| Had a blast visiting students of Monroe Elementary! It was great to answer all their questions about our City. Thank you Principal Dr. Thor and Mr. Rosenberg for inviting me! |
I had an amazing time with Vision to Learn handing out glasses to kids at Gateway Middle School. We are so happy to have advocated for funding for providing vision screening, an eye exam aboard Vision To Learn’s mobile vision clinic, and – as needed - a pair of glasses, all free of charge. This is a phenomenal program!

| On Tuesday, I presented a special commendation to the Birth Companions Community Center that is located in my District in honor of Mother’s Day. They do amazing work to support the process of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care with professional Doulas with respect and cultural competency. Thank you for all that you do! |
| Great meeting with The San Francisco Alumnae Chapter and San Francisco Peninsula Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the “Divine 9” and more for their 2023 Advocacy Day at City Hall! |
| Clinic by the Bay gala with my constituent, Alma! Alma shared her story of how Clinic By The Bay helped her take care of her health. I’m proud to have this amazing organization in my district and look forward to cutting the ribbon later this year on the new facility on Onondaga. Thank you to Janet Reilly, Sarah Gordon, and the rest of the Board of Directors for your tireless efforts to bring free health care to working families who are uninsured. |

Supervisor Ahsha Safaí represents District 11. Ahsha is a passionate advocate for children and working families. He believes that change begins at the local level – in our neighborhoods - where people are most affected by government policies and programs. Ahsha’s career in public service began in his hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts working as an aide to a City Councilor. While studying at Northeastern University, under the tutelage of Governor Michael Dukakis, Ahsha learned first-hand the importance of effectively addressing local issues for the underrepresented. After graduating, Ahsha became an assistant to Loretta T. Avent, Deputy Director of Intergovernmental Affairs in the Clinton White House, addressing the multitude of issues facing Native Americans - further solidifying his commitment to be an advocate for underserved populations.
