  • Approved Resolutions June 2020
    RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE ADOPTION OF THE BLACK TO THE FUTURE ACTION FUND BLACK AGENDA 2020 Sponsors: Shanell Williams, Anabel Ibanez, Peter Gollata, Li Miao Lovett Co-sponsors: Campos, Baraka, Loftus, Avalos, Chen, Mahogany, Kim, Li, Mar WHEREAS Black people have no economic power and are locked out of living-wage jobs by governmental policies from the federal to the local level, it is time to invest in the health and wealth of our Black communities and empower Black people in our Democracy. We live in a country where the average white family has $140,500 in wealth while the average Black family has only $3,400. Here in San Francisco, an Office of Racial Equity had to be created to address racially discriminatory employment practices with inequities along racial lines in housing, healthcare, education, and transportation. It is time to finally build the democracy promised to all Americans. WHEREAS Black people are sicker and die younger than members of other communities, we must challenge policies and practices that cause health disparities and deliver care needed to live long and live well. Black workers are concentrated in industries that offer no benefits, meaning they often lack paid leave to manage care for oneself or one’s relatives. To compound the problem, Black patients often report inadequate diagnosis and treatment; for example, Black people suffer from amputation at a rate triple that of others due to unordered tests and profit made from performing these procedures. In order to make Black people powerful in their families, we must address inequities in our healthcare system.
