DA Gacon (at the time) declined to file criminal charges against the officers. DA Jenkins let the attorney go who was working pm the case under Chesa Boudin.

No Towing Family Homes
No Cutting Child/Youth Housing
No Punishing and Silencing the Poor
For clarification: the Board voted on July 15 on Tuesday to pass the below items, but the final reading of the item where they may vote differently is Tuesday, July 22!!
The SF Board of Supervisors will hold a final vote on two crucial items, one that threatens to banish RV residents and another that would strip the supermajority requirement from Prop C, undermining the will of the people and likely lead to more cuts to family and youth housing.
Stripping the Prop C supermajority requirement is an unprecedented power grab by the Mayor in an effort to consolidate executive power and override the will of voters. Many voter initiatives have a supermajority provision, which allows for changes in allocations in exceptional circumstances when the need is widely agreed upon, while protecting against executive abuse of power.
The Mayor’s RV ban comes at a time when immigrant communities are threatened by increased criminalization and deportations by federal authorities. In a city of over 280,000 immigrants, the Mayor’s RV ban undermines our status as a sanctuary city and pushes immigrant families onto the streets, where they will face greater exposure to law enforcement and face encounters with ICE. Now more than ever, the city of San Francisco must offer crucial protections and support to immigrant communities and not compound to the dangers they face, by stripping them of their only housing.
Phone Action:
Call District 5 Supervisor Mahmood at 415-554-7630 and let him know his vote makes a difference! His vote could help preserve the will of the voters and protect from a mayoral power grab!
Call script:
Hello Supervisor Mahmood,
My name is _____ I live in District ____ and I am calling you to urge you to vote NO on the Mayor’s bid to eliminate supermajority requirements to reallocate a portion of OCOH Prop C housing funds. The mayor’s power grab comes as an unprecedented move that will make it easier to divert funds away from priorities voters approved in Prop C, including housing support for families with young children. Many voter initiatives have a supermajority provision which allows for changes in allocations in exceptional circumstances when the need is widely agreed upon, while protecting against executive abuse of power.
We urge you to vote no and protect the will of the voters and to protect future funds for homeless youth and families. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
