She said the movement found success with the recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Conway and Dreyfuss donated to the 2022 recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dreyfuss did not respond to requests for comment regarding his recall donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We in the East Bay, which is a liberal bastion, is probably a nice target,” Quan said at the event. “If they can take down and divide our community, they don’t have to worry so much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan continued: “This is not just about the recalls. It’s about the control of the [Oakland] city council.

They blame Thao and Price for the surge in violent crime in Oakland since the pandemic. But recently, the number of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000598/oakland-police-say-violent-crime-is-down-but-guns-are-an-issue-in-west-oakland\">homicides, robberies and rapes\u003c/a> in the city has declined, according to Oakland police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a fundraising email last week, OUST defended itself against the claim that billionaires are running the recall. “Newsflash: people with resources invest in political causes,” the email read. “When those causes align with the will of the people, it can be a beautiful thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Tim Walz. However, as this is a convention, the party chose to embrace the pomp and circumstance. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed were on hand to participate in the pageantry, with Newsom giving a short speech before Harris’ home state cast their votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s the most diverse state in the world’s most diverse democracy. We pride ourselves on living together; we band together and prosper together across everything conceivable and imaginable,” said Newsom, as he stood beside a beaming Rep.

Maxine Waters and California Secretary of State Shirley Weber. “But the thing we pride ourselves on the most on is that we believe the future happens in California first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he’s watched, for over 20 years, “the future taking shape” as he saw Harris’ career unfold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I saw that star fighting for criminal justice, racial justice, economic justice and social justice.

As Harris prepares to accept the Democratic nomination for president, a group of her longtime confidants \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000901/they-knew-kamala-before-she-was-like-famous\">spoke with KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a> at a Chicago hotel near the convention to reflect on the campaign that started it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=KQINC2936791874\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Meeting Kamala Harris\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Debbie Mesloh, campaign volunteer and later Harris’ communications director: \u003c/strong>I met Kamala in 2000. I met her the night of the reelection for Sen. Feinstein, who I was working for at the time, and she was a guest to a very small dinner by Louise Renne, our first female city attorney. Kamala was working for her at the time, and we had an amazing conversation, and I realized she was going to do big things. And I made up my mind to be a part of that if I could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Heidi Sieck, campaign volunteer: \u003c/strong>I met Kamala in 2003. There were like eight people at this house party. It was on the back patio, it was raining, it was kind of dingy. And we were just kind of standing there, and all of a sudden, this young woman comes in. She gets this, like milk carton or crate, and she steps up on it and gives this speech about transformation of criminal justice reform that I had never heard before because it was such a new, fresh perspective. And I was like, who is this woman? And I was all in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matthew Rothschild, Harris’ colleague in the city attorney’s office\u003c/strong>: We were both on senior staff at the time. We’d go for coffee and talk about, you know, gossip, what was going on in city politics and what was going on in just our personal lives. I got to know her, and that’s when she told me she was thinking about running for district attorney. And would I help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rebecca Prozan, campaign manager\u003c/strong>: I had just graduated from law school, and I was supposed to start a job at a firm, and she called. It was two weeks before Labor Day. So, during the interview, I said, “So, have you done any recent polling?” Again, mind you, this is a week before Labor Day. And [Harris] said, “I’m at 8%.” And the election is in November. It’s literally just like this [year]: she had 70 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The 2003 campaign\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> She was always the key ingredient. Because she was so good, she could be anywhere. She could talk to Black voters in the Bayview. She could go to Pacific Heights. She could go to women’s groups. The LGBT community loved her. San Francisco could see who she was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sieck: \u003c/strong>The passion that the volunteers had in that short amount of time was absolutely infectious. I totaled my car running precincts for her in the runoff, and I just left my car on the side of the road and kept running precincts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> Thanksgiving, I was like, the team needs a day off. This is between the first election and the [Dec. 9] runoff. And just to get her to take the time off was a thing. And then, Wednesday at noon, she says, “No, I need to go to Costco. I need to go to Costco and shake every hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Harris’ mother, Shyamala Gopalan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild:\u003c/strong> I met [Shyamala] at the campaign headquarters in 2,003, and we hit it off right away. She had a great sense of humor. Kamala definitely got her love of cooking, her laugh, the way she would move her shoulders. And she was interested in you. And, Kamala, she could see that we were becoming good friends. She sort of made sure I knew that when [Shyamala] calls you, make sure you understand her phone calls were never short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=news_12000691 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GettyImages-2166686058-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mesloh:\u003c/strong> When you walked into the campaign office in 2003, which was in the Bayview — she’s still the only citywide San Francisco [candidate] to have an office in the Bayview for an election — Shyamala would be there every day. And it reminds me of Kamala that Shyamala could give a brilliant strategy, or she could stuff a letter. Nothing was too big or too small. She was a worker, and she was like, this needs to be done, and I’m going to work extremely hard to make it happen. And Kamala has that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild:\u003c/strong> Kamala’s other campaign manager with Rebecca was Jim Rivaldo, who was also Harvey Milk’s campaign manager. And he was sick at the time. And when Jim died, when I went to see him the last time, Shyamala was with me.

