Last night’s Citizen Hope event at Mercury Lounge was an incredible success!  See photos on Facebook. The event was the effort of Matt Haney and other Citizen Hopers.  And special thanks to Rich Pio Roda and all the staff at Mercury Lounge!

An incredible number of elected officials attended, including: District Attorney Kamala Harris, San Francisco Assessor Phil Ting, Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, Supervisor Chris Daly, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, Board of Education Commissioner Hydra Mendoza, City College Trustee John Rizzo and City College Trustee Steve Ngo.

And we had another very special guest last night — Tony West, appointed by President Obama to be assistant attorney general for the civil division of the Department of Justice. Tony is Citizen Hope co-founder Meena Harris’ dad.
