Thank you, Pat Thurston, for having me on your show this Wednesday! It was delightful to join former California Public Utilities Commissioner Loretta Lynch and discuss my resolution urging Governor Gavin Newsom to hold PG&E accountable.
You can listen to the recording of Pat's show here.
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. For a list of vaccine sites, go to: sf.gov/getvaccinated.
Monkeypox
Yesterday, Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) announced a local emergency declaration to strengthen the City’s preparedness and response to the rapidly rising cases of Monkeypox. This action will expedite and streamline the availability of resources to better respond to this developing health emergency.

National Night Out
Community Updates
Outside Lands Returns August 5 - 7
The Outside Lands will take place the weekend of August 5 - 7, 2022. The Recreation and Park Department has been working closely with Another Planet Entertainment and other city agencies to address traffic flow, road closures, and so forth. If you have any inquiries before the festival weekend begins related to road closures, site restrictions in Golden Gate Park, or other general concerns, please send an email to community@sfoutsidelands.com.
As Outside Lands has done in years past, the event will have a Community Hotline to respond to any issues that may affect you during the festival. The hotline number is (415) 965-8001 and will be available:
Thursday, August 4
10:00 am - 6:00 pm
Friday, August 5 - Sunday, August 7
10:00 am - 11:00 pm
To help alleviate vehicle congestion, Outside Lands strongly encourages festival attendees to take alternative means of transportation to the festival, including Muni, private shuttles, biking or walking.
The event will have two dedicated tow trucks and one Parking Control Officer on each side of the Park to quickly respond to any blocked driveways or any other parking issues related to the festival. SF Rec & Park has printed signs alerting attendees to not block driveways, which may be obtained at the front desk of SFPD Richmond Station at 461 6th Avenue. If you need to have a vehicle towed, please call 311.
Family and friends caring for an adult living with complicated illness are invited to attend a free convening to learn, support, and share information about caregiving.
