Over 60 tenants and community advocates from San Francisco's District 6, which encompasses SoMa, Tenderloin, and Treasure Island, congregated on June 28th at the Bayanihan Community Center for a tenants convention.

We at SOMCAN are beyond excited that Theresa Imperial of the Veterans Equity Center, our longtime ally and a staunch SoMa community advocate, was recently appointed to serve on the Eastern Neighborhoods Citizens Advisory Committee.

In Part I of this interview with Jerome Reyes (May 2017 Kapitbahay Newsletter), Leslie Rabine asked him why he, an internationally recognized artist, researcher and educator, is so passionately devoted to working with the staff and young people at SOMCAN.
