2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT Leading Is Challenging Even in the Best of Times 2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT Leading is challenging even in the best of times. In a time of urgent, interconnected crises — racial injustice, a pandemic, the economy — the work of leading can feel nothing short of overwhelming. At Coro, we’re lucky to support our program participants — leaders from every background, age, and sector — as they develop the skills they need to rise to the challenges of our time. Coro’s through line, from our founding in 1942 to 2020, is a recognition that in order to strengthen and safeguard democracy we must prepare leaders to tackle our most pressing challenges with integrity and a dedication to the common good. This moment presents an opportunity for leaders to increase their skills and renew their commitment to inquiry, inclusivity, compassion, perseverance, and adaptability. And that’s why we’re here. This year, Coro served a record 1,807 people through leadership development programs and workshops; 85% reported tangible increases in their leadership skills.

As a result of an announcement made earlier this week, six Bay Area counties have begun a “shelter in place.” This follows the federal administration’s declaration of a national emergency earlier this month. We are seeing the numbers of people contracting COVID-19 rise every day, with local governments, community organizations, and residents themselves doing all they can to prepare and ensure they are equipped to endure this pandemic. Unfortunately, we have not done nearly enough to ensure the safety, health, and well being of our community members that are locked in the county jails. As both health and criminal justice experts have noted, carceral settings, including prisons, jails, and detention centers, are known incubators of infectious diseases. Additionally, incarcerated people have an inherently limited ability to fight the spread of infectious disease: they are confined in close quarters and cannot avoid contact with people who may have been exposed, especially when testing is not prioritized or accessible.

    Member, Board of Supervisors City and County of San Francisco District 10 SHAMANN WALTON 華頌善 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, May 5, 2020 Contact: Supervisor Shamann Walton, District 10 - Natalie Gee, Chief of Staff, 415-619-0878 Gabriel Medina, Aspiring Citizens Advocate, 415-690-6992 ​ ***PRESS RELEASE*** ***SUPERVISOR SHAMANN WALTON INTRODUCES CHARTER AMENDMENT REMOVING CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENT FOR COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS*** SAN FRANCISCO, CA - On this historic day coinciding with Cinco de Mayo, a day that represents resistance to colonialism, Supervisor Shamann Walton and President Norman Yee along with Immigrant Rights Advocates and Labor Activists announced a charter amendment for the November 2020 ballot that will allow all San Franciscans to serve on San Francisco commissions, boards, and advisory committees by removing the citizenship requirement. The Aspiring Citizens Charter Amendment currently has the unanimous support of all 11 Supervisors including Gordon Mar, Sandra Fewer, Hillary Ronen, Ahsha Safai, Aaron Peskin, Matt Haney, Rafael Mandelman, Dean Preston, and Catherine Stefani. Currently, if a policy body was established in the City Charter or through legislation, it may include exceptions to age and residency requirements. Appointing officers or bodies can also waive residency requirements if an individual is qualified but do not reside in San Francisco. The Charter and any legislation cannot waive the U.S. Citizen requirement nor can any appointing officers and entities. This proposed charter amendment will remove the citizenship requirement allowing all qualified permanent residents, undocumented residents, and non-citizens to apply and serve on policy bodies in areas where most often they are affected but have no representation. “I am honored to be part of this historical ordinance asking voters to allow ALL of our San Francisco residents the opportunity to serve on important advisory groups and commissions,” said Supervisor Shamann Walton.

It appears that peacefully exercising First Amendment rights, which can get you killed in some countries, may get you punished in San Francisco even by people who call themselves progressive. A little background is in order.
