she has her pronouns in uh not even just in bio but in her username she her hers and check out what she had to say in response to one of the members of the board of supervisors hillary ronan asking her about the mayor's comments uh i very much believe because we're getting hundreds of emails from from our constituents saying this and if you read all of the press uh in the mayor announcing this major effort in the tenderloin she has left the impression and has said it i believe that she will have police officers approach people that are very sick on the streets and say we are offering you treatment and if you don't go to treatment we're going to arrest you and put you in jail right now is that how this plan is going to work thank you supervisor that is that is not that is not how the plan is is being constructed and developed are our um four years ago when we did an operation like this in the mission when there were NUMBER_TOKEN tents we had a very very clear plan that was written out agreements made we knew exactly what was going to happen and so we haven't seen that yet for the tenderloin and so my my next question is what happens if someone says nope i'm not moving i want to stay here so it depends um this this is not of i mean this is a voluntary location what i disagree with vehemently is that criminalizing addicts is the way to solve the overdose and drug crisis i that's what i really disagree with and what i heard the mayor say in the press was that if people don't accept services that they will be now taken to jail and she said that i mean i i i can find the articles she said that and and what you're all describing to me is something completely different what you're describing to me is kind of what matt and i wrote for mental health sf which we obviously agree with because we wrote the law and when we've been trying to implement it over the past three years everyone's been telling us no we don't have the money we don't have the time we don't have the resources the pandemic has been has been delaying it and so that's why i am like really digging into this because i want to vote yes on this today believe me i i want it nothing i want nothing more than to but if you're going to arrest people it it it doesn't make sense our system can't handle it and so that's what i want you to tell me today that this is all about getting people a place to go to marshalling resources to open this linkage center which by the way i hope is the beginning of the mental health service center that we created in a piece of law that we've been begging you to implement for not you chief but the the city the department of public health to implement for years and we've been told there's not enough resources so so i need you to tell me and then although yes but i need you guys to tell us that what the mayor said was not true you are not going to arrest and incarcerate people that refuse to get services because they're sick can you tell me that okay supervisor what i can tell you is this yes the our we will engage with people and our objective is to get them to a better place it's as simple as
NO_SEGMENT_TOKEN
