coalition members include the san francisco labor council, jobs with justice, san francisco rising, the chinese progressive association, bright line defence , and faith in action. together, this coalition will convene around shared goals and principles of true economic fairness, including a just tax system and equitable revenue measures. the coalition will spend the next year developing a comprehensive strategy to address the root issues of economic inequality in our city, and finally, with this coalition , we will review and recommend changes to our tax code centred on economic fairness and equity, examine what true prosperity for all looks like, and what we need to get there and take comprehensive actions to do so. i want to thank the deputy city attorney for their work on this initiative. ted egan for developing the revenue projections, on and my colleagues for your support. i especially want to our shared prosperity partners who worked with us to develop this initiative and who are excited to work with us in the year ahead on a broader plan under address economic inequality. the san

in san francisco that we're aware of. earlier, companies from 2019 would not have made that deadline and would not have been covered. subsequent ones from companies such as slack and any future ones would be covered. it's also important to keep in mind that the tax-based compensation is a tax on the business. it's not a tax on the employees that receive the tax-based compensation. so on the uber i.p.o., we expect there'll be millions of dollars flowing into the oakland economy. this would increase the tax on uber as a result of the tax-based compensation -- stock-based compensation that they pay to plyys. stock-based compensation is largely associated with the tech companies, and it's believed this is to create incentives for employees to achieve growth goals for the companies morning cash-based wages and salary. so because of this reason, in san francisco, given our economy, it's likely that the bulk of the burden of this tax would fall on the tech sector. and because of that, i think it's worth considering some of the i

i am a member of the san francisco tobacco free coalition and proudly san francisco born and bred. when i began my work providing tobacco use prevention education throughout the bay area, including here in the city more than four years ago, i never would have predicted that i'd find myself in the front line, standing in halls and classrooms where thousands of youth that i speak to have fallen casualty to the deceptive tactics of jool and other e-cigarettes manufacturers to gain new customers. this is much more than an epidemic. we are at war. at war with companies who defend profits over the health of our most vulnerable populations, who have yet to set foot in the trenches of our schools and homes and assess the real damage that they've caused. e-cigarettes continue to go unregulated. companies use tactics to target youth and minorities that otherwise are illegal for tobacco companies. millions more are getting hooked, and cities like san francisco are paying over 300 million annually towards the economic cost of addiction. all the while, more and more research reveals the harmful

the work that we do is deeply rooted in san francisco, all of san francisco. we're considered thought leaders in the arts field, nationally, regionally and locally. we gave the national address to the state of utah's annual arts complex. i'm a committee member of apapa 2020, held in new york. it's the largest convening of arts producers in if the english -- in the english speaking world. we do this because we know from our work nationally that artists of color must not be marginalized. we must be made part of america's culture and identity so we can ultimately impact her psychology to embrace all of us who live her. 45, the number -- live here. 45, the number of artists that we've produced here. 1,000, the number of people this year including women in recovery, seniors who took classes, rehearsed or performed in our studio in the richmond district. 2021, the year we premier and tour a new work about san francisco commissioned by the hewlett and commissioned by the art fund. we pass forward her history, the people who guilbuilt and ft for this children. we are
