and i think we have to reflect on what it is we ask these young men and young women to do. all of us bring up our children with a set of principles where we ask them to learn, and among these principles certainly in each case would be two. one would be to avoid situations that are dangerous. don't put yourself at risk. and the other is don't harm other people. they're personal, they're moral, their spiritual, there are legal strictures against harming other people. then these 18 and 19-year-olds we put into the armed forces we say, well, you have to forget these two rules. you have to be prepared to put yourself at risk and do it quite regularly, and you have to be prepared to harm other people. and then they come home, and we say forget, go back to the old lessons and forgetting these things is very, very difficult. one does not forget easily. i followed the account of a young man who had been kill inside korea, and i think it sort of summarizes the human face of war as well -- and this could be repeated in the any number of wars. late in the afternoon of july 5, 1950, a y

men and young women do. i think that we are fighting defensive wars against unclear enemies. and this is not what the american military is best trained to do. in the play that was on broadway last year called three jacks in iraq, there was a line one soldier so frustrated said we're the only ones in uniform, you know? how do we know who it is to fight? we are the only ones in uniform. last summer when i was visiting the bethesda hospital, it was following this spring and summer battles and marines were involved with over in afghanistan, and in late july 1 day when i was there, there were 45 in the ward that were suffering from combat related injuries. one of them had been injured by a mortar round. three of them had been injured by gunshot wounds. in each case from sniper file -- sniper fire someplace. and 41 had been injured by explosives. none of these people saw the person who detonated the explosive, that injured them. it's a different sort of war. it's a defensive sort of war. last 10 days ago as down a

and those young people left their wills behind. and they had strategies, and the freedom riders were really trying to get the attention of the federal government to get these states to uphold the law, which went back to the boynton decision. you guys may remember that. the book. but there had been decisions going back to the '40s that ruled out segregation on interstate commerce. but there was still segregation on the buses. the blacks still had the back seat. the freedom rides were aimed at forcing the federal government, not to create anything new, but to enforce the law. and it took these young people, fearless and ready to die, in order to get the attention of the federal government. and even once they did, i mean, there were little -- you can read about it in my book -- no, but it's true. because i did research that i didn't even know in order to explain the role of young people in making america live up to its promise of equality for all. and we talk about martin luther king. martin luther king didn't start the movement. he w

lady or a young man in their home, what do they need to know? how do they... what signs do they need to look for? that is a really good question, and i think all of the parents who are out there viewing this program are wondering, "what can i do to increase the likelihood that my kids don't end up with problems that lead to suicide, depression, or substance use?" i think the most important thing, first of all, is to just be a really good parent and listen. and then, secondly, educate yourself and learn about these things, learn about community resources and work together with other parents, particularly in your schools and your communities, to make sure that all of your kids together are getting what they need to grow up to be healthy and avoid problem behaviors. and when things do surface, i think it is really important for parents not to necessarily blame themselves, but definitely proactively get the kind of support they need, both for themselves and their children, to increase the likelihood that little problems won't turn into great big pro

it is not just young women. it is young men. a greater population of the people coming to planned parenthood are young men. they're taking on these issues as well. these issues -- these are issues of human rights, not just one gender or another. i think it is exciting. i just want to know how many people can you bring. i'm old-fashioned organizer. who will stand up at the end of the day and make a difference? in the affordable care act yesterday, the supporters of the affordable care act out number the opponents in front of the supreme court 5-1. [applause] and a lot of them were young people who got access to planned parenthood or women's health care issues over the last year. i just think there has never been a better opportunity and there has been -- and there has never been a greater need to stand up for your generation and demand the right to ask for health care information and the services that will help you live your life. so that is my charge to you, ok? are you up for it? [laughter] >> i have had the privilege of workin

and these young people did it. and that is a great, great moment in american democ-- i think it's the best moment in american democracy since the end of world war ii. (paulson) if we could go back to the very beginning, you told their story extraordinarily well in a book called the children. and it is a large volume. and yet on day one of covering their story, you probably wrote a 22-inch story, whatever occurred that day that initiated your coverage. did you have any sense on day one that they would make history? i think i knew something was happening. i think watching these young people protest, how well-organized they were, how extraordinarily disciplined they were, the elegance of them, the body language-- we didn't talk "body language" then, but they were erect, their posture. they were extraordinarily well-dressed. i had a sense that something powerful had happened and that they would come back from-- i didn't know the depth of it. i didn't know how well-trained they were. i didn't know who the reverend james

