>>now at 11. a fight for freedom playing out across the state. supporters of the trans community are making sure everyone has a voice. then >>seen that people were like, no, this is important. somebody took a stand. >>a san francisco bookstore turning the page on a renowned and controversial author. now their efforts are catching on. plus, pumping the brakes on a plan that was supposed to save lives. why some who lost loved ones are saying it's time to come up with something new and >>within two wars. and i knew i wasn't a missile or anything. >>this is definitely not something you see every day.

>>hi, i'm sara donchey. we are in the last few days of pride month, marking a celebration of the lgbtq plus community. it is a time to honor the contributions that lgbtq plus people have made, and to commemorate the rights that have been gained in the decades since the stonewall riots in 1969. but for some, they say the fight is still ongoing, with crowds turning out here in the bay area and in l.a. to rally for transgender youth. according to trans legislation. com, a site that follows state legislation that targets the trans community, more than 100 bills have been passed nationwide dealing with trans health care and other items. the site is tracking six bills in our state. at least two of them were about trans participation in youth sports. both already failed. today's rally outside san francisco city hall was focused on uplifting the voices of people who could be impacted. >>we still in california deal with issues with health care and insurance, is not wanting to cover things for us that are

life saving. we still have to fight. to deliver a petition with over a thousand signatures that is demanding action to protect trans youth, community autonomy. >>children's hospital la is set to end its gender affirming care program for trans youth next month. advocates blame mounting pressure from the trump administration, but with the closure of its trans youth center just around the corner, people who call it a lifeline are sounding the alarm, demanding the hospital reverse its decision and end gender affirming surgeries. >>la county does not have enough gender affirming care providers to address every every patient and their individual case. so this is going to put a big stress on our system. through the gender clinic. it's not just hormones. it's not just surgeries. it's not just, you know what other people may say mutilation, but it's therapy too. it's psychiatric help. >>so again, those advocates want the program to continue and health care and procedures to continue. the los angeles

lgbt center plans to hold rallies every single thursday outside of the hospital until the closure date. the hospital has provided care for over 3000 transgender youth up to age 25. officials say they are helping patients find new providers. the attacks on the trans community by one popular children's author led a local bookstore to pull her from the shelves. the booksmith on haight street posted this on its website, announcing it would no longer carry j.k. rowling's harry potter series, and the booksmith is not alone with fabulous books in the castro following suit. our andrea nakano has the details. >>so i write children's books myself. that one and that one. >>marcus ewert with fabulous books on castro street, is also an accomplished author. >>this is my very first 1 in 2008, and it was the first kids book to have any sort of transgender content, let alone a transgender kid main character. >>ewert says while the book 10,000 dresses has been

embraced by the queer community, it has been banned and challenged by others. so the decision to take j.k. rowling's series of harry potter books off the shelf wasn't taken >>lightly. and normally, they would have been right there. >>ewert says he did what he felt was right to >>him. setting an example of their things to resist and choices to make, actions to take. and, >>and campaigns they say, would heart the trans community. camden avery, the co-owner of booksmith, wrote where one private business making a decision to align our business practice with our own values and our customers values the

freedom to do which, if i'm honest, is the one of the most rewarding parts of operating as a truly independent bookstore. fabulous books says it couldn't agree more. >seeing that people were like, no, this is important, somebody took a stand. it's like, okay, well, actually then yeah, we want to we want to be counted too. so it's not just one lone bookstore. >some on social media have criticized the bookstores actions, saying that it's equivalent to banning books. ubers says this is just a show of solidarity to stand for the community he serves. >it's so much better to use language to broaden people's hearts, broaden the world. all that, and not to condemn and vilify. >sara>we are three days away from one of the largest pride events in the entire world. when the 55th annual pride parade rolls down market street. today, san francisco mayor daniel lurie and local law enforcement said safety is

going to be top of mind. police will be fully staffed through the weekend, with specialized units ready to respond if they're needed. >to all of our residents, visitors, performers, public safety teams and everyone joining us this weekend belongs to you. let's look out for one another and let's celebrate. >sara>while the excitement is definitely growing, the organization behind the event, san francisco pride is facing some pretty tough times. organizers say ticket sales for some of the festivities are down, and notable sponsors like comcast and beverage company diageo pulled out of this year's event, leaving the organization with a deficit. >of about $175,000 short. how many people show up at the event? how many people donate? we still have tickets to sell at sf pride for the grandstands for the parades and city hall party, and the pride pass. and so, you know, if people were to stay home, it could cripple us.

