Termed out District 6 Supervisor Chris Daly was honored Friday during an annual convention of low-income single residency tenants, tenants’ rights activists and advocates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really important that people take a moment and really think about what it has meant in District 6 to have Chris Daly as our supervisor,\u201d said Tenderloin Housing Clinic<\/a> Executive Director Randy Shaw during introductory remarks to as many as seventy attendees at the annual Central City SRO Collaborative<\/a> Convention (CSCC) held at Civic Center Library. \u201cHe\u2019s the best supervisor, I think, in San Francisco history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The convention program included entertainment from SRO tenants, speeches from TURN Executive Director Mark Toney, Shaw and Daly, an awards ceremony led by CSCC Executive Director Jeff Buckley, and workshop sessions dealing with bed bugs, tenants\u2019 rights, neighborhood issues, drug overdose prevention and mental health issues.<\/p>\n

Daly made a name for himself in 1995 working and living in the Mission District as a tenants’ rights activist, working against the forces of displacement and gentrification. In 2000, Daly ran and was elected to the open District 6 seat in large part because he engaged SRO dwellers in the district, a previously voiceless constituent bloc that had found in Daly a champion of\u00a0 their issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was really unusual, actually unprecedented, was I had never seen a candidate get elected to office whose position was, \u2018my top priority are the needs of SRO tenants,\u2019 Shaw said of Daly\u2019s 2000 campaign. \u201cIt\u2019s not like SRO tenants are big campaign donors. But what was amazing for me because I\u2019ve been around since 1980 and I\u2019ve seen a lot of campaigns, but, suddenly, this guy, Chris Daly, was going into the SROs trying to get votes, trying to get campaign volunteers. No one had ever done that before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw said it was Supervisor Daly who carried the agenda for the SRO community in City Hall, successfully pushing for the installation of fire sprinklers, relaxing guest visitation restrictions and pushing for the installation of secure and personal mailboxes. Daly\u2019s agenda also included increasing affordable housing opportunities as well as addressing issues around housing the homeless.<\/p>\n

During his short ten-minute, unprepared speech, Daly said, \u201cWe might be characters, misfits and outcasts, but clearly we\u2019ve got some talent. We\u2019ve got love from one another. We\u2019ve got love for our community – and for our City – and even though we are not supposed to win, even though we\u2019re not supposed to persevere, we do it anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daly said organizing around single residency occupancy hotels was about \u201cbasic dignity\u201d and about \u201cimproving the lives\u201d of the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you fight to improve your own lives and build communities and you go out of your way to make sure others \u2013 even when you\u2019re not benefiting \u2013 also have a fighting chance to make it in this town, that\u2019s solidarity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When an attendee called out \u201cI think you should run for mayor,\u201d Daly responded: \u201cLet me say this, other than no. When poor people unite, working class and the city\u2019s tenants \u2013 two-thirds of San Franciscans are tenants – when we unite together and when we\u2019re able to dissect the messaging and we were able to rally and organize, get out of the vote \u2013 when we are able to bring up our own leaders with political education, training\u2026 When we develop our own media, Poor News Network, collaboratives, tenants rights organizations – when we have friends who deliver affordable housing and those who fight for healthcare\u2026 when we have an agenda that is about meeting the needs of everyday people, honestly, we don\u2019t need me as a candidate, anyone of us in the room can be a candidate. But if we have a movement in this town that\u2019s pushing back against all this banking, Wall Street, financing craziness, craziness Tea Party stuff, and we\u2019re able to set an agenda that\u2019s about basic things; decent housing; services like healthcare; access to employment; decent jobs; taking care of our seniors and making sure our youth aren\u2019t left on the mean streets – if we have that kind of agenda, then you don\u2019t need me, we can do it without any single individual. We can do it together with all of us, because that\u2019s what it\u2019s about. That\u2019s the future of SROs in San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI ain\u2019t going far. I\u2019ll be around,\u201d Daly added. \u201cWhen you rally the Board of Supervisors at City Hall, I\u2019ll be out in the crowd with you championing in the name of justice. I\u2019m looking forward to that. Thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if he is considering running for higher office, Daly told FCJ: \u201cI\u2019m interested in a people\u2019s movement. If there was a race that made sense and there was some value added for me running, then I would consider it, but there is no race that I can see so, then, no. I\u2019m not looking to run for the sake of running, never was.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople from the progressive side \u2013 typically we\u2019re not in this for ourselves, though there are some exceptions. Folks from the other side of the aisle tend to be more about their careers and moving up the ladder. I\u2019m on the progressive side so it means I\u2019m not looking to run for anything unless it makes a lot of sense. Honestly there\u2019s nothing out there that makes very much sense at the moment,\u201d Daly added.<\/p>\n
