. >> her name was kiara. when kiara passed, i was up here in lockup. one of the lieutenants came up with my mom and she's like, "it's kiara." i'm like, "it's kiara?" i said, "what's wrong?" is she in the hospital?" she's like, "no, she's dead." i freaked out. they did everything they could to at least let me go to the hospital, but it was out of the prison's hands. it was upper staff management. and like i say, because i was up here and the status quo i was in, it didn't allow me to go to the wake, to the funeral, the viewing or even to the hospital. because at first her brain died. and they had her on a breathing machine, you know, just to see if they would let me go up there, but when they didn't let me go, you know. and my spirits kind of like dropped, you know, and i didn't eat. i lost a lot of weight. you know, and i looked like a raccoon. my eyes was, you know, all black and stuff. but then i thought about it. i said, you know, that's just another baby that god needed. but every day i look at those pictures of my daughter up there, and this is he

. >> public speaker: hello, i'm kiara babt with the club. it's a lot of work to be here at these meetings. i appreciate it. thank you for talking about the enernex report today. especially today i feel like i have learned so much and as things sound so much more possible as they did last night. i came here to ask you to move forward with setting the not to exceed rates and establishing a launch date by the end of summer and now i feel like it's a weak ask. it sounds like we can launch this year. let's do the light green and dark green. it sounds like you should just aim to launch this year and catch up with the rest of the bay area. it's kind of embarrassing at this point. >> thank you. are there any other members who would like to provide comment. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we are done with this item unless there is a requested action? >> jason fried, the one thing that lafco may want to do is accept the report so i can communicate it to them so there might be a month eggs to -- motion to

and also to thank the members of her committee kiara and jack. even if you are going to meetings are responding to e-mails, you are engaged helping to craft this event. finally, i have a true confession. i am on closeted c-span junkie. there it is. every office i have had since 1991 i have required a tv in the office. i turn it to c-span and that is where it states the whole day. often on mute. a little disconcerting to some of my visitors sometimes. but on a serious note, as you will see from my comments, i want to talk about how we can achieve real social change. and an important aspect of real change is an engaged citizenry and an engaged citizenry needs to have unfiltered information that comes to them. c-span is absolutely an important component of that in our democracy. ok. so the civil rights act of 1964. obviously, as you've heard and as you know, definitely a historic piece of legislation. it is as you heard yesterday as professor wilson and today from kiera bridges, it is not a fully transformational piece of legislation because it cann

you heard from kiara that the law would not protect her in terms of her cornrows. that's exactly what what the courts have decided that the eeoc filed a claim alleging that a draft code that said professional appearance means no dreadlocks no cornrows is the form of race discrimination. not only because it might be a marker of race but because for a non-african-american we don't have to do anything to our hair to have it be straight. and for many african-americans their hair will normally locked. that's what they are does. so having a code, a dressing code that says you must do something unnatural to your her in order to come work here is we say a form of race discrimination. also done work in terms of english only, contesting english only rules something that is often gotten the reaction from congress, as well as in terms of religion, the issues have changed since 1964. not so much that they say no jews, no muslims. it's about issues of dress code. and again we've been very active in that area. but for this talk i want to focus on gender equity. simply because one