>sara>organizers are optimistic about sf pride's future, though, but if they they tell us that if the funding issues continue, they may need to make some changes to next year's parade to accommodate it. be sure to watch our pride special this sunday on pix plus, we will also have live coverage for you of the pride parade, and we will highlight members of the lgbtq community making a difference here in the bay area. all of that starts at 10 a.m. sunday on pix plus. we hope you join us. all right. other stories we're following. a push for san francisco to commit to safer streets. 11 years ago, city leaders started an ambitious plan to eliminate traffic deaths. it was called vision zero, modeled after a successful plan that saved lives in sweden. but a recent civil grand jury report found not only has vision zero not worked, the streets have arguably gotten worse and more dangerous. the city implemented vision 0 in 2014. that year, 30 people died in vehicle related crashes. the number has gone up and down since then, but last year, 42 people were killed,

the most in almost two decades. so far this year, san francisco has seen 12 traffic deaths. lauren toms talked to safety advocates who are asking the mayor to come up with a new plan. >it's been three and a half years since richard zeeman got the call. his son andrew had been hit and killed after a driver sped down franklin street and collided with a car that hit andrew on his way to work as an educator for special needs students. it was an accident that richard says should have been prevented through heightened traffic safety efforts. >anyone who's lived in the city. knows the places that are the worst, you know, for andrew, it was franklin street. and you know, these streets aren't mysteries. it's a small city. >but driving down franklin street today, not much has changed. despite pleas with the city and years of complaints of speeding drivers, richard says change isn't optional. he's part of a group of traffic collision victims showing up at city hall calling for mayor

daniel lurie to adopt a new vision zero policy by the end of july, and a new traffic safety plan by the end of september. and for richard, the solution comes down to accountability and implementation. >sfmta is rationale for not addressing the years of speed complaints down franklin through the school zone was it wasn't on the high injury network yet. which makes you wonder what do they need to see in an elementary school zone before they're going to do something? >launched in 2014, the vision zero campaign had a goal of reaching zero traffic fatalities by 2024, but that year was the deadliest on san francisco road since 2007, with 42 traffic fatalities. a grand jury report on the program, released last week found that although the sfmta implemented safety measures for pedestrians and cyclists, it wasn't enough to shore up traffic safety. they also pointed to the police department's lack of enforcement of traffic laws. in a statement, the foreperson of the civil grand jury cited a sense of lawlessness on city

streets due to the almost complete lack of law enforcement in recent years. board of supervisors president rafael mandelman says although the police department is already facing critical resource shortages, stories like andrew's are the reason traffic enforcement should be prioritized. >i think there aren't the resources being committed at the police department to see enforcement, so i think we need more officers doing more enforcement. we need more people and we need more officers in traffic company, and we need to be using technology much more than we are to make up for the lack of officers that we have. and >but, he says safer streets in san francisco are possible. sfmta has implemented traffic safety measures, including speed cameras, no turn on red areas and protected bike lanes, but still more can be done. it's a sentiment shared by transportation advocate and editor of streetsblog, roger ruddick. >the way forward is very, very clear. it just requires political will. i say just i realize just that that's actually a big thing, political will. but it's been done in

american cities and we can do it here. >he says it's up to the city to commit to traffic changes and points to european cities as success models of zero traffic fatalities. and for richard, he asks how many incidents will be enough to create real change. meeting that goal of zero. >sara>sfpd told us their number one priority is keeping people safe and keeping people alive, and they've increased their traffic enforcement and citations by 50% last year. but as for why the number of citations plummeted, sfpd told the grand jury there were a lot of reasons. they blamed staffing shortages, but also the pandemic. the department says it explicitly stopped prioritizing traffic enforcement in 2020 to minimize potential covid 19 transmission between officers and the public. it's a bird. it's a plane. no, it's a fireball making its way across the southeast.

it and where experts say it finally exploded. and you might have seen this one on social media today. what happened after this truck got a little too close for comfort? >paul>cut that video off right at the right moment. let's take a look at today's high temperatures kind of all over the place, even farther inland, below average in san jose, right at normal in concord, but well above normal in santa rosa. everybody warms up as we hit the end of the workweek tomorrow. details coming up in the first alert forecast. >sara>all right. paul, thanks. if you want to take a trip without actually taking a trip, you might want to make your reservation with this airline. >tonight. now that he's back, does anything surprise you or does everything surprise. everythi

