SB RELATIVE TO FOSTER YOUTH
AWARENESS MONTH. GO AHEAD. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. I RISE TODAY TO
PRESENT THE SENATE CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION SIXTY FIVE WHICH
DECLARES MAY TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
THREE AS FOSTER YOUTH AWARENESS
MONTH. IN MY LIFE BEFORE BEING
AN ELECTED OFFICIAL I WORKED FOR
MANY YEARS ON ISSUES OF CHILD
WELFARE PARTICULARLY FOSTER CARE
. AND PROGRAMS FOR TRANSITION
AGE FOSTER YOUTH SERVICES
PARTICULARLY MEANING FOR ME
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THIS
OPPORTUNITY MEMBERS NEARLY ONE
HUNDRED TIMES A DAY A CHILD IS
PLACED IN FOSTER CARE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. WE HAVE OVER SIXTY
THOUSAND CHILDREN IN OUR FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM. THEY ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY FROM BLACK
BROWN AND NATIVE FAMILIES IN
EVERY CORNER OF OUR STATE THERE
ARE COUNTLESS FOSTER YOUTH WHO
ARE GROWING UP IN LOVING
WONDERFUL HOMES BUT THERE ARE
ALSO FOSTER YOUTH UNFORTUNATELY
GROWING UP IN EXTREMELY
TRAUMATIZING SITUATIONS. HALF OF
ALL CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE HAVE
ENTERED FOUR OR MORE ADVERSE
CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES OF ABUSE
NEGLECT OR ABANDONMENT. IT IS
DISHEARTENING TO SEE THAT
CHILDREN FROM MARGINALISED
COMMUNITIES CHILDREN OF COLOR
LGBTQ PLUS YOUTH AND THOSE WITH
DISABILITIES ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY REPRESENTED
AMONGST THE RANKS OF FOSTER
CARE. PARTICIPANTS MANY OF US
MANY OF YOU HERE IN THIS CHAMBER
AND IN THE ASSEMBLY HAVE PUT
FORTH IMPORTANT LEGISLATION TO
ADDRESS PROBLEMS IN THE FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM. I THANK MY MANY
COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR PASSION AND
DEDICATION TO SOLVING THESE
ISSUES. SOME OF YOU HAVE
DEDICATED WHOLE CAREERS TO
HELPING THIS POPULATION. WE MUST
CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THE
PERSISTENT ISSUES WITHIN THE
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. ONE OF THOSE
MOST PRESSING CONCERNS IS THE
HIGH TURNOVER OF CARE PLACEMENTS
. MANY FOSTER CHILDREN
EXPERIENCE MOVING EXCESSIVELY
THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES
DISRUPTING THEIR STABILITY THEIR
EDUCATION AND LEADING TO
EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL
CHALLENGES. WE MUST CONTINUE TO
STRIVE FOR A SYSTEM THAT
PRIORITISES OUR USE WELL BEING
AND THEIR LONG TERM STABILITY.
ANOTHER CRITICAL ISSUE IS THE
LACK OF ADEQUATE SUPPORT FOR
OLDER FOSTER YOUTH WHO ARE
TRANSITIONING INTO ADULTHOOD.
THE EXPERIENCES OF INSTABILITY
LEAD TO POOR EDUCATIONAL
OUTCOMES IN CALIFORNIA 93% OF
FOSTER YOUTH IN HIGH SCHOOL SAY
THEY WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND
COLLEGE. BUT ONLY 4% OF FORMER
FOSTER YOUTH WILL ACTUALLY HAVE
THAT OPPORTUNITY. IT IS VITAL
THAT WE ENSURE FOSTER YOU'D HAVE
ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION. THE
EMOTIONAL TOLL OF THE
EXPERIENCES. OF LEAVING YOUR
HOME AND BEING RAISED IN THE
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM CREATED NEED
TO PRIORITIZE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICE INTERVENTION AND TO HELP
OUR YOUTH HE'LL AND BUILD THEIR
RESILIENCE. WE MUST REMAIN
COMMITTED TO INCREASING
AWARENESS ABOUT THE CHALLENGES
FACING OUR YOUTH. COLLEAGUES
PLEASE JOIN ME IN DESIGNATING

BETTER SECRETARY PLEASE READ
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
SIXTY EIGHT BY SENATOR PER DIEM
RELATIVE TO GM ONE GANGLIOSIDES
DOES THIS AWARENESS DAY. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT I RISE TODAY TO
