thank you for joining us this morning. it is 6:00 in the morning on tuesday, may 14th. >> so let's get started.

>> i'm looking forward to working with you and with the members of the community to make oakland safer. >> another new police chief in oakland. his first day and the hopes of a community for the year ahead as businesses close and robbery numbers climb. as hard as it is and it's still damn hard, but there's just like this light at the end of the tunnel. oakland gave me my dream and made my dreams come true. so i'll always be indebted to the town. >> not all is bad in oakland. and in fact, in some ways, things are up. how cell phone data informs where and when the big east bay city makes a bounce-back. this community has become increasingly outspoken and also influential politically. >> roots and resilience. our aapi month stories define the importance of the asian vote in the bay. and artificial intelligence bosses in the bay area today. the talk of keeping technology in the health category and the work to keep it from harm. good morning, everybody. i'm reed cowan and so nice to have you

with us on a tuesday. 6:00 in the morning and i'm max darrow. >> gianna franco is off today. it's great to be here with you all and reed, always great to be with you as well my friend. >> nice to be with you my brother. okay, let's take a live look outside on this tuesday morning. and see what we're dealing with here. beautiful, beautiful out there. with just you know if you don't like the weather in the bay area, maybe drive ten miles and you will see something completely different or wait a minute right max? >> this is just a typical view though. you got the fog right below and then a beautiful sunrise above. maybe most of you won't see it today though. jessica burch, where you got to be to see this sun today? if at all. because we didn't really see much of it yesterday. >> no. if you head to areas like in higher elevated areas like the hills in san francisco, you can actually see the split just from the foggy side and the not so foggy side in the peninsula. so let's take a quick look at what that's going to look like for us in the bay area. everyone has a different sight picture and some of us dealing with cool and cloudy conditions all day long along the coastline. but in the inland

areas the sun will come up once again anywhere from concord stretching down into the santa clara valley. so here's our weather headlines. it is a quiet weather pattern for us this week. but that may gray is sticking around for us today, tomorrow just like what we had yesterday. and we're going to still see the sunny afternoons in the inland areas but daytime highs, they're going to stay pretty much near normal. so let's take a look at what that means for us. once again we're topping off in the upper 50s and lower 60s along the peninsula down into half-moon bay. pulling right back up into petaluma and santa rosa we're topping off this afternoon in the 70s. and as may gray is definitely holding on tight to us for now. it's going to take a while for this to dissipate and move along. right now heading down into the santa clara valley, we have one of most beautiful sunrises i have seen in quite some time. it's just over that cloud layer we're waking up to and looking up at. help bleed off the marine layer and 80s today near livermore and low 70s in the heart of redwood city. so as we

take a look at what's going on for us throughout this afternoon, that marine layer pulls back like a blanket just along the coastline. like what i mentioned earlier, it's going to split the peninsula in half just like yesterday, if you head up to areas like al that plaza the park in san francisco. head up there and you go to the highest peak you can actually see the foggy side of san francisco and the not so foggy side. that's going to be the case for us all throughout the peninsula into areas like santa cruz, were now over to you, reed. all right, thank you so much. more reactions on the roadways as people start their drive time on a tuesday. we have a few things to let you know at the top of hour a live look at bay bridge. this is what we usually see because the metering lights are now on. and the traffic is backed up to the usual sight there at the toll plaza. it does look like this for the next few hours. just pack your patience. approaching from 880 and 580 are clear. into san francisco, chp alerted a crash on westbound 80. kind of a hiccup as you make your way across the bay bridge.

