July 19, 2010<\/p>\n

Outgoing District 6 Supervisor Chris Daly held a symposium Saturday in what was billed as an opportunity to reflect and build upon progressive successes, but was also an opportunity for community groups and activists to celebrate and honor Daly\u2019s activism and achievements as the most influential Supervisor in recent San Francisco history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the symposium was for was to really let the people who are involved in the big struggles of the last ten years take the main stage and talk about their experiences,\u201d Daly said during an interview following the symposium held at the Herbst Theater. \u201cIt was also meant to promote this partnership model that I discussed in my column on Fog City Journal<\/a> this past week where grassroots community efforts really teamed up with those of us that have been elevated into the corridors of power in City Hall in order to form this coalition – to address real issues whether it be Trinity Plaza, Rincon Hill, Bessie Carmichael, all of the housing issues, the budget issues etcetera.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what we heard ring loud and true the voices from everyday people who are leaders in their communities and leaders in terms of citywide politics as well, that we need to continue to fight on these issues in this way,\u201d Daly added.<\/p>\n

Those voices included activists involved in improving living standards for single residency occupancy tenants, Bessie Carmichael Elementary School parents and education faculty, housing justice advocates, Trinity Plaza residents, labor leaders and a host of other individuals including Budget Committee Chair John Avalos.<\/p>\n

The symposium attracted as many as 200 residents to the event. Most of those in attendance were eager to honor the man who, after election to the Board of Supervisors in 2000, provided a powerful and sustained voice for issues and causes that would have otherwise been ignored.<\/p>\n

As many as 200 San Francisco residents attended the symposium.<\/p><\/div>\n

San Francisco Sentinel Editor Pat Murphy, who fell out with Daly several years ago, attended the event and was observed clapping in recognition of Daly\u2019s achievements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a way this is little bit of a period piece, but he deserves it,\u201d said candidate for District 6 Supervisor Jim Meko. \u201cIt was a great big thank you for all that he\u2019s done. When you compare City Hall before Chris Daly and City Hall after Chris Daly, it\u2019s incredibly impressive what he has done. We can never go back. Once you let people into City Hall like he did, you can never turn back. They have a stake in City Hall now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can come close to addressing the social issues as sensitively and as strongly as he did, I\u2019ll feel good about it. To really bring representation for the poorest of the poor and the neediest and the most unrepresented to City Hall, the era that we\u2019re moving into starts off with that as a given. We\u2019ve got to move on from there to be more inclusive, to bring the district together better than it is right now, and that is going to be the struggle of this campaign coming up,\u201d Meko added.<\/p>\n

Other District 6 candidates in attendance included Jane Kim, James Keys and Debra Walker. Keys and Kim used the symposium to gather campaign signatures from attendees and passersby.<\/p>\n

During opening remarks, Daly said the work he is most proud of is improving the lives of the most vulnerable, particularly the lives of people who live in single resident occupancy hotels. He called the advancements in living conditions \u201ctransformational\u201d and \u201crevolutionary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s very few things I\u2019m more proud of than my work with hotel residents over the last 15 years here in San Francisco,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Supervisor Chris Daly.<\/p><\/div>\n

Daly championed the construction and transformation of Bessie Carmichael Elementary School, which previously held lessons in 40s-era bungalows with leaky roofs. Daly said students told him the toilets were in such bad condition they were \u201cembarrassed to go to the bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a \u201ccomplete situation of injustice and the community organized long before I was elected, and through our partnership, we were able to build a new school and a new park,\u201d he said, referring to Victoria Manalo Draves Park named in honor of the Olympian and gold medalist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daly also responded to the plight of residents of Trinity Plaza<\/a> who faced eviction, protecting them from displacement and negotiating rent-controlled protections in a replacement apartment complex developed by real estate speculator Angelo Sangiacomo.<\/p>\n

It was \u201can amazing Herculean effort by everyday people to save their rent-controlled homes, a struggle that I think shows everything that is good about people power in District 6,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Daly also led efforts to mitigate community impacts by luxury condominium high-rise developer One Rincon Hill<\/a>, successfully negotiating $20 million in community stabilization funds.<\/p>\n

In closing, Daly said: \u201cWe\u2019ve really built a very vibrant, powerful, unapologetic movement that I have been happy to work with and represent at City Hall. When you see me next time and you ask me what I\u2019m doing after this, be ready for me to ask you, \u2018What are we doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he is ready to endorse a successor in the District 6 race, Daly demurred, saying, \u201cWell, today is not about that. Today was about drawing from the strength of the last ten years and learning from it and moving forward, and maybe tomorrow – the figurative tomorrow – maybe tomorrow we can take some next steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Nick Pagoulatos from MAC (Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition) said, \u201cWhat we have now, which we didn\u2019t before, is an organized movement that has experience, that has leadership - and it has a plan and a vision of how things should be, but also how they have been as a result of the changes that the community put in place and made happen beginning ten years ago.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