PRESENT SENATE CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION SIXTY EIGHT. WHICH
DECLARES MAY TWENTY THIRD TWENTY
TWENTY THREE AS GM ONE THING
WE'LL CITIZENS DAY. COLLEAGUES
JIM ONE DURING THE INCIDENCES IS
A RARE INHERITED GENETIC
DISORDER. THAT PRIMARILY AFFECTS
CHILDREN. IT IS DEVASTATING
DISORDER. WITH MANY DEBILITATING
RAMIFICATIONS INCLUDING
DEVELOPMENTAL REGRESSION
MOBILITY DETERIORATION SEIZURES
VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. AND NEURO
DEGENERATION. GM ONE IS A
PROGRESSIVE DISORDER RESULTING
IN IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE. THE
LONGER SOMEONE IS AFFECTED AND
UNFORTUNATELY OVER 50% OF THOSE
IMPACTED DIE BEFORE THEIR FIFTH
BIRTHDAY. AS SUCH EARLY
DIAGNOSIS IS CRITICAL TO MANAGE
SYMPTOMS VIA MEDICATIONS
PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL
THERAPY AND PALLIATIVE CARE. THE
FASTER DIAGNOSIS CAN BE MADE THE
SOONER A PATIENT CAN WORK TO
LIMIT THE DAMAGE WITH THERAPIES
MEDICATION CLINICAL TRIALS WHICH
MAY SLOW THE DISEASE PROGRESSION
OR HELP WITH SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER
WHILE RESEARCH INTO ENZYME
REPLACEMENT THERAPY GENE THERAPY
AND OTHER POSSIBLE TREATMENTS
ARE ONGOING. THERE ARE STILL NO
APPROVED TREATMENTS FOR GM ONE.
IT IS THAT LACK OF STANDARDIZED
AND SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN
TREATMENT FOR GM ONE THAT MAKES
EVERY DIAGNOSIS SO MUCH MORE
IMPORTANT. UNFORTUNATELY THE
DISEASE IS STILL NOT YET VERY
WELL KNOWN BECAUSE OF THIS IT
TAKES AN AVERAGE OF FOUR YEARS
FOR MOST FAMILIES TO GET A
DIAGNOSIS WHICH IS FAR TOO LONG
AND OFTEN TOO LATE. THE LACK OF
AWARENESS REGARDING GM ONE MEANS
THAT IT GOES SEVERELY UNDER
DIAGNOSED AND MISDIAGNOSED WHICH
CONTRIBUTES TO DIFFICULTIES IN
ASSESSING SPECIALIZED SERVICES
AND PROPER REHABILITATION AND
SUPPORT. THE MORE WE CAN EDUCATE
PEOPLE THE BETTER CHANCE WE HAVE
TO FIND TREATMENTS. THAT CAN
HELP IMPROVE LIVES AND
ULTIMATELY SAVE LIVES.
COLLEAGUES THIS IS SOMETHING WE
NEED TO LIFT UP ON THIS FLOOR IN
THE STATE IN OUR SOCIETY TO MAKE
MORE PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS
DEVASTATING DISEASE. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU ANY OTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. C. NONE

OBJECTION. C. NONE THE EYES ARE

EGGMAN RELATIVE TO HARVEY MILK
DAY. SERUM THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MR PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS I RISE
TODAY- ON THE PRESENT SR TWENTY
SIX HARVEY MILK DAY WE ANNUALLY
LIKE TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY
TO REMEMBER- THE WORK OF THAT
LEADER WHO WAS THE FIRST PERSON
ABLE TO RUN AS AN OUT PERSON AND
BE ELECTED TO THE SAN FRANCISCO
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS- HE RAN A
COUPLE TIMES LIKE SOME OF US DO
RIGHT CONTINUE TO RAISE THAT
AWARENESS OF NOT BEING SILENCED
OF NOT SITTING IN THE
BACKGROUND. I THINK MANY OF US
HAVE THAT SAME EXPERIENCE
THINKING WHY AM I WAITING FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE TO COME AND SAVE
THE DAY IF NOT ME NOT ME THEN
THEN WHO AND THEN WHO WILL WHO
WILL TAKE THAT PATH SO HE RAN-
MADE WAVES ALL ACROSS AND
CONTINUES. TO SERVE AS A SYMBOL
FOR ALL OF US I HOPE MANY OF YOU
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE
MOVIE- I AND I THINK OF THE
WORDS THAT HE SPOKE. WAS ABOUT
THE IDEA OF GIVING PEOPLE HOPE
THAT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE
PEOPLE SOMETHING AS ELECTED
OFFICIALS IT'S NOT ENOUGH JUST
TO. TO DO THE POLICY IN
EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO BE
ABLE TO BE A SYMBOL TO GIVE
PEOPLE HOPE TO BELIEVE IN THEIR
GOVERNMENT TO BELIEVE IN. A
DEMOCRACY- ENFORCING AS
EVERYBODY KNOW HE WAS BRUTALLY.