we'll keep watching it. live now in the south bay where we see a new campus encampment. this one at san jose state university. calling for a ceasefire in gaza. the message continues to be persistent there and at other bay area campuses. in fact, we are told there will be rallies today as regents where the university of california meet at uc more seed for three days on a hot button issue. so let us know what you think of this one. should professors and staff be barred from posting their views about the war in gaza on campus websites? these are campus websites not personal posts. with university officials facing criticism by members of congress for not controlling hate speech against jewish students, those officials now feel the pressure to set boundaries on political speech that could appear to represent the universities' overall political stance. that won't be the only thing. probably heard the term calimony. it's describing ucla's divorce from the pack 12 to join the big 10 and a plan for ucla to write a big

check to cal we're talking about $10 million a year to help cal shore up its athletics department after that sports divorce. max? bay area cities continue to try and find ways to get people into downtowns. still struggling to recover during the daytime. the permanence of hybrid work really is a major issue and has been for a while. but at night, a change for the better that may be you have even noticed. yesterday, we showed you it is still quiet during the workdays on weekdays in downtown san francisco, but at night a lot of restaurants and bars are seeing solid foot traffic. cell phone data backs up the two realities as well. so this morning, we take you to oakland. like san francisco, downtown oakland which is where you are looking right now live, it's still shell of itself. at least in a pre-pandemic sense during the daytime. while it is getting busier there's still just as an absence of people who work there on monday to friday during the regular working hours however a different picture unveils itself in the evening that shows promise for the town. but

it comes with some big ifs. >> reporter: with another day of work at her flushoakland office complete, monique rans is headed home to san francisco. >> yeah, i have worked downtown almost two years now. >> reporter: like many people who work downtown, she's a hybrid worker and makes the commute a few times a week. >> yep, we're in tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays and then work from home mondays and fridays. >> reporter: her office attendance has recently increased, up from two days to three days a week. >> it's still not the most bustling downtown i have seen as far as cities go. but it seems -- it seems to be getting a little livelier. >> reporter: but it's still pretty slow downtown. with hybrid work the norm, there's still an absence of people during the day that once kept the town busy. >> there's a few restaurants that have closed since i have worked here. yeah. so it does seem like things are not the best for businesses nearby. >> reporter: by using cell phone data to get a complete picture now, of downtown population patterns now versus pre-pandemic numbers, rather than just office vacancy rates,

the university of toronto school of cities has been tracking downtown recovery rates for several years. of the cities they track, oakland's downtown is on the slower side when it comes to recovery during the monday to friday working hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. it's at about 63% of pre-pandemic levels during the day. but per the cell phone data, downtown activity jumps at night. hovering around 100% of pre-pandemic levels. >> we have 21 on the books today. >> must be a show. you want to check on that at the fox though. >> reporter: which is why chef nelson german and his team game planned for what would be a busy night at his restaurant, sobre mesa, which as of lately, has started to become the norm again. >> a lot of positive energy in oakland right now. let's keep it going. coming out of the hole and coming out strong and just going to keep on going. >> reporter: chef nelson says he noticed things started to pick up a few months ago. >> still not perfect, of course. there's still people, not enough people walking the streets. but there's an uptick slowly. i wish it -- was

happening a lot earlier. when people were -- other businesses that were amazing were still around. >> reporter: he believes some of the changes are due to investments in making downtown oakland safer, though he says more does need to be done. >> definitely has helped especially in this area having the parking garage that's outside at 19th street, having a program, only $5 at a secured lot after-hours. that has made people feel a lot safer. >> reporter: the restaurant business is never easy. but during a time when many have either chosen to or no choice but to leave oakland, chef nelson says he owes it to the town to be part of the comeback. >> as hard as it is, and it's still damn hard, there's this like light at the end of the tunnel. oakland gave me my dream and made my dreams come true. i'll always be indebted to the town. that's what keeps me going. because they've given me so much, i have to give back. >> i feel like it does get a bit of a bad rap. >> reporter: while she enjoys being in downtown oakland the days she's in the office, monique does see how the

permanence of hybrid work creates a major challenge for downtowns as they come back or really come into a new version of themselves. >> i think it does make it tougher for cities with people just commuting in and not staying and frequenting businesses locally as much, aside from work. >> reporter: so when people are downtown, she hopes they'll think to support local businesses first, so they can help move the town forward. >> well, there's more after-hours activity happening in oakland, crime really does remain a serious concern. despite his positivity about being in the town, chef nelson recently dealt with his own share of problems. his other restaurant ala mar was recently broken into multiple times. monique's employer has brought in more security to make people feel safer when they go to and from work. she thinks that's been a good move to this point. now when it comes to the prognosis for oakland recovery, dr. karen chapel with the school of cities downtown recovery project says oakland has its unique set of

