in terms of women at the forefront. it wasn't as if when you think about the large on washington, you think of traditionally the big six leaders, you think of a. phillip randolph, martin luther king, the urban league, naacp, but on that day, the only women present were dr. dorothy hite and mahalia jackson. women had been involved in every step in the movement and that day would not have occurred beginning in its planning all the way to 1963 without women involved in the planning. but they weren't allowed to speak on the day. baltimore didn't have that same issue. baltimore and maryland are an exception. women were not only -- even that first letter that we heard when they were talking about how they were going to plan the naacp membership drive and asking specifically for a female secretary. well, that's generally where often these major national organizations wanted women to remain as a secretary, as a person pouring the coffee, person doing the leg work to organize the members. but not the person before the public fore

technical issues which are really important, but i think it is valuable for san francisco to be in the forefront of recognizing the dimensions of this movement of community activists who are using the competitive power of business to create benefits for community. benefit accrues to the community, not the business. this has been building for 20 years and there are hundreds of companies that now have the opportunity to protect their social mission. we donate 100% of our profits serving customers like san francisco and also serve the people of san francisco, so this is an opportunity to be one of the first to identify that something has happened in the community to cause people to connect the power of business. there is very little cost to the community. 4% is the maximum and we would have to bid for% more than staples on the office supply business which was due yesterday. that would be very unlikely for us to do. i strongly recommend the city and county be first to recognize the importance of this social movement. >> thank you. are there other members of the public who wish to speak on this item?