As Harris prepares to accept the Democratic nomination for president, a group of her longtime confidants \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000901/they-knew-kamala-before-she-was-like-famous\">spoke with KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a> at a Chicago hotel near the convention to reflect on the campaign that started it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=KQINC2936791874\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Meeting Kamala Harris\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Debbie Mesloh, campaign volunteer and later Harris’ communications director: \u003c/strong>I met Kamala in 2000. I met her the night of the reelection for Sen. Feinstein, who I was working for at the time, and she was a guest to a very small dinner by Louise Renne, our first female city attorney. Kamala was working for her at the time, and we had an amazing conversation, and I realized she was going to do big things. And I made up my mind to be a part of that if I could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Heidi Sieck, campaign volunteer: \u003c/strong>I met Kamala in 2003. There were like eight people at this house party. It was on the back patio, it was raining, it was kind of dingy. And we were just kind of standing there, and all of a sudden, this young woman comes in. She gets this, like milk carton or crate, and she steps up on it and gives this speech about transformation of criminal justice reform that I had never heard before because it was such a new, fresh perspective. And I was like, who is this woman? And I was all in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We’d go for coffee and talk about, you know, gossip, what was going on in city politics and what was going on in just our personal lives. I got to know her, and that’s when she told me she was thinking about running for district attorney. And would I help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rebecca Prozan, campaign manager\u003c/strong>: I had just graduated from law school, and I was supposed to start a job at a firm, and she called. It was two weeks before Labor Day. So, during the interview, I said, “So, have you done any recent polling?” Again, mind you, this is a week before Labor Day. And [Harris] said, “I’m at 8%.” And the election is in November. It’s literally just like this [year]: she had 70 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The 2003 campaign\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> She was always the key ingredient. Because she was so good, she could be anywhere. She could talk to Black voters in the Bayview. She could go to Pacific Heights. She could go to women’s groups. The LGBT community loved her. San Francisco could see who she was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sieck: \u003c/strong>The passion that the volunteers had in that short amount of time was absolutely infectious. I totaled my car running precincts for her in the runoff, and I just left my car on the side of the road and kept running precincts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prozan:\u003c/strong> Thanksgiving, I was like, the team needs a day off. This is between the first election and the [Dec. 9] runoff. And just to get her to take the time off was a thing. And then, Wednesday at noon, she says, “No, I need to go to Costco. I need to go to Costco and shake every hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Harris’ mother, Shyamala Gopalan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rothschild:\u003c/strong> I met [Shyamala] at the campaign headquarters in 2,003, and we hit it off right away. She had a great sense of humor. Kamala definitely got her love of cooking, her laugh, the way she would move her shoulders. And she was interested in you. And, Kamala, she could see that we were becoming good friends. She sort of made sure I knew that when [Shyamala] calls you, make sure you understand her phone calls were never short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In other words, a waitlist for basic security and dignity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin’s plan would use existing funding sources — a statewide mental health bond and a San Francisco tax to fund homeless services — to open new housing and treatment beds in reactivated state and county-run hospitals and treatment centers. He is also backing Proposition G on the November ballot, which would amend the city’s charter to use general funds to subsidize housing for extremely low-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reducing evictions and keeping tenants in their homes is another pillar of the plan. Peskin said he would expand rent control to about 40% more San Francisco apartments that currently don’t have it, create a fund for emergency loans of up to $2,000 for people facing eviction, and expand other rent-relief