Demand to Lift the Injunction
Attention Mayor London Breed and Board of Supervisors: We oppose Judge Ryu’s injunction prohibiting our City from enforcing its laws against public camping and demand that our City fulfill its mandate to protect and serve San Francisco residents. We need our City leadership to deliver on sound solutions to get people off our streets. The current approach to address rampant addiction and mental illness on our streets has proven itself ineffective and is taxing our City’s funds and resources. Solutions …

Skateboard Sign and Ramps at Patricia’s Green
LAST UPDATE: December 21st We were prompted of a skateboard sign and ramps newly installed at Patricia’s Green. The sign installation was captured on Twitter. Definitely not a sign Public Works would post there. That’s not a Public Works employee. We don’t have unmarked white hardhats like that and there is no logo on the vest. This is some classic monkeywrenching going on. A continuation of what’s been taking place with the rogue skate ramps along Octavia Blvd adjacent to …
