Protesters rallied outside of City Hall Saturday, voicing their concerns over the ongoing plans to redraw the map of the districts the San Francisco's Board of Supervisors represent.
Speakers at the rally focused on keeping the Tenderloin, South of Market and Treasure Island neighborhoods all a part of District 6. Currently, none of the proposed maps have all three remaining in the district.More than 100 people spoke both in person or virtually during the emotionally charged open session.
“I hope you guys won’t pit people against each other and start community wars,” one woman said during public comment session. “We urge the members of the task force to take their own process seriously,” one man said. “To consider the dreams and desires by the most impacted communities. Especially Black and Brown working class communities.”But some did voice support for other options and other maps.
While many speakers focused on why they believed a certain map was best for communities of interest and targeted any frustration at the task force, some attacked other members of the public with opposing views on the best map.
