看看他們如何競選:布里德、羅偉在聚焦拉丁裔的 Mission 區市長論壇上針鋒相對

Read in EnglishMission Local 正在為市長競選中的每個主要競爭者發布競選報導,每週輪流報導候選人直到11月。本週:倫敦·布里德(London Breed)。閱讀先前的報導請點擊這裡。麥法恩(Mark Farrell)退場後,布里德市長和羅偉(Daniel Lurie)成為了最頻繁交鋒的對手。 這場活動是一個聚焦拉丁裔的論壇,由三藩市拉丁裔平等聯盟於週六上午在 Mission 街2665號的 Gray Area 舉辦。這座建於1940年代的前裝飾藝術風格大劇院迎來了100多名觀眾和13位市長候選人中的9位。在主持人邀請候選人上台前,現場播放了 La Doña 的 “Nada Me Pertenece” 等歌曲。四位主要候選人先上場,一小時後五位較弱勢的候選人接著登台。如同三藩市市長競選中常見的場景,當布里德的對手們提到過去在市政方面的成就時,布里德會立即反駁:這些成就是在她的政府、她的任期內、在她的支持下完成的。 現任市長似乎不願讓步,對李維斯繼承人兼非營利組織創始人羅偉的言論尤為不滿。「首先,我一直聽到台上的候選人說『我們做了什麼』。我們什麼都沒做。他們提到的許多人其實是與我和我的辦公室合作的,」當主持人、總部位於奧克蘭的 Unity Council 的 CEO Chris Iglesias 允許她回應對手的言論時,布里德說道。布里德指出羅偉聲稱他是台上「唯一真正按時建造可負擔住房」的人,提到了 Bryant 街833號的145套可負擔住房,這是在 SoMa 區在羅偉的非營利組織 Tipping Point 的協助下建造的。「當時那個項目獲得批准時,羅偉甚至還不在 Tipping Point 工作。是我的辦公室,我的團隊與非營利組織合作建造的,」布里德說。羅偉隨即反擊。「我很感謝市長在 Bryant 街833號的剪綵儀式上感謝我,」他說,引得觀眾一陣笑聲,而布里德面無表情。停頓片刻後,布里德補充道:「感謝的是 Tipping Point。」「好吧,」羅偉繼續說,「我接受。」在回答關於城市庇護政策的問題時,布里德簡短地表示了對該法律的支持——該法律禁止市政府與聯邦移民執法部門合作——隨後轉而再次攻擊羅偉。她說,在疫情期間,當城市的拉丁裔居民遭受創紀錄的感染率,比其他城市的拉丁裔情況更糟時,羅偉的非營利組織卻缺席了。「Tipping Point 在新冠疫情期間發放了超過8000萬美元,但在疫情高峰期拉丁裔社區最困難的時候,卻沒有一分錢給予提供這類服務的拉丁裔組織,」她說。「我覺得這很耐人尋味。」「看來今天我要不斷地反駁了,」輪到羅偉回應時他說道,不過他並沒有借此機會反駁市長的說法,而是簡單地表達了對庇護城市條例的支持。(所有候選人都表達了相同的立場。)這次論壇是選舉季中首次聚焦拉丁裔的活動,也標誌著候選人們開始最後衝刺。民調顯示競爭激烈,布里德和麥法恩領先,羅偉有望獲得第二選擇票而後來居上,而市參事會主席佩斯金(Aaron Peskin)和第11區市參事安世輝(Ahsha Safaí)的前景則不太明朗。迄今為止,市長競選已籌集了近2300萬美元,其中大部分流向了羅偉,他自籌600萬美元資助競選,並受益於另外600萬美元的政治行動委員會支出。布里德和麥法恩也有政治行動委員會支持,分別得到富有捐贈者230萬美元和130萬美元的支持。在開場陳述中,佩斯金和安世輝指出了資金競賽的不平衡。安世輝表示他將「為所有三藩市人而戰,而不僅僅是億萬富翁或億萬富翁的繼承人」,並提到了他的工會背景以及6歲時作為伊朗難民進入美國的經歷。他說經濟不平等正在「壓垮」三藩市。「我們不能只是一個分裂的城市。」佩斯金補充道:「我的大多數對手都得到了億萬富翁的支持,想必這就是他們將要為之奮鬥的人。」他特別談到了對住房的不同看法,表示他將根據州選票措施33號提案擴大租金管制,並優先建造可負擔住房而非「豪華住宅」。在隨後關於非營利組織的問題中,佩斯金提到了大財團 TogetherSF 的工作,並試圖將其與他的對手聯繫起來。這個由風險投資億萬富翁 Michael Moritz 支持的組織,正在推動一項昂貴的憲章改革措施以擴大市長權力——麥法恩利用這一點籌集了240萬美元的獨立支出競選資金——並有一個重塑市政廳的多年計劃。「這個城市有一個名叫 TogetherSF 的組織,由一群極右翼億萬富翁支持……這個組織在散播一種說法,即非營利服務提供者在偷竊城市的錢,」他說。「順便說一下,這個組織正在支持這場競選中的其他三位候選人。」布里德反駁道。她表示,雖然 TogetherSF 確實支持她——該組織將麥法恩排在第一位,布里德和羅偉排在後面,但幾乎沒有實質支持這兩人——但這只是「象徵性的支持」,該組織對三藩市「非常有害」。「他們一次又一次地攻擊我,」她說。「他們不斷散播負面信息,更重要的是,他們反對一些我們知道在做實事的優秀非營利組織。」在關於警務的問題上,Iglesias 問及「拉丁裔社區與執法部門之間長期緊張的關係」,很明顯自喬治·弗洛伊德事件以來,這座城市已經發生了變化:所有候選人都強調增加警力,儘管改革和「社區警務」是一條主線。「我在 Mission 區進行了三四次商戶走訪,每次都聽到他們希望有更多警察步行巡邏,」羅偉說,並補充道 Mission 區應該有更長期任職的警察局長——Mission 警察局在過去四年內換了五位局長。布里德則表示,「作為一個在這座城市長大、在公共住房中成長、與執法部門關係緊張的人」,她為三藩市警察局實施的司法部要求的272項改革感到自豪。她談到了警察替代計劃,以及通過從社區內部招募警察來「建立信任」。安世輝提到了他的立法,要求「城市的每個警區都制定社區警務計劃」,並表示他希望警察「走出警車,重新步行巡邏並與社區互動」。佩斯金也表達了類似的觀點,指出城市在華埠聘用了「具有文化和語言能力的警察」,這樣警察「就能知道店主的名字——而店主也知道他們的名字」。上午11點,論壇的第一部分結束,四位候選人離開舞台,與支持者握手並拍照。人群逐漸散去——約有一半人在五位弱勢候選人上台前離開。布里德慢悠悠地走向她的市政配發的雪佛蘭 Tahoe,被工作人員和其他人圍繞著,並受到自由論活動家 Starchild 的嘲諷。 Source: missionlocal.org

