Banko Brown Murder & License To Kill: SF Press Conference At DA Brook Jenkins Office

The murder of San Francisco trans organizer Banko Brown at a Walmart by a security guard
resulted in no prosecution by the SF District Attorney Brooks Jenkins and this was supported by Mayor London Breed.

Banko Brown who was homeless and hungry was attacked by the guard and shot when he was outside the store.

A press conference as held at the DA's office on Wednesday May 17 2023 to protest the lack of prosecution by Jenkins and the support of that action by Mayor London Breed. Speakers talked about the systemic racism and homophobia particularly against Black youth and the failure of the Democratic Party which runs San Francisco to provide housing and other services.

The press conference was held at District Attorney Brook Jenkins office at 350 New Hampshire which is also the offices of SEIU 1021 and there were SEIU 1021 members supporting the press conference but were not allowed to speak. The leadership of SEIU 1021 and the San Francisco Labor Council have refused to call for the persecution of the security guard for murder.