challenges that could continue to impact that road to recovery. >> even though our data showed it has great after-hours activity, i think a lot of that is changing actually in the negative direction. i'm seeing a lot of recent restaurant closures, a lot of store vacancies. i think oakland is going to need a little bit more of a boost to come back. >> but that million dollar question, where exactly will that boost come from? so lot of people who take pride in living from oakland and chefnelson was really bummed out and upset and angry after that series of break-ins that he dealt with recently. >> right. >> but it was the people who lifted him up and gave him a new sense of positivity or just really reminded him of the positivity that he has for the city he's proud to call home. >> to the people who broke into the business and we still don't know who they are, they

haven't been caught. you are workings against the interest of your own city and that really is the message for anybody who would commit crime in oakland. the other thing is we're seeing businesses pull out that are connected to major corporations. we're not seeing the local businesses the barbecues that were hit by fire and we're not seeing local start-up businesses pulling out. they're putting the skin in the game and i think that's why we have such joy and highlighting their stories here. >> absolutely. we'll, hopefully we can see some more solutions soon so they can get on track. >> all right. let's speak about the solutions and you know lot of people say crime is a concern in oakland. businesses struggling because of robberies. we just talked about that. so enter a new tool. in law enforcement. a new police chief and this is coming at a time when he's working under a da and a mayor facing recall attempts. so there are some tricky waters to achieve some of these goals we just talked about. we'll meet the new chief on the job straight ahead. plus, let's go over the bay bridge back to san francisco and talk about the power of the asian vote. coming up, the accomplishments of one

group that felt unheard, where they go from here to did my legs shrink? i can move them. i mean, i knew alaska airlines' premium class had extra legroom but this... this feels different. okay. crazy idea. on the count of 3... i'm going to try and cross my... ohhhhhhhhhhh boyy that's nice. woooooo! ( ♪♪ )

all right, good morning to our friends in oakland. it's 6:15 in the morning. your alarm going off now. another day of

introductions for the newest top cop in oakland. floyd mitchell. he started his day yesterday talking to oakland's newest officers who he'll lead. here's what he told them about a career in law enforcement. >> it's given me the opportunity to meet some amazing people and see really truly what -- human nature and what the impact we have on human nature as law enforcement officers. >> new boss, new recruits but outside of these rooms mitchell knows the honeymoon phase will be short-lived. tall order. here's his first message to a public that is anxious for change. listen. >> i'm looking forward to working with you and with the members of the community to make oakland safer. >> the mayor and the d avenue of the county face losing their jobs if recall campaigns are successful. we talked to those who hope to work closely with the new chief.

>> unfortunately, you know, so -- our situation is so needed of him. especially our business community. so he has to hit the ground running. >> i say one guy with a proper attitude will always make a difference. and always takes that one guy. >> so rodriguez there in our community. saying he believes somebody needs to have a great attitude and stay positive. so let's talk about this. overall, crime is actually downcompared to the huge spike in oakland last year. we're talking about robberies up overall crime down. 6:16 on the tuesday morning. taking a live look outside, this is a beautiful view looks like it's from mount diablo looking towards the east bay there. looks like some of the fog is cleared up, jess. but we're in for a fairly pleasant day here. so jess, i'm going to move over to you now because -- fire is burning somewhere else in canada. causing some concerns for people in the united states. >> absolutely. it looks like a foggy day in the video from canada. but that's actually just a blanket of smoke. you can barely see the skyline in

