Fund our AAPI Communities

Earlier this month, I introduced legislation to allocate $118 million to invest in the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community. The legislation, known as the API Equity Fund, is a multi-million dollar investment in Asian and Pacific islander communities and non-profits over the next 2 years.

Our communities have been under attack – this is why the API Equity Fund is necessary to invest in communities so we can recover equitably. This investment will help stabilize the communities who are often significantly displaced during economic downturns.

COVID Updates & Resources

The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) announced earlier this week that with federal and state approvals and recommendations, the COVID-19 vaccine is now available for children ages 6 months to 4 years.

Most families and caregivers will be able to access vaccines for this age group through their health system providers, pediatricians, and select pharmacies; individual providers will begin outreaching to their patients directly to book appointments.

To ensure equitable access to vaccines, SFDPH will begin offering COVID-19 vaccines to families who need them at SFDPH-operated and neighborhood sites, including the San Francisco Health Network (SFHN) and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) starting Wednesday. For a list of vaccine sites, go to: sf.gov/getvaccinated.

DPW’s New Trash Cans

This summer, San Francisco Public Works will place prototypes of their next generation public trash cans on the street for real-life testing. PW wants to hear your views on the next public trash can, so community members will have the opportunity to evaluate the trash cans and give input into the final selection.

During the 60-day test period, custom and off-the-shelf models will be placed in neighborhoods around the City. Each prototype trash can will have a QR code affixed to its exterior. The QR code will connect people to an online survey which will be in English, Chinese, Tagalog, and Spanish.

Stay tuned for a special website where you'll be able to give your feedback!
