“Kids bounded up the grand marble staircase at San Francisco City Hall on a recent afternoon and down the hallway to Room 200 where the mayor works. Alongside some teachers and parents, they handed a letter to Mayor London Breed’s secretary describing what it’s like living in the Tenderloin and demanding the mayor’s help.
‘We are immigrants and refugees. We are children and mothers and fathers,’ began the letter, written by staff at the Tenderloin Community Benefit District on Nov. 5 and signed by more than 400 neighbors. ‘We are small business owners and the people San Francisco claims to respect and protect and celebrate. We are the Tenderloin, and you have failed us.’”