calgary right now. as dozens of active wildfires are burning in alberta and british columbia sending the thick smoke across the border down into the united states actually. and there's also just air quality alerts on end on both sides of the borders. anywhere from minnesota all the way up into canada and officials have issued the state's first air quality alert of the year. with parts of wisconsin and iowa also facing very similar air quality issues. we are keeping a close eye on that here in the bay. of course we're keeping a close eye on that here because we have loved ones over there and also just continuing to watch that smoke really billow its way down. i want to show what you it looks leek right now and current conditions. this is the pm 2.5 levels. continuing to watch this this morning. we have a weather pattern actually blowing the smoke down into the nebraska and dakotas. continue to keeping a close eye on that. but let's dive over into us in

the bay area. it's not a blanket of smoke, it's a blanket of may gray. rock along the california coastline anywhere from bodega bay stretching down into communities like half-moon bay. now into the afternoon hours we go, just like clockwork and just like yesterday too, it pulls back along the coastline and we're left with sunnier skies anywhere from napa into areas like los gatos. into the afternoon hours. but it stays cool and cloudy as can be. along our coastline. keep a close eye on the marine layer in the next couple of days and kind of the big talk of the town right now. really, because daytime highs are really reflective as to what we can expect when it comes to that marine layer. i mean, cool, cloudy and a little bit breezy along the coastline and only topping off in the 50s near half-moon bay and pacifica. low 60s now into san francisco. yesterday we were in the 50s. once we head off into the east bay like i mentioned sunny as can be through the afternoon. once the blanket pulls back. still sitting over the santa clara valley but it's also only 6:19 right now. so it makes sense. it will pull back closer to around 10:00. we'll

see sunny skies and upper 70s all the way down into san jose. with that sun already shining just above us. and above all this gray. now as we head into in next seven days high pressure sitting offshore and it's kind of staying stagnant. 70s remaining in the forecast a little bit of a cooldown as we head into our weekend setup. but still, partly cloudy conditions in our inland areas and 70s in sight for us there and then we see more 60s in sight for us all the way along the bay. reed? all right, let's talk about traffic this morning. 6:20. one of the main trouble spots this morning is for our friends over the altamont pass. we continue watching this one. usually a hotspot for westbound commuters coming out of tracy very slow as you go to 680. it's about 56 minute drive from the 205. now let's take a live look at the southbound 880 and san lorn so. we can see some more brake lights starting to fire up over in the east bay. that will lighten up a bit in hayward or approaching the 92 to get on to the san mateo bridge. you have a clear drive

over on to 101 from there. in san francisco, construction is officially under way on a project aimed to make soma safer and more access to believe cyclists and pedestrians. folsom street will undergo major renovations and same type of work is also planned on howard between 4th and 11th. city crews will be adding protected bike lanes with planters separating them from the road and also put in raised crosswalks and a dedicated public transit lane. especially officials expect the construction to finish in 2026 and for howard street they plan to break ground next year with a goal of finishing in 2027. reed? all right, max. thank you so much. time right now 6:20 in the morning. and a big question. do you think everybody in las vegas wants the a's? you might want to think again. by the way it's a headline in las vegas telling us about major effort to stop

different coo and kind of check the box of playing there. that's how it's going to be to start my career. so. >> clark was the number one pick of the draft this year for good reason. she broke the all-time scoring records coming out of the last year in college. let's talk about the a's now. not everyone in the state of nevada wants them to move to sin city and in fact there's a very big and very influential group who hates seeing any public money pay for the a's new and shiny las vegas stadium as you see here in the renderings. they've been fighting it in court. well, yesterday they had a loss in their effort to take the issue to voters. they felt like votering would say absolutely not. and the nevada supreme court struck down a ballot referendum that would have allowed voters to decide whether to use that $380 million taxpayer money to build the ballpark. they're called schools over stadiums and they're the group that got the bad news yesterday. but guess what? they're going to dig in their heels and they're going to fight on and they plan to refile that petition for next year. for the 2026 ballot. also i have been following what's going on on the plot of land

