i think that we have a very broad scope of representation at cpac.pretty much everybody from consumers, parents, public agencies, providers, educators, so i think we're a great group to be able to support the planning process. we're ready to go. we'll do the best we can to continue to work with the other partners in the planning. and i think that nine months is a reasonable goal. i do believe that thisnessne cos the advocacy that cpac and all of news the community have devoted years to in terms of lifting up our 0-5 population, giving really what we talked about, quality early learning for all san francisco children. and so we're very excited about it. we think we're going to win. we don't have any doubt that we're on the right side of this argument. and we really appreciate supervisor yee and the rest of your colleagues who have supported us in making sure that happens. thank you again. >> hello. i'm gretchen aims, i've been working early childhood for over 25 years. and i just want to underscore the urgency of prop c. the program i currently work f

my work with cpac has been fulfilling. i've surrounded by a lot of great leaders. we continue to really fight fo the state level, we continue to fight for our youngest children here in san francisco. we feel strongly that there's no better investment in early care and education, and we know how important that is to san francisco in general. i think we have the most expensive cities in the world. we are struggling and reaching critical stages for workforce development, with retaining and recruiting teachers in workforce that's high caliber and high quality so we are working hard to ensure that the investments increase so that we can pay teachers more. they are the lowest compensated a month in the nonprofit sectors. just barely make above the minimum wage, so we are working hard to improve those conditions knowing this is a priority for san francisco. so i really appreciate your reconsideration, your consideration of my repayment. i'd also like to lend our support to my colleagues who can't be here, gretchen ames and matt pemberton. thank you. >> supervisor safai: t

. >> harris: i want to ask you, matt, you do a huge event every year, cpac, and you talk about these issues. and you have leaders on the stage. and i know you also have a huge digital footprint for that event. because you have those leaders in your constellation you have to protect them and their advices and everything else. this is a big issue. i'm just curious, what those conversations have yielded in your experience? >> we interact with a lot of the big technology companies and the big platforms. a lot of them under attack these days. under attack overseas but they're also under attack in the political context, are they doing enough. i have a simple idea, we think the government has to solve everything. i'd like to bring the tech companies together. i belt there's simple solutions, like you said the financial companies. there's pretty simple solution 245s we partner with states and localities, it's their constitutional obligation. i bet these companies can solve this problem. i don't think we should look for congress to solve it. the president is a good thing for him to pull them