>sara>all right, don't freak out. the guy you're about to see in this video is okay, but this was scary nonetheless. watch this. a dash cam caught the moment an 18 wheeler turned a corner and hit the utility worker. yeah, it happened in louisiana while he was working on a traffic signal. the worker thankfully had a harness on, but he was dangling midair for a while. he was left with a few minor injuries. oh my god. a drone that looks more like a rocket could one day help fight wildfires. it is the creation of stanford engineering students. the prototype is called firefly. it weighs about 2 pounds. it can easily fit in a backpack. the drone is designed to give firefighters a 360 degree scan of the terrain,

along with environmental readings and sensors. capture the video. they send it back wirelessly to firefighting teams. >this way, the firefighter can know where exactly the fire is, which direction it is headed at, and also communicate with other firefighters around him. >sara>according to the students, the drone is designed to improve situational awareness for firefighters because of its compact design. designers think there is the potential for other uses, including search and rescue missions. wow. people in parts of georgia and south carolina got an unexpected visitor from the sky today. a fireball streaking across the clouds before exploding above west forest, georgia. that's about half an hour southeast of atlanta. the explosion unleashed around the same amount of energy as 20 tons of tnt. people heard the heard booms from the fireball as it moved southwest at 30,000mph. there were more than 160 reports of a sighting of a fireball between the two

states. one man spotted it from columbia, south carolina. >i was in two wars and i knew it wasn't a missile or anything, but it was just it was just strange to see that in broad daylight. like i said, it was fiery orange with a blue tail and just coming straight down and broad daylight. beautiful day. and here's this big red thing coming out of the sky. just another day in south carolina. >sara>i mean, kind of the american meteor society says the daylight fireball could have been from a meteor shower that's typically active from late june to early july, and it peaks around june 25th. >first alert weather powered by kia. learn more at wkyc.com. kia, a movement that inspires. >sara>i have not seen anything like that with my own >paul>two eyes. oh, really? i mean, you've seen shooting stars before though, right? >sara>yeah, >>yeah, same thing, but on a much smaller basis. it's rare to see them in daylight like that. that means that was a sizable chunk of rock that

interacted with the earth's atmosphere. and yeah, you don't want to be right under that. apparently, a piece of it crashes some guy's roof in georgia. >sara>oh, >>yeah. once it broke up into fragments. so it did become little meteorites that they got to land somewhere. >sara>it's time to put it on ebay. >paul>if there's going to walk around with an umbrella from >sara>now on, >paul>like that will >sara>help. >>let's take a look at what's happening weather wise. we're in for a couple of little changes as we head to the end of the workweek. tomorrow. the fog is going to have a role in how the temperatures behave. the fog is going to be as persistent, but also the onshore breeze that's been persistent the last few days. it's going to be still onshore but lighter tomorrow, which means it's not going to be able to push that marine layer as far inland. and so the hotter temperatures off to our east through the central valley are going to have a better chance to kind of back up towards the bay area. here's what i mean by that. let's take a look at the temperature pattern from yesterday. and this is what we were seeing. let's see if we can get that out of the way. let's see if we can bring that in one more time. the winds were interfering with it. nope. doesn't want to do it. okay, let's take a look instead at the temperature pattern for

tomorrow and see if this one wants to show up. there we go. there's the hot weather through the central valley. was that worth waiting for? i don't know, we'll see that backing up towards us. so inland parts of especially the east bay are going to be heating up, but all in the parts of the bay area are going to reach into the 80s and 90s. as we head through the day tomorrow, let's take a look outside right now, and we are still seeing some fog in the distance. it's not going to be absent, but it's really going to be pretty confined to the coast and right around the bay. as we head through the rest of tonight, temperatures have mostly retreated to the 50s. the exception still 62 degrees right now in concord, but everybody will end up in the low to mid 50s by early tomorrow morning. let's turn back to the floor map and simulate that fog as we head through the rest of tonight. and it really is going to be confined to along the coast and inside the bay by early tomorrow morning, some of it trying to sneak up into the north bay valleys and into the santa clara valley. it's not going to last long at all. retreating to the coast by about 8 or 9:00, and even pulling away from the coast for at least a little while tomorrow. it's not going to really impact your temperatures at the coast, but it will at