MURDERED ASSASSINATED SITTING IN
HIS DESK CHAIR IN SAN FRANCISCO
CITY HALL- AND THE- THE MURDERER
WAS TRIED ON MANSLAUGHTER. AS
YOU KNOW AND THEN WAS RELEASED
SO EVERY YEAR WE CELEBRATE HIS
BIRTHDAY TO HER DOT FORGET THE
WORK THAT HE DOES HE DID. THE
BLAZE THE TRAIL THAT HE BLAZE
THAT LED MANY OF THE REST OF US
TO THINK IF HE CAN DO WHAT I CAN
TO- AND NOW WE HAVE A RECORD
NUMBER OF LGBT MEMBERS. ACROSS
THE COUNTRY WHO CONTINUE TO RISE
AND REPRESENT- AND MAKE PEOPLE
KNOW ALSO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE
TO GO TO A BIG METROPOLITAN
CITY. TO BE OUT TO BE GAY THAT'S
WHERE IT STARTED BUT THERE ARE
MANY OF US ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND THE NATION AND OUR
STATE AS WELL. AND AS WE
CONTINUE TO SEE. THE BACKLASH
AGAINST OUR COMMUNITY AS IT'S
BECOME- FAIR GAME TO USE THE
LGBTQ. COMMUNITY AS A PUNCHING
BAG AGAIN AND IS A SOME OF WHAT
IS WRONG. BUT WE ALWAYS WANT TO
STAND ON WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT
IS JUST. NOT THAT THERE IS A
PLACE FOR ALL OF US IN OUR
ELECTED OFFICE. SHOULD BE THE
SYMBOL OF THAT BUT SOMETHING
THAT EVERYBODY EVERY AMERICAN
CAN DO. WHEN I RAN FOR THE
COMPANY CITY COUNCIL THE FIRST
TIME. THE QUESTION PEOPLE ASK IS
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AND MY
QUESTION BACK THEN WAS WHITE WHY
ARE YOU. WHY ARE WE ALL. OUR
GOVERNMENT AND OUR DEMOCRACY
THEN WE ALL HAVE THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE A ROLE IN
THAT- SO FOR HARVEY MILK'S
BIRTHDAY AND IN HONOR OF HIS
MEMORY. IN IN IN. IN STILL
RECOILING FROM THAT HORRIBLE
ASSASSINATION. THAT TOOK PLACE
AT STUNDEN ATION AND CAUSED
RIOTS AFTER. WE WRITE TODAY TO
ASK FOR SUPPORT. OF SR TWENTY
SIX REMEMBERING HARVEY MILK AND
WHAT HE STOOD FOR. LET'S GIVE
THEM HOPE. THANK YOU IS THERE
WINNER. I THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT- I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
SR TWENTY SIX- AS A GAY MAN- AS
REPRESENTATIVE OF. SAN
FRANCISCO- AS OF THE PERSON WHO
HELD- THE SUPERVISOR'S SEAT AT
HARVEY MILK I PREVIOUSLY HELD-
NEARLY FIFTY YEARS AGO BEFORE HE
WAS ASSASSINATED- BECAUSE OF WHO
HE WAS- I ALSO. I RISE AS- A
VERY PROUD CALIFORNIA AND- AS- A
RESIDENT OF THE STATE- THAT
EYES- WE SEE A TIDAL WAVE OF HE
DIRECTED. TOWARDS LGBTQ PEOPLE.
OUR STATE IS GOING IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION WE ARE BRACING UP
LIFTING. LGBTQ PEOPLE- THIS BODY
IN THIS LEGISLATURE IN THIS
GOVERNOR HAVE ENACTED- SOME OF
THE STRONGEST- CIVIL RIGHTS
PROTECTIONS FOR LGBTQ PEOPLE ON
THE PLANET AND I AM VERY PROUD
OF THAT. BUT I ALSO RISE- WITH
SIGNIFICANT NOT JUST CONCERNED
BUT JUST TO BE HONEST FEAR.
ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS
COUNTRY TODAY. THAT. IN THE YEAR
TWENTY TWENTY THREE. IT IS CAN.
X. X. RHETORIC. ONLINE AND IN
CONGRESS TO REFER TO MEMBERS OF
THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AS QUOTE
UNQUOTE GROOMERS. WHICH IS
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE AFTERWARD
THAT I WILL NOT SAY ON THE FLOOR
TODAY. I'VE SIGNIFICANT FEAR
THAT IN. TWENTY TWENTY THREE.
AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF MAKING
NOT THE FASTEST PROGRESS SO WE
WANTED BUT MAKING GRADUAL STEP
BY STEP. PROGRESS TO RECOGNIZE
THAT LGBTQ PEOPLE. OUR FULL
HUMAN BEINGS ARE FULL CITIZENS
AND ARE DESERVING OF COMPLETE
RESPECT AND ACCEPTANCE THAT IN
TWENTY TWENTY THREE WE SEE.