programs for families facing eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not pie in the sky. And I am ready to implement it on day one to make significant progress on day one in the area of homelessness, which is the most important issue that San Francisco faces for both our housed residents and unhoused residents,” Peskin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mayor Art Agnos endorsed Peskin’s plan on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=news_12000285 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/231017-LakeMercedRVs-019-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each mayor comes up with their own program depending on the politics of the times they are in office rather than what’s in the best interest of the homeless,” Agnos said. “This complicated, unpopular social challenge needs smart management with services aimed at strengthening our current system to honestly help people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin’s plan comes as San Francisco ramps up citations and sweeps of unhoused people who refuse to move from city streets. Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996234/sf-mayor-says-very-aggressive-encampment-sweeps-will-start-in-august\">promised the crackdown\u003c/a> after the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that cities can remove tent encampments on sidewalks and other public places and force people to move even if there is no alternative place for them to go, like a temporary shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recently directed street crews that clear encampments to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998474/breed-orders-sf-homeless-outreach-workers-to-offer-relocation-out-of-city-before-shelter\">first offer people bus tickets home\u003c/a>, a resource the city has had since 2005 but recently began promoting again. Peskin said he would broaden that program, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed has also been working for years to open up places for unhoused people to go. Since 2018, when she entered office, San Francisco’s shelter slots have expanded by over 60% and housing for formerly homeless people has increased by more than 50%, according to the mayor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, without enough places for people to go, Peskin and advocates for unhoused residents say the recent crackdown has mostly amounted to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000781/sf-encampment-crackdown-gets-tents-but-not-people-off-the-streets-neighbors-say\">moving people around from block to block\u003c/a> rather than helping people exit the streets for longer-term housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have received as a supervisor more complaints about homelessness in the last 10 days than I have in the last several years,” Peskin said, adding, “I have never gotten complaints about homelessness on Pacific and Leavenworth. I’m getting them now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

In other words, a waitlist for basic security and dignity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin’s plan would use existing funding sources — a statewide mental health bond and a San Francisco tax to fund homeless services — to open new housing and treatment beds in reactivated state and county-run hospitals and treatment centers. He is also backing Proposition G on the November ballot, which would amend the city’s charter to use general funds to subsidize housing for extremely low-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reducing evictions and keeping tenants in their homes is another pillar of the plan. Peskin said he would expand rent control to about 40% more San Francisco apartments that currently don’t have it, create a fund for emergency loans of up to $2,000 for people facing eviction, and expand other rent-relief programs for families facing eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not pie in the sky.

Since 2018, when she entered office, San Francisco’s shelter slots have expanded by over 60% and housing for formerly homeless people has increased by more than 50%, according to the mayor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, without enough places for people to go, Peskin and advocates for unhoused residents say the recent crackdown has mostly amounted to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000781/sf-encampment-crackdown-gets-tents-but-not-people-off-the-streets-neighbors-say\">moving people around from block to block\u003c/a> rather than helping people exit the streets for longer-term housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have received as a supervisor more complaints about homelessness in the last 10 days than I have in the last several years,” Peskin said, adding, “I have never gotten complaints about homelessness on Pacific and Leavenworth.
