brooks. >> hello again, eric brooks, san francisco clean energy advocates and californians for energy choice. and our city of san francisco and the green party. so i've been coming to lafco hearings for 12 years now, mostly about cleanpowersf. and i would urge you -- we had over those times, especially -- and i will say thankfully the sfpuc is no longer oppositional to us and they're helping us now. there were times when the sfpuc was definitely oppositional to cleanpowersf back in the day. when we had that problem we also had the problem that the legal representation was not helpful and was taking the side of the sfpuc. and part of that was who knows what the reason for that is but a big part was that the legal representation was not connected to san francisco, it was actually in sacramento and had to travel here, it was not consistent, it did not do effective work. now i realize that the way they've shifted their operations, the legal representation now has some local attorneys. that's a step forward. but i'm glad that you're doing an r.f.p. because what we need is a law firm for la

. >> yes, hello again, eric brooks. this time speaking on behalf of our city of san francisco and the san francisco green party. first, i would reiterate everything that miss lynch just said, and getting our input on the state level is crucial. we can't just let the cpuc doing thdoits own thing on this and we have to push the way that sfpuc pushes them on clean energy. this is one of the things that i work on. and i have been meeting with taxi drivers. and there are a lot of things that we might be able to do that should be included in this study. one of the problems that we face is out-of-town drivers. well, i believe that you may be able to put a fee out to-of-town drivers to make it so expensive for them to do that that they stop coming in. because that's one of the main problems. and another problem is the situation of uber being kind of the middle person or the middle entity on this, and collecting profits for now good reason. one thing that's new that should be included in this study is electronic currencies. we'r

>> yes, eric brooks again. good afternoon commissioners, speaking for -- i think i'll just speak for san francisco green party and our city san francisco. back in the day when all we were doing was cleanpowersf, it did make sense to give that money back to the city. commission fewer, you as a supervisor have been in on a hearing on public broad band which raises a lot of question about whether the direction we're going is the right direction, and we may need a study that probably would cost around $20,000 on public broad band in the near future to make sure we do it right and it's a true public internet system, not an internet system controlled by a corporation. and likewise, i'll highlight you again, commissioner fewer. you were at a hearing about bayview-hunters point and treasure island and the tock objectionic waste out there and how that impacts our facilities like transit and plumbing and electricity, etcetera. we may need to do a study on treasure island because that's -- treasure island and bayview-hunt

>> eric brooks. since you're in a hurry, i'll make this quick. it is vital that on your next agenda, and i've spokeno brian about this, this you take up legislation that is in sacramento so that we can make some decisions about it, particularly sb -- or ab 813, which unfortunately i recently discovered for some unknown crazy reason cal cc i supp ting and that does not make sense. a weoeed to have a discussion of this, and i can't highlight enough that loretta lynch who's a former kpafl public utilities commission president, i gave brian her -- california public utilities commission president, i gave brian her e-mail to get herrin put on why ab 813 is so drastically bad and we need to oppose it. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. is there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor fewer: madam clerk, is there any other business today? >> clerk: that concludes the business for today. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. the meeting is now adjourned. >> all right. so good morning, every

eric brooks, san francisco green party, our party san francisco, and californians for energy choice. so the -- this looks pretty good. it's a -- i think it's a nice, short presentation. one thing that, you know, on slide five, the projections of us getting to all renewable and greenhouse free looks really good, but now, i want to start pushing the envelope again as a climate crisis activist that -- that that actually is good, but it's not where we're going to need to be by 2030 if you look at transportation. so by 2035, not only do we need 100% of our building electricity to be renewable and greenhouse gas free, but we also need transportation to be the same. and that means that we're going to have to expand what the sfpuc's doing as far as public power goes and expand cleanpowersf so that it's producing enough -- these are producing enough electricity to power the entire transportation system in san francisco and replace all the buses that currently run on biodiesel, which is bogus and actually worse for the climate crisis. we need to change -- we need to be ready for that to happen

. >> eric: steffy fell? >> brooke: this morning. >> pam: oh, my gosh. is she all right? >> thorne: is the baby okay? faid cause to go into labor. >> quinn: labor already? >> pam: she's not due for weeks.

with me to discuss the policy, the protests, michael eric dyson who is the author of the new book "what truth sounds like." also joining me cornell brookssident and ceo of the naacp. thanks to both of you, great to see you both. >> good to see you. >> michael, you first because, you know, america has seen this before, whether it's the dehumanization of people or the power of protests. >> right. >> which one in this case really might most determine the outcome? >> well, i think that the common identification with people across ranges of ethnicity, of color, of sexuality that woman eloquently talking about hopelessness as a tool of tyranny is absolutely right. in cabal of tyrants about which she spoke. i think that it's incredibly important to understand that people are identifying with people because they understand we could be next. there is nobody who is safe or protected from the bigotry and from the resistance to humanity that this president has events and that people in his administration. it has trickled down so that they have been emboldened, not only people in his administration but people across this country who have seen a resu

this is a regime that takes no chances with its people, that brooks no dissent or even mildly questioning behavior. finish. eric. it says the government engages in, quote: killings, forced labor, torture, rape, forced abortions and other sexual violation. forced labor and mass mobilizations, reeducation through a labor example camps, etc., etc. many of the country's human rights abuses underwrite their regime's weapons program, and it continues by saying that includes the force labor and those mass mobilizations, reeducation at the labor camps and and overseas labor contracts. thousands of north koreans are sent abroad every year to work in slave-like conditions earning revenue for the regime. how do we address this? does the president raise this further, stronger in his conversation tomorrow with kim, or should it be raised on a lower level? you know, he says primarily the goal is dealing with nuclear weapons, but what should we do trying to change this behavior? >> right. well, this'll sound odd coming from the director of a human rights program, you know, at colby college, i direct the oak institute for huma