clerk young: item number three, the policy and budget priorities for the fiscal year 2012 to 2013 and for 2013 to 2014. chairman chu: thank you very much. this item is brought to us by a number of sponsors. we cannot have more than five individuals from the board of supervisors here at any given time, so we will have to swap out. i think supervisor winer -- weiner will be swapping out. when you like to say a few words -- supervisor wiener will be swapping out. would you like to say a few words? supervisor wiener: since she is my appointee, i would like to stay for that, and then we can swap out after that. i joined president chu and supervisor kim because we want to have the opportunity to formally present to the budget committee the priorities for the fiscal year. i think we are all committed to supporting our youth in the city, including in the budget process, and they have many needs, so w want to engage in a dialogue, and when i do leave here, i will be watching on tv, so i will hear everything that is going on. thank you. chairman chu: thank you, supervisor wiener. i believe ther

thanks for helping include young people in our city. supervisor chu: thank you. >> i am a mayoral appointee and also the chair of youth city services. our priority, no. 7, is implementing 2007 pay recommendations. san francisco, there are approximately 5700 homeless and most are used between the ages of 20 and 24. 6000 lack a high school diploma. 5000 neither work or go to school. not only does the population represents the future adults but also the current generation of voters. then-mayor gavin nissen -- newsome proposed [unintelligible] the youth task force issued a report containing 16 recommendations. they include involving disconnected youth in municipal decision making and expanding operations for tay, creating individualized plans for disconnected youth. transitioning to adulthood, providing safe and stable housing and more. some departments have responded remarkably such as the mayor's office of housing which convened the working -- housing workgroup. the city needs to improve its relationship with tay. san francisco is falling

king, whitney young, john lewis, julian bond were all young men when they were at the forefront of thet and i think we need young people not only doing that, but keeping pressure, keeping people grounded and keeping us all focused on a future. we do need i think a new resurgence among young people. >> that creates different parts of accountability as well. living in the 24-hour news cycle, stuff that used to get swept under the rug isn't getting swept under the rug anymore. you have tmz, cnn, every other network that's focused on it, but you have to leverage that and join the young people. that's why i pay attention to the hip-hop generation, because they have the men involved. on the other hand, at least having an imagination to reaching out to the young people. what dr. king, when he talked about the war in vietnam, he said i'm not speaking out against the war in vietnam unless i speak about the violence against the young people. >> the critical point of how you opened up is it a moment or a movement and the movement has to have direction. and so the critical point in this trayvon ma

when young people speak up, people do listen. we don't have to be tol told--constantly young people are being told we have to wait until we're old for have an influence, and we shouldn't speak now. we have to get degrees. we have to see the world, and then we'll understand. but i think it shows as we can all probably attest that when we do speak up, when we do ask people are listening, people are listening, and it makes an influence. >> your point the u.s. not being in leadership this weekend. the "washington post" wrote an editorial and said that the u.s. was delinquent in leading the world on energy. that was on the editorial page echoing those concerns. let's talk about food. food is an issue you've all been involved in, and something that you can all relate to and connect with. tonya, let's talk first with you on how you grabbed on to food to connect with the environment with those in your personal life and around you. >> when i started community activism, i started with the refinery. i was doing advocacy. i soon found out th

we talked with some young voters. and iso a marine corps veteran working toward an engineering degree. my biggest influence would be my mother. i cannot remember how long she sat there, watched the news. >> -- host: she talked about her biggest political influence. who is your biggest political influence? guest: that is a great question. probably my parents. as long as i can remember, they have encouraged me to stand up for what i believe in, do what i believe to be right, and have supported me in all the various decisions i have made in my life, including the work that i do, but the number one indicator of whether someone is going to register to vote is if their parents did. good work to all the parents out there. take your kids to the polling booth. teach them about the process. for those communities that do not have the opportunity, we will make sure we are in those classrooms teaching your students as well. host: teach your children and know they love you. heather smith, thank you so much for being on the "washing

