Lee and City Administrator Naomi Kelly today for a panel discussion at City Hall to recognize and celebrate Women’s History Month. Additionally, Mayor Lee announced in partnership with San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf that the second Bay Area Women’s Summit will take place on June 19, 2018. Mayor Lee has made gender equality and support a key priority of his administration. San Francisco became the first City in the country to approve full-paid parental leave, and Mayor Lee championed one of the most progressive minimum wage increases in the nation, an act that will help working families and mothers. Last year, Mayor Lee included $6 million in new funding for subsidized child care and expanded implicit bias training for City staff, part of a larger commitment to dedicate more than $16.7 million for initiatives that support San Francisco families. “San Francisco has always been a leader in social change and the advancement of women’s rights, and we are determined to continue that great progress,” said Mayor Lee. “This City has been home to countless female trailblazers, who have left lasting cultural, social, economic and political impacts. By celebrating Women’s History Month, we are recognizing their considerable achievements and helping to foster the next generation of female leaders.” Currently, women comprise 58 percent of the City government’s workforce, and females lead several major agencies, including the City Administrator, the Fire Department, the Department of Emergency Management, the Department of Public Health, and the Department of the Environment, among others. San Francisco was the first City in the nation to create a Department on the Status of Women, and for the first time in 21 years, there is a female majority on the Board of Supervisors. Today, Mayor Lee introduced a symposium on civic engagement strategies. The panel discussion was moderated by Surina Khan, chief executive officer of the Women’s Foundation of California. Khan joined panelists Olga Miranda, president of the labor group Service Employees International Union, Local 87, Buffy Wicks, a political strategist with the Obama Administration, and Catherine Stefani, the County Clerk of San Francisco. Mayor Lee also announced that the second Bay Area Women’s Summit will take place on June 19, 2018 at the Moscone West Convention Center and will be co-chaired by City Administrator Naomi Kelly and Deborah Mesloh, Vice President of the San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women. “Facilitating open conversations about diversity and inclusion is critical to the progress of gender equality,” said City Administrator Naomi Kelly. “Today’s celebration and next year’s panel is about fostering continued participation in the process. The more engaged and aware women are, the more empowered we will be to push for policies and leadership roles that can improve economic and social opportunities for all women.” In 2016, Mayor Lee and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf hosted the first Bay Area Women’s Summit, a gathering attended by more than 1,000 people that featured regional and national leaders discussing policies that advanced women’s equity, empowerment and opportunity in the region. With proposals at the national level targeting women’s reproductive rights, and equal pay laws under attack, next year’s Bay Area Women’s Summit presents a vital opportunity to protect, promote and advance essential female empowerment initiatives. Mayor Lee recently wrote about the importance of International Women’s Day, which can be found here. ### From: Ionin, Jonas (CPC) To: Johnson, Christine (CPC); Richards, Dennis (CPC); Koppel, Joel (CPC); Moore, Kathrin (CPC); Melgar, Myrna (CPC); Rich Hillis; Rodney Fong; Aaron Jon Hyland - HPC; Andrew Wolfram ([email protected]); Diane Matsuda; Ellen Johnck - HPC; Jonathan Pearlman; Karl Hasz; Richard S.