GOVERNORS AND LEGISLATURES
ENACTING LAWS AND EXECUTIVE
ORDERS- THE TRIED TO ERASE OUR
COMMUNITY THAT PROHIBIT MEMBERS
OF OUR COMMUNITY FROM USING THE
RESTROOM OR PLAYING SPORTS. THAT
MADE THAT LITERALLY LITERALLY
THE STATE OF FLORIDA SAYS THAT
IS LITERALLY MAKE IT LEGAL FOR A
DOCTOR OR A NURSE TO SAY I KNOW
THAT YOU'RE DYING RIGHT NOW I'M
NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU HEALTHCARE
BECAUSE MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS SAY
THE I DON'T WANT TO TREAT YOU.
THAT IS NOW LEGAL IN THE STATE
OF FLORIDA AND THAT IS WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE YEAR TWENTY
TWENTY THREE IN THIS COUNTRY AND
IT IS SPREADING AROUND. AND
SADLY. IT'S GOING BEYOND SOME OF
THESE LEGISLATORS AND GOVERNORS
WE SAW THAT ANHEUSER BUSCH
RECENTLY RAN A SMALL INSTAGRAM
AD CAMPAIGN. WITH A TRANS WOMAN
FEATURED. ON A RIGHT WING MOB.
TO STAND UP AND WENT WENT AFTER
ANHEUSER BUSCH AND ANHEUSER
BUSCH CAVED IN AND BACK DOWN.
FOR SIMPLY PUTTING A TRANS WOMAN
IN AN ODD. AND NOW IT'S JUST
YESTERDAY WE LEARNED. THAT THE
LOS ANGELES DODGERS. AFTER
INVITING THE SISTERS OF
PERPETUAL INDULGENCE ONE OF THE
MOST RESPECTED COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATIONS THAT RAISES IN
HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR
CHARITY. THEY WERE ALL OUT GOING
TO RECOGNIZE THE SISTERS AT
PRIDE NIGHT AND GIVE THEM AN
AWARD. AND THEN A RIGHT WING MOB
. JUST MELTED DOWN AND THE
DODGERS CAVED IN AND REVOKED.
THAT AWARD SPITTING IN THE FACE
OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT'S HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. FOR CALLING DOESN'T
REMEMBER HARVEY MILK AND WHAT HE
STOOD FOR AND WHAT HE DIED FOR.
LET'S REMEMBER THAT IN THE YEAR
TWENTY TWENTY THREE WE STILL
HAVE ENORMOUS WORK TO DO AYE
ORIGIN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU
CENTER THERE. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT LET ME. ASSOCIATE
MYSELF WITH THE COMMENTS OF THE
SENATORS FROM STOCKTON AND SAN
FRANCISCO. AND I WAS ASKED ON
THE FLOOR THIS MORNING BY
SOMEONE DID DID YOU ACTUALLY
MEET HARVEY MILK. AND YES I DID
AND THE BAY AREA REPORTER THE
LGBT NEWSPAPER IN SAN
FRANCISCO'S HAD A FIELD DAY.
POINTING OUT THAT I'M OVER FOUR
DECADES OLDER THAN THE YOUNGEST
MEMBER OF THE LGBT CAUGHT
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS. AND SO AT A
CAUCUS MEETING I ASKED HOW MANY
OF YOU ACTUALLY MATT HARVEY MILK
. AND NOW IT IS JUST ME. AND
IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU'D
NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MIGHT
BE PRESENT FOR HISTORY RIGHT
COMIC MOMENTS I'M- ONE OF THE
FIRST SAN FRANCISCO PARADES I
WENT TO WAS THE ONE WHERE. HE
WAS HOLDING THE SIGN SAYING ON
FROM WINDERMERE NEW YORK AND I
STOOD THERE AND WATCHED IT GO
BLIND AND COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT
SEAN PENN WAS REENACTING THE
SAME. SCENE AS IF IT HAD THIS
INCREDIBLE HISTORIC PRESERVATION
AND HIS POINT THEN. WAS THAT
WE'RE ALL FROM SOMEWHERE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS SOMEBODY THAT'S
LGBT BUT AT THAT TIME MANY OF
THEM DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IF YOU IF
YOU LOOK AT THE POLL RESULTS. IN
THE IN THE EIGHTIES. AND
SEVENTIES IF THEY WOULD ASK IF
YOU SUPPORTED CIVIL RIGHTS AND
NATIONALLY WAS OVERWHELMINGLY
NO. BUT IF YOU LOOK TO SUB TABS
IF YOU KNEW SOMEBODY THAT WAS
OPENLY LGBT. YOU TENDED TO
SUPPORT RIGHTS AND IF YOU
DIDN'T. ARE THAT IS WHERE THE
OPPOSITION WAS AND THAT'S WHERE
HARVEY MILK FOUND HIS GROOVE TO
BASICALLY SAY COMING OUT AS A
POLITICAL ACT. AND THAT THAT WAS
THE DIFFERENCE IN DOING IT AND
THE CENTER FROM STOCKTON
REFERRED TO THE MOVIE. AND I HAD
A REAL DIFFER TIME WHEN IT CAME
OUT BECAUSE I KNEW. I'D MET HIM
BUT I KNEW EVERYBODY AROUND HIM
VERY CLOSE AND I DID I KNEW HOW
IT ENDED AND I DIDN'T
PARTICULARLY WANT TO GO SEE IT.
