london breed: hello, everyone. i am really excited to be here at manny's, with manny, who is not just the owner of this really wonderful space, but a commissioner with sharky on our small business commission, when we put these two together, they make magic happen, and part of that magic is really advocating fiercely for small businesses in san francisco. throughout the pandemic, they have been key for pushing for supports and fee and permit waivers for a number of small businesses in san francisco, especially for the people that they play. in san francisco, i'm proud that we stepped up early on. we waived fees, we provided grants and loans and no interest loans and other resources to small businesses. in total, san francisco has provided about $75 million throughout the course of this pandemic, not including state and federal resources, but to help our small business community. last week, i was in japantown, announcing an additional $10.6 million in grants for small businesses who could not get access to p.p.p. loa

london breed: we came back from that. you all remember how dark is used to be at the embarcadero, and we took what was a tragedy for our city, and we created something amazing and something beautiful, light and hope, as a result of the darkness, and that's the same thing that we're going to do as a result of this pandemic. you know, we are here in this community, opening yet another site because the people of this community, and in particular, the latino community, they have been the hardest hit by this pandemic not just in san francisco by in the state. so when you look at equity, and you talk about who is most impacted, the latino community, representing over 12% of the population, yet over 40% of those who were diagnosed with covid and over 20% of those who passed away because of covid, these latino task force and a number of organizations in this community, they met with me, and the stories that i heard were very heartbreaking because we as a city thought with some of our programs, our recovery and resources we were p

london breed: good energy. >> so we have a special surprise guest. state assemblyman david chiu will be making a couple of marks. >> good morning, san francisco. we ready to shop locally? all right. so usually, i'm in sacramento on a wednesday, but i happened to be in town for a few hours, and i got the word this is happening. i have to tell you, i am so excited about this challenge, and the mayor, i know, has laid out just how incredibly challenging it has been for our small businesses. in chinatown, a year ago, in february, the small businesses in our country's oldest and most historic chinatown reported a 50% drop in business because of the expectation that, somehow, covid was floating around chinatown, and that has impacted not just that neighborhood but every commercial corridor in our city. i think the stats are close to 60% drops in revenues in small businesses in our city. so when i was contacted by sharky and ben bleiman and others about this idea, it's brilliant, but i know it's going to take a commitment, and i will tell you, as i was runn

kyaw win is the executive director of the burma human rights network based in london. he says it's time the uk government took action this is totally unacceptable. i think, of course, we have to speak at some level to a civilised way to explain this military regime, that the vicious military regime to tell them that this not burma, this is london, this is uk. so we urge the uk government, to use every possible way that this is not the right thing to do. yes, because these actions are clearly disrespecting the ambassador but the host country and some kind of challenge is really to the uk. do you expect the uk will actually take action? i have a confidence that it is time to show the muscle, right, because this is on our soil. i mean, something is the limit but they have crossed the limit, so we have to tell them that that's not going to be business as usual, the way they are killing every day basis in burma and showing their ruthlessness and the same practice they are doing on our soil in uk, that's not going to be accepted. the us state department has officially declar

the arms race gave london free armament. it was defensive weapons to the africans but destabilizing africa and making those ethnic groups fall so that then they could be enslaved. >> that's one of the stories of this book which is what happens to africa, particularly west africa but not exclusively west africa because a significant percentage of african-americans are from east africa inmozambique, the country i just made reference towards .what happens is as noted that there's a certain congruently with regard to western europeans. if you look at your map you'll see western europe is not very day compared to the rest of europe which is mostly russia or even to say africa for example. so they're living together cheek by jowl. there's ethnic conflict tween and amongst them which leads towards the sun helps to give rise to a kind of nascent military industrial complex so that you can fight your antagonist but as noted those are fungible ills that can be easily deployed against africans and against indigenous populations of the

londoners who are currently furloughed. i'm determined to have a brighter future after the pandemic, with a city that's greener, safer and more equal. whoever is elected, restarting a shuttered capital won't be easy. will spaces that have sat empty refill with tourists? will the service economy find customers to serve? will new home workers now stay at home, or is there an opportunity for something different? a shift to homeworking is going to have a massive impact on our capital and i haven't heard anyone else talking about what we're going to do with all this empty space. we don't want to be looking back in a year's time and thinking we've left areas to languish when we had a real opportunity to think about that space creatively and to finally solve our housing crisis. others are hoping london's challenge means their message has found its moment. we've got to recover from the pandemic in a way that is truly green — that helps us to achieve our climate targets and creates a more fair and a more equal city, one that reall
