After weeks of blight under the Webster and Geary bridge, the area is looking much cleaned. Thanks to quick communication from the community, my office helped coordinate multiple city teams to resolve the issue.

"Did you know Luke Skywalker was a member of the disabled community?"

I remember those words from Alice Wong the first time we met as I gave her a commendation at the Board of Supervisors.

When we listen to community, real change happens.

For the first time, the Tenderloin will have its own Youth Violence Prevention Program, and here's how it works.

Yesterday was the second Fillmore Community Action Plan community gathering, a meeting to co-create an investment blueprint for the future of the neighborhood.

But the Fillmore deserves action today, too, so we shared four recent milestones from the City...

There are more than 3,500 children and youth living in the Tenderloin who face unsafe streets, drug activity, overdoses, and violence. For too long, they’ve been invisible in conversations about this neighborhood, but today, we’re changing that.

Thank you Pacific Heights Residents Association for inviting me to your annual meeting.

I shared our office's focus on investing in both joy & safety across D5, with a focus on improving traffic and pedestrian safety in the neighborhood considering the high number of seniors in the community.

We’re making progress in the Fillmore. Today, the city received an application to create 1,800 homes and a grocery store on the former Safeway site — an important first step in the right direction.

Was an honor to celebrate Veterans Day at Glide today, while honoring veteran Malik Washington who has channeled his service into years of advocacy for food justice and veteran support programs.

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.

In San Francisco, we believe in justice —this was an important first step towards accountability and fairness.

Your leadership has defined a generation of politics and inspired countless others to serve.

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.

Proposition 50 passes. By a landslide.

And in San Francisco, we led the way.

Ahead of Veterans’ Day, today we honored Mr. Douglas Jenkins, a proud Veteran and a lifelong advocate whose service has strengthened not only our country but the very heart of the Fillmore and neighborhoods across the city for over forty years.

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.
