Dear Partners,

Help us spread the word!  SFDPH is seeking input from populations most impacted by sugary drinks in order to develop funding priorities. SFDPH started by convening focus groups to learn from the community what their needs, capacity and desires related to healthy eating and active living.  As our next course of action, SFDPH is hosting 5 town halls in September to:

  1. Share back/reflect on the input from those community focus groups; and
  2. gather more input to inform funding priorities for the sugary drinks tax.

The first town hall will be held in the Bayview Hunters Point – Tuesday, September 11, 2018. 6pm – 8pm; Southeast Facilities Commission, 1800 Oakdale Ave.  Please Register here for the Bayview Hunters Point Town Hall.

Please visit www.shapeupsfcoalition.org/input for more details (including SurveyMonkey option if you can’t come) and help spread the word! Food and drinks will be provided and interpretation services and childcare are available upon request. Flyers will be available in English, Spanish and Chinese.

Here is a complete listing of all the Town Halls:

  1. Bayview Hunters Point – Tuesday, September 11, 2018. 6pm – 8pm; Southeast Facilities Commission, 1800 Oakdale Ave
  2. Mission – TBD
  3. OMI – Monday, September 17, 2018. 6pm – 8pm; Minnie & Lovie Ward Rec Center, 650 Capitol Ave.

Mindfulness Meditation Sessions: Free Every Tuesdays

7:00 pm; St. Cyprian’s Church, 2097 Turk @ Lyon

2

With regular mindfulness meditation practice, there are well-documented benefits to mental and physical health and spiritual well-being, including relief from symptoms of stress and a greater capacity be compassionate. When making time to practice in a safe and quiet place, being still, and turning attention inward, the mind can more easily become aware of present moment experience. This is where habitual patterns of thinking and behavior can be noticed, presenting an opportunity for change in ways that may improve one’s health and promote peace for oneself and for the world. The meditation will be led by Mary Costello who practices meditation with the Insight and Zen communities in San Francisco. She has a graduate degree in Integrative Health and professional training in both Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction and in mindfulness facilitation. There are free, weekly, 30-minute meditation sessions. Each will begin with a 10-minute guided meditation, followed by a 20-minute silent meditation.

7Bayview Community Based Transportation Plan
Join the Steering Committee and Help Your Community Direct $600,000
in Bayview Transportation Funding
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has secured $600,000 to improve transit and transit access for the Bayview’s residents. These funds could be spent on infrastructure, such as new bus stops and improved routes to transit, or on programs, like a community shuttle or more frequent MUNI service. To decide on how to spend these new funds, the SFMTA is launching a participatory budgeting exercise. Through participatory budgeting, community members work together to come up with ideas, develop them into proposals and vote on where the money will go.
The SFMTA is seeking interested members of the Bayview community to serve on our Steering Committee, which will decide on the rules of the participatory budgeting process, which projects are eligible for voting and funding, and how the overall process is run in the community.  The SFMTA wants there to be no barriers to participation in the Steering Committee. The agency will be offering compensation for community members willing to dedicate their time to this effort. Women, people of color, seniors, youth, and people with low incomes are especially encouraged to apply.
Please fill out our quick application or contact
Christopher Kidd at christopher.kidd@sfmta.com or (415) 646.2852 to get more information.