Cops talk gangs, sideshows at Mission Station community meeting

Sign up below to get Mission Local’s free newsletter, a daily digest of news you won’t find elsewhere. Sideshows were front-of-mind for community members who attended last night’s monthly meeting at the Mission Police Station. When newly appointed station captain Liza Johansen asked the attendees for questions and concerns, sideshows came up as a point of concern for many. Sideshows are unsanctioned car-related stunt shows, often involving huge crowds, loud noises and reckless driving. Many cause heavy traffic bottlenecks around the area and sometimes injuries. The Mission is no stranger to sideshows, however, over the past two years the numbers of stunt shows reported have been on the rise.  According to SFPD open data, 29 stunt shows or instances involving a stunt vehicle have been reported so far this year. Ten of these have taken place somewhere in the Mission. According to the […]

Mission artists to be evicted from longtime art warehouse

Back in the 1990s at the Engine Works building at Capp and 17th, B-boys danced, the Mission Burrito Project passed out food to the homeless, and members of the Mission School art movement hung out, including photographer David Schubert and artist Margaret Kilgallen, who painted a mural in the building (it’s since been removed). Fast forward two decades and the converted warehouse was still an arts scene: The beach goth band The Growlers performed secret concerts, punk rock bands recorded albums, and bike messengers idled between deliveries. Using the space now are an artist who paints sideshows and city life, a mechanical engineer who builds lighting contraptions with LEDs, and a DJ who creates digital art to be projected during performances.But now that legacy is threatened. The artists who live at Engine Works were recently notified that they are being evicted under the […]

Bill on street vending enforcement dies, and Mission vending ban

Nearly three months after Sen. Scott Wiener and Mayor London Breed announced the introduction of a California state bill that would have given police authority to ticket and even arrest people selling stolen goods, the legislation quietly died in the State Assembly.SB 925’s path in Sacramento was cut short on Aug. 15 when it was held under submission, a term used when members of a committee want further discussion. Wiener said, however, in plain words this means his bill is dead.The very next day, on Aug. 16, San Francisco took action by extending the Mission Street vending ban for another six months. The moratorium on street vending, which has been in place since Nov. 27, had been already extended early this year for six months and was set to end on Aug. 27.“I was very disappointed. It’s a high priority […]

March for undocumented rights heads through Mission Street

At chants of “Kamala escucha estamos en la lucha” and “Si se puede” — “Kamala, listen we’re in this fight” and “Yes we can” — about 100 people marched on Mission Street this afternoon on their way to City Hall, demanding a path to legalization for millions of undocumented immigrants.   The group started its 48-mile march in San Jose on Saturday with only one goal in mind: To send a clear message to presumed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris during the party’s national convention in Chicago to renew H.R. 1511. Volunteers march through Mission Street on their way to City Hall. “We want the law to be updated so it can provide legal status to millions of workers who contribute everyday to this economy,” said Xochilt Nuñez, a farmer who came from Fresno to participate in the march. “This is […]
