@TinkerB94904544 We have city employees handling rapid response for illegal dumping & other issues, but we’re the most thinly staffed City Hall of any major city in the US—impacting m every basic service. So, I’ve led initiatives to employ unhoused residents & enlist nonprofit partners (eg SJCC) — PolitiTweet.org

@donaldsclark @SanJoseDOT @sjparksandrec We’re working on shutting down San Pedro St and possibly St John right now—working through issues like fire access, etc. Need a strong rebound w/ lots of residential density to support larger closure—retail & restaurants can’t survive w/o critical mass to bring foot traffic — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I joined hundreds of volunteers to help clean up San Jose. A huge thank you to our #BeautifySJ team members for assisting clean ups across the city at Arena Green, Confluence Point, Los Gatos Creek, Poco Way & Hoffman/Via Monte.

We all have a part to play in ending the violence against our AAPI communities. We must protect and defend the diversity that makes @CityofSanJose strong. As a community, we recognize that we need to do more than decry hatred and violence. #StopAAPIHate https://t.co/e9iTAoGeIn — PolitiTweet.org

@mkevane @michaeldlane @CityofSanJose @CasitaCoalition Michael, I’m sorry about these delays—we’re hearing more about these challenges. If you’re encountering more obstacles, please ping us to help: [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

@DukeLacrosse5 They’re right to be concerned, but the scientific studies and experts (eg Dr Fauci, CDC Director Walensky) repeatedly reinforce their safety in classrooms of children <10 years old. Differenr viruses behave differently. See, eg, the links I’ve cited here: https://t.co/oxtPdRVcdB — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@DukeLacrosse5 That’s not my word— how the editorial boards of three regional newspapers see it. My view is that we need to follow the science and the health guidance, and we’re not doing so now. — PolitiTweet.org

@Slevers Not “recently.” For many months, Federal, State & top research institution public health experts: have been virtually uniform in the view that elementary schools can be & have been safely opened throughout the US without vaccinations—except in California — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

For tonight's update, I'll focus on the COVID-19 vaccine & the County's announcement that they have temporarily stopped scheduling appointments for first doses due to a lack of supply. I'll also break down the American Rescue Plan + who will benefit. https://t.co/tQkkSxEEaJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Between federal and state sources, more than $20 billion will help California public schools to enable safe reopening. It's long past time for our local school boards to #ReopenSchools for our kids--particularly for our children who struggle the most. https://t.co/ZIFMkXnltq — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: We proposed the creation of a #ResilienceCorps to employ young adults w/ living wages at jobs w/ our NPO partners making SJ more resilient to COVID & climate change. Young adults suffer unemployment at 2x the national rate. They don't want a handout; they want a paycheck. https://t.co/g7dKjP6RFh — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@odraccils @tejera_liliana Whatever the expense, it’s a bargain compared to the cost of not housing and not employing unhoused residents. And drug treatment or mental health assistance will do nothing for a client who still lives under a bridge — PolitiTweet.org