least hopefully make it feel a little bit warmer. so our temperatures start off pretty close to normal. on the up close view, you get a better view of that warmer air, hotter air in the central valley, making more of a push to the west and kind of backing up against the diablo range. so the hottest temperatures are going to be into the delta and then eastern contra costa and alameda counties by tomorrow afternoon. let's talk about some specific numbers in santa clara valley, a mix of 80s and low 90s not out of control. hot for this time of year, but certainly warmer than we've been so far this week. temperatures east of the oakland hills. this is where we find the low to mid 90s. even the hottest spots though, staying below 100 degrees. and we don't take that for granted here. in early summer, temperatures around the bay kind of a mix of 70s and 80s for fremont and down the peninsula. redwood city with upper 60s in san francisco, one whopping degree above average and a mix of 80s and 90s. as you go farther inland in the north bay, those temperatures are going to be pretty persistent as we hit the first half of the weekend on saturday, and then we're in for some changes as we head into early next week, kind of back to a normal weather pattern for

the last couple days of june and much of the first week of july, temperatures inland kind of hovering in the 80s from monday through thursday of next week. now, farther down the line, a week from tomorrow, just beyond the scope of the seven day forecast is independence day. the long range data is pointing at a cooler than average pattern for the 4th of july holiday, which would also correspond to more stubborn and more widespread fog, which might have an impact on fireworks displays. too early to worry about any of that, just kind of making you aware of it well in advance. we'll keep an eye on the latest trends as we head through a pleasant last weekend of june. >sara>fog on the 4th of july in the bay. you >paul>don't. >>say thank you. with all the focus on the valkyries and the giants right now, you might have missed this. or maybe you didn't. the bay area's cricket team is on a major hot streak. the san francisco unicorns are now six and zero after a win over the seattle orcas last night. cricket is one of the biggest sports in the world, and it's starting to get more popular here in the bay area.

it comes as the oakland coliseum hosted its first major league cricket tournament, featuring the hometown san francisco unicorns. inside this pleasanton training facility, members of the minor league club san ramon grizzlies are working to sharpen their skills in hopes of achieving their big league dreams. we spoke with a couple of those up and coming players. >i saw my dad playing with his friends out in like the community parks, you know, so i gave it a shot. it's the energy, it's the passion, it's the competitive like environment. good. >sara>the san francisco unicorns next game is this saturday against the defending champions washington freedom at 1 p.m. verne. >vern>all right straight ahead in sports. giants momentum hit a speed bump. warriors set at the nba draft table and dealt. and the highest drafted bay area baller has landed closer than you may think. >he first half points four of seven from beyond the a

>>by >>buy >>that >>hey. baseball and the giants, boy, they better snap out of it quick before a ten day, ten game road trip. boy, i tell you what, they. boy, they got the best of it by the marlins today. let's roll it on up. marlins brought the broom to sweep hayden birdsong and the g-men check the birdsong slouch. he knew he gave up a third inning long ball to augustine ramirez. that two run homer made a hot, streaking marlins up five to nothing. they won five straight on the road. but then the g-men said, not so fast. in their third, rafael devers. when he gets one, it's no cheapie. his career 700 rbi openai san francisco scoring. it was 5 to 2. fourth inning. they threatened again and with two on, brett wisely delivered. this is off the wall and levi's landing giants came back and tied the game up at five. but the marlins kept attacking and they got to the giants bullpen and spencer bevins in the

fifth, a two run double to eric wagaman. the marlins scored seven more runs, one at 12 to 5, swept the giants. they won six straight on the road. well, the giants have lost eight of the last 11. and tomorrow giants again ten games in ten days, starting with the chicago white sox. manager bob melvin says he knows the boys in the clubhouse are aware of what's going on. >with the three. it's tough to have perspective from the beginning of the year to where we are right now. we are who we are and we feel like we're a lot better than we played these three games, so we're >were >>not in a horrible position yet. we, we, we feel like we're a better team than our record is right now. >vern>all right, nba draft day two. finally the warriors got to work first. they traded its 41st overall pick for picks 52 and 59. and then they traded their 59th pick for the 56. and then select a steph curry's new

teammate, forward alex toohey from australia, six foot eight forward averaged ten points and four rebounds with the sydney kings and the dubs also selected guard will richard out of florida. at 59, he played a key role for the gators run to the national championship earlier this year, but warriors general manager mike conley jr said he expects the team to take their time before asking. a lot of these rookies. >i'm willing to be wrong on this last few years. i've said it, you know, i don't expect these guys to have much of an impact as rookies. it's hard to do that. will's older, played a national championship team. and so maybe, maybe he's got a little bit of a shot. i mean, alex has played against pros in australia, so, sure, maybe these guys have a chance but don't want to bank on it. >vern>meantime, to stanford's maxine reynolds, the sacramento kings said ray. yes, they selected the seven footer with the 42nd overall selection. in the second round, reynolds averaged a double double. it
