Starting tomorrow morning at 5am we will be lifting the curfew in San Francisco. The protests we have seen in this city and across the country are for an important cause and our city will continue to facilitate any and all peaceful demonstrations.
Following Saturday night, it was important for the safety of our residents to ensure that we could prevent the violence and vandalism that had taken place, but we know that the overwhelming majority of people out protesting are doing so peacefully and we trust that will continue.
As I said at the rally at City Hall on Monday, I am Mayor of San Francisco, but I am a black woman first. I know what it is like to experience injustice, and as someone who grew up here I am well aware that we have our own legacy of racism to reckon with and rectify.
I am committed to continue doing this work and I know @SFPDChief Scott and the members of the @SFPD are committed to continue doing this work as well.
I hope to see that in the coming weeks, months, and years, that the people of San Francisco continue to advocate for real change across our country. We will be right there with you.
Residents and business owners in San Francisco pay the city taxes to get protection and peace of mind. The City officials failed. Residents and business owners are living fear, don’t know when and how their properties and persons will be violated and destroyed. Do Your Jobs!
I’m a property owner in San Francisco and I stand with the protesters. The curfews should be lifted.
I just want to come out and say that I think you’ve handled the COVID19 outbreak and this current situation with intelligence and sensitivity. It’s far from an easy time but you seem to me to be doing really well. Hope to see you at next year’s Dogfest.
I disagree. For a mayor to enact a curfew is, in my mind, a last resort kind of measure. That @LondonBreed's first response to the situation was to strip us of our freedoms is in my mind the opposite of "doing really well."
I'm glad that curfew will be lifted, but this commitment to end police brutality must be reflected in city policy. The SFPD budget for 2019-2020 is nearly twice what our city spends on homeless services.
What changes will you & @sfbos make? https://m4bl.org/policy-platforms/invest-divest/ … #DefundPolicepic.twitter.com/szgZxriWyp
