Thanks.
Okay.
San Francisco Government Television.
Thank you, President Mandelman.
Colleagues, today we are honoring batters up, guns down.
Roshan, if you could come up to the podium.
I am proud to recognize the incredible community leadership behind Batters Up, Guns Down, the whole movement, which began in April 2021 as a simple idea.
A Facebook post inviting people to come together for a Sunday softball game at Gilman Park has grown into something much more powerful, a movement that brings neighborhoods together
builds relationships across cities, and creates safe, positive spaces for our community.
Under the leadership of Roshan Despany and Randy Taylor, Hot City Frisco turned that vision into action.
What started as one team quickly grew into multiple teams and regular community games that now welcome players and families from across
San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, East Palo Alto, Redwood City, San Bruno, and beyond.
These gatherings are about more than softball.
They're about connection, healing, and reminding us that we are stronger when we come together as one community.
Batters Up, Guns Down represents the belief that prevention starts with opportunity.
By creating a space where people of all ages can come together, compete, laugh, and support one another, this movement is helping provide alternatives for youth and mentorship for the next generation.
It shows that something as simple as a game can build trust, foster leadership, and open doors for young people who need positive outlets and guidance.
Their work also reminds us that violence prevention is not just about policy, it is about people, relationships and community.
It is about showing up consistently, creating safe environments and investing in programs that uplift our neighborhoods.
Through softball, mentorship and community engagement,
