Good morning!
It got too late to send out the newsletter on Thursday so we saved it for today.
Without further ado, we have the latest on the election results and some digging around in the data on those results.
We’ve also been going to the listening sessions held in Black neighborhoods to hear what residents have to say about a new policy around pretext stops. While there is little trust in the police, residents also say they want better relationships with the SFPD.
There’s a newly restored mural on Treat Avenue and loads to do this weekend.
Enjoy,
From all of us here at Mission Local.
