I am one of many in San Francisco who do not own a car. I take pride in riding MUNI every day; if not multiple times per day. Our vast public transportation system is one of the many beautiful things this city has to offer.

A pathway for thousands of SF residents to evolve and improve their skills and capacity for the challenges ahead.

“[The] revolution about to be televised, you picked the right time for the wrong guy,” said Lamar, leaving many to speculate that the “wrong guy” America picked was the one in the audience whose name everyone knew, President Trump.

As a Black student, I’ve observed that its leadership, programming and general presence lack many African American voices or faces.
