a lot of people have spoken about harvey milk's legacy and he was killed and the person who became the board of supervisors. it is not any gamin elected -- any gay man in that position. we need a progressive woman of colour or man who represents the communities and most vulnerable first. i support most of the candidates on the league of the voters suggestions list. i think there was one white man. that is probably not the most important person to promote at this moment, i think it is important for us to support a woman of colour. with all due respect i respect london. i am proud to have london as my mayor right now. i absolutely think that we are at a critical moment to bring people of colour back to the city and bring our communities back and we need to have people advocate for them not tied to ron conway. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening again, supervisors and president breed. i am lisa aubry. district five resident of many year also. i support an interim mayor not running for the office of mayor in june of 2018. i feel it is very, very important that we

it is on principle, considering that in 1978, when unfortunately we lost a mayor and supervisor harvey milk, madame finestein was president of this board, there was no debate, there was no quibble, she immediately rose to the position of mayor of city of san francisco until the election was held and the people spoke. that's democracy. that's what the charter says. but all of a sudden, we're going to change the rules in the middle of the game, i have to tell you it's not fair, something is rotten in denmark and we need to make sure that we have fairness and justice. we are pushed out of this town -- >> thank you. >> -- since 1970s and still -- if you want to do the right thing, the fair thing, the principled thing, let that person who sits in that seat continue until the election is held and the people speak. >> thank you, reverend brown. thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. supervisors, thank you for the opportunity to address you, debbie, i'm a resident of district 8. i'm here to say that i hope that you prioritize the stability of our city in your vote today. and i would say that

in 1978 when masconi was assassinated along with harvey milk, dianne feinstein was the president of the of supervisors and she became the acting mayor and then ultimately mayor. that's the way it is and that's the way it should be. >> mayor, some people have mentioned your name as a caretaker mayor. we saw polls that said it was a popular decision but you said no way. right? >> absolutely. i would not even consider it. i believe that the young people, the new people in the world of politics are the ones we ought to have our focus on. and i particularly believe that this is the year of the woman. with all of the things that have gone on over the last several months involving women and the clear demonstration of how they're not treated equally and we all participate in not treating them equally, this is the opportunity for san francisco to say, yes to a woman. there are three obviously qualified women with london breed in my opinion being the best of the three. we have a chance to do it and make history for san francisco. >> let me ask you a question outside of san francisco. you bring up

lived in the days since harvey milk and others were members of the board of supervisors and advocacy goes back further. becky joined the sierra club in 1969, during the save the bay campaign, created the bay conservation commission, and echoes reemerge over the next many decades, including my first term on the board of supervisors 17 years ago. she was hired in 1972 as one of the sierra club bay chapters first full-time employees and moved on to serve with the national sierra club in 1974, she opened and managed the sierra club information center and served there until 1987. in 1974, she joined the citizens committee, working on the special area plan for san francisco's waterfront, in 1976, served on a planning advisory committee on the plan for the northeastern waterfront, which of course ultimately led to her advocacy around proposition b a couple of years ago. and of course, today is the day that that lawsuit is finally being heard in our superior court. since the end of her term with the sierra club, becky served on san francisco environment commission from 1996 to 2003, vice cha

to recreate that in a spot and then when senator mark leno dedicated it, he said harvey milk would be so proud of our stories. sorry. i made myself cry. the other thing we're asking for again, a plaque. and we're just thrilled that the e.i.r. recognizes the historic significance of this place. and so a plaque, and we will help the developer write a check. we'll take care of everything. make this as easy as possible. also, the john goldsmith, who runs the pink triangle park is not here. but he's asked that when the rubble of the bricks has dug up, that that be donated to the park and he will come pick it up. all he needs a schedule and he will use that rubble to build the concrete berms that protect -- it is a little triangle park on 17th street. and any of the bricks that aren't broken up, he will make pavers. so, the three things we're asking are a plaque, basic to move the yellow brick road and then house a place for that history to be. and then the actual bricks themselves will remain in the castro. those are the three things we're asking. i don't know if you got our packet, but i
