San Francisco Board of Supervisors · BOS Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting - Feb 03, 2026 · 3 Feb 2026 meeting

Like many of you who spend time in Chinatown or Fillmore or Bayview, for Latinos, the mission is the center of culture and community.

And this building in particular connects us to our culture and community.

I dance Afro-Latino arts and dance is a very important part of my life and my family's life.

I've danced in Carnaval every year since I was 18 years old through three pregnancies and my girls dance now and they dance with me and it's a really important part.

of how we connect to our community and our culture.

And it happens at that building.

I just have to add that the struggles that the community has had in that building, in with funding with the city, and its relationship with the city would never have happened

if this had been the ballet or the opera.

I think it is a direct result of an underserved community that doesn't have as many resources, but desperately needs that connection to community, to culture, and the arts.

And so we've got to do better as a city, preserving the cultural communities of the rich diversity that is the fabric of our people.

everywhere in the city.

And we have to do better with how we have these relationships, the respect and the dignity that we offer to these communities.

And so thank you, colleagues, for taking it seriously.

Thank you, Supervisor Fielder, for introducing this resolution.

And the rest I submit.

Good afternoon, supervisors.

My name is Kylan Fowler.

I serve as the Community Relations Manager at San Francisco Community Health Center.

I urge you to consider this crucial importance of maintaining and enhancing gender affirming care and resources with our community.

At San Francisco Community Health Center, we have consistently answered calls during every health crisis, whether it comes from the Department of Health or whether it comes from a diverse community that we serve.
