International Women's Day 2015

Observing International Women’s Day 2015

As I acknowledge and join fellow W.O.R.D SF members in celebration of International Women’s Day with the theme of “Still Fighting for Our Rights & Equality”, I look to the women around the globe who struggle every day for justice in countries such as El Salvador where reproductive freedom and access to abortions are forbidden back to right here in the United States where human rights and the legal system are not equal from Florida with the Stand Your Ground Law to California with Yes Means Yes. Also let us not forget that in 2015, this celebration also encompasses our comrades within the transgender community and those who identify as such to provide an array of international diversity.

Specifically, as I speak of Carmen Guadalupe Vasquez Aldana’s case, Marissa Alexander’s case, Meggan Sommerville’s case and the SB967 Student Safety Sexual Assault Bill-let us rally together loud and proud to “say no to the status-quo…full equality for all women”…thank you!!! -KJC

Kesha Johnson-Clark Speaks at SF City Hall

Kesha Johnson-Clark, 34 made public comments/questions at the 4-14-14 Land Use & Economic Development Committee meeting for Late Night Transportation SAFETY concerns...agenda item 3 [140079] Supervisors: Kim, Cohen and Wiener in attendance hearing with the Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), Alameda-Contra Consta County Transit District, Transportation Network Companies, the Taxi Industry, the Mayor's Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and the Entertainment Commission, to discuss the city's late night transportation needs and progress towards developing a Late Night Transportation Plan, with specific areas of focus, including ease of access, speed and safety.

Kesha: "Hi and good afternoon to all in attendance, my name is Kesha Johnson-Clark and i'm speaking today as a resident, a working person and one who utilizes public transportation on a regular basis. My comment/question is in regards to safety, what percentage of crimes are captured on public transportation video such as taxi, BART and MUNI...and is there any research to support the correlation between crimes such as robberies, hate crimes, sexual assaults, rapes during late night transportation that would justify having an emergency transportation division option in the city if there isn't one in place already and if so, who is the contact person??? Thank you."