Lee, the United Way Bay Area, San Francisco City Departments and private sector employers kicked off the Mayor’s Youth Jobs+ 2017 initiative today. This program challenges employers of both large and small companies to create jobs, internships and paid job training for San Francisco residents. Today’s event at the Green Room of the War Memorial resulted in more than 6,100 on-the-spot pledged jobs for local youths, closing in on the program’s ongoing goal of 7,000 jobs. “Hiring a youth today represents an investment in our future,” said Mayor Lee. “Every young person who lives in San Francisco should have an opportunity and access to a job. Youth Jobs+ strengthens our City and neighborhood communities, especially for our low-income and disadvantaged youth. Today, I called upon employers, in all business sectors, across San Francisco, to join us in supporting the future of our young people by creating meaningful employment opportunities this summer and beyond.” Now in its sixth year, the Mayor’s Youth Jobs+ has provided more than 35,000 young people (ages 14 – 24) with jobs from local employers. These jobs and internships provide valuable skill-building experience for young people, while also enabling them to apply academic knowledge in “real-world” situations. For many students, an internship may be their first time in a business or office setting. The youth receive training and work exposure while learning about discipline and the connection between their education and their future careers. United Way Bay Area is leading San Francisco’s effort in support of the Mayor’s Youth Jobs+ Initiative, along with Department of Children Youth and their Families (DCYF), the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) and the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). “United Way Bay Area and our Mayor’s Youth Jobs+ partners are committed to the future of our young people, and the future of our great city,” said Anne Wilson, CEO of United Way Bay Area. “We believe that opportunity should not be based on a young person’s zip code and we know that the foundation for future success begins now. Together we can create real change.” Since 2012, San Francisco has challenged businesses, nonprofits, and government to work together to provide pathways to employment for the city’s youth population. More than 150 private sector employers, including companies like Starbucks, Target, FibroGen, LinkedIn and Salesforce, take part in the program. They partner with some 60 nonprofit groups, such as Glide Memorial, the Boys and Girls Club and the Hunters Point Family, and more than 50 City agencies to provide San Francisco youth with exciting jobs opportunities. The work experience includes the arts, computer science, retail, banking, engineering, landscaping and dozens of other fields. “As a non-profit working to expand the tech pipeline by on-ramping women with kids to technical careers, we were thrilled to provide Tessa, a young women interested in pursuing a career in computer science, with the opportunity to be on the front lines tackling the problem with us,” said Tina Lee, Founder of Mother Coders. “Tessa not only brought enthusiasm and a can-do attitude to our class, she found a way to contribute her own coding skills toward a meaningful purpose—empowering moms looking to advance toward technical careers so they can achieve economic security for their families” Many youth placed by the Mayor’s Youth Jobs+ Initiative are from low-income and immigrant families who face significant barriers. Some are disconnected or at-risk youth, including those from the foster care system and the juvenile justice system. The Transitional Aged Youth initiative (TAYSF) estimates that almost 9,000 young adults are neither working nor enrolled in school.

    www.mayoredlee.com @EdLeeforMayor Facebook.com/MayorEdLee MAYOR ED LEE’s ROADMAP TO GOOD JOBS & OPPORTUNITY Attract & Grow tHe Jobs of tHe Future San Francisco today is laying the foundation for a dynamic, innovation-based economy with companies like Twitter, Salesforce and Zynga and cutting-edge biotechnology, life sciences and clean technology firms. Mayor Lee will continue working hard to attract and retain a record number of jobs in high technology, new media, clean technology and biotechnology to San Francisco’s new “Innovation Corridor” from South of Market through Mission Bay and a redeveloped Pier 70 to Hunters Point. Launch the Job Squad Mayor Lee knows that small businesses are the heart of San Francisco’s local economy and he will expand the City’s efforts to help them start and thrive. Mayor Lee will establish a new Job Squad of expert City staff to get out of City Hall and work fulltime out in the City’s many neighborhood commercial districts, offering direct assistance and advice to small businesses in permitting, cutting red tape and navigating City Government and available services. Mayor Lee will make sure local businesses get the help they need to create jobs in our neighborhoods. Reform the Payroll Tax Mayor Lee knows that San Francisco’s current business tax structure punishes job creation when it should reward it. The City has seen great results creating new jobs through targeted payroll tax exemptions for biotech, cleantech and in Central Market, but Mayor Lee believes comprehensive payroll tax reform is needed for the entire City. In 2012, Mayor Lee will bring together businesses large and small and from every neighborhood and industry together and work with the Board of Supervisors to develop a fair business tax structure that rewards job creation and creates sustainable revenue for vital City services.