AND IT TOOK ME MONTHS AND WHEN I
FINALLY SAW IT. I WAS SURPRISED
BECAUSE WE LOOK BACK AT THE TIME
THROUGH THE PRISM OF EVERYTHING
THAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN.
AND YOU FEEL A COMFORT AND AN
END I DON'T RECALL TÔI SAW THE
MOVIE THAT THE POLICE WERE
REGULARLY RAIDING GAY
ESTABLISHMENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
AND THAT HE ORGANIZED SO THAT HE
WOULD GET A PHONE CALL AND A
GROUP OF PEOPLE WOULD GO AND BE
THERE WHEN THAT HAPPENED AND IT
AND IT'S- A I REMEMBER THAT ONCE
THE MOVIE JOGGED AT BUT YOU
FORGET. WHAT IT WAS LIKE AND
WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE LIKE
AND HOW FAR AHEAD WE HAVE COME.
IN IT IS FORTY YEARS THIS YEAR.
THERE ARE WAS ONE OF FIRST THREE
OPEN LGBT MATTERS IN THE UNITED
STATES AND- AT THE TIME. I'M NOT
SURE WE CRACKED TEN OPEN LGBT
ELECTED OFFICIALS IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY. THERE'S MORE IN THE
MONTEREY BAY AREA NOW THAN THERE
WERE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. WHEN
I WAS FIRST ELECTED TO OFFICE.
IN THE END SO I WAS INVITED TO
SPEAK. AT THE FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY. OF THE
ASSASSINATIONS AT THE
CANDLELIGHT MARCH IN SAN
FRANCISCO. AND AS WAS REFERRED
TO. PART OF THE- OFFERING. AND
HE KEPT SAYING. ARE WE HAVE TO.
REACH OUT TO THAT KID AND NOW TO
KNOW THAT DOESN'T KNOW THERE'S
ANYBODY ELSE AND THAT NIGHT I
SAID WELL WE HAVE THE FIRST
RETURNS. FROM ALTOONA. BECAUSE
WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO
TRANSFORM AND TRYING TO BE OUT.
AND TRYING TO MOVE IT ALONG. AND
SO THERE'S ARE HARVEY MILK
BIRTHDAY VIDEO THAT HAS BEEN
RECORDED BY THE LGBT CAUCUS. AND
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS TO ME WAS-
WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'D SAY IF HE
WERE ALIVE RIGHT NOW. AND I
THINK. HE WOULD BE AMAZED AT THE
PROGRESS PARTY HE'D START TO
LIST ALL THE THINGS WE STILL
HAVE TO DO. AND WE HEARD ABOUT
IT FROM THE CENTER FROM SAN
FRANCISCO AND WE HEARD ABOUT IT
FROM THE CENTER OF STOCKTON AND-
AND JUST IN MY LIFE THERE.
THERE'S THIS AMAZING THING WE
NEVER THOUGHT PEOPLE WOULD BE
OUT AN OLDER SO NOW PEOPLE ARE
GOING INTO NURSING HOMES WHERE
THEY FEEL VERY VULNERABLE. AND
THEY'RE GOING BACK. ALL
SITUATION BEING OUT AND AS WAS
MENTIONED TO IT IT'S JUST.
INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO BE OPEN
AND TRANSCENDENCE THE KIDS THAT
ARE NOT SUPPORTED AND STILL KIDS
THAT ARE THROWN OUT OF HOMES AND
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
AND IT'S GREAT THAT WE HAVE THIS
TO CELEBRATE HIS MEMORY AND HIS
WORK AND TO REMIND US WHAT WE
STILL HAVE TO DO SO- I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF SR TWENTY SIX. THANK
YOU. CENTER OUT. MEMBERS AYE A
RISE IN MY CAPACITY AS FORMER
CHAIR THAT THE LIVES OF JEWISH
CAUCUS- YOU MAIL REMEMBER-
POWERFUL. DISCUSSIONS WE HAD A
ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WITH FOR
HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY AND
THERE'S SOME REALLY INTERESTING
STORIES RELATING TO HARVEY MILK.
