This week has highlighted the devastating impacts of police violence against African-Americans in this country. SF has made substantial progress on police reform and use of force in recent years, but we know there are structural inequities in our city that continue to this day.
In San Francisco, the average income for a black household is $31K, as compared with $110K for white households. Up to 19% of black children live in poverty. 35% of homeless San Franciscans are black, despite black people making up only 5% of the total population.
Since this pandemic began we have seen how different work environments, schools, neighborhoods, homes, & support systems combine to determine which communities are at the greatest risk of suffering both disease and economic damage. But this was also the case before the pandemic.
