Dès le lendemain de l'élection de Trump, les prix de l'immobilier augmentaient à San Francisco, mais ce ne sont pas les seules inquiétudes des San Franciscains.
Le Board des Supervisors a réagi.
The San
Francisco Board of Supervisors recently passed a resolution, introduced by
Board President London Breed, in response to the election of Donald Trump. The resolution reads as follows:
WHEREAS,
On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected to become the 45th President of
the United States; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED,
That no matter the threats made by President-elect Trump, San Francisco will
remain a Sanctuary City. We will not turn our back on the men and women from
other countries who help make this city great, and who represent over one third
of our population. This is the Golden Gate—we build bridges, not walls; and, be
it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That we will never back down on women’s rights, whether in
healthcare, the workplace, or any other area threatened by a man who treats
women as obstacles to be demeaned or objects to be assaulted. And just as
important, we will ensure our young girls grow up with role models who show
them they can be or do anything; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That there will be no conversion therapy, no withdrawal of rights in
San Francisco. We began hosting gay weddings twelve years ago, and we are not
stopping now. And to all the LGBTQ people all over the country who feel scared,
bullied, or alone: You matter. You are seen; you are loved; and San Francisco
will never stop fighting for you; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That we still believe in this nation’s founding principle of
religious freedom. We do not ban people for their faith. And the only lists we
keep are on invitations to come pray together; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That Black Lives Matter in San Francisco, even if they may not in the
White House. And guided by President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century
Policing, we will continue reforming our police department and rebuilding trust
between police and communities of color so all citizens feel safe in their
neighborhoods; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That climate change is not a hoax, or a plot by the Chinese. In this
city, surrounded by water on three sides, science matters. And we will continue
our work on CleanPower, Zero Waste, and everything else we are doing to protect
future generations; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That we have been providing universal health care in this city for
nearly a decade, and if the new administration follows through on its callous
promise to revoke health insurance from 20 million people, San Franciscans will
be protected; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That we are the birthplace of the United Nations, a city made
stronger by the thousands of international visitors we welcome every day. We
will remain committed to internationalism and to our friends and allies around
the world—whether the administration in Washington is or not; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That San Francisco will remain a Transit First city and will continue
building Muni and BART systems we can all rely upon, whether this
administration follows through on its platform to eliminate federal transit
funding or not; and, be it
FURTHER
RESOLVED, That California is the sixth largest economy in the world.
The Bay Area is the innovation capital of the country. We will not be
bullied by threats to revoke our federal funding, nor will we sacrifice our
values or members of our community for your dollar; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That we condemn
all hate crimes and hate speech perpetrated in this election’s wake. That
although the United States will soon have a President who has demonstrated a
lack of respect for the values we hold in the highest regard in San Francisco,
it cannot change who we are, and it will never change our values. We argue, we
campaign, we debate vigorously within San Francisco, but on these points we are
100 percent united. We will fight discrimination and recklessness in all its
forms. We are one City. And we will move forward together.