AND SOME OF THE DIFFICULT
STORIES OF THE TWENTY CENTURY
WORLD WAR TWO IN THE JEWISH
COMMUNITY. OF FOLKS ME COURSE
EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT. HARVEY
MILK'S INCREDIBLE ACTIVISM IN
OUR LGBT COMMUNITY HE ALSO WAS
JEWISH. I WAS THE SON OF
LITHUANIAN JEWISH IMMIGRANTS AND
THE EARLY HALF OF THE TWENTIETH
CENTURY CAME UNITED STATES AND
HE WITNESSED THE BRUTALITY OF
ANTISEMITISM AND SELF. BOTH
ABROAD BUT ALSO HERE IN UNITED
STATES. AS A CHILD HE
EXPERIENCED. I EXPLICIT
SEGREGATION OF JEWS COUGAR'S
KLAN RALLIES ON LONG ISLAND
WHERE HE LIVED. HIS SCHOOL'S
REFUSAL TO HIRE TEACHER JUST
BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWISH. AT THE
SAME TIME HIS GRANDFATHER HELPED
TO ESTABLISH THE FIRST SYNAGOGUE
IN TOWN AND HIS FATHER FOUGHT
THE EXCLUSION OF THAT VERY
JEWISH TEACHER. UNTIL THEY WERE
ULTIMATELY HIRED- THE WARSAW
GHETTO FELL JUST SIX DAYS BEFORE
NO EXPERIMENTS. WHICH IS EIGHTY
YEARS AGO TODAY. AND HE WOULD
RECALL ELDERS IN HIS COMMUNITY
SAYING OF THE JEWS OF THE GHETTO
FOUGHT NOT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT
THEY WOULD WIN. BUT BECAUSE WHEN
SOMETHING THAT EVIL DESCENDS ON
THE WORLD YOU HAVE TO FIGHT EVEN
WHEN IT'S HOPELESS. NOT SO CLEAR
TO SEE HOW THE IDEAS OF SOCIAL
JUSTICE THAT HE LEARNED FROM THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY INFLUENCES LIFE
AND WORK. HE WAS SO COMMITTED TO
TIKKUN OLAM HEALING THE WORLD.
AND SOCIAL JUSTICE WRIT LARGE.
HE FIGHT. PROPOSITION SIX FOR
EXAMPLE AS YOU MAY RECALL THAT
WAS A BALLOT PROPOSITION SOUGHT
TO BAN GAY PEOPLE FROM WORKING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN ANY
CAPACITY SAID OF THE LAW
JUSTICE. PROPOSITION SIX WOULD
PREVENT THE PEOPLE FROM TEACHING
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SO FORTY
FIVE YEARS AGO TO THE GERMAN
LAW. PROHIBIT JEWS FROM TEACHING
OR HOLDING ANY OTHER. CIVIL
SERVICE POSITIONS. SO CENTER
WIENER SPOKE OF THE- ANTI TRANS
ANTI QUEER LEGISLATION THAT
WE'RE SEEING AROUND THE COUNTRY
- SEEM EVIL THAT RESULTED IN.
SOME OF THAT SOME OF THE BIGOTRY
THAT- IS- IS YEAH MOTIVATES.
SOME OF THE ACTIVISTS BEHIND
SOME OF THAT LEGISLATION- THAT
RESULTED IN HIS. ASSASSINATION
IN. THE COURSE THAT LED TO THE
WHITE KNIGHT RIGHTS- IT'S THE
BIT OF THE SAME STRUGGLE THAT
HARVEY WAS FINANCES ENTIRE LIFE
AND I THINK WE- WE NEED TO. TO
REALLY REFLECT ON HIS WORK AND
REFLECT ON HOW WE CAN DO MORE
FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE HERE. IN OUR
OWN STATE IN OUR COUNTRY I WAS
GONNA LEAVE YOU WITH ONE QUOTE
FROM HARVEY MILK. THERE WAS
SILENCE IN GERMANY BECAUSE NO
ONE GOT UP EARLY ENOUGH TO SAY
WHAT HILL THERE REALLY WAS IF.
ONLY SOMEONE DID MAYBE THE
HOLOCAUST NEVER WHAT HAPPENED.
WITHOUT AYE ORIGIN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU- ANYMORE DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. WOULD YOU LIKE CENTER
WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND I THINK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR REMARKS.
