Today we celebrated the life of Marlena - a beloved queer community leader, performer, and the 25th Empress of the San Francisco Imperial Court.
They owned and operated Marlena's bar in Hayes Valley and passed away last month. But their legacy lives on in the neighborhood.

We hosted our monthly coffee chat today in the Fillmore, meeting residents, small business owners, and workers in the neighborhood.
We discussed a range of concerns from noise pollution to window replacement laws, small business permitting to supporting our seniors amidst the federal shutdown.

The site of 111 Taylor was originally the site of the Trans resistance movement.
Now its a halfway house that members of the community have expressed deep concerns about health, safety and civil rights. So we launched a hearing to call the operator - Geo Group - before the Board of Supervisors.

So great to meet residents in Lower Haight to discuss the Family Zoning Ordinance today.
In Lower Haight, base heights allowed for development are remaining the same, while higher heights already permitted by the State will be allowed in exchange for additional funding for affordable housing.

Democrats win when they focus on issues that matter to people: Housing affordability, food insecurity, and safe streets.
People want solutions but the establishment isn't delivering.
The new wave of Democrats is bringing back hope and I’m excited to be a part of it.

Our Sanctuary City Ordinance has led the way for decades and today I Introduced legislation to make it abundantly clear: our Sanctuary protections apply to any federal agency doing civil immigration enforcement.

I didn’t get a tour of ICE HQ but what I what I witnessed was disturbing.
Immigrants are caught in a Catch 22: they can show up to court and risk being detained and deported for following the law, or not show up, risking an “absentia” order, and face deportation anyway.

Our streets are getting safer! This morning, I had the honor of cutting the ribbon on a new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at the Fulton St. and Clayton St. intersection as part of a citywide effort led by SFMTA and funded by SFCTA to install these beacons across the city.

Today I joined Compass Family Services for a safety walk that started in the TL and ended at a Halloween pumpkin patch for children right here in front of City Hall!
All children deserve to have a fun and safe childhood. Thank you to everyone who brought this festive slice of joy to our community!