that holds the tropicana. starting to tear it down right now to make way for the much talked about a's stadium but there are some problems there as well as it relates to being attached to a resort there and no hurry. so sure the headlines continue to come out and i'm not sure it's a slam dunk. >> we were both in las vegas when the raiders moved and golden knights were created and we both worked there for a while. they were smooth. the processes overall, yeah, people there just accepted they would with open arms. not the case this time. >> i think vegas is more excite ready a potential nba team than they are the a's. >> exciting. >> that's going to be a big headline. >> we'll see. well. 6:27 in the morning. welcome to our visitors who are talking ai safety in the bay. what they think the very real risks are for all of us as it pertains to artificial intelligence. and it has been a source of frustration for neighbors in half-moon bay. the new political pressure mounting to

6:30 in the morning. taking a live look right now at our beautiful bay area bridges. every look is a postcard and even when it's the typical may gray. >> honestly looks a lits l bit better than it did an hour ago though. >> thank you, jess. >> you're welcome, i have been working on it all morning and i made some phone calls and we got the people online. no. >> she called her people. you got a guy. >> the national weather service. okay? all right. let's take a quick look at

what's going on outside right now. now the national weather service hasn't issued any advisories and any alerts for us here throughout the bay area. but we know this time of year, we usually get that may gray and that's exactly what's happening for us just like yesterday. we're waking up to those gray skies and luckily not impacting visibility at the surface level. or at least at the bay bridge. but it definitely is making for a gloomy start to the morning. the forecast is quiet for us this week. we don't have a lot of big bridges around the corner. we don't have any crazy storms moving their way in. really oh it looks like they're changing the camera behind this but really what's going on for us this week is the fact that we're getting a repeat of what we lad yesterday. stunnier skies in the afternoon hours through the inland areas still foggy and cool along the coast and a look at the reason why that's happening, high pressure sitting directly offshore. it's kind of just staying stagnant and that's going to deliver in more of those coastal clouds breezy conditions along areas like half-moon bay and pacifica stretching all the way up into bodega bay. but drier conditions in the inland areas and sunnier skies around the corner. let's dive straight into it. waking up the morning,

yes it's cool but later this afternoon, we will warm up a lot. if you live in antioch or concord, if you live closer to san francisco, or half-moon bay, we're kind of already in the 50s right now so we're not going to see too much of a daytime high shift in the forecast heading into this afternoon but area lake livermore topping off in the 80s once we see more sunshine in the forecast for us. here's that blanket all the way down into the santa clara valley right now just overlooking areas like los gatos and san jose. from our black mountain cam so you can see the sun above us and starting to plead off that marine layer and it will continue to do so as we head supply this afternoon. and like i said we'll get that split sunny skies in the inland areas and not so sunny skies along the coast but more on that coming up in a bit. reed? all right. thank you so much. 6:32 right there on the nose. getting busy as we get closer to the 7:00 hour. we are seeing some slow reactions out on highway 80? hercules. san pablo. you can expect bumper-to-bumper traffic as you head towards the bay bridge or even that richmond-san rafael bridge. it is slow going kind of getting gummed up there.

year and a half ago. and what they're proposing on that piece of land there, i think is too big. >> reporter: disagreements over the size of the project and parking have caused delays and a postponement of a vote to approve the project by the city's planning commission. >> i need to spend a little more time thinking through this. >> reporter: but now the political pressure on half-moon bay to act just got worse. governor gavin newsom issued a statement saying quote, last year, a deadly shooting brought to light the squalid living conditions of farm workers in half-moon bay. rather than do the right thing and approve badly needed housing for the workers who feed us, a 40 unit complex for low income seniors is being stalled by local officials. newsom said the state could take legal steps to hold the city accountable. if the project does not move forward. state senator josh becker, who represents the area, said this is about the need to move forward.