AND IF ANYONE DOUBTS THAT THE
VITRIOL THAT STILL CONTINUES
TODAY IN OUR OWN STATE I INVITE
YOU TO GET TAGGED WITH THE
SENATOR FROM SAN FRANCISCO ON
THE TWITTER FEED. AND YOU'LL
CERTAINLY SEE IT COME
OVERWHELMINGLY THE KIND OF
VITRIOL AND HATE THAT HE
EXPERIENCES EVERY SINGLE DAY. IN
CALIFORNIA. AND ALSO POINT OUT
THAT JUST YESTERDAY THERE WAS A
ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE MORNING
REPORT. ABOUT A. L. L. G. B. T.
Q. HATE GROUP HAVING A- A DI
DIALOGUE AND WE REACHED OUT AND
SAID THAT WAS INAPPROPRIATE- AN
EIGHT SIDED FREE SPEECH AND THEY
MENTION IT TODAY AGAIN IN THE
MORNING REPORT. BUT IT IS
INSIDIOUS AND IT IS EVERYWHERE-
AND SO WE CONTINUE TO HAVE TO
STAND IN THEIR BREACH OF FOR
EQUALITY FOR RIGHTS. AND FOR NOT
BACKING DOWN WHEN YOU KNOW THAT
YOU ARE STANDING FOR PEOPLE AND
FOR HOPE WITHOUT I ASK FOR YOUR

YOUNG LATINAS ESPECIALLY A YOUNG
LIKE YOU KNOW LIKE MYSELF
GROWING UP IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY
WHERE I SAW HER THROUGHOUT MY
YOU JUST SUCH AN INCREDIBLE
POWERFUL WOMAN POWERFUL LEADER
AND SO MANY OF US REALLY HAD A
HARD TIME SEEING OURSELVES IN
LEADERSHIP ROLES BECAUSE THERE
WASN'T A LOT OF WOMEN THAT LOOK
LIKE GUYS. EVEN MAN IT WAS SENT-
SOMETHING YOU SAW OFTEN ON TV OR
IN OUR LEADERS AND SO I.
FOLLOWED HER THROUGHOUT MY YOUTH
AND INTO ADULTHOOD AND I. GOT TO
MEET A FEW TIMES AND ONE OF
THINGS THAT I ADMIRED OF HER ODD
WAS THAT SHE WAS SUCH AN
ADVOCATE FOR THE ARTS AND I
REMEMBER JUST WANTED TO BE IN
THE ARTS AND SHE CAME TO SEE ONE
OF. MY PERFORMANCES EARLY ON
WHEN I USED TO DO LOCAL THEATER
AND EVEN AND HER PASSING SHE
ASKED THAT INSTEAD OF FLOWERS.
OUT OF YOU KNOW PEOPLE DONATE-
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ARTS IN
PARTICULAR BLOSSOMED ALLOWED US
TO WHICH SHE WAS VERY CONNECTED
TO ANGKASA SAID ONO SAID ON A
WHICH IS ANOTHER- ORGANIZATION
THAT PROVIDES ARTS FOR YOUTH
ESPECIALLY IN. COMMUNITIES WHERE
YOU DON'T SEE THE ARTS AND YOU
DON'T SEE THEATER YOU DON'T SEE-
EXHIBITIONS AND SO SHE WAS SUCH
A STRONG ADVOCATE SO I JUST WANT
TO HIGHLIGHT HOW MUCH SHE
BELIEVED IN OUR CHILDREN FROM
OUR COMMUNITY HAVING THE SAME
ACCESS AS ANYBODY ELSE. AND SO I
HAVE TO ADMIRE HER FOR THAT. AS
MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES
MENTIONED SHE BROKE SO MANY
BARRIERS SHE DID. SO MANY FIRST
AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN NEVER
COMPETE AND YOU KNOW AS AS YOU
HEARD SHE WAS A FIRST. BUT THE
ASSEMBLY LAMENT THE FIRST ELLIE
CITY COUNCILWOMAN THE FIRST.
SUPERVISOR AND AGAIN THAT'S JUST
WHAT WE SAW ON. BOB ON TV AND-
ON THE DÍAS BUT THERE WAS SO
MUCH MORE TO HER. SO MUCH MORE
THAT SHE DID BEHIND THE SCENES
TO ALEVE. ARGUES I TO ELEVATE
OUR COMMUNITIES CONSTANTLY
FIGHTING. FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR
IT FOR OUR CHILDREN WHICH IS
SOMETHING THAT I REALLY STRONGLY
ADMIRED ABOUT HER- AND I ALSO
JUST WANT TO SAY TO THE FAMILY.
THANK YOU FOR. HER WITH US MANY-
A- GROWING UP IN PICO UNION.
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES THESE
OPPORTUNITIES WERE NOT AVAILABLE
SO I HAVE TO. RECOGNIZE AND I
HOPE WE ALL DO THAT WE STE DOWN
ON HER SHOULDERS. EVERYTHING SHE
DID AND I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE
HERE US WOMEN LATINO WOMEN ON
THIS FOR BECAUSE OF HER
LEADERSHIP BECAUSE- SHE WAS A
ROLE MODEL TO SO MANY OF US.

