I'm joined by @chappiejones, @MattMahanSJ, @CM_Magdalena & partners to announce my proposal for a Resilience Corps, creating jobs for young adults in low-income neighborhoods to boost our communities resilience to pandemic + climate change & econ recovery. https://t.co/7W0s0jlPyO — PolitiTweet.org

@SonaliVaid @ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal @Isabelwilkerson Happy to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal @GenderAvenger We have been told that a prominent woman of color will be added to the panel. I’ll allow the publication/host to make that announcement — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal That’s not feasible for large-city mayors—they typically try to nail down our appearance/ scheduling before they go to the others — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@chokingsounds unhoused residents cleaning around encampments are paid by city to clean up under direction of @GoodwillIntl and @DowntownStreets in a program. Those portapotties and washing stations you see are provided by the city as well, and we’ve perm housed > 1700 unhoused in last year — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@tejera_liliana We have two very successful pilot programs underway that have removed tens of tons of trash, and moved two dozen unhoused people into jobs with other employers. I am pushing to expand those pilots now — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal Good question—i didn’t know who would be on the panel when they asked me to speak. I’ll find out. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@HaroldHughes16 I don’t. The data does. It’s a glaring gap, and I can’t ignore it — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@lookalizard @BWheatleySJUSD @SJTAPres @SanJoseUnified Actually, have been pushing for several months—I wrote this op-ed to urge state action five months ago, and we led 11 large city mayors to sign a public letter to the state since. https://t.co/oxtPdRDAP1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Today I joined #SiliconValleyStrong volunteers to clean up trash & blight in our city. Join the movement & help improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Connect w/ #BeautifySJ events to clean up our streets, parks, & creeks (https://t.co/5KcDKFZhbz). https://t.co/N9UrCw0U6Y — PolitiTweet.org

@TinkerB94904544 The article is conflating apples (FBI UCR rates for the largest US cities m) w/ oranges— (a 2019 link to a report that merely rankings of cities of all sizes.) We remain among the very safest big cities in America per FBI data& we just added 40+ officers 3 weeks from Academy — PolitiTweet.org

RT @Blipkin: Couldn't agree more with @sliccardo and @JerryDyerFresno! These mayors see the benefits that #HSR can bring by connecting our… — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

I'm thankful for the collaboration between @StanfordMed, the @CityofSanJose, & @SCCgov for working together to vaccinate our underserved neighborhoods. This mass vaccination site will help address the stark disparities in vax rates in East SJ. https://t.co/jBrvVeoKGV — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

For today's update, I'll focus on volunteer opportunities in SJ. Join me in upcoming #BeautifySJ events to clean up our streets, parks & creeks (https://t.co/5KcDKFZhbz) or w/ vaccination outreach to provide vax info to residents (https://t.co/phzpZYpWfP). https://t.co/GneYmdUXmr — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@CalvinW98290762 Understood—we’re hearing that loud and clear. A proposal in sideshows is coming to council in the next two weeks — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

I'm grateful to the volunteers I joined yesterday to sign our neighbors up for the COVID-19 vaccine (https://t.co/TD5L5v5g98). We must all pull together & ensure our residents are receiving critical vax info + services. Sign up for vaccination outreach: https://t.co/kLTdwXjxGi. https://t.co/YYNAvGMsqi — PolitiTweet.org

@michaeldlane @HousingTrustSV @SVatHome Thank YOU @michaeldlane for leading the charge!!! — PolitiTweet.org

@megan55733534 @CABigCityMayors @LibbySchaaf @LondonBreed @Mayor_Steinberg @MayorToddGloria @JerryDyerFresno @karenkgoh @MayorLockDawson I’m pushing to get there. Trying to put one foot in front of the other — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Thank you @SVatHome & great partners like @HousingTrustSV for your work (& our voters for their faith!) to pass March ‘20’s only successful housing measure in the Bay Area, now providing $40m for affordable housing solutions @CityofSanJose — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

I want to thank our Congressional delegation for championing the @bartsv Phase 2 project connecting SJ to OAK & SF. I look forward to working w/ our Congressional leaders to locate funding that will enable us to transform 100K auto drivers into BART riders. https://t.co/SKdOQ9qe9b — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@acantwell @CDCgov County & State have responsibility, but as they will tell you, it’s actually very difficult to do well w/high community spread. Per this article, conventional contact tracing methods can be a suboptimal allocation of scarce resources https://t.co/u4bruOw2oo — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@Buurrrrrito @CaltransD4 Thanks. Please join us in urging CalTrans to step up to clean their freeways in our city— i see far cleaner freeways in other California cities, and we shouldn’t settle for any less service than other cities’ residents receive from @CaltransD4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@mrpaoloespiritu @thegroovesj Please read my reply from the day before — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Today, I had the honor of swearing in more volunteers to support our County’s vaccination outreach efforts w/ info + services that directly save lives. I am proud to live in a City where so many residents give themselves to help our neighbors in this moment. #SiliconValleyStrong https://t.co/98AaAHpWWt — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Join me for an update on COVID-19 cases, recent & anticipated changes in public health orders, & vaccines (https://t.co/TD5L5v5g98). I'll also discuss the $6.6B budget package to safely reopen schools. https://t.co/EjrtCHD31D — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@LindenHBraulor @HealthySCC @CAPublicHealth Can you please provide us your contact info so we can follow up? [email protected]. Thank you! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@NaazSLP @GavinNewsom Completely agree that the science has been clear about the safety of opening elementary schools. That’s why I have been so vocal on this issue. Cities don’t have any control over the decisión, however — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@rowanf Thanks Reverend. We launched our program several months ago, after three years of working with County and nonprofit partners to get it started — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@thegroovesj Agreed—we have much work to do. I’m pushing for a return of foot patrol in my budget message next week, and have urged SJPD to put together a plan for restoring safety as people return to work.

We also honor local pioneer Jerry Lawson for #BlackHistoryMonth . Lawson, self-taught engineer, led the creation of the first home-console video games in the 70’s at Fairchild, launching an industry. https://t.co/IfStCb0HWu — PolitiTweet.org