>> we've all seen now the conditions some farm workers have been living in. i have worked to secure $3.2 million from the state, along with assemblymember marc berman, and we need housing built. so i'm really hopeful that the community can come together and find a project that everyone can agree on. >> reporter: pierre beatty also lives near the proposed site in half-moon bay and says this project is one of many that have faced delays. >> well, there's always been a problem with getting stuff done in this town. money, politics. some of the locals have told me that they're concerned about parking and traffic and noise and this and that. but, you know, you get that everywhere. i don't think it's a problem. >> reporter: the city's planning commission will once again take up the housing issue at a meeting on tuesday night. >> today, governor newsom will provide an update on the effort to transform the state's mental health care system. the goal, accelerate support for seriously ill and homeless californians. on friday, governor newsom acknowledged

>> i want a little bit more emotion in your voice. a little bit more drama. >> got it. let's add some drama. once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named byte -- >> no, no, i really want maximum emotion and maximum expressiveness. much more than you were doing before. >> understood. let's amplify the drama. once upon a time in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named byte. >> okay. i'm just going to say it. make it stop. >> freeze frame our faces right now. >> i -- it's too weird and it's too kooky and too real. congrats to everybody who is making it happen. it scares me. it also has a memory so it can learn from previous conversations. no word yet when the new version will be released to the public. you know, you hear that and you see how responsivive it can be and you can kind of see why president biden has said look we have to make sure we roll

out the technology with some safety guards. >> i can see there are plenty of really, really good uses on this horizon. we're going to see some amazing things happen because of ai and innovation in the future. but guardrails is the keyword here. >> yeah. >> also want to hear more of the bedtime story. >> not this early, max. you have to stay up. 6:46 if the morning. maybe this will wake you up. take a look. sky divers proved that red bull does give you wings. they did something that has never been done before. look here, lean in. feel it with them. there they go flying right through london's famous tower bridge. >> this austrian duo trained for the feat for a year. part of the training included flying between two cranes set up to match the dimensions of the tower bridge. look at this. >> oh, yeah. >> finally. >> so the feat only took about 45 seconds. a year of training went into it of course. but what moment for these two. they practiced this jump about 200 times to figure out what the

best height was to leap from. just incredible. >> camilla was asleep next door. [ laughter ] she didn't hear a thing. >> oh my. max is not touching that one. jess? good morning to you. >> good morning. my jaw still dropped that was so sick. the fact that they went under it and the fact that they practiced that long just for a 40 second drop. wild. >> and sick is a good thing in your vernacular. >> sick is rad, sick is good. reed. all right a quick look at what's going on outside right now. heading out the door, that's probably just me speaking military. i don't know what's going on this morning. let's take a quick look at what's going on here the morning here in the bay area. still dealing with may gray. the setup of clouds is going to last in the afternoon hours. high pressure is sitting directly offshore. that's driving in this very stagnant weather pattern actually. heading into the next couple of days so we're going to see small day-to-day changes. no rain in sight anytime soon. dry

for us this week which is actually great news for any outdoor activities. have to keep in mind the pollen count is still kind of in the medium category. drop that and talk about what's happening for us today though. a lot cooler and a lot cloudier along the coastline this afternoon. compared to some of the inland areas. just like yesterday, 50s along the coastline and 60s near san francisco throughout this afternoon. we warm up just over the mountains over into redwood city. into the 70s. we continue to warm up from the upper 70s all the way into the 80s off into the east bay throughout this afternoon with plenty of sunshine once this marine layer starts to pull back because right now it's still acting like a blanket. this is the live cam from black mountain overlooking the santa clara valley. the sun is up and doing its thing and it's drying really hard to help kind of dissipate the marine layer and it's going to happen with time. into this afternoon. close to around 10:00 san jose will see plenty of sunshine. will continue to watch it pull back along the coastline and kind of just sit overs area half-moon bay and pacifica this afternoon leaving us with cool and gloomy but for the rest of