we have to reflect what we ask these young bet and women to do. one is to avoid a debt situation is better dangerous and the american is don't harm other people. their spiritual and religious ends to assure against harming other people and these 18 and 19 year-old's we say forget the two rules and put yourself at risk revealing the and we prepared to harm other people. then they come home and we say forget the use. one does not forget easily. to summarize the human face of war late in the afternoon 1951 soldier huddled in a foxhole. his unit to had just arrived reassigned from their duty in japan. when the bazooka team fired they opened with a machine gun and the man why is this shot dead. the men took his body. you was the first announced servicemen killed in the korean war. of front-line correspondent from world were to and leaving the tokyo office to go with the troops. this dead soldier had a look of surprise on his face "the prospect of death seemed assets in real to the private as the war seemed to be. he was the long bandied this build made

they took away a young boy is prized possession. later on as a member of congress, a generous person hurt the story and offered him an autograph- aaronbat -- hank aaron bat. as a member of congress, you are not allowed to except his worth more than $200, so the government took away his bat again. we cannot replace what was taken away from the young boy, but we do give him something we hope will take its place just a small bit. ladies and gentlemen, i present to you the first ever recipient of the life achievement award for services rendered to the asian-american community and services rendered to our nation. i give to you, secretary mineta. [applause] >> i cannot think of a more appropriate gift tonight than to recede this -- receive this bat. i want to thank everyone for co hosting this event tonight. all of us who have had the privilege of serving in public service have gotten to that point because we were standing on the shoulders of those who preceded us, and i want everybody here, young people, to remember that whatever they do

this campaign has been driven by young people. the justice aspect is that we are seeing young people speak up about their needs to make transit accessible for them and their families. the transportation side of it, aside from the needs of the campaign, we see young people at the table now with sfpuc and sfmta. it will be a two-year pilot and we are hearing many students, many in middle school and high school, how they want a program to work. we have been working to design an education and outreach component. the education component is ready to kick off. surveys have been done with high school students and middle school students to understand the relationship with public transit, their needs, and hal muni can work for this demographic of young people. additionally, about which campaigns are being talked about by young people. they are asking, how can we let more young people know about this program? this is something that will build that sense of lifelong ridership that the ta cares about for the next generation of writers. >> than

so we have young women coming into the military.l-girl catholic school. she wasn't as wise in the ways of that type of military culture. so there's so much we can do on the front end as well that i think should be preventive, and we stopped having these very uncomfortable discussions with our children in our culture. i think in some ways we still carry that on. and with respect to the higher reporting rates, we want to see that. we want to see more people feeling comfortable and confident enough to come forward knowing that they're going to be taken care of and that transferser of the to when they get out and come home. when they feel they can't openly talk about things, they're not going receive the care and treatment they need, all of that stuff spirals down into the suicide rate. >> so from recruits to soldiers to veterans, making sure we're taking care of at every point. genevieve, kayla, salamishah, and kim, thank you all so much for being here. and coming up, i'll introduce you to one man's story you're probably going to hear

what message is being sent to our young people by the new voter i.d. laws because it wasn't something i had election. i have a 19-year-old daughter who is a rising junior at howard university. and as fathers of daughters know, sometimes they will come to you and say very prophetic things. after watching the news -- after watching the news coverage of the assault of the -- of the assault on women's rights and female reproductive rights and the assault on voter i.d. -- and the assault on voter rights my daughter came into me and she said something that i did not expect her to say. she said, dad, it seems to me like we won the battle but someone wants to make sure that we lose the war. and that is the message that's being sent to our young people with these new voter i.d. laws. we won the battle with the passage of all the civil rights act and voting rights acts. we won the battle every year every time we get the voting rights act funded and reauthorized. however, someone sat back after 2008 where there were 5 million new voters registered. 4 million of w

these programs serve approximately 3800 young people. one thing we want to emphasize is we asked all of our summer programs to have at least eight hours of programming per day, five days a week, with a goal of helping working families. of course, the types of programs -- the services range from academic support to enrichment to cultural experiences and physical activities, and just general explorations to keep our young people engaged during the summer. last year and this coming year, this coming summer, dcyf provided funding to augment the summer school program, specifically for secondary students. in addition to all our other programs, we are continuing that partnership with sfusd to serve kids at risk of not moving ahead. the one thing that is unique about this is that we are blending the academic components of the summer school day with more in richmond components of what our after-school providers -- enrichment components of what our after-school providers bring. we learned of a pilot initiative in the bayview, and want to expand th
