalf of youngsters, who were in the system, because jeff wanted youngsters out of the system. and he wanted them never to return to the system. [applause] and that's the basis ... so now you understand why i always knew if there is ever an occasion -- ever an occasion when either dennis came after me or george came after me, i had my big brother jeff adachi.