us, we get plenty of sunshine even up into wine country for that matter. so day-by-day, like we mentioned already, little day-to-day changes. but we will cool down just a smidge more heading into the weekend's forecast. upper 70s now low 70s into the weekend. and into early next week, with just the partly cloudy skies all throughout the inland areas and of course along the coast too. but along the coast it gets cooler. this is going to be a nice little stretch of time to do like i said any outdoor activities. find a new trail, maybe pick up new hobby outdoors. it's dry and beautiful and just cool and gloomy in the morning hours. reed? >> maybe put on the music in the play list as you drive. a lot of brake lights on tap for southbound 880 commuters in san lorenzo. crash has also been reported near the a street exit and watch out for that. condensed traffic will linger until about union city. another trouble spot is highway 4 from antioch stretching on over to the bay point year. bumper-to-bumper traffic as you head towards concord. and good morning to our friends at the

altamont pass. you have kind of seen the struggle bus all morning long. get into the bay area. and an accident recently reported by chp mentions one lane is blocked for those of you going westbound 205, so add a little bit more time to your travel if you need to this morning. in san francisco, asian americans make up 33.7% of this population. despite representing one-third of the city, the group was never really considered an important part of the political landscape. but guess what? that changed in 2022 when the asian american voting block woke up and decided to flex their muscle at the ballot box. this morning we're learning the two issues that sparked this awakening and how politicians have taken notice. here's ryan yamamoto. >> reporter: when lily ho walks through san francisco's chinatown, she sees power in numbers. >> the aapi community is 38% of the population of san

francisco. so -- if it's not important, it would be a really big problem. >> reporter: and when hate became part of the problem for the aapi community, it was lily and other community members who became part of the solution. especially during the rise of attacks on elderly asian seniors. >> it was anger. it was frustration. hopelessness. it was -- shock. like -- how can this even happen? >> reporter: at the time, the community felt their concerns were being ignored by then - district attorney chesa boudin. >> nobody is representing the victims. >> reporter: who they believed was not doing enough to protect them. >> it was outrageous that we were seeing it and then allowing it to happen. >> reporter: in 2022, the power of the asian vote led the charge to recall the former da. and that was just the beginning. because during the same year, that same voting block of asian americans, frustrated with the direction

of san francisco's education system -- >> actually incited the entire chinese community. >> reporter: -- sent a clear message by recalling three members of the school board. >> education and public safety were two things that the aapi community rallied behind. what happened was we succeeded in winning historical recalls against four elected officials. >> reporter: han li covers both the aapi community and now politics for "the sf standard." he says the school board and district attorney recalls changed the political landscape, forcing city hall to take notice. >> this community has become increasingly outspoken and also influential politically. >> reporter: candidates from mayor london breed to those looking to win her seat at city hall. you can easily spot them at asian american functions, courting the asian american vote. and behind the scenes, their campaign teams have become more diverse. >> very intentional that they will look for chinese speaking

staffers who are familiar with the community to do the community outreach. >> reporter: other candidates are taking it even one step further. >> [ speaking in a global language ] >> for example, like danny sauter, who's running for district 3 supervisor, which includes chinatown, right? he's learning cantonese for years and now in some of the campaign events or political debates, he's showing off his cantonese speaking skills. >> reporter: as for lily, helping to organize the aapi vote may be an awakening of her own. this past march, she recently won an elected position on the democratic county's central committee. >> there are still a lot of voters in the community that aren't engaged and that aren't voting and that aren't registered to vote. >> reporter: inspired to step into the political arena with more work to do to highlight the power of the asian american vote. >> the community recognized that elections are extremely important to those things that they cared about. >> reporter: but also to amplify the power of

representation. >> power of story telling there bring wrap yam. when we say the power of the asian american vote. we should note that considerable power lies within the chinese community who represent 180,000 of the nearly 300,000 residents in the city's aapi community. that power was on display earlier this year. case in point in february, before the lunar new year, mayor london breed proposed putting a homeless center in chinatown right over there bordering north beach. well, mayor got some pretty quick backlash from the chinese community and considering it was before the election year and lunar new year, the mayor backed down. all the stories are celebrated on kpix.com and by the way, put this on the calendar and get your family around the television set and watch the hour long special. your stories through finding our beautiful communities, friday, may 24th at 4:00 p.m. uplift in the morning? coming up, a little boy
