Congrats to Curtis Chin who launched his book, 'Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant', a beautiful memoir of a writer's coming of age in 1980s Detroit amid rising xenophobia and political upheaval, grounded in life at his family's Chinese restaurant.

The LOPV has been a trusted name in well-researched analysis for years nationwide, helping elect Obama & scores of progressive champions. Here in SF, I’m proud to have SF League of Pissed Off Voters endorsement from smart neighbors who remain engaged & working hard for equity, progress & reform.

I am glad that the Administration is finally doing something after my colleagues & I suggested reforms in last year’s budget to fund 4 FTE for the Office of Victim Services. Congratulations to longtime public servant Ivy Lee.

Acupuncture was part of my care during cancer treatment. The doctors at Kaiser Permanente know that the science shows acupuncture is effective for all sorts of prevention and treatment.

Governor Gavin Newsom, acupuncture is essential medicine, plain and simple.

During the late 90s, I suffered a back injury playing volleyball. I may not have recovered properly had it not been for the magic of acupuncture treatment.

For many Asians, by default, acupuncture is a preferred care (vs. physical therapy).

Science of energy...
