Dean Preston Weekly Update

  • This week, Mayor London Breed refused to commit to using Prop I funds for rent relief and social housing. This is clearly contrary to the will of both the voters and the Board of Supervisors. Reach out to Mayor Breed here so she knows exactly how we feel about her selfish neglect of the will of the voters.
  • Last Tuesday, Dean and Supervisor Matt Haney introduced a proposal that would appropriate $9.3 million in one-time funds to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to offset the costs of piloting free public transit for all, for three months. If approved by the Board of Supervisors, the program would begin July 1 and run through the end of September. This is a critical first step towards the free, socialized public transit that San Francisco deserves.
  • The Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development approved $2.7 million for immediate repairs at Plaza East following the organizing of Plaza East tenants and Dean’s announcement of an oversight hearing. While this is likely still not an adequate commitment, it is a strong move away from the initial demolition plan. If you’re interested in learning more and you want to show your support for the tenants of Plaza East, tune in to the Government Accountability and Oversight Committee hearing at 10 am on May 6.
  • Starting May 1, the SF Department of Public Health will provide a drop-in community vaccination site in the Fillmore for all neighborhood residents 16+. Thanks to all the community members who came together to make this happen!

Have an idea or want to schedule a meeting with your caucus or committee with Dean’s office? Write to PrestonStaff@sfgov.org or lexvonklark@gmail.com with details, mention you’re with DSA, and we’ll schedule a day!

The System Is Beyond Reform

Dear Comrades,

Within less than a year after the murder of George Floyd, countless others, including Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, Adam Toledo in Chicago, and Roger Allen in Daly City, were recently killed by police. These tragedies occurred during Derek Chauvin’s trial. Daunte Wright was killed just 11 miles away from where Floyd was murdered. Roger Allen was killed in Daly City, here in our own backyard. This cycle of violence is never-ending, and communities can rarely grieve the loss of one member before another gets shot by police.

No matter how the media portrays them, it is evident that this system has never “failed” — rather, it upholds white supremacy, systemic racism, and capitalism by design. 

That is why the system can never be reformed. 

There is no legal reform or policy change that will prevent police violence from happening if it doesn’t call for demilitarizing, defunding, and dismantling this very system that protects their interests over Black people and the working class. For example, the George Floyd Act, which was introduced on the House floor last summer, was supposed to ban racial profiling, overhaul qualified immunity, and ban using chokeholds. But what also happened was it gave more funding to various police departments, leading to more killings at the hands of police. 

Public safety cannot be delivered to the people through a system that, at its core, is designed to keep the status quo. Protestors have been demanding to defund the police and refund our communities because we know what keeps us safe: safe and accessible housing, worker protections, food, community infrastructure, and meaningful paths for self-determination as we work to dismantle the entire system of capitalism—not the police. We are committed to abolition, and we will continue to demand justice for all victims of police murder in San Francisco and across the country. As the Derek Chauvin trial reaches a verdict this week, the work must continue toward liberation for all.

In Solidarity,
Your DSA SF Steering Committee

Reminder: Trivia Night

The Chapter Coordinating Committee’s Community Team is hosting another trivia night tonight, April 20 at 6:00 p.m.! Hop on the DSA SF Discord server to play!

If you’re a member of DSA SF and not on Discord yet, email discord@dsasf.org to be added!

Today! Stop Budget Cuts to CCSF: Join SF Grey Panthers Meeting to Fight Back

Once again, CCSF is under attack. As former CCSF Chair of Labor & Community Studies Bill Shield explains, “for many years, the neoliberal, corporate agenda has included a fierce attack on public education at all levels… More recently, the school wreckers turned their guns on public higher education, including community colleges.” CCSF students, faculty, staff, their unions, and the community are fighting back to preserve CCSF as a community college. Find out what we can do to save it by joining here this afternoon, April 20th,from1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Tomorrow! Public Comment: Demand Permanent Housing, not Safe Sleeping Sites

District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman’s A Place for All legislation would require the City to provide each unhoused person a tent in a safe sleeping site. Tents are NOT permanent housing, and every dollar that goes toward these extremely expensive safe sleeping sites is a dollar spent on something that fails to get our unhoused neighbors into safe and stable housing. The SF Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee is meeting tomorrow, April 21, at 9:00 a.m. and A Place for All is on the agenda.

We need folks to call in and tell the committee that the City needs to put these hundreds of millions of dollars hard-won through the passage of Prop C in 2018 towards permanent supportive housing, not tents and further criminalization of homelessness. Our unhoused neighbors deserve pathways to stable housing, not another one of the City’s money-slick labyrinths designed to “solve” them by keeping them out of the sight of the housed. Dial-in info and instructions below – feel free to email homelessness@dsasf.org if you have any questions!

Instructions: 

  • Dial (415) 655-0001. Enter the Access Code (187 355 1611) then press ‘#’.
  • Press # again to join the meeting as a participant. You will hear a beep when you have entered the meeting.
  • When you hear the beep: stop and listen. Wait for Public Comment for the A Place for All item to be announced.
  • When the Clerk calls Public Comment, dial * 3 to be added to the speaker line. You will hear ‘You have raised your hand to ask a question. Please wait to speak until the host calls on you.’ Wait for your turn to speak.
  • When you hear ‘Your line has been unmuted,’ this is your opportunity to make your public comment after the beep. Tell the Committee that these hundreds of millions of dollars cannot be spent on a system that would hustle our unhoused neighbors from site to site and that they need to take this historic opportunity to use money from Prop C on stable housing for all!

This Thursday! People’s Earth Day Rally

Join the Ecosocialist Committee and other environmental advocates this Thursday, April 22, at 12:00 p.m. at City Hall and demand Mayor Breed and the Board of Supervisors to:

  • Declare a MORATORIUM on Lennar’s Shipyard development and unsafe soil excavation!
  • Declare a PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY!
  • Conduct full retesting, safe cleanup & removal of all radioactive and toxic waste at the Shipyard Superfund Site and Treasure Island!

This Week on SFIJ

Hi there, comrades!

We think the following pieces of news from the San Francisco Independent Journal (SFIJ) may be of interest to you:

?First, hundreds of peaceful protestors gathered for a vigil and march last Thursday, organized by Defund SFPD Now, on the steps of Mission High School for Roger Allen, Adam Toledo, and Daunte Wright, all of whom were murdered by police.

?Second, we recently had the pleasure to talk with long-time socialist and DSA member Tom Gallagher, who has been involved in local progressive politics and continues to advocate for issues such as foreign policy.

?Finally, the San Francisco Board of supervisors voted to support Assembly Bill 20 (AB20), which would add California to the list of states that bar business entities from directly contributing to political campaigns.

If you have committee work or another story you want to be publicized by a friendly outlet, please submit tips to writing@dsasf.org.
