DESCRIPTION: September 14th at HANC will be all about District Election of Supervisors 
 and just how and for whom it works. We are fortunate to have as our guest 
 the longest serving district elected Supervisor in the modern history of 
 San Francisco, President of the Board of Supervisors (for the second time), 
 Aaron Peskin, who represents District 3–Russian Hill, North Beach and 
 Chinatown. \n\nThe first neighborhood districts went into effect after 
 being passed in 1976. The promise of district elections was that it would 
 result in a Board of supervisors that looked like San Francisco. The first 
 district elected Board had a majority of tenants and the first directly 
 elected Black and Chinese Supervisors. This district-elected board passed 
 rent control, condomin­ium conversion and public employee contract 
 reforms. \n\nAfter a repeal, then reversal, San Francisco has had district 
 elections over the last 23 years. \n Last month, a “study” called for 
 the repeal of district elections (an analysis of the study can be found at 
 Mission Local and 48 Hills). At-large elections are dominated by big money 
 and tend to disempower communities of color and lower income voters. Join 
 us for an important conversa­tion about this critical issue \n\n