SHE IMPACTED SO MANY LIVES WITH
HER LEADERSHIP. AND I COULD
FOREVER BE THANKFUL SO THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
THERE ARE TWO LETTER. THANK YOU
MR PRESIDENT. ALL OF US STARTED
OUR POLITICAL CAREERS. WITH
SOMEONE. IN SOME LOCATION YOUR
HOME TOWN. THE CITIZENS AROUND
YOU. I STARTED MY POLITICAL
CAREER. WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY
. WHEN I FIRST BETTER HE SAID
BOB ARCHULETA. I KNOW YOUR HEART
IS WITH VETERANS I NEED YOU. TO
BE MY COMMISSIONER TO REPRESENT
VETERANS IN THE COUNTY OF LOS

OUR VETERANS. SHE GOT THE FORTY
MILLION DOLLARS TO GET IT
RENOVATED AND SHE WAS THERE WHEN
WE RE OPENED IT. AND WHEN SHE
ASKED ME TO GO AHEAD AND
CONTINUE MY POLITICAL LIFE IN
THE CITY OF PICO RIVERA. IT WAS
THERE WHERE SHE WAS WITH THE

THAT WE DID TOGETHER WAS TO COME

CABALLERO. I ALSO RISE TODAY TO.
THANK THE FERRET FAMILY FOR.
SHARING SUPERVISOR GLORIA MOLINA
WITH US- YOU KNOW THAT CONTEXT.
THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IS REALLY
IMPORTANT AND I JUST FELT LIKE
I. I NEEDED TO GET UP AND SAY A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT BECAUSE
SOMETIMES WE JUST TAKE FOR
GRANTED- THAT- LATINOS- WHEN
WOMEN IN PARTICULAR LATINAS-
HAVE A VOICE AND HAVE A VOTE AND
HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE. BUT
THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT AROUND THE
TIME THAT GLORIA WAS GROWING UP.
THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A
LATINO MOVEMENT IT DIDN'T EXIST.
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL. PEOPLE
STOOD UP AND SAID LOOK THERE IS
INJUSTICE IN THE WORLD. AND
THERE IS RACISM IN THE WORLD AND
THERE'S MISTREATMENT. AND WE
NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
AND SO WE JOINED. THE CIVIL
RIGHTS MOVEMENT AS PART OF A AN
EXPRESSION OF FRUSTRATION. AND
JOINED OUR- OUR OTHER BROTHERS
AND SISTERS THAT WERE INVOLVED
IN THAT FIGHT AND PART OF THAT.
FOUR WHEN WE CALLED OURSELVES
CHICANOS WE WEREN'T LIKE
DENIALS- FRANKLY LIKE THE NOISE
THAT COLONISED. WORD BUT I
DIGRESS- WE CALLED OURSELVES
CHICANOS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO
STAND FOR SOMETHING. AND AND AS
PART OF THAT MOVEMENT WOMEN
BASICALLY WERE TOLD TO SHUT UP
AND JUST JOIN THE MARCH RIGHT
GET IN LINE. AND MAKE THE
COFFEE. AND TO HAVE A WOMAN STEP
OUT. A LATINA STEP OUT AND SAY
WAIT A MINUTE. WOMEN NEED A SEAT
AT THE TABLE WE NEED TO BE ABLE
TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT
ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITIES
AND- AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
THERE. NO MATTER WHAT WILL FIGHT
EACH OTHER BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE
THERE IT WAS REALLY CREDIT BUT
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT SHE LED THE
WAY FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE
HERE ON THIS FLOOR TODAY. SHE
LED THE WAY AND SHOWED US HOW TO
GET IT DONE AND- AND SHE SPOKE
FOR ANYBODY WHO NEEDED HELP
WHETHER IT WAS VETERANS WHETHER
WITH POOR PEOPLE WHETHER IT WAS
PEOPLE OF COLOR WHETHER IT WAS
CHILDREN. AND THAT LEGACY I
THINK IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.
TO REMEMBER. AND TO SALUTE AND
TO THANK HER FAMILY FOR ALLOWING
US TO BE PART OF THAT. AND TO
SEE HER AND TO KNOW THAT IF SHE
COULD DO WHAT WE CAN DO IT TOO
AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT
WE NEED TO KEEP TALKING TO YOUNG
PEOPLE. AND WE NEED TO BE
ENGAGED AND SHE WAS UNTIL HER
DEATH. SHE WAS A LIGHT IN THE
CITY OF LA BUT IT IS SHOWN ALL
OVER THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
SO I ASK THAT WE ADJOURN IN HER
MEMORY TODAY. THANK YOU OFFER
